BY this report it will be seen that
there is at this moment little
more than $25 per capita in circu-
lation, leaving the s616, 79l, TAB in
the treasury out of the calculation
altogether. Another feature that
we would call the attention of our
young friend to, is that the "circu-
lating medium" has been increased
nearly ninety millions of dollars
within the last twelve months
increase of about 81 so per capita.
Another matter that we would call
to remembrance is that the Demo-
cratic party is committed to an in
crease of the currency, and meas
ures have lately been put on foot
to that end, which will doubtless
be carried out, if the political
jumping jacks, that our young
friend of the Comrade seems to
follow blindly, do not lead too many
of the people off on false issues, and
thus spoil everything by giving the
Republican protection" monopo-
lists Another lease of power.
In conclusion we would say to
our young friend that whenever he
has pumped himself dry and is
gaping for an idea we will be
pleased to give him another lesson.
Don't be bashful; we have been all
along there, and know exactly
how It is'

Trump ON Prohibition.
TORIES REST. Feb. Is, 1891.

Editor C0yur Chronicle:
A line or two from this lovely retreat
may prove acceptable to your many read
ers, and write these few items trusting
that they may prove worthy of small
place in your paper.
The recent unprecedented bad weather
has retarded agricultural operations very
greatly, and will make tho planting in
terests feel the backset for the next two
months But statistics prove that moth
ing has ever been gained in an early
spring, SO far as the yield of cotton and
corn is concerned. The health of this
community is much better than has been
for the past three months. The grippe"
with It's attendant characteristics. has
had full sway, and sent several of our citi-
zens to the other shore.
While these things were beyond the
control of humankind, it was not expec-
ted that the result of your last election
would cross any Of your whisky men to
this shore; but it has, and. more than
that, it has crossed over several valuable
acquisitions to the Toper's Rest, who can
find at the store of L. B. Price anything
from a magnolia straight to a red star
cheroot to soothe the nerves. BY the
way, l am informed that the above cher
root is very popular and saleable at Fair
mount, having been used freely in the
purchase Of, or rather to influence the
colored voter to cast his ticket against
license, and against his will, in the recent
election in ward one, in your parish.
Shame on the bribed and briber. Rest
assured that no inhabitant of Toper's
Rest can be influenced with red star
cheroot. No indeed, no cheroot wins
here; it takes pure red liquor to influence
any one Of the denizens Of Toper's Rest.
Yes, Price has white washed his establish
ment and opened mp his store.
With head full Of sense,
A heart full of sin,
A nickel for drink,
And the sugar throwed in,
he proposes in legitimate way to carry
on his business without being subject to
prosecution for violation OF law.
/ am opposed to prohibition, and at the
same time l am opposed to whisky, be-
cause both injure me. Prohibition has
been failure wherever tried, in Maine.
Kansas and Colfax. am opposed to
prohibition because it does not prohibit.
l am also opposed to open violation of
the law, and violently, vigorously and
opposed to low and sneak
ing violation Of the law. A man that
will reach for thief with the right hand
and at the same time steal with the left |
is worse than the thief cried after. In
other <words. a party selling liquor in
open violation Of the law is more honor
able and more to be respected than one
who shouts prohibition at every street
,orner, and at the same time keeps Jug
under the counter to retail to such Gus
TONER'S as won't squeal.

Senator Walthall has been drawn
out on the sub-treasury bill by a
committee from the Carroll county,
Miss, alliance. This alliance de-
sired his views on the same on
points of its constitutionality, and,
if unconstitutional, a suggestion
from him of some plan that would
afford the relief sought was re-
quested, as follows:
1--WE the undersigned COMMITTEES. were
appointed by the Carroll county alliance
in session, and we're requested to ascertain
your views on the constitutionality Of the
sub-treasury bill now pending in Con-
gress. II you believe the same to be nm
constitutional, please state wherein and
In what particular. Further, can you
submit some plan for US to advocate for
the relief of the masses Of the people"
The Senator replied as follows:
"The bill you refer to provides for
the erection of government ware
houses, necessarily at enormous ex-
pense, in all the counties in the
United States, probably less than
one-third of the whole number of
which are producing and selling
annually certain designated pro-
ducts exceeding in value certain
named sum. The articles specified
are wheat, corn, oats, cotton and
tobacco, and the annual value is
fixed at 100000.
THE owners of such products
may deposit them in those ware
houses and receive from the gov
eminent 8 per cent of their market
value, to be determined by govern
ment officials, under regulations to
be prescribed by the secretary Of
the treasury. Receipts are to be
issued to the depositors showing
the amount and value of the de-
posts, the sums advanced and the
charges to be paid, and twelve
months is allowed for the redemp-
ton of the products by the pay
ment of the advances with interest
at per cent per annum, with the
cost of insurance and other charges.
If not redeemed within the time
prescribed the products are to be
sold at auction to pay the debt and |
charges, the excess, If any, to go to |
the holders of the receipts.
'The sum of $50, OOO, 600 is to be |
appropriated to carry the bill into |
effect, and even this large amount |
is believed to be wholly inadequate |
to the erection of the proposed |
warehouses by competent persons
who have made the calculation.
IF such q scheme as this were
in operation, some of its many i'll |
effects, / think, would be the fol-
lowing:
81. The taxation of the great
body of the people to provide the
means of conferring supposed
benefits upon q particular class of
the population, is q great evil
against which those most interested
IN agriculture, especially in the
Southern States, have been warning |
Tor many years.

BY the government, between its
,wn citizens and the loan of public
money at q rate of interest far be-
ow what is customary to q class
limited not alone to those engaged 4

$2,275, 100000 within the limits of these

people of the large and productive
counties would have over those in
counties where they do not produce
enough of the designated crops to
entitle them to government ware

Fiye-Cent Sugar.

The Republican orators in the
contested states are making a
good deal OF an ado over the fact
that the consumer can now get
twenty pounds of sugar for 81
There is no denying that this is a
great and good thing. Sugar is
almost as cheap as flour. The
only trouble is when the Republi-
can orators point to free and eonse-
quently cheap sugar they point to
the beneficent effects of Democrat
ic free trade. Whenever they in.
vite attention to the effect of nc
tariff on sugar they invite attention
also to what might be expected II
duty on other articles was removed.
To claim credit for the tree-sugar
is to admit more or less a failure
in regard to other articles on
which an import duty is levied.

sugar the Republican orators sim,
ply claim credit for being just tina,
