Daniel Webster.
The Arkansas state farmers alli-
ance convention Endorsed the Ocala
platform and the sub-treasury scheme.

the rule of the people by the money

Ohio and other states, it will eventual
ly present a very picturesque ruin
New Nation.
Squeeze the water out of railroad
stocks: let Uncle Sam then pay the
stockholders what the roads are hon
estly worth, and then let the roads be
run in the interest of the people. If
the companies think this confiscation,
then parallel the roads. That's bust
ness!-Exchange.
Without direct loans of full legal
tender money to the people there is no
hope for American labor short of pow
erty, want and the most abject serf-
com. The alliance can never be in
duced to give up the theory of direct
loans of full legal tender bills direct to
the people.

IL misrepresented me, knowing that my

The government can guarantee
loans for railroad corporations and pay
the interest besides; it can loan its
credit to national banks and furnish
them money without interest; it can
take the liquid damnation of the dis
tiller, issue deposit checks for what his
trust says 1t is worth and give him time
on his taxes, but to issue warehouse
certificates on the farmers corn or cot
ton would be Observation-Disclosures

National Economist
business men ought to be shrewd
enough to see where their interests lie
The Is, 900 failures of last year should
teach them that the road to bankruptcy
is growing easier every year. The bus
mess mems interests are in common

The western alliance do not under
