SENATOR GEORGE, of Mississippi, in speech at Eupora. Miss, April 20. presented some very plain facts that might be profitably considered by the farmers of Arkansas, especially those who see in the so-called third party relief from their imaginary wrongs. The senator said; He wanted his hearers to recognize as an initial fact that labor was the only thing of real value in the world and that governments possess no power to create wealth. No money grows in the treasury. It is not fed by a peren- nial golden spring, but every cent going into it is a tax upon labor. And when man gets ''big richn or little rich" by legislation he is doing it on other peoples money. Governments have only the power to transfer money"
 After showing conclusively that the republican party was responsible for the present financial condition of the country, the senator tackled the sub treasury scheme. He said:
 ''Let us be careful. Let us be like a wise physician who finds a patient dangerously sick Let us not be in d hurry to give medicine. Let us first find out the cause; when that is done let us remove it. He knew he was talking against the preconceiYed ideas of many of his hearers, but as an hon. est man he must speak his convictions He believed that the policies of the republican party had caused the dls- ease. If so, a removal of these poli- cies and the substitution of honest policies would bring health, with due deference to great Mississippi leader. He did not think the present low prices of cotton were due to the rush of cotton ill the months of November and December. What we needed was honest government, economically ad- ministered. Imitation could net cure our evils. If we inhate the currency and leave the grasp of monopoly on the throat of the people it might act as d temporary anodyne. but the same causes would cause it to drift into the hands of millionaires. We have con siderable more money in circulation per capita now than in 1860, yet in 1860 times were prosperous"
 The senator showed conclusively that all the officers of the sub-treasury must be appointed by the federal au- thorities; that the keepers would have more power than any class of officials on earth; that when stored cotton went downit would never be redeem ed; that, being sold in bulk under the operation of the law, it would bring but trifle. The deficiency would have to be made good out of the pock- cts of the taxpayer. He honored the farmers for banding together. It was not strange that they had done so, and if they would apply themselves to the task of ridding the country of class legislation they would do much good. He produced many and unanswerable arguments showing the impractica- bility and danger of the scheme.
