Coming Crisis (Colorado) reduces the
national banking problem to enc para
graph, and hits it right:
Have you got "bsnk" note in you
pockct2 Then know that somebody had
to borrow it out of bank at the current
rate of interest-1O or Taper cent. Then
know that your government made this
bastard money especially for the pocr
bankers aud loaned it to them at 1 per
cent per annumf. And yet these bankers
stick up their nose and tell you that the

CUBAN TOBACCO IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
If reports be true there will soon be
even stronger reasons for Cuban cigar
manufacturers to move to thi, country
than the high taxes imposed upon them
by the Spanish government. It is said
that on the Wilcox s. O'Neill phautatien
at Estill, s. c., sixty miles from Savan.
nah, Mr.. w. p. Wilcox has sucees ded
in raising some remarkable fine Havana
tobacco from Urelto A6ajo seeds, which
is one of the best varieties grown in Cuba.
Fifteen acres were planted, but through
insufficient knowledge of the proper
methods of u'tivation and trouble with
these drawbacks, however the result have

experience gained by this trial Mr.. Will
cox thinks he can more than double his
returns next year, and will give about
seventy five acres to it, The leaf has
been examined by experts, who pro
nounce It equal to any tobacco grown in
Cuba.
it may take some years to acquire full
knowledge of the methods most sntisfac-
tory for growing such crop, aud the
variety may change under the new condi
tions of soil and climate, but the expert
ment is we'll worth trying, and even
though later crops should not be of as
high asrade as this first.one, they will
NOR then pay the expense of cultivation.
A careful study of what is needed coup
led wi h the judicious use of su table
fertilizers, should at least aid in prevent
ing any material change in quality or
value of the loaf
