LIHCOlu>S IFeulCt1On."H lie says tEc
Farmers Want Relief and Know How
to Get 1t.
tBy United Press.l
WASHINGTON, May 10 congressman
from agricultural States and members Of
the Farmers National Alliance crowded
the ways and means committee room at
the capitol to-day to hear Mr.. Living
stone, the national lecturer of the ALI
ance, expound his views on the Picker
bill for the establishment of sub treas
uries for the deposit of grain, oats, corn,
tobacco and cotton.
Mr.. Livingstone said there need be no
Misrepresentation concerning the objects
of the Alliance. 1t was not seeking to dis
place the ruling political parties. The
sub-treasury bill had nothing to do with
the tariff. The farmers asked that
the sub-treasury bill be passed.
Fifty-eight homes of farmers had been
sold in Connecticut in one day this
week. Relief was demanded, and the
farmers knew how to get it. He quo
ted President Lincoln's prediction that
corporations would be enthroned; that
the property OF the country would be
concentrated, and that the Republic
itself would be overthrown. He thanked
God that the last prediction had not
come true. If Congress refused to en-
dorse the sub treasury law, he said it
should remove The restrictions hedging
in the national banking system. The
sub treasury plan gave the farmer a
chance to escape the speculator by al
lowing him to deposit his crops in the
sub-treasury at any time, and spared
him selling at stated seasons. Ii the
sub-treasury bill were passed, there
would not be bucket shop left in the
United States. There need be no fear
that the bill would cause the farmers to
form trust.
