THE CAPITALS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE
DO NOT TALLY

DO NOT TALLY a
The Capital IN its editorial columns
continues to tell it's readers how solid
the Democratic party remains in the
south, and how Intellectual are the
efforts Of Peoples party speakers to
create any interest in the new party,
while It's dispatches in the same issue
tell 'of the outspoken Peoples party
speeches, and the enthusiasm they
awaken among the people. AS an
illustration we quote from the dis
patches in the issue OF July 70 as fol-
lows:
ST. LOUIS, July 2S.-The Farmers Alliance
and the knights OF Labor Of the Third and
Fourth Congressional districts Of Texas are hold
Ing an encampment at Sulphur Springs and will
continue for week.
Among the prominent persons present are
Senator PETER Of Kansas, and Mr.. Powers, presl-
dent Of the Indiana Alliance
The speeches so far have all been In favor OF
the Peoples party movement, and some OF them
OF quite an Incorporate character. For example,
Lee n. Hood, OF Van Zant county, predicted
revolution In the event that relief fails through
the ballot, and said that John Brown succeeded
Lloyd Garrison, and that the people intend to
break the rule Of putOcracy peaceably II they
can, but forclbly II they must.
President Powers Of Indiana, said he had
looked across gun barrel at the south many
years ago, but he was here now to take them by
the hand In fight to the death against the two
old parties, who were two old dogs tr0tting In the
same path. There has been bloody chasm
between the north and the south for twenty-five
years, but the people would fill the chasm with
the dead politicians, wipe out monopoly and
plutOCracy and restore the government to the
people. The exception written across green
back he held In his hand had destroyed the
sovereignty Of the people, and the evils were ag-
gravated when the exception was made against
the silver dollar He held map In his hand
illustrating the national banks, In which the
people cOnld not approach the treasury, but
showing banker in 1886 receiving $6O,OOO,OOO
from the treasury hopper A map with Seesaw
on the backs OF two farmers on all fOurS and
republican and democrat on either end, and still
another map representing the farmers as re-
Yersing the operation, Every slur on the De-
mOcracy was cheered, and no sympathy was
manifested over his structures on ingalls,, Sher-
man and the Republican party.

THE MONEY IN CIRCULATION-A REPLY
TO THE CAPITAL.

peka Capital, seemingly seized with q
spaSmodlc attack of argumentive fervor,
or else suffering from temporary stroke
Of mental alteration, 80 far forgot itself
as to deign to notice Senator PETER and
his sway Out" with show of logical
argument. Indeed, 1t may be conceded
that the Capital has made q very fair
and presentable showing with the only
material it and other journals of its ilk
have at command. i. g., asertions, mere
assertions, unsupported by fact or argu-
ment.
The Capital commences by giving
Senator PETER and his sway Out" credit
for having had "mOre to do with the
great political cyclone which swept over
Kansas last November than any other
single agency" Did it ever occur to the
Capital that ground, in order to produce
bOuntiful crop, must be more or less
carefully prepared for the reception of
seed? Is it not probable that the Kan
sas farmer, trained In the dear and bitter
schools of adversely and experience, and
goaded by sore necessity, may have been
surreptitiouSly studying for himself the
subtle intricacleS of the financial ques-
ton, while pretending to be giving close
heed to his tariff lesson and watching the
undulating wavings of the ensanguined
garment?
And is it not possible that the Senator
may have builded much better than the
Capital is aware of? The Capital would
doubtless be surprised to know that not
thousands merely, but hundreds of thou
sands Of earnest, sincere and thoughtful
men are enthusiastically in favor Of the
utter demolition Of the present banking
system and monetary establishment, and
erecting upon Its ruins a monetary and
banking system that shall in fact, as well
as in name, be national-of, by and for
the people.
The Capital is indeed magnanimous
and kind, In feeling inclined to have "lit-
tie or nothing to say" of Judge PETERS
estimate OF Kansas farm mortgages,
which was put in the SWAY Out" at $685.
100000. Perhaps the Capital has never
heard of the advance census bulletin,
which puts the estimate at $16O,0OO,OOO.
Even the latter figure was too low an es-
innate by $40,OOO,OOO at the time the
"Way Out" was written. Since then,
however, the sheriff has kindly released
a vast number Of mortgages.
The Capital says that the Senator
"agrees with Fl. A. Dunning, late associ-
ate editor of Folks Washington organ,
that the currency in actual circulation
per capita in 1866 was $52.01." Pre-
sumably N. A. Denning, associate editor
Of the national organ Of the F. A. & /.
u, the National EcOnOmist.) The Cap
itaI states that the Senator, "to obtain
these figures, went to the report of the
secretary of the treasury, which distinctly
states that the actual circulation In
that year was $235O per capita"
II this be true, then the secre-
tary leaned just as much too far one way
in 1886, as he now, in 1891, leans the
other way. Pursuing Its argument, the
Capital coolly epitomizes the greatest
crime and most gigantic fraud of the
The advocate., 1891-08-05

All these different Glasses of notes, certif-
Gates, etc., amounting to 81, $50, ,5O6, $40, were
used as currency" National bank circu-
lation, June 30, 1866, was $281, ,419,9O8. Add
this to the other and we have q total active
currency" circulation at that time of
81, ,S31, ,926. 24S, which, estimating the popu-
lation at 35,OOOOOO, gives a per capita circu-
lation of $52.
Let us see about that phrase, "in the
form of notes." In the first place the item
"United States notes"means greenbacks-
$400, ,891 1888. We will first notice just
what must have been used as money In
order to give the amount the secretary
conceded to be In circulation:
Temporary loan (ten days notice. .SI2O,176,1 1866
CertllcateS OF lndeDCedneSS. 26 391 600

Gold cerc1cateS .....,............... 10,713,2l0
National bank circulation. ......... 28l,4l9,9O8
SS66662,55S
Putting the population at 35,000,0OO,
the above would show per capita circu-
lation of $24.76.
But Senator PETER is too liberal, far
too liberal in making q population of
35,0OO,0O0 the basis of his argument.
The population north of Mason's
and Dixon's line was 25,OOO,OOO;
and as hardly a single dollar
of the above named money was in the
south on June 30, 1865, the per capita
circulation in the northern states was In
reality $3466, assuming that the items,
compound interest notes" and 7-3O
treasury notes" did not really circulate
as money. Now for the facts In the
case.

ton Of the silver dollar and the shrinkage
in value Of so per cent, which has taken
place in farm lands and their products.
It may be well to remind the Capital
that an appreciation in purchasing power
is a depreciation in debt paying power,
and that that is what the people are COM
planning OF.
The Capital then says:
Judge PETER, however, manipulated the
seOretary's report for 1856 30 as to include
in the currency those portions of the public
debt which were in form of notes. We
quote from the Judges statement:

THE FOX SUIT.
Senator Evan Williams on the
Stand.

A San Francisco dispatch of the
oath says.
| w. M. Fox succeeded in eliciting
considerable testimony today in sup
! port of his claim that the Directors
of the Hale and Norcross mine by
conspiracy, have defrauded the
stock holders out Of 81, 100000.
Evan Williams, Superintendent of
the Nevada Mil, testified that by
imperfect milling large percentage
Of bullion in the Hale & Norcross
ores, was carried into the tailings and
shines, which We're worked over for
the benefit Of the mill company.
Witness admitted having testified
in a deposition that S14, $50 had
been realized from working over
Hale & Norcross ores. Between the
latter part of 1889 and July, 1890,
the mill company crushed %, go
tons of Hale & Norcross ore at 81 a
ton.
During the examination of Mr..
Williams, council for the plaintiff in
PRODUCED in evidence a photograph,
representing a workman of the Ne
ada mill, with large dlpper scoop
ing out of the sand Vat, rich tailings
from the Hale & Norcross ore, and
dropping them into "a hole in the
milf to be worked over for the benz
fit of the mill directors
Tie man with the dipper" was
identified by Mr.. Williams as a
man in his employ at the mill
named Fillion. The dipper itself
WAS admitted to have been used in
the manner andfor the purpose stated.
The final struggle of tho day arose
over the Attorney, Fox, attempting
to introduce in evidecne records of
the United States Mint at Carson
from 1887 to 1890. He urged that
the records would prove conspiracy
and fraud charged against the Hale
x Norcross mine. and also what be-
came of the base bullion unaccounted
for by them to the stockholders.
Attorney Wood in behalf of the
defendants, urged = dozen objections
to the admissions of the records and
Judge Hebbard took the matter ur-
der Amusement.

Poisonous Alfalfa Stubble.

The Wood River, Idaho Times
says: S. NJ. Tucker, a rancher of
Indian Greek, turned his COWS into q
field of alfalfa stubble. \ couple of
hours later on looking across, then
over the field, he was surprised to
find one of his cows dead, and three
others in commissions. As he had
heard that dew on the alfalfa stubble
was poisonous frosty m rnings, before
the sun shown on it, he administered
a mustard antidote, and succeeded IN
saving the three sick cows. The an
tidote which Mr.. Tucker gave to the
three sick COWS which were poisoned
by feeding on alfalfa stubble, was
composed of can of mustard and a
package of saleratus. 1t saved the
cows. Renchers should make a note
of this antidote.
