The alliance sub-treasurv nlan
largely owes its popularity to the vim
dlctive opposition which has heeh con-
stantly waged against il by both old
parties, The horrible principles which
1t was said to contain, and the direful
results which were to follow its adon-
ton, were held up to view in the most
odions manner. In fact it was so ex-
tensively advertised that everybody
was anxious to see it, with the natural
result that the farmers should favor the
plan. while the speculators and nom
producers look upon it as the worse
thing that could happen to them.-Al.

these that the price is kept down The
extraordinary demand for wheat this
year will be at least 100. 900, 600 more

from previou crops is practically re-
