I SUPPLEMENT, j
SOME OBJECTIONS TO THE SUB
K TREASURY ANSWERED.
I BY J. M. WHITEHEAD.
(.National Economist.)
The sudden advent of the sub-treas-;
tirv upon Congress had about the effect
of the unexpected descent of a hawk j
in the barn-yard?great commotion;
and no little flutter. The statesmen
have not been so thoroughly shaken up
since the war. The National Bank
a* Act was a pigmy by the side of it.
Nobody then stood up to declare that
law unconstitutional, or rushed into
the House or the Senate to make a
speech against it, even before it had
been reported by the committee! This
Kflm is singular!
HP Not so with the sub-treasury bill,
^ r Xo sooner was it proposed?intro
Wr dueed?that straightway" meml>ers of
Congress were interviewed by the ever
irrepressible newspaper correspondent,
who stands ready at all times to assist
t the statesman in placing his "'views'*
r before tl?e public! Others rushed
home to i?ok after their fences, and
counteract, if possible, the rapidly
growing public sentiment in favor of
t measure, supported by some, if enacted,
to give relief to the depressed
condition of their agricultural consti

Congress and delivered (?) elaboratelyprepared
speeches against the subtreasimy
plan, filled with statistical
tables gotten up, as one of them ingeniously
admits, by employed "experts!"
These speeches are forthwith
printed in pamphlet form, and
scattered broadcast, like "bread on
the waters/-' to be gathered presumably,
at the next election! They are
as thick throughout the country disNvimtrv
stnrps and nost
offices, as are the autumn leaves after
the November frost!
1 propose answering briefly some of
the objections urged by these aroused
statesmen against the sub-treasury hill.
Mr. Culberson, of Texas, in discussing
the constitutional feature, sees?or
thinks he sees?a very great difference
between the national* banking system
and the sub-treasury plan. The former,
he says, is constitutional, "because
it is one of the instruments to be
used to aid the Government in the administration
of an important branch
of the public service," and the Supreme
Court has so decided, not because the
court undertook to say that it was in
fact an ''Instrument" thus to aid the
Government: but that Congress had
said so by enacting the law, and of
this "Congress was the sole judge of
the necessity of employing such instruments
in the aid of the administration
of the public service!" This is the
language of the court, and is precisely
the position taken by this writer in a
former article in the Economist
m tne c Hisniuuonaiuy ox me suutreasury.
I said that Congress was
the sole judge as to whether the subtreasury
was for or against th<? general
welfare.
Tl>e theory on whieh the national
- to be aids to t he Govern
ment is because they create a demand
for Government bonds. Now, if the
l>onds could be sold as well without as
with the aid of the banks, then the
banks would be of no assistance. We
know that the bonds of all solvent
corporations are in demand, and
eagerly sought after. The United
States'Government is the most solvent
of all institutions on this continent.
But Congress has said that the banks
were a "necessity, and the court say
they arepthe sole judge. But a subsequ^it
Congress could say that they
are not a necessity and refuse to extend
the charter, and this is what it
ought to do! Now, I want to put this
question at these constitntion.il Congressmen:
If Congress is the sole
judge of the necessity of the national
banks, then why should not Congress
be the sole judge ot the necessity of
the sub-treasury, h- an instrument to
?ko fi?vow...,iint ! t? nrnmftfini/ thA
OIU IIJ^ HUM v III |/I V.?VV...5 t..w
"jreneral welfare" for .vhich it is authorized
to collect taxe> by the express
terms of the Constitution? I would
like to see some of Jhem crack this nut
without winking or or making
a wry fajje! Mr. Culberson believes
that, the Government alone
should control the volume of currency,
and he is opposed to the national
hanko. and vet he defends them on the
ground that they aid the Government
in an important branch of the public
service! Strange inconsistency! If
the Government can do better without
the bank* than with them, how, 1
ask, can they aid the Government in
any service whatever?
Another Congressman opposes the
bill, because it would be putting our
property "at the mercy of the Federal
Government," and right upon the heels
of this proceeds to argue that the Government
nill suffer great loss under
the plan! Great Scott, what logic!

tbe fluctuation in prices ihat ttieir
fables show have heretofore occurred.
The crops whet! haivested can only be
moved by something circulating as a
representative of value. At present
tbe banks furnish this in quantities to
suit themselves and on their own terms.
The farmer's harvest is also the banker's
harvest. Interest is high because
money is scarce; scarcity of money
makes u nign, aiiu wucu uiouvy is
high everything' else is cheap. Thns
the farmer most sell at a time when
this condition of things is at its worst.
When the crop is oft'the stingency subsides,
money goes dowD, and other
commodities correspondingly up.
Then the farmer spends :ili of his
money in the purchase of what he must
have! Pass the sub treasury bill, and
the banks will no longer be master of
the situation. The farmer will take j
his produce to the warehouse, if he I
mast have money, and then ^et 80 per I
cent With this his immediate wants
wiH be supplied. The demand for
c*sh money will not be so great; conwqueutlv,
it will be on the market at
- irvfavopf XfAiiftv* will i h I
be cheap. The factories must have j
cotton, the workfmust have grain, and ;
the fanner will be able to realize rea- j
sonnble com pen sal ion for his produce. I
Gradually it will be moved and con- j
samed to meet the demand for it. As j
it is withdrawn the SO per cent, will be j
returned to the Government, leaving !
the country, not as some contend, !
without money, but with all the money j
we ?>w have, and the holders of it
easrer to lend at a low rate of interest.
One ol the Congressmen raises the }
ott repeated cry of over production, j
He fears that one abundant harvest
upon another will be piled up in these I
warehouses, and thereby the Govern- j
raent suffer fearful loss. In the very i
district represented by thai Congress- |
man there are thousands of people who I
cannot afford to put Hour bread on j
men* iao;e more man uiicu u new, am?
many not once a week. If money i
were more plenty, and they could get j
better prices for their cotton, they j
could afford to buy Hour, and help j
consume the surplus. This is but one !
instance; it might bo extended all j
the rest. But suppose the Govern- j
ment did sell off. now and then, a little i
cheap corn and oats and Hour and to- j
bacco, wouldn't it be a God-send to t'.e i
poor, even if the government should :

God Congressmen were always as
careful about spending the public
I inonev! But one says the speculators
: would come in and buy it all. If so,
i they would pay full value (which they
I never do,) at;d" where would be the
i los>? But. it is said, it would be put
i up in large lots so that the poor could
not buy. That is exactly what the |
. Alliance would keep them from doiujr. i
, The Alliance, with money in bank and
j in pocket, would buy U for their own
I needy members! (.'ongre-smcn need

The experiment of the oul State bank
ot Alabama is referred to as an actual
experiment. It advanced money on
cotton to be made. Political favorites
came in, got the money and ruined the
bank; and who wonders! Lending
mone\ to politicians on cotton to be
made is put forward as an example by
which to test the sub-treasury! If it
had been exactly identical in substance

would illustrate nothing, lor the simple
reason that no one State can manage
a "bu-tiuesr, thai of necessity, covers
the whole Union. But this is a
sample of the argument indulged in by
these (> ?-ealud) fat tnciV friend:-!
Mr. Unbelt. of Alabann, scintillates
this hi illiant >pe?i.nen ol linatn i:tl
wis lout-or piradox rather, as i!
ceriainlv " There can he no greater
j t?It*ssi?nf than a sounl .-table cum licv.

i tiom li is convinced m?\ h ?\viver, tint
the vcliime ut' cu- reney, oujiht, l>v
soine means, mul within reasonable
b.uunU, t!> be made more flexible than
it is." Now, if there can bs no greater
blessing than a S'able currency, 1
would tie glad if some wiVe statesman
would inform ihe world how it is that
it ought, to be flexible! Some of our
j Congressmen who were so teriib'v
I exercised at the prospect of a surplus
j of irain on the hands of the govern|
ment under the sub-treasury, would
i do well to study the story of Joseph,
j as related in the Dible. If Egypt could
I furnish storage for the surplus for
seven year.?, tlie United States ought
to be able t-> take care of one! But
there never has been a surplus in this
country; tor all that oiu* own people
are unable to buy or consume foreign
nations stanil ready to take at our
price.
These Congressmen pester themselves
very much btciusc the haymakers
and pork packers arc not included.
It is rather remarkable that '.tic representatives
of a constituency who raise
cotton and corn and oa!?, and who do
not raise hay and pork, bcu buy both
of jheseeeHHtHwiii^-^hcmld be kicking
because these are lift out of the bill,
when lhi} representatives of the interests
arc saying nothing! The cry is
that the system will tlood the country
? ? ? ? ~ ouil in thn com;*
WIWI IUI) IIIKUil UIUIILI , U.IU1U >>.v
breath complain that the system f"*ils
to provide for more than it does! The
products provided for by the bill are
the leading articles of agriculture in
every section of the country, and
almost every farmer. Prudence and
caution dietate that the experiment
should at lirst be made on a limited
scale, and as the system oe^ius i->
work aud ihe machinery revolves
with something like order additions
may be made as the necessities of the
case demand.
It has been attempted to arouse prejudice
against the measure in the
Southern States by contending that the
warehouses would be managed by
appointees of the Republican" party,
and in some instances by negroes.
The fact is. the bill provides for" their
election by the people of the countv.
Bat if they can be appointed, mo .sumo
argument could be made with greater
force against post offices, for where
there would be one warehouse there
are liftv post offiees, and we all know
with what precision the post office
business of the United States is carried
on. The agent would have to
give a good and solvent bond, and
nine cases out of ten this would insure
an acceptable man.
If ?nr1 mirier this svsiein. "If
prices were' up what is to prevent
farmers from rushing their produce
upon the market?" Well, who wants
to prevent them. T would like to know,
unless it be the "banker and and his
allies. If he rushes in and gets a good
price.. I suppose he will be glad tluit
somebody didn't stop him. If he gets
in too late and prices have tumbled, he
can stop himself, and with 80 per cent
of its value in his pocket, he will be
in a condition to stop until his produce
should take another rise. With
tlip lweint in his Docket and the nro

could sell at his pleasure, and select
the time and place. It is said the poor
man would not be able to pay back
80 percent, and as a consequence would
have to make a sacrifice. Xot so. He
would already have SO per cent, and
could sell the receipt for as much more
as he could get, and the transferee
would simply have to refund the *o
per cent to get. the deposit. Jt is so
j simple that it does seem that everyI
body (except, perhaps, a member of
I Congress) can understand it.
I Tlmvo one. noint with reirard to I
this sub-treasury law. that is the
danger of involving the Government
j or the warehouse agent in vexatious
j litigation over produce stored on which
I third parties have a claim. It can be
done, and should be carefully done.
The enactment of the law would be a
great incentive to farmers not to mortgage
their crops, in order that they in
common with their neighbors might j
reap the benefit of the act.
Let the friends of this measure lock {
their shields with the great mass of
American farmers, and march upon
Congress with a column as invincible!
as the lioniun phalanx, and the victory j
will be theirs and prosperity dawii [
ujK>n the country >o gloriously (lint !
o?r children will rise up in rears to
come and will us blessed, for it will bo j
one of the most remarkable epochs in
the history of the world's progress.!
and all due to the intelligence of the '
agricultural classes, "who had the *
sense to rise above every other consideration
and strike the shaekels from |
their hands.

AND THEIR "
Material Farts.
SHODDY SHOES
VS.
LEATHER SHOES.
rpHAT shoddy, worthless shoes are last
1 supplanting solid leather shoes is befouling
a noted fact, in the shoe business
in our section of the country. It is well
known to us that other sections demand
better shoos than our Southland. Why is
this ? Again ws ask, why is it our people
ivill limp n.ml nrrqjn necent these suoddv.
worthless shoes, filled with paper, wood
and leather board instead of demanding
jail leather shoes? Is it because of an
j idea of economy ? We think it cannot be
based upon that idea. Who, knowingly,
: would buy ground pepper with a mixture
J of a. trashy, worthless substance with an
! economical idea ? Who would buy musi
laid mixed with cotton seed meal, that
j would not raise a blister, because at a low
j figure? Who would buy candy with a
I mixture of glucose because of its cheapI
ncss? Who would buy tlour with a mix!
tu iv of kaolinii because at a less price?
Wi'h the same reasoning, wlio, knowingj
Ijv would buy a shoddy shoe with the idea
i of cheapness? The adage, "The best is
the cliraj eaj," especially applies to shoes.
We do not meau best here to include the
lhghe>t price fine slices, but we mean an
hom-sr, well-uiade, all-leather shoe at an
addition of only fifteen or twenty cents
per pair, against a shoe of same appearance,
but made to deceive. We conclude
the greater part of the respons bility must
I rest on the retailer in not informing his
eustomeis how his shoes are made. Many
manufacturers are making a specialty of
pioducinc a line of shoddy, worthless
roods especially for this tradr, and so dextrously
is the leather and foreign sub
sianets mmnpuiiioeu u:e prraentc m mc
shoddy cannot be known- except to the
manipulator or builder of thu shoes. As
buyers, we scquire each manufacturer to
say through their agent how each kind of
shoes is made, we are then in possession of
facts to convey to our customers.
'1 lie lack of this information, as tr> the
component parts of shoes, is no doubt the
reason why so many customeis become the
possessors "of shoes which otherwise they
would not buy at any price. There is no
line oi' merchandise which furnishes more
abundant opportunities for deception than
does the shoe trade. The complexity of
the business, and the variety in the amount
<111(1 Klim Ul museum uw umixt up
the pioduct, afford opportunities lor adulteration
by the use of shoddy materials in
such a manner that the.eye of the customer,
and in many instances the eye of
the merchant, is captured by the looks of
a shoe rather than the worth of its material
parts. A shoddy shoe filled with
paste-board, leather-board -and wood can
be made so alike an honest, solid, all j
leather shoe that th^ nnpractice.l eye cannot
discover the difference. Where then
is the safeguard for the consuncerV Buy
your shoes from dealers of known reputation
of handling nothing but good, wellmade
shoes. To know his shoes and sell
them for what they are is the duty of the
dealer. Nut to expect mountain, for mole
hills is the duty of the buyer.
We are now buying-our" fall and wiat.-r
stock of Shoes of all kinds with our usual
caie, and by daily study are endeavoring
to place oursalves in position to protect
our customers better titan ever in style,
quality and prices. Our intention is to
continue to handle Solid Leather Shoe*.

will have s:mie jobs we wish to close out.
