An exchange says; We are waiting for
an over production Of money to move the
over production of crops to pay off the
over production of debts, and to feed
and clothe the over production OF people.

The Bevier (AIo) Appeal says: EARN
ers and laboring men in general go to
work and elect the idlers and enemies Of
labor into power, who, in turn, go to
work and enact laws to rob and fleece
the very ones who gave them power to
! do so, and for years the farmer wage
workers have meekly and uncomplain-
ingly submitted to them"

The Arkansas (Searcy) Economist says
| "Why there should not be perfect una
nimity Of sentiment between the mer.
| chant and farmer with regard to financial
| reform we fail to see. What benefits the
| latter must benefit the former. The
! prejudice which has arisen should be put
aside, and they should stand together in
the great battle for an increase of the
currency"

The Alliance Echo kansas City, Mo-
says: "The farmer pays the taxes If he
lies his neighbors will tell the assessor,
and he is caught up with, but his bro her
in the city is sent blank to fill out, and
he writes as much or as little as he
| pleases and swears to 1t and returns it.
If he has a palace home with costly
furniture and rooms elegantly furnished
from cellar to garnet. worth $25, 900, he
gives it in at from SO, 600 to $4,000 If
he has cash and bonds to The amount of
$40, 600 he will not return a cent Should
he have large sum of money deposited
In the banks he draws it out, takes a
certificate check and has the cashier hide
it away in his vaults till the assessment
is taken. Hence the burden of taxation
falls upon the farmer who can't well
evade the law. il he is so disposed, or
upon the poorer classes in the city who
have houses and lots that can't be COW
cred up"
The Alliance Sentinel [Rogers, Ark. y
says. There is one glazing, monstrous
sast, that the people will not fail to fully
realize, and that is, that in all the
assaults that the opposition make against
the sub-treasuly plan, scheme or PROPOSE
ton, it has not presented one single line
for the relief of the people. They con-
denim the sub-treasury but offer nothing
in its stead. The Alliance asks for the
adoption of the sub treasury plan or some
other proposition that is as good, for the
people must have relief, and that speedily;
this is fact that will be realized by all
the people. The power of contraction
has done its terrible work, and the people
are groaning under its oppression, and
they must have relief. Therefore, if the
subtr-easury plan will not meet the
emergency, gentlemen of the opposition,
present some other plan that will be
equally as good in meeting the necessities
of the people. Be assured the Alliance
will hold on to the sub-treasury plan
until some other plan as good or better
is presented"

FROM LOUISIANA.
A New Orleans dispatch says: The
call of the dissatisfied members of the
Farmers Alliance for third party con-
veptiop, to meet at Alexandria, October
End, has proved a political surprise to
all. A large element in the alliance were
dissatisfied with the Lafayette combina-
tion made by the state alliance with the
aDti-lottery democrats some weeks ago.
Thew appealed to President Polk, who
sided with them, and, backed by this
decision, they have determined to hold
q convention next month and place an
entire independent state ticket in the
field. This will complicate matters a
great deal, and will prove a severe blow
to the anti-lottery cause. 1t will place
three tickets in the feld-democratic
alliance and republican. and possibly
four. 1t will probably hurt the anti
lottery people, since it will lose them
great many farmers, who will go off in
this third party movement

NOVEL. sUBTrTUTE.
The Laurens Adce5fiser, which has
been lighting the sub-treasruy bill, has
been asked to suggest a subtitute, and
the following is given as its plan which
lie claimed to be at least ''better than the
sub-treasury:' Following out the de-
mand of the Ocala platform, let the gov
CiAuicut ISSUE DOuus hL reasonable rate
OF interest to the extent Of 5000, 600, 600,
and buy the railroad and telegraph lines.
Then let the government issue paper
currency redeemable in railroad pas
sage or freight, or telegraph toll
limited to the estimated amount of
travel, hauling and message sending
likely to accommodate the population.
10 illustrate, a bill OF u certain denomi-
nation presented to government train
conductor would call for passage ten,
thirty or 100 miles, or for carrying bale
Of cotton specified distance, say from
Laurens to Richmond. The government
should, OF course, make such bills legal
tender, and receive them in payment of
NIL taxes and import duties. Gold, sill
yer and greeubacls might be kept in cir
culation just as they are now, fixed
standard of value of each to each other
and to the new currency having been
ascertained."
