Lamar Street and Cotton Avenue. St. Louts, Nov. 37.—Mr. U. & Hall is the exponent of the antt-subtreasu'-y wing of the Farmers’ Alliance and is universally recognized as one of the foremost men in the order. Be was in strumental in having the anti-snbtreas* nry convention called, which met at Fort Worth. To*., and drew the divi sion line. It has been said of Mr. Hall that the dying request of bis father was that he devote his life to protecting and improving the condition of the tillers of the soil. In an interview Mr. Hall was asked: "What will be thereetiit of the In dianapolis meeting of the National Alliance relative to a third party?’ He replied: "I think it will reshit in a third party, as it was always intend ed by McCnne, Polk and the other Na tional Alliance officers that it shonld.” Why do you think that McCnne, Polk and his crowd have always in tended to make a feeder to a third party ont of the Alliance?’ Because they have put forward the subtreaanry and land-loan schemes and demanded the existing political parties to come to and adopt them, a thin: that no political party with any sonm idea of political economy would adopt. Nor do I think the worst feature of this advocacy of the snbtreasnry and land- loan schemes is that they are desirous of forming a third party. What I as a farmer and an Alliance man most con demn and deprecate in their advocacy of these heresies is that they are acting as-helpers to the protective tariff men of the United States and are playing directly into their hands—first, by de claring as they do that there is nothing in the tariff issue, and secondly by urg ing these patprnal heresies entirely m the southern states that have heretofore been the bitterest enemies of protec tion.” "Do you think the snbtreasnry, land loan or similar schemes can live either with or without the third party?" "No. Whenever the sunlight of a vigorous political canvass is turned upon these plants, which were sprouted in demagoguery, watered by fanatics and cultivated in a secret, darlc-lanteru, oath-bound canons, they will boo a porch up, wither and die." "What effect do you think the Indi anapolis meeting will have on the Farm ers’ Alliance proper?” . "This question, to be, answered in full, would require more time than I now care to devote to the matter. Bnt I will out it short by saying that it will injure the order. ” "Do you still think there is a need for the Farmers’ Alliance?” "Moat certainly and emphatically yes. And this division over these sub-treas ury and land loan schemea only empha sizes the importance of the farmers meeting and educating ourselves for these most potent reasons: First, to nnite Us in the exercise of our voting right in our own and our country’s in terest; second, to guard against the en croachments of the national govern ment on one aide; and third; to guard us against the intriguee and heresies of demagogues on the other side. ” "In the event that the Third party movement goes so far as to nominate a presidential ticket, what do yon think will he the position of the Alllauoe as between the People’s and Democratic parties?" "Unless the heresies of the People’s >artyare thoroughly exposed by fear- as newspapers and orators it will do hat the advocates of the sub-treasury and land loan schemes have always hoped that it would do, and that is to Injnre the Democratic party. ” "You have been mixing, with and talking to*tbrpeopIe a great deal in Missouri lately, have yon not?” ’ "I ham* ' ■ ■ " Have yon heard mnch expression in this state on the subject of the pending ”(Hl yeefthis is to-day the greatest rtf infovoaf In MliBnnn * A CORNER IN CO AN, Ohlenfo He.r., Who Could Not Knjoy Tbonk.glrln j, Chicago, Nov. 37.— Speculators in corp have arrived at the conclusion that there is a "corner” on in the November jption.
