IS in tho Alliance movement, but time
aud space will not permit. In conclusion
l will say that the Alliance movement is
a justiliable and patriotic uprising of the
agricultural class against oppressive con-
| ditions, against concentrated capital
| which demands too much frcm the hand
OF labor, il movement solid against the
political manipulation, the spokesman.
The Alliance believes that when the
Government falls into unworthy and IN.
patriotic hands it is the duty of all classes
to insist that a change is necessary for
the sood OF the people. That when its
representatives fail to represent the whole
people there should be others substituted
in their places.
The Alliance to succeed must keep out
of the order OF the political spokesman.
and every thing OF political nature.
This will be its greatest trouble and
It's greatest danger. The Alliance is
not organized to pull down but to build
up, not against any class, only condi-
tons, it has found what they are AID it
is in to defend them.
Either of the political parties to sue.
coed in 1892 will require the endorse
ment OF tho farmers organizations. 1t
may be that the Alliance movement is
the iorerunner of new party. The
party which sins in 1892 by whatever
name called, will be strictly National
party aud The people will not be wrong.

System, expressing his opposition to the
proposed system Is being class legisla

Ia reply to tho question oilSS5T<sr-ondon
Mr.. Ewing exp aln5Sss1S--,csisfy lbe objects
OF TIE Ig--rriiTTCe, that the sub Treasury
system was an old measure based upon
the successful working of the system in
France, where ali classes of producers
were entitled to it's benefits, although
the products of the farm are now only
embraced in its provisions:
Mr.. Henry Coudon's objection to
the Alliance was based solely upon its
discriminative character as proposing
relief to one class Of producers only.
.ir. john Il, Baud discussed the sub
Treasury plan at some length, his OBJ
jec5iOn to the proposed plan being that
it contemplated tie Government becom-
ing something OF the nature Of broker
in the grain market aud dealer in
margins, which was not within its srue
province. H0 believed that the prices of
agricultural products like all others,
we're primarily subject to the natural
laws Of supply and demand, and were
therefore in Il limited sense SELF reguIat-
ing.
