ENQDIBEE-SCN : COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1890.
RELIEF FOR THE FARMER
A SCHEME SUGGESTED BETTER
THAN THE SUB-TREASURY.
.NO CONSTITUTIONAL OBJECTIONS LET
THE BANKS MAKE LOANS ON LAND,
ISSUING NOTES ENDORSED BY
THE GOVERNMENT.
Editor Enquirer-Sun: The great
question of the day is the sub-treasury
bill. Is it constitutional, and if so, is it
practicable? Asaveiy large number of
our fellow-citizens believe they are vitally
interested in these questions, they should
be discussed seriously and without pas-
sion. . .
The principles upon which this bill is
founded are: First, that an increase in
the volume of the currency is needed; and
second, that this increase should be so
used as to give direct and material assist
ance to the farmer.
We need not discuss the first proposi
tion, as it is generally admitted to be true.
The Republican party admit it in pass
ing the bill providing for the purchase of
$4,5C'),C33 per month of silver and issuing
that amount in silver certificates. The
Democratic paity admit it by advocating
an unlimited coinage of silver.
But the amount authorized to be thus
issued is much too small. There should
be not less than $2C3,C39,C33 issued at
■once, and if this fails to give the needed
relief, then the amount should be increased
until we do get relief.
The unlimited coinage of silver, how-
over, will do the farmer no special good.
It would only increase the cu-rency, and
-even admitting that this would increase
the price of cotton, still it will also in
crease the price of all other species of
property in the same proportion, and a
pound of cotton will buy no more then
than now. Besides, the Government
must use this additional currency in buy
ing silver, and will not be able to loan it
to farmers or others.
Congress may, indeed, provide for the
issuing of greenbacks to any desired
amount; but, then, greenbacks could only
be used in buying up the bonds before
they are due, or by engaging in some gen
eral and extensive system of internal im
provements, or by giving pensions to every
soldier and sailor who fought or entered
the army. It cannot benefit the farmer
directly unless it is loaned to him, and it
cannot be loaned unless authorized by law.
Now r if the Government are to issue
greenbacks to increase the volume of cur
rency and must use it in some of these
ways, I do not hesitate to say that the gen
eral welfare of the nation would be much
better provided for by loaning this money
to farmers upon good security and at low
interest, than by buying silver or bonds or
in paying pensions or engaging in public
works.
I think this sentiment will be endorsed
by the people if it can be show n that such
loans do not violate the constitution, and
the methods employed in effecting the loans
are not impracticable.
It is provided by the constitution that
the Congress shall have power to provide
far the common defease—and general wel
fare of the United Slates.
How they shall provide for the common
defense and general welfare is not speci
fied.
In the first instance Congress must de
termine whether any particular scheme
falls within either of these teiins. Then if
the question is brought before the cot 1 ’ ts
it will determined by the Supreme Covt.
In practice Congress has been veiy lib
eral in the constiuction of its powers.
Under the term common defense, it not
only supports armies and navies, but mili
tary and naval schools to educate the
young. It not only bu'lds fous, but im
proves harbors and livers so they cm be
better navigated. It not only builds post
roads, but endorses the bonds of railroad
companies for millions of dollars to aid in
■constructing railroads, which may in time
be needed in can ying troop3. Not only
does it thus endorse bonds, but it grants
millions of acres of land to aid in building
railroads under the claim of providing
for the common defense. And Congress
has been equally as liberal in construing
the other clause.
They pass law’s to protect the miner, the
manufacturer and most other industrial
interests. They even propose to give sub
sidies to ships engaged in foreign com
merce, and bounties to sugar made from
cane and beets. They endorse the notes
of national banks to give them value to
the extent of hundreds of millions of dol
lars.
Nor have they stopped with simply loan
ing the credit of the Government to banks
and railroads. Congress has actually
loaned money to the Centennial at Phila
delphia and the Exposition at New Or
leans, and doubtless will aid the one at
Chicago in the same way.
After this no one can deny that Con
gress lias loaned both its credit and money
to provide for the general welfare of the
people. But they have already set the ex
ample of aiding the fanner as a class.
When the Mississippi overflowed its great
valley and destroyed the crops and stock
of those who lived within its limits, Con
gress voted rations and supplies for those
in want. And only a short time ago, upon
the report of a failure of crops in Okla
homa, it has voted rations for the needy
boomers.
Nor have they confined their effoi ts to
aiding those who w’ere drowned out by the
flood, but are actually engaged in con
structing proper defenses against future
overflows of the great river.
Surely, after all this, it looks like Con
gress possessed sufficient power to aid the
growers of cotton and grain. But it may
be said that such aid can only be given in
extreme cases to preserve life or relieve
actual suffering.
It seems to me that if Congress has the
power to feed and clothe the fanner when
he is starving and naked, it has the power to
aid him in providing against want. If the
natural result of present circumstance will
bring to want, why not, by timely assist
ance, enable him to prov ide against this
want rather than let Rim alone until the
evil days come and then vote him rations
and clothing?
But it is not denied that Congress may
extend both protection and aid indirectly.
Indeed, it is claimed that protection is
given by the various provisions of the
tariff to increase the price of home pre-
duets and open new markets for their sale.
The dairy man is protected in the sale of
his butter by taxing oleomargerine, and
the farmer is protected in his lard by tiff
ing a mixture with cotton seed oil.
If it is true that Congress can aid the
fanner indirectly, why may it not aid him
directly? If it can open new markets for
his produce and increase the price by pro
tection, why not help him to hold his cot
ton so as to improve the market at home?
Such persons would read the constitution
thus: “Congress has power to provide for
the general welfare of the United States,
but it must only be done indirectly and in
disguise; it cannot do so in a plain,
straightforward maruer.”
No, we must interpret this clause in the
constitution so as to make it apply to
every case, and in any manner, or to ap
ply to no case whatever. If it can help
the destitute, whether his destitution
comes from disease, or flood, or fire, or
drouth, it can also prevent destitution by
timely aid. If it can assist the farmer to
enhance the price of his cotton by tariff
or revenue laws it can help to improve the
home market. To me it seems clear that
the power to do the one implies the power
to do the other, and that if no aid is ex
tended to the farmer it is not because there
is a want of power, but a want of desire to
help him.
But is the bill practicable? The scheme
upon which it is founded is a temporary
loan of money upon cotton or grain as
security. It does include the building of
warehouses and the employment of many
officers to manage the details, and it does
afford the speculator the same advantages
in holding cotton as it does the farmer.
These objections have been made and
answered so often that I will leave them
where they are. Suppose we admit them
to be so serious that Congress will not pass
the bill in its present shape. Then if
there is a bona fide desire to help the
farmer he should not be turned away with
a refusal, but some better plan ought to be
suggested.
He only wants a temporary loan in or
der to enable him to hold his cotton for a
better price. If the length of time is an
objection, then let him have the money
for a term of years. He offers as security

resolutions TO HOLD COTTON—IMPOR
TANT ALLIANCE MEETING IN
MONTGOMERY NEXT OC
TOBER.
Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 20.—[Special.]
—The scheme of the Alliance to store their
cotton and get European capitalists to ad
vance money on it, the outline of which
was published in these columns last Sun
day, is just now attracting more attention
in the South, and especially in Alabama,
than anything else in that particular line.
Rev. S. M. Adams, President of the
State Farmers' Alliance, held a secret
meeting with a number of the leading
Allianeemen of the State in Montgomery a
few days ago. The result of the meeting
was a card which appeared in the Alliance
Herald this week, signed by President Ad
ams. The following is the card:
“The action taken j.n other States and the
efforts now being made by the National
Cotton Committee, necessitates that each
eounty organization should have a repre
sentative to meet me at Montgomery at
the earliest practical moment, in order
that plans may be sys.einatized and efforts
pefected to enable farmeis to secure better
prices for their cotton or to store it. It is
therefore ordered, That the president of
each county Alliance in Alabama either
cotton that can be converted into money i come or semi a capable representative, to
in a single day. If this security is not j meet me in Montgomery Thursday, Octo-
sufficient, then demand a mortgage on his
land. In other words, change the contract
from an advance on cotton to a long loan
on land.
Now what is the objection? The Gov
ernment wiil not need an army of officers
to make the loans, nor a warehouse to hold
the mortgages.
Here is a plain, simple, arrangement,
which wall afford relief to one party and
security to the other. I think it will be
better for the farmer to take the money
early in the year and pay as he goes with
his work, until when his cotton is picked,
then he will owe nothing upon it, and can
hold it as long as he pleases. The pres
sure to sell early comes from the creditors,
and if he has no creditors there will be
no one to suffer by holding back the
cotton. Then it will be found that a tem
porary loan will not enable the farmer to
pay off debts bearing heavy interest, nor
improve his land nor purchase stock to
make it. My idea is that if we are to
help him at all it would not be by a tem
porary loan to be renewed every year,
but by a long loan, so that he may so use
the money as to make his condition better.
Let him go to town in the spring with
money to buy his supplies, and buy them
on a cash basis, and not as a supplicant
begging for goods on credit prices.
But we will go fuither and admit that
Congress cannot loan him money upon
any terms. Still, it can help b ! m just as
effectually if it will do for him what lias
been done for the National banks.
The Government endorses the notes of
these banks, thus making them equal to
greenbacks, upon consideration that the
banks purchase Government bonds and de
posit them with the Treasurer as security.
Now, why not allow them to purchase
the bonds of farmers, bearing 4 per cent
interest and secured by mortgage on farm
ing lands, and deposit them as security.
her 2, for the purpose above mentioned.
This is veiy urgent, brethren, and you will
please be prompt and ready for business.
Each county Alliance will pay the ex
penses of its president, or the representa
tive he may appoint to this meeting.”
The meeting will be for the purpose as
set forth, of taking definite action to p er-
fect the st orage scheme. No Allianceman
has yet denied the statement that foreign
capitalists have agreed to advance S32 per
bale on 2,C1J,C 13 bales of the present cot
ton crop. Those who are in authority and
supposed to know, admit that such a plan
has been on foot for some time, but will
not say definitely whether it has been con
cluded or not. No one will dispute the
fact that the plan is a feasible one, and
will work good results for the farmers if
it is materialized.
The meeting Montgomery October 2
will result indefinite action being taken to
set the plan to work.
ALREADY THE QUESTION OF HOLDING
COTTON
is becoming a live one in Alabama. Nearly
every week county Alliances adopt resolu
tions to hold their cotton for better prices.
The following is a copy of the resolu
tions adopted by the Barbour County Al
liance, which is a fair sample of what is
being done:
Whereas, We the Farmers’ Alliance of
Barbour county, Alabama, in council as
sembled at Clayton, feel the great wrong
that is being perpetrated upon us by the
spectators and gamblers in futures, and
Whereas. We have every reason to feel
that the present crop is a short one, and
Whereas, It was produced and is now
being harvested under the most unfavora
ble circumstances, and the present prices
in many cases will leave us hopelessly in
debt to our local bankers and merchants,

can make 4 per cent interest on the trans- j charge our obligations which we are ex
action, whilst in buying Government bonds \ ceedingly anxious to do. Therefore, be it
they make only a little over 2 per cent.
The Government will have first the Na
tional banks as security and the mougagts
as collateral.
But we will go fmlher. The farmer
can be aided without any loan either of
money or credit >'”oni the Government.
At present no State bank can afford to
issue bank notes for circulation, because
there is a tax of 10 per cent, on every such
note issued. The State banks are thus
placed at a disadvantage with the Na
tional banks. Now, let this tax be re
pealed so far as to allow any bauk to issue
its bills as money, provided these bills are
loanc 1 to farmers on their bonds and
mortgages. What possible objection can
be urged to this plan?
The Government risks nothing; the
banks make 4 per cent, on their own
notes, without investing a dollar of their
capital; whilst the farmer is aided by loans
of money at a low rate of interest, and the
people at large are benefited by an in
creased volume of currency.
It will require no officers nor ware
houses. The banks will make the loans
and take the mortgages, and will see that
they are protected from loss.
In any one of these ways aid can be
given. Now, the only question left is, can
it be done? We see the “old soldier,” by
organizing, gets millions from the Govern
ment as pensions, and the manufacturers,
by co-operation, obtain protection.
Are not the farmers as numerous as the
soldiers and as strong as the manufacturers?
If these classes can influence Congress by
combination, then much more can the
farmer, because they outnumber all the
soldiers, manufacturers and operatives to
gether. The soldier wants money, aud he
gets it; the miner and manufacturer, who
have plenty of capital, want only protec
tion, and they get it. The faimer nerds
capital, but does not need protection, let
him get it.
I advise them to demand of the Legisla
tive the passage of such laws as may be
necessary to enable the banks to issue
money based on farmers’ bonds and mort
gages, and also to petition Congress to
pass laws either loaning money or en
abling the National or State banks to loan
it upon their own bills.
Every Southern and Western State is or
can be controlh 1 by the faimer. Let him
mauifest his power in bis own behalf.

THE VISIBLE COTTON SUPPLY.
New York, September 20.—The total
visible cotton supply for the world is
1,203,343 bales, of which 676,843 are
American, against 918,954 and 575,354
respectively last year. The receipts of
cotton this week at all interior towns are
87,506 bales; receipts from plantations
181,895. Crop in sight bales.

speaker, “that it would take a clever
penman something like seventeen years
to copy Scott’s works.”
“Quite likely.”^
At this stage a newspaper reporter en
tered upon the scene. He surprised the
group as follows:
“Gentlemen,” he said, with his modest,
downcast look of the old-time reporter,
“you will pardon me for speaking of a
matter that may appear personal. But
speaking on behalf of my brothers of the
press, I will say that, as a class, we prob
ably write more in one year than a suc
cessful novelist does in twenty years.”
“Impossible!”
“Let me prove it to yon. Take the or
dinary library edition of Dickens, Thack
eray or Scott, and if you average up the
amount of matter, page by page, you will
find that a fair estimate would be 300
words per page. Now, you will admit a
3i J page novel is above the average in
length. Admitting, however, for the sake
of illustration, that this is a fair general
estimate for the authors named, we con
clude that 90,C3J would cover a large-sized
novel. To write such a novel in a year is
considered a profound labor. No doubt,
too, such is the case. Now compare this
with the daily work of the reporter—not
for quality, if you please, but quantity.
“A good average newspaper column rep
resents about 1,5C J words. A fair average
day’s work for a reporter would be any
where from one to three colurous. To be
on the safe side, however, let us use the
minor estimate. One column per day for
a week would be 10,5C3 words; for a
month, 42,CG3 words; for a year, 504,CZ3
words.equivalent, gentlemen, from the me
chanical standpoint, remember, to nearly
six 3C J-page novels.”
“Wonderful!” said one.
“Astonishing!” said the second.
“Not at all. Now then.there’are journal
ists in Detroit that have been in the har
ness from twenty to forty years. If you
are not afraid I will stagger you, I will
go ahead with the figures.”
“Go, on,” both exclaimed in a breath.
“Very well, then,” added the deadly
statistician. “At this very fair and low
average your busy journalist would write
in ten years 5,040,CC3 words; in twenty
years, 10,080,COO words; in thirty years,
15,120,030 words, and in forty years—”
“Save the mark!”
“ in forty years, just exactly 20,160-
C „ 3 words, or an amount of matter equiv
alent to 224 303-page novels, the work of
any fifty ordinary novelists rolled together.
Are you ready to acknowledge, gentlemen,
that the average journalist is the only
man who can save the country in the
timebf danger?”
But the two listeners spoke not. They
were out of sight.—Detroit Free Press.
THE SOCIETY ISLANDS.
THE FRENCH WHIP THE NATIVES AND
ESTABLISH A PROTECTORATE.
San Francisco September 20.—The
Barkentine Tropic Bird arrived from Pa
peete, Tabite, yesterday, with the news
that the French forces have subdued the
natives of the Society Islands and estab
lished protectorates over them. The shipa
Duboardier, Champlain, Yire and a guu
boart are at Papeete with a combined
naval and land force of 3,CJ0 men. At
Island Raiter the only serious trouble oc
curred. The natives hauled down the
Frencli flair and the mariners fired upon
them. Upwards of 100 natives were killed
and a number of manners were injured.
The natives were fluatiy beaten off and the
island was occupied by the French.
Resolved, That we, the Allianeemen of
Barbour county, refuse to put our cotton
on the market at the present ruinous
prices, and earnestly request that all our
brethren in the cotton States do assist us
in our efforts to resist this unjust pressure.
Resolved further, That we earnestly re
quest all our bankers and merchants in the
cotton States to assist us in this our effort
to keep tillers of the soil from being
robbed of their just reward, which would
bring bank', uptcy and ruin to the cotton
belt.
Resolved further, That we request our
county papers, aud all the newspapers in
sjmpathy with us, to publish these pro
ceedings.
AN ALLIANCE RE-UNION.
President S. M. Adams, of the State Al
liance, has called a grand Alliance re
union at the Southern Exposition in Mont
gomery on November 11 and 12. The call
among other things says:
“This great educational institution, lo
cated in the center of the agricu’tural belt
of Alabama, is striving to give to the peo
ple of the State an exhibition of which
the State can feel proud. For the two
days set apart for our instruction and en
joyment, the management is sparing nei
ther pains nor money. Oi” - beloved na
tional president, Col. L. L. Polk, will be
with us, also Capt. Ben R. Tillman, of
South Carolina, Hon. John P. Buchanan,
of Tennessee, and the “old man elo
quent” Col. L. F. Livingston, of Georgia,
and talk Alliance doctrine, pare and sim
ple to the people.”
The meeting no doubt will be largely at
tended. It is already attracting a great
deal of attention throughout Alabama.
KOLB AND THE SENATOESHIF.
The Alliance Herald this week devotes
a column and a half of its editorial page to
a discussion of the question relative to
President Adams sending out a secret cir
cular to the fanners urging them to sup -
port Capt. R. F. Kolb for United States
Senator, as charged by the Montgomeiy
Advertiser. Tile Herald does not say in
all that space whether the circular was
sent out or not, or whether Capt. Kolb
wiil run for Senatoij or not. It criticizes
the Advertiser and concludes as follows:
“The Herald does not know that Mr.
Adams ever sent out a circular, or that
Commissioner Kolb is or will be a candi
date for Senator, but that does not affect
the question of whether the Advertiser
has the right to denounce the former, if he
should see proper to send out a circular, or
the latter should he see fit to become a
candidate. This is supposed to be a free
country.”
It can be seen from the above that the
Herald endeavors to avoid the question at
issue, which is given out to mean that
Kolb is a candidate for Senator.
