few questions on constitutional mat
ters: Is it constitutional for the
government to levy a tax on the clothes,
food and implements of. farmers' in or
der to protect and enrich the manu
facturers of New England? Is it not
that' class legish.tiou? Isjt constitu
tional for the government to take or
deposit bout's held by a National bank
and issue it money at one per cent in
terest? Is it constitutional for the
Government to build, school houses ut
every cross-road in the country ? Is it
constitutional f '-r the government to
4rmii hit-P-M s?iinis of money in banks
r-L'
without charging interest?
If thess things -are' constitutional,
why islt not cousiitutional for the gov
ernment to issue money to larmers
with their products as security?
There is lust.as mucli sense in len i-
ing money io farmers at one per cent,
s any other clasp, and t Here is niucii
more -Justice in it than in rtqtnringia.
certaiu per cent, ot everything farnieis
buy. to gd mto the private pockets oi
manufacturers. If a scheme to benetit
manufacturera is constitutional, why is
v scheme to benefit faimers uncon.xti-
utioual?
The manufacturers have had the
favor of the govern nient now for half
a century, and it is about time for a
new deal.
Onerof the tilings the government
must do, constitution or no constitu
tion, it must either wipe away the tar
iff and other statutes which oppress the
farmers, or provide some relief for
them such as the sub-treasury plan
proposes.

Under it the taxes will be placed
where it will be most easily borne
Unlike other taxes it falls upon result:
achieved, laying no embarrassmen
upon' the endeaver.
Under it profits will be taxed and.
wages extmjit; busiiie.-s enterprise will
be free to earn and will make its con
tribution to the public revenues only
Out of its surplus earnings.
Under it wtalth will no longer es
cape while .poverty is made to pay.

cates relative lo General '.Weaver's ud
ministrations at Pulaka, Tenn., during
the lute war.. '1 his the Chronicle calls
lyrany. No doubt these things are put
in their darkest hue; and with that ex
ception they arc very complimentary o
tne man whom the Lliromcle wishes to
defeat. L t us fcc : You will remember
that then he was a general in the Union

not do what he could to accomplish that
w hereunto be was sent? I answer yes.
Now w here is the w roug? It oulv shows
that when the General undertakes any
thing that he does it with ajj his might.
Now he has taken a staud for reform and
fur the -people and w e believe he will go
for it U the ext at of his power. "Hurrah
Ifor Weaver," where couid wc get a better
