bacco growers from fraudulent cornbina-
ton to reduce the price Of tobacco sold
i'm such warehouses" IL leaked out to-
day that at Il meeting Of the Winston
Tobacco Board Of Trade recently there
was a warm debate between warehouse
men and manufacturers over the matter
The former spoke their sentiments in
opposition to Mr.. Watson's Hill, while the
latter expressed themselves in plain Eng
lish in favor OF II. There appears to be
growing sentiment among several tobacco
men here faYOrng the passage Of
law which will prevent the American To-
baccO Company from buying leaf on the
Winston market. Mr. Watson claims the

wished TO reward friend. so much for
the way In which Judge Waite came to
be the Chief Justice. a word now as TO
his performances as such, which affords
a curious illustration OF the usual con-
sequence OF appointing a small man to
great place.
The valuable part OF our constitutional
theory Is that Il expressly confers GER
tain powers upon the general Govern
ment, which has none whatever. except
those conferred upon IT, md that II Tor
bids the State Governments 20 do GER
tain things which they would otherwise
have the power 10 do. Those prohibitions
are against acts that are inconsistent
with the reserved rights OF all citizens
under a free government. They are IN
the line OF the acts which the barons
forced King John by Magma Carta to
agree that he would not perform. In the
course OF the Governments operations
Il became evident that the prohibitions
Of the Constitution on State actions
were not sufficient, so that the Four
teenth amendment TO the Constitution
was adopted, which forbids any State to
deprive any person Of life, liberty or
property, without due process Of lava
very Magma Carta in itself.
After this amendment became part OF
our fundamental law, a Mr.. Mum, OF
Chicago. built a grain elevator In that
city. wholly with his own private means.
Mr.. Waites Granger and Populist friends
came into control Of the Illinois Legisla-
ture. and, as Munn's business was
profitable one to him. they resolved TO
cut of a slice OF II for themselves They
accordingly passed an act which forbade
Mum TO charge more for storing grain
than they thought the grain ought to
pay. Mum said (as was plainly the case)
that this act so interfered with his right
10 use his own property as to amount
practically to an act depriving him or
his property without compensation. lie
took II to the Supreme Court OF the
United States, where Chief Justice Waite
delivered the opinion Of the court, holding
the act to be a valid one and, under the
doctrine announced, the Dispatch has no
constitutional protection whatever for its
property. If the Populists should get pos
session Of the Virginia Legislature and
should pass an act fixing the price at
which 1t shall sell its paper and take
advertising.
He afterwards applied the principles OF
this decision 10 other cases that have
altogether totally deprived private prop
erty Of all legal protection and, in the
course Of his judicial career, proclaimed
himself as thorough-going a "Greenback-
er" as the Dispatch declared itself yester-
day to be. These are some of the reasons
that led The Times to declare that Mr..
Waite's was the very worst appointment
that could have been made.

WHAT SILVER Is THREATENING US

panic and crash that would ensue is some
thing fearful to think of. All business is
beginning to insert a gold clause in all

a letter from heavy importer Of Bra
lillian coffee to one of his selling agencies,
in which he demands that all contracts In
selling his coffee shall be made payable In
gold. His letter contains the following
very sensible remarks:
"For ourselves we have little fear OF
the country really coming TO silver
basis; but at the same time every bag OF
coffee we buy in Brazil we are under OBJ
legations TO pay for in pounds sterling,
and so is every cart and freight buyer.

are obliged to pay In other words, all

What would be the fate Of the country
II all these contracts are called for in gold
after gold has gone to premium, and the
great bulk Of it has been sent out Of the
country? The crash would cover this land
with bankrupt houses and ruined homes
