A Financial Scheme Brought Befoit Congres Extracts from the Preamble. Mr. McClammy, of North Carolina, is one of the half dozen farmer congressmen of this house. He is a zealous Alliance man. Recently he gave evidence of that zeal by introducing and indorsing the most remarkable financial scheme yet brought before congress.

This measure provides the issuing of legal tenders based on the lands of the United States and the allotment of the The proposition is that the government shall issue legal tender notes to the amount of S3O for each man, woman and child in the country. The money is to be turned over to the states in proportion to the'population, and the states are to loan it at 1 per cent, upon real estate only. Counties and townships are to have their shares, apportioned according to the number of inhabitants. The interest derived from the 1 per cent, will go to the school funds. No loan is to exceed $2,500.

In presenting this bill Farmer Mc- Clammy stated to the house that it was by every Alliance in the After declaring the land is full security for this issue of legal tenders the preamble proceeds: this parental government of ours considered its dignity insulted, and called on its children to surrender to the parent the dearest of all earthly possessions, liberty and life, with child like obedience the people went at the call; for the time being they gave up their liberty, they endured privations, suffered discomforts such as only the soldier knows, and thousands of the people, from Bunker Hill to the last Indian campaign, lost limb or life to save the parent, the government. These patriotic children yearned for wealth, for the comforts and joys of home, but they loved the government more than all these, more than life; surely, then, whatever we have, all that we are, we owe to the people. of our people cannot find employment; millions are working for a bare pittance on field or farm, in factory or mine; the mothers of the sons of the republic are stitching, starving in our city garrets; the sturdy farmer, who in the past has been our boast, comes to congress in person and petition telling his sufferings, his lasses, how, work ever so hard, yet he cannot save the home where his children were born; our sisters, wives and mothers by petition appeal to you to aid them; they, too, have economized at every turn; they have for years known not of luxury; for other years want has stared them in the face, and we ask of you, our representatives. who is benefited by all this suffering and want? beg of you on your return to visit, not your wealthy friends in the cities, but instead go rather to the house of the honest laborer, who has but little food, and that the poorest, to give his little ones: we beg of you to go among the farmers, not among those who are known as per who grind the poor even worse than the shylocks; we ask of you to go among those that toil in factory, farm or mine, not those who live on others' toil, and then say who is benefited by all the want and misery you will have seen. The shylock may accumulate more property, but will lie be benefited thereby? individuals, by brooding over wrongs, grow insane, so donations.

Let France during her revolution illustrate the case. "Shylocks will not be benefited if Anarchists are evolved by all this suffering and want. have never and will never hold in abeyance the red hand when the people grow infuriated and insane. The farmer, the laborer, our wives and mothers appeal to you to aid us while yet you may. We have in the past shown our devotion to the government; we ask that the government shall now show the same devotion to us; that you shall extend the same aid to us that we have in the past extended to the government.

In 1774 and 1775 our then parent government heeded not our prayers, our petitions. Will you not profit by their mistakes? come to you with the best security that God has given us, a security that needs no custodian lands ask you to give us a currency based on these lands, and that the currency so given shall be a legal tender for public and private dues. We ask of you to issue us currency to supply our needs, and we offer $35,000,000,000 real taxable security. But as individual indorsers we propose to secure the state school fund by $5,000,000,000 real property. If this really to the people then we Jisk that the amount provided for be divided pro rata to the states for the people, for their use and benefit.

late we, the people, have heard much of the constitution. We ask you who made congress or the people? Is the created superior to the creator? But why this unusual love? On the one hand in 1860 this love, this devotion did not prevent very many from doing what they thought was best for their people but unheard of in the Washington Letter. Federate, Federate.

CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED 18 'iq Chamber of Commerce, Minneapolis, Minn. Book of the Epoch. A Wonderfully Fascinating A STORY OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. BY EDMUND BOISGILBERT, M. ONE of the most startling; and original works ever written.

The Author, a man of wealth and high social position, aud who writes under a nom de plume, presents, in a startingly original and wonderfully fascinating work of fiction, a profound study of sociological conditions, and he follows these conditions out to what he believes will tie their inevitable result. The events described in the story takes place in the year and is laid in New York City. The plot is diversified and full of human interest. Some of the chapters are equaled onlv by Victor Hugo in terseness and vividness of description. The effect of ihe book as a whole is such that the reader will scarcely know in which character most to admire the gifted as a novelist skillfully weaving a complicated plot into a harmonious story; as a poet deftly touching the chords of the great heart of humanity; as a philosopher analyzing the errors and laying bare the evil tendencies of our age as a prophet warning the race against the greed aud selfishness whieh are eating away the foundations of society as a preacher teaching the broad principals of divine charity and appealing to those who have thepower and the good will to redeem the world.
