WIN Il Stand Disc11ssion2


The sub-treasury scheme Of the alliance
has never been subjected 10 the test OF a
thorough discussion in political campaign.
1t has been talked Of and assertions and
deniaIs have been made with regard to it,
! but it never has been presented to the farm
ers in a way TO make them study it and de-
/ eide for themselves whether or not it would
be helpful to them. But it is going to be
presented to the farmers of Mississippi in
/ all its phases, and it is safe to predict that
I they will decide against it.
The democratic executive committee of
that state has arranged for a thorough dis
cussion of it. The alliancemen are divided
| in regard to it, and they want to hear all
that can be said for and against it. The
campaign for a United States senator to
succeed Senator Walthsll has been begun,
and the sub-treasury scheme is the main
| issue Of it. Hon. Ethel Barksdale is can
didate and he is seeking the support of the
alliance. He favors the sub-treasury
scheme. He declares that he will defend it
90 the end of the campaign, and he calls
| upon alllancemen to support him.
Gov. Stone is also a candidate. He re-
Gently wrote a letter in which he said: 1.-THE
sub-treasury scheme promises nothing good
TO farmers, who, above all others, will be
the victims of the evils of any imitation
which will disturb values They need for
their welfare currency as steady and Sta
bic as themselves. The traders and specu-
lators-those looking out for deals and
corners-can riot amid the excitement of
speculative values aud fluctuations from
disturbance Of the circulating medium.
The farmer and laborer stand no sort of
even chance in that condition of things"
Senator George has also taken the stump,
and his views in regard to the scheme are
well known. He is against it. He would
rather retire to private life than say one
word in behalf of it, so firmly is be con-
WINGED that it would work ruin to the
farmers
There will be many other speakers-some
on one side and some on the other-and be-
fore the campaign is ended the farmers will
know a great deal more about the scheme
than they do now.
There is not one farmer in twenty in this
or any other state who knows anything
more of the scheme than that it is some
thing alleged to be for the benefit of the
farmers. In a general way the farmers
know that it involves the erection of gov
ernment warehouses in which they can
store their crops and receive from the gov
eminent so per cent. Of their value, but
they do not know enough of it to form an
intelligent opinion as to whether it would
make their material condition better or
worse.
The campaign in Mississippi will be ore
OF education, and it Is not venturing too
much to assert that when it is ended the
| judgment of the farmers will be that the
suo-treasury scheme will not stand the test
of fair and intelligent discussion.

Some Uses for WarshiD !

Since the Unirad s ates warship Yantic
has been engaged in the somewhat novel
but decidedly useful employment Of destroy
ing obtrusiveiy bulky wrecks along the
Atlantic coast by blowing them up with
dynamite, an observant and thoughtful
metropolitan contemporary has been
prompted to suggest various and sundry
peaceful uses for ships of war; But the
| chief field Of usefulness pointed out is the
demolition Of wrecks in the channels of
marine commerce by means Of dynamite
torpedoes.
That is certainly far better than having
the navy aimlessly sailing around the coast
and running aground on every fishtrap that
is projected out from the shore. But the
writer of that very able and original sug-
gestion has failed to state many OF the most
graceful and attractive ways in which the
naval cruisers might be made peacefully
and TRANQUILITY useful.
To start with, they might cruise all along
the coast until they get pretty we'll &C
quainted with the outside appearance of
their own country so that they may be able
to- sail along it quickly in case of sudden
emergency without knocking off any of our
national territory.
Then they might visit every coast city
and town that is approachable and carry
the star"spangled banner floating aloft SO
that the people may see it ON the sea- That
is apparently about the only way they are
likely to seeit floating on the sea, and it
may have tendency to inspire patriotism
Other ships might be assigned to protect
the clothes Of the bathers along the New
Jersey coast and occasionally carry the
national administration to dinner.
There are many peaceful uses for war
ships" beside butting their noses together in
order to give employment to needy political
| haalars

Once more my hand will clasp your hand:
Your loved voice shall hear once more;
But we shall never see the land.
The pleasant laud we knew of yore;
Never, on any summer day,
Hear the low music of its streams,
Or wander down the leafy way
That leadeth to the land of dreams
STILL borne upon the scented air,
The songs of birds rise clear and sweet,
AS when gathered roses there,
And heapeI their gior1es at your feet;
And still the golden pathway lies
At eve across the western sea,
Aud lovers dream beneath those skies,
Which shine no more for you and me.
No more, alb. nevermorei and vet
They seem 81 near, taose summer days,
When hope was like a jewel set
To shine aiown Times misty WAYS
| sometimes dream that mornings light
Will bring them back to US once more,
An that It's but one lons dark night
Since we two parted by the shore.
We parted with soft words and low.
And Farewell till tomorrow" said;
From and sky, and sunsets glow
A golden halo round you shed;
Then as you went heard you sing,
Haste thee, sweet morrow" Parting thus.
How could we dream that life would bring
Not any morrow there for us?
We parted; and that last farewell
Its shadow on our life.path cast:
And Times relentless barriers fell
Between us and our happy past;
And now we meet when cares and fears
Have dulled the parJIng and the pain
But never can the weary years
Bring back our golden dreams again.
