The Alliance and the Third Party.
Tho managers OF the Peoples party In
Missouri are making efforts to have the
Cincinnati platform endorsed by the Farm
ers' Alliance Of that State ut the next
Etate meeting. Mr.. u. s. HALL. Presl-
dent Of the Missouri Alliance. and a
strong opponent OF the Sub-Treasury plan.
which is the chief principle Of tho third party
boomers, has notified the members 80 that
they may choose delegates who Will repre-
sent their opinions as to the expediency OF
joining the third party and supporting the
Sub Treasury bill. He does not mention the
name Of the Peoples party. but declares his
opinion. formed from an intimate &C.
Queintance with our order for several years,
that our usefulness is at an end whenever
we violate that principle Of our constitution
which declares that our order is and shall bo
non -partisan one."
In regard to the Sub-1'reasury bill Mr..
HALL AYERS that whenever we 60 far for.
get our Alliance golden rule which de-
clares that we are for equal rights to all
and special favors to none, as to advocate
that special favors be granted to the raisers
Of wheat, corn. oats, cotton. and tobacco.
that cannot be granted to the millions Of
equally deserving hard-laboring poor Of our
land, we then declare to tho world that our
noble order is not complaining OF the rob
bing Of our Governmentby class legislation,
but that we are complaining because we are
not among the robbers"
Mr.. HALL had the good sense and the
courage to oppose the Sub Treasury bill at
the Ocala Convention. II am" he said.
"uncompromisingly opposed to this scheme,
for the following reasons: First, It is In
violation OF the Constitution Of the United
States; secondly, 1t is subversive OF, and d.
rectly opposed to, the constitution princi-
ples and demands Of our own order; thirdly,
1t Is unjust and ineQuitable; fourthly, 1t is
very extravagant; filthy. 1t would bring
ruin to the farmers Of our country and to all
other classes Of business; sixthly. 1t will have
and Is now having. the effect ofdrawing the
minds OF farmers and other laborers OF our
country from the greatest curse OF the age.
class legislation; aud, II adopted, 1t will COM
init us to that principle which will fasten
these curses upon us for all tme.'
He Is performing q good service to the
Missouri Alliance In seeking to impress upon
Its members the warning that the Ooala
Convention neglected. The Sub Treasury
bill is bad for the reasons he givesi and
from the point Of view OF q member OF tho
Alliance it Is bad for the additional reason
that 1t Is used as a wedge with which
to split the Alliance. The Alliance may not
care greatly whether 1t would be Q violation
Of Its constitution and perversion OF It's
purpose to make itself q political party. but
1t must be able to see that to endorse party
about whose most important principle
there is conflict Of opinion In the Alliance,
would be fatal to the latter. The Alliance
leaders. who are threatening 10 split the
Democratic party In the South and join
the third party II the Democracy will not
take up the Sub Treasury plan. are in real
ity as much enemies Of the Alliance as Of
the Democracy. Some OF them are getting
found out, as the sharp resolutions adopted
by the Prairie Dell Alliance demonstrate:
"WAereas We view with sadness and alarm the
efforts of OF Alliance leadsrs to pervsrt tho
order from the nobts and prAssworthy purposes for
which II founded into political party machins to
advance the interest Of corrupt and designing and
to fois upon the country In the form OF law the I'm

The Sub Treasury project and tho third
party will be dlscredited easily In the ALL |
anoe II they are associated, as they seem to |
be In some parts OF Texas, with pecuniary |
corruption. and II people sec that the |
project and the third party are op-
posed to common sense. Are they |
opposed to common honesty. tool At any
rate some of the wisest heads In the Al |
lance see that Its prosperity ls seriously |
threatened. II has lost ground In Kansas |
since tho Cincinnati Convention; and It will |
continue to lose ground wherever there is |
proof. or even belief. that 1t is used for tho |
benefit of the third party.
