and goods in his possession, he was sus-
pected Of numbering his companion.
He was not apprehended until ten
years afterward, and was tried several
times and finally executed in March,
1887. >
William Wymore, an uncle of
Marion, always believed that the lat

proved it by finding Cameron alive in

THE SUB-TREASURY SCHEME.

Globe Democrat.
The president of the Missouri AL.
lance, Mr.. L. S. Hail, has present.
ed one of the most forcible arguments
that has yet been made against the
sub treasury scheme. He discusses
the subject from the farmers point of
view, in a plain and practical man.
ner and it is to be regretted that he
cannot follow after Senator PETER and
expose the sophistries and falsehoods
of that noisy demagogue. The scheme
is intended. it advocates say, to give
fiexibility to the volume of currency,
making it plentiful or scarce accord
ing to the wants and interests of the
people; but Mr.. Hall shows that the
sort of flexibility thus proposed would
prove to be decidedly detrimental to
the farmers. For instance, he points
out, when more money is wanted to
handle a crop, this scheme would not
furnish it until the crop
had first been put in a government
warehouse where it could not be
handled. The crop must be locked
up, that is to cay, before the money
can be obtained. Then, the money
so added to the circulating medium
would by its abundance increase prices
of every kind. The farmers grain
would be safely housed, and he would
have his currency to represent it but
before he can sell his grain he must
return this currency. thus decreasing
the general volume, and making
prices correspondingly lower.
1t is q well-known fact that prices
are practically regulated by the
amount of money in circulation; and
the effect of this sub-tressury project,
as Mr.. Hall explains, would be tol
make money plentiful and prices high
at q time when the farmer Is . buyer,
and to make money scarce and prices
low at a time when he is q seller There
are other weak places in the plan, but |
this one alone is sufficient to condemn
It in the eyes of the farming element.
1t offers nothing to the debtor that is
worth having at the price that he
must pay for it. The most that it
promises is an increase of currency
under conditions that imply ultimate
loss instead Of gain to those who
pledge their crops for it. That kind
IF money is not desirable, and could
,ol be employed in a safe and salts
actory way. The fuctuation of
prices would be source of continual
rouble and peril. and the spectators
would have better chance than they
nave now to control the markets.
Any intelligent citizen who studies
