WflFsome* IxmIv show how this condition of affairs could by obviated, as its pass age at the • next session of • CojJgiv.sC would give the republicans an dn- deffnitc lease of power. • • 6. Another argument in favor of linnee has in suggesting the plan is to find some method by w hich money can come direct lo the people, instead of coming as now through a specially favored class of people eal lad'tia.nk^v >. We w ish to do away, if '^Kri^de, with this class of . middle men. who, make a profit by passing on the peo ple’s money to the people. A way shou-d be found to let the people have their money, the money they authorized their government to make for their use, without the intervention of agency of any class, who arc al- ‘ lotveiMo make private gains by hand ling the .public fund; Again the sub-treasury proposes an elastic cnrrotiftv jftat Cj>6u<d. be ..e6SH''ol]ed,' t (i'i^wtc1fIr,'or enlarged) bv% tyfoss of siK'Ciilatoro for private iwofitstliut will ehlafAfe irndCmdraet ^ ilf u11 * VCr - V ,10IU,r 01 according to the work it htts tiltfdishiirsements have been raised hv V, r equality for all, spceiaTprivileges,forj its passage is the aitsurd statement none. The main purpose the-'^>tiuit tin* (Soveniuient loans money to Bankers, thereby favoring this class at the expense of the people. The (rovevi UH'iit never lends a single dollar fo any individual, and any statement to the contrary is nipjiiaii* liedly false., f. Still another groundless reason for its passage, and this is one the Freeman touches on, is the idea of getting into the hands of the jM'ople without the intervention of hankers, the money they authorize the fiowrn nfsit to make for tlieir use. The fimacy of this is easily showii when tlm fact i.- remembefed that flu- <!<» eminent haS never made any milnev at all and’that every'dollar of a time after the close of the struggle, their-condition is, in all essential respects, better than it ever has been, mid that ciigihly hxtated land is not to be had except at a very high price. Of course wo fife nut unmindful of the present unfortunate season, hut dhis is only tcnqiornry, ami will not, ■except i'u the imagination of ’ a few, result in any distress. “Any anti-Allianee man that i? hotter tlian the Kj'eemau in tiic,light, for h’ai'iff ri form gets had.by tl|osc carrying mixiat stock BOYS - C LOTH1^0 A CARD. you’ll certainty tic pleascit with tlic stock I am showing this season.

We. hoi h; our friend of The Her vi.h will excuse us for not .staling other point* of interest in the sub-treasury plan, as we have very limited space. It is our purpose to discuss from time to time all the demands of the Ocala platform and tu point out harmony and inter-depenuence of all tlieoe demands with and upon each other. It is certainly a platform of great demoeratie principles and em bodies among other things'- ‘he most radical anil progressive jdan of tariff reform and reduction that has ..vyep luxm ott'eivd by tiny coHnidcrahh: bu.dt of citizens to the American 'people fo- legislative action.—SuAiter Free man. - ’ ’ !
