It. f?. Mills is a member of the Ways ami .Mcan?

Hi* reply litis rudely dispelled Iliat hope, for from start to finish it is full <tf wild misstatements ati'l as wiM conclusions.? Nut one provision of I lie liill lias broil fairly stated, ami to cover up these ralical c ntorttons o ' the sub-treasury, lie ingeniousy flirts the bloody shirts in a way to make even Ingalls smile, t'ol. MilJs cither does not understand the bill or willully cunlorls and misrejiresents it. II s rc|dv is so long a iambic (\od conlmditts itself so badly that in _ll*;? reply I shall on'y notice those points rtiised that have any etdor of It nth in them. I aui snre that the brave deeds of Colonel Mills in the past v.II arouse the admiration .and gratitude el' the people, but they will net answer for argument upon so import;;at a measure. His first object ion. tlioto-luf warehouses, I is not founded on fr.li.

His s.-comt onjecno.i j-; Unit under llic wo.tkings j of the stih-tn usury >ulI tlie Motet mucin will nbxuball the private hiisiucst ot' the people. This proposition is wholly rcfulvl by iIk* fict? : for w r'.tittgs of tin* sub-ircasuvy ??3stt-m the |>co|'lt* fled the agent the same manner that they now elect any other County otlieer. lie. like the rest, will elect hi< own n*sis'nnts, and as a matter of course will select them front his constituents. This also upsets Colonel Mi ls' assertion that the system v. ill till the South full of ltcpub ican fcleral ollieo ladder-. These agents duty i? to receive, stoic, ami when desired l?y the owner to ailveiiee money on produce storeil. lie has no power to in any way dispose of this produce until after twelve months have expired. The statistics clearly show that all of these products must he consumed within lli" year or the wheels of civilization must stop ; hence the depositor runs no risk of having his produce so d at auction by the agent. I nder the } r visions of this lull no agent eau r-reivc over S|,.">00 annually for his services, therefore it is seen Mint a price is put upon the labor of lli" agent, for every agent elected under this bill two wi'l he displaced who are now self appointed, and they place tite r own price upon their labor and compel the farmers to pay it, for the warehousi'iiicns and elevator a-sociations lix the prices, and under the present systems the farmers cannot escape them. Foreigners are fust ahjotIviig all the elevators, ami will soon take in the mills and breweries.

Surely i spee'e will not run away hcenue the security is good : such thing never as yet happened. The Colonel is terribly frighted about the I great iiiHntirn of the circulating medium that will follow the adoption of the stibtrensnry bill. The c ?tien crop of 18H0 amounted, a'l told, in round numbers, to S312,(WH),(lOO. Supposo this entire e?op was jiui through the warehouse system, and noted during the months of {September, Oc'ober, November, and December, bow would the account s'and on lirsl day of January following? I'nder tins sysleio S2'i,'HM>,tMKt would be sold to consumers mouildy, making one bud drcd and I< f iiiillioiis columned; Hum would leave two hundred and eight million.M worth on tlej.os I ; llion xii|>|io*c llio full limit had been advance I on every bale, lite anionet outstanding on the lirsf of January would be one hundred and sixty-six million dollars. Wo will now estimate the groin to f- 'Shl be stored at three hundred ami sixty iniltiui ! dollars: t\.r it must Jtc remembered that ; two-thirds of tiie grn'<n crop must l>3 r?- j ttined on the farm consumption. Now suppose -this grain is all stored during the 1 mouths of Angus', September, October and November, bow would the account st?nd on the first day of January following? Under f this system thirty trillion dollars will be de- j lirered monthly to consumers ; this would j amount to one hundred and fifty millio i dollars. Deduct this from the thVee linn- j dred and sixt3* million dollars wool I leave two hundred and ten million dollars worth | on hand, .and if the limit was advanced upon it the amount would be one hundred | and sixly-o'ght million dollars. Add the two together ami we see that there would be I outstanding mi tho first day > !' January j tlirbc hundred and thirty-four nidiion dol- I lars : this is tho sunt total of the inflation '1'lns would be rapidly returned by sale of j the produce. Now during 1889 there wm exported from ' the United States over five hundred and ' tfiirty-two million dollars worth of farm | 1 juvmuvi^1, vtvrj uumii I'l niiifti IMI'1 IU "VJ paid for in money, because our in rift" lam prevented us from taking the produce if those purchasers in exchange for ours. These j foreigners were compelled ilierefire to hunt customers for their produce elsewhere, and ( if they could have secured elsewhere the farm products they did buy from us it is hut reasonable to say they would have done so. I therefore we are forced to conclude tha' tlroy 1 made those purchases from us under compulsion. It naturally follows wo arc masters of the situation and that they werecompcljed to pay its in the kind of money that wo wete ; willing to lake. Iiencc Col. Mills' much ado about inflation, or the gold and silver leav. J ing the couutry. falls te I ho ground. l>ors any one deny that we need thin extra aniepnt i of money in circulation more than we Vow have? Col. Mills does not unless he repudiates all the great speeches he lias hereto lore delivered in lite' .Ninth Congressional district that made him so popular with his ! constituents?' Col. Mills says that if we adopt the sub- \ treasury system we will he compelled 11 add i bacon, pork, beef, butter, cheese, lard, li'ay, j iron, steo', woolen and cotton goods t > toe | list. ! ] After the system has been perfeclel the | good sense of the people guided by oxpcr'cnee will dictate to tliem what avticles to add ! * and what to rejec. fir all democrats believe j ' that the pcop'e are and will remain fu'ly competent. to manage their own alla'rs, iim! j they will surmount every obstacle that bin- | dors their progress of liberty.

" Well, Mr. Editor, wo aro on a boeoi lioro ' in Virginia. Everything is booming. The _ old folks and the little children are all boom- l'1 ing, but uot withstanding the boom being so 1M general there arc yet a tew towns and cities in the State which haven't had an option taken on the land around mid tlio vacant l,r lots insi lo. fo Though 1 am not authorized to give this notice, yet, that it may never bo unid that 10 duo not ice wai not given beforehand, lot me re' advise that ifaoy who read this nisli a optiou en aby Virginia town or ci'y, that they coin*, at once, if they can't come sooner, for 0 Hi. io. hoi it win ?> i i !?g to be tbken and we will nevor cease boOui.

Virgini i is rich in mineral wealth, mid the development of tliik"fact is drawina cani- a?> tul from oilier states not so highly favored cn and investing it here. Souie of the finest " mineral waters known to the world are found ir hero in aiuht in abunda ico, and tho sup- 'J?1 ply of coal and iron seems to ho inexhausu- ?r bio in the western part of the State. There towns and even citios are Hpriuging up like ,( nuigic. It is wondet'ful how fast some of the people of that section Jiiiv^ gotten rich. One man purchased a faujn for very i easoa- j" ablo figures, soon fcuolhtr cnnio and purchns- "e ed from him, payhig several thousand del- ll0| lars more tlui'i tho first, then a third came and paid the second purchaser several thouBand more than he paid. Now the present c ow*ner.s are getting ilch taking out coal and a iron from this same farm, while near by is springing up a live town.' JJ'* The crops are looking well, except where the ha'e storm passed last Saturday, which did very consi lornblo damage. Corn was c?' torn into shreds wbilo tobacco was literally ruinod. Oats were threshed out leaving only tho broken and tangled straw fiat on the n.10 ground. The track of the storm was about t,n two milei wide, I suppose, extending far ni!1 down into North Carolina, where t hear the 01'' hail killed Home cat Co.
