Charles Macune

Charles Macune

Charles Macune (1851-1940) was a leader of the Farmers Alliance and editor of its theoretical publication the National Economist. He formulated the subtreasury plan which maintained the integrity of the Alliance and addressed the tight credit which caused the failure of its cooperative warehouses.

A Democrat, Macune opposed both the formation of the People's Party and the bimetalism which served as the basis of the 1896 fusion of the Democratic and Populist parties.
