Government Esankinr.

The only time that this government
ever knew prosperity for it's people
was when individual banking was en-
tirely knocked out. and when the GOV
eminent did the banking. It was
then for the first time although in
the midst Of a bloody civil war, that
the American people as o people ever
knew equal rights. 1t was then and
no other time before or since that all
debts were universally paid, and that
the people as body were prosperous.
NO bank this side OF heaven should
issue money or control the circula-
ton of the peoples exchange except
the government of the people This
is boosted land OF the free with toll
gates of oppression and extortion in
nearly every town. This oppression
is more bitter on progression in bust
ness matters than the great civil war
was This system makes debt five
times as fast as the war did. The
people have been free but now are
under bonds the continuation of
which seems to last forever. This in
equality ana control of the money and
prices makes the millionaires. every
one of them, out of the laborers toll:
it makes the dishonest officials,
makes the millions of fail
ures. and creates debt beyond
comprehension of the common
voter of the country. 1t makes nearly
all the paupers in this broad land.
The time has come when the truth
must be told and heedcd entirely dis
regarding selfshness or idolatry to
party utilization. If any government
gives the issuance of money into the
hands OF a few it has at least partly
ceased to be the government. for the
money has the dealing that makes or
unmakes men and women. Its pres
ence equally and honestly distributed
makes prosperous communities, good
citizens, happy homes and an indus
trious people. The dishonest UNEQUAL
distribution Of money makes crime;
makes knaves and sharpers every
where, and licenses highway robbery
to the stealing of whole railroads and |!
public domain enough to make ma
ton. With discounted money, gov
ernment bonds and national banks
came this condition OF things. Let
him who savors the truth say this is
not the condition of things if he can

| Senator Dolph. OF Oregon. went out
OF his way in q recent debate to attack
the land-loan and sab treasury plan.
In SO doing he displayed to some ex-
tent the vast fund of ignorance for
! which he is noted. He said:
That OF all the schemes which had
been advocated for the relief of the
farmers the scheme known as the SUBJ
treasury bill, scheme for the issue of
an indefinite amount of government
notes to be loaned by the government
| upon real estate security at low rate
OF interest was the most visionary and
the most impracticable He could con-
ceive OF nothing more certain to de-
stroy the credit of the government to
depreciate its notes and its obligations
and bring financial ruin upon this
country than that scheme. If the sub
treasury should be adopted, and the
government notes should depreciate
to % cents on the dollar in gold. a.
bushel of wheat may be worth s. in
the deprecated currency when it
would bring only Is cents in gold. If
deprecated currency became a
measure of value in this country, gold
or silver (the value of which are fixed
by the worlds demand, and the move
ments of which could not be controlled
by legislation) would seek investment
elsewhere. and the business of this
country would be conducted on the
basis OF cheap money furnished by
the government.
In these statements is found a want
OF knowledge concerning the subject
under discussion that is certainly
criminal in man who pretends to.
represent in part the interest of
great state. 1t will be seen at a
glance that he knows nothing of the
SUB treasury plan. and has doubtless
never read the bill. There is hardly
member of the order that could not
show up the absurdity of this state
ment In regard to real estate loans
the senator exhibited peculiar want
OF information regarding even his own
state that is distressing. He failed to,
say that in his own state the school
[und amounting to nearly So. 600. 900
IS loaned out on land security. and has
proven very satisfactory. He failed
70 mention that this method of loan
ng the state funds had been estab-
lshed after careful consideration by
The very people whom he represents,
md the results have been such as TO-
encourage other states to do the same.
The senator should post up on this
natter National Economist.

The Southern Alliance Farmer: The
Alliance will not become a.political
party. nor the kite to any political or
ganization. It will hold itself in tack

point in the science Of government

Why is it that nearly all the bust

ing energy to assure defeat of all the
plans undertaken by the farmers for
relief? 1t can not be possible that all
these people are ignorant of the fact
that upon the prosperity of agriculture
depends their thrift apd success. II,
may be that they ascribe their present
unfavorable prospects to some other
cause and the reason they pursue the
course they follow, is because they do
not understand the problems as those
who have studied it more closely and
comprehend all its details; but what
ever may be the cause, certain it
IS that they are acting contrary to
their own interest and seeking to
damage themselves by upholding the
present systems which are dragging
all to the same vortex of bankruptcv
and ruin. In some instances. inves.
tigation of the causes and efforts 10

problems have made them more con-
slderate, and, in a few instances, in
accord with the plans, purposes and
objects OF the farmers But it would
seem a difficult problem for them
to answer the question: Why is il
that a class dependent absolutely
upon the prosperity Of another class
for success should exert all their
power and influence to defeat and
thwart all efforts for relief, when the
relief sought would inure as much to
their benefit as to the producers and
aborers who seek it. Alliance Her

The Salt Lake Tribune says: Hon.
A. @. Cleveland went away yesterday
morning he will be back after q few
days. As is well understood, that for
several months he has been working
on . scheme looking to the building Of
a railroad between this city and San

best hope Of a road to the Coast lies in
that direction. We know that up to
this time, while no noise has been
made, a great deal OF faithful work has
been performed q survey has been
made that cuts the coast range Of
mountains and finds an easy grade
from Oakland to the Straits of Car
quinez thence on to Sacramento; and
the work is now going on to determine
whether II is best TO proceed directly
to Oroville and then up the North
Fork OF Feather River, OF TO turn TO
the foothills from Marysyille, thence
up the Fork Of the Feather and on 10
Beckwith Pass.
The work has all been going on
noiselesely, and 30 far IL il merely en-.
perimental. The men engaged in II
do not wish to be advertised, because
they are not sure that they will finally
accomplish the object desired, but
we know that they are work
ing in great good faith; that
the enterprise has q more solid backing
than any other enterprise Of the kind

justifes the people Of this city in hsv.

business to publish even this much,
but We know how anxious the people
are, and we do not see any harm in
explaining that the matter will result
in q certainty. In addition, il may be
said that just now there is q feeling OF
great unrest in California and Q hall
disposition TO believe that part Of the
depression in California is due to the
fact that one great monopoly owns all
the transportation lines OF that State,
and men feeling that way, with the
great State OF California behind them,
have more to work upon than people
at this end. where capital Ia limited
