Am American Baron Speak a.
Editor alliance-Ixdependent:
The right honorable J. Sterling: Mor
ton, by grace of Grover the First, Sec
retary of Agriculture, addressed the
World's fair commissioners In Chicago
on the 13 h of October, and in the course
of his remarks he spoke of the Farmers
Alliance, and other educational orga
nizations of farmers, ia terms of con
"emnation snd contempt. He said:
"These organizations as a rule, have
attended to every other thing except
agriculture. They hive Instructed the
people as to how banks ought to be or
ganized and how railroads ought to be
managed. They have even gone bo far
a to prescribe method ot coinage for
ue Uenerai Government."
In thn opinion of this American
Baron, the farmers should stick to the
plow and let tbelr masters run the gov
eminent, and for the farmers to discuss
political questions is to go outside their
sphere. They should leave political
economy to the subsidized college pro
fessors, banking to the bankers, snd
politics to the professional politicians,
of which he is a fair sample.
Who and what is this pompous fellow
who assumes to criticise the farmers for
rganizlng schools of political economy
for the purpose of fitting themselves
for the duties of American citizenship?
He is a professional politician, office
seeker, stock gambler, etc. When,
some years ago, the bonds of the District
f Columbia, issued under the Boss
Shepherd regime, were selling for at
most nothing, J. Sterling Morton
ought large blocks of tuem. He then
helped lobby a bill through congress,
which made the United States govern
sent responsible for those bonds, which
at once brought them to par, and great
ly Increased J. Sterling Morton's
wealth. With such dishonestly got
money he has lived as a luxurious snob
ever since. With money got in simi
lar schemes he bought the farms he
whs in Nebraska, which, if worked at
all, the work is done by hired men, or
tenant farmers, both of whom he hold
in as much contempt, as the barons of
England hold their serfs.
It is an Insult to American farmers,
and an outrage upon American institu
tion that tuch a man should be put at
the head of the department of Agricul
ture. T. A. Bland.

TOO MUCH WHEAT.
Helen Huat Jackaaa la The Independent.)
"Too much wheat:" So the dealers say.
Millions of bushels left nnaold.
Of Ukt year's crop; and now, today.
Ripe and hearv and yellow as gold.
This summer's crop coasts full and (air;
And murmurs, not lhaaks, are In the air.
And storehouse doora are locked to wait.
And men are plotting early and lata.
"What shall aava the farmer from loss
It wheat too plenty makes wheat a dross f"
"Too much wheat!" Good God, what a word!
A blasphemy In our borders heard.
"Too much wheat!' And our heart were
stirred
But yesterday, and our checks like Came,
For vengeance the Lord his loins doth gird
When a nation reads such a tale of shame.
Hundreds of men lie dy lug, dead.
Brothers of ours, though their skins are red;
Men we prorata d to teach aiid feed.
Ob, tar d nation! dastard deed!
They starve like beasts la pen and told)
a bile we board wheat to sell for gold.
"Too much wheat!" Men's Urea are dross?
"How shall the farmers be saved from lossr
"Too much wheat!" Do figures ileal
what wondrous yields I Put the ledgers byf
"Too much whsatl"
Oh, summer rain,
And sun, and sky, and wind from West,
Fall not, nor shine, nor blow again!
Let fields be desei ts, famine guest
within our gates who board for gold
Millions of bushels of wheat unsold,
With men and women and children dead
And dally dying fer lack of bread !
"Too much wheat!" Good God, what a word!
A blasphemy In our borders beard.

Professor A. It. Wightman.
Prof. A. R, Wightman,. candidate for
Superintendent of Public Instructions
on the People's Independent ticket is
one of the foremost educators In the
West, a man whose candidacy is strong
ly endorsed by such men as Chief
Jnstice Samuel Maxwell, and by Dr.
Huntington, Supt. Bowers and Profs.
Lowe and Ellenwood of Lincoln.
Professor Wightman, was born in
Allegheny county, N. Y., April 1, 1831.
His boyhood days were spent upon his
father s farm. At the age of eighteen
he entered Alfred University, at that
lime the prominent educational center

tion he completed the academic course,
and then going to Union College
graduated in the classical course in
1857. Soon after he received the de
gree of Master of Arts, in cursu, from
the same institution.
Professor Wightman has devoted the
best energies of his life to the cause of
education. For several years he was
principal of a high school in Tioga
county, Pa., which position he relin
quished to accept the chair of Natural
Sciences in Alfred University, The
chair of Latin was made vacant by the
death of the president of that institu
tion and Profo sor WIgntinan was
I, elected to fill the vacancy. On account
of falling health he resigned that posi
tion and came to Nebraska in 1875,

York. In 1875 he was elected to the
chair of Ltln In York College, later

Organization of a
There have been
Lincoln for years past, and in re-1
spouse to an appeal by Dr, H. S Aley

corner of 13th and P streets, Sunday
afternoons at 3 o'clock, until further

speakers in the club, and most interest
ing discussions msy be expected.
THINGS WORTH REPRINTING.!
Senator Alien is wielding a strong in-
fluence in congress. His speech in favor
of free silver Is largely a legal argu
ment, aiming to show that all ati-free
coinage legislation is unconstitu
tional and void. The speech is in great
demand by the lgal lights of the
country, Thero is now a case pending
before the supreme court to test the
constitutional right of any one to take
silver bricks to tte mint and have them
coined. Cedar Rapids Republican.
The circulars sent out by the New
York bankers recommending that
"pressure ba broughtto bear upon sena
tors opposing the conspiracy to do-
monetize silver, are having a eood
effect in opening the eyes of tie people
as to the real source of all this v Uainy.
The notice served on Kansas and North
Carolina farmers that loans would be
aeniea tnem, is a part ot this "pres
sure." ''Lay on, McDuff, and damned
