LAST week we gave the law regula-
ting the use of brands and ear marks
and this week the law enacted to
prevent the illegal branding of stock
is reproduced. AT the meeting of
the West Missouri Stock Growers
Association last week ut Mandan, the
brand law was favorably commented
upon, which conveys the impression
that it is a good IL and that the
trainers did not secure its passage in

Millionairos and Subscription Ii SITS.

"Millionaires are as plenty as black
berries in this town." said a gentleman
who has been active in pushing the sub
scription for the statue to General Grant.

hold of a subscription list for any worthy
purpose and see how rapidly it swells.
Look at the Sherman statue fund. 1t
will be completed in a few days, and we
could have passed the $4,000 mark sew
eral days ago if we had not limited the
highest subscription to 81 900. The prin-
cipal drawback about going to an ordi-
nary millionaire with a subscription list
is his sensitiveness about making his
name too conspicuous on the list.
"For instance, a mar worth s., 900
or So, 900, 900 will run his eye over the
list, and if he sees the names of Wander
bilt, Rockefeller or Huntington he will
say, We'll, of course it won't look well
for me to give as much IS those men.
People will think that I am trying to at
tract attention to myself Now, if that
man had been askedto start the subscrip-
ton he probably would have put his

Supplying Moving Engines with Water.
By a new invention which is being
tried on some of the southern railroads
it is thought possible that engines can
DO supplied with water when necessary
without stopping. The system is ex-
planned as follows: There is to be q
tower over each we'll or stream that is
to supply water, about forty feet high,
and from this tower is suspended by a
wire cable a tank or bucket holding
about $500 gallons of water. The same
is raised by passing locomotives, and
the water discharged automatically into
a storage tank. The bucket that con-
veys the water to the storage tank, when
emptied, goes back automatically into
the well or stream Of supply, and is filed
ready for the next locomotive. This
saves the expense of a stationary engine
and fuel, with engine and such expense
as attends the present system, and gives
equal guarantee of reliable supply

at per cent. she would receive annu-
ally 81 100000 in interest. With that
she could establish sinking fund Of
100000 per annum, and in twenty
years pay off her funded debt.
With this in hand she could begin
to reduce State taxation at once; could
largely increase her school fund and
establish bureau of immigration
and in very few years discontinue
taxation except for county and NUM-
cipal purposes. The borrowers from
the State, who could get value received
in the loan at low interest, would
thus take the place of the taxpayers.
Kansas could lend to her citizens at
5 or or 8 per cent. and they could
lift the present mortgaged debt Of
1926, 100000, due mainly to the East,
and at the same time put interest
money enough in the State treasury
to relieve them from State taxation.
He contends that as all the money
that can be borrowed is in the Eastern
States it is practically useless to the
South and West.
Under the system he advocates, the
money and security are in the same
State, are neighbors and will exchange
and the interest will go to the benefit
of both lender and borrower and oil the
people in the State, whereas now the
interest paid as a rule goes East. The

tributed among the whole people
taken by States. He contends that
the present banking system is
monopoly because it is based on but
one class Of securities-Government
bonds; second, that it is monarchical,
being fashioned on the plan of the
Bank of England during the first
century Of its existence; and, third,
that our banking system is not based
on money or coin, but on paper credit
The whole system rests on the Gov
ernment's credit, whereas his pro-
posed system would rest on coin in the
Treasury sufficient to meet all the de-
mands of foreign commerce and do
nestle trade.
Mr.. Norwood's substitute for the Al
lance subtreasury plan avoids Federal
action. Each State lends to the farm.
ers on land and on its own especial
products at low interest.
Thus he says he establishes equality
for all and shows favoritism to none.
He contends that his plan obviates
every objection hitherto made to the
Alliance sub-treasury plan and gives
the farmers sure relief, as the allot-
ment of currency he proposes not only
equalizes it, but, if lent by the States
as States, the volume Of currency thus
distributed will remain permanent IN
each State, because the State being the
lender and the principal being lent TO
its citizens it must return to the State
with interest as the principal falls due.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1891-10-01

amount per capita fixed by Congress
for the whole population being $40,
Georgia would be entitled to $8O,0OO,-
600. But her present banking capital
being $90,OO0,O0O, that sum must be
deducted, and her quota of legal ten
der would be $50,000,000.
This rateable amount, in circulation
he proposes, shall be used by each
State according as the people of the
State shall determine, that is, it may
be used in banking or be let by the
State, acting through q bureau of fl
nance, to individuals ON such securi-
ties as a prudent bank now takes for
loans. His plan is for each State to
hold percentage OF this currency to
meet squeezes and scoops by Wall
street and to foster barking with a
part, and lend the remainder to indi-
yiduals and corporations; that each
State shall fix by law reasonable rate
of interest not above 5 per cent, and
by law name the securities on which
the bureau of finance shall lend the
percentage of value to be lent and the
time the land shall be one of the Sc
curities and that each State shall lend
on its own products.
For instance, Georgia's great product
being cotton, it should be as security
or collateral under safe and proper re-
strictions; wheat and corn and bag

ton in one part Of our political body
and paralyzes it in the other parts.
His plan is, in brief, for Congress to
direct its Secretary Of the Treasury to
prepare q sufficient number of legal
tender notes of convenient denomina-
tons, which, added to the existing
currency, will give $50, $40 or $50 per
capita. These notes are to be receiva-
BILE for all debts and dues, except du-
ties on imports. They are to be re-
deemed by the United States Govern
ment on presentation to the Treasury
or at the sub-treasuries established at
convenient cities. The Treasurer shall
hold at least rs per cent. of the issue
in coin, gold and silver, to redeem the
notes, that being enough and as much
as the banks now hold for redemp-
ton purposes. The percentage of coin,
however, can be regulated by experience
He proposes to readjust and measur-
ably equa'ize the circulation of cur.
rancy in this way: Each State on de-
mand shall receive of the legal tender
an amount which, added to its existing
circulation, will make the amount per
capita decided on by Congress. The
banking capital in each State is to be
the standard for ascertaining its circu-
lation unless better can be devised.
To illustrate, Georgia's population in
round numbers is 100000. The
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1891-10-01

ging, being the chief products of Kan
sas and Iowa, they should lend only on
these products. Mr.. Norwood con-
tends that when money can draw to
itself quarter per cent. by going into
manufactures, mining, ETC., it will go
there, and thus all the natural re-
sources OF the State will be developed
and its wealth increased, to the benefit
of every citizen, whereas banking pro
duces no wealth and benefits only the
few who receive the dividends.
Mr.. Norwood took Georgia and
Kansas to illustrate what can be done
under the financial system he pro-
poses. Each State should set aside not
less than 10 per cent Of legal tenders
to protect its own citizens against
financial crises and squeezes.
Georgia could increase her bank
ing capital $10,000,000 and lend
$30,000,000 on long time interest, pay
able semi-annually, to individuals and
corporations who have valuable mines
to be developed, who desire to build
cotton factories, to manufacturers of
woodenware and iron; in short, to
bring into activity and use her natural
resources, which are incalculable, and
which have lain untouched for twenty
five years only because her people
have had no money to work with.
