snma FaIaehoods Ahout silver.

In his weekly article in the New York
sun Matthew Marshall points out some
of the falsehoods which the silverites
persist in reiterating. If the sIverites
are sincere it % strange they do not aban-
don them. For instance. they insist that
the intrinsic value of silver has not
fallen. but that gold has risen. They
have not, however. single fact TO show
that such is the case. On the other hand,
it is beyond dispute that the production
Of silver has increased enormously within
the past few years, and it is a fact that
will not be disputed that the Overproduc-
tiOn of any article causes a decline 10 its
price. There has been a great overpro-
duction in silver. and consequently the
value of it has fallen.
An argument that has been made TO the
wheat farmers, and one that has in
tiuenced many Of them to demand the free
coinage of silver, is that the price of
wheat has fallen in proportion TO the fall
in the price of silver. 1t is asserted that
almost from time immemorial an ounce of
silver has been of about the same value
as bushel of wheat.
This statement is not true. A COMPARE
son of the prices of silver with those of
wheat for many years will show it is not.
In 1850 the price Of a bushel of wheat was
81 %, and the price of an ounce of silver
was s1.14l%. Five years afterward, in
1885, the price of bushel of wheat was
Sc cents, and the price of an ounce of sill
yer was S1.O6Is The fall in the price of
bushel of wheat in that time was 39cents,
while the fal! in an ounce of silver was
only S cents. If the silverites are right
why was it that the price of bushel Of
wheat declined so very much more than
the price of an ounce of silver, They can
not answer that question on their theory
of silver, and do not attempt to do so.
The truth is that the production of
wheat was steadily increasing from 1880
to 1885, while the great Increase in the
production of silver only began about, or
a little before, 1855. Our wheat supply
has been increasing enormously. In 1889
our exports of wheat to England amounted
to only about 81, 900 600 bushels, or about
one-quarter of her whole imports. Last
year our exports of wheat to
the British market amounted to
about one-half of her whole re
ceipts. Does not this explain why the
price of wheat is low? We have simply
sent more wheat to England than Eng
land needed, and consequently the price
has fallen, We broke down the market
by producing more than there has been a
demand for.
But if the low price of silver has
broughtabout the low price of wheat, why
is it that it has not had the same effect
upon the price of CORN Corn is selling
for about what it did ten years ago, and
for more than it did eight years ago
Why is this? 1t is simply because there
has been falling off in the amount of
surplus corn produced. There has not
been overproduction in that article, and
consequently, there has not been a de-
cline in the price of it.
Overproduction is the cause of the low
price of wheat, of cotton and silver.
That this is true it is easy to show.

Two brothers are reported to be MAX
ing "a novel experiment" in farming at
Sycamore, Ala. They are operating on a
5, 000-acre tract of land, and employ
ninety-five white men, and not a negro
They raise all the food crops necessary
for the people and stock in their little
community, and all the meat they need,
but cotton is their principal crop. But
they do not ship their cotton crop to
northern markets to be worked up in
eastern mills. A mill on the plantation
manufactures the cotton into yarns, and
another mill grinds the seed into OIL. :"
The experiment, therefore, is a very far
reaching one, and the chances are it will
make the two brothers rich, if they are
good managers. And it NAV induce other
southern farmers to remodel their system
of farming into something better than
they follow now. With better farmers
and more farmers the south would soon
be beyond the reach of hard times"

The State Agricultural Department.

The State Agricultural Department.
Hon. Martin V. Calvin, who wants the
democratic nomination for commissioner
of agriculture, is out in an article ad-
dressed to the people of the state, IN
which he finds fault with the present
management of the agricultural depart
ment. A strong point he makes is that the
money at the disposal of the commissioner
of agriculture is not used to the best ad-
vantage-that it is not so used as to give
home-seekers a knowledge of the soil,
climate and resources of the State. He
points out that the statistics furnished by
the agricultural department at Washing
ton are erroneous so far as Georgia is con
cerned, and that they are calculated to
keep home-seekers away from the state
rather than attract them. He is of the
opinion that the state agricultural depart
ment ought to furnish correct in
formation relative to the products
and productiveness of Georgia so as
to counteract the unfavorable impression
caused by the information sent out by the
agricultural department at Washington.
He says that the commissioner of agri-
CNllbulO has uSNOI hOlO d bllIllB W ulSDIONe
the figures of the national department
According TO his view, the Georgia de
partment is not administered in accord
ance with the letter and spirit of the law
governing the department.
There has been some complaint to the
effect that information relative to crops
and other matters connected with agri-
culture is not always obtainable from the
department. The reason of this may be
that there is no'fund,for the collection of
such information. If there is not there
certainly ought to be. The agricultural
department is very important one, and
it ought not to be stinted in the
matter of money. There ought to be on
hand at all times the most complete in
formation possible about every agricul-
tural interest Such information is called
for frequently, and those who call for it
are apt to think the department is not
what it should be if they don't get il.
There is no doubt that the department
can be made of great benefit to the farm
ers as well as powerful agency in at
tracing home seekers to the state We
! do not undertake to say that it falls short
of what is expected of it, because we have
not the data upon which to base an opin-
ion, but if what Mr.. Calvin says is cor
rect, there is great room for improvement
( in IT.

Reports from New Orleans show an I'M
usual mortality among the negroes of
that city. During the last month the
rate of mortality among them was nearly
double that of the whites, averaging
1898 per 1000 For the week ending
April 30 it was SO OF, for the week ending
May it was 41.29, and for the week end
ing May 26 it was LOO This is NOR
tally rate almost equal to that of an
epidemic During the same period the
rate among the whites was below rather
than above the normal.

The Southern Interstate Immigra-
ton and Industrial Convention,
which is to begin in Augusta
to-day. will be characterized by an
attendance of leading men from all sec
tons of the south, and should he produc.
tive of valuable results. 1t is expected
that the, governors and secretaries of
agriculture of not less than fifteen states
will be present, besides representatives
from nearly every congressional district
in the south, including leading farmers,
merchants, mechanics, railroad men,
bankers and members of congress. The
object of the meeting is not only to discuss
but to iuaugurate practical plans for at
tracing immigration and capital to the
south. Heretofore most immigration
conventions have lett off their efforts with
the ending of their discussions. In the
present instance it is proposed that when
the speechmaking has been concluded the
actual work shall be taken up and prose
cuted vigorously. With co-opera ton be-
tween the people in attendance upon the
convention and the landowners and rail
roads throughout the south, there is no
good reason why good and lasting effects
should not result from the Augusta meet

Half a dozen times since the Georgia
counties began the selection of delegates
TO the state convention there have been
reports of practical unanimity, on one
side or the other, at the mass meetings
While the votes may have been correctly
counted, there is room for doubt that
public opinion in any county in the state
is practically unanimous for either of the
avowed candidates for governor. And
when votes of 20 to l, or about that pro-
portion, are announced, it is apt to create
the impression that there has been some
sharp wire pulling to accomplish the re-
sult

Mrs. Kelley, the motherof the common
veal crank of that name who is leading
band Of Coxeyites through Illinois,
arrived at Quincy a day or two ago on the
trail of her son. She says she means to
take him away from the army" and
carry him back home with her, and adds
that if his wife had any 'gumption" she
would tie string to him and keep him
from roaming around the country. Mrs
Kelley is 50 years old, large and robust,
and is said to be able physically to spank
the warlike commonwealth" if that
should be necessary to take the nonsense
out of him.

Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf, pastor of the
Synagogue Keneseth Israel, at Philadel-
phia, announces it as his purpose to go to
Russia, break through whatever barriers
may be in the way and make a personal
appeal to the car on behalf of the He
brews in Russia. He does not propose to
use force, as a matter of course, but hopes
to reach the car through his American
citizenship and the treaties between Rus
STA and the United States. Rev. r. H.
Conway, a Baptist minister who is coop
Grating with Rabbi Krauskopf, is booked
to sail for Europe to-day to further their
plans. Rabbits Wise and Gottheil, leaders
among their people, do not believe Rabbi
Krauskopf's mission can accomplish any
good purpose. They say it is very doubt
full if he can arrange to see the car; but
if he could there is little reason to believe
he could accomplish with pleading what

There seems to be some doubt whether
a real duel, with swords, seconds and a
bloody ending, was fought in Boston on
Saturday night, or whether the encounter
was a fake, with bogus arms and bottle
of red ink as coucomitants. That a set-to
of some kind occurred between lawyer
and an editor at the place and time men
toned is vouched for in several press
dispatches, but there is a diversity of
opinion as to its genuineness However,
there is this much to be said: If the
fight was real, 1t would show that the
arena Of such encounters has been trans
ferred from the south to the north; if it
was fake it would show that Boston
raises simpletous as well as scholars.
