Upon call of the roll the following
schools answered present, they being
represented by a full list of delegates:
Hickory Level, New Hope, Bushville,
Mt. Pleasant, Homer Prespj terian,
Midway, Maysville, Homer Baptist,
New Salem and Hebron.
All of the schools had written re
ports, and the secretary lias furnished
us with the number of schollars on
the roll and the average attendance
in tbe ten schools of the county rep
resented in the convention. Num
ber on roll 791. Avurage attend
ance 570. The amount of money ex
pended for literature $101.09. This
is a fine showing but it should have

Saturday was children’s day, and
by 8 o’clock great crowds began to
fill the streets of Homer, and sweeter
and better looking children, and
fairer maidens and more gallant
young men were never seen any
where.
All of the schools acqu'tted them
selves well. It was the unanimous
verdict that the exercises were the
finest that has been rendered since
the organization of the association.
The speeches and recitations were
grand. The address of welcome was
made by Col. Oscar Brown, and liis
effort was a grand success. The re
sponse was made by Prof. C. P.
Thompson, who like Col. Brown is a
natural orator. The speeches of
these two gentlemen were happy
events of the day.
If we had the space special mention
would be made of the exercises of
khe different schools, suffice it to say
/all covered themselves with honor.
It is hoped that by another year
every school in the county will be
represented in the convention if they
do not take any part in the celebra
tion.
Tlie Sub-Treasury.
It is the order of the day for the
party organ to attack the sub-treasury
plan by saying it is unconstitutional,
undemocratic, unrepublidan, etc.
The why and the how of these state
ments have been asked a thousand
t'mes and nobody has given a reason
able answer, or presented a convinc
ing argument rgainst it. The farm
ers think tlie plan a good one, and
want that or some other one tried.
Theo know that the condition of af
fairs so far as they are concerned can
not be worsted. They know that they
are bearing the burdens of govci'n
ment. and they would like to secure
some of its benefits. They know that
the financial affairs of the country
have drifted out of the hands of the
people and into the hands of a few
money ware houses, called national
banks, and that every dollar that
leaves the treasury passes a dozen or
more toll gates before it goes to the
farmer’s door. They have at last
gotten the idea into their thick heads
that the government belongs to the
people and not a favored few, and
they would like to live a little nearer
to their property. They think if
Uncle Sam can throw his paternal
arm around a few favorite children,
he might stretch himself a little and
take in the family. They know tnat
it is tlie labor and products of the
country that make tlie wealth of the
nation, and not ve debt it owes.—

Scarcity of Money.
The money centers, as well as the
rural districts, scorn to be suffering
for want of money. The volume of
currency in circulation is so very
small in comparison to the great de
mands of the immense commerce of
our country, that even that class of
financiers who speculate and develop
are recognizing its insufficiency, aud
are coming over to the Alliance de
mands for more money. Each faction
has its own ideas of the way this de
ficiency should be met, and yet the
great central idea is more money. It
is a significant fret that the fanners
who have heretofore trusted to others
the management of the nations fi
nances, should have been the first to
see the great mistake which has
brffen made, and should have not only
struck the root of this creat evil at
once, but should have also provided
a remedy. We say significent, be
cause it enforces the fact that this
reform movement is the result of a
great necessity. The pedple have
suffered, but for years did not look
for the cause, and of course did not
seek the proper relief. Now they
have looked deeper and not only have
found the cause of their troubles, but
have gone squarely to work as an
organized body setting forth the evil
and the remedies. Since so many
classes recognize the necessities of
reform sn our finances and are willing
to join with us in demand for more
money, there must be a unity of ac
tion as to the j dan by which this
money is to be issued. In order to
properly understand this question and
arrive at the best plan of operation,
the first question wc should settle is:
‘•For whom is this money to be is
sued.” Is it to be issued for tbe peo
ple or for the money kings, bondhold
ers and political bosses! We presume
there is no man who will not at once
say the increase of currency should
be for the people, and not for the
preferred few. Now if this new mon
ey is issued in tlie old way vvliat shall
the people do? Is there any way for
them to get tbe use of the money un
der that system except through shy
locks, vampires and moneychangers?
No, we want the governments’s
promise to pay, not national bank
notes, not gold and silver certificates
—not even the fiat money which pro
vides no way of getting into the
hands, of the people, but we want the
money issued so the people can get
it at reasonable interest. That be
ing tlie case, this money must of ne
cessity be issued upon a sound basis
and to reach tbe people that must be
something that tlie people have.
Then we must see vvliat the people
have that can be used as a basis for
currency. They have lauds and crops.
Lands as a basis for long loans has
no equal, non-perishnde farm pro
ducts as basis for short loans of six
to twelve months lias no equal on
earth, for they a. e subject to nature’s
immutable law of supply and demand.
Each pound of cotton and bushel of
corn, oats or wheat finds a sure mar
ket within a year from its harvesting,
and is the surest and safest security
on earth. Hence tho Ocala platform,
of more money for the people, and
that issued by tlie government and
loaned to the people upon lands and
staple crops, tlie much abused and
little understood sub-treasury plan is
the one great remedy for all our fi
nancial ills.—Sounhern Allliance
