THE KENTUCKY ELECTION. Of the results of the election held in Kentucky on Monday last the most gratifying is the adoption of the new ■constitution by a majority so large as to show that It is highly satisfactory to the people. Reports that were published last spring made it appear that there was a very strong opposition to it and a like lihood of its defeat at the polls. But it is probable that the opposition came from a few prominent men who had a personal interest in seeing the work of the constitutional convention set asido by the people. It appears also that in the legislature elected, which will control the rovision, the alliance inilueuce will be in the ascendaut. This is as it should bo in a state so distinctively agricultural rfs Kentucky. But the principal cause for interest iu this election in other states lies in the fact that it afforded the third party its first opportunity for displaying its strength. It had a ticket of Its own, and it necessarily antagonized the dem ocratic party and the regular organiza tion of the Farmers’ Alliance. It is re ported to have polled about 20,000 votes, which came mostly from the Republi can party and from the cities. If It found favor in the cities it must have been with those who incline to socialism and communism, who must regard its platform as promising a realization of their dream of government. Like the prohibitionists, they do not consider their votes thrown away, since they would advance a cause or principle they believed in. A NEW SUB-TREASURY PLAN. The Times-Recohder—Much has been said and written on the sub-treasury idea, or plan as it is called; and many are the claims for It, and many the ob jections to it. If we are to have legis lation on that subject, I have a sugges tion to make that seems to me practic able. The farmers are asking relief from the government because they find that their products are the mere play things of monopolistic gamblers, who, being comparatively few in numbers, are easily combined together, and hav ing most of the wealth of the country cau unlawfully control the price of farm products to suit their own caprices, and it is impossible for the oiganized and scattered farmers to cope with them. Now, government was originally in stituted to protect the weak against the strong, and to secure justice to all, and the fanner in his dire extremity calls on the government for that protection which should he given all. He wants the government’s assistance to cope with these cotton and wheat gamblers, who are in close alliance with the mo nopolists who have accumulated vast fortuues by rcasou of vicious class leg- iation. Here is my plan. Let the United States government fix a minimum price for the non perishable products of the farmer, and advance to him 80per cent, of this price at a low rate of interest. This price can be fixed by considering the cost of production economically pro duced—the supply and demand, etc. Take forexatnple cotton: let the govern ment agree to advance 8 cents per pound ou the best grade of cotton. This will keep the price above 8 cents, for if a farmer can borrow 8 cents a pound &AKIK0 POWDER Absolutely Pure. A cream ot tartar baking powder. Htehei fall in leavening strength —Latest .Unite States Oorernment Food Report. junel5 d*wlyr ANOTUEIt WAT. A level-headed, practical farmer writes an article for this issue of The Times-Ukcoiidkh, which is commended to the careful perusal of AUiuncemen who favor the sub-treasury plan. It ocmtafns somo practical suggestions as to ihow a sub-treasury plan might bo work ed, free from the serious objections cre ated by an army of treasury officials •who would be appointed by the ruling ■party and be a political power of dan gerous magnitude, This plan makes the bankers and warehousemen of each town and village in the country the officers of the gov ernment, simply by tho filing of proper bonds, a system that certainly obviates a very serious objection urged against the sub-treasury plan by its opponents. Tho more this theory is discussed, tho surer are the people to reach proper con clusions, bo let the discussion go on, until tho whole subject is thoroughly ventilated and understood. Kansas farmers are happy this year, That is, as far as happiness can be brought about by prosperity. They made the largost wheat crop on record, and because of the failure of the Euro pean crop, wheat will bring good prices. Besides this, they have made enormous corn Crops, the price of which will nlso be stimulated by the European demand and will ensblo them to fatten their cattle for market. It Is estimated that there are 3,000,000 bead of cattle in the state, worth $20 a head. That is j00, 000,000 worth of cattle, with plenty of feed in sight. It is a line prospect, and a groat many of tho Kansas farmers are prone to believe that It has all come be cause Senator Ingalls was a Jonah, and they threw him overboard. The Boston Globe gets very close to Quay In tho following paragraph: “Quay la the beat illustration of a procrastina tor who has appeared In modern times. His denial ot the damaging charges brought against him last year was not made until it was too lato to retrieve the ruin to hla party caused by the uncon- tradleted accusations. Ills retirement from the chairmanship of the Republi can national committee loses all Its mor al effect on account of Its lateness. Quay sued to hare the reputation of being a shrewd manager, but he must now be ranked as a prodigious bungler.” B. C. Allen, of Augusta, Me., who died at the Parker Bouse In Boston last week leaving an estate of $2,000,000, owed his success chiefly to appreciating the valuo of advertising. He did the largest publishing business In New Eng land and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars every year for “printers' Ink” in newspapers. Thirty years ago, when Value was mustering In her troops for the war, young Allen, than only 15 years old, picked up many honest dollars every day by selling molasses candy and corn balls to the soldiers. Kansas Is awfully stirred up politl colly, but the peach crop out there has no suspicion <f! failure about It. Life Is full of compensation.. ou his cotton, he would not take less. If the government should by this means acquire the entire cotton crop or a con trolling interest in it, it could maintain the price by regulating the quantity to be sold; and it could control the amount of future production, by taxing on a just basis all cotton produced in excess of say 8,000,000 bales. This would then prevent tho smallest fluctuation In the cotton market below cost of production, and wouli^give to agriculture a safe and reliablo price for Its produce. Of course the sarno rule woulfl apply tc other arti cles embraced in the sub-treasury plan. On all theso articles America has a prac tical monopoly of the world's supply, considering their quality and grade. Ab a means of distributing this money and preventing the multiplication of officers, it is suggested that the govern ment could operate through tho banks already established, or to bo established.. Let the government soloct a hunk or hanker at each placo of purchaso, exact ing of such a sufficient bond to protect tho government. In other words, make each of such bonded banks a sub-treas ury, under such rules and regulations as will protect the people and the govern ment. It would not do for the government to go to the enormous expense of building warehouses and grain elevators. Instead, let tho warehouses for tho storago of cotton be also bonded. This could bo done easily and with safety to tho gov ernment. Require suoh warehousemen to carry insurance, to properly weigh and classify the cotton, and to be direct ly responsible on their bond for falso classification or weights. Tho cotton receipts of such a warohouso would be accoptcd by the bank; and thus we have a simple method of transacting bust ness, without the intervention of an army of official locusts, and without disturbing tho usual course of irado. Whenever a sufficient quantity of cotton is brought to market, there is a suitable warehouse which could be utilized undor this plan; and when the business will warrant thoro is or would be a safe bank; so that the points of location for the sub-treasuries and bonded warehouses would be the natural trade oeDtres; and there Is no reason why at eaeh of theso there might not be both a bonded bank and a bonded warehouse. Where the cotton receipts and sales aro large enough to warrant, there might be selected two or more warehouses, as many indeed os the wants of this trade made necessary. This would not interfere with tho large amount of capital invested In this busi ness over the country; but would bene fit. It would stimulate the production of better gradess of cotton, would give the needed relief, and would furnleb it through the usual channels of trade. Abundant precedents In principle already exist for a scheme of this sort. Old Time Farmer. Simpsox and Peffer haven’t broken the Solid South yet. It can t be broken while the Republican party pursues Its present policy. of cotton from tho new crop on Tuesday. It brought cents. The Constitution thinks that there Is a cat In Brother Blaine's reciprocity meal tub; for it says: “The sanguine persona who believe that reciprocity Is free trade, should study tho mat ter from Brother Blalne'e stand point. Real reciprocity Is Iraq trade, but Brother Blaine has taken pains to make his reciprocity as different from the genuine article as possible.” Tom Reed loot none of his flesh while abroad. He is still the great Republican heavy-weight—a dead load for the party to carry. Julie E. Johnson, Stafford’s P. O., S. C., writes: “I had suffered 13 yean with eozema and was at times confined to my bed. The itching was terrible.
