The grain crops in the United States
are said to be the best and largest this
year ever produced. The Manutac-
turers' Record in recent issue estl-
mates them and the figures may he Of
interest. The Record says:
The yields Will probably be about
5SO,000,O00 bushels Of wheat, 2,OOO,OOo,-
900 bushels>of corn, between 600, ,OO,OOO
and 700,010000 bushels OF oats ana
over 1O0, 100000 bushels OF other grams,
making an aggregate OF about 3,3UO,.
100000 bushels, or about l,OOO, ,OoO:oOO
bushels more than in 1890. This in
crease of 1,0O0,000,000 bushels is equal
to 100000 carloads of 10000 pounds
each. Nearly all other crops promise
the same abundant yield, rice, sugar,
tobacco, fruits, grasses, etc, al! addlng
immensely to the profits Of farmers:
Cotton alone of all the big crops Will
fall short of 1899, but this will be an
advantage, as the yield of last year was
too large for the demand.
And the big grain crop this year will
not put the prices down, for the crops
in Europe are very short and our grain
will be in great demand. The ap-
parent deficit in Europe to be met
by importation is estimated to be 1885,
100000 bushels.
The estimated requirements OF rye
and wheat for the worlds consumption
are 3,6OO,O0O,0O0 bushels and the total
estimated crop of these two grains for
1891 will aggregate but about 3,ooo,No,-
coo bushels which shows a deficit OF
about G00,00O,000 bushels. 1t must be
remembered that rye constitutes
large per cent Of the bread-making
grains. The American farmer ought
and no doubt will receive good price
for his wheat this season, and as there is
a large crop and he should be happy.
OF the yield of cotton is not so large
the price ought TO be better, as is al
ready indicated and it figures to look
as if there was better time ahead. We
hope so.

We publish this week the letter OF
Senator Butler to DR.. J. w. Stokes,
and the reply of DR.. Stokes. The head
lines are the same as appeared in the
News and Courier. The Herald and
News thinks that the Cotton Plant has
done Senator Butler an injustice in the
construction it placed upon bis debate,
and the reply OF DR.. Stokes does not
give satisfactory explanation Of the
construction placed upon the language
of Senator Butler. But the letters Of
the two gentlemen are published and
the people can form their own opinions.
It is now personal matter between
DR.. Stokes and Senator Butler, and has
nothing to do with the merits of the
discussion.

We cannot see what Mr.. keitt hopes
to gain by abusing The Herald and
News. We try to be fair, aud have
always published about as much for
Mr.. keitt's side as the other, and have
never abused Mr. keitt or any one else.
It is no part of our stock in trade, but
we do not propose that Mr.. Keitt, or
the Cotton Plant, or Economist shall
form our opinions. We have been
wanting information, and have been
ready and willing to give our aid to
any scheme that was fair and just that
would be Of benefit to the farmers.
But we do not see what can be accom-
plished by abuse or Misrepresentation.
Will Mr.. keitt point out when and
where we misrepresented him or the
Alliance?

AUGUSTA, Ga. September 5.-Mr.
Joe Henry Lafayette, a young man
only y wears old, of Newberry, S. c.,
met horrible death here to-day. He
was visiting bis father, Mr.. Joe Lata-
vette, who works in the enterprise
Factory.
Shortly after o'clock this morning
Mr.. Lafayette was sitting in front of
Mr. Patrick O'Callahan's store, on
upper Greene street, talking to Sam
West, when the Port Royal and West
ern Carolina Railroad outgoing morn
ing passenger train shot around the
curve and entered Greene street, bound
for Spartanburg. When Lafayeltesp'ed
the train coming he told West he was
going to get aboard and get morning
paper from the butcher boy.
Within a foot of the track was an
embankment Of gravel four feet hIgh:
Joe got on top Of the embankment ana
when the train came along he threw
out both hands and leaped, with the
intention ofjumping on the train be-
tween the firstand second-cIass coaches:
The Door fellow made misstep and
fell between the cars unnotlced. HIS
coat got caught in the brake rod and
be was dragged sixty feet before he fell
upon the track. The wheels ofthe first
class car> and the sleeper passed over
his body. Lafayette was horribly
mutilated. He was lying on his stomach
with his breast turned up and portions
of his body were scattered along the
track. His head, which was lying on
the rails, was mashed into a jelly: Both
his arms were mangled. End his hands
were cut off at the wrists. The trunk
of his body was cut wide open. 1t was
a dreadful sight, one to excite horror,
but hundreds of men and women gath
cred around the lacerated form and
viewed the remains. The poor fellow
must have suffered thousand deaths
while he was suspended over the
Implying wheels.
Coroner Clark commenced upon an
inuuisition this morning, but VIII not
conclude the investigation until Mon
dav, when the butcher boy on the
train will give his evidence. Lafayette
came here from Newberry, where his
mother lives and where he worked IN
the Newberry Cotton Mills on last
Tuesday. Since his arrival he decided
to remain here and was going to work
in the Siblev Mills Or Monday.

was :23.O2 On the lst OF january,
1891. our actual circulation was about
81 ,j29, ,0G0, 600, and the amount per
capita $24.l0, that is, as officially stated,
the highest per capita circulation IN the
history Of the country. Since then the
circulation has been somewhat reduced
by the shipment to Europe OF over
$4,000, 600 gold during the spring and
early summer. But there are already
indications Of the return Of this gold III
exchange for our grain, and as we have
seen above, the circulation is again IN
creasing. Seeing, then, that our per
capita circulation is larger than ever
before in our history, and greater than
that of any other leading nation, with
perhaps single exception, as | propose
to show at an early day, we are forced,
it seems to me, to one of three conciu-
sions: Either our circulation has always
been too small, and we have had our
marvellous prosperity as a nation and
as people for over Il hundred years
with too little currency. Or we need
more currency per capita now than
heretofore, and if this be the case, we
would like for some Of our Alliance
wiseacres to explain the reason why.
Or it is a mistake to suppose that
scarcity of currency is at all the cause
of our woes. Which Of these three
conclusions is the most plausible?
CIvIS.
p. S.-Since writing the foregoing |
have received from the Treasury De
partment the promised circular, en-
titled, 1.-THE Volume of Money in Circu-
lation," in which is closely set forth,

the United States. End. The amount

in actual circulation, as well as the per
capita circulation on July lst of every

formation, and that every person inter-
eeted in knowing the truth on the sub
lect cut it out and preserve it. For

MONEY IN CIRCULATION.
Showing How the per Capita Has Steadily
Increased Since 1860,

WASHINGTON, September 4.-Ihe
Secretary of the Treasury has prepared
a pamphlet in regard to the volume Of
money in circulation, as telegraphed to
The News and Courier to day. 1t shows
that the amount in circulation July l,
1865, was STA, 702,995. Of this amount
1853, 702,995 was paper money. During
the calendar year 1865 the average
market price of gold was Isl. So it
required Sl57 in currency to purchase
as much of any commodity as could be
purchased with 500 in gold. The
STA, 7O2,995 then in circulation was,
therefore, equivalent as an average for
the year to only S646, ,30l ,27O of the
money which has constituted the cur
rency of this country since January !,
1879. This was an amount per capita OF
Sl3.36.

her gold with which to purchase

expected the day to come in South

to express his opinion on any measure
without first consulting the bosses. He

Senator Butler said that he branded
as a liar any man who said that he
said in his speech at Prosperity that
forty thousand farmers in South Caro-
lima were thieves and scoundrels. Any
man who said that he said that those
who wanted to borrow at . per cent
did not intend to pay back. is guilty of
base falsehoOd and misrepresentation.
Senator Butler said he had lived too
long to pander to whims of demagogues
charlatans, and would not surrender
the expression Of his opinion for any
office within the gift Of the people. He
believed the people would do him JUS
tice to say that when his services were

and still he was not able to see what
that plan was. In every case, but
my friends, money was disbursed for
the people through banks, and not di-

Senator Butler advocated the estab-

He defended his course in abiding
by the mandates of the constitution
and thought it was more of a liv-
ing issue to-day than ever before. He
thought that the policy pursued by his
friend would lead to the establishment
OF third party and made the issue
that if Mr.. Watson did not approve of
the third partyiSm that Mr. Wat

crease in the tariff on cotton ties would
make an increase in the tax on the peo-
pie of about twenty-five cents on every
bale of cotton, which was big thing

A recess was then taken.

it three moons hereafter. Prof Virgins,
weather prophet, astronomer, etc., claims
to be convinced of the presence in our
heavens of second moon, which, invisible
to us, or in permanent eclipse, is still a
satellite of our earth. L would be sorry to
say anything that would offend Mr.. Wig
gins: still more so, if l should reject any
theory OF his that would afterward prove to
be correct, but it is almost impossible to re-
frain from remarking, anent his recently
expressed utterances on scientific matters
in general. that he is living away behind
the age. If he could have his earthly e1-
istence transported back to period
previous to the time of-say Thales or Hip
psrchus, there is no question that, with the
the knowledge he possesses, he would be a
highly successful practitioner IN the
line of business he now follows. Even in
some of the countries of to-day, where
slight knowledge of astronomical science is
mixed with myth and superstition, he would
be famous individual. The successful
prediction of few celestial or meteorolog-
ical events, would make his fortune for him.
There would be only one objection. The
people of such countries might be apt to
require too much precision in his prognos-
tications. In the event of some of his
phenomena failing to be exactly on time as
promised, they might daily little too
familiarly with his neck. But Mr.. Wig
gins is wise. In this country and Canada
he is comparatively safe. In this respect
we resemble our northern brethren very
much. We are very patient people.
