ALLIANCE NOTES.
The alliance was organized on great
fundamental truths. Many members
may cease to be s ch, but very few will
ever abandon the great principles of the
order
The alliance is not a partisan organlza
tion. but it is a political organization
with a ble P. The mmbors realize
that nearly all the changes iheydi mand
must be secured through political ac
tion.
Farmers, don't lose any opportunity
to talk your principles to your city and
Tillage acquaintances. You will find
many of them in Egyptian darkness re
carding the real poll ical situation.
They need light. Many or them are
willing to receive it. All they want is
to have it fairly and earnestly present
ed. Not long a0 a man who lives in
Lincoln did a iew days work tor an alli
ance man living a few miles out of town.
He came back to the city an enthusiastic
populist. Tnis Is merely an Instance of
what may be dne.

Editor Alliance-Independent:
( pm happy to inform you that Ante
1 V, county after nine or ten months of
uuxuterupted rest begins to shows signs
of returning life and vigor. Oae year ago
the Elgin T. P. Alliance had at least 80
active members. For sonie cause, no
boby knows what, they quit holding
. meetings. Last week word was given out
over the valley that there would be a
meeting at the McKay school house on
Saturday evening May 6. S. C, Fair-
child was invited to be present. The
meeting was opened by a few remarks
by the writer showing the necessity of
farmers' attending to their own busi
ness and the great saving they cou'd
mane if they would. It is reasonably
clear that at least one-balf of all the
money now paid stock companies for in
surance would remain n the hands of
tne larmers u tney wouia insure mem
selves. We have 112 of these corporation
leeches in Nebraska that draw from
the people about a million of dollars a
year more than they pay baca to the
people in losses. This and the interest
on the farm mortgages mikes up that
capital we hear so much about "flowing
in from the east " We furnish it and
like simpletons give mortgages on our
After some more talk along this line,
Ml Falrchild was introduced, lie told
ht w foolish he was in staying in the G
O P. until the pro lucts of the farm
s ireely paid the cost of production
1 ten he was told it was over-produc
tion, l ben he began to tnina and rea
son. If there was too much of every
thing necessary to supply human
wants, all ought to have enough. This
was not the ca.-e. Destitution and
want prevailed more than ever before
He could not harmonize destitution
with over-production. Common-sense
rebelled at the idea. Because too many
suues dou uevu iuu cuuunsa were
barefooted. Because too many goods
bad been manufactured, tne people bad
to go half clothed! The cause of his
condition must be found some where
else. A little Investigation demon
strates the fact that the people have but
little to buy witn. lne value nas been

Why the Gold-Bugs Keep the Silver
Dollar Circulating Only la tbe
West and South.
Bancroft, Neb., May 8th, '93
Editor Alliance-Independent:
Dr. Fish's article, in your issue of
May 4th, is a correct statement of the
distrlbu ion of silver. It is all in the
west and the south. JNo one ever tees
a silver dollar in tne east, lne silver
is all kept in the west and south by the
Wall street crowd, but the reason for
their action is not the one assigned.
They hope to come to the actual gold
standard in the near fu'ure, stop all
coinage of silver and demonetize it
completely. When they have done
that, the west and south will have
about 500 millions of silver on hand
which will be worth about twenty cents
per ounce, measured ny tne increased
gold standard. That is just what they
intend to do and no'hing else. If the
worklngmen will just keep on organiz
ing and striking and let'ing politics
alone, they will de it too. In that
happy day, tbe common laborer will get
about twenty live cents a day, and then
if he strikes be will be hung lor trea
son, imprisoned for contempt of court
or shot down as is most convenient to
the plutocrat. T II Tibbles.
A Great Summer School
A few days ago a representative of
The Alliance-Independent visited
the Linc.olanNormalUniver-ity and met
with a great surprise. The remarkable
growth made and tbe substantial
character of the institution is astonish
ing. It is all the more so since the in
stitution has made so little ado over
their possessl ns. The laboratories and
recitation rooms are as well equipped
as any we have ever seen in a normal
school The building has not an equal
in the college line in the statu. J he
course of study and faculty are without
parallel in western normal school
work.
THE SUMMER TERM
All the energies of the management
are at present centered on the summer
school. It will be a great training and
review ecbool for teachers. Over
seventy-five different daily studies will
be given for the teachers to choose
from. A' y study required 'or a first,
second or third grade certificate, or a
state cert ncate can oe cnosn ir a
student wants to begin a regular course
be can do so. shorthand, telegraph.
book-keeping, and music departments
sustained. They are receiving students
every day. The best oi all is that they
are glvn g ail oi tnese superior xdvant
ages for the same price charged bv the
cheaper schools. They are now send
ing out their large new catalogue which
can be secured by writing them. This
will answer all questions relative to the
school.

STATE ALLIANCE FIRE INSURANCE CO.
There are so many counties in this
state in which it seems almost impos
sible t get a fire and 1'ghtnlng com
pany started, and we have been urged bo
many times by alliaece men to encour
age a state company, that we have con
eluded to make the following proposal:
As soon as we have tbe names of fifty
men who will insure 850,000 or more we
ill submit articles of incorporation and
bylaws for their consideration and ap
proval. If such articles do not meet
tbe approval of the proposed member,
he is thereby released from taking a
membership in the proposed company.
We will endeavor to make this com
pany one that can be endorsed by all
alliance people and in fact we ask that
presidents and ex-presidents of county
alliances lend us a helping hand. We
dt not want to start this company isa
money making concern for any one, b .t
because we are asked to do so by me a in
counties that have no county fire and
lightning company but are being can
vassed by urfcrupul-ms agents for
money malting companies: The
State Alliance has only eadorsed oue
company and that is tbe Nebraska
Cyclone, Tornado and Wind Storm In
surance Company. We do not want to
interfere with any county mutual in
surance O 'mpauy, because there are
many advantages that they hare over a
state c ompany, while a state company
also has some advaatages over a county
company.
We hope to hear from manv within
this month in counties where there is
no local company,

MORSE'S HUSH MONEY.
-Me Kednces the 1'rlra or Monkey Jackets
to I'leasa I'metlcal Joker.
Senator Morso was too much of a
man to bo ashamed of his calling,
says Kate Hold's Washington, and
never failed to turn the tables on any
one who ch&fod him about it. A story
used to be told of a visit paid to his
store in lioston by a Washington
swell who had met him at the Metro
politan club hero, and who thought
to have a little amusement at his ex
pense. As the visitor entered Mr.
Morse was just in the act of bowing
out a customer to whom h had solo
a large bill of goods.
"Ha, Morse!" cried the Washinir-
tonian, "how I wish the fellows at the
club could see you now, I watched
tho way you handled that poor wretch.
It was artistic, but it wouldn't do to
tell away from home. What will you
give me to keep quiet about UP"
The clothier looked his caller to
the face without a smile.
"I must gif you bomoding to buy
your silence?" he asked, soberly.
"Certainly It's only fair that I
should be rewarded for holding a
good thing back."
Mr. Morse turned to one of his
clerks.
Choseph," he said, "get down one
o' r'em monkey chackets ve sell for
two tollars and a quarter. Let dls
