From the resolutions adopted by the
National Faners' Alliance recently
assembled al Chicago from all parts of
the country, the North and the South,

the following, which deserve special at
teniion. We do not concur in the opin-
ion that Congress "only" can protect
the people from extortion and unjust
discrimination by corporations but hold
in the language of the Ohio and Penn
sylvania Democratic platforms that the
necessary legislation should be provid-
ed by calling into exercise the power
delegated to Congress to regulate COM
merce between the States and the pow
er reserved to the States to exercise it
within the States

THE RESOLUTIONS

WHEREAS, Farmers and others are or
pressed by unequal taxation, by subsidie
to monOpolies, By selfish partisans and dis.
honest officials, by railroad extortions aud
unjust Determinations, and By other privi-
legged classes; and
WHEREAS, Congress only can regulate
commerce among the States, a national
union of all interested is Necessary for sue
cess; therefore,
ResoIeed, That farmers and all in sympa-
thy with them unite in local, State, and
national societies for mutual agreement and
united action.
Res0lved That all property, real, person
al, corporate, and individual, should be
equally taxed, and that the holder of a
mortgage or other lien on property should
be taxed for the amount of his lien, and the
owner for the balance of his property.
ResoEred, That we favor just income
tax.
Resoleed, That the salaries of all public
officials should be only fair compensation
for-services rendered that all Government
positions should be elective as far as practi-
cable, and that the appointment of Post
masters and other officers by the successful
party is gross violation of civil-service re-
form, and fruitful source of corruption.
ResOlred, That it is the duty of the gem
eral Government to at once exercise its con-
stitutional right to regulate commerce be-
tween the States by passing such laws and
establishing such regulations as will secure
to the whole people just and impartial rates
for the transportation of freight and pass
engers.

| SUPERINTENDENT jackson, of Castle
Garden, New York, the grand depo
where the hundreds of thousands of I'm
migrants from abroad are landed, has
published the following notice in the
Railroad Gazette
ain February, 1879, the New York Com
missioners of Emigration issued a circular
! inviting the attention of the authorities OF
| the several States and Territories to the lack
| OF Information as to the most desirable places
for immigrants to settle, and Offering to keep
open for the inspection of immigrants all
acquisitions for laborers received from the
proper authorities, giving address of en-
ployers, occupations, wages, etc, at places
where immigrants are wanted The ONLY
State which has given much attention to this
is, we believe, South Carolina, whose agent
at Columbia Communicates with the farm
ers and other employers of labor in the State
and sends their orders to New York with
the emigrant's transpor tation. The baggage
OF the emigrant, if he can be found, is then
checked through to his destination and the
checks sent to his employer. The expert
enee OF the State, and several ompanies and
private individuals has, we believe, been
favorable to this system, Considerable
difficulty has occurred in the case of single
men 50 transported, but not in the case of
married men with families. The Commits
sioners have now an order for 1000 German
families, which, however, they cannot supply
Immediately, as probably not more than
one-eighth of the total emigration are open
to such arrangements"
Some of the States have been greatly
benefited by acting on this suggestion.
The Mississippi Commissioner of Immi-
grafton has not been able to get upon it
for the lack Of funds to advertise the
which the State affords for
industrious and enterprising immigrants
in search of homes.

acceptability of paper money depends mere

Government to keep its promise to pay the
notes in coin on demand. Back of every
silver certificate is solid silver dollar in
the Treasury vaults, and everybody knows
that that piece of metal, which is of fixed
weight, and valuable because it is in uni
versal demand, can be obtained in exchange
for the asking. There are about S64,-
900, 900 worth of these certificates in use in
the United States. In like manner the

ISSUES OF FEE cANvAss.
The Bonded State Debt. How Created
and How Reduced.


/ When the alien government, which
was put upon Mississippi at the point
of the bayonet, and which was over
thrown by the great uprising of the
/ people in the canvass of 1875, was in
power, it was the custom to make
appropriations far exceeding the rev.
enues derived by taxation, notwith-
standing the fact, that each year the
taxes were increased in amount. Audi
tor Musgrove Republican, said in his
report of 1873:
Il will be seen, upon a perusai Of the
I reports Of this Office, that for the past three
| years and the present one now before you,
/ that In no single instance have the receipts
proper reached the expenditures of any
/ year but, on the contrary, the latter have
far exceeded the former, and hence debt,
| year; after year to which has to be added the
sum OF $2lI ,635 % due at the commence
ment Of the present administration"
This profigate management threw
upon the market large amounts Of State
warrants with no money in the Treasu-
ry to redeem them. These warrants
fluctuated in value from 30 to IS cents
on the dollar, at the will of the specu-
lators, and money sharks. Just before
the meetings of the Legislature, war
rants, in anticipation Of large appropri-
atoms, invariably fell to their lowest
point. To Obviate this, the Radical
legislators, not relishing the deprecated
value of their own pay warrants, passed
funding bills, in which all warrants
issued prior to certain dates, were
required to be funded in bonds bearing
s per cent interest. Thus heavy debt
was created, and year by year increased,
during all the years Of Radical rule,
until in 1875, it reached the amount of
l,707,056 GA. For this debt the
State had nothing to show, except ele-
egantly dressed officials who were strut |
ting their brief career on the public
stage This was Radical fnanciering. |

inherited, and have had this debt to pay.
