THE PICKLER PLAN.
JUarune Continues Ills Ar-ruments-Crltl
elsms and Doubts.
Washington, Moy 15. Mr. Macune,
representing the Farmers' Alliance, con
tinued his argument before the Ways
and Means Committee in favor of the
Pickler bill to establish sub-treasuries,
for the receipt of agricultural product
and was questioned by members of tho
committee respecting the details yand
probable effect of the bill
Mr. Bayne wished to know If one ef-
feet would not be to encourage over
production.' Mr. Macune replied that
it would not for just as soon as tho
farmers' calling became more profitable
than others there would be an influx of
men into that business which would re
sult In a reaction and finally the restora
tion of an equilibrium. To his mind no
fixed volume of currency, no matter how
great would meet the needs of agri
culture. It wanted an elastic medium.
The farmer sold his crops in the fall'
when prices were lowest and bought his
supplies before1 harvest when prices
were highest Crops were marketed in
two or three months of the year and
this marketing annually caused a great
stringency in money.
Mr. Flower feared that the plan
would lead to banking on live-stock,
iron, lead and sliver ore. They wero
getting along now in the latter direc
tion at the other end of the Capitol. In
time the people would have every thing
"in hock." In the course of tsn yean
the Government would be nursing the
children and the women working In tho
II eld. The true remedy for the farmer'n
ills was the manufacturer's plan. They
should regulate production, raise only
enough produce to meet the people's
wanti and thereby get lair prices.
Mr. Macune proceeded to explain the
process proposed to regulate the Issue of
produce certificates. He said that the
necessity for excluding imports of agri
cultural products was obvious if the
quality of the certificates was to be
p re served. The certificates would con
stitute the soundest and best currency
in the world. Probably not one-half
of the $.10,000,000 appropriation asked
for to put the new machinery in action
would be required, but the sum should
not be absolutely fixed at a minimum
as in time it would be necessary to ex
tend the system to include all of the
the products of labor not covered by
patents. Mr. Fiower said, in commenting upon
the argument that the farmer would do
well to manage his domestic affairs
without Government interference, the
currency system or ine present was
wrong. The Government had not man
aged it properly and could not do so.
