ALLIANCE COLUMN
Submitted by a subscriber.
The Portland Oregoman says the "nl
lianoe oranks" and "free silver knaves'
are all wrong, in fact criminal, in their
demands regarding fiuanoial legislation;
that there is plenty of money for those
who are willing to work for it; in short,
tbat laziness and improvidence prompt
their "oalamity howling." How is that
anyhow, farmers of Morrow county? Are
you willing to work? Do you work? Is
it the usual tiling to reoeive a fair price
for your wheat, for which the consumer
pays a high price? Who gets the differ
ence? How is it with the 1500 women in
Boston who are earning less than 25
oenta a day? How is it that the 150,000
women in New York City who are earn
ing less than GO cents a duy? It is "ca
lamity howling," isn't it, to try to better
a financial system nnder which the aver
age annual amount earned by working-
men in our large Eastern cities is from
878 to $182, or $150 to $3 per wee
with which to provide themselves aud
their families with food, shelter and
clothing? At the same time liookfeller
has an income of $28 per minute; Jay
Gould, $15 a minute; Wm. Waldorf As-
tor, $20 a ninute. A financial sytitem is
all right that helps those already rich to
pile up more millions and prevents those
that are poor from obtaining work to do
or a reasonable remuneration for their
work. Certainly. The system is all
right, but the people are lazy and im
provident!
The demands of the people's party are
eminently necessary. They are connti
tutional and perfectly practical, arid
enacted into laws will destroy the poier
of money to oppress the common people
Money is scaroe, and source money
means bard times and idle people; but
an abundant circulating medium means
good times and employment for all at
fair wages.
The constitution of the United States
delegates to oongress the exclusive pow
er to ooin money and regulate the value
thereof, and this right carries with it the
moral and legal duty on the pnit of oon
gress to issue sufficient money to do the
business of the country upon a conserv
ative cash basis.
The old party leaders would cough
down the money question, but it will
not down. The people are now aware
that there is not suffioient money in cir
culation and that they are at the meroy
of the money sharks.
In a speech delivered in Bostou on the
19th of last month Senator Dolph, the
mouthpieoe of the goldbnsra and bank
ers, undertook to show how unwise a
free coinage measure would be. The re
port of his speech takes fonr columns
and a half of nonpareil type and the
main Btring to his harp was the badly fray
ed one of intrinsic value; but the wily sen
ator in his over-done efforts to deceive
his hearers with sophistry and to bewil
der them with a wilderness of words got
himself mixed up and all unwittingly de
molished his work with one breath by
saying: "The silver coins in the coun
tries of Europe having a gold and silver
standard are maintained in dnmestio cir
culation side by side with gold ooins of
a greater intrinsio value, first and princi
pally by the fact that they are a full le
gal tender in the respective oountries is
suing them, in payment of debts and ob
ligations of all kinds."

Who says Lone Book is not prosper

B. M. Johnson, our genial candidate
for sheriff, is putting io his share of the

hereabouts.
The work on the Henpner-Lone Book
road is progressing nicely in Buttermilk
canyon, and all hands -are preparing to
haul their wool via the same. This
means many dollars added to the coffers
of Heppner business men. Although
the road is greatly improved, there
should be a few dollars more raised to
complete the work to the entire satisfac

from the Swedish of J. L. Runehcrg, translated
by A. J.
Our native land, our fatherland,
Sound loud, O, dearest word!
Not tow'rs a height toward heaven's verse,
Not sinks a vale, nor's wnsh'd a strand,
More loved than this our father's earth,
Our country in the north.
Our land is poor, will thus remain
To him that gold doth seek ;
A Btranger proud us passes by,
But this our laud, ne'er loved in vain,
To us with downs and alps and rocks,
A gold laud ever looks.
We love our rivers' mighty roar,
Tho joyfull leaping of our brooks,
The moaning of our forest dark,
Our starry night, our light, our Bhore;
Yea, all what here, as sight or song,
Once sttrr'd our heart or tonguo.
Our fathers here their battles fought
With thought, with sword, aud plow;
Here, here, in bright as cloudy times,
With lortnnes good or bad, methought,
The heart of Finland's folk did beat;
Here dwelt true Patience sweet.
We counted, then, these battles fought;
Our people fought so brave;
When war did roar from vale to vale,
And frost the pangs of hunger brought;
Who measur'd all its oft spill'd blood,
And all Its patience view'd?
And here it was the blood did flow,
Yes, here for ub it was;
And here it was that joy it shared,
And here the sigh it preBs'd also,
The people that our burdens bore,
Long ere our days yet were.
'Tis pleasant hero, 'tis well to live,
All is us here beBtow'd ;
How'er our dice yet may be cast,
A land, tiaficrfa?id we have;
And now, indeed, what is more wortli
To prize and love on earth
And here aud here is now this land,
Our eye discerns it here;
We can at will stretch forth our hand,
And gladly point to sea and strand,
Anil Baying: "Now, behold this land,
It is our fatherland!"
And if to dwell midst fame we're led,
'Mongst golden clouds in blue;
And were our life a starry dance,
Where sigh were not, nor tear were shed ;
To this our land, tho' poor, yet free,
Our longing still would be. -
O, land of thousand lakes, thou land,
Where Song and Trust have dwelt,
Where life's vast sea us gave a shore;
Our ancient land, our future land,
Let not thy poverty dismay,
Feel free, secure, and gay !
Thy blooming, yet in hud enclos'd,
Shall from constraint grow free.
Behold ! Out of our love shall rise
Thy light, thy fame, thy Joy, all hoped ;
And louder once shall sound the song,
Our patriotic song.

There has been a very severe winter

ly lucrative. From the Fairo islands
great storms are reported.-
The antiquated and unjust privilege of
rich landowners of entailed estates of
nominating the incumbents of the paro-
ohial churches has just received a glar
ing illustration in the upper house of the
Swedish Riksdag. Count Roul Hamil
tonhimself Biioh a just patronatus
drew the attention of the chamber to the
incongruity of him, being a professed
Roman Cathoho, to nominate the rector
of a protestant ohurch of the established
Lutheran oreed of Sweden. However
conscientious the nominator may be, still
the inoongruity of the antiquated law Is
flagrant, for often a free thinker is called
upon to exercise the same irrational au
thority conferred upon the titled land
owners. We must compliment Couut
Hamilton upon bia consoieutions and
manly unselfish oouduot. Noblesse
oblige.

My dear old"Honp" they have left you out,
The reason why, 1 can't find out.
Ah! dear old "Hepp," we love you dear,
For you are our old pioneer.
There is Joo Williams who once bo merry,
His cheeks were red as a blooming cherry ;
He is a man by nature mild,
But then he has no wife or child.
Then there is another they call Colorow,
All he thinks of is a steer or cow;
School taxeB he thinks aro unjust
"ray it I will, because I must."
There is Tom Ayers you have put in,
Why, you rank him with theBC older men ;
Youthful Tom, you must not worry
About gelling married; don't bo lu a hurry.
Ah! dear old batches, how sad your state;
Alis, how I do mourn for your fate.
Then we must learn not to despise,
For they get foolish instead of wise.

there is no supervisor iu- that distriot,

there Beems to be none left but ''Old

it up, old boy, early and late the writ
iug, I mean. With pleasure I read your
newsy letters. You say in your last
communication that our etock inspector
had been in our neighborhood perform
ing his duty. Now if you know some
thing about this stock inspector's busi
ness, I'd like to have you give us eonio
information. 1. Is it his duty to in
spect all stock, or only sheep? 2. Who
pays his salary? 3. What are his fees,
if any, for examining horses?
And now, Mr. Editor, would you
pleaoe answer a question? A man in
this neighborhood was out rolling some
land the other day, wheu his horses be
oame unmanageable and broke away.
They rolled hills, ouuyons and wire
fences very lust, but soon the squeaking
roller becamo uumnungeable and broke
away from the horses. Now the rolling
commenced. The roller rolled and roll
ed straight dowu a branch of Eight
Mile, heading for the Columbia, till it
came to the mouth of the brnuoh, whero
it fell orosewiiys in a big man's well.
Everything goes oroaswaya here. ''My
luck," said the big man, "surely there
must be water iu that well, when it
oould draw an old, dry roller six miles."
But here is the question: To whom does
the water, if found, belong; to the owner
of the well, the owner of the roller or to
the owuer of the land? Give it up. Eu.

Ed. Gazette; In answer to the scale
blook, or the "mare's nest," as the Ga
zette man calls it, now Mr . Good Editor,
when you f nd all the facts in the case,
you will see you are getting right in the
tracks of your good neighbors. The caae
is like this: Sometime ago my atten
tion was called to the block spoken of.
I went to look at it and thought, like a
dozen others, that it would make a dif
ference iu weighing heavy draughts.
Before I made up my mind about it I
asked Sam Kinsman to test the scales.
He "flew oil the handle," and refused to
do so unless I would bet him $5110 that
they were not right, which I could not
do, as it would have been too much like
one of Sam's sure bets. Bo all I have to
say t Mr. Kinsman, is to keep his scales
lookiug right, and dou't let a car ( f stock
weigh more in Troutdale, ufter being ou
tho cars twenty-four bonis, than they do
on hia scales in Ueppuer, nnd then he
won't have so much trouble.
And hereafter Mr. Editor, ask both
Bides of a story before putting in any
''mare's nosts," or Hocusing any one of
criminating others, without knowing it
yourself. John D. Hi'liAY.
