A Lcnunlium. By Cei. C Ward; Kansas c'ity Mo. If the average legal (current) rate of interest upon secured certificates ol indebtedness is G jxrcenl; would no; the immediate elfect of government loans at 1 per cent, (thus established a current rate of 1 per cent) be to at once make all forms of cerliticates o! funded and secured indebtedness wort h six times their face value? And would it" not make stocu snares now paying only 1 per cent worth par instead ol 1 Gg cents, with aii "-increase of 100 per cent with each a IditionaMfviJend of 1 pcr cent per an u inn. This being true, railroad bonds, now amounting to the S4.S2S,3G,771 would become worth 2(3,070, 104;G2G as an interest paying investment, (not in face value, because the amount of money specified in the bond must always pay it.' Yet the government bonds are worth 120 and and many rati road bonds above par). What about railroad stock share.-', or capital stock? It amounts to $3,404,- 000,318, and paid in 1830 an average dividend of 1.7G per cent, and with an average legal rate of 1 per cent in terest, w mi Id pay the the legal i ate of 1 pel' cent upon, or rather be worth, in round numbers 87.590,000,000, where as it is now probablv worth 33jj cents, or only 81,308,033,100. If the laud- loan bill should become a law, with the railroads1 private property the railroads stock shares would become valuable properly and people would have $G, 000,000,000 mor to. reckon with, than thpy have at present, etc. So tkere is method in Senator Stanford's mad ness? Farm lands now paying 1 per cent would be worth cost. Farm lands now paying 3 per cent would be worth three times cost.

The Farmers Alliance Exchange of Georgia, under the superior manage ment of W;L. Peck, President, and J. O, Wynu, State Business Agent, is do ing a grand work for the members of k)ur order not oulv for the brptlirnii who trade direct with it. but it !eue fits those living in tbe most remote sections of our State, by establishing prices that merchants are forced to meet. There is not a month in the year but that our Exchange saves to Alliiiijccinen more than its entire cash capital.. Every day evidences of great beuefit to our member.' are manifested, and we could fill our paper with in stances where merchants in Atlanta or elsewher.; have to shave their prices, sometimes fifty per cent., in order to comete with the Alliance store. The dealers of Atlanta could and doubtless would, most willingly," pay the Slale Alliance one Million dollars if it would discontinue the Exchange and agree never to establish another. It would be a paying investment even at that price, for this sum could be made back the first, season iu their increased prof its, with such competition out of the way. As an evidence of the gieat' good that our Exchange is doing, city dealer cut the price of one buggy over 840, when his customer threaten ed to buy at the Alliance Exchange. Our State Exchange should be the pride and pet of every Ailianceman in (Jeorgia. It is the greatest protection thrown around our members, and saves theiu directly and indirectly, incalcu lable sums of money. Abolish tins in st it n t ic j s , and our tanners are again at the meny of the merchants, who Iniye wrung such extortionate profits from them. Without this safety valve, the Alliance, with all its power, could ac complish but little in securing reliei for its members in the way or reduced prices. It is not the design to make a dollar out of our Exchange, but only to pay operating expenses, and it is managed in t he most economical manner. The gains are ret urn-d to our numbers in low prices, that merchants arei"- forced j to meet. Even with its present capital, I the annual business of the Exchange amounts to about a half million dollar.-, and if our Alliaiiccmen will back it as they should increase its capitd uid patroaize it more generally there is'uoreasdn why it should not mour.t .ip into tlje -millions.; Mr. Winn has recent ly Opened the wholesale business to farnifs. Its trade is constantly in creasing, and the prospects were never brighter. Contracts for fertilizers are I ou ing in and ivery brit ch is flour ishing. As an index to the low prices charg ed, they sell the best high arm sewing machine for 820, and many other goods m proportion. The capital is sacred uid cannot be used in paying officers. We make the institution pay its' own expenses and no more. For this j ur p ise they get from the manufacturers of fertilizers fifty cents a ton; twenty iivu cents of this they pay to your lo cal trade agent. They sell corn at one cent per .bushel profit, oats one cent per bushel, sugar twenty-five to thirty even and a half cents per bar rel. Ot wagons and buggies they get from tlie manufacturers at five per cent, discount. No profit is charged on meat and many other articles. They sell to each brother alike. The oner Allianceman can buy a side of meat or a sack of corn as cheap as he who is able to buy a thousand pounds of meat or a hundred bushels of corn. The great object is to put all on the same foot ing. Every Allianceman should own stock in our State Exchange even if it be "tut little. It will return you your money many fold iu reduced prices on every thing you buy. And then, you must not only help the Exchange yourself, but talk for it and work for it. Our lecturers must show to their people the grand work it is doing for our order .and its members, and educate the far mers as to the necessity of sustaining it. E ich week the price list appears in our columns. Take this to your neigh bor, and if he refuses lo meet them, s-Miid vour orders direct to the Ex ihange. The gentlemen in charge of the business are clever and honorable men, and do everything in their power to scale prices and advance the inter ests of our members. Let every Alli anceman put his shoulder to the wheel and help to bulla up our .-vinance XiX change. Southern Alliance Farmer.

Four or five das ago the telegraph brought the intelligence that the fa mous "Jones county calf ease;1 the most celebrated proceeding at law ever before the Iowa courts, had been finally brought to a close, after over twenty years of active life, by a ver dict in the Supreme Court 'for the piaiutiu. We retrained from com menting on it at the time, as we could not believe the report. It did not seem possible that the able council emp'oved on both sides would let it die outside of the United States Supreme Court. Lattr advices, however, seem to show that the first report w s only too true and that the Jones county calf case is no more. As a thing reared by the hand of man, it was, we suppose, only natural that it should have an end. It was a bright day in early June, 1800, that five young calves might have been observed wending their way down a Jones county road, as young calves will do. They were the' prop erty of a man named Johnson. Soon these five thoughtless young calves came to the garden of a man named Miller. They broke into this garden and ate up and trampled down sundry vegetables. Miller came out and 'sicked1' his dog on the marauding calves. The dog chased them back up t'.ie pretty Jones county road on u f ist run. Indeed, he chased them so fast that when they arrived at their Jiome three of them died from exhaustion. The others were injured, one of them dying in 1872. The other, it is true, lingered along as late as 18S3, but it was never what it should have been and was always more or le:-s troubled with palpitation of the heart. The next day after the calves came home bringing the dog behind them John son engaged counsel and sued Miller. Miller engaged co"unsel and began a spirited defence I his was the begin- ning of the Jones county calf case. The amount for which Johnson sued was $45, the value of the three calves. Miller, through his counsel, set up the following defence: First, that the calves were never at his place; second, that he noticed when they broke in that they were sick and about ready to die; and third, that they didn't die at all, but were sold to a man in a neighboring county. The case got a good start in 'GO and ran on Vigorously through the early and late '70s, took a new lease of life in December, 1870, and galloped 'along through the '80s, showed great activity during 1800, and opened the present, year in perhaps the' best shape that it has ever been in; but before scarcely a month had passed it was cut off in Mts prime. Miller died in 1878, but his children kept up the fight; Johns m held till 1883, dying thr day after his last calf, but active grandchildren stood ready and anxious to take up the struggle. Why the Iowa Supreme Court, composed of judges w ho were formerly lawyers, let the case end, we cannot conceive, for it is on the law yers that the burden of the ending of the Jones county calf case falls the heaviest. The first dispatch sail, sig-. nificantly: " It has bankrupted every body connected with it except the attorneys-.'1 It conies with especially crushing effect on Colonel Markham and fam ily, counsel for the plaintiff. Col Markham beganwith .the case in 18G0.N He give up his other practice in 1S75 and devoted diirnself solely to it. Four years ago he associated his son George Markham, a rising young Law yer of thirty years, with him iu the case, and it was the colonel's intention to retire at the end of this year and leave it altogether to the younger man. George Markham has a little six year old son, and many' times his father has taken him on his knee and told him how he expected him to enter the law and some day succeed to the case on which his grandfather had lived so long. Now of course, all of these bright prospects are shattered. 'ol. Markham, it is true, can retire with a comfortable fortune, and George has his excellent start in life, but the Iowa Supreme Court has heartlessly left the boy with no prospects whatever. Thus the Jone county calf ca-e passes into history along with the civil wsir. the surrender of Cornwallis and th discovery of America. Put as we write this there comes i gleam of hope from Iowa after all. It is hinted that the Miller heirs may sue the Johnson heirs far malicious prosecution, and there may yet be a' chance for t-Ye youngest Markham. New York Tri bune. How to Treat Seed Potatoes. Perhaps there would be no harm done if I should tell you how I would treat a barrel of potatoes worth 8 i p;r pound. Firt, I would pack them in half-bushel flat boxes, and place them in the coolest part of my cellar, airing them every three or four weeks and examining them. About the fir-t of March, as soon as sprouting begins, I would spread out in even layers and ornose them to light. Last of March or first of April I would divide them into halves and plant in a cold fr une. covering about two inche-.
