throat OF labor, Dy depriving capital Of
the chance to exact usury, and it wipes
the. e.whole menagerie Of bulls and bears"
from the face of the earth. Now let us
brie fly see what 1t does. Under its
operation. the people, community, or
nation takes the food raised by the in
dividual, unit, or farmer, and stores it
away for the use of the people or nation.
AT the same time it gives to the unit, or
farmer, a certificate that he has per-
formed certain amount of labor las
evidenced by his grain). This certif-
cate is called money, and is furnished
at one per cent, or cost of the service.
The people must redeem this money
with such other products of labor as the
farmer needs; which is just for is not
the product of the farmers toll in the
possession of the Nation, or people.
Then, again! At the time of moving
the crops there is great demand for
money. Both the farmer and the mer-
chant have to have it. The merchant
to buy grain offered for sale; the farmer
to avoid sacrificing his years toll This
is the time of capitals harvest Under
the operation of the sub-treasury plan
there would be no harvest time
of usury for capital But what
is the use of enlarging? 1t would
be the essence of cooperation.
The people say to the farmer: Raise
our food, we will supply your necessary
wants!'' Besides. the whole people,
whose duty it is, take the grain and
hold the surplus or export grain in store
until prices are satisfactory, instead of
compelling the farmer to sacrifice his
years toll by rushing his grain to a
speculative market and falling a VIC
tim to the cupidity of set of unprinci-
pied scoundrels. This is no more than
the Nation should do. The sub-treasury
plan, however, does not in the least
initiate against or interfere with the
plan as championed by some others
to-wit Government loans upon real
estate; nor has it any connection
with the financial problem as solved by
that plan; nor ought that plan to be
mixed up with the consideration of the
sub-treasury plan. The notes contem-
plated by the latter plan are not in
tended as regular issue of money, to
continuously remain in circulation.
They form supplementary issue for
specific purpose, and must return to the
peoples treasury as the grain is con-
sumed or sent abroad. With monev on
land at two per cent, and the sub-treas-
ury plan in operation, the practice of
paying interest to individuals would
fall into 'innocuous desustude, and
grain spectators would have to seek
other employment. So mote it be.
Governor Gordon Certainly Defeated
The headquarters of the National
Farmers Alliance of this city was
flooded with kilograms from the
South and West in regard to the
defeat of General John B. Gordon
and his Bourbon and anti-Alliance
friends in Georgia They say that
the result insures an Alliance Senator
from that State. 1t is stated by the
officers here that the work will be car
ried on as effectively in other States of
the South and West, and that the fact
that Roswell P. Flower, who represents
Wall street is chairman of the Demo
cratic Congressional Committee, Will
cost the Bourbons twenty members in
the fight for the Fifty-second Congress-
1t is announced from the Alliance head
quarters that neither Republican nor
Democrat who opposed the interest of
the people on the silver and currency
question Will receive the support of the
Alliance in the present campaign
Washington Dispatch to the Globe
Democrat.
If the Alliance and Southern Demo
Gratis work together so harmoniously,
how does it happen that the Georgia
Alliance is running in an entirely new
set of Congressman in that State, thus
exciting the rage of all the machine
Democrats in that State? Why is it
that Senator Gordon and the Alliance
leaders of Georgia are having such
bitter fight? Brother Hudson, you must
get up in meeting and explain Non
