It bly be of interest to all i know what the erminc nd able Texas Senator thinks of the sub- treasury scheme. Here is what he has written to all inquiries: ay i he has } nuuications, answered as will proba- ested to “Yours enclosing copy resolu- tions adopted by the M county farmers’ alliance, indorsing and ap proving H.R. bill, No. 7,162 and senate bill No. 806, and requesting from me an expression of opinion touching the same, has been receiv ed. Recognizing fully the right of the people of Texas or any portion of them to know any opinion I may entertain on any question of public interest, I cheerfully comply your request and, as in duty bound, will give you a frank expression of my convictions as to the indicated bills. As one of the senators rep- resenting the state and p:ople of Texas inthe senate of the United States, I shall unhesitatingly oppose these bills, feeiliug as I do a clear comviction that they are stitu- tional in principle and > and inexpedient in policy. Ibis a fune damental principle of the deimocrat ic party that the gover: neither the moral right 1 stitutional power to tux the people to raise money forany other purpose with nent has + con- than to pay expenses of the govern ment economically admiuistered. If this principle, the correctness of which no democrat will deay, is ad- hered to, the government (which has not a dollar except whatis raised by taxation) cannot go iuto the busi- ness of money-lending as proposed by these bills for the simple reason | of transportation rates to the end | was Private Allen ev 'has driven prosperity fromus.

It is uponthe ground that We oppose a protective tariff and kindred abominations. and to cut loose from this principle would be to leave a safe anchorage to be toss- ed ona stormy sea without rudder orcompass. The agricu!tural inter- ests of this country are deprissed more than from any other cause by excessive taxation, indirect though it be, of a protective tariff, which, while adding from 50 to 100 per sworn to ing on and is cent. to the cost of living. confines our agricultural products io a glut- ted home market and forbids their exportation to foreign markets. These hills or either of them would make necessary from $50,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 per annum of addi- tional taxation, and burdens would fall ultimately upon the agri- cultural (interests of the country, which, unlike other interests, never escape taxation. STRONG LANGUAGE. “The scheme of these bills is ut- terly impracticable in my judgment. Inevitable and disastrous failure seems absolutely certain should an attempt be made to execute them. They bear on their face and in their every provision intrinsic evidence of being the work of theorists—of in- novators—I had almost said of rev- olutionists. Ihave no time now to dissect and analyze them, but be- lieve them to be the wildest and most visionary plans I have ever known to be seriously considered. No relief can be expected from them they would simply sink our people eeper in the bog. “The hope of relief from our age its WALTER A.

The large stand erected in front of the monument had been reserved for the distinguished guests, the orators of the day and the ladies. It was well filled when the procession arrived. When some- thing like quiet could be had Gov. McKinnley, president of the Lee Monument association, called the assemblage to order. After a brief vocation by Rev. Chas. Minnegrode of the Episcopal church, Goy. Me- Kinley introduced Gen. Early as chairman of the meeting. He was greeted with prolonged applause and cheering.
