Uncle Bens idea of the sub-Treasury

Having been true Jackson man, took the
liberty the olher night of attending meeting
of the frients Of his successor, Mr.. Van Blu
rem. had barely got into the room when Joe
Noisy stepped up to me and cried out "why
don't you huzzae' Huzza for what? says |.
Why for that sub-treasnry thing that Mr.. Il.
has been jus: telling us about, He says it will
do more for our party, if we will only follow it
lup than ever the yeii0W jackets did Joe, said
/, keep cool little and III tell you something
YOU don't know. Can you tell me what is the
meaning Of that little word sub which they have
gone and bitched on the treasury like tin pan
upon an honest dogs tail? No-says Joe, |
can't say as how do exactly. The treasury
part | have read all about in Old Hickory's
messages, but must confess that are sub is an
lizard beyond my alphabet.
Well said |, Joe, am not surprised that you
are stumped, for was puzzled in the same way,
and so thought would ask General *****who
has been great deal at Washington, and knows
all about the ups and downs and the other new
inventions in politics. So met the General
one day and says to him in a kind Of demo-
cratic way, General, what is the English of
that are sub which you folks at Washington
have been stitching on the old United States
Treasury like Co., plastered on a sign before
a fellow makes shape? Sit down my friend,
says he, and l'llt tell you all about it, Sub is a
Latin word, and means under, beneath, or any
thing under another, like mine under ground
or kitchen under aAparlor. AS soon as he said
kitchen it struck me right on the head like o
streak Of ightnen. Stop! says |, Gineral,
have got the hang Of it now, The Kitcher
Cabinet has got under The Treasury, and all the
money has dropped through the cracks OF the
floor into kitchen below, and therefore they cal
that the sub or under treasury.
By lingo! (said Joe, Shaping both hands to.
getherD ifyou havn't nailed the sixpence to the
counter. tell you what it is, Uncle Ben.
would rather live in that SUB or UNDERMINING
kitchen, than in any sky parlor in the nation
and if Van Buren, will only make me kitchen
sweeper 10 his Cabinet, will do more for him
in my way than ever mos Kendall has. | am
off for Washington, Uncle Ben, for there is nc
chance Cor an Office in Morris county. Just
lend me SIS, and III pay you out of the frs,
sweepings of the Decentralization Jer.

GOV. McNUTr AND POST NOTES.


GOV. McNUTr AND POST NOTES.
Our readers VIII be surprised to learn
that Alexander 9. McNutt, is The .futker Of
the post note system. The Governor aud
his friends are daily declaring against de-
preciated post notes, and are indnstriously
attempting to create the Impression that his
excellgucy is arrayed in deadly hostility to
worthless post notes, and can only tolerate
bank notes payable on demand, and which
can be converted into specie at any moment.
Now, let US see what is the Governors real
opinion on this subject, by reference TO one
of his papers: On the 18th day of January,
1888, the Bank Commissioners submitted
their report TO Gov. McNutt, in pursuance
of law; and on the 18th day of January
1888, his excellency transmitted that docu-
ment to the state legislature, accompanied
by message from himself, as governor. In
that message we find the following para
graph:-
"Most of the solvent banks of the Union
will resume specie payments, in the course
OF the ensuing spring and summer. The
banks of Mississippi have resources as ample
as those Ofany State; and, with two excep-
IIOASS tIlCiI IldOtttttSS dI6 lUuCt 1879 III plO-
portion 10 their available meuns. During
the next summer and fall, the hunks, By IS
suing post notes, payable at the maturity
Of tie crops Of 1888, lOoWId be enabled to
tUtthdrGa6 their circulation playable on de-
maad, and substitute notes payable at a fa-
ture day, bearing interest. These mould
paSs more cUrrentLy than the present irre-
deenta6ky currency. am fully aware that
the great objection on the p1rt Of the bank
TO such issues, is, that they curtail their pro-
fits. This argument, however, should moi
have much force. Their improvident MN
agement has mlnly contributed TO the pre-
sent disorganised state of our currency, and
they should cheerfully contribute their aid
in giving 10 the people, at the earliest pos
sible period, q sound currency.
Here we have not only distinct and ar
gunent recommendation of the post note
policy, but his excelency has even gone so
far as 10 persuade the banks to issue post
notes, and reason with them, 10 induce an
adoption of the me asure, at, ''the earliest pc
Rod" that the people Of the state night
have sound currencg.--And what kind OF
post notes does his excellency recommend?
Why, notes payable "at the maturity Of the
crop of 1891" From the date Of the mes
sage, (Jan'y, II, 1887 until the maturity
of the crop of 1889, tsay Jan'y. II, lS40)
would be Two years. Now, if post notes,
having only IL month to run are at so ruiz
nous discount, how would il be with those
payable two years after date? The dis
count, of course, would be twice as great;
and hence Gov McNutt's favorite policy
recommended to the legislatrfe, is even a
worse one than that adopted by the bank,
and about which we hear so much complaint
and abuse from the locofoco journals. 1t is
unnecessary for US to indulge in comment.
The Governors position in this matter is
Clearly expressed in his own words which
are copied above, and the people oflhe state

An ELECr1ONEERING PRESIDENT
President Van Baren has taken the field
in a regular electioneering tour through
Maryland, PENNSYLVANIA, New jersey and
New York. The papers represent him as
industriously engaged in writing letters ma
king speeches, and in every possible manner
pushing forward his sub.Treasury scheme
and advocating bis own reelection. Well,
degrading to the nation as this may be, it is
in perfect accordance with the official doc
trines of the party, as established and de-
clared by the Senate and its Judiciary Com
mitiee. They declare it to be the right
and the duty of all officers, 10 interfere in
elections, and control the ballotings of the
people to the extent of their power.
The subservieni Senate at the last session
of Congress declared war against the free
dom of the election from choice; and spent
near ten thousand dollars oc the people:
money to spread abroad the base anti-repub
lican proclamation. Now the President j:
