The Antf-Sub-Treasury People

have about all returned to their homes
They so away in high spirits, and not at all
crestfallen by reason OF their exclusion
from the meetings Of the Alliance. They
propose to take their case to the people,
who they believe will vindicate their course.
The following is one of the resolutions
adopted by the state Alliance, excluding
the anti-subtreasury members of the Ali
ance from the meetings:
Whereas. certain Alliance members have
organized themselves into foul conspiracy
to fatally stab, if within their power, the
Farmers Alliance of the state of Texas,
first by issuing a circular known as the
Austin manifesto, and secondly, By estab-
fishing q paper known as the Farmers
World, al Dallas and
Whereas, the issuing of said circular and
the publishing of said newspaper were
clearly intended to do fragrant violence to
the prosperity of the order in the most far
reaching manner; therefore, be it
Resolved, that all persons whose names
appear as signed to said manifesto,
And that all so-called Alliance mer who
are now managing the publication Of the
Farmers World in opposition to the
Farmers Alliance of the state of Texas be
and the same are now declared no longer
members in good standing of the order, and
all sub-Alliances of the state by the adop-
ton of this resolution are SO notih ed and
charges preferred
A copy of this resolution was furnished
the anti-sub-treasury members by the COM
mittee raised to hear their defense. The
ants got themselves together and prepared
a reply which was presented early yester-
day morning by committe as follows: T.

Gala Day at Clarks vile.
Special to the Gazette


CLARKsvILLE, RED RIVER COUNTY,
TEX, Aug. 2O.-Yesterday was a field day
here. il being the occasion of big barbecue
and Democratic rally. Several thousand
people were present, and all manifested
great interest in the speaking, which was
indeed interesting. The speakers were
Eon. D. 3. Culberson, NJ. c.; Hon. Jim
Clark, state senator from this district, and
W. A Shaw of Dallas.
Mr. Clark spoke first and for an hour or
more ably discussed the political issues of
the day. The principal part of his speech,
however, was in defense of the alien land
law.
Next came Farmer Shaw with the fun
so characteristic of him. His speech was
full OF wise counsel as well as of wit. 1t
was well received and had the applause
due it.
Then came Uncle Dave" who welded
the sword OF argument as he is went to do.
He gave it to the third party, who took
their medicine well. and then silently stole
away" If Democracy had enough such
fearless defenders US Culberson, her power
would increase.
In the evening meeting of the Demo-
cratic executive committee was called by
A. j. Martin, chairman, and thus ended the
glorious day

DALLAS, TEX, Aug. 22.-While the pres
ent state Alliance may not have adopted
resolutions directly dec, airing that body as
having thrown OF all allegiance to the old
political parties, yet there can be no mis-
take in saying that. as individuals, its MEN,
bers as d whole have done So As all
roads lead TO Rome" 50 do all expressions
of the Alliance members breathe forth that
ore IDEA, 1--WE are bound for that political
refuge, the third party" The fact that
many of the leaders 10 the third party con-
ventiOn held here last Monday and Tues
day, spent the remainder OF the week as ar
dent workers in the state Alliance, is but
another and unerring evidence Us TO the
truth OF the tendency toward third party
ism.
All interviews coming from the Alliance
members as published by the press are
burdened by that one cry, I'VE have sup
ported the old party for 10, these many
years, and we cannot do it again" The
political leaders III the Alliance have held
the third party lash to great purpose, and
the rank and file have Obeyed the dicta-
tons of it. The Ocala demands were in
dorsed with dispatch, and the expression
of those mem bers who would not swallow
ii gives to the world the fact that Il man
cannot belong to the Alliance and leave the
demands unindorsed. This warfare against
the ants is likely TO be carried into the sub
Alliances, and if such is done it may sur
prise the political bosses Of the Alliance to
know that they have encountered a great
opposition. The Alliance to-day have de-
cided TO educate the membership at large
in political economy.
This will be done through state lecturers.
Docs Alliance political economy mean third
party principles This the public would
like and have right to know.

MIR. Jones said that TWO years ago the state
Alliance was found in an iInpoycri shed con-

Southern Mercury nearly bankrupt. Now,
Mr.. Jones says, the Alliance is in good

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Carlisls
arrived here last night from the White
mountains and is at the Arlington. Ho
is or business couuected with the
senate committee appointed to examine
the workings of the tariff. The senator in
speaking of the work of the committee,
said that it was a great undertaking, and
that the report could not possibly be ready
before late next summer. We propose
to go into the subject thoroughly, ne
said, tracing 1t back in all its
relations to wages, labor. commerce and in
dustrial development for the past fifty
years. We have not begun taking testl-
mony, but have put twenty-five agents AZ
work gathering the necessary data. Hon:
Carroll D. Wright, commissioner OF
labor will cooperate with us,
deal of help in preparing our report. Tue
senator said he had not talked politics this
summer except in summer resort way,
but he added, II did speak in
a short interview of the great
hold Cleveland had on the people
and with what admiration they regarded
him. l did not predict his denomination,
however, because that is as yet matter Of
speculation.

my opinion be done Nothing can get IN

ANOTHER PLAN.
A South Carolina scheme to Put Cotton
Out of Sight i'll Order to Increase the
Price-How it will be Worked.


CoLUMBIA, S. e., Aug. 21.-An important
scheme. the object OF which is to prevent
the present crop of cotton from being sacri-
feed to low prices, has been formulated in
this city, ard viii be pushed at once
throughout this and all other cotton grow
ing states. z. NJ Stoeber, leading
farmer near Columbia, is author Of the
plan. 1t has received already the approval
OF all Alliance officers, and a special meeting
of Richland county Alliance has been called
for Saturday to take steps to put the plan
into active operation, and it is proposed to
form trust companies, with a capital of
from $50, 900 to $50, COO each IN each
county in the entire cotton belt.
and to receive as subscription
to the capital one-third on the cotton crops
made by each cotton raiser. II is proposed
to bind these trust companies so firmly
that cotton placed in their trust may be
considered as if not in existence or de-
stroyed for the next twelve months. At
the expiration of that period the compa-
MES are to dissolve and return the cotton
held in trust TO the owners. By this means
it would De possible 10 hold the cotton
supply for this year down to about $780,
900 bales. and consequently bring the price
up to aoout 10 cents per pound. It's calcu-
lated that under the present prices the
farmer, whose crop is nine bales OF 800
pounds each, at 6 cents per pound would
receive only S270, whereas II throughout
the whole cotton belt about one-third of the

DALLAS. TEX, Aug. 20-The Alliance
meeting is growing in interest each day.
and much business is being transacted
Those members taking part are nearly 10 i
lnAr sub-treasury advocates. Those who
are opposed 20 the su5-treasury bill have
al been rooted out. and are seen in little

Hon. Horace Chiffon Divides Time with
Him at Ennis-Tracy Is

Correspondence Of the Gazette.

Correspondence Of the Gazette.
ENNIS, ELLIS COUNTY, TEX, Aug. 2f.-
The Hon. Horace Chiffon, by invitation
from the Democratic club. addressed a
large audience at this place at p. N. yes
terday. He discussed the leading issues of
the day in an energetic and Logical manner,
and proved up the fallacy of the sub-treas-
ury scheme to the delight of his hearers.
The Hon. Harry Tracy had accepted an
invitation to meet Senator Chiffon in de-
bate, but failed to put in his appearance.
After repeated dispatching he finally came
down, last night, but refused TO meet Chill
ton with an equal division of time. He con-
fined his remarks to the sub-treasury, and
claimed that it, and it alone, was the
panacea for all the farmers woes.
Senator Chiffon followed him, and in a
fcrty-minutes talk tore all the sails from
Tracy's argument, proving his assertions to
be glittering generalities utterly unsup-
ported by facts, and in conclusion APP
pealed to the farmers to stand by their
convictions of honest government, to be de-
ceived by no third party apostles, and
above all things not to engage in these
three-card monte tricks, with the Repub-
ican party to deal the cards. The gospel
of Democracy as preached by the brilliant
young senator will produce much good in
this, the hot-bed OF sub-treasury Of Ellis
county.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug 90 had long
talk with National President Polk of the
Farmers Alliance. He would not discuss
state politics, bat spoke freely on national
affairs. Referring to the free coinage OF
silver, Col. Polk said that he did not believe
the next congress would pass Il bill The
probabilities are, he said, that there are
many who would vote for it if they were
sure thar the senate would kill or the presi-
dent veto it. They would dot to strengthen
the party, and the party is everything in
Washington. l look for a repetition of the
tactics INDUCED in by the old parties for the
last twenty-five years. We do not expect
any relief from either of them, as l firmly
believe they are controlled by Wall street.
In his opinion, the failure of congress to
pass q silver bill would not increase Mr.
Cleveland's availability as presidential
nominee. Col. Polk said that Cleveland
would be the Democratic nominee, but that
he would be opposed by every self-respect-
ing Alliance man. The friends of MIR. Cleve-
land were probably calculating that as
there was a strong chance Of three candl-
dates, there would be no choice by the peo-
pie, and that the election would be thrown
into the house Of representatives,, which,
being Overwhelmingly Democratic, they
felt would assure his election,

men this afternoon. Bradfo is popular
with the old soldier Republicans, and with

Of the Farmers Alliance together to organize

that in each sub-Aliiance there should be
formed a self-constitUted committee of
members who have not gone into the politi-
cal movement of the organization. whose
duty it should be to reclaim those Repubi-
cans who deserted their party for the AL
