BBf '* [f TteFaiffield Jiews aodHeraldJ 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 ?a^a fliAin nlonoc in lUCIlC). Ullicia lusc id uicu 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! Wa . Lim iKot tlin I. ill u-nnl<l nrovpnt ft t Viailil IllUb IliV "*M ?* VM*%? VVVMV 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 : * > <?.*? .1/1 ... ! lose a lew uowars oy u. ?? uuiu <- -> 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 j not trouble themselves over this. J The good that the Alliance could do ; alonif this line would so far eclipse the J "garden seed" racket, that Congrcs?| men could take a resi ! 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 1 if.. .l.? 1*111 l! IlllU iUIUl %Vll(I IIIU 9UJ-ilbaoiu,; 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. ! * - ~ t\ esreiiu siu'<_\ <m im> ij.i-. 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 I XT - , * * dure snugly stored in :i warehouse lie 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. ?Job work done with neatrsess ami ! dispatch at this office. . ? 1 THE WINNSBORO EAR. !

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.
