The Farmers Are All Right.

1t has been q constant aim and
ever present desire with THE
ARGUS to inculcate the principle
Of diversified crops among the
FARMERS of its section-in the
territory of its circulation. For
ten years we have preached this
doctrine from week to week, and
Judging from the current condi-
ton of the main body of the farm
ers hereabouts, it would seem
that, at length, they had conned
the lesson we'll, and it rs with
pride and satisfaction that we
note the cheering fact.
Yes, whatever may be the oc-
casion-if there be occasion-for
the cry of dull times; whatever
the times, circumstances and
1.-The price of cotton" may de-
mand of the farmers, a careful
enquiry and reliable information
reveals the cheering fact that
the. farmers Of our section have
produced sufficient meat and meal
for this year to keep hunger
from our land, thank God, and
plenty to sustain the farmer
while he labors in the field for
the production of another crop.
At the prevailing low price Of
cotton, and the overproduction Of
the feecy staple, there is no rea-
son why it should longer be-and
it is not-kingo of the South. The
revolution has set in. Diversified
crops are the order of the day.
The smoke houses of our section
are no longer filled from the
West.
Our people realize now the du-
ty of raising their own supplies
the necessities of life, and
when all arrangements for this
are done, then they can give
their surplus time and spare land
to the crops that will bring them
in what little of money they may
need for incidentals, be that crop
cotton or anything else.

HERE IS RECORD.

All newspaper readers of adult
years who have kept abreast OF
current news and comment, have
read a great deal about the deb
tor sections Of the country.
New York is considered the
creditor section,' and Wall
street" has passed into a proverb
as being the money centre Of the
nation: but, in fact, New York is,
to-day, the greatest debtor sec
ton of the Union.
Formerly the South was con-
sidered-and doubtless was-the
great debtor section" But to-
day she is less in debt than any
other section of the country, and
withstood the recent panic with
more unfiagging heroism and
come out in ''better shape" than
the North, West or East.
And that such is her record
will not be lost sight of, nor left
unimproved by sagacious pros
pectors both in this country and
abroad, who are seeking inviting
fields for investment.
''Facts are stubborn things"
and however much ostentation
may be maintained by the so
called ''monied centres" when
we come down to a careful in
vestigation and comparison of
the records the facts are all in
favor of the South.
The statistics of the real estate
mortgages of the country, rec
emily published, are interesting
as an indication of the indebted
ness Of the people of ,he differ
ent States; and while they do. not
show the condition Of the people
with absoluteexactness-for they
do not include chattle mortgages
or debts not secured by mort
gage-they are, nevertheless, a
pretty safe pointer as to existing
financial conditions.
The average real estate mort
gage Indebtedness of the South
ern States is S31.31 per capita,
The average in the balance Of the
Union is over four times as high,
being S131.54 per capita. The
lowest per capita of real estate
mortgagesis found inSouthCaro-
lima, where it is only S11.97. The
highest is in New York, where
it reaches S268.06 per capita,
New York owes over one-fourth
Of the entire real estate mort
gage Indebtedness of the coun-
try.
With such a record as this the
South can look the future proud
ly in the face ana hope for
Astounding progress and perman-
ent prosperity.

the highest, and silver was driv-
en- from circulation by the cheap
ness of the yellow metal, econo-
mists began to inquire what steps
should be taken to prevent the
further depreciation Of gold.
Yet now, when even the produc-
ton of that period is exceeded,
and when thevalue of the annual
product Ct gold alone is almost
equal to that of the product of
both precious metals before the
depreciation of silver began, ''all
the economic ills from which the
commercial, agricultural and in
dustrial world is suffering are
ascribed to the scarcity Of gold"
The facts amply refute such a
fallacy. AS Mr.. Preston peril
nently asks: IF there is a scare
ity of gold now, when was there
plenty of it?"

Public Opinion.
Editor argus:

Editor Argus:
DEAR SIR:-Your editorial in
to-day's issue of THE ARGUS
in relation to the play "Uncle
Toms Cabin" billed for Saturday
night at the Gopera house, is
timely and to the point and must
be respected and appreciated by
all good citizens. When reading
the article I had no conception
Of the character of pictures that
were to be displayed on our
streets. Now that they are up
for tie public to gaze upon, L
have seen them and am shocked
and feel incensed-as many citi-
zens do. Such pictures, designed
to arouse all the worst passions
and prejudices Of a large num-
Der of our population, should not
be permitted, especially at this
particular time, to be exhibited
70 the gaze of the public, and the
play to follow, Uncle Toms
Cabin" if characterized correctly
by the pictures, should surely be
suppressed and not permitted
within the corporate limits of
our city. It is to be hoped, and
it is earnestly desired, that our
city officials will consider the
subject, and, to avoid future evil
results to community and
for the peace and comfort of our
families Individually and col
lectively, take such action as
in their Judgment is right and
proper to forbid the play at the
opera house Saturday night,
and to have the peace-disturb-
ing pictures, representing the
play, Immediately removed from
the walls on which they are
placed and forbid the restoration
of them. And request the man
ager Of the opera house to cancel
contract with the company con-
Quoting the play, which can pro
duce no good, but possibly very
serious injury to our commun-
ity. Now is the time to act and
check any evil effects of the objec-
tionable, degraded and peace-dis-
turbing play, Uncle Toms
Cabin"
In thus expressing myself on
Che subject, | express the true
feeling Of many Of our best and
most law-abiding citizen.

THERE is PLENTY OF GOLD:,

Mr.. Preston, Director Of the
u. S. Mint, has an article in the
North american ReUieaO this month
that must be somewhat discon-
certing to the Populists %and"those
calamity howlers generally who
maintain that the prevailing low
prices are due to a diminished
supply of gold and its consequent
appreciation IN value.
Even by the Populists, who
delight to cry "Gold bug"-and
Gold standard" Mr.. Preston's
statistics are accepted as author
ity, and they cannot, therefore,,be
questioned that, ''the production
of gold was never so rapid as it
is to-day"
Mr. Preston quotes from his
official report of last year, in
which it was stated that the
worlds output Of gold in 1898
was the largest in history,
amounting to 7,523.277 fine ounc-
es, of the value of 1855, 522, 900,
and great as that was, the out
put of 1891 will exceed it, the
United States alone adding more
than 90 per cent. to their gold
product. The highest previous
yield of gold was in the period
from 1856 to 1860, when the pro-
duction reached an average an
nual value of S163, go, 900. The
output of gold in 1893 was thus
Is per cent. greater than the an
nual average of the period of the
greatest productiveness of tie
California and Australian mines.
Furthermore, the value of the
gold product of the world in 1888
was only 8.7z per cent. less than
the average aggregate value OF
the worlds product of both gold
and silver from 1861 to 1865.
In the period from 1856 to 1860,
when the yield of the Califor-
MIA and Australian mines was al
