A Strike Am ong tho Farmers.

There is strike in Mississippi
not strike for higher wages, but
for lower prices. In Lincoln and
the adjoining counties in tho lower
part of that State, three-fourths of
the farmers united in strike
against the merchants, their COM
plant being that the merchants
charge them fifty per cent. profit on
the supplies advanced on their
crops. They say this is exorbitant +;
they insist that pound of cotton
ought to be good for a pound of
bacon, and on this basis they claim
fifteen cents a pound for their cot
ton, and refuse to settle ut lower
rate. The merchants, on the other
hand, claim that they charge their
customers no higher percentage
than the latter agreed at the
beginning of tho year to pay for
supplies on twelve months credit;
that it costs them twenty-five per
cent. on their investment to do
business on credit; that their losses
on cotton taken on settlement are
fully ten per cent. 80 that, even at
fifty per cont. advance on the price
of supplies furnished, they make
only fifteon per cent, which is not
exorbitant The farmers are not
satisfied with this explanation, md
their organization against the mer-
chants is rapidly extending.
The grievance of the planters is
not unreal or fancied, but the
remedy proposed is of the most
doubtful character. The lien system
is to blame for this state of things,
and the excessive charges for sup-
plies grow out of the credit opera
tions on the farm. Tho merchants
are not at fault that this system
brings them losses every year. by
which they are compelled to charge
high rates for the protection of
their own interests. But the
farmer has an adequate remedy in
raising his own supplies, and not
relying upon the merchant for
advances. The abolition of the lien
law in South Carolina has cnused
tho farmers to make preparations
for cash purchases in tho future,
and the large grain crop of tho
present year will enable them to
pursue different course hereafter.
Tho profit now charged by the
merchant will be saved by the
farmers, losses will not be incurred
by making advances, farming will
become more profitable occupa-
ton, and the general prosperity
will be enhanced by tho adoption of
o cash basis in oil business trans-
actions. But the "Mississippi plan"
is not apt to succeed in this in.
stance, as the merchants doubtless
have the obligations of the farmers
for supplies advanced at prices
agreed upon before delivery

THE BULLION TAX.

The mine.owner's paper, the Virginia
Enterprise. thinks it an outrage that
mines should be taxed "four times .
year while other property is taxed but
once That argument will not hold
water. and the Enterprise does not be-
lieve there is anything logical in the as
sertion. Notwithstanding It advocates
the repeal Of the bullion tax. Bullion is
not taxed but once in this State, and an
instance cannot be cited to the contrary.
What difference would it make If the tax
WAS not levied until the end OF the year
tho mining company would have the
use Of the money and the county or
State would be out of the use OF IL, that's
all. The leading paper of the State has
had nothing to say on this question
until now. 1t was not policy to do so
before the election; some other paper
might take the cue and give tho alarm,
and a candidate for Legislative honors
favorable to the repeal Of the bullion tax
might be defeated. The RECORD. among
other papers. brought the subject before
the psoplc Q number of times, and if
their wishes have besn defeated in the
election of members favorable to the re-
peal of the bullion tax il cannot be said
that no alarm was sounded in time.
Let those who seek honors political vote
for the repeal of the law now under MIS-
cussion and it would be as well for them
to emigrate. OF else reluctantly consent
to bury all ambitious hopes. The En-
terprise was in duty bound to say some
thing, and it advances the specious
argument that mines are taxed four times
agar, while other property escapes by
paying tax but once. The mine.owners
Of Virginia will. repeal the bullion tax
even though it is necessary to buy both
branches of the Legislature. More
money will be used in the present in
stance than was ever used in the pur-
chase OF seat in the United States SEN
ate. II is to be hoped that the present
Legislature cannot be approached with
money. Let the residents of San Fran.
CISCO owning paying mines in Nevada pay
something for the privilege Of holding
the best mines in the State; It is the
only chance we have at them.
