We publish this week the bill
proposed by Hon. Barnett Gibbs as
. substitute for the sub-treasury
scheme. This bill is offered as q
Democratic compromise with the
Alliance idea. Without discus
sion OF the subject, we believe this
bill, or something similar to it. will
eventually harmonize all difference
between the Democratic party and
the Alliance. Our position is that
the farmers have no interest In
politics outside of the Democratic
party; that In the Democratic par
ty they can accomplish all of their
aims, except the sub-treasury-the
line OF difference being drawn on
this one issue alone. And we feel
confident that as soon as the intel
ligent, industrious and practical
farmers OF the country can meet |
and discuss matters, free from the |
blatant agitators who expect to boil |
to the top in a political revolution,
they will see the good common |
sense In assuring themselves of
success by uniting with the party

The advocates and adherents Of
third party protest against the
assertion that only two great par.
ties can occupy and divide the
field of American politics, at one
and the same time, and that the
history of third parties has been
q history of failures, by pointing
to tho Republican party and as,
sorting with more or less positive
ness that the "third" party has
ever been a wrecking party. This
because, to the casual observer
and superficial reader of political
history, the Republican party was
wrecked-what?

ting to survey the field Of Ameri-
can political history and ascertain
the fate of sthird" parties.

OF all these, the Prohibitio,
party alone welded any important
influence, but as in the case Of the
Liberty party, it gave the victory
to the enemies of the cause it had
championed
The Free Soil party alone ever
had the shadow of q reason for
being, but it met with no popular
demand. It polled 291, 600 votes
IN l848 and in 1852 only l56, 900.
In neither canvass did it secure an
electoral vote.
The Globe Democrat, unoues-
tionable authority on matters per-
tanning to the Republican party,
says:
"The Republican party was
nevsr e third" party for the SIM
pie and conclusive reason that in
1856, when it first appeared on the
national stage, it was the only real
competitor which confronted the
Democracy. After the canvass Of
1851 the Wing and Free Soil par
ties went to pieces and never
again appeared in the national
arena. Most of the Southern
Wings joined the Democracy b.
cause of the passage of the Kan |
sas-N Nebraska bill of 1866, which |
virtually threw the territories omen |
10 slavery. The Northern W6ies |
and those Northern Democrats |
Who opposed slavery united in
IN organization which ultimately
adopted the name Republican and
n 1856 nominated Fremont for the
Presidency. It was an entirely
lew party. All the old parties
which had battled against the
Democracy had vanished and this
me appeared in its place. Men
vho had hitherto been in opposing
losts now found themselves ia
he same camp. The Know Moth
ng was the only party which ap-
'eared in 1856 outside of the Dem
cratic and Republican orQanizs-
ions In that canvass the Know
lothings secured 8 electoral
otes, the delegation from Mary :
