TO OUR rEIE5D3 A5D PATROJ J-
It will be notirad by r ferring to the
sub ht 4 on this page that the name
AlH-nce Pub. Co , does not appear
Its disappearance this week indicates
change of ownership of the paper, but
no change of Us character, purpose
object-, Holther is there to be an?
cbasge of editor, buslnesa manager
other members of the working force.
The paper snd plant hare simply been
bought by the men who have been
making the paper what It is, what
has been for mon'hs past. Every maa
working on the paper editor, but Ines
manager, advertising manager, and the
rest is and is to be part owner of it
Mre capital, wbkb the calamity makers,
non-collectable bills and slow pay
caused by the distressingly hard times
mode necessary, they have provided
The change of ownership means new
and larger life, and assured perpotui'j
of existence in the hands of men who
have in months of acceptable work won
the confidence of the people. Look
ing over all the letters which come in
w"e have most satlsfactery evidence that
the paper is held in excellent reputation
by the Populists and Alliance men of
the Slate, and by not a few outside th
state. ' We expect to ao on making the
paper better as means permit, and in
tend to build up a chculatlon which
shall reach into every State in the
Union. The paper will contlnae to be
the State organ of the Farmers Alllanoe
and the Independent party, hut it will
be more.
We wlh to reach the people of the
cities, as well as the farming class, and
to do this it seems neces ary that we
re-christen the paper, giving itaname
wh'cb has more breadth, which at least
does not immediately Impress people
with the false idea that we speak for
but one claw of workers. The long,
hyphenated name, Alluncb-Inde-PENDekt,
is also a typographical and
chlrographlcal burden. The name will
be soon (banged, probably the second
issue after this. None has yet been
decided on, ar d if any of our subscribers
have a name or names to suggest we
shall be glad to hear from them by
postal card or letter,
We l ave not bought the paper for the
speculation or m'ney gain that we could
see in it With certain bard tlms for
months to come it will be no light load to
carry, but our love for the great cause
of iudustrihl liberty and justice and the
belief that we have been led here to do
ust this work, makes us faca the future
confidently. With grateful feel Dgs for
the numerous watm expressions of
commendation which are week by week
coming in to us we are, till the war i
over, and truth has triumphed, faith

When the PopulUts assert that as a

ously robbed by the money power, a

Here is a frank acknowledgment tbat
Is very refreshing. And it is so palpa
bly true. Now is it not manifestly un
wise for tin frruert of Nebraska, whose
lotertstsare identical, to divide over
this uc solvable tariff question, a ques
tion which is bo abstruse and complica
ted, a question of results which are
affected by to many uncertain factors
tbat the good or the evil of a tariff can
not be to the popular understanding
demonstrated and settled' The Whig
and th" Democrats nevur settled it; the
McKlnley bill did not settle it; the Wil
son bill will not sot'.le it. And because
the over whel ming evil or overmastering
gosd of a tariff cannot be shown, is
proof that the tariff it not a consequen
tial matter.
Now thera are other questions which
all can grasp, weigh and messure. Th
railroad monopoly is an enormous rob
ber power. The money monopoly Is
sucking th very life out of us. Th
an 1 monopoly has already reduce
millions to serfdom, and It Is steadily
aklog from u i the bast of our liberties.
There are great, vital, ptjalcg ques-
lons which we ran uolte oa. Let as

THE GREAT E0UIAL PROBLEM.
Wo cannot live wholly to oursles as
individuals. It is not possible for each
by his own exertion to provide f r him
self and his family food, clothing, edu
cation, fchelter, at.d the wbrjwlth to
gratify all legitimate desires. We wore
net endowed as individuals with th
universal talents atd capabilities to live
without help from one another; but
were made to woi k for one another, to
supply each other's wants. And the
argtr the circle of Individuals serving
one another, the greater aud more vari
ed rn'iy bo the erjoymeots of each.
Etch has his natural place and work,
that which he is by nature best fitted
to do. But there can be no separate,
antagonistic individual interests. The
highest, the real, Interest of each and
all is an equal, indivisible, uniting In
terest.
But individualism, the supposed wis
dom or necessity of being individua'ly
soil-centered, selfish, In interests sepa
rate, has in all ages been reckoned the
supreme wisdom, and is today accepted
as such by men in all their business re
lations, by the church as well as by th
world, notwithstanding the fact that
every eyil which ha ever afll.cUd nan-
kind has been caused by it.
The rich ar morally, mentally and
spiritually impoverished by being self-
centered, as well as the poor, lie who
lives without labor, upon the labor f
others, cannot bs loved by those who
are compelled to sweat for his support
atd enrichment. Be who would ia
contract and exchange gain more labor
product, mor wealth tban he produces
aad gives, is an enemy to all ho deals
1th. But Is aotlhat what all seem
trying to do? Is It not a fact that ther
is no love aud tbt It is all selfishness

The political part of the question is
simply voting for our common Interest
ignorance alone separates us at the
alio: box. Uniting our economic wit
dom must unit our political ttreatb,
our voting strength. And It Is as neces
sary to outlaw and displace selfinh

business and the transportation busi

"The Populist wedge" in Congress is
forcing some daylight upon tbe transac
tions between Cleveland, Carlisle snd
Wall Street. P ff -r's Senate resolution
calling for the names and addresses of
the bond purchasers, could not be de
feated by Sherman, though the resolu
tion disturbed bim greatly. The
speeches of Peffer, Allen and Stewart in
i t favor are exceedingly interesting
reading, and show abundant cause why
tne people should know who are schem
ing with Carlisle to bond them more.
Ihes three Senators are untiringly

THE UTOPIA WE ABE AFTER.
'"To give Bteadv and nm nnHllM
employment to every laborer in thle
oroao iara, would be to reallz the
beatitudes of Sir Thoma More'. Utopia
hero in Noah America." Hon rhamn.
Clark, M. C.
Well, wbat is the reason the men who
are willing to work may not have
"steady and remunerative employment
ia this broad land?" There is no lack
of room: there is no lack of natural re
sources: and human labor and natural
resources can create all labor-economla-
ng cspital, all capital tbat can bs used.
It fs not lack of land which keeps men
idle, for the land is much of it unused.
It is not lack 1 1 capital tbat 1 at fault,
for a large part of tbe capital of the
country is unemployed. With as much
laud as labor ne ds there is no natural
cause or reason why steady work and
wea'th to gratify every want may not
be bad.
The honorable congressman from
Missouri thinks tho Utopia' of perma
nent remunerative employment impos
sible, but believes knocking down the
tariff wall will help some. Does free
trade England, to whom the whole
earth pays tribute, keep her citizena
employed continuously, or more than
are the workers In America? Dj they
receive any greater reward for their
labor? Is it tariff, h gh or low, which
has caused the twelve periods of busi
ness paralysis of this century? What is
the cause ot these regularly recurring;
mtrket gluts and stopping of th wheel
of industry? Not the tariff, we can
prove.
Given twelve million men pouring
goods into tbe mat ket for money, what
is thereas' n they cannot buy out all
they turn in, at d so keep their demand
equal to their supply, the demand of
each upon tbe market equal to the
market value of his product, and his
product! qual to his legitimate desire
which lead him to work for their grati
fication? The reasm is that te people as pro
ducers atd public servants, all who
create wealth by manual and mental
toil, are paid much leas for their entire
product tban they must pay for the
same product a c msumers. If 12,000,
000 people with th money paid thesa
for their good or services can only buy
bark nine tenth of their yearly p oduct
wi'h tha money ihey receive for it,
once in each decade the market will be
full and the money in the hat d of those
wtnbavaaot earned it. Tbat 1 the
simple, easily understood si'uatlon. If
thoo wbo draw off the money, in the
form of Interest, rent and net profita,
should chooje to spend it all In th
ma kot each year, the market would be
emptod and tbe working cUts woukl be
kepi employed alt the lmo. But the
laud, capital and money monaimllaU
chotMo rather to aooumu'ae wealth,
dr.wtnglt ff In the form ol money,
which they either loan, or u to buy up
more and m -rjof the most nmdtd land
ai4 capita'; and so, accumulating In-
