One of llic I5raint Citizens of the Stat', Oefiiie his Position. ;ri;-TKi:AM;i;v inu. AN Jt nn:r. m a m:i. In answer to a private 1 -t t -r from Col. John K. Hesiman a.-k-nitf certain piestions epr-cially with reference to the Sub Treasury Rill, Prof. I'. F. (irady, writes the following letter, which we take the liberty of publishing witliout his. knowl edge or consent. It is as follows:- My Dear Mr. Reaman: I havo delayed answering the question in your b-tter received several days ago, because of a lack of time. My position as to the Sub-Treasury proposition of the Farmers' Alliance cannot b3 made clear to you nor defensi ble iu myself wMiout an ex planation more or less elaborate. You and I have always been strict constructionists of tin? "most straitfhtest sec"; have rearmed a point in our career as a people where strict construction does not meet the demands of the situat'on and, in my judgment, is not invol ved ji the issuo which has been joined. Re patient with u e, and J will explain. The government of the United States was created bv the thirteen States to "estab lish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, and secure the blessings of liberty to our selves and our posterity." How far these pnpes have be -n complied with by those who have been deputed to administer the government, vh may judge from a consideration of a few facts: . The Hist Congress, without warrant in the constitution, fad died on the farmers and labor ing people of the Union, at a time when the total population was about three millions, a debt of twenty one millions of dollars for the benefit of the commercial clasn In one section of the Union. '1. A standing law of the Union has always given a monopoly of the coast wise trade to domestic vessels, thus tilacimr in the hands of the owners of those vessels the power to levy tribute on the fanners and laboring people This has always been justified on the plea of patriotism, and frun that standpoint may be defensible: but its effect has not been to establish "justice. :5. With modifications now and then, legal, poxver has been conferred, from the beginning, on the fishermen of the New England coast to draw out from the people'. treasury moneys for which they have performed no service. 4. Equally witliout warrant in the constitution a system of encou? aging domestic manu factures has robbed the farmers and laboring people for the benefit of a class, with conse quences which I need not indi cate. 5. An unjust and unconstitu tional system of internal taxa tion has impoverished the toiling masses of the country. Do you ask why 1 think it uu ccmtitntional? The tax on whiskey Is an "excise" tax. Row an excise is a part cut off a tax in kind and certainly ninety ( 'jnts a gallon cannot be a part of the value of a gallon of whiskey. Moreover the con stitution declares that taxes shall be uniform throughout tho United States, whereas thi. tax is not paid in prohibition States. Let each State tax its whiskey drinkers. b A banking system has been established, without warrant in the constitution, which has, for a quarter of a century, been em powered to expand and contract the market prices of the pro ducts of the country, so as to enrich themselves at the ex pense of their helpless victims. t. The halls of Congress have been, eyer since you and I have had any knowledgo of public matters, rv Pandora's box out of which has flowed a continuous nil earn of evils disturbing and destroying our domestic tran quility." 8. The money unjustly taken frrm the people has been to an enormous amout squandered in ways and for objects not con templated by the States when the constitution was satined by them. Now it is as ciear as noon day " that if the government could be to day set back on the track in tended and laid down by the patriots of a century ago, there could be no reparation of the mischief that has been done; the classes heretofore favored would still have all the money, and the farmers, and laborers would still be in their power. Money is power and the man wl o has it can use it to further his own selfish purposes, law or no law. These facts and these considerations have caused me several years of anxiety: I have been in doubt as to what posi tion I should take, with a gradral veering to the purposes of the Union, and a lingering too uac& ai mat "rascal i lviitu," consistency. In this .- m . 1 r r .1 Maine oi mum i once lavoreu thf lilair bill, which I after wards opposed on other grounds. The position I now hold is to advocate any measure which may give the people of the country an opportunity to get even with those who have b n the beneficiaries of the govern ment. An income tax, although in its nature incapable of being '-uniform,'' and, therefore unconstitutional from the stand point of the strict construc tionist, is one ot these measure-, and has the merit, if it is a merit, of having been sustained by tho Supreme court. The Sub Treasury scheme of the Alii ance is another; and, while it is objected to on the plea that it is not warranted by the consti tution, the strictest consfruc tionist cannot deny the power of the government to remedy the evils which have been in flicted on the farmers and labor ing people by that government. To undo a wrong can never be unconstitutional. I need not cite precedents to justify the building of ware houses A:c. The old United States Rank: the distillers' ware-houses; the loaning of public money to banks, dis guised under the name of "do posits;" the loaning of money to the Philadelphia Centennial committee, and to tha various expositions; expansions and contractions of tho currency by act of Congress; the donation of public money to the Pacific Mail steamship line, and other like subsidies; tho donations of laru'e sums annually to the widows of deceased Presidents and ex-Presidents these may be cited as precedents for even the giving of money to the pro ducers of raw material in this country. Put we do not need precedents; we need simply to know that our poposition will tend to "establish justice," and rectify the wrongs of a century. devolutions never go back wards, and governments never peaceably no backwards, and your children and mine will not live long enough to see the government of the United States confined to its constitutional functions. Indeed J have no ex pectation that it ever will be. History does not so teach me. What.then, shall we do? Clearly it is our duty to arouse the peo ple to rise up in their might and demand such legislation as will give them a share of the "blessings of liberty" intended for them by our forefathers. When this result is reached, it will be time to talk about the constitutionality of the Sub Treasury scheme. These are my views, and this is my purpose, undeterred by raised by the plutocrats and their hired attorneys. Yours for Justice, 1. F. (lUADV. CONGRESSIONAL Mu. Editor I see in your last issue a letter from some one signing "Cumberland," expos tulating on the merits of Col. V. J. Green, and putting him forward a candidate before the next Congressional Convention. Well, Col. (Jreen is a gentleman, and made a good representative while in Congress notawcrd to bn said against him personal ly, but lie has been honored twice to that high position, md as rotation seems to be the order of the day, we are certainly not lacking in material in this dis trict. Yes, he was honored two term, four years, for which ser vices ho received twenty thou sand dollars. Now, I think, he and his friends should be satis fied. As for material, where is Poykin, Aycock, McLean, Cal loway, Mclver,Stewart and Kerr, and a host of others fully capa ble. But I am a P.oykiu or Ay cock man. Some say oh ! they are lawyers ; we want farmers. Well, Mr-Clammy claims to be a farmer. He 1 as been honored twice and got his twenty thou sand. 15. F. Grady is frequently spoken of. He is certainly a brainy man, a gentleman, a scholar and one of the best post ed men in the State, and oi.e who would fill the position with credit and ability. Rev. Colin bhaw is mentioned also, lie is as plucky as a game-cock, and as bout and fearless as a lion in the forest, and would stand up boldlj for the interest of his constituents. I will -he. e sug gest a man for consideration, for the position, who is as eminent ly qualified for it, as any that we have had, since the talented Waddell (who has no superior, in this, or any other State),that man Is John A. Bryan, of Dup lin. He is a farmer veritably, and not in name only ; he is a man obscure and modest, but firm. You can't find a man in the district better posted on the affairs of the government, and the statistics of the country. He can tell you fluently, the population, indebtedness, etc., of ft very State, as well as the gov erment, and the general crook edness of the Congressional pro ceedings. A11 who know him thoroughly, will coincide with ine in saying he is an honoiable, conscientious, high-toned gen tleman, o strict integrity, a christian and strictly sober, never did drink liquor. We can't send a man there, that would stand more boldly and firmly agairst monopolies, combines, trusts and protective tariff, he A Fol'lllll ofPllblk OpilllOIl would stand squa'e up for the J farming and agricultural inter-; rsts, (which supports the whole THE OPINION OF OUR READ world .) In fact I don't know of ; KliS ON THE VARIOUS a www that we would do b tte to send to represent us the next Congress than .John A I.ryan, of Duplin, if you are goinr iu for a f inner that i practicable. Mr. Pryan is not an aspirant. Thi-1 is without his soli ?;tat'o;i, knowledge or consent. Sa mi-son J AN. "ii a ys!.i;ii;k" takms "K TO TASK. Mr. Editor: Senator Kerr's article on a Railroal commission in your issui of the 22nd nit, and his promise last week to answer your pertinent questions foreshadow what may be an interesting discussion, and, if you have no objection, I propose to put iu a word. Mr. K's display of .'egal learn ing was quite creditable to him but the.e was one omission which I regretted to see. He asserts that the "Supreme court of the United States has decid ed" (l;j Wallace, oGSj "that the State cannot tax the Wilming ton and Weldon railroad," but omits to quote the language of the court. I infer from this that he quotes from memory, and I further infer from the fact that this decision was not published to stop the agitation during the la-4 session of the General Assembly, that he lias fallen into an error. If he will look up page 2G1 (Railroad Co. vs Reid) he will find the com mon sense decision that if a State grants a charter and stipulates that the corporation shall be taxed only at a certain rate or on a certain basis, the privilege cannot be revoked only this and nothing more, Now the Wilmington and Weldon road was exempted from taxatcion until the happen ing of a certain contingency. That contingency, it is alleged, happened long ago and still continues. Does the decision in Railroad company vs Read tender the State powerless to tax this road, if tho allegation is true? Mr. Kerr is too well v rsMl in legal princeples to maintain any such proposition Asraiii; if this road has evadet taxation by any means, as the people generally believe, who is to expose its methods to ihe General Assembly and give that body the information on which it can constitutionally compel the road to bear its share of the bnrdens of government? Was not the investigating committee appointed by the last General Assembly, of which Mr. K. is a member, intended for such work as this? If it was not, the DfiOld-i ue.e Iii'.t st.rtkinir in flip dark whn they demanded a Railroad commission. If it was. why luive these I0112 months been permitted to roll by with out such an investigation of the affairs of this road as the peo ple expected? The charge should either be proved or disproved; and trusting that Mr. K. will urge his committee to ascertain the facts at an early day. I hereby promise to save him the trouble of hunting up witnesses by giving, through this paper the names of two or three parties who ca n throw a several-power-can die light on the question, if he will indicate his desire for such assistance. 'Ibis will be "business," and nothing less will satisfy. Hayseeds. CO M 31 1 : rci3 JI KXT.

TIIK MUNKTIZ ATION (K I.AMI. r.v r. i f i'i:i. Ao. . j The National Economist, the official orran of the Alliance,! I says, "There are five methods! j by which the Government loans money to banks.

We made a statement iu our last article that there was no earthly reason, except unjust legislation, why any man upon good security could not borrow money for not more than three per cent, and in view of the fact that banks very often are charged no interest at all, and when t.hev na.v internst to tln government it is only at the i - . 1 . . . ... . - -... rate of one 1 er cent per annum in view, we say, of this fact, can any one deny the truth of our statement? And if it is true, is not the national bank ing system which stands direct ly in the way of such a result the most monstrous evil that I has ever oppressed any people. We think it is. mid we are sure. ! that if once the people under . ' stand the oppressions that are put upon them bv the m ney power, they will not longer submit to it. If the newspapers would do their duty by instruct ing the people, such a system ol organized robbery aided by law, could not survive a year longer.

Why not allow tho people, who are not flush in bonds like the Goulds and Vanderbilts, to organize a sys tem of state banks, based upon land value, and thus scure the currency which they need as cheaply as the national banks? As matters now stand, any at tempt to organize a system of State banks, such as we have suggested, must fail because the United States levies a tax upon such banks of ten percent upon their circulation, for the very pin pose of preventing tl e people from organizing them, thus protecting the national banks by a kind of internal tariff against State competition and by these means rendering it extremely difficult to obtain money by giving eight or tanj per ceni interest, when it should be plentiful and easy to obtain upon good security, for thiee per cent. The remedy is simple and easy, repeal the law taxing State banks. This can only be done by Congress, and the peo ple should see to it that candi dates are sound upon this question. II far the State Legislature can remedy the evils, by the issuance of interest or noii interest bearing State londsof small denominations, receivable for state taxes, and all debts due to the State, and a legal tender for all debts due the citizens of the State, re may discuss in some future ar ticle. Our present purpose is to show that Congress by proper legation, which ought to be at least half as fair to" the peo ple as it is lo the banks, can provide a system of currency, secured, not by gold or bonds piled up in treasury vaults, but based upon land, the founda- tion of every th:ny,that would be folly as safe and as well adant cd to all the wants of the peo ple, as that now supplied to them through the National banks, and which would he abundant and easy to obtain upon good security at not morn than thre. per cent.

' 'K'S" ANSWI'IJ. lr l-.di nr- n taup i.i.h- .-. ! week befoie last you asked "K" two questions, which, I will! now proceed to answer iu the order in wh h yoi k them. Your first question is- "Have the Railroad ot the power to i discriminate in favor o, or ; against any pia-- or partv at their oa 11 sweet :eioi ul w?lis," j To this question I answer no, ; ana lor tne . i.lonnnt uMi ot your read. rs I viil qu u- the law showing th.-y cum;.!. Seethe j Code Vol i. rreciiim HMM, which i re ids as foil. y.-: "It shall 1H unlawful for any railroad corporation operating' transportation ot any freight . of au--" description over its road j greater amount as toll, or ; coini'ensation than shall at the same time be charged by it for; the trans lortition of an equal; quantity oi' the same class of i freight transported in the same J direction over any portion of! same railsord of equal distance, 1 andany railroad company viola-1 tmg this section snail turleit j and nav the sum of two hundred i dollars lor each and every oiience to any jierson suing fo1 il. t ... i, tiie ssa.me. coining in mis i chapter shall be taken in any manner as abridging the right an railroad company from UUlklUg special contracts with shippers of largo quantities of freight, to be not less in quanti ty or bulk than one car load." In the year 1S8G a case un:ler this law was carried to the Supreme Oourt of Nort'i Caro lina. The facts in the case were thes. The Wilmington and Weldon Ii. Ii. carried ten tons of fertilizers from Wilmington to ilockv Mount for a man named Hines and also carried ten tons of fertilizers from Wilmington to Tarboro for a man mimed Battle and charged both men the same price where- as Tarboro is eighteen mile; further from Wilmington than Rocky Mount. Hines and Battle brought suit against the W. & W Railroad under this law for two hundred dollars as the law says for a Penalty they obtained judg- merit against the Railroad for the two hundred dollars in the Superior Court and the Railroad appealed to the Supreme Court See the 95 North Carolina Reports page 434 for this decision. The Supreme Court in the case says: it appears, that according to its current list of charges for carrvinw freight, the defendant charged for ! 1 carrying fertilizers from Yi3:-iiing- ! ton in this State, to Rocky Mount m ims riau, over ifs railroad, a distance of one hundred and thirtv- seve:i Rli!t's two dollars and fifty ! ad, an equal distance, and thence class of freight, and charged him lorty-two dollars and fifty cents. To simplify this statement; "the defen dant charged the plaintiffs two dol- utis a;i(i rmy cents, lor carrying aj ton of fertilizers one hundred and! thirty-seven miles, over it- road, j and at the same time, charged It. II. j Rattle but the same amount, as j compensation for carrying a like to i of fertilizers, in the same direc tion, over its same railroad, a greater distance, to-wit, on i hundred and fifty-five miles. In the orderly course of business, this latter charsre was for the whole distance, and not i simply for a part of it ending at Rocky Mount. The presumption is, nothing to the contrary appearing, j that the charge was for the whole j distance. Ilenc-e it must be. that the defendant charged the plaintiff a greater amount as comperisation for carrying their ton of fertilizers, for the distance of one hundred and thirty-seven miles of its railroad, than it did at the same lime charge R. II. Rattle, for carrying an equal quantity of the same class of freight in the same direction and equal, in this c ise the same distance, over its same railroad; and so, also, the defendant charged the plaintiff for carrying ten tons of fertilizers one hundred and thirty-seven miles over its railroad, twentv-five dol lars as compensation, and at the same time charged another shipper, It. II. Rattle, an amount for tarry ing an equal quantity of the same class of freight, an equal distance, and iu this case, the same distance, in the same direction, over its same railroad. We have already seen that the fact that the defendant carried for one of these two shij pers, at the same time, ore than ten tons, cannot affect the result. They had equal quantities to the extent of ten tons, and for these equal quantities, it charged one of them a greater amount as compensa tion than the other for au equal distance, and this is the material fact in this respect and connec tion. The defendant therefore in curred the penalty sued for in this action. Judgment Affirmed. j Thus you see Mr. Editor it is against the law to discriminate. This section 1966 of the Code was amended by the Legislature of 18S7 and made even more stiiugent against the Railroads See the Laws of 1837, page 90 and page 412. On pae 90 of i Laws of 1837 amending this secion 19G5 of the Code, the amended law reads: "It shall be unlawful for any railroad operating m this State tooliect for the transportation of any freight of any description, ot Continued on Fourth Pie.J ATLANTIC COAST LINE.
