A LETTER WORTH READING,
A Finn of HorsemenTell What They
Think of the Alliance-Independent
as an Advertising
Medium.
Below we publish a letter from W. J
Wrougtiton and company of Cambridge
Nebraska, who re among the best and
most txtensive importers and deale's
in horses in the west:
Cambridge, Neb., Feb, 33, 1893.
Editor Alliance-Independent:.
Enclosed please find check to bah nee
last statement. Please continue my
advertisement' through March and
April.
In regard to our st: ck, e have a very
fine selection of horses on haod coasis
ting of all the fash ioc able draft and
coach breeds. We have sold the pres
ent season about 40 head of stallions of
the various bn e Is. They have gone in
to JNeorasKa, Kansas, uo:oraao, lowa,
South Dakota and Wyoming. Our
horses are in fine health and condition,
and intending buyers cannot afford to
pass us by witnout inspecting our
horses. We have no cheap horses in
the general acceptation of the term.
Tney are cueap only in the sense of
"the best is the cheapest." ;
We cannot sell a first class horse for
$800 or $1,000, but we suaraitee to crive
buyers m re horse and quality combin-
ea lor tne money than anv okher simi
lar concern in tbe business. Our noi ses
ar3 ail impoited by ourselves, therefore
we offer no one the refuse of some other
mans stock. We offer any firm $500,
premium that cn show 30 horses in one
string of the different breeds equal to
iutnat we can stu together. Oar
horses are all o ng, all sound and all
jn good heart. vVe give the most liber

A Powerful Argument In Favor of
Jiefplnir up the Kubordlna
Alliance.
As an educator thero Is no organize
vion at present that can supply the
place of the Subordinate Alliaucva Con
vinced of this fact, tho executive com
mittee have come to the determina
tion to Ivest ever? penny derived from
fees and du, initiation! and other
sources that shall reach the treasury
at once in extending and building up it
educational advantage. The lamp of
our experience cl arly shows that It is
not profitable to have money in the
treasury. Tf in 1890, we had bad th
11,200 expended oa our heads, we
would not have paid it out in useless
contests of a political party; or in 1891,
would not have loaned $1,500 with no
expectation of its ever being returned,
to those whose sympathy led them to
secure fees for attorney's . only to be
betrayed by them. Two years of that
kind of experience is enough.
The last annual meellog at Grand Is
land ordei el fieexicut Tjcosmltt:eto

this educational line. It was fouad to
be no eay matter to prepare an A B C
primer for fathers and mothers, aid
grown up boys and girls whoso educa
tion is supposed to be completed. The
manual is now ready t) be distributed
to the Subordinate Alliances. It will
be found, to be only an lndictter, a

OUR" ILLUSTRATION. v
The two English Shire stallions shown in tho above cut are King Fashion (3777) anl Ducallon (7106) owned by Joseph Watson &
Company of Beatrice, Ne", This tirra we believe ha the finest stud of English Shire horses in Nebraska. They have -on an enviable
reputation amon the horsemen of the entire west. Their horses have uniformly won the highest honors at the fair associations,
hence the vfry approoriato, familiar title of "Grand Sweepstakes Stud"' as applied to then). Jo-eph Watson & Co. were one of the few
importer who imported a bunch of stallions in 1892. These were selected by Mr. Watson in person, and the ("elections wre made
wholly upon the merit of the animals without reference to price. It was one of tho bst importations made during 893. The firm
ha now located a branch establishment at Lincoln with A. L. Sullivan, tho well known hnreem'.n, in charge. The stud can be seen at
A. L. Sullivan's barn We anticipate this firm will receive a very large amount of business in the next two months. We advise all

discussion and elicit truth.
Recognizing the fact that ignorance
is the foundation rock, tho principal
basis of all poverty, Solomon took note
of this when he declared that'lt was for
the want of knowledge that his people
were destroyed.'' It is from the sumo
cause that now the great producing
classes are suffering from degradatlop
and want. Ingnorance aad poverty are
the father and motber of crime, im
morality, insanity and micide. It is a
familiar ubstrvatum that children by
association at school friction, emu

than all the teachers and wrofessors.

more so amongst adults, crown ud men
and women. It is friction alone that
keeps their minds bright and clear.

Allex Koot.
Independents of Nebraska.
Brothers in the cause of God and hu
man it : Tbe object of this communica
tion Is to warn you of the dastardly
attempts that are being: made by our
enemies to destroy our state paper, and
to entreat you to stand firm in its de
fense and rally to its support.
About the first of April last, as you
will remember, the Nebraska Iadepet
dent edited by Mr. S. Edwin Thornton,
and the Farmers' Alliance were con
solidated into the present Alliance
Indrpendknt under the able manage
ment of Mr. Thornton. Mr. Burrows
retired to affiliate with and endorse
one W. C. Holden who is now knon
and proven to be a boodler masquerad
ing under the gaise of an independent,
backed up and supported by our ene
mies. When Mr. Thornton assumed control
of the paper as edltor-1 -ji ie , al
though a man of a year's experience in
the newspaper business, his ability as a
writer, his under sending of the princi
ples of the reform movement, together
with his personal honesty and integrity
soon won for him a host of fvlei ds ov r
the state, and proved that be was the
right man in the right place.
Under his splendid editorial manage
ment the paper wielded an influence
over the state to which h largely due
the winning of the first great victory
over republican misrule and railroad
tyranny: namely tne election ol a
United States senator who stands
p edged to tho people rather than the
corporations. ,
it now oecomes apparent irom a
monopoly standpoint that the paper
must be suppressed in me way, and
every circumstance goes to show that a
well planned conspiracy was entered in
to by the enemies of our cause to de
stroy It, as the first step necessary in
order to demoralize our forces and de
feat our cause.
This attempt is being carried out by
Burrows, Holden and Co , who I believe
have undertaken to accomplish this
foul deed by resorting to every possible
tactics known to toe manual of political
treachery! trickery and treason. These
would-be wreckers have now started a
paper under, the name Farmers' Alli
aici, a rase to which they have no
moi-al rh nir, and have issued their first
numbe.' dated Feb. 18, 1893, and many
inuci"dents and alliance men over the
state will ba astonished and humiliated
to learn that the name of J, M.Thomp
son tbe present Secretary aud Treas
urer of the State Alliance appears as
' business manager" of the nw con
cern. The high standing which Mr.
Thompson had attained over the state
as a mai of integt i y and a true patriot
In ibis reform movement must now,
like that of his assistants Holden and
Barrows fall to the ground a political
wr"cft.
E ery possible meanj has been resort
ed to to embarras the paper financially.
The lust resort to accomplish this work
has been instituted by a B & M. em
ployee who bougbt at sheriff sale some
shares in the paper belonging to J M.
i hurcpsOD. This man has appealed to
the eourt for a rtceiqer. Tho plea up
on which he institutes proceedings is
utterly groundless, as I personally know
and will no doubt be thrown out of
court. It is a well known fact that
every independent paper in tho state
has been assailed by the corporations in
one way or another, and some of tacm
har h-fu financially strangled
And now my frirnds, it U to thl p-int
that I detire to speak in concluding
tb's communi(atio'i:
As one who La mado tbe principles
we advocate a study for sevemet-n
ears, who sees the situation of our
c untrr and the dangers that menace
OJr liberty, and who regards the auo
casof mir cause as about all bt
worth living for In this world, I deem
it Impei atlve that our state pap. r b
sustained, and now I appeal to every
true independent In the state to do
something in the way of financial aid
to the paper: first by renewing your
subscr ption. Then let every reader
of this paper Bend the name of one or
more n-w subfcribei s
Tbi is a vital matter and a word to
the wise is sufficient. Now do not wait
for aome one to mention this matter to
you, but let twery- reader of this arti
cle consider him or herself a committee
of one to work for th j Hoesa of the
Alliance Independent. I have
given during the last two years all of
my time and money to the cause, and
expect to continue fighting the battle
until victory is won. Yours for the
cause. J. B. ROMIXE.
