The Ocala Platform,

We give elsewhere the platform adopt
ed by the Farmers Alliance of Virginia
in session at Richmond, last week 1t
will be seen from it that the Virginia
Alliance has placed itself in line with
the general meeting that was held in
Ocala, last spring, and that it has ap>
proved the whole revolutionary pro-
gramme of that body. We do not think
the action of any political party-for the
Alliance has assumed a distinctly polit~
ical character-couid be more threaten
ing to the business of the country and
more calculated to disturb the healthy
financial condition of the nation, than
do the declara lions of the Alliance. We
have no apprehension that any of these
wild notions will ever be enacted into
law, but at the same time, they will
cause a tremor to run through the whole
financial system of the government
Confidence may thus be shaken, and
the South's business growth and pros
perity retarded, at least for IA while, for
want OF the necessary capital for its de-
veIopment. At a time when the condi-
lions which prevail in Europe favor the
farmers and the working men OF the
United States, and when the natural
flow of trade should largely contribute
to the advantage of this country it is
unfortunate that an organization, pre-
sumed to represent the most conserva-
tive element of our people, should pro-
ject such fatal faIlacies as are embraced
in the out-givngs of the Alliance. They
propose to strike down the most conserv>
ative and safe financial system ever
adopted by any nation, and through
which this country has prospered and
grown to a degree without parallel
among the nations of tie earth. They
propose to &C nvert the National Govern
ment into brokers' Office to make loans
at 2 per cent. on farm tgages-the re-
suit Of which in ten years would be that
the Government would own half the
farms in the country. They would es-
tablish paternalisin that would change
the whole character of our institutions.
and threaten the tXisIence Of a govern
ment of checks and balances, such as is
ours. vi all tu5 wiz sdSdriSn WHICH
ever emanated from diseased or ignorant
minds, those enunciated by the Alli~
ances of some OF the States are the wild~
est. There is not a single argument or
excuse that can be offered to Justify the
revolutionary programme. 1t is as near
anarchy as well could be imagined. and
if adopted would bring about revolution
in every relation of business and govern
ment. that would topple to ruin the very
pillars upon which our institutions rest.

The Alliance Platform.

We publish as "a matter of news and
forfeiture reference the platform adop-
ted by the Virginia Alliance. We do not
think we have ever seen compressed IN
the same space as much absolute poiiti-
cal trash as is contained in the declara
lions made. There is scarcely a resolution
adopted or a notion projected that would
not more properly have enanated from
an asylum for the feeble minded, than
from a body claiming to represent the
most ira nsparent and disgusting deina-
gogueism that was ever thrown together
in sentences and is an insult to every
sensible farm er in the State. Ii it We're
possible to carry the resolves into laws,
there is not an interest of the State or
country that would not be ruined by it.
The whole character of our government
would be changed, and instead Of gov
eminent of the people and for the peo-
pie, it would be a monster power con
trolling and managing the private affairs
OF individuals, owning and directing rail-
roads, steamboats,, telegraph lines, street
cars, turnpikes and all lines of transpor-
tation, and issuing to the people $50
each, whether they have anything to
give in return for it or not. There never
was such tumble of nonsense and folly
presented for the consideration Of any
State or people.

A year or SO ago the authorities of
Washington and Lee University at Lex
ington. provided handsome and well
equipped gymnasium. There, however
was no discipline in its use, and the fear
was that it might not fill the purpose
of the Trustees, in instituting it. At the
last meeting of the Board OF Trustees,
however, this defect was remedied, by
the election of DIR. E. NJ. Schaffer. of Bal
timore, director Of the gymnasium
Hence, hereafter the physical training
and development of the students at that
institution will be as carefully and syste
matically attended to as their mental.

Railroads aud the Farmers.

A prominent complaint Of the Alliance
is against the railroads, and to remedy
the alleged inipositions practiced by
them on the farmer, it is proposed to
create a railroad commission to regulate
and virtually control the railroads of
the State. Why the farmers should
manifest hostility to the railroads, is not
easily explained, when all the facts are
considered. But for the railroads. the
lands of the State, speaking generally,
would not have half the saleable value
they have now, nor would the pro
ducts of the farm be half SO protita
bic. The ready and easy access to inar-
ket, whenever crops are in condition
for shipment, is considerations that
seems to be lost sight of, after the rail
roads have been constructed. Before
they are built and when routes are
to be chosen, almost every farmer is de-
sirOus of having them come within conve~
nient distance of his place. Donations
of right of way, III many cases, are made,
public meetings are held and induce
ments offered to secure the location Of
the road and sometimes the most active
competition is called out as to two diff
ferent lines. All goes as merry as mar
riage bells, until the road is constructed;
and the tariff of rates fixed, to keep the
corporation in existence. Then a howl
is raised, threats are made, and an Or
ganized force effected to either contest
or embarrass the road, regardless OF the
benefits it secures and the values it ere
ates. The best friend the farmer has
IS the railroad To it he owes most of
the prosperity he achieves, and to it he
owes any increase OF the value Of his
lands that may occur. The opposition
manifested by the farming interests to
railroads is unreasonable and unjust, as
general thing. Railroad corporations
have a hard time to make both ends
meet at best. especially in the South,
where material development and the
freightage consequent have just com
menced. There ism sense or policy i'll
this constant crusade against the rail-
roads, and much less polite and bust
ness-lile would it be, were Il commission
created with an unfriendly feeling to.
wards such corporations. There ought
to be proper restrictions placed not only
on railroad corporations but all Others,
but they should be intelligently and
literally regulated, the result of careful
thought and practical consideration,
booking -as well to the interests OF the
railroad as to the farmers. Any loose
legislation, engendered by crude notions
about the rights Of corporations and in
flated conceptions of the wrongs OF the
farmers, would be a public misfortune,
and result in material injury to the raii
roads and tie farmers
