THE SUB TREASURY FOOLISH
NESS.

Ever since the publications of Mr..
and impracticableness of the sub treas
ury bill, written some time ago to q
Southern gentleman, that fool project
has been pining away, anu is now in a
fair way to be chucked into its little
grave for good and all. The absurdities
OF it were made so clear by the able
senator, that none but the most stupid
would stand out against his arguments.
Every intelligent person that read the
letter saw at once that it gave the sub
treasury scheme its death blow.
Consequently, we are not surprised to
learn, as we do from the New Orleans
Times Democrat, that the Farmers
Alliances of the South are gradually
recognizing the fact that it won t do a
all and are putting 1t aside. Where it
was q cardinal principle three months
ago, but little is said IN its favor now.
The Alliances of North Carolina that
were going to scalp Senator Vance for
opposing it, have gotten over their
tantrum, and now think more of Vance
than of the sub-treasury scheme. Sim
liar changes in the attitude of the ALI
ances in Georgia, Mississippi and other
states towards the visionary project are
noted. It has been weighed and found
wanting.
