MORE ALLIANCE SCHEMES.


 scheme was devised numerous other schemes and "demauds' have been made by individuals, and Alliances over the country. Ex-Governor Norwood, of Georgia, has q scheme for the government to loan the diff ferent states money, the states to make loans to individuals. An To- wa Alliance lately "whcreascd' and "resolvcd" and demanded, that Congress pass an act relieving farm CTS from all taxation. But the latest scheme and "demand" comes from Montague county, Texas, which IS entitled to the blue ribbon as a cure for the woes of farmers, and all other classes. It most beautifully illus trates the patcrmalism and class leg islation, of the sub-treasury heresy. Without further comment we give the entire press dispatch as sent out and printed in most of the daily pa pers.
 GAINESVILLE, TEX, Oct, 24.- The Sub treasury party, which IS very strong in Montague County, held delegate meeting yesterday, which was largely attended and the following platform of principles and resolutions were enunclated:

 Resolrcd, As the sense of this meeting, that we demand the pass age by congress of bill about as follows:
 SECTION 1. Be it enacted, that from and after date hereof, anyone who owes more than he can pay and makes an affidavit to that effect, which affidavit shall be certified to bv at least two of his creditors who want their pay, immediately upon tue receipt of such affidavit properly certified, the Secretary of the Inter for shall forward to such applicant enough money to pay all lis debts.

Upon receipt of such application the Secretary of the In teror shall submit it to an advisory board of three, which shall fix the amount to be advanced to said ap- plicant, but in no case shall such amount be less than three-fourths of the amount asked for, not at high CT rate than the applicant is willing to pay.
