as was shown way ; hack in the seventies when the firm of jay cooke & co hankers had a lot ol j government securities that were coun terfeited in precisely that manner secretary foster has decided to

secretary windoni did a j similar thing with the 6 per cent i bonds maturing in that year contin uing them at 3 per cent this tic | tion is regarded by many as a nit of favoritism toward the national bank but it is claimed that it is to be done 1 because the money will be needed and thai it is not known whether the ; hanks will care to keep their bonds ai a reduced rate of interest that is stuff nor a hank will surrender their j bonds until they are obliged to the government printing office is in a fern.e.it some copies of the at torney general's brief which was to day submitted to the

were no purchasers as nobody seemed to place any value upon obtaining an advance copy of the brief but all the same a most vigorous investigation is being made for the purpose of discov ering the leak as the confidential doc ument printed at the government printing office if preuiaturelypublished might do incalculable harm sin domingo has an agent here who is extremely anxious to negotiate a reciprocity treaty with us he is authorized tu give the united states a coaling station in lhe s.imcan bay and if the the telegraphed news of our ; failure to secure a coaling station from liayti he true that may help him wonderfully iu his negotiation the count of the treasury couse vaent upon the induction of a new treasurer began tins morning and will lake all the time of about.seventy live employes for ten days or tliere aiioui.s secretary proctor last week awarded lhe largest single contract evpr given harbor improvement lo a dallas texas firm it was for improving the en trance to galveston harbor and the amount of the bid was 3,469,710 the sub-treasury plan whatever may be said against the sub-treasury plan by the opponents of the alliance the scheme is becoming more popular every day and one of the priucipal objections to it — that of class legislation is dissipated when it is fully understood tiie principle upon which it would work and the | benefits that would accrue to the labor 1 ing men in the consuming centres has enlisted the co-operation of the other labor organ iz ttions in it favor the plan in question is to establish sub treasuries in every agricultural county where farmers can get money atone per cent per annum leaving agricul tural products of a staple character as security upon which the farmer would receive 80 per cent of its actual value at the time these farm products are stored in a warehouse and will be kept by the government for one year the farmers receiving a warehou-e certifi cate or receipt smd receipt being nego tiable i's advantages are plain and can be seen at a glance the benefit to the individual farmer is obvious at once it is a well established fact that i the average farmer rs pressed for money right after harvest having handled bul j little money for a year he is in debt more or less and creditors are cr i i ing him for their pay under these cirscu instances he is compelled to haul ' his produc e to market and take what ever the grain broker sees lit to give him for cash he has got to have no matter how low the price no.v the farmer is compelled to sell when every one else is selling and as a rule he is compelled to take the lowest price ol the year now this sub-treasury plan would make the farmer a capitalist on a small scale and enable him to wait for a raise since he would have re ceived 80 per cent of the value of his products and would yet b its owner and any advance in price would inure t.i his benefit now as to the custo mers it is always against the best in terests of the public at large who con sume the farmers 1 products to have great fluctation*i iu price during the year but as it is nmv the farmer is in necessity forced to sell iu the fall ami all his pro lace then go's into the hands of the speculator ami it is to his i individual gain to enhance the price as much as possible artificially without any rvgar i to the natural laws of i ;> ply ami demand thus it is thai the mi idle men brokers and sh irp specu lators gain fvwe to beat down the prit e received by the farmer then j combine to raise the piice enormously high to ! in final consumer thus we see as aff tirs are now run these cun ning schemer win do no productive work at all grow wonderfully rich by robbing the consumers of their labor this tin natural condition of aff iirs is against public policy justice and right and against the well-being of the fanners and consumer iirdivi iualy and collectively this plan is iu the interest of producer and consumer and in justice to them it should become a law these two great classes have of late discovered that they are one in | interest and that the only hope of tiie laborer to get out from tne bondage of these speculator sharks is to get nearer the farmer and aid each other in se , curing recognition by congress of wise and just legislation free press \\ iu field kan a curious coincidence speaking of coincidences said the man with the wooden leg as he lighted a half-consumed cigar he had been carrying in an old haudkeichief speaking of coincidence gentlemen ! can teil you a very singular thing 1 was going up niagara street in buf falo when ! saw a man with a wooden leg mi tin other side of the street coining down we looked across at ' ea li other and stopped says i to myself and says he lo himself that fellow lost his leg al the bat tle of gettysburg or i'm a sinner well 1 ' aske i one of the group we looked at each other across the street for a moment and then says i 1 to myself and says he to himself : i'll strike him for a quarter and an : old comrade and fellow-sufferer will shell on well very curious coincidence gentlemen ! — very curious 11 continued the man as he puffed away at his old stub we met ou the cross-walk we shook '[ hands we strrck each other for a ' quarter bnt didn't get it we were both dead broke neither of us was i iii the battle of gettysburg or in any . other battle then says i to myself ' and s lys he to himself blast his oyv but he's a traveling on his shape and telling a tale of woe and lie's no man for me to associate with and so we walked off i clou t like coincidences myself there s no money in em ' what's a newspaper fake w hy we supposed everybody knew that a newspaper fake was anything start ling printed by the opposition paper exclusively when we print similar matter it is known as a scoop on the other paper see j alliance principles straight by i e d2\_t hojteote falls x y i have been cautioned many times by men who seemed anxious to have alliances organized against mention ing farm loans or the sub-treasury bill as being favored by the alliance these voluntary suggestions have re sulted in every ease in causing me to give more time to the advocacy and il lustration of these relief measures ■""' i find the farmers are unanimous iu praying for both of these measures i cousider one as essential to the suc cess of the other that is the farm man bill as proposed by hon john davis of kan from the fact that unless something of this kind i.s not passed at the same time as the sub-treasury bill from which the industrial clashes wil secure the greatest relief shylock an ticipating the advance of theprica of real estate consequent upon the passage sage and effect of sub-treasury bill will foreclose his mortgage in order to reap the benefit of the advance himself an ! thus prevent the mortgaged farmers from securing the benefit of this in r heneficient measure and one which they are cert liuly entitled to with farm loans al one per cent and the sub-treasury bill becoming lhe law ar the sain ■i i ne let ns see how t av would affect not only the mortgaged fanners but ail kinds of industrial pursuits shylock a holds mortgage on parmer b'sfarm for 10,1 00 which is clue to-day farmer 11 is unable to ji iy the mortgage although his farm is acknowledged to h i w nth 1*15.000 if a ft r ■-. i - mortgage he must have farmer i declare 1 bankrupt and at i is own expense secure a proper ib ir icl of title map etc together with c rtificate of county clerk and comity treasurer under their seal and -< ; ia . ture showing value of same when shylock a hits been to all his expense aud trouble he will get his money and costs and farmer l will gel his mort jr g e renewed for 20 years at 1 per cent the same rale that the govern ment has loaned from three to four hundred millions to the banks for the last twenty-seven years x'»w si lock knowing that this would i . . goes lo fanner a and say vou do not want to be declared a bank rupt nor d \ oi v ant to b ither \\ it h a j iveriuneut loan and if you will continue your loan with me i will i ; \ .. . have i he mom y at l per cent f ir : ai years 11 1 rc illy believe if such a bill should 1 ecome a law il would nol r - lit in increasing the cir culating medium 50,000,000 before in l en - - would be re luct 1 to 2 per cent the sub-treasury bill is essen ti d il en to enable t he farmer to sell his crops to the lest advantage by en abling him to secure enough on his crops as soon a harvested to roe t lhe actual expenses in cash and allow him to secure the average price of the year for all that he raises then he would be able to pay cash for everything he buys thereby saving 40 per cent on the present retail prices on all agricul tural implements and a large saving on everything else purchased for the family in case of combinations the sub-treasury bill will enable the pro ducers of a whole state to seil their products through a single agency and at the same time vi:l enable them to secure such statistics as will assure their ales to the best advantage every other interest is organized and a comparatively few men dictate the price the

every day and one of the priucipal objections to it — that of class legislation is dissipated when it is fully understood tiie principle upon which it would work and the | benefits that would accrue to the labor 1 ing men in the consuming centres has enlisted the co-operation of the other labor organ iz ttions in it favor the plan in question is to establish sub treasuries in every agricultural county where farmers can get money atone per cent per annum leaving agricul tural products of a staple character as security upon which the farmer would receive 80 per cent of its actual value at the time these farm products are stored in a warehouse and will be kept by the government for one year the farmers receiving a warehou-e certifi cate or receipt smd receipt being nego tiable i's advantages are plain and can be seen at a glance the benefit to the individual farmer is obvious at once it is a well established fact that i the average farmer rs pressed for money right after harvest having handled bul j little money for a year he is in debt more or less and creditors are cr i i ing him for their pay under these cirscu instances he is compelled to haul ' his produc e to market and take what ever the grain broker sees lit to give him for cash he has got to have no matter how low the price no.v the farmer is compelled to sell when every one else is selling and as a rule he is compelled to take the lowest price ol the year now this sub-treasury plan would make the farmer a capitalist on a small scale and enable him to wait for a raise since he would have re ceived 80 per cent of the value of his products and would yet b its owner and any advance in price would inure t.i his benefit now as to the custo mers it is always against the best in terests of the public at large who con sume the farmers 1 products to have great fluctation*i iu price during the year but as it is nmv the farmer is in necessity forced to sell iu the fall ami all his pro lace then go's into the hands of the speculator ami it is to his i individual gain to enhance the price as much as possible artificially without any rvgar i to the natural laws of i ;> ply ami demand thus it is thai the mi idle men brokers and sh irp specu lators gain fvwe to beat down the prit e received by the farmer then j combine to raise the piice enormously high to ! in final consumer thus we see as aff tirs are now run these cun ning schemer win do no productive work at all grow wonderfully rich by robbing the consumers of their labor this tin natural condition of aff iirs is against public policy justice and right and against the well-being of the fanners and consumer iirdivi iualy and collectively this plan is iu the interest of producer and consumer and in justice to them it should become a law these two great classes have of late discovered that they are one in | interest and that the only hope of tiie laborer to get out from tne bondage of these speculator sharks is to get nearer the farmer and aid each other in se , curing recognition by congress of wise and just legislation free press \\ iu field kan a curious coincidence speaking of coincidences said the man with the

d il en to enable t he farmer to sell his crops to the lest advantage by en abling him to secure enough on his crops as soon a harvested to roe t lhe actual expenses in cash and allow him to secure the average price of the year for all that he raises then he would be able to pay cash for everything he buys thereby saving 40 per cent on the present retail prices on all agricul tural implements and a large saving on everything else purchased for the family in case of combinations the sub-treasury bill will enable the pro ducers of a whole state to seil their products through a single agency
