people of tho United States may con-

of unemployed was never so small a

would have the country adopt the

so much that while it produces enor-
mously its results cannot buy bread.

THE sUB-TREAsURY HUMBUG.

TO the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal
Please outline the sub-treasury scheme
of the Farmers Alliance. d. NJ. b.
Tho Alliance s~ub-treasury scheme, so
called, is a proposition that the United
States establish warehouses in every
county in which tho crop of wheat, corn,
cotton, etc., Oe worth $500, 900. The
government shall construct warehouses
for Its reception, and, on the deposit of
such produce, shall give the producer so
per cent. of its value in certificates,
which shall be full legal tender. The bill
which was presented in Congress appro-
priated S50.000 900 to build such ware
houses. This would practically make
the government the keeper of all the
products of the agricultural States and
responsible to the depositors against
loss. 1t would involve the construction
of vast warehouses, elevators, etc.,
and the employment of an army
of men to run them, who might be able
to exert undue political influence. 1t
would cause the issue of a large volume
of paper money at certain seasons and a
CONTRACTION tlieTeOI Wnen
the holders of the certificates presented
them for the grain. No one could fix
the values of products so that so per
cent. of the value when deposited could
be approximately given. The mass of
certificates would fall into the hands Of
spectators, who could use them to con-
troll the grain and cotton supply. Specu-
latOrs could so manipulate the certifi-
Gates that they could get the entire crop
of all farmers in straitened circum-
stances for less than its value. These
are but a few of the objections to a
scheme which, the more it is i~nvesti-
gated by practical men, the more i'm
practicable it will appear to them. 1t is
said, to their credit, that comparatively
few of the members of the Alliance in
the Northern States favor the scheme,
and it so lacks the support of the order
that the leaders would drop it from the
Alliance creed if they could. 1t has
been popular in the South, but seems
less SO at the present time.

THE demand for the repeal of duties

THE demand for the repeal of duties
ON raw materials is specious but mis-
chievous. 1t is aimed especially at
farmers, for raw materials are about
the only kind of products they produce.
Take wool, for instance, which the
Democracy now propose to put on the
free list. 1t is one Of the farmers fin
ished products, and deserves protection
against foreign competition as much as
the manufacturers product does. The
movement for free wool is n movement
to take money out of the pockets of the
farmers and put it into the pockets of
manufacturers.

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE.
Some Hints for the Amateurs Who May Wish
10 Observe IT,

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ia.-With view to
securing uniformity in the observations to
be made of the partial solar eclipse Thurs
day the Naval Observatory has issued some
instructions. The first contact will occur
on the western limb of the sun, about %
degrees from the north point and the last
contact on the eastern limb, about 1903 de-
grees from the north point, The duration
of the eclipse will be about three hours
The approximate times of beginning and
ending is. at Albany, 1908 to 3.0i f. NJ. :;
at New York City, u 05 to 3.0S 7. VI.
As the greatest magnitude of this eclipse
is only 905 of the suns diameter, the prin-
cipal observations TO be made upon it will
consist in determining the exact times of
the first and last contacts. For that pur-
pose the necessary instruments will be q
telescope provided with colored-shaie
glasses and good watch or thermometer
\ telescope of at least three inches clear
aperture is preferable. but even a small
spyglass may do good service if mounted on
stand. This need not be an elaborate
affair, but may De made of wood, in the
l3mplest manner, provided only that it is
-spable of holding the telescope steadily
pointed in any direction. Some artificial
support is absolutely necessary, and, in de-
fault of anything better, the telescope may
even be dashed to round post.
When the eyepieces of telescope are
not provided with proper sun shades, an ex.
cellent substitute can be made By smoking
a strip of thin fiat glass. about one inch
wide and four inches long, in such way
that its tint may increase uniformly from
very light at one end and to depth at the
other end sufficient for viewing the bright
est sun without inconvenience The
smoked surface should be protected by
covering glass of the same size as the
original strip, and separated from it by bits
of thin card inserted at the ends, the whole
being bound together by narrow strip of
paper pasted around the edges
