the Supreme Council of the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
will convene in the city of Indianapolis,
Ind, at 10 o'clock a. M. on the third

accessible point, with every accommoda-
ton, such that we feel assured our action

NOT DEFEATED.
Regarding the report which has been
widely circulated that Missouri had de-
feated the Sub-treasury scheme, Senator
PETER has the following to say in re-
cent interview: 1.-The Missouri Alliance
has done the correct thing. The sub
treasury scheme is proposition for the
people to decide and they will go right.
The sub, treasury advocates had enough
votes in the convention to hove carried
the plan, but they disappointed the poll
ticians by allowing the sub alliances to
settle the question. The sub-treasury
scheme was not defeated. 1t was simply
referred to the sub-alliances, and had it
been conven ion of Democrats or Re-
publicans 9TH majority they would
have fastened their idea on
the people and the people would
have been compelled to submit. The
action of the Missouri convention will
result in delay, but the alliance states
will all have acted on the sub treasury
plan in time for the campaign of 1892,
and / think the Cincinnati form will be
practically the one on which the cam.
paign will be fought by the peoples
party"
THE suB-TREAsURY Is THE REMEDY.
The Farm and Fsresde says; When
the new wheat first comes on the market,
the buyers and spectators will endeavor
to do their utmost to crowd down the
price. There are so many farmers who
are under the absolute necessity OF real.
izing on their crops as soon after harvest
as possible that there is always an OPP.
portunity for buyers to take advantage
of the situation and bear down the price,
There is danger Of overcrowding the
early market, forcing down the price and
giving all the advantage of prospective
high price to the spectators. There is
good reason for believing that the wheat
crop, both as to quantity and quality,
has been overestimated, and it will be
advisable for the producers to carefully
consider the question of holding for bet
ter prices than are first offered. The
remedy is be found in the sub treasury
plan. 1t is deplorable fact that out
affairs have come to this But 1t is true,
and it is the duty of our Congress or
devise some plan to relieve the people.
Our government even if honestly CON
Quoted is behind the times. Men are
now so shrewd and have so many loop
holes TO go through that it has become
absolutely necessary that change be
made. The sub-treasury plan will giveit.
Let us continue to work for it until We
get it Or something else.
