EFFECT UPON THE TREASURY
MR. cf5S LIE DOESN'T SEEM DISTURBED

Washington, July 19.-The publication of Grandmaster Workman Soverelgn's boycott against national bank notes nat urally attracted q great deal of atten- tion and was generally discussed as to it's effect, if any, upon the condition of the treasury and the circulation of m ney and the payment of obligations.
 Secretary Carlisle said the boycott would not effect the treasury department or it's condition. National bank notes, it was stated, ,being individual is ues, were not a legal tender and could be re- fused if offered by one individual to an- other and declined without the least inl- pairing the validity of the debt. The same is true of gold and silver certifi- cates, neither of which are legal tender, but simply the representative of a gold and silver dollar, which is a legal tender, being individual and between the govern ment and individuals. But either nation- al bank notes or the certificates would be redeemed on presentation at the treas ury with legal tender In the case of a national bank note the bank of issue would put it again in circulation or al- low it to be retired, as it chose
 The treasury officials express the opin- ion that while. a general and ironclad boycott of national bank notes by labor unions would, perhaps. cause temporary embarrassment it could have no perma- nent effect, as, stripped of all technical. surroundings, it was a boycott against the government certificates on a part or portion of its citizens. which was in itself they said an absurdity.
 Whatever objections, it was pointed out, that may exist against the national bank system under the present law could only be remedied by repeal or modification of those laws, and not by a boycott, as an attack on the system such as that instituted by Grandmaster Sovereign resolves itself into an attack on the government itself.

stock assessed, should these mortgages be taxed? if you decide that such mort gages are not taxable, what will the board do if the merchant gives in his stock at $l000 and his mortgages show he has advanced SCOOP
 Stocks of goods, wares and merchan disc and mortgages or solvent credits are separate taxable items under our tax laws. and the value at which one is as- sessed should not be an absolute guide to fixing the value of the other. The pres ent assessment is governed by the values a s they existed on the 1st of January last. Future assessments will be gov erned by values as they are shown to ex- ist on the 1st of October of each year. See sections 2fs and 22, page S. revenue code. In fixing tax values each of these items should stand on it's own bottom, and a value fixed by the assessing power on n basis of what either will bring at cash sale sold in the ordinary manner that such property is sold; n0l at forcc1 sale, however.
 If a merchant gives in his stock at 5000 and afterwards takes mortgage to the extent of 5000, and each is worth it's face or par value at the time the list is rendered, he is subject to tax on valu- ation of 5000. As January of the pres ent year and October in the future are the dates by which values are fixed on both items for taxing purposes, I can see no possibility of the influence of one over the other in fixing tax values. With much respect

SUICIDE OF STOCKS.
He Were the Stripes for the Murder of a
 Friend.


 Atlanta, July 19.---A special to the Con- stitution from Mineola, Ga, says that Porter Stocks shot himself tonight Stocks was convict in the penitentiary and was leased to lumber company which has a saw mill at Mineola, few miles from Naldosta.

 Stocks was sent to the penitentiary from Atlanta for manslaughter. He was a prominent young man here. Four years ago he killed Ali Cassin, his lose friend. His defense was that Cassin had threatened to kill him. A petition was to be presented to the governor in few days for Stocks pardon. His father, who lives here and was once wealthy, says that he cannot imagine his son's motive for sui eide. He had a letter from the son yes terday, in which Porter seemed to be cheerful and hopeful for pardon.

The Contest Between Power and Johnson Over

 Jackson, Miss, July 19.-Hinds county holds primary Saturday, July 20, to elect delegates to a county convention to assemble August l, to select delegates to the state convention August ', also to eX- press choice for United States senator and to settle the contest for county offices not filled at first primary, held two weeks since.
 The War is over the selection of dele gates to the county convention, Hinds county having several candidates for state offices, but is narrowed down to a fight between Captain Johnson, candi- date for attorney general, and Colonel Power, candidate for secretary of state. It has been long time since lIinds coun- ty was involved in such a tremendous struggle as is now on between the friends of these two gentlemen. All other aspi- rants have been lost sight of. The can didates for United States senator are not thought of and the aspirants for county honors have been lost in the shuffie Johnson is the present incumbent of the attorney generals office, while Power is one of the proprietors of the Clarion Ledger

Dun's Report.

New York July 19.-R. G. Dun & Go. in their weekly review of trade tomorrow, will say:
 The weeks news is not entirely encourc aging, but is all the more natural because there are signs of midsummer dullness. Wheat prospects are not so good as last week but still there are lower prices, as corn and cotton have been lowered. The exports of gold and the less favorable treasury returns for July are not uneX- pected and mean nothing as to coming business. There is perceptible decrease in the demand for most manufactured prospects and the actual distribution to consumers naturally lessens in midsum- mer.
 There are still numerous advances in wages, but strikes grow more numerous and important.
 Money is still abundant, and while there is. much more activity in conmer- cial loans, it is not what would appear if all industries were fully prepared The volume of exchange continues heartily as large as in 1892, because of the delay in spring operations, and though rapidly shrinking to summer proportions, is 27 per cent larger than last year.
 The future turns on crops and the mar ket reflects a prevailing belief that the crops are to be fair Stocks carried over are such that>a yield of 1000, 900 bales Of cotton and 420 900, GOO bushels of wheat would meet all needs, but lower prices prophecy larger yields, and of corn prob ably the largest on record.
 W estern receipts of wheat, not half of last years, express disappointment at prices, while exports for the week, about a quarter of last years S, show that for eign dealers are regarding the situation with anxiety. Nor do British accounts indicate any anxiety about cotton, while efforts are reported by some American mills to sell part of the large stocks tl,C ann U aNs- ceeding their needs for the year. If un- favorable to some spectators, these are cheering indications for it is better to have fair crops than to get higher prices for what remains
 Orders have so accumulated in iron products that some works forego the usual summer rest, and eastern furnaces soon to begin blast will add about 5000 tons weekly to the production Yet the week has beer in new business the dull est since the rise in prices began, as many hesitate to buy after so great an advance. few quoters have advanced gray forge and eastern bar, while Bes- semer pig is a shade weaker at Pitts burg The average of all prices is per cent higher for the week and 2S.3 per cent higher than February l.
 Cotton mills continue to enjoy a large business, and several have advanced wages this week, but some strikes Of considerable importance are threatened or in progress. The weakness Of the material does not yet affect prices of goods. New business in boots and shoes is limited.
 Foreign trade continues unfavorable, with a decrease of 10 per cent in exports this month and increase of 23 per cent in imports.
 Failures in eleven days of July show liabilities of s, 503.9 9S2 this year, against S2 63O, ,306 last year. Failures for the week have been 256 in the United States, against 236 last year; and 39 in Canada, against A last year.

larly set forth in song, and it's claim was backed by all New England
 One of the most striking features was when northern California was called. The response came in boyish treble from MT. George M. Purnell of Sacramento. He did not look to be over b years of age. He wore glasses and his voice was shrlll and penetrating. He said: 'I came 5000 miles to greet you in the name of 2f00 young people of northern Califor- mia. Eureka is our motto"
 He continued to speak the full minute and over. At the conclusion of his speech there was great demonstration and the performance was considered so remark able that delegates called for it's repet ton on the speakers stand. The youth ful orator was escorted to the stand. where chair was set out, on which he mounted. He repeated his speech. and al the conclusion led the Colorado delegates in the yell about Denver being one mile nearer heaven than Brooklyn. The ap- plause was tremendous and handker- chiefs waved all over the tent.
 The climax of patriotism was reached when the District of Columbia was call ed. The banner of the delegation, 3 silk flag of the stars and stripes. was waved by Miss Cory. while the Rev. MT. Thomas of Georgetown delivered patri- otic address Then the tent audience arose and sang 1.-The Star Spangled Ban ner."
 The short reports and campaign songs were finally finished and the convention took recess.
 The afternoon was devoted to twelve workers conferences in the various Bap- list churches on the general topic: Young Peoples Society as a Working Force" These conferences began al 2:So o'clock. Addresses were made in each church by prominent speakers from Vari- ous parts of the country.

Columbus, Miss, July 19.-(Special.)- Nothing of interest occurred at Camp Stone today The boys have gotten down >to--Wprk and are enduring the hardships and performing the duties Of camp like regulars.

PEARCE RETURNS
Just in Time to Save Ills Bond-tle Pleads
 Guilty.


 Mobile. July 19.-George A. Pearce re- turned here today from his home in Abe line, Tex, and pleaded guilty to all in- dictment charging him with the embez- element of $90,000 eight years ago from the Planters and Merchants Insurance company of Mobile, of which he was secretary at that time. A second in- dictment, charging him with the embez- element of SIS, ,000 from the same concern, was not pressed. He will be sentenced tomorrow. Pearce arrived here just in time to save the forfeiture of the bond of $5000, as the case had been postponed from time to time. The court had an- nounced that if he did not arrive on time the bond would be collected. The case is of general interest by reason of the persistent fight Pearce and his friends made against being extradited from Texas, the proceedings finally reaching the United States supreme court and there going against him. His conviction is largely due to the perseverance of Sheriff Dorian of Montgomery county.

New York, July 19.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 All the previously reported favorable industrial and commercial features are continued this week, the assurance of revival in the demand for iron and steel the further advances in prices of the same and additional increase of wages of industrial employees being the most significant.
 Notwithstanding the season of mid summer quiet in some lines, in general trade the volume of general business throughout the country is largely in eX- cess of that one year ago Bank clear ings totals recede little from last weeks extraordinary large aggregate, the amount being Sl.029 0000o0 this week. a falling off of 10 per cent from last week. but an increase of 9 per cent over the to- tai in the like week of 1894

 Reports from southern cities show fur ther improvement, gains this week be- ing more marked than in like period for months before. Country merchants in South Carolina are much encouraged with the crop outlook, as the demand is fair and prices tend upward.
