THIS is BAD.
EYE-OPENING EVIDENCE IN AL.
LANCE MATTERS.
The EXCHANGE System and How 1t was
Worked-Expert Wire Workers Over
an Expert "EXaminer.''
Special to the Gazette.


AUSTIN, TEX, April 16-In the Farm
ers' Alliance libel trial in progress here,
evidence was brought out showing how
the farmers are sCOOped by the Al
lance exchanges. The evidence was
from Alliance men of good stand
ing, who have been losers through the
Texas Alliance Exchange The leaders OF
change created a system OF notes upon
which farmers could receive supplies
through the exchange. Members of sub
alliance wishing goods to carry them over
the season would execute a note payable in
the fall. with three endorSeTs on II. This
note would be placed TO his credit in the
exchange. and he would be sup
piled with goods as needed. Farmers
in Texas sent up, as was shown by Macune
of National Alliance reputation, S415,0 600 of
these notes, but IL is not in testimony how
much they received in return for them
A witness testified that he gave his note
for $500 and only received $50 worth of
goods. His note was placed with Morrison
81 Co, wagon makers Of Cincin-
natl, by the exchange as collateral
to secure the payment of purchases made,
and the exchange going into bankruptcy he
had to pay the full amount of his note. He
mentioned four other farmers in his county
who he knew personally who also suffered
loss in the same way.
Macune testified that he and the officers
of the exchange would deposit these
farmers notes in banks as collateral and
borrow money. They We're also used as
collateral with wholesale men.
1t was in testimony to-day that when
committee was appointed to investigate the
books of the concern that the expert ap-
pointed was not shown the important books
at all. and could not make heads or tails of
the ones he did see. He wrote a report,
however, but did it under the direction oft the
committee The invoice book and cash
books. the expert did not see, nor can they
be found, and officers Of the exchange tes-
tify that they do not know where they
are.
The evidence places the exchange in very
bad light and shows that through its
agency the Alliance farmers of Texas have
lost vast sum of money

tiIeutly expected and predicted in authCri-
t4tiVe circles here that the public action of
Elaiue's note of yesterday viii lead to the
downfall of the Rudini ministry. 1t Is as

publishing the note was a fear that it would

converting the question into actual or quasi

should succeed in maintaining his position
against the political combinations forming
for his overthrow at Rome il is deemed
possible that he may eXticate himself from
the present complication with this country

Itudini said that he did not fear political
difficulties between Italy and the United

so highly a civilized country as the United
States could not fulfill the duties of justice
and morality. The concluding remarks of
Marquis hi Rudini was created with out
