The sub-lrcHMiry Bill I» I'iacou* j Rtltut tonal. If the argument in support of tbe truth of the above heading was our own, we know many of our Alliance friends would not accept it. Much a-* we have desired to write on this subject we are glad now that we j have waited until the argument has j c uue from one of the brethren. In the National convention in Ocala, last week, there was much opposition to th** plan and President i Hall, of Missouri Alliance, made a f strong speech against it. He be gan by saying that every dollar that he had in the world was invested in ' farms and lands and that none of his property was less than seventeen miles from the nearest town or near est railroad. He was therefore as much interested in this subject as anybody, but he did not endorse the Sub-tieasury plan. I am, he said, uncompromisingly opposed to this scheme and for the following reasons: First, it is iu violation of the Constitution ot the United States; second, it is subver sive of, aud directly opposed to the constitution, principles and demands of our own Order; third, it is unjust and unequitable; fourth, it is very extravagant; tifth, it would briug financial ruin to the farmers of our entire country and to all other class es of business; sixth, it will have, and is now having, the effect of drawing the minds of farmers and other laborers of our country from the greatest curse of the age, class legislation, and if adopted will com mit us to that principle which will fasten these curses upon us for ail time. Mr. Hall then took up the objec tiou.-? in the order named aud dis cussed them with many forcible arguments and illustrations. Under the lirst objection he quoted from the Constitution of the United States as follows : "Congress shall uave power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts excises, to pay debts and provide for the coming defence and general welfare of the United States." Addressing himself to this point ! Le said : The question then anses, has Congress power under the sec tion above quoted to loan money to its citizens at 1 per cent, a year upon tueir wheat, corn, oats, tobacco and cotton ? Power is given therein to collect taxes for certain specific purposes to pay debts. Can this . mean to loau money, and "to pro vide for the common defeuce and the general welfare of the United i States ? Can this by any honest and fair conclusion mean that Congress shall have power to collect taxes from the w hole people and then loan these taxes so collected * I he advocates of these Sub-treas ury bills claim that the widest possi bie construction should be given to this general welfare clause and that Congress might thus find powers in this section. I claim that the widest and broadest construction of which the Euglish language is aus c ptihle will not vest such power in Congress. The Courts of the United States, both State and nationai, iu construing the powers vested in Congress by the Constitu t tionf uniformly lay down the doc ti ine tLat this Governme nt is one of limited powers and the national Congress has no authority to leg islate upon any subject except authorized by one or more of the i enumerated powers. We must never lose sight of this principe, that the United States Government has no monev except what it r*i-es by taxation from the people, and the purpose for which that money is raised is not to loau out, but to defray the necessary expanses of the Government. ' Notwithstanding the fact that four of the regular appropriation bills have been reported to the House, ( aLd one of them passed, the belief is growing that an extra session will i have to be held earlv in the sprinn -1 i THE NATIONAL AI.I.UM , AdoptH a Rcftolntlnn Men,ort »• izlnjc tl»e to Voir »«*'„" ttie Force Hill —an E* C ltl„ g Hceiie In ttie Convention.

As h*» sat down there WHS a stillness and hush in the convention which foreboded A storm, and evnrvbodv expected it to burst from Western or N->i th\\«-st e»n delegations, but no storm came. After a few moments of suspense. Delegate Deming, of Pennsvlvania, arose and said that he regarded ti *• introduction of the resolutions h- un timely; thai there was largely pr» va lent at the North a feeling that the Farmers' Alliance was a Southern organization, its members being sat urated with Southern aentim-uiis. and tLmt the passage of these n-- ;• tions wouid strengthen th:s opini r. and check the growth of the A 31- ance North and East.
