tional. This objection was started by
Mr.. Oates. of Alabama who never saw
the bill. This cry was taken up syste-
maticallY by others. L said, tell us why
1t is unconstitutional. The answer was
because the government can't lend
money. In 1876, when Philadelphia
wanted money for the exposition, the
government loaned it, and the Supreme
Court of the United States decided that
it was a loan. In 1884. when the cotton
exposition was to be held at New Or
leans, Mr.. Oates said the appropriation
was loan, and made speech In favor
OF it, and it passed. And yet, the same
man will tell you the sub treasury bill is
unconstitutional-the government can't
lend money.
Talk about class legislation! All the
class legislation and for the benefit of
all classes except the farmers. Put
whiskey in warehouses, and furnish u
keeper, and give certificate of deposit.
and keep it three years--that is consti-
tutional; but when the farmer comes up
and says he wants to deposit some wheat
and corn with the government and draw
some money, 1t is not constitutional.
The fight against the sub-treasury ia
unmanly, because you know il is q fight
against suffering people. Really the
tight is against low rate of interest.
That ia tha rp1, FNhn o,,h trn

tain extent. Bring the present bill 10
me, and I'll tear it up, and YOU will
never hear of it again, provided you will
bring something in your pocket that is
better or that will give lis relief. We
want the principles underlying the bill.
Until something better is offered, tho
Alllancemen in the South will stick to
the sub.treasury. This bill means that
banks and everybody who lends money
can't get but 2 per cent. for it..
The Alliance is goir G to take part in
politics and vote for our friends. About
the third party, L want to say this: IT
there Is third party established in these
Southern States it will be on account OF
the dominecring, proscriptive plan OF
the Democratic bosses. You can't point
to an Allianccman who has gone into
the third party. No Democratic AL
lianceman ever went into convention
and bolted its nominations. These hon
est people who are Interested in this
great struggle for humanity claim moth
ing but what is just; and. living and suf-
tcring as they do, they are going to have
relief. We believe our struggle is just,
and we would be unworthy our manhood
if we did not stand up for principle. Our
evils are national in their nature and eff
iect, and can't be cured by sectlonalism.
L believe that IN the success of this move-
ment depends the life of the nation.

from removing the man. Clubs were
drawn by the deputies, and free fight
ensued. 1t looked for time as IL the
officers would be killed, but patrol
wagon arrived with reinforcements and
the arrested sailor was taken to Jail.
When the patrol left the crowd again
attacked the officers with pick handles,
gas pipes and other weapons. The of.
ficers got away and the wounded were
picked up.
