Jacob Florea, Of Knox Couhty.
writes to the Edna Independent SO
follows:
We Us members Of the Alliance
snow what kind of legislation we
want by consulting cur demands.
1st, Abolish national banks. 2nd
Give Us money at 2pcrccnt, We mort
age our grain and lands for it, 3rd,
We ask free coinage of silver. Eth,
Prohibiting alien ownership of land.
We further demand the election 81
our y. S. Senators by the people.
Brothers, the question now for us
to solve is who proposes to do
this for lis. The Republicans stands
by the present monetary system and
have remained the same for these ma
ny years. The democrats arc and
have endorsed the money system.
CleveIand's comptroller is quoted rs
saying i've have the hest monetary
>, stem this or any other government
ever saw" In further proof, David
B. Hill said, first pass no free coin
age bill" Grover Cleveland said.
''frec saoinnge is dangerous expert
| ment.' Benjamin Harrison said,
"the free coinage Of silver would
disastrously effect our business inter
ests al home and abroad" John Shcr-
man sai.! Il expect to stand in oppo-
sition to the free coinage proposition
because think it Il practical tinanci-
al revolution Of the whole system" P"
The d, mocrats have had majority
in congress since lS:.2-for is or l..
years, and the Republicans since
t!,cn :, majority in the Senate for at
least / years, anil every person knows
. it takes :, niH nTity of both houses
and signature of the President for any
thing to become a law
Now | ask in all candor, can you
reasonably expect from either old
party any Of our demands to be en-
acted into law? Modern Democracy
upho|ls national banking system
Consistency. thou art Il jewel. Jack
| son. pure Democrat voted the char
tcring of national banks. Primatiye
Democracy, now listen to primative
Republicans. S. p. Chase: The
panking system has built up 4 mono

before this can 'se accomplished the
people will be :;rrtycd ON one side
and the banks GA the other in con
test such we have never seen in this
