SOME of the schemes of the Far
mers' Alliance convention at Ocala
last year for making farmers happy
and prosperous by act of Congress
are so absurd that the farmers them
selves are beginning to see through
them. In those agricultural COM
:nunities where the Alliance has been
looked upon as formidable political
movement the signs of revolt within
the organization are daily multiply
ing.
The unwise proposition for the
establishment of sub-treasury or
government pawnshops for the
special accommodation of the tillers
OF the soil was regarded a few mon
tbs ago by the promoters of the
Alliances as the very cornerstone OF
their politial edihce, but the disfavor
with which 1t has been received IN
many OF the sub alliances has alre ady
caused discussions in the order.
In South Carolina, where the Ali
ance succeeded last year in captur
ing the State government, it has
been denounced by Governor Till
man and other leaders of the farm
ers as hum bug, and is likely to
cause the formation of two farmers
parties in the State. In Kansas,
which has been the hotbed of the
movement, similar revolt has been
started. On Saturday an anti
subtreasury convention of the Far
