INDORSED.

The Ocala Convention Indorsed the Sub
Treasury Plan.
Immediately after the adoption of the
Ocala platform Mr.. Davie, of Kentucky,
introduced the following resolution,
which was adopted by rising vote,
with only fGuF members voting against
it:
Whereas, There is now a bill known as the
sub treasury bill in the hands of the Ways
and Means Committee in the House Of Rep
ported and acted upon at the last session,
and which IL enacted into law would bring
the financial relic much needed by all
classes and Industries. Therefore be it
Resolved, That this National convention
of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Urion do most re pectful!y and earnestly
ask that said bin be enact ell into law as soon
carry out these principles and meet the
neceSsit es of the toiling masses.
After whole year of ridicule, abuse,
false argument and misrepresentation,
in convention representing twenty
nine States, but seven votes could be
found against it and only one State,
Illinois, voting solidly in opposition.
Even one-third of the delegation from
Missouri, the home of the most unfair,
unjust and misleading opposition, voted
for the proposition. 1t was complete
victory for the supporters of the sub
treasury plan, and demonstrated that
it, or something better. would be de-
.pApded and insisted upon by the in
telligent farmers of this country.-Ex.

An Experiment.

The new State of Washington is figur-
ing on the solution of the railroad aues-
ton That infant commonwealth had
an immense wheat crop last harvest.
The elevators, warehouses and box cars
along the railroad lines are filed. while
immense stacls of unthreshed grain
still stand IN the fields. The railroads
claim that they are powerless to move
it faster, and the farmers charge the
railroads with being in collusion with
the spectators to force down the prices.
So confident are the farmers of this that
they now threaten to build an independ-
ent line to their water outlet, Pupet's
sound, and ask the State to issue bonds
for that purpose, the State to own and
operate the new line. We detest every
thing in the shape of interest bearing
bonds, hut we hope this road will be
bpilt as an experiment in State or Gov
ernment ownership of railroads. Pro
gressive Farmer.

ODGE, WEDNESDAY,, 1891

uon on MS prouuculons | am not ao-
vised that our Government has fixed a
standard of value on any products ex-
cept gold and silver Neither of these
products possesses the property of sus-
tanning life; their only value in that di-
rection is to purchase the products that
do sustain life; why not just as well, or
better, give fixed value to the products
directly which are necessary to sustain
all animal existence? If the farmers
product should entirely fail of what
value would gold and silver be to us?
Another reason why the farmers
product should be protected with fixed
values in preference to any others is,
that his class is numerous and wide
spread. with so much more uncertainty
attendant upon his labor and invest
ment. When he had produced a sur
plus, were he to stop the production for
single year-which he would have to
do if he stopped at all--the same as the
manufacturers do when they have pro-
duced a surplus, the following year his
efforts might be followed by failure,
which would produce suffering not only
to himself but to all animal existence.
Not so with the producer of minerals
or manufactured products. The num-
Der of producers in their classes is COM
paratiyely small and if they find they
have produced more than the market
demands, they do come together and
agree to stop the production until the
surplus is exhausted then they can re-
sumo work without having to waste
nine months or year with the possi-
biity of a failure of production. They
can begin again and supply the demand
on short notice
1t possibly would require about one
tenth the number to conduct this busi-
ness that are now employed by our
postal department. The Government is
spending millions each year for public
buildings in our cities throughout the
country and to what better use can it
put the surplus in the Treasury than to
the erection of buildings for the protec-
ton of the products which are necessary
to our eXistence?-J. G. Frost, in Kansas

There is in New York City q married
man whose wife was reared in luxury
and always enjoyed wealth till four
years ago. when, through unforeseen
circumstances. he lost his all and fell
into poverty, but not into the dumps
He gave up his mansion. took quarters
in tenement and got hard work 81
low wages. She took to the kitchen and
did the cookery OF the households, she
took to the tub and did the washing for
the family; she took to the broom and
did the sweeping and cleaning Of the
apartments. He IL still at hard labor
on low wages and she 10 ret at work in
her household. His muscles have been
developed till his strength IL doubled,
and her nervous system has been inviR-
Grated so that she has forgotten the
megrims by which she was once afiilct-
ed The twain has enjoyed life better
in their four years Of impecuniosity than
they had ever enjoyed 1t in all their
years OF fortune. IN Y. Sun.

HAND IN HAND.

Loans on Land to Fund the Existing Mort
cages at Low Rate of Interest-Loans
on Grain to Give the Farmer the Benefit
of Legitimate Demand.
A good many papers throughout the
country, few of them claiming to be
labor papers, have industriously sought
for the last year to make the impress
sion upon the public mind that there
was a direct antagonism between the
sub-treasury and the system of having
the Government loan money direct to
the people upon real estate. Time and
again the Economist has sought to dis
pei this illusion and to contradict these
statements, but as yet there are many
who have seen only one side of the
question, and have been led to believe,
on account of the publications in papers
referred to, that there is more or less
antagOnism between the land loan sys-
tenn and the sub-treasury bill. 1t is
gratifying now to be able to hail the
world with notice that the position of the
Economist has been sustained by
the recent meeting of the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
at Ocala, where both systems have been
put into one of the demands for the
order. In fact, so completely do these
systems harmonize and go together that
they have been linked hand in hand in
the first demand made. The truth of
the whole matter is the land loan bill
would be of very little practical benefit
to the farmers and laboring people of
the United States if they do not get the
sub-treasury system first, because under
present conditions the farmer is not
getting a fair chance. There is a dis
elimination against him which, if al
lowed to prevail, will grow worse and
worse, and were the volume of money
increased to any amount and present
conditions allowed to continue.
1t would only be ques-
ton of time when he would find him
self worse OFF than he is to-day, if pos
sible. But should the sub-treasury
system be inaugurated the dlscrimina-
ton against the farmer will be removed
and he, having an equal chance to get
his share of the products of labor, will
be benefited by every increase in the
volume of currency thereafter. Once
for all let it be understood that there is
no antagonism whatever between these
two measures. They go hand in hand
like brothers. The Alliance desires
the sub-treasury first as stepping
stone to the increase of the volume of
currency. to the end that debtors
may have justice done them and NAV
be enabled to discharge their obliga-
tions under conditions equally as ad-
vantageous as those that obtained when
the debts were ontracted.-Economist

The Alliance in the Future.

The growth of this order has been
nothing short of phenomenal. It's Of
ficials now declare that they will have a
Presidential ticket in the field in 1892,
and If this promise be kept the record
of all previous third" parties in this
particular promises to be surpassed
The Know Nothing vote in 1856 for Mil
lard Fillmore was S74, ,534, which has up
to this time marked the greatest po-
tency ever displayed in National can
vass outside the regular parties. This
is more than double the vote polled
for st. John and Fisk, taken to-
gether, by the Prohibitionists; it is
nearly triple the vote of James B.
Weaver, the Greenback Presidential
candidate of 1889. and equals that given
to Martin Van Buren, by the Free Soil
ers in 1S4S and to John Bell by the Con-
stitutional Union party OF 1860 combined.
This years showing for the Alliance
affords some ground for the assumption
that all these figures viii be largely ex-
ceeded by this order in its canvass two
years hence,
1t is pretty safe to say that the Farm
ers'Alliance will have Presidential can
didate in the field in 1892. and such can
didacy will knock the calculations of
the leaders of the old parties into smith
Greens.
The Farmers Alliance seems to have
come, and come to stay.-Elmira Tele-

If farmer was to borrow $1,000 at
six per cent, secured by mortgage on
his home. deposit the money in the bank
without interest and then work for
years to keep the interest paid, the
court would decide that he was not COM
petent to attend to his business and
would appoint eonservator. Yet this
is just what our Legislators in Congress
have done for the United States. They
created one hundred million In four per
cent. bonds, and exchanged for 500, ,0O0,-
900 in gold, and then locked it up, in or
der, it was said, to provide for the re-
demption of S346. 600, 600 greenbacks.
Then they provided by law that the
ggeenbacl,s should not be redeemed.
From that time 70 the present we have
been paying four per cent gold interest
on 500, 00o. 900 in order to keep S1OO, 00o.-
900 in gold locked up and out of eircula-
ton. This is called ST. stesmansllip( y.

Every man or woman who wishes to
