Alliance Demands.

Following is the report of the COM
mittee on legislation which was
adopted by the National Alliance at
Ocala on Monday:
First-We demand the abolition of
national banks. We demand that
the government shall establish SUBJ
treasures, or departments in the
several states, which shall loan money
direct to the people at low rate of
interest, not to exceed , per cent. per
annum, on non-perishable farm pro-
ducts, and also upon real estate; with
proper limitations upon the quantity
of land and amount of money. We
demand that the circulating medium
be speedily increased to not less than
so per capita.
Second-We demand that congress
shall pass such laws as shall etfectual~
ly prevent dealings in futures on all
agricultural and mechanical produc.
tious, preserving as stringent a sys-
tenn Of procedure lin trials, such as

when they have anything to sell
prices are low, but when they have
nothing to sell prices are high; he
says the towns and cities are growing
richer. and the farmers are growing
poorer every year. And this pessi-
mistic writer finds as the great and
overshadOWing cause for all the far
mer's dire calamlties-the banks.
He says these institutions pay from
80 to 40 per cent. per annum, while
the farms do not net 3 per cent. He
says the farmers would be much bet
ter off if there was not a bank in ex-
istence, and tells them they will new
err find relief until they learn to keep
their money out of the banks and
in their "Old stocking legs" This
correspondent has no doubt been inn
biblng an overdose of Alliance lit
erature, and consequently is badly
off of his kazip on several things. In
the first place, banks, on an average,
do not make one-half the amount of
profits he claims. If farms were
managed on the same business prin>
ciples as banks, the farms would pay
better and the banks lperhaps would
not pay so well. 1t is largely through
negligence, carelessness and Incidence
on the part Of many farmers that
they are reduced to the necessity of
calling upon the banks for favors.
Any farmer who will apply himself
diligently to his pursuits six days in
the week for fifty-two weeks in the
year, read good agricultural litera-
ture and study his business as men
who succeed in any other calling
have to do, can live well and soon
become independent OF the banks.
We do not know so much about the
other two counties, but so far as War
rem is concerned, all indications
point to as good or better condition
of the farmers than for several years
past. The merchants of McMinnville
never had a better seasons trade
than they have enjoyed this fall.
This could not possibly be so if the
farmers were moneyless. 1t is time
for farmers to quit their childish
whining and complaining, for no
amount of this will ameliOrate their
condition one whit, or lessen the rate
of bank interest the slightest fraction.
Their only road to success and pros
perity lies parallel with that of the
banker, merchant, mechanic and
manufacturer, through the toilsome
fields and over the rugged hills Of in
dustry, perseverance, and intelligent
application to their pursuits.

$5,OOO,OOO. The deal is one of the

ance with the law.
Third-We condemn the silver bill
recently passed by Congress and de-
mand in lieu thereof the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver.
Fourth-We demand the passage of
laws prohibiting the alien ownership
of land and that Congress take proper
action to devise some plan to obtain
all lands now owned by aliens and
foreign syndicates, and that all lands
now held by railroads and corpora
tons in excess of such as is actually
used and needed by them be redeem
ed by the government and held tor
actual settlers only.
Fifth-Believing in doctrines of
equal rights to all and special privi>
leges to none, we demand that our
national legislation shall be so Trans
ed in the future as not to build up
one industry at the expense of anoth-
err. We further demand a removal
of the existing heavy tariff tax from
the necessaries Of life that the poor of
our land must have. We further de,
mand just and equitable system 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 all national and
state revenues shall be limited to the
necessary expenses of the govern
ment, economically and honestly adj
minstered.
SiXth-We demand the most rigid,
honest and just state and national
government control and supervision
of the means of public communica-
ton and transportation, and If this
control and supervision does not re-
move the abuses now existing, we
demand the government ownership
of such means of communication and
transportation.

Some Good Suggestions for Home Mis-.
70 sion Work.
To the STtNpARD.

The writer has lately read a great
deal of missionaries and their great
and good work in foreign lands; of
the great amount of money which is
annually sent to the "dark continent
and other foreign countries to further
the work OF Outstanding and civil
izing the benighted of those lands,
and of the great sacrifices often made
by men and women who are even
willing to lay down their lives to the
great command to "preach the gospel
to all nations" While it is interest
ing to know that an immense
amount Of good and lasting work is
being done by missionaries in preach
ing the gospel and scattering the
Word of God in heather lands, yet
the fact remains unchanged that a
local band of missionaries within the
corporate limits of McMinnville
could find field of labor, which, if
worked in the proper way, would
furnish material for a splendid work.
Heather Not exactly, yet, from
neglect of the proper encouragement,
they have become almost as such and
within the very shadow of five
churches. Near the depot few days
ago a car load of brandy barrels were
piled up for shipment. While pass
ing along near this place the writer
was surprised to see no less than tif-
teen ragged urchins, from the age of
to 10, with buckets and cans drain
ing the very dregs of those barrels
for one drop of the frey liquid. This
was Sunday, and had those boys
been properly clothed, and encourage
ed by kind words, it is reasonable to
suppose that instead of draining
those liquor barrels, and fighting over
one which was supposed to contain
more than another, they would have
been at the:Sunday School or church.
Such places are called the "slums,"
and good people of the higher class
start with horror at the very name,
Notwithstanding the fact that their
mission work, or a part of it at least,
should be to go into these very places
and make an honest endcavor to
"lift the fallen," and with your re
tining influence start them upon an
upward course. Don't you think it
would be well to give little more
attention to home missions
And now that the holidays are
near at hand you are probably antici-
pating a very merry Christmas, with
out even So much as a thought as to
how the little ones of the poorer class
will make merry on that "happiest
day of ALL" IfyOu want this to be
the happiest Christmas that ever
passed over your head, just make as
many little ones happy as you posi-
bly, can. Only those who have tried
it can know the amount of pleasure
to be derived from giving to those
less fortunate than themselves.
"a New Year soon will come and pass
With you and both in it,
and it will be very gratifying to feel
that the greatest amount ofOu happi-
ness came by making others happy.

WE REPRINT in this issue from the
Country Gentleman, an article by
Mr.. John M. Stahl on the effects of
the credit system. In this article Mr..
Stahl calls attention to the charges
made by Democratic newspapers in
the late campaign, and never denied
or discredited, that manufacturers o.
agricultural implements sold their
goods to foreign buyers at much low
er prices than to home buyers. The
article gives as one reason for this
difference the fact that the foreign
sales are invariably for cash, while
more than seventy-tive per cent of
the home sales are on credit, and CAL
culates that the interest, costs of col
lections, bookkeeping, losses by bad
debts, etc, make a difference of about
20 per cent to the manufacturer be-
tween the foreign and home trade, or
in other words, the manufacturer can
sell to the foreign cash trade 20 per
cent cheaper than to the home credit
trade, and make the same profits in
both transactions. Mr.. Stahl says
some Of the home sales are made for
cash, but owing to the great losses on
the credit sales, the manufacturers
have to charge the cash buyers more
than they otherwise would to help
make up for these losses. We admit
the force of this argument, but would
respectfully ask why the home cash
buyer is required to bear all of this
burden and the foreigner none? If
Mr.. Stahl had carried his investiga-
tions a little further he would have
discovered that the high protective
tariff makes such a discrimination
possible. When a manufacturer of
this country goes beyond our bounds
for trade he has to meet competition
with the world, consequently he sells
his wares to foreign customers on the
most attenuated margins, but de-
mands cash on delivery to avoid any
possibility of loss. When it comes to
the home buyer, however, our beau
tiful protective tariff permits him to
form a trust with his brother manu.
facturers in the same line, thus sti-
fling home competition, while the
tariff shuts out foreign competition,
and both cash and credit customers
at home are robbed at the sweet will
and pleasure of the trust. 1t is not
our purpose to defend the credit sys-
tenn; it is an evil of gigantic proper
tons, but our government policy
forces milliens to resort to it. When

Plains, seems very much distressed
over the condition OF the farmers in

fine farming lands, the citizens are
industrious and persevering people,
but with all this they are moneyless
and very hard run. He pictures the

The first declaration in the AL
lance platform adopted at Ocala,
Fla, is, 1--WE demand the abolition
of national banks" They might
with just as much political and bust
ness acumen, demand the abolition of
dry goods stores, blacksmith shops,
railroads, newspapers, or any other
line of legitimate business. The ma
tional banks keep more poor devils
out of trouble than any other institu>
tions in this country, and there are
lots of Alliance fellows in the crowd.
The banks charge well for the SER
vice they render, but if the money
was not worth what they charge for
it, it would lay idle in their vaults.
1t is also true that banks, when well
managed, pay their stockholders
good dividends, but this furnishes
no excuse for the cry to abolish the
banks. Some Democrats nave tried
to ride into popularity on the same
cry, but we have never yet heard
any man offer a sensible argument
for it. Abolish the national banks
and the business of this country
would be stagnated to its uttermost
qualifications, and nobody would suf-
fer more or feel the effects quicker
than these very Alliance fellows who
are bowling for the abolition of the
banks. The national banks are just
as necessary to the farmers prosperity
as are railroads, manufacturing es-
adjustments, and merchants.
