At The Meeting Of The Farmer's

liance in Indianapoüs, the anti-subtreasury men, although beaten in the convention, prepared a platform which will undoubtedly do much to free the farmers of the south and west from someoftheir delusions. They eay of the proposed government loan and goverument ownership of the railroads: "These schemes are unconstitutional, impracticable, conflicting with the spirit of the alliance movement, and tending to government paternalism and state socialism. The progress and prosperity of the individual, as also the stability and beneficence of social institutions, must be left by any free government to individual thought, effort and enterprise. Any other system would dwarf the individual and abnornially magaify the governmeut. Instead of relief from present oppression the measurcü jiromise greater evils. The seheme would be partial to certain classes, lnvolving business details too deep for the average farmer; attendant expenses would make the market price of money higher, and would open an aveuue for sharpers to trade upon the farmer's hard earned goods and product? ■ The market would be ovcrloaded with produce, putting down the value of commodities, and raising taxation. Alabama, Mississippi and Missouri furnished examples of how i schemes similar ;to the sub-treasury project failed sigually. The land loan seheme, beyond promising a low rate of interest, presents no favorable features, the expense of maintenancebeingenormoup. Government ownership of railroads implies one of the two other schemes. Either the government must take railroads from owners by force, or buy them for more than they areworth. It would foster political corruption, and would be an arbitrary interference witli private rights in many senses." Pkimers of Republican ballots in New York state had better take care after tbis, Ihat the type is properly planed down. In Duchesa county an "em quad" left an impression upon thirty-one ballols, and the Demócrata threw thetn out because they were "marked!" It is by such sharueful, infatnous trickery as this that Dave Hill and bis following of bums and thugs have reversed the will of the people in several counties. Talk about larceny, defalcation and forgeriet! No mau betterdeeerves the stripes of Sing Sing than Pavid B. Hill.thepet ofTammany Hall. ■
