The Elkton Appeal, the staunchest
Republican paper of Cecil county,
speaks its mind in the following
strain:
/" Enough, however, is known to
disgust and sicken honorable Repub.
licans. The party has been trampled
under foot by these ofice-holders,
hunters and spoilsmen. Never before
in the history of the party has it been
SO utterly disgraced, and as far as this
state is concerned it exists only in
name. The party has been wrecked
in struggle Tor Federal patronage.
and now will present no opposition
whatever to the continued supremacy
of the Democratic party. 1t now lies
PROSTATE, and will never be revived
and made to stand erect until the or
ganization from Garrett to Somerset
county is wrested from the hands OF
spoilsmen and office-hunters. "

who confessed that they were not
prepared to vote intelligently upon
the questions in dispute. They
simply asked not to be forced to de-
clare themselves until they were bet
ter informed, and in Difference to
their wishes the questions Of differ
ence were referred back to the sub
unions for further discussion and in
Vestigation.
Second-The opposition was equal
ly as strong against the land loan as
the sub-treasury plan. Brother True
is an enthusiastic advocate of the
land loan plan, and supports it in the
article in the Farmer now under con-
sideration; and we submit that if the
opposition Of Missouri to the sub
treasury constitutes a sufficient res-
son for it's rejection, it furnishes an
equally good reason for the rejection
of the land loan, and Brother True's
measure, therefore, must fall by his
own argument.
Third-It must not be forgotten
that the advocates of the sub-treasury
and the land loan elected every Off
Ger Of the State Alliance, and every
delegate to the national council, so
that it does not appear that Missouri
ls on record as opposed to these
measures after all.
Fourth-The chief opposition to
these measures came from profes-
sional Democratic politicians, who
have been and still are bitterly op-
posed to the Peoples party, while
the advocates of these measures are
nearly solid for it. These bitter op-
ponents of the measure are likewise
regarded by the Missouri member
ship and by the membership general
ly as enemies to the order itself.
This is evident, not only from the
signal failure of the Hall and Nc
Allister snti-sub-tressury convention,
but also from the direct testimony Of
the Missouri state president. The
following is what he says in his Off
cial address:
desire to call your attention TO a meeting
denomlnated National Alliance Convention
that met In st. Louis on the 18th Of September
1891. This call was absolutely without and
against authority, so far as pertains to the Ma
tiOnal Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union,
with which we stand connected. No one but Oul
national president Is empowered TO call such {
The advocate., 1891-10-14

convention. and the basis Of the call Of this st.
Louis convention is simply and wholly In Opposi-
ton to our Alliance demands. 1t
is instlgated by our enemies, aud Is their last
deperate effort to disrupt our order.
The brand Of the old party is upon 1t. All who
will may see and read It.
We now call attention to another
error into which Brother True has
fallen. Speaking of Massachusetts,
he says:
have not forgotten how Signally the Missouri
Alliance failed to IndOrse IL, nor how the Peoples
party In Massachusetts did the same thing,
while they c0ncurred with the Cincinnati confer
ence In their resolution to form Peoples party.
They framed most admirable platform, with q
finance plank which made no allusiOn to sub
treasury in any form.
Is it possible that Brother True
wrote the above without having read
the Massachusetts platform? He
might have added with equal truth,
that this platform made no allusion
to land loan system in any form.
What are the facts? The very first
plank in the Peoples party platform
Of Massachusetts reads as follows:
That we endorse the action Of the conference
at Cincinnati, May 1920, 1891, proposing issues
upon uChich to form Peoples party.
They do not say, as Brother True
states, that ''they concur with the Gin
cinnsti conference in their resolution
to form Peoples psrty;' but they
endorse it's action sin proposing IS
sues UPON WHICH TO FORM a
Peoples party"
Now what are those issues which
the Massachusetts convention thus
endorses? The ones in which we are
at present interested read as follows:
That we most heartily endorse the demands Of
the platforms as adopted at st. Louis, Missouri,
In 1889; Ocala, Florida, In 1890, and Omaha, Me-
braska, In 1891, and Industrial organizations
| buOko AOpAooCuIOuS do AOuOWos
A-The right to make and issue money is
sovereign power to be maintained by the people
for the common benefit; hence we demand the
abolition Of national banks as banks Of issue,
and, as q substitute for national bank notes, we
demand that legal tender treasury notes be Is
sued In sufficient volume to transact the buH:
ness OF the country on cash basis, without
damage to any class or calling; such notes to be
legal tender In the payment Of all debts, public
and private; and such notes, when demanded
by the people, shall be loaned to them at not
more than 2 per cent. per annum on nOn-perisha-
BILE products, as indicated in the Sub-treasury
plan, and also upon real estate, with proper
limitation upon the quantity OF land and amount
OF money.

and then say that the Massachusetts

]. y. TRUE on THE sUB-TREAsURY.


Kansas Farmer Of October 7, contain
ing some illusions TO us and few
points to which we invite attention at
this time. He was present at the st.
Louis meeting and is probably cor
rect in his statement respecting the
time Of report of the monetary COM
mittee, and we shall not call in ques-
tion his statement concerning that
matter. However that may be, the
legistive committee Of the Knights of
Labor, appointed to act in conjunction
with the Legislative committee OF the
farmers Alliance & Industrial Union
at Washington to secure needed
Legislation, acted in harmony with
the latter committee and worked for
the sub-treasury bill at the last session
Of Congress. It is also a fact that
the sub-tressury plan has no more
ardent supporter in the United States
to-day than Ralph Beaumont. 1t is
also q fact that the Journal of the
knights of Labor, the official paper
Of the order in the United States, Is a
supporter of it, and we do not know
Of Knight Of Labor in the country
who is opposed to it. Does Brother
True know Of one?
We do not care, at this time, to
again 90 over the ground already
passed over in reference to the claims
that the sub-tressury plan calls for
class legislation, and that by it only
those who have products to be stored
would be benefited. These points
have already been sufficiently argued
from our stand point, and in our
Judgment the arguments remain un-
answered. What we propose at this
time is to correct a few misleading
statements in Brother True's article |
that we do not think should stand un-
challenged. He says "the warehouse
proposition was conceived in the
minds of men the products Of whose
farms are more susceptible Of being
stored in warehouses because they
have greater value in less bulk than
have the products of our farms in the
northwest. I sllude to cotton, rice,
tobacco and sugar"
Now as a matter of fact are not the
cereals of the northwest actually
stored to-day in warehouses to as
great an extent as the products named
by Brother Truel 1t appears to rs
that the main question involved is,
who shall own the wsrehouses-the
government or the individual; and
who shall reap the profit resulting
from warehousing and Withholding
these products from a glutted market
the producer or the Speculation. 1t
the present proprietorS of elevators
and warehouses regard these cereals
as good security upon which to ad-
vance money, las they certainly do,
because that is what they are doing
at the present time), why are they not
