A Petition from Nebraska.

On February 30 petition was present
ed in the United States Senate from "The
Nebraska State Farmers Alliance" ask
ing that the volume of money be increas-
ed. The petition says: 1.-THE present
economic coalition of the State of Me-
hraska and the country generally is ano-
malous, inasmuch as while the produc-
tion of wheat is unprecedented the con-
dition of the producers of wealth is not
improving, but is, on the contrary, retro
grading. While NO period has witnessed
greater aggregate increase of wealth
than the p st 20 years, at the same time
the farmers Of Nebraska are sinking deep
er and deeper in debt. 1t is becoming
rarer to find farms which are not mort
gagged, tenant farmers are rapidly increas-
ing and failures Of country merchants arc
becoming more numerous day by day. A
conservative estimate places the amount
Of farm mortgages in this State at $780,
100000 which, at per cent, takes $10,-
100000 annually out of the State. In sd-
di,ion there is corporate and municipal
indebtedness which is of appalling
magnitude, while the farmers of tie coun.
try are becoming involved in debt, the
artisans and labors are finding the condi-
tions OF life harder. On the other hand,
forced by the continually narro wing
margins of profit to reduce expenses and
secure safety for investments, msnufac-
turers and dealers are driven to combine
to accomplish these ends. and trusts which
seem pernicious and tyranical are formed. .
The petitioners think the remedy for this
state of things lies in an increase in the
volume OF currency.

Hard Times.

"Hard times. hard times :" is the uni
versal cry. Business is dsl and every
body is complaining. Farm produce is
low, while labor and everything required
on the farm is comparatively high. Fac
tory products are dull, because the coun-
try is glutted with goods and there is no
foreign market. while the 'home market y
which the protective tariff vas to pro-
vide, is overstocked. Mercantile affairs
are stagnant. merchants complaining
goods lie idle upon the shelves and coun-
ters, money is scarce among the masses
and collections are hard to be made. The
land is covered with mortgages, interest
unpaid, and foreclosures the order Of ths
day. More property is in the market thar
can find purchasers at remunerative prices
and real estate is changing hands at .
rate almost unknown hitherto. What II
to be result of this state of things7 l,
would seem that We are on the eve OF g
financial crisis such as was foretold by
Mr.. Cleve' and, in his message to Congress
more than year ago, but which no ade'
quate measures were taken to avert
Factories and business Arms are smash
ing, and the boom that was promised in
the triumph of Harrison and protection
is not realized, labor is no better paid, il
as we'll Look, for instance. at the collapse
of the Reading Iron Company, and the
Trenton Pottery, two of the best protect.
ed enterprises in the country, and many
others. These things furnish additional
evidence that the law of supply and de.
mand, and not the tariff, regulates bust
ness. What is to be donei Embarrassed
debtors turn everyway for relief, but none
is afforded. A sfay-law is talked of al
