THE ALLIANCE HYMNAL.

Tune-"America."
My country. it's Of thee,
Once land Of liberty,
Of thee sing.
Land of the millionaire,
Farmers with pockets bare,
Caused by the cursed snare
The money king.
Land once of noble braves,
But now Of wretched slaves,
Alas, too late:
We saw sweet freedom die
From letting bribers high
Our unprized suffrage buy
And mourn thy fate.
Tlne-"Bulah Land"
We have the land to raise the wheat,
And everything that's good TO eat;
And when we had no bonds or debt
We were jolly, happy set.
The bankers followed us out West,
And did in mortgages invest.
They looked ahead and shrewdly planned,
And soon they'll have our Kansas land.
CHORUS.
Oh, Kansas fool, poor Kansas fool, 80
The banker makes of you tool;
look across the fertile plain,
Big crops made so by gentle rain;
But twelve cent corn gives me alarm
And makes me want to sell my farm.
These two selections from the new
Farmers Alliance hymnal are enough
for a specimen. 1t goes on Gd ndusedn.
If there is one more thing needed to
make sensible, civilized Americans turn

gerel parodies, it is that these disgrace

anthem and our childhood's religious
hymns into the mud will not aid its up
lifting, nor, to our mind, will such lead
ers as Esau PETER and Jerry Simpson,
with their wild notions. AS an exhibi-
ion of sacrilege this latest act of the
Farmers Alliance is complete. The
lymnal is also to be used in the cam

Does any suppose, if the financial
system of this country was just and
equitable, that such wild scheme as
the sub-treasury would ever have en-
listed any strength? The very folly Of
the scheme is but evidence OF the des-
peration to which the people have been
driven by class laws, and this sub
treasury was the connection of men
who would fight the devil with fire, or
class legislation with class legislation.
Give the people justice in financial
legislation and the sub-treasury would
die of its own folly. Back of this
scheme is protest against the finan-
cial tyranny of Wall street, and plea
for local money centers. Wall street
is surfeited with money drawn from
the interior, and the people ask in
vain for more circulation. The way to
fight the sub-treasurv scheme is to i'm
prove the system that gave it birth.

or withdraw from the order, or be ex-

or Withdraw from the order, or be eX-
PEELED from it.
The proceedings of the Fort Worth
convention furnish evidence that the
men who participated in it will never
submit to the rule of the party that
dominated the Waco convention. Their
declarations were not made in the
phrase OF irresolution or of timidity.
They boldly defied the present leader
ship of the Alliance, denounced the
leaders as corrupt and selfish, and
proclaimed their unalterable determin-
alton never to accept the obnoxious
doctrines of the Ocala convention. And
they are not the kind of men to back
down.
There is too much ground to believe
that, at this time, the sub-treasury fac
ton Of the Texas Alliance is in the ma
jority. The officers OF the organization
in this state are its promoters. They
have the machinery in their hands,
and are using it. The lecturers are so
many special advocates of the sllb-treas-
ury scheme, where there is no chance
for the other side to be heard. 1t
would be wonderful, indeed, if, with all
of these advantages, the sub-treasury
idea should not make Roadway. But
its authors and supporters have made
the mistake of rying to force the sub
treasury upon all members OF the ALI
ance, taking it as a test of loyalty to
the order. And that mistake has led
to a movement that will split the ALI
ance.
Such must be the result. The
Macune party cannot back down. The
other side will not give in. They will
be expelled: and then?
In the Fort Worth convention it was
asserted by men who had held such
official positions in the Alliance as to
enable them to have access to the books
Of the order, that there are fewer than
%, 900 members now on the rolls in good
standing, and that this is the remnant
of membership of $4,000 a few years
ago. There are, then, 100, ex-Alli-
ance members in the state, who for one
cause and another have withdrawn
from the order. The greater number
of these Withdrawals are said to be due
to the active efforts of the sub-treasury
agents to force that system upon the
Alliance. If this is really the case, are
not these 100000 ex-members good ma
terial for the formation of new Ali
ance upon the constitutional foundation
of the Alliance as it was originally
planned? A leader only is needed to
start the movement and bring them to
a rallying point. The Fort Worth
convention brought leaders to the front
and the movement is begun.

A NATIONAL BANKER WRITES.

WICHITA FALLS, TEX, July II. i
wish you would ask those farmers
who are opposed to the sub-treasury bill if
they have not got a sub-treasury in the
national banks as they now stand.
The treasury of the United States depos-
its in them without interest, and they have
this money to loan to farmers for interest.
And does not the government pay the
national banks interest on the money the
banks issue and loan to the people at in
tereSt Don't this favored class get interest
both ways, and thus make 81 equal to 81.
You and the convention now in session,
please answer this and give US fair deal.
Yours truly-but don't say we are ignorant
of the national banking system, for we are
not, as we own small share or SO in
national bank. We remain as ever, your
humble servant, d. c. DRAKE.
Mr.. Drake may own few shares or
many shares in a national bank, but
that is nc reason why he should know
all about the national banking system
any more than the ownership of "a few
shares in the Keely motor company
teaches the stockholders all about the
mystical cosmic force. Indeed, it is
pretty certain that the gentleman knows
very little about the national banking
system, if he knows no more than his
letter tells.
The government does not pay the
banks interest on ''the money they issue
and loan the people," The government
pays them interest on bonds-2 to A.
per cent-just as ii pays anybody else
interest on bonds who can afford TO buy
them. Upon depositing these bonds in
the national treasury as collateral Sc
curity, the governments allows the banks
to issue certain percentage OF notes.
But it doesn't pay a cent Of interest on
these notes, Mr.. Drake.
Neither does this right to issue notes
make 81 equal to So. If it did, every
national bank would issue as many
notes as its capital authorized it to
issue. Instead OF doing this, but few of
them issue more than the minimum
circulation. The last published state
ment of the Fort Worth banks shows
this fact very clearly. Five of our
banks have paid-in capital of $685.
600. With this they could have bought
about 81, $4,000 of per cent bonds,
and with these bonds as a basis they
were entitled to circulation OF 81 420>'
600. Now it is pretty certain that if
under the national banking law they
could have made 81 equal to 50, or
100000 equal to s2,840,OOO, they
would have done SO, for Fort Worth
bankers are but human. Instead of
taking this sl,42O,00o of circulation,
however, the statement shows that
their total circulation is only s225, 000
II Mr.. Drake will stop into the bank
in which he is shareholder and ask
the president or cashier for informa-
ton, we have no doubt it will be cheer
fully given, and then he will know
more about the mysteries of the ma
tional banking system the next time he
writes for the papers,

Special to the Gazette
AUSTIN, Tex, July 13.-T'he suh-treas-
uryites are greatly scandalized, it appears,
by the action of the Fort Worth Alliance
meeting. Perfectly natural. When did it
ever happen that the truly good did not
find Jordan hard road to travel! 1t is 4
trife strange that such good men, such
earnest seekers after truth and righteous
ness should not be more philosophic in
their reflections and utterances. Strange
that they should permit themselves to get
into tantrums, and swear, swagger and
roar against what they clam to be the
perfidy, infidelity and treason of their
brethren. A caI1ner and more philosophic
spirit would, it seems, be mora becoming in
men who dream
ONLY OF DOING GOOD
and banishing poverty and woe. If they
are on the right path, they will ultimately
triumph. Justice and right are bound to
prevail. The proper course fog them is to
preserve their sweet souls in patience and
work gu uncomplainingly to the end Popu-
lar favor and the good Of the cause demand
that. If they are the good and righteous
men, the saints without spot or blemish
which they profess TO be, how unseemly and
ridiculous that they should act like common
mortals, like dancing dervishes or Sioux
ghost dancers in an unavailing effort to
prevent what has already happened, or in
crying over spilled milk. Reputation Iago,
their reputation is at stake.
1t is noticed also that they find good
deal to congratulate each other about in
comparing the Fort Worth meeting with
that held sometime ago at Waco. Doubt
less they are right in that too. The Waco
meeting was
MORE NUNERoUsLY ATTENDED.
That is fact, and whyi Because the
saints who projected that meeting enjoyed
the confidence and good will of the rail
roads to such an extent as to procure the
granting of free passes to all who attended
in the interest of the suh-treasury. Those
of contrary sentiments had to pay. Only
one road, the International and Great
Northern, il is said, refused that gracious
privilege to:the sub-treasury patriots of the
Waco meeting. The writer cannot make
an affidavit about the free passes, but has
good reason to believe they were granted.
The railroads, it seems, are alone in ap-
preciating the beneficent work undertaken
by Messrs. Tracy, Sledge, Lamb & Co.
Why it is so, let the reader learn, if he can.
But it appears to be the fact. The good
fellowship existing between them mani
Tested itself during the legislature, when
they stood courageously together in joint
effort to resist the passage of the railway
law. 1t may be that

have waited anxiously for some one, in
response to Governor Gibbs invitation, to
suggest some plan for the Investment of the
surplus school fund in some enterprise or
development where not alone the public
would be benefited, but safety and security
would be beyond peradventure. And l
might add that l have been as much dis
appointed in the fact that no one to my
knowledge has yet suggested the
loan of this money to irrigating
canal or ditch companies, organized
for the development of our great
outlying western district, known as the dry
section of Texas. 1t does occur to me that
a plan could be devised to loan this money
to individuals or companies for irrigating
purposes with safety, and that 10 other one
enterprise or development could be of more
benefit to the State of Texas. For instance
/ would suggest that it be loaned on long
time at low rate of inserest. say to or
