Crisp’s Letter Opposes Sub Treasury Plan for Relief
Judge Charles F Crisp answers Alliance questions with a lengthy letter. He favors railroad regulation, opposes a protective tariff and the national banking system, and argues the sub treasury bill would entail costly warehouses, wide taxation, and biased officials, proposing instead currency expansion, silver coinage, tariff reduction, repeal of special privileges, and economical government. He cites farmers’ distress and urges equal rights with no special privilege.
