Congress and fhe Fanner.
We clip the following from the
Atlanta Constitution:
A correspondent writes to The Con
stitution and asks this question; “Is
it constitutional for congress to aid
and protect the fanners, either
through a sub-treasury plan or by
loaning money on land?’’
Our correspondent’s question is
likely to be discussed for a long time,
and men will have very strong con
victions on both aides of it.
If it is not constitutional to protect
and aid the formers, the founders of
the republic were ignorant of the
fact. As General A. M. West, of
Mississippi, has pointed out in a re
cent article on the subject, our first
president Washington, in a message to
congress in 1790, commended the in
terests of agriculture, commerce and
■manufactures as deserving special
care and protection. The house of
representatives endorsed the message
in a reply, saying: “We concur with
yon in the sentiment that agriculture,
commerce and manufactures are en
titled to legislative protection.” Tae
senate also held this view.
Our government started out on this
line, but commerce and manufactures
having a better business organization
tnan agriculture, wielded a superior
influence in securing legislative grants
of special privileges. These privi
leges have been extended and multi
plied until they now dominate tiie
country, and keep agriculture in the
background.
Without discussing the policy of
the sub-treasury or the land loan
scheme, it is plain that they do not
involve a greater stretch of power
than we see in the legislation protect
ing commerce and manufactures. Cpr
tainly, nothing is asked for by the
farmers that goes beyond the privi
leges granted to t ie whisky distillers
Practically, the government loans
about S4O a barrel to the distillers
for three years without interest, under
the bonded warehouse system. Then
the government favors the national
banks by loaning them milliohs of
dollars of the people’s money without
interest. It loaned money to inter
state. and international expositions.
It endorsed the bonds of the North
era Pacific railroad. It will probably
endorse the bonds of the Nicarauga
canal.
If the government lias been doing
all these things for a century, how
can it he said that it is uneonstilu
tional to aid and protect the farmers?
The truth is, the farmers have the
right side of the question, and they
are bound to win; if not through the
force of justice, then through the su
pvemacy of numbers. They are now
well organized, and in that way tan
hold their own with commerce and
manufactures in making their influ
cnee felt in legislation. The Objec
tion that it is unconstitutional to help
them, will at once knock the props
from under the privileges so long en
joyed bv other great interests.
Bo much for the question asked by
our correspondent. We cannot now
go into the business merits of the
various reforms proposed. The prin
ciples underlying them are all right,
but it may be that betier methods
and details will be suggested. In order
to carry them out, our vicious finan
cial system w ill have to be revolu
tionized, and the currency of the
country w ill have to be increased to a
sum that will meet the demands of
business, and it must be a currency
that will not ho controlled by a money
ring in Wall street.
If the only end of raising fine
horses is to furnish material for the
excitements and dissipations of the
race track, then we think it high time
to pause and consider. That racing
is a thoroughly demoralising business
no sane man can doubt. It breeds all
tlie vices. Its influence for evil is
almost immeasurable. Young men,
in particular, are hurt and damaged
by it. We have never heard of any
intelligent and upright citizen that
was bold enougit to defend it against
these allegations.—Nashville Chris
tian Advocate.
The Hot Blast quotes an iron ex
pert as saying that there is enough
ore of a very superior quality, witlrfu
the incorporate limits of Anniston,
to supply twenty one-hundred-ton
furnaces tor one huhdred years.—At
lanta Jounal.
The Montgomery Advertiser says
that so far as Montgomery county is
concerned the acreage of cotton for
the present year is as large, if not
larger, than ie was last year. We are
apprehensive that this is the case in
many other counties of Alabama and
Georgia. But it is encouraging to
see that the cotton reports of the
agricultural department at Washing
ton indicate that the proportion of
cotton planted up to the Ist inst. in
the entire cotton region was less
than the average up to that date for
a number of years.—Atlanta Journal.
The thoroughly great .qjpn are
those who have done every'thing
thoroughly, and who have never
despised any thing, however small,
of Gou’s making.—Kudrin.
Th* OldffNt Tree on Earth.
The oldest tree on earth, at least as
far as any one knows, is the “Boo" tree,
in the sacred city of Atnarapoora, Bur
niah. It was planted, the record says,
in the year 288 B. G\, and is therefore
nearly 2,20 ) years old. Its great age is
proved according to historic documents,
says Sir James Emereon, who adds:
“To it kings have dedicated their do
minions in testimony of a belief that it
is a branch of the identical fig tree
under which Buddali reclined atUruin
elva when lie underwent, his apotheo
sis. ” Its leaves are carried away by
pilgrims as relics, but as it is too sacred
too touch with a knife, Hiese leaves can
only lie gathered after they have fallen.

Keep Out of It.
I)r. Talmnge defines Hades to be a
[dace where a person is continually
tormented by conscience. If you have
ever poisoned a neighbor's dog, and
had his wife ofTer to sit up with your
sick child next night, you have had a
taste of it—-just a more atom of what
tiie real tiling is. „ Keep- to the right
and avoid it. —Detroit Free Press.

“All three of them are well,” re

“Why, there nro six of them,

“Yes, mam, but you forget they are
