West is more. bitter against the South
than the North is. They put q tax on

the West. It is not not worth while to go
into details about the sub.treasury.

MI Tillman Then recited Ithe proyis-
ions of the bill, Continuing he said -:
It is paternalism aud protection run
: mad. It is proposition to let the gov.
take care Of. your crop and after
awhile tell you how to raise it.. Hsmp.
I ton and Colleton would not get ware
house. ~. -: s aj.s II:
a Yoice-But does not the bill pro-
vide that two OF three Counties may
combine and get warehouse /? 5,
Mr.. Tillman-Yes. but it stipulates
that YOU must carry your produce to the
nearest warehouse.
McC Cune is the originator of that bill.
He is q reformed Republican, who failed
at dentistry in Indiana, foated about
. California for while, and finally went
down to Texas, where he manipulated
Alliance money.
- - Is there any, Justice in taxing other
industries to build warehouses for the
products Of the farmers. The Alliance
professes 5 equal Justice to all and special
fayors to none, IF that amt special what
is it?,
Two Republicans framed that bill.
There is no Democracy in it. 1t is a
bridge TO carry the Democratic party
"oyer, horse, foot and dragoop to the
Republican party. It provides for the
election of warehouse managers, but the
constitution saws Federal officers must be
annninted and not elected. and YOU
know whom the Republicans will an.
.point. III saws there shall be an election
to decide where the warehouses shall ba
bnilt. It will be Federal election. not
a State election. The negroes would
vote, and whites would divide. Would
not that be nica state of affairs? Then
there would be lots of stealing and EN-.
bezzling; cotton would disappear, and
there would be litigation. Some Of you
might take little too much whiskey
and get:into fights: YOU would be on
Federal ground. All would have to be
tried in the United States court. You
could not bring them into your own
courts. There is no more chance for
that bill to pass than there is to pass a
bill to build a tower to the moon.
There were only two congressman who
we're ayowed supporters of the sub-treas-
bill. They had their papers,as lawyers
annulled, but the Alliance thought they
were too enthusiastic, and did not nomi.
nate them for another term.
The most stupid thing to me in the
whole bill is that 80 per cent. advanced
on products in the early part of the year
and at the latter end of the year the
money is burned. What you need is
more money, all the time to keep prices
up ana Keep them STEADY.
The bill was gotten up by committee
of three-a dreamer, speculator and
scuryy politician-who wanted to pro-
vide popular scheme for broken down
politicians. Senator Vance introduced
it into the Senate by request. he was
silent about it for four months, and st
the end OF which time be denounced 1t.
In the meantime though the Alliance
papers ana tramp orators cried It aloud
