" "i THE SUB-TBIASHRY BILL It Is Xt a Tiece r.CUss LcirfsU. ' tUi Ur a Few Oil j. - V. S. HALL'S OBJECTIONS TO ITAXSWEBED. It is said in obiectiou to thi bill that the Farmers Alliance and In dustrial Union has declared against clasai legislation; and the organiza tion ; j is charged with iiu-onsistencv and hypocrisy in thia measure, which i asitimed to be of that character. I It' is well to understand in con sidering the various objections to this measure that mere assumption does liot amount to proof. IT. S. Hall, President of the- Missouri State Alli ance, has written 'a lengthy address to the meiuliership in that State in op position to the sub-treasury plan, which we find In the columns of the National Democrat. As i this address comes from, One who, eondsideriug his position, should know; something about his subject, we would natural ly expect to find a strong statement: of the arguments, if any there be, on that side of the-question? After s'a very careful examination of the; ad dress-we are surprised, at its" weak ness. Mr. Hall, jn urging the : ob jection under consideration; does not introduce a single item 01 evidence of a single syllable of argumeut; to show that the sub-treasury bill I par-! takes; in any particular of the char-y aijter 01 legislation, lie simpiy as sumes that it is of this character and then proceeds to show that the Order is! inconsistent and Violates its de ciared principles iii demanding "this kijiid-.of legislation.. ' Admitting this aigument to be good against . class legislation, we submit that it re injiins for him yet to show that ' this hil-asure partakes in anj'-.way of that character. The trouble with Mr. Hall is in his absolute Democracy, life knows that the Democratic par tyj will never endorse the sub-treas-,urv plan any more than 'will the Be piiiVjncaii party; and . as lie owes his fiist allegiohee to the , Democratic party; he must needs stand . with it- asragainst the Alliance, with which. he is nominaliy connected. He will UQft be able to carry the membership of Missouri in -his vest pocket, how evler, 011 this question,' or that of its political affiliation- In order to sus tain the objection undef considera tioii it will first be necessary clearly tojdefine and establish what eonsti tujtes class legislation. ; It will next be nebegsary to show that the features of jthe sub-treasury plan brrng'it clear ly wit.hin the scope of this' definition. Has Mr." Hall or any other , writer upon the subject ever attempted an y thlmg iof the kind? If j so, we have failed to see the result of the effort. It I certainly does not appear in the lengthy address published In ; the National Devfocrat. The en tire force of I the argument 'upon that part of his subject is expendext in showing the pernicious character and effects of fclass - legislation.' This projiosi tiopi 110 member of the Alliance will attempt to controvert. Ir.i - -Hall cites - the denionetiza tioji of silver, the creation of the naliortal banking system; the land grants! to railroads and the imposi tion of tariffs upon the jiecessaries of llife as examples' of cl.ass legislar tioiisithat have operated the in jury of the jieople. We shall not i hese, propositions; DUt we olwf i . v , ' r, -"7" .,w t -ttlid cliaracter. ot tne legislation hcited. That it does we emphatical ly Sdeiv, and thougb the burden of raof .thou Id rest upop the af firmative of the proposition, we will undertake to make ) good our deiiiali ' , . ; ' " t . What really constitutes class legis lation?; .Can it be said that all laws Avlifch confer special or local privi leges,, or all laws not Universal in their application" partake of this char acter? f If so, then a very large part of Rational and state enactments; mut be classed iu this catagory. This is a nation -with. a multiplicity of in tereitsl Vast 'and" diversejintlustrial enterprises have jdevploped its1 iin boufeleil resources" and to-day " make up hei sum of its greatness. There is nibrtf or less legislation of a special character relating to every industrial pu'riuit. Are we Innind to . declare indiscriminately that all this class legislation simply because the aevertil acts! may favor each and severally one" iuteest more than " another? This will hardly be claimed. It js difficult to firm laws of universal application that ! will meet all of the requirements eeds of one 1 ti ff er fronl those meet the remi re- re ample justice i enormous expense to the goyeremenU Who! is directly benefitted by this Work? Do the" people of Kansas or Missouri or Illinois or any other lo- riulil riTt. th.w tt-hich are nrotect-! ed froni the overflow of thej river, dej rive any direet benefit from the legis- . Cient measure. . The i prosperity of latioa providing for this protection? agriculture underlies that of every Most! assuredly not- The individual j other legitimate interest; and with-oa-nets of the land in the Valley of out this prosperity every other will the Mississippi are the recipiehts-of af languish. Any measure, there special benefit by this protection, at.J fore, which will foster this indus the exjiense of people ofh thfei'trv, will inured to the interest pf whok; country. , Will any one rise up j all other industrial classes, and will and declare the laws providing for j not and cannot operate to the the special benefits to be class leg-! detriment of any . except it be the islarioul? llardl v "Again: It is j nrgeij that the resources of both state jandttation be brought to the relief of 'the people liying upon our arid lauds in order to render them fertile by ir rigation. ! Wen in all parts of thei TOuuirj-, lriwpeciive ot iany, nave urged'the imKrtance of this, and a committee has; beeh appointed by Congress to investigate the feasibility of the project with a view to it exe cution. Who would be directly and immeaditely benefitted by such a scheme? "j Evidently the iieopie who are settled, or who shall hereafter settle in the. regions upon which these special pre vileges shall be conferred. Will anyone hold that laws provid ing for these great improvements should be declared class 1 legislation? Yet why not? They are local in their application. Tney confer direct ben efits upon; but comparatively few peo ple; and these benefits are .conferred, at the expeuse of the entire country. Why thenj should we not cry but against classprivilege and, denounce laws providing for Mississippi .river improvements and irrigation schemes as class legislation. We. might citaj many otner liiustrauous 01 tnis char acter. These, however, are sufficient to show that we must have some rule by which to judge of laws limited- application, and by w mc;h we may de; termine whether they partake of" the! character of class legislation or not. As bef ore stated, w e must have a clear definition, 'and then we must deter mine whether a law.comes within the scope of that definition before we de clare it to be class legislation. 'We submit' the following as a fair statje ment of such a definition: Any hiw wliich confers special privileges dr. benefits upon an individual or a class to the, detriment of the legitimate in-i terests of another individual or 'class, and w hich does' not confer a corres jHmding good uJou the general pub, licj sufficient to compensate for all necessary private sacrifices, may ;be properly termed class legislation! By" this rule all special; law s may be ; impartially judged; and to the same test We are willing to submit the sub-treasury bill. ; " We . submit that we have no reasonable right .to complain of a benefit to be conferred upon others simjily because our ilo- V . ' TTt- . v J " "t inai ueneuii aanauie 10 us, unless the conferring of that beneht is adet- .nment to us which is not compei- satedby a public good sufficient to "vi"v icjuuw I xllc4,vc. ":v uw ifiui: in. lieve this proposition c'an be success fully refuted. ; "" : When judged by the above riile how must the laws, referred ; to " be classed! The demonetfeition of sil; ver has operated adversely to the in terests of the people in many ways. This is so generally acknowledged "in the west and south as to render ar gument upon the subject unnecessa ry. The 'national banking system also conveys special privileges and profits, all of which are a detriment to the masses . with no corresponding public good.- The same be ..said of many other sjiecial privileges coii ferred by legislation. ' But how is it with Mississippi river impro1fiiieirts?. While' these! confer special : beuetit upon a comparatively, few land hold ers in the Mississippi valley,-"yet-they contribute to the public welfare by adding to the available area of jro ductiye lands and thereby : enlarging the aggregate resources of, the coun try. 1 So of all practical aiid legiti mate 'schemes'- for irrigation; While the holders of lands in the other wise arid regions are personally 'and directly benefitted, yet the addition, to the productive area and the in crease of the general resources of the country,. deprive the provisions for these public; improvements of their class character and fully ; justify their enactment. How" is it about the sub-treasury bill? ill any one undertake to show wherein the beife fits it will bestow upon the farmers of America; will operate to the detri ment of aiiv other class: engaged in any other legitimate pursuit? Un til this is shown": beyond perad ven ture, the claim that "the measure is in the nature of class legislation is a mere assumption, entirely unwar ranted-by the facts. Instead of this plan, bjieratlng to the detriment ofl any other legiti mate industry, the effect v.; ill be di rectly the opposite. The volume of money will be increased. ' The gjec ulatof and. gambler in farm products will be e eliminatedii The sale of year's supply and will ho longer need to oe inrown at one -time, upon a glutted and 6j)eculatye' tnarket. It will bring producer aiid consumer into suci. near? relations that the profits of the one may be' largely in creased, while the burdens of the other may j L)e actually diminished. By adding to the prosperity' of tlie agricultural" classes the demand will be increased for-manufactured prod ucts. This will create increased. Ie- mand and better prices for labon All ' clothed. TramjH will disappear. j Want, t he great tempter to crime, will I be relieved, and its fearful couse4 fiueiices will cease. Prosperity-- will everywhere prevail rrt...,.
