That it began way back before
Christ, and that Joseph started
that little scheme with Pharaoh

and store up the corn. BY this

cured a corner on grain and
squeezed the farmers so bad thai

ALLIANCE COLUMN.
The Sub treasury

One of the mos important ques-
lions before the people at this
time is finance. Various plans
have been propoie ed to pat suffi-
cient amount of the circulating
medium in the lands of the peo-
pie to meet the demands of trade;
but up to this tine no practicable
plan has been offered; none with
which the masses of the people
are satisfied; yet with all its faults
the sub-treasury plan stands in
the front rank; statesmen and pol
iticians have scofied at, and ridi-
called it, but they have offered
nothing to take its place. The
stand that 1 have taken on the
financial question: and the sub
treasury plan in particular is well
known, hence it will be seen that
[ have no motive in writing this
article other than a spirit of fair
ness, to the end that justice may
be done to the men who advocate
the sub-treasury plan. Frontier
in his letter to the News calls it
fraud and insinuaies that its advo-
Gates are a secret political faction,
whose main object is to lift them
selves into place sud power, this
whether intended Or not is an in
suit to tie intelligence of the rank
and file to the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Unions of America.
l am personally acquainted with
some of the learned men who are
staunch advocates of the sub
treasury plan; they are men of
pure and unsullied character whose
main object is to free the people
from the plutocratic power that
has has been ruling them for the
past twenty-five years, there may
be some men in thu alliance whose
records will not bear the the light;
they mey be found in all organi-
cations, and although they may be
stumbling blocks in the way of
reform yet they cannot impede its
progress Ss;llile iriIth, equity nuii
justice light the way. Twill now
ask Frontier a few questions: LIST.
Are you satisfied with the present
financial system? End. Is the
national banking system class leg
islation? 3rd. What is the amount
per capita of money in circula-
ton? 4th. How much should we
have to meet the demands of
trade? 9TH. What plan do you
propose to put it in circulation?
9th. Do you believe that either of
the old parties will remove the bur-
dens off the shoulders of the peo-
pie, under which they now groan?
7th. If they do not what would
you advise the people to do?

A Little GirPs Experience In a

Mr.. and Mrs. Loren Prescott are keepers
of the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand Beach,
Mich. and are blessed with a daughter,
four years old. Last April she was taken
down with measles, followed with a
dreadful cough and turning into a fever.
Doctors at home and D stroit treated her,
but in vain, she grew Orse rapidly, until
she was mere ''handfIl Of bones" Then
she tried DR.. Kings New Discovery and
after the use of two nd a half bottles,
was completely cured. They say DR..

The Alien Land law is still agi-
tating the minds Of, many Texans,
has caused the fnantial waves to
roll with maddening fury, and has
wrecked the Momnonian aspira-
ton of foreign spectators. The
principle involved. is worthy of
commentator, aid the man in
whose mind this thought orii
ted Is the intellectual giant of
Texas Legislature, but he like
dumb minister lacked the W
to cloak his thoughts. There
reasonable objection against Tor
eigners owning land and holding
it unimproved, to increase in its
value by improvements made by
others laboring around it. But to
break this up through the means
offered by this present land law is
rather an indirect route to get al
the main issue. Instead of the
foreigners suffering our own home
borrowers will more directly feel
The effects. Texas is not at pres,
ent in the proper condition fol
this law. We want more invest
ments, more enterprises, more cap.
ital ETC., in our STATE. Every chan
mel of industry, every branch Of
trade, every dollar invested, popult
ton farming ETC., cIn be multiplied
by 10, and then We will have al
idea of the ordinary capacity o.
Texas. Therefore 10 years hence
would have been a reasonable TIM
for the enactment of this law
And whenever a plant blooms to-
soon, or out of season, it is almos
sure to be nippedI in the bud
Therefore look out: for the extr,
session of Legislature.

The experiment of rain making
has SO fer proved tolerably success
full. The rain producers assisted
by Uncle Sam, and other million
aires have started for Westernfelds
in which to experiment. They will
operate in West Texas and in Kan
sas. They purpose to produce rain
at their will by means of tremen-
dous explosives. This mode of
producing rain is based upon the
fact that almost every noted
battle in the civil War, was follow
ed by heavy rains. If this thing
is success, it is great invention.
