Colonel Livingston Explains the Farm ers' Demands. We copy tho following intcrviow with President Livingston, from tho Atlanta Journal : "The ftib-treasury bill, introduced into congress at the last tension, was intended to mako operative the St. Louis demands. .Since wo have added real urtat as a security for loans, nec essarily a bill will be drawn different from the old one. "Wu have never planted omselves upon tlie sub-treasury bill exclusively, but havti always contended for the plan or principle, and so stated when before congress. Now we stand upon the sub-treasury plan as adopted at Ocnla and demand of congress a bill in dotail to mako that system operative, "This can bo dono, as wo declare, with one or moro sub-treasuries or de positories in oach state, with or with out government warehouses. The present facilities for warehousing will answer without the expenso of govorn mcnt warehouses or apparatus. "In olhor words, if congress will onaut a law authorizing tho issue of notes to be deposited in tho states, and to bo loaned on non-perishablo farm products and real estato at not moro than 2 per cent, per annum wo will bo perfectly satisfied. This is tho Ocala plan. Wo will and can tako caro of the warehousing and all necessary details without any help from tho government whatever. All that wo insist upon is thus brioily stated." What is tho sub-treasury plan?" "Wo demand that tho government shall establish sub-trcasuriea or deposi tories in tho several states, which shall loan monoy direct to the pcoplo at a low rate of interest, not to exceed 2 por cent, por annum, on non-porish- nblo farm products and also upon real estate, with proper limitations upon tho quantity of land and amount of nonuv. "We demand that tho amount of circulating medium bo speedily in creased to not less than $50 per capita 'This is tho Ocala sub-treasury plan, differing from tho St. Louis plan in thai real estato is added as a security upon which to borrow monoy." "What is tho simple analysis of this plan? Givo it so the pcoplo can under stand it." "It means that congress shall mi thorio tho insuo of treasury notes, good for all debts, private and public, euppliuicnting tho gold ami tilror cur rency actually in circulation, owned And control!! by this country, to equal the ffemaud. II means that tbli currency rlull h bawd upon tho flit Of tin) MOvcriiweiit, (Fiat wow y,) 'J14 hwah lUat thU currency irt-U k um ll Ik UuaM ' property of this country, whether taxed or not; also for the right and power of congress to declare war, and enlist, for the defense of the credit of the government, every citizen subject to military duty, In a word, every dollar's worth of property and the life of every man subject to military duty ; would stand pledged for such a cur rency. This is a much better basis for an issue than gold or silvor. ( Lands and citizens cannot be secreted when pay day comes ; gold and silver can. "This plan means a currency ac cording to demand. This is a law of nature that is stamped upon every ' thing that has left the hand of a wise and beneficent God, and should be recognized in every business arrange ment put forth by man. "Who has the right or the foresight to estimate tho amount of currency needed in a country like this in a ' given period? Who can tell today what will bo the out-put of the fields, shops, mines and manufacturers of the United States for 1891? A currency should bo useful as a medium ol the exchange of products. Such an ex change as will facilitate and help on to prosperity and well being all wealth producers. Who besides those inter ested should settle the question wheth er they need this facility or not? "Tho suli-treasury plan means to declare that the United States congress is legally and morally bound to fur nish tho amount of currency necessary, . to successfully carry on tho business I of this country, without let or hin j drancc, to any calling (legitimate) or i section. The constitution reserves to congress the exclusivo right to com I money and fix its value. Congress ; has gone further, and to protect this exclusivo privilege has taxed all state corporate or individual issue of certifi cates or bills of promise to pay, to be used as a circulating medium, ten per cent. This plan means to declare that as long as tho constitution prevents, through congress, the states or corpo rations helping themselves on this line, that congress should and shall furnish the currency needed upon demand. "The sub-treasury plan means that the government credit shall not be a source of speculation between her citi zens, thereby placing tho weak at tho mercy of tho strong, or, as Calhoun, John C, stated it, '$hy should tho people be charged interest upon tho government credit when that credit culd bo sunt to them without charge?' In other words, direct to the pcoplo is our plan. This plan evades premiums, interest and commissions, and gives tho people cheap money which the government is bound to do, or turn tho people loose and let them supply themselves. ....... ... number of tho pcoplo the facility for borrowing monoy, or tho tiho of monoy in tho exchange of products not for speculation. "It says 'on non-perishablo farm products and also on real estate.' You ask mo, why not upon stocks and bonds? For the simple reason tho pcoplo havo not and cannot obtain such collateral. In other words, our plan is intended to benofit tho pcoplo, and, therofore, must rest upon such collateral as tho pcoplo have lands and crops. It would bo perfect mock ory to ofTor tho farmers of this country money upon any other security, and ovcry intelligent citizen must aithcr agico to such a plan or tako tho posi tion af a 'gold-bug' let tho pcoplo labor and let capital manage the cur rency, or in a word, tako tho emphatic position of Vandorbilt, 'damn tho people.' "This plnn means that tho govern ment shall continue to do just what it is now doing only substitute tho pco plo for tho banks, only substitute tho peoplo for tho capitalists, and instead of an issue to meet the demands of tho banks an issuo to meet tho demands of tho pcoplo." "What aruEomo of tho advantages?" "This plan would givo us a curronoy to fit the business, and not tho gam bling Mid speculative propositions of our tieoplo. "This currency could not bo cornered or interfered with, tho government and the borrower alone would be or cauld be parties to tho contract.

"Tlii plan would onuble tho poor to reach cheap money, ami If there wa no other rvKkOU lo commend it to tho patriot, ChrUtlwn nod talcninan, thin abnnlil "This plnn would encourage owner ship of real estate, and thereby encou i age and stimulate good citizonship. "This plan would encourage farming ; J and planting for the reason that non- J perishable crops would become a basis for financial transactions at a much less cost to tho producer than now ob tains. "This plan, and only this plan, would stop gambling in futures, corners and combines upon tho necessities of life. "Tins plan would help the mer chants and manufacturers in that mer chants could realize at least tho advance upon the crops or the whole debt duo upon tho land security. Manufactur ers could purchase for monthly deliv eries at le;3 expense." The Population of Hade. Certainly an endeavor to arrive at a correct idea of tho population of hell, assuming the orthodox idea of it to be sound, has at least the element of novelty to recommend it. A recent I writer has computed that in round numbers the earth has a population of 1,300,000,000, of which 300,000,000 are professed Christians, the other 1,000, 000,000 being Mohammedans, Bud dhists, Jews, Pagan, heathen. The whole race was condemned to eternal punishment for the sin of Adam. This was the fall of man, from which there was and is no redemption t-avc through the death of Christ. Biblical chronology gives the earth a period of about 0,000 years. From Adam's time to Christ was 4,000 years, during which no human soulf were saved. Tho population then may have averaged 1,000,000,000. Time generations, or 3,000,000,000 p-Si awav in eacli century. Fortv centur ies, therefore, consigned 120,000,000, 000 of men to eternal fire, and, for all that is known, thev are there now. In the 1,900 years which have elapsed sinco tho birth of Christ 57,000,000,000 , of human beings have lived and died If all the Christians, nominal and real, who have ever lived on tho face of the earth have been saved thev would not number more than IS.000,000,000. Now, if the latter number is deducted from the grand total of 177,000,000,- 000, there is found 159,000,000,000 souls who are suffering the torments of boll firo against the 18,000,000,000 who have escaped. But this is not the whole truth. Nobody believes that more tlian 10 per cent of the pro fessed Christians are saved. Calvin ists themselves say the elect are few. If that is a fact heaven contains but 1,8 00,000,000, against a population in hell of 175,000,000,000. Exchange.
