COMPARISON OF SUB, TREASURY
AND NATIONAL BANKING
SYSTEM.

Our friends, the bankers, would do
viii to note the following points of
comparison bet the S~ub-Treasury
plan and the national banking system.
They both involve the cOllaterals With
the government to secure the redemp
ton of the note issued by the govern
ment as money. Both involve paper
promises to pay, printed by the gov
eminent, and Intended to circulate as
money. Both involve the payment Of
interest to the government at the rate
OF l per cent. per annum for the use Of
the money. In both systems the gov
eminent guarantees the redemption of
the bills. In the national banking sys-
tenn. however, the government receives
its own prOmtssOry bonds as collateral,
but does not inerease it's assets thereby
to the value Of any thing. 1t simply
decreases its liabilities to the amount
Of 10 per cent, the difference between
the amount of new promises to pay
and the amount of the old mes de-
posted. In the Sub Treasury plan,
however, the new issue is added to the
liability of the government, and at the
same time a like amount and 25 per
cent. more is added to the available
assets In the shape of wheat and cot
ton, exchangeable for gold in the
principle market of the world. South

pointed at Our last regular meeting Of
Trent Alliance, NJ 1874, TO draft e
IutiOns,
ReSoic.d. That we heartily endorse
our worthy President, L, L. Polk, and
will stand by him as long as he a sup
port the Ocala platform. We endorse
the Ocala platform from beginning to
end. We cannot support any n that
will not come to II demands.
81. That we believe that the Of
the low prices Of products is by the
scarcity of the currency In circulation.

Sd. That we favor the low tariff but
do not think hat alone will bring re-
lief.
4th. That we consider the present
national banking system both ruinOus
and injurious to the farmer and labor
ing classes, and we do demand the re
peal of the present banking system, also
we demand q return to the old banking
system prior to the last war.
5th. That we are opposed to sending
any delegate to the national convention
who is not in favor of the free coinage
of silver, or who will cast his vote for
any candidate for the presidency who
is opposed to the free coinage of silver,
We recommend that the Senators and
President be elected by the popular
vote of the people. We demand that
United States bonds be taxed as other
property, as we consider this class leg
|islation and we request our representa-
tives and Senators in Congress to intro
duce and have passed a bill to that
effect.
These resolutions we unanimously
adopted at a regular meeting of Trent
Alliance, No. 1874, Dec 10Th, 1891.

Mr.. EDITOR:-For the benefit 8nd
encouragement of the brethren, 1 wish
to say that l have saved at least 25 per
cent. on some articles in buying
through our State agency. Brethren,
this is one of our plans to save middle

turer and consumer together. Brethren,
let us patrOnize our own business
agency, and thus encourage and
strengthen the Alliance cause and thus
help to accomplish one very important
part of the work which we as Alliance
men have undertaken. Bro. w. H.

duty, and [ am gratified to know, that
he is succeeding ~splendidIy. In fact,
he is just the man for the place-One

SOCIETY IN BIG CITIES,

What it is Like.

Fanons Social Leaders to Tell Exactly
What it is Like.
The social life in our large cities is
one of the most fascinating studies in
the world. The women who comprise
1t are naturally the most beautiful and
the most brilliant of their sex. Never
have we, however, seen this whirl Of
society through the eyes of those who
are its leaders. We have seen it from
the outside, as it were, but now we are
to have glimpses of it from the inside.
During 1892, The Ladies' Home Jour-
nal will give it's readers these glimpses
In a series OF Interesting articles under,
the title Social Life at Six Cents"
Mrs. Burton Harrison, the author Of
The AnglOmaniacs," is to write of
Social Life in New York" and nom
can speak of it with so much authority
as she who Is one of its social leaders.
Mrs Admiral Dahlgren will portray
" Washington Society, " and Mrs. Annie
de koven, daughter of Senator Farwell,
will write of Social Life in Chicago"
Then Boston, Philadelphia and San
francisco will follow. These articles
VIII tell exactly what social life in a
great city means, how dinners are
arranged and given; how the women
dreSs II act; the etiquette of the best
parlors; what the daily life of a society
woman means; how girls reintr0duced
INTO the social swim and make their
debut, and the other hundred and one
things which are most interesting to
read and know about in social life and
warfare. The Journal series will be a
splendid one, without question, and
will give Thousands a new idea of what
it means to be lin society" in the
largest cities of our land.

Elderly persons tell surprising stories OF

Science says that still further than this,

consideration that the poisonous products
of the action of disease producing bacteria
in the infectious diseases may be got rid OF
by washing them out, a few physicians
have tried the administration of drinks in
very great quantities-much more than
the patients would voluntarily call for.
For instance, DR.. Valentino, of konigs

fever patients milk, bouillon and water in
quantities that would appear impractical

and TO increase the diuretic effect. The
results, we are told, are surprising The
patients were more comfortable than be
fore the beginning Of the treatment, and
all the cases terminated favorably.

ARSENIC IN WAL PAPER.

The Prevalent Idea of It's Dangers.
Scientists Say There Is Nothing in It.
In popular address before the New

Chandler recently considered the subject
of Arsenic in Common Life" Among
other things he proceeded to explode the
widely prevalent idea concerning the dan

News reports Professor Chandler as saying
that he hal himself believed III it without
ever making any special investigation up
TO the time when his duties in connection
with the b0tr,i Of health required him to
make il special study. He then found
that the idea had been started by a bot
anist, and that il was based on the most
tiimsy reasoning. He next made some ex-
periments in the laboratory by passing air
over sheets OF paper-some moist and 9th
ers dry-coated with Paris green. Not a
trace Of arsenic was found in this air.
A case of supposed arsenical poisoning
