Sub-Treasury Scheme.

The advocates of the sub-Treasury scheme
contend that the Government belongs tO the
people: that the farmers constitute by far the
larger part of the people that upon them falls
most heavily the burden Of taxation while
their labor produces that which supports all
other classes. and that therefore they are en-
titled TO the protection and support of the
Government; that if the credit Of the Gov
eminent makes money, they are entitled 10
its benefit. But by the same rule, whatever
increases the expenses of the Government
adds o. their burdens. while rs a class they
are entitled 10 10 especial privileges. them
selves contending for equal rights D. ALL"
It's evident that mere assertion Is not ar
gument, and we can conceive of no reason
why any member Of the Alliance should be
bound 20 support the sub-Ireasury scheme,
unless convinced of IT'S utility even with the
qualification, "orsuggest better one Ihatit
isopposed to the spirit and Constitution OF our
Government as well as the ay0wed principles
Of the Alliance seems 10 us evident, and also
that 1t will intensity and aggrayate the evils
under which farmers now labor. and utterly
fail of remedying the evils OF plutocracy and
monopoly.

A Dakota correspondent of the Minneapolis

rain theory. says: 1--WE exploded about 100
pounds of dynamite week or ten DAYS ago

have TO, since he cannot hope TO escape re-
sponsibility for the application Of his own
theories. The far cry from Dakota only

Earth Growing in wsisAe

It hardly seems possible that the earth could increase in weight apprs- ciably from the meteoric hall to which it is subjected. The few shooting starr one sees seem utterly ihHapabls of pro ducing any noticeable increase. It is not these, of which even 8 closs ob- server could scarcely count an average of four an hour on a clear night, but the myriads of lesser ones that are never seen, unless accidentally crossing the field of an observers telescope, that produce the result
 These lesser ones are of such slight weight that the small amount of light caused by their combustion in the earth's atmosphere Is not visible to ths naked eye. However, these little fel- lows are continually bombardins the earth day and night, year in, year out finally reaching the surface e . fns dust This increase in weight amounts to about 90,0O0 tons year at very moderate calculation.-Nsw York Re. cortler
