A SUBSTITUTE TO RELIEVE THE
TREASURY.

All the currency bills have dwindled in
to comparative unimpOrtance except the
section of Carlisle's bill that provided
for the deposit Of greenbacks and legal
tenders to relieve the pressure for gold
on the treasury, which is in constant
state of siege, with the banks practically
in n state of suspension as far as gold pay
ments are concerned and distrust in
business still existing on account of this
condition of affairs.
Congressman Sperry of Connecticut has
introduced n substitute for Springer's
bill that he thinks will at least relieve the
present distress permanently. taking Tor
granted that there is no other serious
trouble with the finances of the country
except that which grows out of the issue
of legal tender demand notes payable in
gold at the treasury, and that this $780,
900, 900 hangs like milestone about the
neck of the treasury, the substitute oil
Mr.. Sperry authorizes the issue of $5OO,-
100000 in % year low interest bonds
with which to relieve these legal tenders.
This would undoubtedly restore healthy
conditions all around. Gold and silver
would take their place in circulation, and
il the bonds were Of small denominations
they would be taken by the people of this
country as so long advocated by the New
York Herald. The fact is, currency
bill establishing n permanent banking
system meeting all the requirements of
security to note holders and depositers,
and having the quality of expansion and
as the exigency of the times
demand may be perfected at leisure if
the necessity for immediate relief to the
treasury did not exist. Mr.. Sperry's bill
would do this, and give congress more
time to perfect the best methods for a
currency system for the country.
The government is solvent, but if an
attempt was made as suggested by MIR.
Edward Atkinson of all the holders of
United States legal tenders to force the
payment of them in gold, the government
would, like solvent bank with n heavy
'un on it, have to suspend payment, and
hey would get nothing. If, according
o Mr.. Sperry's bill, bonds of a small de-
nomination were issued for the absorp
ion of legal tenders, not only would this
be relieved but the banks |
would have government bonds to do bust
less on.

The Atlanta Journal has an article
filled with rot about fool governors, emu
merating Pennoyer of Oregon, Waite of
Colorado and lIogg of Texas. The latter,
it seems is classcd with the others on ac-
count of his requisiton on New York for
Rockefeller and the Standard Oil violators
of Texas law. When Hoke Smiths sub
stitute writes down Governor Hogg as
fool, he publishes himself as illustrative
of Grass ignorance. A good many hard
things have been said against Governor
lIogg, but his bitterest enemy would not
risk the assertion that he was a fool or
held the most distant kinship with a fool,
because the man who would make such an
allegation would be considered as being
compelled to take either one or the other
horns of the dilemma of first-class pre-
varicator or fool alb initio. The man
who takes Governor Hogg for fool will
get up the next day and find himself way
behind the procession. Governor Hogg
knew what he was about when he issued
the requisition papers for the Standard
Oil magnates. He knew that the yiolator
of Texas law was a constructive fugi.
tive from justice and amenable to the

A dispatch from Fort Worth is pub
lished in the Houston Age in which it is
stated that resolution will be introduced
in the coming session of the legislature,
which was framed ut Fort Worth, re-
questing Roger Q. Mills to resign his
seat in the senate for the alleged reason
that he has refused to prostitute his high
office in grabbing for the spoils and dis
tributing them to Texas office seekers,
and the additional charge that he has
taken no interest in having a national
bankrupt law passed. We have no doubt
the dispatch is canard. We would not
insult the legislature of Texas by giving
credence TO the report that there was in
that body man who was fool enough 10
introduce such n resolution, even by re-
quest, based upon such ilimsy and evil
IDENTIFY selfish motives.

LEGISLATIVE HARMONY.

We trust the members of the Texas
legislature will avoid sailing on the course
in which the congress of the United
States ran on snag. The legislature of
Texas, like the congress of the United
States, confronts a deficiency. Congress,
it is true, has the additional duty of pro-
viding for a plan of banking or suit
able currency to meet the needs of the
country, and has failed or is about to
fail for the want of harmony in the Demo-
cratic majority. We hope the members
of the legislature will take warning of
the want of harmony of the Democrats in
congress and not in an effort to provide
for the deficiency have the misfortune to
run upon the same snag.
1t seems that theories differ. 1t is an
easy matter to ascertain whose theory
would enlist a clear majority, and then
Gratis to support it. If the thing is let
loose in the house, there are so many
unframed hunters in that body that will
open up the yclp on it that the debate
would be interminable and likely to into
duce elements of discOrd, whereas if the
matter was thoroughly canvassed, agreed
upon and quietly introduced it would be
amicably settled in n short time. Other
wise, half the session may be used in air
ing the eloqucnce of members on the
subject and like in congress, nothing be
accomplished.

Mr.. C. b. Farwell says: "Let the gov
eminent fund it's floating debt and re
fund its bonded debt in 2 per cent so
year bonds and retire from the currency
business altogether, allowing the national
banks to use these bonds at par as n
basis for their circulation. Repeal the
subtreasury act and let the revenues OF
the nation be deposited in national banks
when collected" Mr.. Farwell's plan has
the merit Of brevity anyhow, and perhaps
contains the germ of the best financial
policy Of the country.

COTTON FACTORIES IN THE
SOUTH.
The Philadelphia Record says:

The Philadelphia Record says:
The development of the cotton manu-
featuring industry in the Southern states
continues to 90 forward with healthy
stride. Six new cotton mills of large
capacity are projected. In the 10 years,
from 1880 to 1890, the capital invested
in cotton spinning in the Southern states
increased from sd 100000 to $97 ,000,0 900.
Within few months the investment will
have increased to $1O6,0OO,000. There
are certain climatic or atmospheric CON
ditions which experts assert are unfavOr-
able To the manufacture of the very finest
quality of cotton goods in Southern lat
itudes, but for making coarser cotton the
Southern mills will have advantages which
sooner or later must lead to practical mo-
nopoly. Immediate access to the raw ma
terial, cheap water power, cheap labor and
cheap living are inducements which read
lily account for the extraordinary prosper
ity of Southern cotton spinners.
Austin offers all the necessary facili-
ties for the establishment of cotton fac
tories. Immediate access to the raw ma
terial, cheap water power, cheap labor and
cheap living" and if it is true that the
South will monopolizc sooner or later the
manufacture Of cotton who can estimate
the growth of this city? The greatest en-
thusiast on behalf of Austin would fall
far short of conceiving the extent of the
prosperity and development in popula-
ton and wealth Of Austin.

Judge Terrell "What the United States
government paid him for but to give pass
ports to its citizens" the minister order
ed him out of his Office, but he also says
he obtained a Russian passport at Ba-
toum. That accounts for the milk in the
cocoanut Mr.. Radigain was not an Amer
lean citizen. He must have sworn that
he was Russian or he could not have
obtained a Russian passport. Mr.. Radi-
gain told a little too much, and for that
reason the state department at Washing
ton is not worrying over his charges
against Minister Terrell.

If the government did not have to keep

The Inauguration of governors and
the converting of legislative assem-
blies are the marked features of the
first weeks in the new year. The country
solons are crowding into the state CAPT
tails to carry to the ear of the governing
power the wants and demands of the
people, Fresh from the thought of the
masses of the people they are coming to-
gether to prune, shape and fashion this
thought into laws. There is one thing
they ought to remember and that is
the fewer and the palmer the laws the
better are they enforced and obeyed and
the better and the happier are the people.
A great multiplicity of laws are curses
that come back to roost in the homes of
the people.

The bankers of Wall street, New
York, are making war on Secretary Car
Isle. What becomes of the charge made
in the near erstwhie of Wall street, New
York, and Lombard street, London, con
trolling Mr.. Cleveland's administration ?
The Republican speakers and newspa-
pcrs have rung the zap, zap, zap changes
on this charge so repeatedly that some
of the farmers who went over to the Peo-
pies Party really believe it. "Obedient
minons of the bankers" indeed! If Re
publican mendacity could possibly blush,
it would blush for the preparation of
this colossal lie, but blushing is n lost
art with the Republicans. The Pops
might get up blush for their part in

1t is to be hoped that the members of
the legislature may all get deep down in
their minds the fact that Mr.. Nc
Call emphasized in his report
that cash balance does not
mean a surplus, but that it does mean a
healthy condition of the treasury to meet
on demand all claims against the state
and not keep the public school teachers
waiting year or more for their monthly
wages. 1t is distinction that ought to
be sort of primary idea to all law
makers.
