And co all that remains for vry
populist ia Nebraska, is to his
shoulder to the wheel and make ( the

greatest populist organs ia tho land.
It caa be done; and, I believe, will, be
done. The canse of the people is com
log uppermost; the future grows
brighter. Victor is insight. The re

the dawa of the new da.
As for Bjrsslf, I have had but a spas

the paper since first of last January. So
I do not have to bid anjboJy gooi-bye
and wouldn't If I ceuld. My work lo the
campaign will preclude my wring for

committee column. But my every effort
will be to build up" The Alliance-Ik
dependent, as it will be to build up the
entire reform press; s it will be to
build up the new movement. .
Then let us all bid tho new manage

together that under Its control the pa

. .onie expression of the views and pur
poses of the new edjitor will be looked
for in this first-issue 'of your paper
under hii, itud, dear jfuVraaVa people,
and I shall gladly open my heart to you.
spfwering all, Questions I . fancy you
would like to ask. .
I believe, religiously, morally and
very definitsly, In the fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of man. I believe
the interest of each is the interest of all,
and that "An injury to ono is the con
cern of all." The rights of the wcakoit
and humblest are our rights, and they
must be searched out and defended by
tx, or all liberty is lost. Each man and
woman has an equal natural inheritance
i n and just claim to so much of the land,
sunshine, air, water, mineral stores anil
infinite working energies (chemical and
electric) as he needs for the develop
ment and use of all his powers, and the
most ample satisfaction of all his wants.
God's priceless, abundant gilts must not
be cornered, for purposes of oppression
and robbery. Society owes as mush
help to one individual as to another,
Monopolists are in a word all these,
king, despots','' robbers,, slaveowners,
and they must with such be classed . In
the degree that I love liberty I hate
monopoly. I hate it as the parent evil,
to which we have traced every sort of
temptation and, world-wide needs and
miseries indescribable. :., , , ; v'
To spread ths truth, moral, economic
aud political, the truth which shall make
men free, is tho great pressing need,
ajod Ms one thing I would do. ' I believe
t jim by nature and education fitted for
It; ; The editorial offloe is the only office
that attracts me. I have no political
ambitions for mjsclf, no desire to place
personal friends In office, no enemies In
the Independent ranks to fight. There
are enemies enough Outeldo to absorb
our whole attention. Lot ut all fight
them henceforth unitedly, the only wsy
In 'which we caa be. completely and
grandly victorious. We are not "of Paul,
or Apollo",; but disciples of Justice,
men who follow principles rather than
persons.'- -
We all recognize, do we not? that all
men have more wisdom than any one
man, and after . free discussion every
good independent will cheerfully sub
mit to the will and wisdom of the ma
jority.' One word more to each nni ovcry
friend of tho paper and our common
cause. The editor, business manager
and their assistants are faithfully yours,
and they start lo determined, as swiftly
at means will permit, to develop the
state organ into one of the best and
brightest papers ever printed. It will
cheer the hearts and strengthen the
hands of the new management greatly
It you will each send ia word that you
are with them, and at the same time
send tokens of earnest comradeship in
the fiM-m of one or more personally
secured annual subscript loos when it 1
posalbl to do It. Double our subscrip
ts Mtt la the next three month by
getting the paper into the hands of your
neighbor who need it, and from that
time for ward the sort of paper w shall

publicly endorsed this bankers' scheme
month ago and in. reply to a corres
pondent says: , -,. "J L.; J .

'jThe B'ate pank scbome or the money
mongers is, briefly, this, Have Congress
repeal(he), ten per cent,, t against

universal demand for more money with
bank paper notes, basyd on the people's
paper which they hold, bond, mort

on the land and its 'improvements. I he
more tho people borrow the more uesctr,

drain oj interest: will grow larger and
larger and the obligations lb jthejhy

The gall of tbc Shylock brood is mar
velous. If the people's bouds and mort

for credit currency for private bankers

Credit money can be printed, and when
deposits exceed demands the surplus
will be kept out of circulation. In this
wpy the dollar cannot fluctuate In value,

llOiEWATER'S WOEDS OF WAE5ING.
We reprint below aa Interesting ex
tract from Mr.-!.' Rose water's speech be
fore the Douglas county convention last
Saturday. A majority la the conven
tion, notwithstanding Uosewater'a fear
ful prophecy, favored Powell for judge.
The proceedings ioJav are a d U
grace," exolaimed Mr.. Rose water. 'I
know how much corporation agents
have been working. Dsfleyates bave
been taken up to the New York Life
building and given Considerations and
thlvgs w chatig-i voles aud violate it
sttuotions. If the republican party in
Nebraska turns uqwh tha venerable
ju'lgo who has tlio courage of bis con
victions, it will bJ a year heore buried
so deep that the trump of Gabriel ran
not resurrect it. : (Uisaes.) Idonotsay
tlat I will not support tho tickt t, but J
do appeal to you as men." .
' 1 wara the corporation agents that
it they ktep On wo shall hav a populist

governor's cbalr and a populUt Jegl-la-ture,
aad whero they have now to nay
t.l.OOO for killi.' a persm, it will tost
them $100,000."
Thero U no doubt but these remark
of Ho water's rontaln the blistering
truth. Hut the corporation agents
never teave the trail of their game b
cause they now aud then fall to run tt
down in conventions. Tho railroads
have their thumbs on every ofiico seek
ing politician and local voto dirt-dor In
the party, and the men wbo fancy Judge
Maxwell could be elected in the face f
the etcry where ramifying political In
fluence of the railroads, Is In his reckon
leg wild. The railroad power, seen at
work In the local conventions, will .di
vide the republicans badty in 1 every
polling pree'Kct If Maxwell is the can
didate.1 ' ' ''
Judge Holromb Is the only man that
caa be fleeted to the supreme bench Uf
caium he will be the only candidate who
will have the undivided support of hi
patty. He will also swell hie majority
with more anU-railroaJ-mle, outside

Usury is what monopolists forn ,,a
to pay for the use' of things, no matter
wnat, a sum in excess of the value we
borrow. - It is the tribute w now
kings for permission to labor. It re
verses the natural order, giving profits
to the shirkers, which are the
of the losses of the workers.

only admitted its purpose. It is "to
control the market aod increase profits.'
Controlling the market means no more
nor loss than highway, market-place '
robbery. The word profits, which has
such a pleasant sound, when the Idea
conveyed is that of net gains, invariably
means robbery, or virtual theft. :-
We dropped into Havens' yesterday
to see what coal would cost us this win
ter. Did we find the coal price weak
aad depressed, becauso of the panic?
Not much. . It was fly in j as high as
ever 110.40 a ton. Aud wo couldn't
bring it down by refusing to buy at that
figure. When we . informed the dealer
that the miners hsd just been beaten in
their strike and forced' to go back to
work at lower wages, and that what
ever cheapened wages should cheapen
coal, it made no difference.
Abolish usury and you will stop the
voluntary idleness of the rich, and the
involuntary Idleness and consequent
suffering of the poor. Furnish capital
or credit at cost, and dividends will no
longer be divided among the'non-pro-duccrs;
the producers will have all they
produce. Prohibit the holding of land
for speculative or uuury profits, and"
every family will ba free. These three
thincs, net profits monopoly prices and
rents in excess of usttfruct, when analy
zed are found to be, in principle, one
and the same. -' ' -
