and strongly sugar coated, it's fiiinaa
nauseating. Let us examine this II.

principles formulated and demands
by the Alliance long before the Pe0nIsS
party was organized. Now this a6Ts
is evidently aimed at the Alliance a.
the Peoples party LIS largely composd
of Alliancemen. Abuse in the place
argument is one of the ingredients that
compose this pill, abuse lin disguise
OF the Alliance. Let us examine ta
second ingredient. The Alliance d
mands financial reform as set FORTH
the Sub Treasury plan, or sometime
better. The Democratic national Dl8E
form ignores this demand entirely, but
Mr.. Coke, a leader Of Democrats
thought and principles, in a speech q

on State banks and let the owners Of
land combine, form a company, and
issue scrip, three dollars for each doll

fair rate of interest. Now if this is mol

those who borrow this scrip, while tF
Sub Treasury plan would bind eVa!
dollars worth of property in the Unla1
for it's redemption.
The Alliance demands the free CON
age of silver. The Democratic natl0l
al platform offers the following: W.
hold to the use of both gold and sllVa
as the standard money of the count!
and the coinage of both gold and slVs
without discriminating against eltna
metal or charge of coinage for mining
but the dollar unit of coinage OF Oa
metals must be of equal intrinsic az
exchangeable value to be adJuss
