PLUMB DEMANDS AN ANSWER.

Senator Plumb is getting in his work
on free coinage already. 1t is pretty
safe to predict that he will, before con-
gress adjourns, force direct vote from
both houses. The administration will
protest and the money power of the east
will turn on the screws, but the senator
from Kansas will simply elevate his
right shoulder and insist that gentlemen
shall please answer AYE or no." This
dickering IN gold and silver bullion by
the government has got TO stop. Silver
is a standard metal, next to gold the
most valuable, and as America is pro-
ducing as much or more of it than any
other country, there is no reason why
she should not only stand by its value,
but become at once its patron and
monopolist. Population and trade have
been increasing much more rapidly
in proportion than the production of the
precious metals, therefore the world is
short of money and there is not parti-
in an unhealthy supply or in an over
production, or that it will effect the
value of these metals any more or to
anv greater extent than free mining and
free furnaces effect the values of iron
and lead and c PIP and tin disastrous
ly. The supply of all characters and
kinds of money is short, and the dollar
of gold, silver and paper, because of
relative scarcity, is dear and of too great
enhancement in purchasing power,
which fact enables the creditor to rob
the debtor. Free coinage or
other increase in the volume
of currency based on standard
values, will alone readjust the
relations between and render equitable
the property value of the debtor and the
dollar of the creditor.
Plumb understands this whole money
question. He cOmprehends the national
finances in all their tendencies and ram
ifications, as well and as clearly as does
John Sherman, or the Secretary of the
Treasury, or as the greatest security
nabob of Wall street. He has given the
best years of his life to its study, and he
is no wild fiat theorist. Had he
eschewed political life and
stuck to money getting he
would have been conspicuous
national financier today. Before he was
elected to the United States senate, soon
after the passage of the act demonetizing
silver, he raised his voice against the
action declaring that congress had been,
in that act, controlled by the money
interests rather than by the interests of
the people. SO his present attitude and
demand are neither new or inconsiderate.
He is but working out the conviction of
years, in the success of which largely
rests the hopes and chances of the Re
publican party in 1892.

PREVENTING CONsoLID ATOMS.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.

As YOU propose no method of untying
or cutting off this knot-and of course
all other knots of similar character
will YOU permit a member of the Cumu-
lative Tax association to explain through
the EAGLE. how he would do so! If SO,
here it is:
We would have the harvest ng ma

done: By giving 10 manufacturers who
should start up in this state and operate
independently, protection against the
hostility of the consolidated manufact-
urers. be thew in the state or out Of IL.
How would we do this? By system Of
taxation which increases In rate
with increase IN the value
of the establishments or cOmbi-
nations of establishments taxed. Thus, If
/ cent on the dollar was the rate levied on
a $40. 600 establishment. the rate upon a
S20, 900 establishment should be ] lilo

Hshment. I 2-l0 cents on the dollar; on a
$40. 900 establishment $40 cents on the

purposes. az a single affair and subjected
to the rate corresponding N their united
values. This would prevent the exces-
sive capitalization Of individual establish
uents. or the consolidation or pooling OF
separate establishments, within the state,
and we would have nothing TO fear from
that source.
But how would we protect our home
kansas manufacturers from the outside
,other states manufacturers under this
principle:
BY a section in our tax laws something
ike this:
That if any dealer in mining. manu-
featuring or other products shall handle,
buy OF sell the products Of trusts
and monopolies when those Of other

obtained for mercantile purposes. the

critics included in the said trusts or mo-
nopolies."
In the face of such requirement as
this the $50, 900, 900 consultations could
not very well ship in their wares and
temporarily undersell our local manufac-
turers. with a view of crushing them out
and getting sole control The rate of
taxation would be such that they could
not begin to compete with the independ-
ent operators.
1t is thus seen how we would protect
our local manufacturers from the consol-
idations when the same were outside the
state Consolidation being prevented
within the state. of course there would
be competition between the local manu-
facturers and prices would be fair and
just.
To appearances, this tax is unequal.
If that were the real fact, it would con-
stitute grave objection. But the tax Is
not unequal, as can be shown. An IN
dustry which it costs $4,000, for In
stance, to establish, and which cannot
be built and operated with any
less money, can have no
less lightly taxed competition 10
prevent its owners from adding the
excess taxation to their expense accounts
and thereby making as large rate Of
profit in the average as other persons do.
In other words, they have it in their
power to cause the tax 10 distribute it
self to a sufficient degree 10 do away
with all that partakes of an inequality.
This makes the tax fair and just and
equal one in the end.
1t must not be imagined, however,
that because an industry adequate IN
size. or only so large as it must be, can
distribute its tax. an over-large instltu-
ton or combination can, for that Is not
so. Over-largeness or combination not
being really necessary to the success of
an enterprise, as adequacy of size Is, IN
situations of that character can have
more lightly taxed competition, and
that would prevent rise i'll prices to
meet the excess of taxation TO which
they would be subjected.
Trusting that this method of cutting
off the knot will meet with your approx
al, for believe you are ready to favor
any method which may appear to you to
be feasible and PRACTICABLE, l remain
yours very truly,

The Atchison Champion says the
country is all right when it has 'abun-
dant crops and good money" The En-
poria Republican endorses the PROPOSE
ton and improves upon it by transposing
it. 1t puts it this way: The country
needs something more than abundant
crops and good money-it needs good
crops and abundant money" The
EAGLE endorses both because they mean
the same thing and embOdy popular
sentiment upon the questions involved.
Crops cannot always be controlled, but
the volume of money can, i'll large
measure if not absolutely, and the pre-
vailing sentiment of the country is that
it be done by the government, to the
extent not only of issuing the circulating
medium direct but also of very largely
increasing the volume.

WHEAT EXPERIMENTS.
Listed Better than Drilled Seed--The Old
and the New Way.

The Kansas experiment station has
been making some experiments in list
ing wheat. \ long narrow plat, meas
uring q trihe more than One-half acre
(.5S4 of an acre., was listed with wheat
of the Zimmerman variety, for COM
parison with an adjoining plat of drilled
wheat. In his last annual report
Director +. NJ Shelton described the
method and results as follows: Three
small double shovels-minia ure listing
plows-were secured to the frame of a
Buckeve one-hOrse drill in such a man
ner as to make six-inch deep burrows in
advance of the three discharge spOutS of
the drill. The implement put the seed
wheat in burrows eight to ten inches
deep and about fourteen inches apart.
During the growing season there was
but little apparent difference between
this listed wheat and that which was
drilled, with the exception of a slightly
darker green color Of the former, and
that it attained the same degree of
maturity about three days later than the
drilled wheat The previous year it was
noticed that a similarly listed plat grew
much more vigorously than drilled
wheat. and that it had a decided ten
dency to lodge.
This year it showed no tendency to
lodge, nor was the straw taller to any
noticeable degree. 1t was cut June ,
with the following result:

Ii will be seen that while the wheat
sown in the ordinary fashion falls a
little below thirty bushels. the listed
wheat yielded thirty-five and one-third
bushels to the acre. This Is a gain of
five and one-half bushels in favor Of
listing. Should further experience bear
out with this result. il Will be distinct
step in advance in our method of cult
waiting wheat. 1t is a question if the
listed plat would have done equally well
had this been a wet year with Conse-
quenJly a heavier growth of straw. We
might then expect 1t to lodge more or
less, with the inevitable result of a light
crop of grain. IL would lodge more
readily for the reason that having more
space in which TO spread, a large portion
of the straw starts out at the base at an
inclined angle, and if heavy it will the
more easily break down. When we have
an even stand of broad-Casted OF drilled
wheat, the straw grows almost perpen-
dicularly upward and can thus better
sustain its own weight Ii Is too early
to eXPatiate on the benefits of this new
method of culture, but it seems reason
able 10 suppose that it viii be a success
