Reaching Deep Water.

The farmers movement that has
swept over the country in waye of
reform is now reaching a elimination,
the outcome of which it is impossible
to decipher. The first deep and uncer-
tain stream the farmers have reached,
in their march to Washington, is the
sub-treasury plan. The idea of govern
mental paternalism has not met with
the unanimous endorsement of the
members of the order. AT .Oscala,
Florida, on the occasion of the recent
meeting that question was hard one
to handle, and there was strong opposi.
ton to it by southern members who
saw in it no good to the order. Now
comes the Michigan. farmers in oper
revolt against the plan Before
adjourning a recent meeting of the
Michigan state grange the following
resolution was adopted;
I'VE regret that the national grange
the farmers alliance and other organi
cations of farmers have endorsed the
proposition in one form or another to
make loans by the government to TIL,
people That the issuing oil

or Indirectly. at a low rate of interest
would lead ito wild clamor for credit
every intelligent person must admit.
That no system could be devised or its
operation so guarded as to prevent
partialitY and favoritism in its dis
tribution. first, to personal friends of
the loan agent, next to his political
associates every thoughtful man must
forsee. That it would create a feeling
of helpless. dependence upon govern
ment aid by those whom it is designed
| to benefit, thereby relaxing their indy
yidual effort, destroying their energy
and self reliance and rendering them
helpless mendicants of government
charity every observer of human nature
must know. That it would lead to
thriftless improvidence, relying upon
government aid. or government fog
bearance by those whom it seeks to
benefit and prove a. curse instead of
blessing, is so plainly evident that We
are surprised that the national grange
should allow itself to be carried away
by the clamor of those who hope to gain
for themselves public preferment by
holding out scheme so enticing to the
ignorant or improvident debtor and
scheming speculator'"

The Sery latest reports from Wash
ington would lead one to believe that
national congress had about concluded
that che people meant business at the
November elections, when they so en-
phatically pronounced against the rule
of the bosses. 1t is very probable that.
despite the presidents message, con-
gress will not attempt to pass the force
DILL, but will put in its time on much
needed legislation with view to cas-
ing up the stringency in money matters.
It is well.
