white and wrong right, would it
pay the farmer to inaugurate any
such scheme: | think not.
The reason is that this weapon is
a two edged sword. The farmer is
in debt, but the capitalist really
owes two or a hundred or thous-
and dollars to his one. If the Far
mers' Alliance man is wise enough
in economic science to fully com
prehend the meaning fthe scheme
he is proposing, then l must say he
lis not honest. If he is noi, he is
the dupe of his fancy in either case,
and he compares most unfavorably
with the capitalist class, who to
their credit it must be said are
mostly satisfied to uphold sound
and stable currency. They can af-
ford view with complacency the
efforts of the farmers to enable
them to discharge their obligations
with deprecated dollars, and add
millions to their already congested
Golfers; as they would be sure to do
if perchance the Farmers Alliance
should succeed in its purposes
City corporations, with their bond
ed Indebtedness, great industrial
enterprises, rail roads, etc, etc,
would all reap a rich harvest for q
time, and on whom would the bur-
den fall, when at last the day of
reckoning came? Why enevitably
on the producer: upon the man
who creates, rings forth actual
values, like wheat AMI corn, food
or wool. Why: Simply because
in the actual process of readjust-
ment he alone IS compelled to be
continually supplying a market
with falling price, while his ex-
penses are cut out for him and do
not keep step with the changing
condition of things. Expense con-
stantly and for many months pre-
cedes production. The ratio of ex-
penses of to-day may agree with
the price OF to-day, but the frr,sae.
to-day's expenses is to be realized
next year; and 10! when next year
comes, the price has fallen. Actual
values have not materially chang
ed, but the jugglery Of finance has
robbed the farmer of his profit and
he don't know yet how it was done,
The getting back to solid value
gold tasis prices, has borne severely
on the farmers: there is no deny
ing that. They have not, like the
prudent man in scripture, fully
foreseen the evil and hid them
selves: nor do they now seem to
realize that they are proposing tc
tempt Providence to destroy them
altogether, if that were possible
But really, no class of workers have
so much at stake or so much to gain
by q sound and stable currency al
the farmers. A currency that will
not alter in purchasing power il
the very life and soul Of safe agri
cultural enterprise: as of any hon
est enterprise where months must
elapse between seed time and har
vest.
If the farmers can't realize thi
truth, they would better pray f0l
mercy on their souls; as the vul
lures of finance will pick the flesl
from their bones and enjoy the re
past. Very respectfully,
w. E. HATHAWAY

Sub-Treasury Scheme.

1t takes little time for an ordi-
nary man, who has been accustom-
ed to rationali ways of thinking, to
awaken t. the realization, that
there is a great organization of
men throughout this country, who
are really bent upon securing polit-
ical recognition for such an utterly
ridiculous measure as the "Sub-
Treasury scheme" We may as
well face the fact, for it Is a fact,
and there is one other fact of even
worse omen, viz: thousands of
politicians and would be Legisla-
tors both State and National, have
no principle nor sound economic
judgement to interfere with their
personal ambition. They are ready
to represent any class of people or
any ideas, only so they should be
permitted to be the Representa-
tives.
Certain other facts must be con.
ceded, viz: These Farmers Alli-
ance men, are no doubt, mostly
honest. They are also intensely in
earneast. They think they know
what they want and they mean to
have it. They believe that they
are seeking the greatest good for
the greatest number, and that they
are justified on moral grounds in
their undertakings. 1t may be
doubted whether they are quite
rational just at present, and wheth'
er they are amenable to reason
Unpalatable truth, which should
seem to offer no rosy picture of an
easy way to wealth, and hold ou,
no hope but continuance of toll
and ceremony rs the true road tC
independence, would no doubt bt
rather dry reading to the average
Farmers Alliance man in this day
of golden dreams and gigantic
schemes. The effort to reach hin
with reason seems so stupendous
that we are In danger of neglectinf
the duty. But just that is the duty
of those who would serve him best
We must muse on faith in his sin
cerity, common sense and patriot
ism; and appealing to those, w
must laboriously enter also upon
the working education, and teacl
in season and out of season the fun
damental principles of economic
science, until he who runs shall b,
able to read and also understand.
One axiom of political science
ought to be fixed in the minds 0
intelligent men, viz: increasing tn,
volume of money will not increas,
the value of products. 1t may in
crease the price, as expressed il
dollars of currency, but in the sam
proportion the purchasing power o
the dollar will be diminished. Tha
which determines value, is surel
the relation that any product ACT
ually bears to human needs or dt
sires. Any great or unnatural ez
pansion of currency would wor
injustice to creditors whose claim
are expressed in dollars Of the pres
ent purchasing power value ofgolt
Any man who owes 800 or 500
now, and who desires an expansio
, of the currency in order that h
, may sell his products for a hight
, price, and then virtually discharg
his debts with money whose pu
chasing power is less than that j
which the debt was contracted,
: simply willing to be thief if b
can enjoy the fruit of robbery will
out incurring its penalties. This
: is the simple English Of it withol
subterfuge or evasion.
