CASH PR CAPITA.
Some Treasury Statements
that Will Cause Comment.
MONEY IS GROWING PLENTIFUL.
The Circulation Has More Than Kept
Pace with the Growth in Population
Since the war--Thfra Party Men iu
Convention.

: WASHINGTON. Aug. g. Statements
have been prepared at the treasury de-
partment showing the amount of mon
ey in circulation on the first day of July
of the years 1860, 1865, 1885, 1889, and
1901, from which it is apparent that the
assertions so often repeated of late, that
there has been since the war great re-
duction Of the amount Of money in cir.
culation, are entirely without founda-
ton. All the statements furnished are
made upon precisely the same basis.
The amount of each kind of money in
the country is first stated, from that is
deducted the amount in the treasury,
and the remainder is given as the
amount IN circulation. There is moth
ing omitted from the statement which
should appear there except minor coins
(nickels and pennies) and they are left
out of all the reports because of the diff.
Guilty in estimating the amount of them
in use. AS the amount at the present
time is certainly greater than the earlier
vorably criticised by those who contend
>
To state all the facts in
few words, the amount Of
money in circulation in 1860 was about
$435, 100000 and the amount per capita
was $13.S5. In 1865 there was S723,-
100000 in circulation and the per capita
amount was $20.82. Twenty years
later the circulation was over 81 ,232,
1000 and the per capita was $23 d2,
while on the 1st of January last the
amount was nearly 1888, 900, 900 with
$24. 10 as the per capita allowance, the
highest in the history of the United
foreign countries there has b been ma a de, e.
cline since Jan. 1, 1891, not only in the
per capita amount, but in the total also;
but the total circulation on the lst inst
notwithstanding the outflow of gold,
was about 81, 500, 900, 900 and the amount
per capita was $2337.

specially strong and interesting, and ex-
cited general attention all over the state.
National President Polk was present and
addressed the meeting. He spoke par
ticularly of the subtreasury plan, mas
much as it has been brought specially to
the front by anti-Alliance influence and
discussion. Near the close Of his address
the delegates to the convention were
asked to express themselves, and they
voted solidly for: Abolition of national
banks; issuance of money direct to the
people at a low rate Of interest, and the
strict prohibition of gambling in farm
products. With reference to this matter
the partisan papers were full of misstate-
inents. Their abuse and misrepresenta-
tion of President Stokes was violent.
DR.. Stokes was reelected president Of
the state Alliance, as were all the old
officers, except one, by acclamation. All
the officers were earnest and strenuous
supporters of the Ocala platform i'll its
entirety, and their unanimous re-elec-
tion shows the South Carolina Alliance
to be solid for all the Alliance demands.
The meeting was enthusiastic through
out the entire session and vigorously ap-
proved the proposition to raise a propa
ganda fund. A collection was taken
amounting to over $3.50. Congressman
E. 7. Stackhouse gave his check for fifty
dollars
The feature of Fridays session was the
much talked Of debate on the subtreas-
ury plan between Governor Tillman, of
South Carolina, and Hon. Ben Terrill, of
Texas. 1t was first announced that this
debate would be open to the public, but
inasmuch as it was to be between two
members of the Alliance, President
Stokes decided that it ought to be con-
Quoted within the Alliance hall and only
before Alliance members. Had one of
the debaters been non-Alliance man
the debate would have been public. The
best Alliance speakers will meet any
non-Alliance man at any possible time
in public discussion.
The debate between the two Alliance
men was mastery and thrillingly inter
esting. The same day the following
telegram was received by the Reform
Press bureau:
sPAKrANBURG. s. c., July "a. 1891.
H. W. Aver:
The great debate between Tillman and Ter
rell is just closed. 1t is indeed Waterloo.
Tho Texan lassoed tho South Carolnian at
every turn. The utmost harmony prevailed.
The Ocala platform was intlorsed by unani-
nous vote, as were alse President Stokes, State
Lecturer Talbert and The Cotton Plant, tho
state Alliance organ, all of whom are solid
| unit on the Ocale platform in whole. Governor
Tillman asked az the concl usion of the debate
tional slbtreasuries." I" 1t was the finest effort
OF Terreil's life. The Alliance men are all
happy. w. g. WOLFE

SUGAR stEN AT WAR.
Granulated Selling at a Lower Price This,

Granulated Selling at a Lower Price Than
Ever Before Reached.
New YORK, Aug. GA bitter fight
has been begun by the sugar trust
against Claus Spreckels, who has been a
thorn in the side of the sugar refners on
this coast for many years. About ten
days ago the president Of the sugar
trust was called away from the city by
the ultimately fatal illness of his father,
F. G. Havemeyer. While he was away
the sugar trust maintained its price for
granulated sugar, but Claus Spreckels,
who had been keeping his rates up to
those charged by the trust, at once an
nounced a reduction of 1-16c per pound.
He cut seriously into the trade of the
sugar trust, but no action to meet the
cut was taken, as it was believed that
as soon as Spreckels' supply was placed
he would retire from the market. He
kept on filling orders, however, and
practically supplied all demands. Mon
day President Havemeyer returned, and
at once ordered the sugar trust price for
granulated sugar reduced to 1-Sc per
pound, or 1-16c below the cut made by
Spreckels. The latter has made another
reduction, bringing his price 1-16c below
that of the trust. The reduction may
bring the price of granu1ated sugar
down to DC per pound in Philadelphia,
on which 2 per cent. is allowed off,
making the net cash price 92- lOOc, the
lowest on record The price named by
the sugar trust is 1 1-16c, In August 1880.
after the formation of the trust, sugar
sold for 8 34c. A curious feature of
the fight is that in the raw sugar market
both parties are urgent buyers and the
sugar trust yesterday bought raw sugar
at 5-l6c. This brings the profit of re-,
timing down to very low point
Important Wool Decision.
New YORK, Aug. 6.-The board of
general appraisers rendered an i'm
portant decision on wool. In March
last, at the instance of wool growers
the treasury department ordered lm-
ported wool that had been separated as
to color, to be classed as sorted" which
brought it under the "wool sorting'
clause of paragraph 3s3, section K, Of
the new tariff and subjected it to "twice
the duty to which it would be otherwise
subject" The board held that separ-
ating the colors did not constitute such
sorting
