TIE BLACKSHEAR TIMES. VOL. VII. The Bible was translated into six new lauguages last year. The San Francisco Chronicle avers that street cries are one of the chief nuisances in any large American city. It is understood that all of the bank note currency of the Italian Government is engraved aud printed in tha United States. ______ Hon. James G. Blaine says that the late General Schenck ivas one of the best debaters in five-minute speeches evei known in the House. Free Italy expels correspondents who fail to support in their dispatches the financial credit of the country, exclaims the Washington Star. The curious discovery has been made that every Governor of Iowa since 1859 is alive and hale aud hearty, and the only Democrat among them is the present executive. It is saitl that nearly all the postal clerks and carriers who become thieves begin by stealing letters addressed to lottery agents, which they know are al most sure to contain money. The Limbless League is the latest po litical organization. It flourishes in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, and according to its founder, Arthur Jones, has 2700 members who have lost either an arm or a leg. Some one has figured that there are in Denver, Co!., thirty-one millionaires, -whose aggregate wealth is $46,500,000, und thirty-five semi-millionaires, whose wealth aggregates $17,500,000, making in all $64,000,000 owned by sixty-six men. Special efforts are being made by Census Superintendent Robert P. Porter to secure from county, city, town aud village officials, a clear account for 1880 and 1889 of bonded and floating debt, ■sinking fund, cash in treasury and annual interest pryments. One of the finest pieces of work ever turned opt at Mare Island Navy Yard, San Francisco, has just been completed. It is a whale boat built for King Malie toa, of Samoa, to be presented to him by this Government as a token of esteem for his kindness to American officers aud sailors at the time of the wreck of the Trenton and the Vandalia. In one place in Charleston, S. C., says Harper s Weekly, the Stars and Stripes were exposed to public view without molestation all through the war. This was in a family vault in Alagnolia Ceme tery, the flag that enshrouded the coffin of Midshipman Vanderhorat, of the United States Navy, showing plainly through the plate-glass doors of the vault. Dr. Norman Reed is a prominent phy sician of Atlantic City, N. J. Lately he gave the following as his views to a New Yorker: “The great trouble with people in the large cities is that the life they lead causes their systems to run down. Their nerves give way. That’s the state of affairs I always find. They eat too rftuch, they sit up too late at mg’av, >,ncy ‘fuss’ too much. ” The New York Telegram says; A gun with a calibre ot only one inch which can send its projectile through three inches of wrought irou and yet is built on a principle which allows it to be constructed in a few months promises a further significant advance in the arts of destruction. If the power of penetration keeps pace with the increase in bore in the Brown segmental wire gun the nation will have an arm with which its ships and forts can be rapidly equipped. It is a fact, alleges the Atlanta Crntti tution, that side-whiskered men are sel dom seen in young and busy communi ties. There is a good reason for it. Side whiskers are expensive. They make a man look dignified, and lead him to cul tivate slow ways and a careful style of costume. In order to keep up first-class side whiskers, a man must have leisure and money. If he gets up early and rushes around town in a bob-tailed coat, he will look out of place, and people will stare at him with pained curiosity. At lanta as yet has very few side-whiskered men They will come in time. When . we have more wealth and leisure there will be a lot of solid old fellows here sunning 'their mutton chops on the prom enade. But we must wait awhile. BLACKSHEAR, GA. THURSDAY, MAY 22. 1890.

The spokesman was Dr. O'. W. Maeune, chair man of the legislative committee of the Alliance, and editor of the National Econo mint, a paper devoted to the objects of the organization. The others present were Alonzo Wardell, of South Dakota; Benjamin Terrell, of Texas, national lec turer; L. F. Livingston, president Humphrey, Geor gia State Alliance; It. M. general superintendent colored Alliance, and J. J. Rogers, of the Virginia State Alliance. In addition there was present a number of members of Congress, prin cipally from the Southern States. *** address de Dr. Mactmc began his by scribing the depressed state of agriculture which, be said, was the prime If cause the ot the trouble in other pursuits. ex isting conditions continued, he warned the committee that labor would become desperate and a great revolution would ensue. History showed that wealth had always lacked intelligence to meet in time the necessities of labor, and on its part labor had never adopted the proper means to remedy the faults it complained Alliance of. The objects of the Farmers’ was mental, social and financial improvement. At the St. Louis convention 2,000.000 farmers bad been represented, and in they the had proposed the remedy in the set right out direction. Dill as the first step If it was rudely framed and the idea in distinctly expressed, they relied upon the wisdom of the committee believed to give it the proper form, but they The they farm- had found asked a remedy for and their ills. class legisla ers no favors no tion. They were now suffering from the latter. They did not ask the enactment of any unconstitutional measure, but as a great debtor class, as men who had gone out in the West after the war and laid the soil under contribution with borrowed money, they protested against the con traction of the currency at a time when I t D e ir debts become due, and asked that j the conditions ^3 la- restored to what they I - j™ 3 simpte.^ was questioned by mem- hers ot the committee respecting the de tails and probable effect of the sub-treas ury bill. Alt. Bayne wished to know if one effect would not be to encourage over production. Dr. Maeune replied that it would not. for just as soon as the fann ers’ calling became more profitable than others, there would he an influx of men into that business, which would result in i reaction and finally the restoration of in equilibrium. To his mind, no fixed volume of currency—no matter how great —would meet the ueeds of agriculture. It wanted an elastic medium. The farmer sold his crops in the fall when prices were the lowest and bought his supplies before harvest when prices were highest. Crops were marketed in tw»> or three months of the year, and this marketing annually caused a great stringency in money. feared the would Air. Flower that plan lead to banking on live shoats, getting iron, lead and silver ore. They were along now in the latter direction at the other end of the capitol. In time we would have everything ‘‘in hock." in the course of ten years, the government would he nursing children and women workiug in the field. The true remedy for the farmers’ ills was the manufacturers’ plan, They should regulate production. Raise ouly enough produce to meet the people’s wants, and thereby get fair prices. Dr. Maeune proceeded to explain the process proposed to regulate the issue of produce certificates. He said that the necessity for excluding imports obvious if ' of the agricultural quality of the products^ certificates was was to be preserved. Ihe certificates would constitute the soundest ami host currency in the world. Probably not one ball of the $50,000,000 appropriation asked for to put the new maehineiy m ae tion would be required, but the sum should not be absolutely at the minimum, as in time it would be necessary to extend the system to include nil of the products ol labor not covered by patents. In cou- 1 ’• ; Ma< - unc /h«t the National Alliance had and not sent these out petitions a tingle and printed de petition, that mands now pouring offerings in upon congress farmers were the spontaneous of of the United States, who were convinced that they knew what they wanted and were going to have it. Air. Flower said, in commenting upon the argument, that the farmer would do well to manage his domestic affairs with out government interference. Among the Alliancemen present was Ben Terrell, the lecturer. lie said: “We do not trade with any party.

Again, a candidate nominated by the Al liance would be a class candidate, and therefore would be ODDoscd.” *% Tho hearing of the Farmers’ Alliance representatives was continued before the ways and means committee Thursday morning, Mr. Livingston, national lec turer of the organization, taking up the argument. He said that lie had found much misapprehension in Washington respecting tlie objects of the Alliance. They had not beset congress, but, as Air. Flower had suggested, they had been at tending strictly to their own business. A wrong impression—one without a w ord of truth—was that the Alliance was clan destinely seeking to displace the ruling parties. The farmers had been told that a proper adjustment of the tariff and of the silver question was all that was necessary for the farmers’ relief. The tariff had nothing to do with the measure recommended by the Alliance. The tariff fixed the price of the far mers’ purchases; the sub-treasury bill fixed the price at which he sold his goods. The alliance representatives had not been insolent; at least there was no intention of being insolent. They had talked plainly, asked, straight from the shoulder. They demanded—he was not sure about the terms—that congress do what it could to pass the sub-treasury bill. Fifty-eight homes—farmers’—had been sold at auc tion in Connecticut in one day this week The farmers wanted relief, and they made knew how to get it. 'I hey bad about up their minds to let partisan Representative politics alone, Cle for awhile at least. ments, of Georgia, had sought to have the farmers’ lands taken as security in national banks. Somehow congress had refused to do it. The national bank sys tem must be broken up. The farmers had to secure loans at excessive rutes of inter est. There was no justification for that under God’s broad heavens. Air. Fowler asked if a manufacturer did not have to pay some interest. Air. Livingston replied that he did not. There was difference between- watered stock concerns and the farmer’s real es tate, yet the latter was made the worst security in this country. Continuing he quoted President Lincoln’s peophesy that corporations would be enthroned; that the property of the country would be concentrated, and that the republic itself Would be overthrown. Thank God, the last prediction had not been fulfilled. But the others had been. One-twentieth of the people of this country owned three-fifths of the property. He also quoted Garfield, Jefferson and Calhoun, and said that what they had recommended was what the Alliance asked. If con gress refus'd to approve the sub-treasury bill plan, then let it remove the restric tions hedging in the national banking system. The fanners would care nothing about trusts and combinations, and the concentration of money, if they could hold their crops in the sub-treasury, and were not compelled, as at present, to sell them at stated times. He could thus the speculators. It would be a God-scad to this country to pass the sub bill, for the reason, if for nc that there would not be a bucket left in the United States.

Flower read a table to show that staple crops had fluctuated more than fifty per cent within thirty years, and ‘ asked if that did not demonstrate the in stability of the proposed currency. .May heaven have mercy upon this country when a thousand millions of currency was suddenly called in, ns it might be under such fluctuations. Air. Livingston replied Unit the fluctu ations had been caused by t he fact that th ■ farmers had been caused by the fact thut the farmers had times—something been compelled to sell crops nt adverse the bill proposed to remedy. In conclusion, he snid, that if the committee thought (hut a landed basis was best, if they could not accept the crop basis, let them put it in. Do something to relieve the farmers. Report the bill to the house in some shape, so thut it could be acted upon. Don’t make it a question of tariff, or of I) iliticH, but let the bill stand on its merits.
