ment of all legal claims relative thereto.
"a. II the owner Of the grain wishes
wsrehoused at the place of its destination
he must declare such intention in advance
tGnd an Endorsement to that effect must b,
made on the railway note and it's duplicate
provided, howeverJif the warehouses at tn
place of destination are full, such reQues
can not be granted.
25. Cleaning, re-shoveling, and screeninl
Of grain stored in warehouses must only b,
done under the supervision of the railway
company. Before taking measures to pre-
vent the warehoused grain from being dam
aged the railway company must inform tn,
owner or his representative of the necessity
of such action.
26. Should the railway company be com
PEELED to sell the hypotheOated grain fo
reasons mentioned in paragraph 10, the or
der for the sale may be revoked if the ad
vance, or reasonable part CT il, be repaiC
seven days after the receipt of the notice o
the intended sale.
In addition to the general rules governing
this question, as enumerated above, hsv
learned that no distinction is made between
farmers and so-called middlemen. TIL
loans are made only on the grain, and it i
of no consequence who delivers it and nego
tiates the loan. all such loans are made il
paper rubles, the regular and only real cur
renCy of this empire, and these paper ruble
are taken from the regular governmental
issues.
This scheme went into effect on June IA
16, 1888, and at the present day it is gener
ally adopted throughout the country, anC
business is carried on under it on very
large scale. l should also add that thl
scheme gives great satisfaction to the farm
ers, many of whom declare that it has be,
come an essential feature of successful
farming in Russia.
The Russian oopeck is a copper coin val
ued at three-fourths of cent; a pood is
equivalent to thirty-six pounds avoirdu-

The following remarks upon the fore
going will appear in this weeks issue Of
the Economist:
The above is report by Consul General
Crawford, from st. Petersburg. This is
conclusive evidence of the practicability of
the Sub-treasury plan as demanded by the
Alliance. It also disoloses the substantial
benefits that would result in its adoption.
What has been an experiment in Russia,
might, if properly applied in this enlight-
ened country, prove a reality of inestimable
value to all the people. Strange as it may
appear, it is far easier to introduce innova-
lions under present conditions in public
that will benefit the people in Rus
Iian than America. The reason Is obvious.
In Russia the will Of the Gear is supreme; it
5 neither owned nor controlled by monied
Iristocracy. If he is convinced that an ex-
is worthy, trial is made at once
without furthor consideration. In America
vi legislation and its construction is under
he control Of the plutocracy of the nation,
whose interests are antagonistic TO the pros
'erity or improved condition among the
'eOple. The writings Of great and good
nen in the past are replete with the asser-
ion that plutocratic government Ia gov
rnmen controlled by wealthy is more op-
'ressive and more TO be dreaded than any
'ther. The various attacks that have been
made upon the Alliance and its demands
rom this class of people seem to justify
hese statements.
Now that the plan has been partially tried
md proven beneficial to Russian farmers,
