seeking recognition in the sub-treasury
bill is based on ultimate truth, meets the
appreciation of nearly all who take the
trouble to understand it, and must in
time prevail. The principle contended
for in this measure can never change,
and it's advocates will never yield to any
substitute for it. The details are i'm
material, but those who admit the prin-
ciple and object on account of detail
as some of the members of congress do
place themselves in an awkward posi-
ton, because We have challenged those
who object to this detail for carrying out
the principles, to offer better system,
and it would get our support"
The Party Bosses at Work.
'sThe facts are they love Wall street |
better than they DO the farmers, for the
simple reason that Wall street donates |
the Doodle money for controlling the
elections where votes are purchasable
and the party bosses neither fear nor re-
spect the farmers because they have
always of late years been able to keep
them about equally divided by sectional
| prejudice. It remains, however, to be
seen how long that will continue.
Should the present Congress see fit to
respond to the pressure being brought
to bear en- them by the corrupt party
bosses, whose dictum is to ostracise
every member of the party who will not
join in to give unanimous vote against
the bill from both parties, which now
seems probaDle, it viii not hurt the sfue
interests Of the measure any, because
people know the measure has some
friends there, as many members have so
said aud endorsed the principle. We
will, under such circumstances, know
that the bosses whipped them into line
to protect others who were compelled to
vote against it.
"Should this happen another bill, in
volving the same principle, will follow
as soon as possible The principle that
seeks to stop the present discrimination
, against the farmer must sbe recognized
, or present tendencies will carry US on to
destruction"
1t is no Substitute.
"Mr. McClammy's bill is in no sense
of the word an Alliance measure, and is
: not nor will it ever be a substitute for
the sub-treasury bill. He had no right
or authority to say that it was endorsed
by every Alliance in the land. 1t fills
an entirely differe MT field, and if it should
become law, there would still be just
as great necessity for the sub treasury
bill as now. 1t seeks simply to increase
L the volume of money on land The AL
l. lance has not discussed or acted upon
= that question. We have announced il
r a general way, in favor of an increase
}. in the volume of money, and have dis
70 cussed and adopted the sub treasury
l. plan. The reason for this is that the farm
r or is behind in the race to day. There i
an actual discrimination against him by
fixed volume of money, the control ol
o1 which the government entrusts to
le class. Their bill seeks to remove thi
4 discrimination and place them on al
T. equal footing with the rest OF the pro
le cession. They say give US this and "
s. will make this country blossom like
es rose and will join you all in any saf
pl and conservative method fer increasing
the stable volume of the circulating me
