simply one OF the military surprises in
augurated by the emperor to test the eff

tack by an enemy. The troops proceeded

EDITOR ADVOCATE: DR.. G. Bohrer,
county lecturer, and Van B. Prather assis-
tant state lecturer, addressed meeting
at this place today A cold northeast
rain was falling, yet people came miles
through the storm to hear the aims and
objects Of the Alliance discussed The
causes Of the present depressed condi-
tion OF the agricultural interests were
stated in clear and forclble manner.
The need Of unity of action regardless Of
former political affiliations was clearly
felt and seen; and from the earnest ex-
preston upon the faces OF the people IL
will be necessary for our public men 10
study something more than sentimental
politics II they expect TO fiji public po-
sltions longer The people are in need
OF relief from the determinations shown
to certain privileged classes. They have
seen their interests steadily going from
bad TO worse, and no hope Of better
things can be had while certain interests
are preferred above that Of the farmer
and laboring man. Itseems that the best
way to obtain the objects necessary for
the benefit Of the masses is for them TO
step out from the accustomed path, we'll
strewn with broken promises, and see to
tho matter for themselves
Party differences have kept us apart
too long, farmers and workingmen. Poll
ticians have used our prejudices as a
means Of preferment From now on let
o common interest influence our action
Come out, let us meet on common ground
and in time public offices will be man
lged in the interest Of all the people,

gone down In price In direct proper
tion as the currency Of the country was
contracted.
This alone, 10 any one who will think
for himself, Is evidence enough TO con-
vince one that the greatest evil is want OF
money But not the only one. Monopo
ly must have its just reward eternal
banlshment. Nor are these two the only
troubles. Tariff comes in for los share OF
the blame
And now for the pensioners: Let the
government pay them In legal tender,
which will amount TO S12O,OOO,0OO this
year. That will stop the collecting Of
Sl9O,0OO0OO yearly and 80 will increase
our circulation S240,OOO,OOO each year.
During the war the government paid
the soldiers in greenbacls, (and never
made them equal to gold; then why are
they not good enough to pay them now
when they are as good as gold? / have
asked a number Of old soldiers II they
would not take them as readily as before
and all say yes. 30 there will be no OBJ
lection on their part. Now, where does
the blame rest. Is there a member Of
congress for Kansas who has ever intro
duced a bill for the relief Of the people?
Who are they there TO serve? Surely they
were sent by the people Of Kansas; and
for what purposeY One Of our delegation
Is notable for the concern he has for the
affairs Of other states, and IL no will turn
his attention partly toward home, | be-
lieve he will find room for several bills
that will somewhat smooth his pathway
TO his political grave.
Now, brothers Of the alliance, what we
each need is TO strive to send men to
make laws for the people. We want less
law and more equality. BY this | mean
to strike out all laws that have bred
trusts and combines, and
then we shall not need 80 much TO gov
ern the people. What say the sixty-fve
million people, not the eight thousand

Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
No. 2O32, Of Haskell county, Kansas, at
lbs regular meeting Monday evening,
April 21, discussed the sub-treasury ques-
ton at some length, and came TO the fol-
lowing conclusions:
First That the carrying out Of the
provisions Of the sub-treasury law would
not create an inordinate increase OF the
currency, as we are consumers as well as
producers, and while one class would be
depositing their products in the sub
treasury and receiving the 80 per cent
advance therefor, another class would be
purchasing this product and returning
this 80 per cent TO the government
Second That laying all other consd-
erations aside, public warehouses, with
improved methods Of handling, storage
and protection, are to be preferred TO the
imperfect affairs farmers are ableto build
upon their own promises.
Third-That the cost TO the people OF
public warehouses would be less than the
cost Of private granaries.
Fourth--That the government would
not follow the speculators' practice Of
grading wheat down when he buys 1t
and up when he sells il.
Fifth-That the bulk Of the agricul-
tural staples are bought up soon after
they are ready for the market and stored
somewhere, and it is just as feasible for
the government to provide these storage
places as II is for private capital to do it.
Sixth-That 80 per cent upon the value
Of our crops would come mighty handy
to pay taxes and store bills with, and to
get the children ready for school
Seventh--That the sub-treasury plan
affords a splendid medium for getting
money into the hands Of the people with
out the interposition Of the national
banks.
Eighth That it is as fair to afford stor-
age for the agricultursts as it is to afford
storage for whisky manufacturers, and
for foreigners who store their goods in
our custom houses and keep them there
until they are ready to take them out
again; and
Ninth--That it would be a bad thing to
extend the sub-treasury provisions so as
to let in the manufacturers.
Tenth-That we are heartily in favor
of the sub-treasury system.
Eleventh That the secretary Of the
alliance be instructed to transmit copies
Of our views as herein contained to the
Haskell county papers, THE ADVOCATE
and the Kansas Farmer.
Twelfth That in obedience to the in
from our state lecturer, A. Il. |
Dickinson, report Of our action upon
this question be sent to w. II. Markham,

EDITOR ADvocATE:-After reading and
studying the warehouse bill, l believe it
TO be one of the best methods for the re-
lief Of agriculture that can be put before
the people. But there should be an
amendment to the bill. 1t should be so
amended that all moneys used for the
construction Of warehouses should be
issued full legal tender. The great cry
is, how will you get the money among
the people? If the government should
issue 1t, this would solve 80 much Of the
problem and the money would go direct
to the laboring class.
l would have superintendent elected
for each county, and the work all done

In 1865 the farmers were at the top Of

man had work, or could find plenty 70 do.
