THE ALLIANCE-INDEPENDENT. IN MEMORIAM. His His Yet A noble man is missing from the front rank in the fijjht, A voice ii hushed which never spoke ex cept for truth and rigat, valiant form no more shall load our forces t the fray, forceful face ia slumbar sleeps, our chief has passed away, whild we mourn, as mortal must, for him we loved to greet, We'll face th) work lie left to do, and trust again to mjet; He lives, though lost to mortal's sight; he acts, though naught we se, He still inspires -the gathering hosts; he helps to .'lake men free. Then doubt not ye, who loved him here, the purpose from on high, Such souls as his immortal are, they are not bnrn to die: His name our shibboleth shall 1)3 his zeal our model grand, Among the n ition's honored dead his tomb shall ever stand ; And on the shaft which marks the spot of his last earthly sleep, We'll carve these words: "He sowed the seed, thai freedom, men might reap." Dr. A. S. Houghton. Not Enough Gold. Senator Stewart of Nevada deliv ered a speech in the United States senate recently, in reply to Senator fcheruian. that occupied the greater part of two days. We think the fol lowing extract will intorest our read ers. The world is bankrupt, on a gold basis. The failure of the Harings disclose that which I had stated for year'3, that there was not gold enough, and because of that failure the chan cellor of the exchequer in a public speech, told the bankers of Great Britain that Ihey must increase their gold and reduce their credit or they would bo bankrupted. "Since silver was demonetized more than $1,600,000,000 of silver has been discarded and its place supplied with gold reserves. How long can this continue? The gold kings tell us it must continue until all the world is compelled to do business on $3, 700, 000.000 of gold. The senator from Ohio said that the financial condition of the world was such that we ought not to discuss it; that it ought to be discussed only by wise men; that we are creating a panic by discussing it. What! Is our financial system so 1 Jtten that It will not bear discussion? That is what he is telling us. Why should the financial condition of the world be so rotten, so sensitive, if not because its vast credit rests upon only &Uaa000.000 of gold? Roumania and Belgium are to be brought in; and some say they will bring India into the combination and make her sell her $900,000,000 of silver and re place it with gold. This threat is made when all the world is trembling on the brink of bankruptcy on account of want of a sufficient basis. "There is not gold enough. The secretary of the treasury said on the 27th of December last to the bankers of New York, at Delmonico's, that it is conceded that there is not gold enough. Still he would not increase the metallic basis by the use of silver as money. ' Mr. Sherman tells us it is a bi metallism to coin silver and keep it at a parity with gold by promise ot redemption in gold. Why use silver if it depends on gold for its value? How does it add to the volume of metallic money? Why is it not cred.t money as much as paper? You do not remedy the difficulty by using sil ver bullion as a basis. So far as we know 9ince prehistoric times people have valued silver for its money func tion. Take that away and your se curity is gone. And yet how the fabric of credit is trembling, and the secretary of state tells the peoplo of New York he will, in violation of the law. sell bonds and buy gold rather than treat silver as money. No politi cal party dare do it. It would bring untold misery upon the people of tht United States." Ex. Send for our complete booklist.

The farmers of southern Nebraska will verify this statement. Considering the price of rye and the certainty of the crop, it is the most valuable and desirable to raise. In the v'ciaity of the paper mills in Illinois rye s planted very txtecsively and the straw sold to the mills. The Lincoln paper mills will use live thou sand tons of straw during the next year. Rye straw averages one ton per a?re as against one half tou of oat straw. To encourage Ue raising of rye the Pap(r Mill company will furnish seed to re sponsible parties, and invite the farm. crs to call and make inquiry, at their office, 73G O street, Lincoln, Neb.
