A ma¬ jority of the papers which oppose the bill, intentionally and that maliciously there is re¬ fused to acknowledge a national order io the United States Known as the National Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Union, aud that the bill with all of its promises of good to tho people, eminated from this source. The sub-treasury plan proposes to give us a place where non-perishable farm products can be stored, and 80 per cent, of their value advanced upon them for a term of not more than one year. This will simply enable the farmers to be iupepenilent of speculators and mouo.pc'Ksts and pat them in a position toobtaiq such a price a - - the legitimate demand will warrant.
