How the Sub-Treasury Would Have
Worked.
Farmers Journal.

TIE cotton crop of the United States is
estimated at about 6,5OO, 900 bales. The
crop, as whole, was forced out Of the
farmers hands upon the market, at a
price not exceeding II cents per pound.
Averaging the weight of each bale at 475
pounds, the whole crop, at that price,
would amount to s223, s44S3, $50. If the
people could have stored their cotton
and could have drawn 50 per cent of its
value, they could have met their obligar
tions, controlled their products and could
have reaped the benefit of the advance in
price. The same crop at % cents land
cotton went that high) would have
amounted to S293, ,312, 800. This would
have left the enormous sum of 69,46S.-
$50 in the pockets OF the -armers with
which to improve their farms, provide
for their families and make farm homes
happy Let us renew the fight for the
sub-treasury Alliancemen, and Alli-
ance papers, do you hear? Load up your
heads with facts and your hearts with a
determination to stand for your rights.
Begin the fight afresh and keep it up
vigorously. An army cannot be kept
inspired without a purpose in view.
Inspiration is tbe essence of purpose;
action is the essence of siiration. Then
let us have purpose and push our fight
up to the last battlements of the opposi-

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 21.-The
United States Supreme Court to-day dis
missed for want of jurisdiction with
directions to the United States Circuit
Court for the District of South Carolina
to do likewise. the suits brought by the
Northeastern Railroad Company and
Central Railroad Company against Wal
ter and Ellis to enjoin these county otfi-
GERS from the collection of the tax i'm
posed on the railroads by the State. The
taxes were State. county and school taxes.
The Tillman Board of Equalization as
sessed railroad property at higher rate
than other property and it is claimed
that this is unconstitutional The ques-
ton at issue has stirred up the railroad
companies of the State and has been a
political issue as well between the two
wings of the South Carolina Democracy.
1t is held that jurisdiction cannot be
made to attach by combining various
forms of tax in number of counties and
thus swelling the total amount involved
to above $1,000. the amount necessary to
take the case into the Federal court.
The merits of the case were not gone
into. The opinion is by Justice Brown.
