NO. Daily States The New York
Sun points out TO the farmers the fact
that the sub treasury scheme il class
legislation Of the worst form. In other
words the farmers demand the right to
borrow money from the government at
rate Of interest to be fixed by them-
selves, but Congress could not pass
such d law without placing the me-
chanic, the butcher and baker, and III
fact all men engaged iD industrial pur
suits, on the same footing with the
farmers and the result would be the
turning Of the government into an inn
lnenseI pawn shop. The more intelli-
gent members of the Alliance realize
that the sub treasury bill Is utterly alb
surd, and there is every reason TO be-
lieye that the steady opposition which
it is sure to meet with, will soon cause
the Alliance to abandon it aud demand
of Congress that the present distress of
the farmers be relieved by such legisla-
tion as will open additional markets for
their products and remove the tariff
tax which they now have to pay on the
neeessaries of life.

What little sovereignty has been lett
the states from the inroads OF Federal
power since the war, ought to be sa-
credly guarded, as Governor Hogg in.
Inmates. The government, through
the operation of tariff for the benefit
of favored classes, is changing its
form fast enough already, without our
sitting down and without protest ac-
coping gift from the Federal power
under control of the Republican party,
which is coupled with the condition
that the state must go down on her
knees, become suppliant, an then
before the money is paid she must
submit to the Federal government IN
curing into her domestic concerns.
The acceptance of this bounty
would be virtually an acknowledge
ment by the state of Texas OF
the Justice of the Infamous
niece of robbery called the Mckinley
bill. Texas has by a majority OF near
ly 100000 planted herself on the DEM
ocratic platform of a tariff for revenue
only, and as Gov. HOgg says Texas
cannot afford to sacrifice principle for
the sake of few dirty dollars doled
out by the Federal treasury on such
obnoxious terms. Gov. Hogg in this
veto has saved the honor Of his state
and proclaimed the dignity and sover-
eighty of Texas, which does not stoop
to humiliation at the behestS OF ln-ld
ious Federal power, controlled and run
by growing and aggressive monopoly
