THE BILL.

"OUSE bill No. 1858, introduced
IL by Major McClammy, provides
for the issuing to the several States
$50 per capita. The fund so issued to
the States is to be divided pro rata
between the various townships in the
different counties in the State. The
money so issued to be loaned by the
States to the people at l per cent. per
annum, the interest to be applied to
the school fund. This would give
North Carolina $50, 600, 900 to be
loaned on the zeal property of the
State and give the State an annual
revenue of $3.50, 600. No person is
to be allowed the loan of this fund
over $4,000. Preference to be given
to those already mortgaged.
The amount that would be due to
any county, township, city, town or
school district a be easily ascer
tanned by taking the total number OF
inhabitants and multiplying it by 80.
1t is believed taat the Sub Treasury
would give all the relief that this bill
would, but if they fail to report favor
ably las they willy for the Sub Treas.
ury, then we a say to the politician
We offered you our land, our pro
duce, this was all we had to offer, and
you failed to give us relief.
If your candidates will not pledge
themselves to the support Of the Sub
Treasury or any other form Of relief,
we will be forced to ask for candi
dates tina, will.

PROOF OF ITS STRENGTH, AS
THE PEOPLES MEASURE.

THE attitude of the people on the
l. sub-treasury bill, one would
think would be a tempting bait to
either of the political parties. If by
any possibility it could be contorted
into a party measure, how ~iercely
the wal would rage for it aud against
it. But II as the peoples measure.
Democrats and Republicans alike pre-,
sen5ed it to Congress. 1t is a declar-
alton of wal between the people and
Wall street pluto cracy. 1t is a sub
ject of remark that neither Of
the political parties in C1n-
gress, has ventured to caucus on the
measure. The truth is that both par.
ties are between styx and charibdjs,
or this bill. If either should caucus
on it and take position for it, Wall
street and its myrimidous would
slaughter the party--if they should
oppose it the people would sit down
on the party. Thus Congress and the
politicians are disregarding the inter
ests of the people. Meantime the PEG
pie are watching anxiously and vigil
antly the course of events and will
have something to say later on.

Tertiary. We don't like this whole
sale moving of Iredell people down
this way when Iredell is such q good
country, but it shows that it is not a
healthy place for rogues. Sheriff
Allison is not only q good officer, but
he is a first rate farmer, and we sup
pose he is going to try to do even
better, for he subscribed for The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER while here.
~. The North Carolina L~nteUtgemcer,
the new weekly, edited by MI. 7. R.
Jernigan, of tais city, appeared this
week. 1t is a large eight column
paper handsomely printed and well
edited. It will be devoted to current,
domestic and foreign news and politics.
It makes a fine Start and it's success is
assured beyond a doubt.
~ Why is it hat taxes are lower
campaign years than other years ?
True, it is an old custom for the au-
thorities to meet and announce that
they find that the rate on the hundred
dollars worth Of property will be a
little less. But why is it that the
Ship of State will a0at in less water
when the campaign is on ? Are the
expenses less during such years T?
+ Mr.. John D. Parker, who rep
resented Perquimans county in the
last General Assem- ply, writes that he
did not ac:ept any free pass from any
railroad company. State Secretary
Beddingfeld, who was one of Wake
county's representatives, says he rode
into Raleigh on the cars every day
during the session and did not use or
accept a free pass. He says he cannot
see why any member of the House or
any Judge who has refused a pass
should hesitate to say so.

WE HAVE ASKED FOR BREAD
WILL THEY GIVE US
\ A STONE ?

WE have noted with interest the
w methods employed by the op-
ponents of the Sub Treasury bill for
defeating that measure. THE Pro
GREssIvE FARMER notified It's readers
weeks ago that it would not be met
and discussed fairly and squarely.
President Polk, in his address before
the Senate Committee, sail: We do
not claim it as the best or the only
measure through which relief may be
brought TO our suffering and distressed
Poop 2, but we submit it as the best
we have been abs 10 devise. We
would 0e only too happy to receive at
you" n ,nds a wiser and a better meas.
ure. But, NJ. Chairman, these suf.
feriug millions must have relief. They
ask tor bread and will not be content
with a stone. They are not asking for
charity, but they are demanding
justice"
How is this appeal o. the farmers
and masses through the President Of
our Order being met? Just as we
predicted. Representatives Oates and
Herbert, Of Alabama, Mills, of Texas,
and Carlisle, of Kentucky, each have
stated publicly their views in oppo
sition tt the bill. They dissect ard
analyze it; they fight the details Of
the bill and declare it unconstitutional,
impracticable, extravaganza, eyc. Do
they prove these charges? No, hey
assume that the people will do now
as they have done in the past, simply
accept and swallow at one gulp their
simple declarations as truth. Not
one Of them has ventured to prove by
argument any of these objections.
But suppose they prove all that they
so fippantly assert. Suppose they
show that it is unconstitutional and
that it will not do. What is
their plan duty q? What are these
men n Congress for ? President
Polk implicitly admitted that the bill
might be improved, and in the most
cordial ann assured Congress that
the farmers would gladly accept any
thing that would be better. Bu5 it
should not be forgotten that President
Polk did another thing: By official
statistics he showed the appalling con-
dition Of the farmers o. the country.
Thus far, in all the discussions of the
measure, by Congress and by the
press, we fail to find a single intima-
ton from any source, that his argu-
ments were not correct. Their silence
is their admission that the terrible
picture he presented was not over,
drawn. Then the position is this:
The farmers of the land are in a ter
rible condition They ask for relief
and present a measure to secure it.
Congressman are attempting to dodge
the issue-the question of relief-by
finding fault with the details of the
bill. Why don't they offer to amend
and perfect the bill, if it be defective?
Or, if this cannot be done, why don't
they offer some substitute for it that
will give relief? Do they think the
people such fools as not to see through
this demagogical dodge and device ?
we serve notice now on those politj
cal trlcksters that when they come
oack to their "dear people" with the
plea that our bill was all wrong. and

A NUT HARD TO CRACK

In The PROGRESSIVE FARMER under
the heading Nuts to crack at the
farmers 6reside," we find one which
our soft brain cannot crack. Il reads:
There is every Indication for an
other heavy crop in this section this
season; and the farmers are in ad.
vance with their work. Now listen
for the usual cry of "over-produc-
tion," and low prices-wh1le thou
sands of hungry and unemployed men,
women and their children are suffer
ing for the want of it World Of
Liberty.
Put this "nut" alongside of the
s~ub-treasury plan and all the farmers
in this World of liberty " may crack
it all winter. The farmers are going
to have a rich harvest and want lie
government to build them warehouses
in which to store their g ain and wa
for a rise in the price while thou
sands of hungry and unemploysd men,
women and their children are suffer
ing for the want of it." Why don't
those hungry and unemployed men
make a "heavy crop" and keep their
women and children from suffering :?
What help will they get from the sub
treasury plan? Will the Plan raise
the price of grain ? If 50 how a
the hungry and unemployed" avoid
increased suffering ? These are nuts
hard to crack. We are confused md
want help, Who can crack this nut ?
The above is from the Hickory
Press and Carolgnian, Well, really,
that is not such a hard one after all.
The Sub Treasury warehou Sc system
would have nothing to do with people
who are starving. The Ubiquitous
tariff and railroad combines are the
main cause Of the starving people.
The Western farmer gets four or
five dollars per ton for his corn. A
big railroad com bination will not haul
it to Pennsylvania for less than So
per ton. The grain dealer gets So
per ton for weighing it out to the
miners. The dealer gers half as much
for handling the corn as the farmer
who works all summer gets to raise
it, and the railroad gets tn ce as much
for hauling it a few huodred miles as
does the farmer who raises it. Is
the farmer responsible for the starva-
ton? Well, we will turn the picture
over. The Pennsylvania miner gets
So per ton for digging coal to pay for
this extortion. The dealer charges
ST. per ton for his services and the
railroads charge S. per ton for haul.
ing the coal to the West. Don't you
see where the sta wing" business
comes in in each Cas- !?
This don't interfere with the ware
house business. This will take the
farmers out Of the hands of the grain
and cotton exchanges, and if the
miners and other people don't enjoy
starvation they must open their eyes
and vote with the farmers and try to
put men in the u. S. Senate and
House that will have the nerve to put
in force laws that will prevent these
soulless railroad aid mining corpora
tions from forc.nk people to work for
such prices and from charging such
exorbitant freight rates. Now take
your little hammer and strike a few
blows along this line and you will find
the nut will soon be a thousand frag-
ments.
