THE DUTY OF THE ALUANCE. Prsident Loucks of the National Assoclation Outlines & Policy. PARANOUNT PRINCIPLES OF THE ORDER. slief to be Obtained by Concentrated Efforts of All Labor Organi= zations~Let the Third Party Fad Alone. Srrvenr Cneek, Neb,, July 10, tor of Te Be Ina letter o the Voice from Clear Lake, 8. D, under date of March 27, 1800, H. L. Loucks, president of the National farmers' alliance, speaking of the necessity of a *union of all labor organi- sations for the special purpose of legislation,” suys “Wirh a well-directed, of all labor organizations we slstiblo. To the Iarme concentrited effort would bo irre- duty then is to sccure such action at fest practicable date. Some orcaniz- st make a beginning in each stay ©1 would therefore urge that the pr of each state allinnce should corvespond with proper ofticers of all labor or otherorsani- ons in his state thatapprove of our plat- form of prineiple ws adopted at St. Louis for the purpose of calling a state convention to consider the hest means of sccuring the el tion of representatives in congress who w work for those principles as paramount to all othors, This re imendation of our uational presi- dentrecelved no notice from the powers that be 1n this stat mof it was made in 1 Nebraska will doubt- less now have heard of it for tho first tim As am; of fact, Prosidint Loucks don't appear to particular figuro with us. Dictator Bur, state sud you kuow it is a principle of philosophy that two bodies cannot oceupy the same space at the same time, Of course, o such conye tion was called by tho p mtof our stat ulliance. He preferred v to calla secret conferenco of county esidents and comity omganiers, presumably to advise together s to a course of political action Arepresentative assembly such as Presi- dent Loucks proposed—an assembly con- vened inaccordance with the true American fdea of self goveriment by the people, would not have answered the “purpose. Such an assombly could not_ have licen so casily con- trolled and might have done something not to the mind of the little political trinity that has its headguarters down at Lincoln. “Whoare these county organizers anyway ! Usually the mere personal nominees of the president of the state alliance. To call to- gether such men for such a purpose is about as though Congressman Dorscy should call together the postmasters of the Third con- grossic district to prepare a plan of campaign for the republicans of that district, The president of our state grangze did issue precisely sach a call as advised by Presi Loucks, butas our state oMcils eithor ig: nored it, or threw cold water upon it, of course nothing came of it It evidently ran contrary to the schemes of the Dictator, It would mot do_to have anything done in which his hand should uot ‘be the moving power. About this time, as appears from an oflcfal address to members of the allince signed by the president, secretary and chairman of the executive committee of the state alliance, the alliances of several counties had joined in o call for an alliance convention, This move- ment, was squelched on the ground that it was unconstitutional, and then Mr. Burrows im- mediately comes out with his ““declaration and petition” for a_people’s convention and this movement at once receives the endorse- ment of Prosident Powers, The fletion that this is not an allianceaffair 1sset up, while at the same time every effort is made to bring tho alliances solidly to its support. Now,so far as tho letter of our constitution is concirned, there is nothing to provent tho alllince fron pulting a ticket” in he field, for the only thing having any bear- ing on the subject s e provision that 1o political test o membership shall be per- mitted. But since it is the univorsal under- standing that the allimce is strictly non- portisan, neither the alliance nor members of it as such can properiy have anything to do with partisan politics, Therefore, when President Powers stood up in the union Jabqg convention in Lincoln and said that ho Tepresented between 60,000 and 70,000 peo- ple, and asked the convention to stand with s he violuted the spirit of our constitution. As president of the state alliunce he had no business there, Ho had no authority to spoak for us. Iustend of representing us he miseeprescated ut. Lot him attend to his own busiuess aud to the duties placed upon upon himi by the constitution, wlxh-r are fow and simple” As I H. Powers merely,ho may do andsuy what be plessos, It is none of our bismess. Aud so in the address — above referred to, all threo of our chief officers violate the spirit of our constitution, What. busiuess is it of theirs how wo vote! Let thern show us in our constitution or laws any warraut for that address. They canuot show one syllable. The address isa piece of usurpa- tion und gross impertinence. I would adviso them to attend strictly to_their oficial duties and ot undertake to set thewmselves up as our political censors or advisers, When' re- publican_and democratic members of tho allinuce want political counsel from prohi- bitionists and socialists, they will doubtless let them know, And this is ono trouble with the farmers’ allinnce from the top down, that party | hibitionists, men who had'no standing in their own " parties, socialists, cranks and fanatics of all huve been among the i one of the diffieul- ties that all new movements of this kind have 1o contend with. 1t is they who are making the mostof the racket in advance of the new oy who talk about the £. 0. p, and nce theold parties; they who are blos- out i e ounty ail over the state for'oftice und who are firmly persuaded that the salvation of the county depends on giviig thom the oflices and the control of all our municipal affai y who are the “pure_and honorable men, 1 presuue, that Mr. Burrows tells us about, theonly simon-pure patriots who wlone are to be wllowed any "plice on the people's ticket. O, whata lot of soreheads will there be when all theso ndependent. conventions shall hiye boeen held, aud it shall have boon found that there were not enough offices 10 2o one-tenth of the way around! It will be as if the sealping kuives of the Sioux Indiuns had swept the state. The level-headed farmers must sitdown on these fellows or they will sunly wreck our order, In the address above referred fo Mossrs, Powers, Thompson and Burrows, by virtue of their oMcial prestige, attempt to persuado or forceus, to & man, into their new party. Gentlemon, it will nit work. You were not elected for any such purpose. Ploase k your plices, You had no more right to as! the memben of the farmers alliance to sup- port this new party than you would have to ask thom togo en masse into the republican, the democratic or the probibition part But Mr. Burrows says you are not trying to form a new party. In commenting on the 1ate resolution of Alliance No, 811, he say: “We fully sgree with the above alliance that tho atteipt to form & uew party at this time would be unwise.” And agiin: “Now, if uds of SIl think we would propose a ¥ 08 & remedy, they are greatly mis- Aud still farther: “What we o is that the people, for the approach- | ng eloction, shali entivly shake off the shickles of party.” Now realiy, Mr, Bur. rows, don't you think that is very thini Aren’t you ashamed to talk to the intelligent Tanners of the state In that way! What is a party but a voluntary assoclation of yoters ucting through o system of committees, just precisely such s you are now industriously engaged in forming! Don't you know that any voter participating in your primaries and conventions entiroly cuts himself off from his former party associates, aud that a ropubli- wan, for Instance, so doing, would next year have 1o more vight to take part in & republi- € primary than would a democrat or i pro- Ribitionist! Of voarse you kuow it all ver well, and your cheek “should mantle with shame as you tlk such silly sophistry and at- Lmpi to parpeirate such transparent decep- tions. you imugine that the farmers ro- T you as Such & superior being, and that they themselves arosuch cousummate idiots s to swallow all your stuff ¢ Still further on Jou say: “Wesay now, rise above party and QT“IN‘.“ If thestale is purged the wtios will then be pure.” What sublime lent | | seeit. logic! Logie worthy of & Butler or a Mill! But what does it all amount to? Simply this and nothing more: That the old parties are 0 terribly corrupt that the state govern- ment which they now control s in a deplorable condition, and that if the “pure and honorable men™ in thoe old parti will_now come into this new party, take pos- sossion of the state and run it for a couple of yoars, then these old parties will be pure— the aforesaid “pure and honorable men™ still being out of course, Then, I takeit, you will be not only willing but glad to have these old partios again resume control and relieve you of the cares of goverment which you had so unwillingly assuzned. Thank you, gentlemen, from the bottom of my heart,” Perhaps there is some salvation for us poor republican devils yot. “ But, gentlemen, Messrs. Powers, Thomp- son and_Burrows, seriusly Jet mo entreat you on the bended knee not to take all the pure and honorabl n'? away from us just now. 1 had supposed that the third pirty protibitionists had alrendy bagged them all, and {f you now take what are left who shall be ab athorn the depths of cussedness to which w Il sink But, gentlemen, it {s Sonday, and 1 am tired writing, Lot us go now for a time and serve tho Lo SianrLes WoosTa. SONE PLAIN QUESTIONS. A Conservative Alliance Man on the Money Question. Nob., July 12.—To the Editor of Tur Ber: My conservative views which re- contly appeared in ‘Tne Bre meant noper. sonal attack on our Alliance editor. T war on an 3 havenone butkindly feelings tc 1s But 1 do on eror when I think I I have just asstrong views s some of thealliance loaders, and perhaps just as wise ones. 1 believe in getting the conservativ s bofore the farmers. 1f my own allianc paper won't print them I will go to a journ that will. And in 8o doing I am not deserting tho allisnce, nor antagonizng it. I yied to nobody in my claim of loyalty to the allinnce and true desire for tho prosperity of the farm- ers. 1 simply differ with the alliance orgur to the wisdom of some of the measures prr posed for the farmers' reliof. Where it thinks it sees green flelds and shady bowers, I think A upas trees. L propose to dive side presented. 1 am not going to be choked off by ~ditorial gag- law. As to who I8 right in this discussion the farmers shall judge. A fair field and no favors is all Task, He who loves his fellow men is a good man, He who toils for their good at much H"w‘ml expense is a philanthropist. The philanthro- pist is deserving of the respect and praiso of the world. But he who advocates schemes which can not be profitably carried out, and expatiates on the glorious end without care- fully considering how the end is to be at- taied, is a fanatic and extremist, bo hoa philanthropist or a skinflint. In all 'scrious- ness Lask those who are shouting for tho anford schemo how that thing can bo orofitably worked? Where is the money for Jucle Sam to losn? What taxes are going to vaiso it, if it shallbe silver! Whatsafety is there 'in greenbucks, if it shall be thatt The masses seom to think that becauso “‘Unele Sam is rich enough to give us all a m," that therefore Uncle Sam s rich enough to us all a loan. Unclo Sam used to have Lmmense tracts of land. Fle has not near somuch now and soon he will not have any. 1Is the United States treasury an inexhaustible gold mine! Can money come out exceptit first goin? “But the treasury uay be an inexhaustible greenback mine,” Yes, and such somo of our self-veckoned vhilanthropists would mike it it the uld. But may heaven deliver us from tieir be- nevolence, Save us from the folly of our “friends.” These lavelong been wanting to help the “‘dear peopl and now when the farmers rise under theiroppressions to throw off their burdens and they kick over party traces, these foolishly imagine thatit is a stampede for their greenback camp; that the farmers arve after a softer time and so of course they want softer money. The hullfrog (true inflitionist) has ope: his _arms to receive the ox andin Li: great joy he makes such a terrible din that e ox s not Reard. Butthe ox will not becomo frog. Heis alittlcconfused justnow by the new music, but soon he will recall that he heard the tunoonco before and that there is no _feed - in it and hewill step on Mr. Frog and try new pastures. Our benevolent “friends” tell us to take valueless paper to the United States mint and have our government, Xut its stamp upon it, “one dollar,” “ten dollars,” *one thousand dotlars,” and declare it “legal tender” and to be received for all dobts, public and private, yet never to be rodecmed, and presto, the valueless becomes valuable. Then is itnot plain that the government can buy paper very cheap and mint it for a small sum (to pay for the cost, seigniorage) and farnish each of us stacks of $100 bills, knock poverty into a cocked hat and make millionaives of usullt I once held $50,000 in my hand. Mightjust as well have hed 000000, Hi! Who would want Aladdin’s lamp? Break for the mint. Invest$10in seigniorage and become a money king. Why, we don't need to be poor! Newsboys can pelt each other with packs of money. Let the government make Iargo bills for the beggars, lesser ones for the poor and small ones for the rich and how easily we will oven up this i equality of wealth, Good-by _socialism. This will beat diviling up all hollow. No need of burdening the “dear people’ with ta the government can make money per- haps cheaper than colleet. it for the pay of its employes, for interestand to redeem ~bonds, Farewell, Mr. Georgze; no use for the single tax. Goto Burope, Father MeGloun, with that slow anti-poverty scheme. So long, Mr. Bellamy; seo you later. Farewell hardship and suffering. * Life will be ono grand, holi- day. Just enongh work done to keep men out of mischief.” No more slaving. We will aillive like lords, Furrah for the free coinage of greenbacks! All hail greenback money! The great fnancial and social panacea ! Does any one say that Senator Stanford's is not a groeaback schem It preposes to lend money to farmers: toall the needy ones, and in sufilicient quantity to materially help them. So the farmers understand it, and therefore they favorit. If not so, it is a demagonge trap, The relief must come at once; ull must have itat the same time, or will lose thelr homes, How much will be needed? From $525,000,000 to 000,000, Flow can our governinent sud- mise so vast an amount! The ans is grecnbacks . N. H. Bracky Secretary Peoria Alliance, Prori, the conser The Jeff rson County Alliance.

Allthe seats and the stamps anl grass ho- neathandabout the hut were oceupied last night when Mr. Beauchamp mounted the mstrum. As stated above, Mr. Beauchamp is a fairly interesting speaker, and thero were but two times lust nightthathe bo- cametiresome, The fivst was when he un- dertook to ke people believethat prohi- bition prolibits by simply vailing at the sa- lonkeeper and introducing no facts, and the other was when he undertook to be fumy. But he told some good storics, and these little failings might be overlokel. A portion of the erowd scemed to really enjoyit. Outside of these two de- rtures therewas much real good to be ound Mr. Beauchamp’s addr My, Bewchamp is @ tall, slender, young man witha blick moustache and a pleasant voiee. Hois an educated man and chooses his linguage well. Hesays that he is a re- formed newspaper mport Hotoldthestoryof Ray Boyl, the eom- geossmau's son, who wis handsome and ae- comylished, but dissipated. A beautiful girl marrid him aginst her mother's advice and in three months found herself deserted by her husband and com- mitted suicide. One aay while he wais walk- ing alongthe streets in San Francsco he passed amagiificont girl, A minuto later & young man with marks of dissipation on his faceturned the comeraud met the girl fice to face. There was a pistolshotand he drop- »d dead at her hands., She then shot her- alf, "Twenty minutes later she opened her lips in & hospital ad whispered, “Dow’t tell mother,” and died. Oh, that she had told mother in time. If he had the writing of a motto for all givls, it would consistof but three wonds, “Always toll mother.”’ Mother may a back num- ber. She may notbe able 1o play progressive euchre, but she can always tell i bad man as s001 as she sees one. Mr. Beauchanp then told the girls thatthey should all take the vow that the lips that touched the bottle should nevertouch theirs and gave them a whole Lot of other good ady Then the speaker got sidetracleed on the question of prohibition, There are oly two classes of people, hesaid, who would assert that prohibition would not prohibit. Thelirst of these were the salonlcecpers, the brewers and distillers, and as they were all liars, and in bis opiniol, were already consigned to oyer- lasting damnation, they didn't count. The other cass was composed of tho dudes, tho young felows who parted their hair in the middie. At this the young man who sat in the Republican’s ohair and whose hair was divided plimb cen- ter, looked up and blushed. These were the only people, the speaker suid, who wAuld say that peohibition would not prohibit. He then indulgzed in somevery poor humor, but it pleased some of the ermwd and they ap- vlided, awakening a little dog that had been sleping under achair, and heemitted a few barks and tok to tho wools, At the conclusion of all this he had the grace v acknowledge that such talk was not argument, but the othe de had notpro- duced an zuments either. It was evide, that Mr, Beauchamp hadnot e report of the Beatrice debite If there should be a pwhibition law they would expect it to be brken as the laws against marder and theft aro broken, buthe wouldinsist that where prohi- bition tad been givena fair tral ithad dono more for the rood of man thananything cls He knew itwas a successin Hopiios count, Kus., inyway.
