dian the publishes George a long I). pri Tillman, vate letter which
Hon, in
he discusses the sub-trea-swry bill, ably
summing agitated up the objections to that much-
measure.
Mr. Tillman shows that tlie bill is un¬
constitutional, because in ehouse its provision
for the election of wal managers
it violates the constitution, and there¬
fore it is “undemocratic, unjust, crude,
and impracticable throughout. ” It would
place warehouse the management the of hands the entire the
system in of
administration. It would establish hun¬
dreds of nurseries for Republican politi¬
cians. It would give merchants and
middlemen a decided adv^n^ge^ver
the farmers, and would place the pro¬
ducer, at the mercy of the speculator. It
would tax the poorer counties for the
benefit of the richer. It would discrim¬
inate against producers in general in fa¬
vor of producers of certain favored class¬
es. It would make money plenty in one
part of the year, and scarce in another
part. It would upset all prices and de¬
moralize all business “by alternately ex¬
panding and contracting of the currency eight
every year, to the extent sir, or
nine hundred millions of dollars.”
Mr. Tillman says that he has “written
with a galloping pen,” and it is only fair
to say that he has made remarkably fine
time. He says that “there are at least
a dozen other insuperable objections to
this sub-treasury scheme.”

Among the corporations which are
members of the combination are the
Weatinghonse system, both in. this city

presumably the Pullman interests. The
compact agreed to is that, in case a

demands, whether the strike be against
one or all of the associated factories, all

The strikers are to be allowed to re¬

worker who may have left another fac¬
tory on a strike. Neither is any associ¬
ated factory to seek workers during a
strike from any of the federated works.
The institutions named employ be¬

directly support some 200,000 to 800,000
people, exclusive of other invests de¬
