The Sub-Treasury Scheme. Editor Times-Estebprise: While I ara not a farmer, I can but feel a deep interest in every thing that injuriously affects that most worthy class of our citizens, as on that class finally rests most of the bur dens of the government, state and national. Impelled by a desire to serve them, I would like to ask a few questions as to the practical workings of the Sub Trea-ury Scheme that is now being urged as the plan for their financial redemption from debt and elavating them to hitherto unparalleled prosper ity. If I am wrong in my conclusions some of those who favor the plan can certainly demonstrate it. Waiving for the present all other objections (and a number occur to me) let us suppote that Congress had passed the act as formulated by the St. Louis Committee, and that Thom as county was entitled to one of these proposed government warehouses, who would have the management and control of it? Any citizen of Thom as county ? No. Some favorite of Mr. Buck, of Atlanta, or some tool of the present administration would get the place, and the experiences of the dark days when the Free-man-beauro was the power in the land, would have to be submitted to, supplemen ted by methods in comparison with ‘ "Which counttng qnoroms where no*<? exist in fact will sink into insignifi cance. What would our farmers reasonably expect of the servants of a political party who know no law save the means necessary to accom plish their own selfish end3? We will be gladly disappointed if these ser vants do not follow the lead of the present Speaker of the National House of Representatives and count charges against the cotton that never existed. And if so, what can the farmers do about it? Absolutely nothing. But this is not the darkest part of the results that seem inevita ble. Turn the kaleidoscope <>f events "to the time when, under proposed act of Congress, all of our seven mil lions of bales of cotton, should they be stored, must be sold, and see how the hopes and bright anticipations of a year will be nipped and blasted by the merciless flrosts of greed and com bination. Wall street will unite and fix the price to bo paid for this cotton, and fix it in their own favor, and even though the government may not have taken any precaution for collecting out of depositors any defi ciency that might exist between the 80 per cent, loaned on the cotton and the amount realized at its sale, the depositors will loss the twenty per cent, between the original value of the cottcn and the amount advanced on tbeir hard earned profits. At first glance the Sub-Treasury Scheme looks promising and was conceived no doubt, with the hope and honest purpose of benefiting producers, when in reality it is a statute of Nabis. We are told that, after Nabis, who was a tyrant of Lacademan, had exercised all the then known arts in plundering the people of Sparta, he made a statute resembling his wife and closed it in the most magnificent aparel; that when any one refused to deliver up his ricliet, Nabis would decoy him near tne statute which immediately, by means of secret springs, seized him with its arms and to rmented him in the most excruciating manner with barbed points and prickles hid under the clothes. Need I draw the parallel? Insatiate greed and power have plundered pro ducers until resistance has been pro voked, and determination to no longer submit has taken hold of honest toil ers. When lo, this same tyrant comes, with its ingeniously contrived government warehouse, richly clothed with flattering promises of good to the depositors; yet when the crucial test arrives Wall Street will touch the secret spring of the combination and arms of the monster will encircle these confiding producers and their substance, and the barbed points and prickles of conspiracy and combi nation and aggregated money will pierce them through and through. The farmers will, themselves, have mads it possible for Wall Street to ab solutely fix the price of their entire crop of cotton by this piling it up in gorvenment warehouses and providing for a forced payment. This lamen table conditioi of things would be very much more difficult, if not im possible of accomplishment, under the existing methods of disposing of the crop. In the light of these conditions, I can but say, BEWARE! No Politician. April 22nd, 1890. Hon. Clark Howell. The Tribune of Romesays: “There is general belief in the State that Hon. Clark Howell will be returned to the Legislature from Fulton, and that he will be a candidate for Speak er of the House.” * Clark Howell is not only a good parliamentarian, but he is both brainy and ready. He fitly represents the young democracy of Georgia. If he goes to the next house, and every thing points that way, ho will be a formidable competitor for Speaker of that body.
