"(5) tits classlegislation. Why
should the farmer engaged in the
production of wheat, corn, oats and
tobacco have the exclusive right to
deposit his crops in a warehouse,
built and maintained at the public
expense, and to borrow from the
Government at | per cent. inter
est, so per cent. of their value?
Why should the farmer engaged in
raising stock, or in the production
Of hay, potatoes, rye, barley, hemp,
eggs, butter, wool, fruit, or vegeta-
bles not have an equal right to
borrow money at per cent? Why
should the mechanic engaged in
making furniture, wagons, plows,
shoes, harness, brick, or implements
of wood or iron be deprived of the
privilege Of borrowing money at
per cent. on the product Of his la
Dor?
81 apprehend that these are
questions that will perplex any in
telligent friend of the measure who
will calmly take the time to think
over the matter.
49, The measure will necessa-
rily involve an annual initiation and
contraction of the currency. When
the crops at the end of the season
are stored in the Government ware
houses the Treasury will issue so
per cent. of their value to the class
of farmers producing the favored
crops. This would annually food
the country with hundreds Of mil
/. lions of Treasury notes, all of which
in a few months must be returned
to the Treasury when the crops are
sold. This seems to me, from
financial point of view, the most
visionary scheme in our history.
That it would bring about want of
confidence in all commercial pur-
: suits and entail endless confusion
and disaster is, to my mind, evil
dent. Confidence is everything to
civilized society. If the commerce
of the world depended on the act

we would find that the business Of

census estimate includes all farm
productions, whether sold, con-
sumed, or on hand, while the bill
provides that a sub-treasury shall
be established only in the event
the amount of cotton, wheat, corn,
oats, and tobacco sold exceeds
100000. The amount consumed
or the amount retained by the farm
er for consumption is not included
in the estimate required by the
bill, Now, | will venture the as
sertion, and refer to the statistics
for the verifcation, that there is
not one county in all East Tennes-
see that would be entitled to a sub
treasury under the proposed act.
Giles County produced $3.50 bales
Of cotton and Rutherford 12,4l4,
while Montgomery produced about
100000 pounds of tobacco. This
would barely entitle each of them to
a sub-treasury, [ will, however,
further venture the assertion that
there is not another county in all
that magnificent basin of Middle
Tennessee that would be entitled to
a Government warehouse. Not a
county in the State produced $780,
600 bushels of oats, and but one
county produced over 3O0,OO bush
els of wheat, and that was William
son, which produced 315,000 The
farmers of Middle Tennessee are
more largely engaged in stock-rais-
ing and the production of corn,
clover, and hay, which is consumed
at home. They realize from the
sale of stock and not from the sale
Of crops, and this accounts for their
prosperity.
"There are few counties in West
Tennessee where the annual cotton
crop sold exceeds 100000, to-wit
Fayette, Gibson, Hardeman, Hay.

and Madison. These counties, un.
der the bill, would each be entitled

do they need such an institution

the majority of cases it would b
impracticable to store it in sub

to do so. | therefore conclude tina
the farmers of Tennessee woul,
take no material benefit under tn
bill, and from their standpoint
and without reference to othe
weighty considerations, l woul,
oppose enacting it into law.
