In estimating the cotton
crop of last year at 5000, 600
bales and the average price at
five cents a pound, and the
crop of the present year at
Y, 900, 900 bales, and the av-
erage price at 8 IL cents, the
increase in price is exactly
equal to the decrease in pro-
duction. 1t is not probable
that last years. crop will
equal 10000, 900 of bales, but
the indications are that the
proceeds of the present crop
will be greater than the total
amount of receipts from the
crop of 1894. II so, it will
be on account ofthe improve
ment in the demand for cot
ton since last years crop was
marketed. That the volume
of the currency does not con-
troll prices is evidenced by
the fact that In 1871. the crop
was 4, 1852, 317, and the aver
age price was S.55, while the
circulation per capita was on
ly $3.50. In 1874, the year
after silver is said to have
been demonitized, the crop
was 10, 388 bales and the av-
erage price was 8. SO, the circu-
lating per capita being $18. Is,
while in 1894, the crop will
probably be about $500, 900
the average price about five
cents and the circulation pei
capita about $500. If the
volume of the currency con-
trolls prices, cotton would
have been worth almost &c
per cent more in 1894 than in
1874 instead Of 20 per cent
less. When the total pro-
duction of any crop is no
equal to the demand, the
price is invariably more thar
when there is a surplus
: therefore supply and demand

delivered speech on s'sound cur
rency" in Boston, Mass, Oct. 18th,
at banquet given by the Boston
Reform Club. His speech has at
tracted worldwide attention. He
said: GA deprecated and fuctua-
ting currency destroys credit and
thus robs the people of one of their
most valuable means of carrying on
business. A mere apprehension
that our currency might be debased
I by the inability of the government
to continue the policy of redeeming
it's obligations in gold has already
produced one of the greatest fnan-
cial disturbances that has ever oc-
Cured in our history. Fortunately
one of the causes which contributed
largely to produce a feeling of dis
trust, has substantially ceased to
exert any influence over the minds
of the people here or abroad. l
mean the persistent and aggressive
agitation in favor of the free coin
age of silver. The free coinage
movement has lost its momentum,
and is no longer formidable or ag-
gressive. 1t is on the defensive
now, and when revolutionary
movement is compelled to halt and
defend itself, the end is not far off.
No well informed man now believes
that our standard of value will be
changed, or that the financial policy
which has been steadily persued by
the present administration will be
abandoned. But, we must not as
sumo that the abandonment of the
free silver movement will alone be
sufficient TO insure permanent finan-
cial peace. There should be a
change in our financial Legislation.
The Treasury ought not to be re-
quired to provide and hold re.
serve for the redemption of circu
lating notes, or if it is required to
do so, the notes ought to be retired
and cancelled when redeemed, or il
other words the debt when PAID
ought to be extinguished, The
government of the United State.
ought not to be engaged in the bus
mess of issuing notes to circulate az
money. However, the executive
authorities must obey the laws al
they stand, whether good or bad
and all the powers conferred upo1
them by the statutes will be faith
fully and fearlessly exercised when
ever necessary for the preservation
of the public credit and the main
tenance of a sound and stable cur
rency. If our financial and curren
cy system is such that these results
cannot be accomplished without in
creasing the public debt, let thu
system be changed, but do not crit
icise the administrator for obeyine
the law"

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Just after the battle of Perry
vile, in October, 1862, DR.. Savage,
a strong Union man, was at one of
his appointments to baptize some
children. There was a large crowd
and southern matron brought her
four children to the altar.
EName this child, said the
Union preacher, laying his hand OH
the child's head.
''Simon Bolivar Buckner," was
the reply, which caused a smile to
come over the congregation, but the
brave preacher went on with his
duty.
''Name this child" taking the
next in order,
"Pierre Gustav Toutant Beaure-
gard" and the smile grew into a
smoker, while DIR. Savage grew red
in the face. He baptized the young
namesake of the engineer soldier
and went on with the ceremony.
"Name this child" he gasped,
reaching for the third.
"Albert Sidney Johnson" came
the answer.
The smile became audible. Heav-
ing a sigh of relief, he took the
fourth, girl, whose gender he sup
posed would preclude continue
ton of heroic reproductions, and
said:
"Name this child"
"Mary Stonewall Jackson Lee"
came the response that set the con-
gregation into roar, while theUnion
parson thought he had held in his
arms the whole Southern Confedera-
cv.-TroY Times.

THE Farmers

THE Farmers National
Congress while in session at
Atlanta on the 14th of this
month adopted the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That the Farmers Ma
tional Congress is in favor of the
equal use of both gold and silver
coin as money and equally as stan
dards of value, and to secure the OBJ
ject we favor:
A conference to be called by
the United States of those nations
ready to accept bimetallism with
the unlimited coinage of both gold
and silver, at ratio to be agreed
upon.
?. A law requiring duties on
commodities, the product of or inn
ported from mono-gold nations to
be paid in foreign gold coin.
3. A law requiring duties on sill
yer imported from gold nations and
denying its coinage privileges at
our mines.
1t will be noticed by the
observant reader that the SEN
timents expressed by that
congress are utterly at vari-
ance with those promulga-
ted by many of the free coin
age advocates. 1t is evident
that the 16 to l theory, indie
pendent of other nations, did
not find favor with the Far
mers' National Congress.
While favoring gold and sill
yer as the standard, it will be
noticed that it recommended
as the method to obtain the
object in view, a conference
between nations favorable to
free coinage. The adoption
of that resolution is evidence
that the Farmers National
Congress recognizes the ina
bility of the United States
alone to maintain the parity
of the two metals when both
are coined unlimitedly. The
phrase cat a ratio to be agreed
upon" is very significant, and
shows that the congress men,
toned recognizes the fact
that unless the market value
of the two metals are equal,
the cheaper metal would drive
out the dearer. 1t is now in
order for the free silver jour
nails to charge the Farmers
National Congress with be-
ing subsidized"

INGALLS,, Ind, April 27.-The excitement

brutal assault on Mrs. Isaac L. Humes, wife
of a blacksmith, has quoted down to-day.
The mob thronged the streets until late last
night, ready to lynch the tramp who is sup
several who had been arrested were taken

who could only shake her head. There are
six cuts on her throat, the windpipe being
partially severed. Her face, arms and body
were also hacked and gashed, and the pa.
tient is at the point of death from loss OF
blood. Some of the mutilations en- her body
suggest a .Jack-the-Ripper' mania on the
part of her unknown assailant-
The case is surrounded with much mys-
terry. Mrs. Humes was out picking greens
about s O'Clock in the morning. She wan
dered into a half-inished house out OF
curiosity, and was there assaulted. by a
man. The outrage was with great
brutality, and the man finished by siashlng
his victim with a razor. He threw the un-
conscious woman in the cellar, that con-
tanned nearly three feet of water, and then
escaped. Men were working near by, but
heard no screams, nor did they see any one
escape from the building. An hour later
Mrs. Humes crawled out drenched to the
skin and half dead from her wounds.
The town was quickly aroused, ana a
posse with bloodhounds attempted to trace
the would-be murderer. The trail led north
of town to a woods, and was lost at a ditch
where fresh footprints were seen. The
crowd returned and pumped the water out
of the cellar where Mrs. Humes indicates
she was thrown. Ar old razor that could
not be identified was found where 1T was
thrown by the man who made the assault.
Several doctors have been attending mrs
Humes to-day, and it is thought she will re-
cover.
