at the postofllcc at Temp e at »«cond-clait mall matte
The temptation to sin is ever
present, and some there are who
cannot resist a temptation, of
this class our worthy contempo-
rary the Sun is one. The temp-
tation is to do the same thing
for which Ananias was struck
dead. It sayB:
The Sun to-dnv elopes its discus-
sion of the constitutional amendments
Whether its views have alwavs met
the approval dl its readers nutters
not. If it has succeeded in jotting
you to think about them its main ob-
ject wi<l have been accomplished.
Bear in mind that the hun is ti.e
only paper in licit cot nty that has
discussed them at ali.
A. J. Johnson in Southern
Mercury utters this sentiment:
What our government wants is a
circu.ation of money and an unlimit-
ed coinage, as commerce is unlimited,
product of labor is unlimited, enter-
prise labor and development are un-
limited; resources of our country are
unlimited and undeveloped. We do
not want money to regulate commerce
enterprise labor and developement,
but vice versa and commerce will
regulate itself by supply and demand
Hence let congress declare all mon-
ey of tho government, gold, silver,
niekle and graenbacks, a legal tender
for all debts, both public and private.
Give us honest money and de lare its
purpose as a medium of exchange to
facilitate commerce, enterprise and
developement. Prohibit interest and
di-count. Abolish all bauks botlt
national and private. Invest instead
of lend. Establish bv law a national
exchange office in every postoffice,
thereby create an immense revenue
that will run the general expeuses of
the government, and relieve tho yeo-
, pie-of the heavy burden of tax. fhere-
lore carry out the sublime declara-
tion of Jesus Christ, that every man
shal earn his bread oy th^ sweat of
his tace, for he that lives off the un-
paid labor of another is worse than a
robber. Interest is non-producing,
tnereloro robbery. Money never
created a cent. W hero money and
might are master, justice, mercy and
labor are slave.
For any man to come before
the people as a teacher with
such doctrine is to cast a reflec-
tion upon every man who claims
ordinary intelligence. We will
not take up space to discuss
the “wants” of our govern'
megt, nor all that congress
should declare, but the one
thing that it should prohibit
—interest and discount—we
would like to take a look at.
“Interest is noa-produciug,
therefore robbery.” Two broth-
ers hire out and earn $100. One
invests his in a horse, the other
keeps his in the shape of mon-
ey. They both have what rep-
resents so much labor. Two
men ride up one wants a horse
for six months the other wants
$100 for six months. Should
the brother who has the money
loan it for nothing while the one
with a horse gets pay for the
horse ? or should both put out
their earnings free? No man
bnt a crazy fanatic would
hesitate in answering the ques-
tion, and none but a fool would
claim that the horse should be
paid for and the money let out
for nothing. The money repre-
sents so many drops of sweat,
so many aches and pains, so
much vital force expended that
the farmer has in the shape of
corn, cotton or other produce.
Who will claim that a man has
no right to store up his vital
force ? to keep it for future use ?
If then a man has a right to
store up or refrain from using
only so much of his vital force
as will supply his present
wants, has he not a right to
store up its representative—:
money ? If he should be paid i
for the vital force, why not for
its representative ? “M o n e y
never created a cent.” Is the
man mad, or does he see no
further than his nose ? Money
is a chargedLeyden jar,it is the
representative of exhausted en-
ergy, it is concentrated energy;
wiio will claim that it is non-
creative ?
worth of cotton with one-fifth that
amount of money.
Would a speculator get half the
crop raised by a farmer on shares ?
Yes, for most of the cotton raised
by renters is mortgaged to the land
owner or merchant, and if this cotton
got to the warehouse it would be atter
the speculator had bought it.
If half of all the cotton raised was
put in the warehouse, how much
would this increase he per capita cir-
culation
Ilal: the crop is $150,000,000 and 80
per ceut of this is $120,000,000. Thorh
are 65,000,000 people, hence you seo
the per capita would not bo increas-
ed $2.
How much would it take to build,
equip and run the warehouse one
year ?

Washington Aug. 8.—The speaker-
ship contest has developed new inter-
est now that it is learned that the
Georgia delegation will only support
ludge Crisp in part. Without doubt
had made a solemn promise to his
first wife on her death-bed that ho
would never marry again under any
circumstances. In his will which
was probated to-day, Clarke left his
entire estate, valued at $40,000, to
Mrs. Murphy.
The history of paternal government
m al! ages and among all races of
men portrays it as a cruel and relent-
less step-lather, robbing, oppressing
and enslaving those whom the cap-
rices oi fortune have pheed in its
power. It penetrates every depart-
ment of private lile with its inter-
meddling hand, it regulates religous
opinions, personal habits, industrial
occupations, rates of wages, places of
residence, manner ot living, the cloth-
ing we wear, the food we eat, the
prices we pay and the market in
which we deal, in Europe, whole
kingcraft is statecraft, the monarch
teaches his people that ho is an em-
bassador sent from Cod, that he was
born with boots and spurs on and
they with saddles on their backs,
'this 5s (he statecraft that in Europe
has rued state and ruined peo-
ple, and ume.ss stamped out of exist-
ence on this continent will accomplish
the same disastrous results for us.
The difference between paternalism
there and here is that in one case the
oppression may cornu from one and
in tho other it may come from mill-
ions but whether by one or many its
pernicious results arc the same.
What is a sub-treasuryr
A warehouse where Ibe farmer
pawns his cottou.
How much does the farmer get on
uis cotton pawned at the warehouse?
Iho farmer gets $4. out of every
$5 00.
Who gets the other $1, the farmer
or the government?
The government bolds it to pay 1or
inleresi, insurance, loss of weight, de-
cline in price of cottou, etc.
Who devised tho sub-treasury sys-
tem .?
Jt was cither a syndicate of politic-
ians or a syndicate of speculators.
Gan a specu ator deposit cotton in
the sub-treasury ?
A speculator can deposit cotton ’.n
tho -subtreasury
How many bales cau he deposit in
the sub-lroasury ?
It he has $60,000,000 he can deposit
the .entire ciop, valued at $300,000,000
How can a speculator do this?
bay every fourth or tenth county
had a warehouse, speculators with
$100(000 buy cotton, send it to tho
warehouse, draw $80,000; buy again
and send it to the warehouse ana
draw $64,000; ouv again, send that to
the warehouse and draw $40,000; buy
again; deposit aud uraw money, and
so on, till $100,000 would corner
$500,000 worth of cotton. Msrgins
would not bother him, aud be could
hold so long he paid interest, in-
surance aud warehouse due?. In this
way speculators control $300,000,000

NOT A TRAITOR
Palestine, Julv 22.—I am a farmer. I
have n caue mill, corn mill, gin and
press run : y steam. I learned to lay
of! a straight corn row at fourteen
years of age; learned to build up a
straight ra 1 leuce, commencingatthe
foot of every hill instead of at the top
(as many unthoughtful farmers do), to
keep my fence rails as level as poss-
ible. We now have three plank and
two viie to make a good stock fence.
and that if Mills desired he co"ld be
elected Uni led States Senator to suc-
ceed Judge Reagan. Upon this an-
nouncement many members elected
to the next heuse wrote to Mills to
know what his purposes were, wheth-
er he intended to remain in the
speakership contest or to become a
candidate for the senatorship. Tnesc
letteis were in a measure looked upon
as indicating that some of the prom-
ised supporters of the Texas candi-
date were anxious to cut loose if an
opportunity presented itself. In
answer to these inquires Mills is un-

er (and public roads). Talk about
class legislation! What otner kind

farmer who will voto for any man
trom president to bailiff, unless he
comes from between the plow handles,
is worthy ,o be called a farmer. Let
him co ne direct from the mudsills of
the foundation ot this government.
iNot one farm in fifty in Eastern
Texas is worth over 5 per cent per
annum, aud all legal rates of interest
should be governed by the mudsills
of the government—larm property.
A heavy line and imprisonment for
any greater interest, directly or in-
directly, should be the penalty for
any higher rate. Money is more
powerful thuu this government auu
must be checked by the people. The
tariff is rnakiug a few rich at the ex-
pense of tho many. Extortionate
speculators are sucking the very life-
blood (financially) out of tho farmers
who work from twelve to fourteen
hours, and some sixteen hours per
day, aud not one family in twenty
can afford to build a house that will
command or demand respect. These
are wellknown facts. Mv platform is;

should be owned and controlled by
the government. All freight and
passenger rates the same, according
to class. Freight on all railroads tho
same as tho pos:al service. Free! a merchant, 65 Tears old, summoned
