[Communicated] The 8«h-*re»s«ry. ]Continucd from our last ianue.] A great difficulty under the sys tem of buuk or government issues has been to avoid an “excess,” and although it is impossible to determine beforehand the amount of issue that will constitute an excess, not only with reference to the basis, but also to the business requirements, gov- ernmeiit or banks have bj;eu more Or less strielly 'limited by lap*. caqnot, hqweTeii .as tm exeess of ", . _ for it constituting not an ulflmaie, but a present security. In the sub-treasury plan this dan ger is provided against by a self- regulating feature, of it which promises to be jierfeet in its work ings. As soon as the demand for currency arises the products begin to [mss into the storehouse, and consti tute a safe basis for issue, and on the other hand, with the decrease by sale of the security, the amount issued decreases. There cannot, therefore, at any time, lie a single dollar in circulation, but has more than its value represented in products—a present security in the hands of the government. Why do I say present security? Because at any time that the government, under the law, may order a sale of products stored, a purchaser will be at hand who will give for the product eighty per cent, of its value, with expenses addul, Ix'ving the full amount due the gov ernment. This is a fact certiynly with reference to the food product, because death by famine is less than two years ahead of the human race. Will the government lose anything from the fluctuations in price of pro ducts stored? The possibility of loss here *is precluded not only by the fact that the government secures it self by a margin of 20 per cent., but alio by the fact that products would be stored when prices were low. Thus the security would increase in value while in the hands of the gov ernment. This self-regulating prin ciple of the plan, moreover, would prevent an excess of storage, thereby avoiding a jaissible redundancy of currency that would effect other in dustries, or interests, in this way. Whenever there was, if such a thing should happen, so great a storage won hi cease, and sales would have the advantage of aseeurable payment in full and the saving of cost of transportation. One other thing recommending for experimentation the two elect products, wheat and corn, their harvesting and prepara tion for market occur at different seasons and cover nearly the-whole year, so that there Ik- no sudden or dangerous increase or decrease in the volume of currency. In a proper view of this plan the question of a loan by the government is not raised. Interest between man and man may be justified, but be tween the government and the citi zen it is robbery. When the govern ment issues certificates upon silver, the holder of the certificates can surrender them and demuud the sil ver. When the government issues legal tender notes upon cotton or wheat these can be surrendered with the certificates of deposit, and the cotton and wheat demanded. The act of the government in the issue of currency is the same. It is the ex ercise of its incidental power of dis tributing money to the pm] le, and the fact that the government owns the silver is the one case and not the cotton and wheat in the other, can make no difference. If this plan is adopted the question arises, what effect will it have upon the other or present currency of the country, and especially gold and silver? Assume two premises which J think every one-who has given thil subject any consideration will concede; First, that an absolute national credit sys tem is inevitable, and that gold and silver has had its day us a sole basis for currency, and I answ er. There will be but one national Currency, each nation having its own paper money for its internal trade, while its gold and silver will take its place as a product in the sub-treasuries by the side of w heat and cotton, and no doubt, if the necessity should arise, be used for the settlement of inter national balances or national debt to other con utries. The gold and si l ver product of the country is one that can be stored from year to year, and can always be relied upon to provide a sure basis for a part of the curren cy that will remain more or less con tinuously in the hands of the people. Under the present system of finance each nation is effected to a greater or less degree, dependent on international business relations, by 50 Bushels Per Acre. Work While it is Day. Sow Wheat.

I have said that an absolute credit system would be adopted. While this is ti ne, in relation to the me dium of exchange, national and pri vate credit paper, 3'c-t it will inevita bly lead to a cash system as to transactions between man and man among the larger classes of the peo ple, because under this system, as can be readily seen, production will create the demand for currency and demand in turn will create the sup ply, such a supply as will bear a pr iper ratio to the business of the country, making it possible for it to be done on a cash basis. Fo by the adoption of the sub- treasury plan we will not only reach a reliable credit, but a cash system that will, in a great measure, put an end to business failures. Should you, kind editors, find tnis of sufficient interest to publish, I will be encouraged to offer more ar guments on a different line of thought at some future time—ideas familiar to many Alliance men, but perhaps new to your non-Alliance readers.

Topeka, Oct. 5.--Jerry Simpson says that the Alliance vote among the.fanners in Kansas is increasing, but slowly since last year. The principal gains have been in the ci ties and towns where the Citizens Alliance lias keen hard at work this year. He estimates the increase at 20 jK-r cent, over last year. Speak ing of the negroes in the south la- said: “They ate llocking to us in the south. I believe that this movementis a solution of the race problem. It divides the.colored as well as the white vote of the south. If it does nothing else, it will do that much good at least.

In 1883 Edge tie-id county produced throe million bushels of red oates, the greatest yield of any county in the United States; so abundant/ indeed, was the crop that we know of two furmers in this county who had oates of the harvest of 1883 for five years thereafter. All this by way of pream ble, and to show that this region is the habitat of the red oats. It is true for several years after 1883 there was a succession of bad oat years—severe winters that killed out the plants and discouraged the fanners very much—but as those were phenomenally cold winters we may. expect not to see their like again soon. There are two ways to make oats; one is to sow a large acreage without fertilization, and the other, to sow a sinalk-r number of acres and fertilize intelligently. 'The following is the plan pursued by Gov. James M. Smith, of Georgia, a most successful oat raiser, and the extract given be low is from his pen: “I*t (be ground be laid off in lands twelve feet wide.

SepleinlxT Hood's main army broke j camp and marched north. The most famous episode of this movement of Hood’s was the resolute and success ful defense made ini October 5th bv General Corse of our post at Allii- ' toona Pass,—one of tin most nicnior- I able occurrences in the whole war. j But we cannot go into, details here. Suffice it to say that Hood struck the railroad in several places, broke up the communication for a time, but finally drew off his army, towards the end of October, to Gadsden, in the .northern part of Alitbaiiia^without a serious engagement. Sherman then reestablished the railroad service to Atlanta, and couceutrating the great er part of his army at Gaylesville, Alabama, waited to see what bis ad versary, whose army was lying not many miles to the southwest, would do next. Sherman bad been convinced by this raid of Hood’s that Atlanta was not permanently tenable, so long, at least as the Confederate army of the West remained substantially intact, nor was it worth the cost of holding it. What was the good of remaining at such an advanced post as Atlanta, where every mile of the only railway 1 y which the army could be supplied offered a temptation to an enemy’s army substantially in good order ami condition? For, unless lie .should' cut loose from his base at Chattanoo ga and march south, giving up his hold (>n the railroad, or else should intention of committing such abluu- der as this. He moved westward as far as Florence, Alai ama, some hun dred. and fifty miles west of Chattan ooga, mid there concentrated his troops and supplies. Here he was on the 1st of November. Here he and Beauregard, who was advising with him, hail fixed their base of operations for their proposed ad vance on Nashville. Now, for Sher man to march across' 1 the country from Gaylesville towards Florence with a large army was not only not an easy task, but it involved the abandonment—so Sherman thought — of Atlanta, and an entire rearrange ment of bases and lines of supply. On the other hand, to retire the n-niy to Tennessee, and there repel an invasion of the enemy, seemed like a confession of defeat, or at least of having entirely failed to car ry out the true objects of the spring campaign—a tiling, us Sherman thought, cert:Ji.ly to be avoided, if possible, t here remained another course,- and it was one which fasci nated the Federal commander alike by its originality and its startling audacity,---and that was to reinforce 1 li'jmas so as to make him equal to the task of repelling the invasion, if one should he undertaken, while the main army, under Sherman in per son, should march across the State of Georgia to Savannah and the sea. Bearing now in mind the great at traction which this project possessed for General Sherman, as appears from his correspondence with the Wash- mglon (uuhoiities, we must not be surprised to find in Sherman's let- ti'i's ‘o Grant and llalleek evidences ni an unwillingness on bis part to retreat to Tennersee, Sherman must j niatter in ail its bearings remain at Atlanta, since the nilro el ^'lUuiviy in the face, and of a strong communication could be extended no further. A large Federal army stale mated at. Atlanta, if we may use an expression borrowed from t he chess board, and whose long line of com munications t .‘inj)tiugly invited at tack, was certainly a lame and impo tent conclusion of the campaign so bravely and hopefully begun on the 41 h of May. Some issue must be found from this unsatisfactory state of affairs. The natural thing to do, and the thing which at this time General Sherman undoubtedly wanted to do, was to resume the original plan ; that is, to - make (lie destruction of the Confederatenrir.v th< of t he evidence that when Hood’s move-1 n ments against the railroad forced Sherman not only to send Thomas to Chattanooga, but to go north himself with the bulk of the army, leaving only one corps at Atlanta, he greatly desired to bring Hoi.l to buttle. But Hood was too vary to accommo date him. lie saw perfectly the great advantage to the Confederates in prolonging the existing state of things to his mind, nothing could well be de.-iiv to dwell only on the more fa vorable condi (tons of the problem, and especially to present the scheme so that (arty its most attractive fea tures should be displayed. 'The idea of a march to the sea, which should demonstrate the hollowness of the ( onfederacy, which should amaze and delight the world by its novelty and its audacity, and which should yet involve no risk to Hie sixty thou sand picked veterans who were to perform the feat, took manifest pos session of General Sherman’s mind.
