STAND BY THE PEOPLE'S CAUSE,
And Support the Paper That Fights
Your Battles You Can't Afford
to Miss a Single Issue.
The success of the people's movement
depends largely on the faithful and
liberal support of the papers that ad
vocate Its principles. The liberal sup
port the people have given The Alliance-Independent
during the past
year has enabled it to make the great
est campaign fight in its history.
We are not going to stop because the
campaign is over. We are going right
on with the fi?ht. All we ask is a con
tinuation of this liberal support.
WE MUST EDUCATE
The voters if we would increase our
strength. We have never heard of a
"constant reader" of The Alliance
Independent going back to the old
.parties. The loyal independent
workers can do nothing that will help
our cause more than to increase our
list of readers. And now is tho best
time to do it.
The farmers and laboring men have
their best opportunity to read in the
long evenings of the fall and winter
months.
To induce all our old subscribers to
renew, and to secure a large number of
new subscribers, we make the follow
ing liberal offer:
For one dollar we will send The
Alliance-Ikdepkndent till January
A, 1894; in clubs of five or more for
80 cents. Hoping to hear a prompt
and liberal response to this offer we
are Yours for justice,

OUR CHANGE OF FORM.
Our change back to our old form this
week may surprise many of our readers,
but we believe it will please a large ma
jority ot them. Tho change involves
some expense to us but we find it
necessary to our success in making this
paper what we design it to be a news
paper as well as a political organ. Ever
since we adopted the sixteen page form
our readers have complained that we
do not publish enough general news.
Lack of space has been the reason of
this. In the eight page form we will
have nearly six columns additional
space to devote to general news.
We propose to fill that space, not
with long sensational accounts of horri
ble crimes etc., but with a carefully
selected summary of the important
events of the world. Anything we can
Tj do to increase the value of the "Alliance-Independent
to our subscribers
we are ready to do it if it lies within
our income to do it. And all we ask of
our friends is to show their appreciation
. of our efforts, by rolling in the lists of
subscribers.
Congressman McKeighan's ma
jority as shown by the official returns is
3,260. There's nothing small abont
that.
MRS. Lease is a prime favorite with
the republicans of late. Before the
election they quoted her interviews far
and wide, and now they are busily en
gaged running her for U. S. senator.
IN a few days Congressmen Kem and
McKeighan will return to their posts
of duty at Washington. Nebraska
never had two more faithful public
servants. Being in a small minority,
they may not be able to accomplish
much in the way of legislation, but

WHAT 13 MOSEY?
Some of our independent speakers
and writer have a very curious and
fine-fpun definition of money. They
say "money is something no man can
see or handle." They demonstrate the
truth of this proposition (or think they
do) in a very ingenious manner. A
speaker of this class holds up a silver
dollar, a legal-tender, commonly spoken
of as a piece cf money. Then ho takes
a hammer and pounds the silver dollar
into a ball (in his imagination of course).
Then he says triumphantly: "Here is
the same identical piece of silver. But
it is not a legal tender. I have ham
mered the money function out of it."
Then (in his imagination) he runs the
same silver through the mint and
behold! again it is a legal tender, a
piece of money so-called. Finally he
explains that the so-called dollar that
is visible is simply an evidence of an
invisible decree which is the real mon-
ey.
Now all this isjvery interesting, but
is it a demonstration?
This editor is somewhat of a realist
He is presumptuous enough to think he
has seen some money, not very much it
is true, but enough to know how it
looks. Further he believes that by
such logic as the above he can prove
that no man ever saw a horseshoe.
How is this for example: "Here is a
horseshoe. I place it in the forge till
it comes to a white heat. Then I
place it on the anvil and hammer it in
to a ball. It is no longer a horseshoe.
It is merely a ball of iron. Now I
heat it again. I hammer it back into
its former shape. Behold! It is a
horseshoe again. Therefore a horse
shoe is simply an invisible ideal thing
that can be hammered into a piece of
iron, and then hammered out again.
The iron, which the vulgar call a horse
shoe, is nothing but the evidence of
the invisible something which is the
real horseshoe."
Now is that a demonstration? Does
that prove that no man ever saw or
handled a horseshoe? It might with a
theorist, but hardly with people who
rely on plain common sense.
The fact is that money like horse
shoes is a material thing, something
that can be seen and handled. Each is
made out of matter by the exercise of
human intelligence and muscle, and
the use of machinery.
There is a great deal of contention as
to the creation of money. "Money is a
product of labor," cries one. "Money
is a creation of law," cries another,
Now both are right in a certain sense,
and wrong in a certain sense: Money
is created as follows:
The government by the enactment of
law designates i the material out of
which money is to be made, tho form
of the pieces, and in some cases the
weight, the marks and names the piece?
shall bear, their legal functions and in
some cases the number that shall be
made. It also directs certain of its
agents to procure the material and make
the money. These agents, by means
of mental and physical labor carry out
these decrees of government. Tho
government does its work; the agents
do their work. The money is made or
created. Did government create it, or
did labor? It looks very much a3 if it
were a joint creation of law and labor.
To rid this matter of any possible
mystery that may cling to it let us sup
pose a case: On 6ome line Tuesday
evening the city fathers of Lincoln get
together in the council chamber, and
decide to build a city hall, a thing, by
the way, that the city needs very badly
The council proceeds to pass an ordi
nance decreeing that a city hall shall
be built, designating the location, form
size and appearance of the building,
the material out of which it shall be
built, and the use to which it shall be
put; and finally directing certain agents
or employees of the city to erect the
building according to the plans and
specifications. These agents and em
ployees by the use of their brain and
muscle proceed to carry out these direc
tions. A fine new city hall is the result.
Now some persons of a curious turn of
mind, wno hadn't much else to do,
might raise the question: "Is this city
hall tho product of labor, or a creation
of the city government?" And thev
might contend at great length over the
question. Such a contention would be
an exact parallel to the contention re
garding the creation of money. The
fct is that the immediate creators of
the city hall would be the city council
and the men who performed tho labor
under its directions. Money is the
creation of government, and human
labor expended under the direction of
government.
The popular discussion of such ques
tions is of very doubtful utilih. The
people as a rule are sadly in need of
political education. The best instruc
tor of the people is he who can lay be
fore them the important facts avoiding
techinicalities, and fine-spun theories,
and dispelling mystery as far as possi
ble. He who starts out to prove by fine
distinctions, and fine-spun arguments
that money is simply a crea
tion or law, an lavisiole entity, a
thing that has no purchasing power,
etc., may please a few curious-minded
people, but he will confuse most of his
hearers and disgust many.
Your plain matter-of-fact man knows
very well that money is something he
can handle and carry in his pocket, and
the only matter he is troubled about is
that there la not enough money to wh
anJ handle and carry around.
It is high time a good many of the
writers and speakers who are advocat
ing the reform movement should re
vise thir ideas, and adopt simpler and
more uniform methods of presenting
them.
UP TO THEIR OLD TRICKS
It is an old trick with republicans to
try to run the politics of other parties
as well as their own.
Just at present they are trying to
elect Mrs. Lease to the United States
senate. Dispatches have been sent all
over the country announcing that Mr.
Lease is a favorite candidate for the
senate, and trying to make it appear
that she is making a fight for the place
with a good show of success. Ol course
there is no truth in such reports. They
are simply put forth to bring ridicule
on the party. The independents of
Kansas no doubt hold Mrs. Lease in
high esteem, but they are not likely to
consider her for a moment as a candi
date for the senate.
No sooner were the results of the
election known than the report spread
all over the country that Cleveland
would call an extra session of congress
immediately after his inauguration to
repeal the McKinley Bill etc. This is
simply a republican scheme. They are
very anxious to have Mr. Cleveland do
something rash, so as to put his party
"in a hole," to use the expressive slang
of the day.
In response to this Mr. Cleveland has
quietly given it out that he can attend
to his own business, and that the demo
crats can manage their own politics
without the assistance of the republi
cans. The republicans are just now making
a quiet but exceedingly vigorous effort
to control the politics of tho state so as
to secure the election of a republican to
the United States senate. In stands
the independents in hand to keep their
eyes open, and be on the alert to thwart
this scheme.
THE INDUSTRIAL LEGION.
Last week at Memphis, Tennessee, a
new organization was born whose mh
sion will be to work for the success of
the People's Party. The meeting of
the supreme council of the Farmers'
Allianco and Industrial Union brought
together most of the leaders of the re
form movement. This furnished the
the occasion for a general exchange of
opinion on the needs of the reform
movement. The result was the organi
zation of a uew society described else
where in this issue.
The move is doubtless a good one. If
it succeeds it will bring together into
one great national society the members
of all the great reform and industrial
organizations, as weir as thousands
who are not members of any organiza
tion. It will give a unity of purpose
and action that is absolutely necessary
to the final success of the movement.
The work of organization will doubt
less be taken up at once in all parts of
the country. We hope to see it start
ed in Nebraska at once. We will have
more to say on this subject next week.
A HAPPY PRISONER.
Something like a year ago the papers
contained an account of the imprison
ment of three ecunty judges in Mis
souri for contempt of the U. S. court.
Ihe offense of these judges consisted in
refusing to issue a special tax levy to
raise money to pay some bonds issued
by Cass county in 1805 to aid in building
a railroad. The schemers who pro
posed to build the road got hold of the
bonds and sold them, but never built
the road. The innocent purchasers
brought suit for the payment of the
bonds and got judgment, but the judges
refused to levy the tax to raise money
for thsir payment.
These men have been imprisoned in
the county jail ever since. The people
of the county are standinc bv them.
Judge Lane, one of tho imprisoned
judges, has just been chosen a member
of tho legislature by an over-whelming
majority. His term in jail will expire
January 1st, just in time to permit him
to take his place as a law maker.
FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR-
While the independents should can
vass the question thoroughly, and pre
pare to choose wisely, they should let no
factional contentions arise over candi
for the senate that will endanger their
success. There is no lack of suitable
and available material. We have
heard the following men spoken of as
possible candidates. J. w. Edgerton,
W. A. McKeighan, Judge Stark of
Aurora, W. L. Greene of Kearney,
General Van Wyck, John H. Powers,
W. H. Dech, O. M. Kem, J. M.
Devine, William V. Allon, and Judge
Bush of Beatrice. Any one of those
men would make an excellent senator
and wo might name a dozen others who
would be equaliy available.
Franck has a great 6candal just
now. Lessops tho great canal man has
been arrested. It appears that the
vast sums of money voted by tho French
government to aid the Panama Canal
company were used very largely to
subsidize newspapers, bribe officials,
and for various other corupt purposes.
The whole matter is to le investigated.
GUARDING THE GOLD
The Iron Age, published at New
York City, is one of the great capital
istic organs of the country. In the is
sue of November 3, in lU "financial"
department occurs the following:
Respecting the conference a London
financial authority says: "If, as is pro
bable, the forthcoming oloternational
Monetary Conference proves a failure,
there can be but little doubt that the
government of the United States will
cease their purchase of silver. Such a
stoppage would cause no immediate
void in the American currency, but it
would involve a new demand for gold
to furnish the axpsnMve element in the
currency which silver has hitherto
supplied. That is a contingency which
must ever be kept in view, and which
as we have said, renders it desirable
that the bank's stock of gold should
now be guarded with more than usual
care."
This is very instructive.
This London financial authority ad
vises the banks of England to guard
well its ttock of gold. Why? Let
every man who desires to rightly un
derstand the money question note the
answer. It is an answer that car
rics more weight than whole columns
of discussions in political newspapers,
or whole days of speech making in con
gress. Hero is the reason:
icould involve a new demand for gold
to furnish ihe expansive element in cur
rtney which silver hat hitherto fnrniihed.
The fact that currency ought to ex
pand with the Increase of population is
here recognized. Silver is now being
used in the United States to a limited
extent "to furnish this expansive ele
ment." The purchase of silver by the
United States will be discontinued.
There will be a "new demand for gold."
What will be the effect of this new de
mand for gold? Why 6hould the bank
of England guard well its stock of gold?
Because this new demand will increase
fr value of gold. It will enable the
owner gold to demand more for it.
These "h-nancial authorities" know
very well thirty there is a limited sup
ply of gold, an&, that there will be no
new supply to corrYTond with tho new
demand for gold.
In the light of this statement let the
hls'ory of our finances for thv last
twenty-five years be read.
Why were the treasury notes burnea?
Why were the bonds mado payable in
cola? Why was silver demonetized?
Why were specie payments resumed?
Why has continued warfare been
waged on silver ever since it was par
tial ly restored in 1878? Each and
every question finds its answer in a
new demand for gold.
Why has silver depreciated? Why
has wheat and cotton and every other
product of labor fallen in price?
Because new demands for gold have
increased its price. Gold has appreci
ated. Truly says the politician: "A dollar
will buy more to day than ever before."
Anl the financiers of England hope to
see America totally discard silver so
that the gold of England will buy still
more and more, so that it will take
more American wheat and cotton and
pork to pay the millions of interest due
from America to English capitalists
and bond-holders.
Will the day never come when
American intelligence will assert itself?
Is American patriotism a thing of tho
past? Will the American congress
never cease to legislate in the interest
of tho English money power, and
against the interests of American pro
ducers? BOOMING PADDOCK.
The B. & M. Journal of November 18
contained a long article in praise of
Senator Paddock. No name was sign
ed to the article. It was probably
written by some railroad attorney.
Speaking of the coming legislature he
says:
As it is, there is possibility of a three
cornered fight, and yet our independent
friends, being in the minority and un
able to elect one of their own members
and remembering the loyalty of Sena
tor Paddock to the agricultural inter
ests of the 6tate, could with consistency
support that gentleman for the position.
A "possibility of a three-cornered
fight!" Now that is good. In other
words it is barely possible that the re
publicans may not be able to steal the
seats to which Dobson, Elder and New
berry, Johnson, Harris and Darner
have been fairly elected, and hence
they will not bo in a position to send a
republican to misrepresent this state in
the United State senate for six years.
Our "independent friends." Now
that is better still. Of course the in
dependents will naturally feel friendly
to the sang of political desperadoes
which have attempted to rob them of
five fairly won seats in tho legislature.
Of course they will naturally feel
friendly to the party that has sacrificed
the prosperity of our state on the
altar of tho corporations, that has
allowed rings and boodlers to drag the
good name of our state down into the
filth of political corruption, and shame
less debauchery. Of course the hearts
of the independents will naturally
reach out with feelings of love toward
the men who have heaped upon them
ridicule, abuse and slander without
limit, and never even by accident
treated them with decent respect or
common fairness. v
If Senator Paddock were a man of
superior ability, who had rdally tried
to serve the people of his state, the in
dependents could not afford to elect
him as the representative of a cor
rupt and djing party. How then can
they consistently vote for him since he
has no ability as a statesman; lcce he
was elected as a railroad tool, in oppo
sition to the express wishes of the peo
ple, and by most corrupt and disgrace
ful means; since he has stood by Wall
street, against the free coinage of
silver, and by the tariff barons of tho
east in favor of tho McKinley bill;
since he has no sympathy with the
people in their efforts to secure re
forms, and has nothing but contempt
for tho alliance and its leaders?
The very suggestion is an insult
THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
A false report has gained currency
in all parts of the country to the effect
that a gentleman named Grover Cleve
land cf New York was elected presl
dent of the United States on Tuesday,
November 8. This is entirely incor
rect. No election for president oc
curred on that date. In fact no candi
dates for president were voted for.
It is true, however, that 444 men
nominated as electors were voted for
and elected on November 8. It Is also
true that one of these dajs before long
there will be a presidential election in
the United States. These 444 men will
get together in forty-five plazes in as
many states and cast their ballot for
president and vice-president of the
United States, and on the 14th of Feb
ruary, 1893, the vice-president of the
United States will tear open the en
velopes in which these ballot have
been scaled, figure up the results and
tell the peoplo who has been elected.
The people, however, feel very sure
as to what the result will be.
Electors are not supposed to exercise
individual judgment in deciding for
whom they will vote. A public opin
ion that is as mighty as any law of the
land demands that they simply regis
ter the will of the people who chose
them. History does not record that
any elector has ever proved unfaithful
to the party that elected him.
Such is the electoral college, but
such it was not intended to be. The
framera of the constitution undoubte
intended that the electoral coll
should aatually choose a preside
ineiriaea was that the people sho
debate to a few men conspicuous
their yisdonj and integrity the ri
to choose the chief executive. In
early history in many states these e
tors were not vtted for by the peopl
an, out were electetl by state leg!
tures. But as time passed the spiri

the money power in this country, f
rivet the chains of industrial tlavei
upon the people was not alwtys upo
that aide. In a speech in the senate in
1807. speaking of the contraction of the
currency, ho said:
' "To every person except a capitalist
out of debtor a salaried officer orannui "
tant, it is a period of loss, danger, lass1'-

It means the ruin of all dealers whose
debts are twice their business capital,
though one-third less than their actual
property. It means the fall of all
agricultural productions withont any
great reduction of taxes. When that
day comes every man, as the sailors s
say, will be close reefed. AH enter-
prise will ba suspended, every bani
will have contracted its currency to
the lowest limit, and the debtor, com- f
pelted to meet in coin s debt contracted
In currency, will find the coin hoarded
in the treasury and no representative
of the coin in circulation. To attempt
this is to impose on our people, by ar
resting them in the midst of their law
ful business and applying a new stand
ard of value to their property without
any reduction of their debts or giving
them any opportunity to compound
with their creditors or distribute their
losses, and would be an act of folly
without example in civil or modern
times."

o. p. in tho past campaign It may iwell
be said "the half has never been told,"
nor is it likely to be. We have ' just,
learned of a few of the tricks used to
defeat our rallant McKeighan in the
fifth district In some strong indepeu- "'
dent counties the tickets were printed,
with the words "people's Independent"'
in very small type next to his name, and
the word "democrat" in large type
next to the column where the X was to
be made. Many independent voters
who simply marked an X opposite every
"independent" failed to vote for Mo
Keighan. Some of his best friends
made this mistake, and never discover
ed it till too late. When the vote's were
counted it was discovered that hundreds
of independents had failed to vote for
McKeighan on this account.
In Red Willow county where Mc
Keighan has a large number of demo
cratic friends the tickets were printed
without the word "democrat" after Mc
Keigan's name. '" ' -
McKeighan's majority was 3,260, but
there is little doubt that it would have
been 5,000 or more had it not been for
such tricks as the above.
THE GREAT STRIKE ENDED. ""
The great Homestead strike is at an -end.
It ended not in a victory for the
strikers, but in their complete defeat.
The final decision was reached on Sun
day morning. The men will now seek ,
employment imthe Carnegie.mills. Tho
superintendent says only about 900 of '
them will be needed. Of the 3800 men
who went out last June about 2800 re-
main in Homestead today. The strike
lasted 144 days. Beaten and humbled, -a
few of the men will return to -heir1
positions. Humbled,, perywiess and
hopeless the majority will b$ compelled
to seek employment elsewhere.
What other result could have been
expected? What chance has labor
against capital in a contest of this kind?' .
Capital is powerful and self sustaiming;
labor is weak and absolutely dependent '

As Mr. Powderly says, the strike of
the future must be made-" at the ballot
box. Justice must be established by
law, and not by force. In the ordinary
strike numbers do not count , against -capital.
At the ballot ' box . numbers

of the wealthiest employer. Ic the
strike of the future labor will win. '
