A GREAT SPEECH
In bur next issue will appear Col. A.
C. Flak's great speech on the silver
question delivered before the American
Bimettallio Association at Washington
February 22. This speech is one of the
ablest ever delivered on the silver
question. It has created a sensation
throughout the whole country.
.. We will publish the speech in full in
one isue though it occupies nearly
twelve columns. Send for sample
copies of this issue.
The recent gold scare seems to have
been designed to help force Sherman's
950,000,000 bond scheme through con
gress. The democratic party is now Incom

of the hour Ii: What will they do with
their victorv?
Congressman Bryan's bill, pro
viding that lands advertised for sale
under the decree of United States
courts must be advertised in the county
in which such lands are situated, has
become a law.
Ths fifty-second congress is dead. In
another column appears a review of its
last session's work. What it did looks
pitifully small beside the vast aggre
gate of needed work it left undone.
The only thing the people have cause
to be thankful for is that it didn't do
worse.
During the last campaign the Kear

The Montana legislature failed to

CLE7ELA5D A3D MONEY.
Mr. Cleveland's Inaugural 1 in many
respects a most remarkable one. It is
perfectly characteristic of the a an
It manifest mot clearly his great ego
tism and his cold-bloxkd di regard of
popu'ar sentiment. He seems inspired
with .he idea that he has been raised
up for the performance of a great work,
that of protecting the people aga'.nst
the consequences of their own folly.
After reading bU address one feels
tempted to paraphrase the saying
"There Is one God, the mney power,
and Cleveland is hit prophet."
It is idle for any one longer to be
little the money question. It is the
leading issue ia American politics to
day, asd will b until it istettkd. Mr.
Cleveland gives the money question
precedence in his inaagural, and plscs
the tariff qu stien on a buck seat. lie
says; "Manifestly notbisg is mon vi
tal to our supremacy as a nation and
to the boaeflcent purpose of our gv
eminent than a sounl and stable cur
rency."
While Mr. Cleveland thus confesses
the supremelmportance of the money
question, he pleads with all the vigor
he possesses in behalf of the single-
go!d standard, and against every move
that looks toward an increase in the
circulating medium. The shylocks of
the world were "wise in their day and
generation" when they tecured the
nomination and election ef Grover
Cleveland
In the opening of his address the
president says: ' I deem it fitting on
this occasleo, while indicating the
opinions I hold concerning public ques
tions of present Importance, to also
briefly refer to the existence of certain
conditions and tindenc'us among our peo
ple which seem to menace the integrity and
usefulness of their government.
V
It is true that "certain conditions
and tendencies" exist that "menace
the integrity and usefulness of this
government." But what are they?
They are the increasing indebtedness
and poverty of the masses, the increas
ing collossal fortunes of the few, the
Increasing power of organized wealth,
the increasing sense of wroi g and in
justice in the minds of the poople, the
increase of pauperism, immorality and
crime, the increase of labor troubles
and strikes, the increase of tenantry
and landlordism, the increase of polit
ical corruption, and the decrease of all
that goes to make the people of the na
tion contented, prosperous and happy.
Are these the "conditions and ten
dencies" Mr. Cleveland refers to? Ev
idently not. The first "menace to the
integrity and usefulness of our govern
ment to which he refers is the "degra
dation" of our currency. He says "its
exposure to degradation should at once
arouse to activity the most enlightened
statesmanship." In other words the most
enlightened statesmanship should be
aroused to protect our present financial
system the chief cause of present evil
conditions against the action of the
unthinking masses. Evidently Cleve
land does not believe "the voice of the
people is the voice of God." To him it
is only "popular clamor."
He says further: "The danger of de
preciation in the purchasing power of
the wages paid to toil should furnish
the strongest incentive to prompt and
conservative precaution." In that say
ing Cleveland does not exhibit states
manship, enlightened or otherwise. On
the contrary be sinks to the level of the
demagogue. He makes an appeal to
narro i shortsigted selfishness. He af
fronts the honest toi'ers of the nation
by appealing to their cupidity aud pre
suming on their ignorance.
If Grover Cleveland were an "en
lightened," statesman he would know
that the only Jway In which the purchas
ing power of wages can be depreciated is
by decreasing the 6hare of the products
which goes to the toiler. As curreney
contracts debts expand. As debts ex-
Dand the usurer draws an ever Ini-rnBa.
ing share of the products of toil. On
the other hand with cheaper money,
Shylock will get a smaller share of the
products, and the toiler a greater share
It means increased activity in every
line of business, and industry. It
means Increased demands for labor,
and higher wages. It means life, while
contraction means decay and death.
"
Speaking further on this point, he
says: "In dealing with our present
embarrassing situation as related to
this subject, we will be wise ii we tem
per our confidence and faith in our
national strength and resources with
the frank concession that even these
will not permit us to defy with im
punity the inexorable laws of flnancs
and trade."
This is nothing more or less than a
great "bugaboo" set up to frighten
people out of thinking for themselves.
There are some ' inexorable laws of
finance and trade." One of them is
that a contracting volume of currency
means stagnation and decay. The ad
option oi the gold standard which is the
idol of Cleveland's .heart means the
death of modern civilization. Against
thU the people are struggling Intelli
gently. For ttls Cleveland 1 pleatiiing
ponderously, Ignorantly, blindly.
Again, says Mr. Cleveland: "At the
same time, in our effort to adjust the
differences f opinion we should be frte
from intolerance or passion, and our
judgments should be unmoved by
alluring phrases, and unvexed by
sclfiUh interests." One must believe
Cleveland slicere. No hypocrite, how
ever rank, could make such
statement under such circumstances
without blushing. It outdoes hypoc
risy. Speakirg in behalf of men whose
every political act is inspired by "elf
ish interests," wboe sole stock in trade
is "alluring phrases"; representing the
money power of the woild, the most
powerful, intolerant, and soulless com
bination of selfish men that ever ex
ited, he pleads with the people to be
tolerant and uuBtlfioh!
' I am confident that such an appeal
to the judgment will result in prudt-nt
and effective remedial legislation. In
tbe meantime, so far as the executive
branch of the government can inter
vene,none of the potters with which it is
facetted will be trithheld uhin ihiir exer
cise is deemed necessary to maintain our
national credit or avert financial disaster"
If such an exhibition of despotic in
tolerance has a precedent, or a parallel!
in the history of our government, it has
never come to our knowledge. Re
duced to plain Anglo-Saxon, Mr. Cleve
land says: "I will use very power
with which I have been invested to
prevent the free coinage of silver.. J
will select as my political advisers only
men who believe in a single gold stand
ard. I will dispense federal patronage
only to those who subscribe. to that doc
trine. I will endeavor to have both
bouses of congress organized against
all silver legislation. Lastly, I will
veto any measure of finance reform
which is not ia accord with my ideas
on the subject." And this man pre
tends to Le a disciple of Thomas
Jefferson!
There can ba no doubt that Grover
Cleveland will use all his power and in
fluence as president of the United
States to effect the complete demoneti
zation of silver. In eo doing he will
Ignore and over-ride the sentiment of a
large majority of his party. In e do
ing he will drive a wedge that will rift
the democratic party asunder. Already
Is the republican party dead in spirit.
Its monopoly leaders today stand closer
to Grover Cleveland than a majority of
his own party.
The outcome will be a new grouping
of political forces within the next four
years. It will bo the masses against
the classep, the great plain people
against the money power.
CITY POLITICS.
Two years ago, the people of Lincoln
made a strong effort to rescue the city
government from a ring of corrupt
politicians. The effort was partially
successful. An able honest man was
elected mayor. But the ring succeed
ed in electing the rest of the city of
ficers, and a majority of the council.
The mayor undertook to give the city
better and cleaner government through
a complete reorganization of the police
force, and the appointment ot good men
to All the various offices under his con
trol. In this he succeeded for a time.
But the men who are opposed to good
clean city government soon found means
to thwart and defeat him.
Under the city charter, the mayor's
appointments on the police force are
subject to the approval of the excise
board which consists of the mavor him
self and two other members. The de
feated ring found in the other two
members willing tools. They contest
ed the mayor's right to control the
police force. The matter was fought
out In the courts and the mayor was de
feated. The eontrol of the police de
partment was taken from him, his ap
pointees were dismissed, and a new
force organized. Since then matters
have gone on very much in the old
fashioned way. The utter inefficiency
of the present force is apparent. For
months the streets of the city have
been infested with highwaymen who
"hold up" citizens with impurity.
The saloons are open after hours, and
on Sundays. Gamblers ply their trade
almost undisturbed. A policeman
seems never to be in sight just when
and where he is needed.
The spring election is coming on, and
it is for the vo -ers of this city to de
termine what kind of government they
want for the next two years. To all
present appearances, the old ring is
still in full control of the republican
party, and will nominate a full ticket
of time-tried ringsters. On the other
hand the reform elements, lovers of law
and order, will undoubtedly re-nominate
Mayor Weir if he will accept. It
is understood that Mr. Weir does not
desire to make the fight for re-election
if his hands are to be tied as they have
been. A move is on foot to have the
legislature amend the city charter so
as to put the control of the police
wholly in the hands of the mayor.
Whether or not this amendment will
become a law it is impossible to fore
see. There is however another way in
which the tame object can be obtained
and that I by the election of an excUe
board that is in full sympathy with the
mayor. The fight in the prlne elec
tion ehonld not center on the office of
major alone. It should be made along
the whole line. Mayor Weir should
accept the nomination, and head the
t'ckfct made op of giod capable men
frem top to bottom. Partisan politica
should be kept out of city government
as far as possible. The issues Involved
are of a moral aud business naiure
rather than of a partisan character.
Partisanship ia ci'y politU-s is a cl -ak
under which bad men sneak into office
The people of Lincoln should rally io
the standard of referm and go d gov
ernment regardless of party politics.
They should re-elect Mayor Weir, and
fill every other offieo with an equally
good man. Every ward should elect to
tfce council a man who is free from cr r
proration or bank influence, a man who
will put the welfare of the city above
everything else, a man who is iu ym-
patby with the laboring ma?es.
If thare ever was a lime wden Lin
coln peeplo should bave their eyes open
it U now. The d velepments of the iast
six months have shown them tbe
character of the men who have been
running the republican machine. Bill
Dorjran. Dan Lauer and Charley Mosh.
er now stand unmasked before the peo
ple, but their political associates and
c6-workers 'are still in the ring. Tbe
task of retiring them from active polit-
cal life is now before the people, and
the time to begin the work is at the
coming spring election.
THE L00AL EEF0EM PRESS
Stand by your local reform papers
Take a lively interest in its welfare.
Subscribe for it. Pay for it. Read it.
Get your neighbors to subscribe for it.
Patronize the men who advertise in it.
When you go into a store to make pur
chases, give the merchant to under
stand that it is to bis interest to adver
tise In your local reform paper. This
doesn't cost you anything, but it means
valuable assistance to the struggling
reform editor. Help in every way to
improve your paper. Help your editor
get the local news. When he attacks
corrupt local politicians, hold up his
hands. Make him feel that he has
your moral as well as financial backing.
If you think your local paper isn't as
good as it ought to be, don't go about
carping and kicking. Bat help in some
way to make it better.
You cannot possibly over-estimate the
power of your local weekly papers.
They wield a greater influence over
public opinion than the great subsidiz
ed dailies. They are close to the peo
ple. They are carefully read. They
have a large share of public confidence.
They cannot betray their readers with
out being caught in the act.
The local reform press is the main
stay of the people's movement. If it is
faithfully supported and sustained, tbe
continued progress, and final triumph
of the people's movement is assured.
If neglected, or deserted by the people
our fight is in vain. Therefore stand
by your local reform paper first, last
and all the time.
MONOPOLY KNOWS NO PASTY-
In matters of legislation the men
representing the various moneyed in
terests of the country stand together.
When the anti-option bill came up for
bnal passage in the house last week, all
the goldbug, trust and monopoly rep
resentatives stood with the board of
trade gamblers and defeated it. When
silver and railroad legislation comes up
the board of trade gamblers return the
favor. Party'polltics cuts no fisrure
when monopoly interests are at stake.
Although a large majority of the demo
crats in the past congress were in favor
of free coinage, and anti-optloa legisla
tion, they could never get caucus action
on either question. The monopoly mi
nority asserted its independence of the
caucus and voted with the republicans
to defeat legislation in the people's in
terests.
When will the people learn to follow
this example set by monopoly r tools?
If the people would only declare their
Independence of party machines, the
great issues of the day would soon be
settled. More than a million voters
have already got their (yes open, and
thousands more are doing tso every
week. The light is breaking through
the dark clouds of party prejudice. The
day of deliyerance is coming,
It is very seldom we find anything in
the columns of the State Journal that
we care to reprint. But this week we
copy from the Journal a long article on
the outrages at the penitentiary which
we think will be read with great inter
est. The Journal does not crive the
names of the ex-convicts who write the
letters, but asserts that the committee
on the investigation of that institution
caa verify their genulnenefs. There
can be no doubt that the treatment of
convicts is horribly cruel and inhuman
and we hope the committee will give
the whole matter a thorough airing.
George Conn formerly editor
of the local independent paper at Oga-
lalla, Nebr., has gone to Miles City,
Montana, where he will take charge of
a new reform paper. He writes that
his prospects are excellent. He has
our best wishes.
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER-
Several alliance brothers who are
blessed with inquiring minds, have
wrlttt n us to know just hat is the true
history of Burrows' connection with
Holden during the past year. Now.
while wo desire to devote as little space
as possible to Burrows, we feel that
is only justice to alt parties, including
Burrows, that the real truth should be
made known. Being in possession of
the inside fact', wo will give them as
briefly as possible:
About the last week In January, or
the first In February, 1892, beiigjnst
after tbe state alliance meeting, Mr,
Burrows entered into a deal for the sale
of hU half interest In The Farmers
Alliance to W. C. Holden. The
purchase price was to be $2,500. Mr,
Holden went to Buffalo county to try
to raL-c the money.' He was to return
on Saturday and close the deal. Dur
ing the week, Burrow wrote Holde
to come on and take the paper. He
also telegraphed hitn to make haste,
Meanwhile several leading independ
ents in Ltncola pot wind of the scheme
Fore-seeing the impending calamity to
the people's cause, they went to Mr,
Tbcmpson, who was Burrows' partner,
Tfcty protested mott earnestly against
the scheme, and finally induced M
Thompson to object. So when Holdt-n
did come to take tbe paper. Mr. Bur
rows was obliged to declare the deal off
A few days lat -r he sold his interest to
C. H. Pirtle, charging him$250 more
than he had offered to take from Hoi
den.
Did Mr. Burrows know what kind of
character Holden was at that time?
That is a fair question, and easily an
swen d. Mr. Burrows has answered it
several times over his own signature,
He says he was well acquainted with
Holden's character and his history for
the previous twelve years. It was dur
ing those twelve yearB that Holden
made his boodle record at Kearney,
Yv e ask all the honest earnest alli
ance people of this state to contemplate
this move. Here was Burrows the
acknowledged leader of a great move
ment, a man on whom honors and
favors had been freely bestowed, the
editor of a great paper which the people
had biti'.t vp for him, a paper on which
the success of the movement largely
depended, He decided to sell the paper
and retire from active work. There
were dozens of good true able men in
this state, and in other states that
would gladly have taken his place,
But without letting the public know of
his intention he secretly entered into this
deal with the greatest villian, the vilest and
most notorious boodler in Nebraska, and
was only prevented from turning oyer
the Farmers' Alliance to him by the
veto of his partner. Is such a man
worthy to be trusted with power, and
leadership?
Time passed. The Alliance and the
In Dt penden t were consolidated. Hoi
den came to Liacoln and started Lib
erty. From its first issue observing
men could detect "the wolf in sheep's
clothing." He began a campaign of
slander and ridicule against Kem, and
the editor of this paper. The local
press of the state warned the people of
bis character and mission. After this
had gone on for several week?, Mr,
Burrows deliberately went to Holden
and entered into a deal to purchase a half
mttrest m Liberty. The price was set,
the de'.ails arranged. Mr. Burrows
wrote his salutatory. Itas then that
good true friends of our movement
again came to the rescue. They found
out what was going on. They protested
with ail their might, aEd threatened
Burrows with exposure and denuncia
tion. He weakened and declared the
deal off. He authorized the editor of
this paper to state that hs had not
gone into partnership with Holden
Then because we referred to that indi
vidual as a "notorious boodler," Bur
rows came out in a letter over his own
signature condemning this editor and
fully endorsing Holden. Then Holden
filled his columns with terrible tirades
of abuse and slander of Wolfe, Dech,
Kem, Pirtfe and the editor of this paper
week after week. After this had gone
on for six weeks more, on June 25
Burrows wrote another and longer let
ter in which ho fully endorsed Holden,
and congratulated him on the course he was
pursuing. This is the letter published
in tnese columns three months ago. It
is said that 50,000 copies of that one
issue of Liberty were scattered over
the state. Hundreds oi them were dis
tributed in Bobanan's hall when the
state convention met to choose dele
gates to the Omaha convention. Bur
rows was nominated, and his name was
hissed. He did not receive one vote.
Even the man who nominated him was
ashamed to vote for him.
Then for many weeks Holden carried
that letter of endorsement in his paper
alongside of the most villianous slan
ders ever penned, slanders of men the
latchet of whose shoes neither Bur
rows nor Holden is worthy to stoop
down and unloose.
During the sampaign, Burrows and
Holden wsrked and consulted together.
Up to the date of Serator Allen's elec
tion they were frequently seen consult
ing and talking confidentially together
at the Lindell hotel.
True and loyal independents of Ne
braska, these are facts of history. They
are faots you should consider well and
remember long. While you were striv
ing and sacrificing in the battle for
human right, while jou were trying
to wrest this state from the control of
corporations and corrupt ring, this
man Burrows whom you had honored
and trusted, deserted you aid went to
the a&islanee of the vilest tool the cor
porations of Nebraska ever employed.
Burrows and Holden are linked to
gether in sympathy and in purpose.
To condemn one is to condemn both.
To uphold one is to uphold both.
The effort to wreck The Alliance
Independent began on the part of
Holden and Burrows early lastsummer.
Liberty was their chosen engine of
destruction. Just when J. M. Thomp
son fell into line with them we cannet
say. But that he did fall in there is
ne denying. It is a deplorable fact.
And just at the time when .they
thonghtthey had THE Alliancb-In-dipendent
crushed, they sprang into
the newspaper arena to gloat over and
fatten on the spoils of their devilish
warfare. But they misea'eulated.
They reckoned without their host. The
Alliance Publishing Compasy met its
enemies, and hurled them buck into tbe
mire of dishonor.
And now Burrows, trua to his in
stinct is trying to deceive the people
regarding his connection with Holden.
He is now denying that he ever had a
financial interest in Liberty. This is a
straw man he sets up and thump3 very
vigorously. As a matter of fact no
body accuses him of having a financial
interest in Liberty. We invite him to
quit pounding a dummy, and address
himself to the facts we have set forth.
AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.
The present political situation is far
from being what the friends of reform
desire and what they are determined to
accomplish; yet the cloud has Its silver
lining. The education of the people
on questions pertaining to their vital
Interests Is manifesting itself in the
growth of a well defined and powerful
sentiuent against those corruptions
and national wrongs that have grown
up under the sheltering wings of parti
san rule, and is making itself felt in
stite legislatures and in the congress of
the United Strtes to an extent than en
courages the belief that the time is not
far distant when the people will obtain
some substantial redress of grievances.
The more than one million votes cast
for the presidential nominee of the in
dependent party has produced a mark
ed effect and its wholesome lessons are
emphasized by the fact that the Inde
pendent movement is daily ffrowinar
and strengthening. -Its friends are
becoming more and izore confirmed in
the correctness of their principles, and
are asserting them with increasing
boldness. The mining states are fact
coming to understand lhat their in
terests are identical witi those o' the
wage earnera and the producers cf the
country.
There is a growing sentiment in the
western and southern states in favor of
a closer organization and a more ag
gressive warfare against the policy of
the government which protects the
few at the expense of the many, sub
jects the ordinary business of the
country to the grinding power of mo
nopoly, legislates in the interest of thn
bondholder and those identified with
the money power of tbe world, leaving
the people to struggle without relief
against tha .growing evils of a con
tracted currency, falliner prices and in-
creasing indebtedness.
The news from London, the head
centre of the gold standard forces, con
tains glimpses of encouragement. Brit
ish farmers in some of the most favored
districts, in view of the fact that their
holdings have depreciated more than
forty per cent in the last few years, are
protesting against the financial oolicv
of the government.
London bankers are said to be divi
ded on the silver question. Open dis
satisfaction was strongly manift sted a
few days ago in the House of Commons
against a British delegate to the Brus
sels conference because of his antago
nism to bi-metalism. Members of the
house well known Britith bankers
favor the free coinage of silver and
openly advocate it in their discussions.
Public santiment is makin? itself foi
in the United States congress. Sher
man's $50,000,000 bond scheme was de
feated a few days ago in the senate.
Hading that the sundry civil hill wnnM
fail to pass with the bond amendment
attachod, the amendment was with
drawn by its friends. Sherman mani
fested his chagrin by indulging in a
tirade of abuse aginst the silver men
a gold-bug calamity howl.
