A large Citizens Alliance club has
been organized in Indianapolis, Ind, and
a peoples Congress was also formed to
discuss the economic questions of the day.

Why call the Sub Treasury plan class
legislation when it will benefit at least 80
per cent. of our population2 Is there any
other law on our statutes that will bene-
fit as many2-Faulkner County Wheel.

The Peoples Journal (Anderson, Ind
says 1t was shown in the national
meeting of the Alliance that the Alliance
now has a larger and more active mem
bership than at any time since it was Or
ganized.
The Alliance representatives in Con-
gress stood nobly to their colors, not
voting for either Crisp or Reed, but for
one of their own number. May they
prove true to the trust imposed in them
is the one wish of their supp orters.-

The Toiler Nashville, TENN says:
The want of capital (money) is the great
barrier to our material progress. En-
glish capital is flowing in abundance at
10 per cent, yet our vast resources are
undeveloped and thousands of millions
of our wealth is being lost to the world
for the want of money to work with.

1t is contest between invested capital
and the vast army of wealth producers
and the lines are drawn in every city and
hamlet in the land. The mechanics and
laborers and smaller merchants of the
cities should speedily join the great army
of organized farmers in their effort to
emancipate the people from the money
power Weekly Republic.

This from the Alabama SELMA Minor:
"The sub-treasurv idea is in no senie
sectional, nor is it tinctured with favor to
any class. 1t is as broad rs the indus
tries of the people. The principle is that
industry shall furnish its products as Sc,
curity for the amount of money necessary
to carry on the business of the country,
the money to be Issued, directly by the
government to the people, ~"
The Western Advocate (Mankato, Kan
sas) says: Men who recognize the great
havoc that contraction has made with the
price Of land and farm products, should
not reject without due investigation and
consideration, all methods proposed to
remedy the evil The comments and
misrepresentation of the party press on
the subtreasury plan, should have no in
fuence on those who are seeking for the
truth. Let everyone give the plan honest
consideration.
The Arkansas Farmer Oittle Rock)
puts it thus: If every farmer in the
country could draw interest on what he
has as we'll as what he owes, and good
deal that his neighbor owes they would
be the most prosperous class OF all citi-
zens. This is just exactly Wat the ma
tioual bank does. The scheme is accur
ately and skillfully fixed up by the ma
tional government, and to make the
swiudle still better the whole capital in
the deal is practically exempt from any
taxation whatever.

The Charlotte Chronicle intimstes that
the North Carolina Congressman will do
pretty much as they please in Washing
ton, regardless of what the Alliance asks
them to do. In answer to the Chronicles
intimation the Progressive Farmer adds:
That is all right. They may do that
way. Several members of the Legislature
of 1889 did that way, too, but when the
roll was called they didn't answer the
next time an election was held. Our
Congressman are free men. The voters
can vote for whom they please next year.

The Arkansas Farmer little Rock)
says: The anti-sub- treasury committee
turned up at Indianapolis as expected.
A committee was appointed by President
Polk from the National Council to meet
them. Livingston, of Georgia, was the
chairman, and respectful attention was
given to DR.. Yeamans in his presentation
OF objections to the Ocala demands.
When he was through Livingston inform
ed him that the COMMITTEE was ready to
listen to better proposition, if they had
one to offer" This seemed to puncture
the anti-sub- treasury bubble, and the doc
tor said 'le had none to offer" This is
about the result of all such controversies.
They can object and condemn, but do
not suggest or propose something better.
