THE PICKLER PLAN.
Macune Continues His Arguments -Criti'
cisms and Doubts.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Mr. Macune,
representing the Farmers Alliance, con-
tinued his argument before the Ways
and Means Committee in favor Of the
Pickler bill to establish sub-trcasuries
for the receipt of agricultural products
and was questioned by members OF the
committee respecting the details and
probable effect of the bill
Mr. Bayne wished to know IL one eff
feet would not be to encourage over
production. Mr.. Macune replied that
it would not, for just as soon as the
farmers calling became more profitable
than others there would be an influx of
men into that business which would re-
suit in reaction and finally the restora-
ton of an equilibrium. To his mind no
fixed volume of currency, nomatter how
great, would meet the needs of agri-
culture. It.wanted an elastic medium.
The farmer sold his crops in the fall
when prices we're lowest and bought his
supplies before harvest when prices
were highest. Crops were marketed in
two or three months of the year and
this marketing annually caused great
Strlngency In money.
Mr.. Flower feared that the plan
would lead to banking on livestock,
iron, lead and silver ore. They were
getting along now in the latter direc-
ton at the other end of the Capitol. In
time the people would have every thing
sin hook" In the course of ten years
the Government would be nursing the
children and the women working in the
| field. The true remedy for the farmers
| ills was the manufacturer plan. They
should regulate production, raise only
enough produce to meet the peoples
wants and thereby get fair prices.
Mr.. Macune proceeded to explain the
process proposed to regulate the issue OF
produce certificates. He said that the
necessity for excluding imports of agri-
cultural products was obvious If the
quality of the certificates was to be
preserved. The certificates would con-
stitute the soundest and best currency
in the world. Probably not one-half
of the $50, 1000, 900 appropriation asked
for to put the new machinery in action
would be required, but the sum should
not be absolutely fixed at minimum
as in time it would be necessary to ex'
tend the system to include all of the
the products of labor not covered by
patents.
In conclusion Mr.. Macune said that
the National Alliance had not sent out
single printed petition and that those
petitions and demands now pouring in
upon Congress were the spontaneous Of
| ferings of the farmers of the United
States, who were convinced that they
knew what they wanted and were going
| to have it.

Judge Drummond Dead.

CHICAGO, May 17.-Judge Drummond,
the venerable ex-judge of the United
States Circuit Court, died at his home
in Wheaton, H., at eleven o'clock last
night of old age. Judge Drummond
was one of the longest in active service
upon the bench of all the circuit judges
in the country. He was appointed in
1880 and officiated continuously till
1884, when growing infirmity of body
induced him to retire. President Arthur
appointed Judge Gresham as his sue
cessor. Judge Drummond was eighty
years and seven months ola at the time
of his death.

A Farmer on the Tax Laws.
CORNELIUS, Nov. |,

CORNELIUS, Nov. l, 1890.
ED. JOURNAL: II you will permit
q farmer to express his ideas in
reference to the yexed tax problem,
l would suggest that there is a true
and lust way to settle 1t, aud think
If those WHO have peeu the most
promiuent in suggesting our laws
had been working in the interest OF
the people it would have been settled
long ago. There is one question
tnat a man must understand, before
he can determine the value Of prnp-
erty, and that is the value of money.
The value ofa dollar Is the legal ill.,
terest that man may take for It's
use. The Interest paid for the use OF
money is its rental aud the value OF
all other property as Insured 10y the
interest ON money, hence the true
cost value of all properly is It's rental
and our assessor should he required
by Law to assess all property, AT It's
rental value, notes aud bonds should
be assesses at their face, 50 long u
they draw the legal rate Of
interest. When they draw less
there should be ~ deduction
made, ifthey draw more they should
be added higher, that is, If one
hundred dollar note draws II p,r
cent, when the legal rate is but
eight, to make just assortment, II
should be added at $3.50. The
foregoing idea l am fully aware
will be objected to 10y money
loaners aud rent gatherers, especial
ly those who object to taxing credits.
If that class of men would object to
the taxins of money, there would
be some reason exhibited, If not
actual justice; for money is useless
to a man when locked in his safe;
lie must part with it before he cab
get any income from it; he mus
either loan or buy property, hence 1t
would be just to excerpt money
from taxation, aud the people would
not loan much. But when we are
asked to exempt credit notes and
bonds when there is 20 dollars of
credit to every dollar in money, that
is bringing to the creditor from two
to four times the income that can be
gained by the farmer or lalborer,
would te au injustice that no free peo-
Pile should submit to. The people are
not SO ignorant of the nature aud
power of money now as they have
been III the past. Many of us have
learned that the rate of interest fixes
the price of our products and labor,
and we will not willingly give the
money loauer the privilege of fixing
the price of money, While the prices
Of all other commodities are deter
mined 10y tine rate of interest.
With your permission, will at
another time show the effect of high
and fluctuating rates of interest Oh
