OCALA, Fl0., Dec. S.-Tho N8tlOnal
| Farmers Alliance assembled again this
morning at $50. After routine work and a
few speeches giving newspaper cores
pondents a drubbing because they have Sc
cured information beyond that given out
by the press committee, the financial
policy of the order came up for discussion,
| under the report of the committee on legis-
! lation. This report, az to the financial
| policy, contained the Following amended
demands:
First. We demand the abolition Of
| national banks; we demand that the gov
eminent shall establish sub-treasuries OF
| repositories in the several states which shall
loan money direct to the people at a low rate
of interest, not to exceed per cent. per
annum, on non-perishable farm products,
and also upon real estate, with proper
limitations upon the quantity of land and
| the amount of money. We demand that
the amount of circulating medium be
| speedily increased to not less than $50 per
capita.
Second. We demand that congress shall
pass such laws as shall e%ffectually prevent
the dealing in futures on all agricultural and
mechanical productions, preserving q
stringent system of procedure in trials
such as shall secure the prompt conviction
of offenders, and the imposition of such
penalties as shall secure the most pefect
compliance with the law.
Third. We condemn the silver bill re-
Gently passed by congress and demand in
lion fhoro0f fPpo and m COINAGE 0f
silver.
Fourth. We demand the passage of laws
prohibiting alien ownership of land, and
that congress take prompt action to devise
some plan to obtain all lands now owned
by aliens and foreign syndicates and that
\ corporations is excess of such as is actually
| used and needed by them, be reclaimed by
| the government and held for actual set
tiers only.
Fifth. Believing in the doctrine of equal
| rights to all and special privileges to none,
shall be so framed in he future as not to
build up one industry at the expense Of an
other, and we further demand the
removal of the existing heavy
tariff tax from the necessaries of life
that the poor of our land must have. We
further demand a just and equitable sys-
TEN of graduated tax on incomes. We be-
lieve that the money of the country should
be kept as much as possible in the hands
of the people, and hence we demand that
oil national and state revenues shall be
limited to the necessary expenses of the
government, economically and honestly
administered.
Sixth. We demand most rigid, honest
and Just state and national governmental
control and supervision of means of public
communication and transportation, and if
this control and supervision does not re.
move the abuses los existing, we demand
Communication and transportation. Spirit.
ed debate followed the introduction of

thing about it was that it mad given him
the privilege of being present at the formal

Mexico into the United States have recently
been burdened with circulars of Mexican
lotteries, enclosed in sealed envelopes, the
corners of which were clipped and postage
paid thereon at the rate of m cent, which
was permissible under the Mexican pos
tai laws. Under the laws of the United
States the enclosure of such circulars in a
sealed envelope would require them to be
held for postage and refused admission to
the mail as printed matter. The post
master general has been in correspond
.ence with the director general Of the posts
of Mexico on this subject and 1t has been
agreed that the lottery circular referred to
shall no longer be carried in the mail or
delivered to addresses in this country. An
order to that effect has been issued by the
postmaster general. The Mexican post
Office department will instruct postmasters
in that country not to forward printed
matter in sealed envelopes unless prepaid
at letter rates and not to forward among
printed matter destined to the United
States any article whatever relating to
lotteries.
