FARMERS DEMAND FREE COINAGE.
National Alliance Silver Committee
Urges Question Upou Congress-


Urges Question Upon Congress.
WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. At the con-
yention of presidents of State Farmers
Alliances tonight the committee on silver
legislation made a report urging upon
congress the demand heretofore made by
the National Farmers Alliance for free
and unlimited coinage of silver upon the
same terms and conditions that gold is
now coined. The report says in part:
We regard it as a high duty enjoined upon
congress by the constitution to provide for I'M
limited coinage of both precious metals. gold
and silver to the end that the people of the sew
eral states may be provided with circulating
medium. We express our surprise, regret and
Indignation that this duty has been so long de-
iayed ana neglected, contrary. as we believe,
not only to the duty We have mentioned, but to
the best interests of the masses of the people,
who are suffering the pangs of poverty and from
stagnation OF business caused by the want OF q
sufficient circulating medium We believe and
charge that such delay has been occasioned by
undue influence in our governmental policy
by those whose interest it is 10 con-
tract the currency and subserve monopolies
and money lenders. We express our earnest
condemnation OF the exercise of the arbitrary
policy which prevented fair consideration of
the free coinage bill ar the last session of con-
gress, and hope the bill which passed the SEN
ate the present session win be speedily reported
to the House and enacted into a law.
We say to the representatives the coinage
committee that any efforts to uuduly delay a re-
port on the bill so to prevent action thereon
by the House in the few remaining days of this
congress, will merit and receive still further
condemnation by the farmers and laborers of
this country.
We have waited many years for the simple
justice of having both precious metals restored
to free coinage. and hereby declare our determi-
nation to press the fight on this line I'M
Ill this relief is accorded 10 the laboring
and producing masses of our nation and to hold
responsible the men irrespective of party who
obstruct in any way the legislative enactment
of just measures so strongly demanded by the
laboring classes of all parts.
The council will endeavor to obtain a
hearing before the House committee to-
morrow and present this report.
The sub-treasury and land loan PROPOSE
tions are being considered by another

Written Constitutions.

Lime upon line and precept upon pre-
cent" We DO not intend to let our north.
ern friends forget that during the war be-
tween the States they absolutely destroyed
or abolished the Federal Constitution. To
contend that that constitution could be
silenced during war. and restored to life
and force and q resonant voice when
peace followed. is to contend for an iin-
possibility. Armies may destroy written
constitutions, but cannot afterwards re
vive them. The power to restore 20 life
does not belong 10 any man or set OF men.
These reflections were suggested to US
by the following paragraph from the
speech ON "Wednesday last at Boston. OF MIR.
BALDWIN. president Of the American Bar
Association. We quote:
"Our American system OF government has
been distinguished from all others by its giving
through It's written constitutions such guaran-
tees OF Individual right as no sudden change
In public sentiment, no sudden exigency In pub
lie affairs could break over or break down. But
constitutions are nothing unless they are en-
forced In the spirit In which they wero con-
eeived."
Would that this were so. II Is in spirit
Just what we said to the Chicago Tribune
yesterday. But where is the Republican
who believes that no sudden change in
public sentiment. no sudden exigency IN
public affairs " can break over or break
down o written constitution" Who're is
the Constitution which the fathers made
for usi Where is the form of government
which they beauesthed to usf Alas. that
we should have to mourn the destruction
Of the Constitution and the form Of gov
eminent which it was framed to establish
and perpetuate.

Another View.

Our contemporary Of the Washington
Post has discussed with ability the CUES
tions as to railroads and their right, t
which we sllude IN our leader this morn
ing. II has credited President PERKlSi
with the presentation Of most Of the force
full arguments which II has offered or
this subject, but 10 nevertheless entitled to
much Of that credit itself. We quote q
paragraph or two from the Post:
"Thc commodity tn which the railroad com.
pany ideals has 70 10 cold upon the spot as II
were. II h something that cannot be used any
whore else or held for future market. IL Is
also " 30 borne In mind that at least two thirds
Of the cost of transportation Ii made up OF nxed
end unavoidable expenses, which have 70 10
paid whether the commodity IL cold at a profit
OF . lore, and that the constant production Of
this commodity Is not optional with the company,
bus compulsory.
"Under those circumstance II would seem TO
b self-evident that any statutory inhibition
which prevents associated action on tho part Of
the roads In tho nying Of rates at living
schedule aud subosdinates sound business prin.
ciples based on the current conditions Of trade,
70 the arbitrary requirements Of an immutable
law, necessarily opens the way to the risk, II
noe ruin. Of unrcasonsbly low prices Not
seldom has II led 70 tho bankruptcy or consolids-
ston Of competing lines. simply through legal
inability to pool their earnings for tho common
bens0s Of AL
Let not our friends Of the Alliance sup
pose that we have any word Of csnsure for
them. We simply desire to do justice 70
Al We sympstbize with the farmers be-
csuse they are powerless to help them
'slves. and must therefore depend upon
'hs 0ovssnmsnt to help them. This re-
ults, g " have ssid heretofore, from the
aet thAt railroads ass natural monopolies;
