The opera house has a seating capacity

impression is that the capacity Of the

occasion The only way out OF the trouble
appears to be an open air meeting like
the one that Mr.. Smith addressed here
TWO years ago. The crowds will -ome

the occasion Mr.. Smith is not regarded
by the people here as a candidate for the
United States senate. but as the admin

been heard in WaycrOss on the financial
question and his appearance here Will be
something new. The Eleventh district is
overwhelmingly in favor of bold stan
dard ana sound money This sentiment is
thoroughly rooted in the minds and
hearts of the majority of South Georgia
democrats. However, Mr.. Crisp will be
heartily welcomed to Waycross even by
his opponents.

more money in circulation at tho close 0
the war than there is now. again call
attention to the fact that at the close of
the war there was about $40 per capita
in circulation, while at the present time
there is about 500 in circulation. | get
| these figures from the reports OF the sec
rotary of the treasury. and prefer such
authority to the authority of Mr.. Kelley
| or any other free silver advocate in the
| US. The fact is that every dollar of the
treasury notes mentioned by Mr.. Kelley
| has been superseded by nearly two dol
lars OF gold or silver or paper redeemable
in gold or silver, and that at the time
mentioned by Mr.. Kelley (namely, 1869
there was scarcely gold or silver enough
i'm circulation to merit mentioning.
Mr.. Kelley still insists that the mere
| agitation for free silver caused it to adj
vance 3o.:5,2 per cent. The agitation he
| speaks OF commenced in 1889 and ii it
has abated Mr.. Kelley evidently has not
noticed it. In 1880, the average value
| OF silver was about 96c. an ounce. At
| the present time, it is worth about 66c.
an ounce. How do these figures compare
with Mr.. Kelley's statements? Can it
be that Mr.. Kelley purposely fa%lsifes, or
has he been taking his figures from some
populist campaign document Don't
trust such authority too far, Mr.. Kelley,
it may get you into further trouble.
Mr.. Kelley further says that President
Harrison used the surplus found in the
treasury upon his accession to office to
| stave off the panic. That ne did this by
paying off unmatured bonds. These
bonds were held for the most part by
foreigners, and just how the payment OF
money to foreigners could relieve a strin-
gency or stave off a panic in the U. s., |
am unable to see. The TACT is, the people
OF the L. S. were clamoring for a reduc-
ton OF the surplus, and President Har-
rison used the money in the only profit
able way in which it could be used. No
doubt Il demopop president could have
found some other way to reduce that
surplus. The present administration
aided by the populists have not incurred
the disadvantage OF IA surplus and have
provided o place Tor any surplus that
may accrue under succeeding Republican
| administrations.
Mr.. Kelley also says that the Mckinley
law has been repudiated. Ii the over
whelming Republican maiorities OF 1894
is proof or reputation, then Mckinley
ism has most certainly been repudiated.
Now, Mr.. Kelley, before answering this

law were greater than under the
Wilson law. This is on a par with
his average tariff table. The inn
portation of fax during the calendar
year 1895 under the Wilson law was
about 1900 tons greater han in
1888 under the Mckinley law. The
importation of barley was over
100000 bushels greater in 1895
under the Wilson law than in 1898
under the Mckinley law. The i'm
~portation of hay was 274,o00 tons
greater in 1895 under the Wilson
law than in 1893 under the Mckinley
law. The importation of oats was
$4,000 bushels greater in 1895 un-
der the Wilson law than in 1898
under Mckinley law. In 1894, there
was a little over 61,000,000 pounds
of wool imported into the U. s.,
while in 1895 under the Wilson law
there vas nearly 250,000,000 pounds
of wool shipped into this country. |
might 90 on and name nearly every
product of the farmer and laboring
man, but space forbids. The farmer
and laboring man know to their sor-
row that the price of their products
have fallen in proportion to the in
crease in importation. What differ
ence does it made to the .laborer or
farmer whether the total amount of
imports was greater under the Nc
Kinley law than under the Wilson
law? The question which affects
them is whether there was more Of
their products imported under the
Wilson law than under the Mckinley
law, and a study of the statistical
abstract of the u. S. will show that
there has been an increase under the
Wilson law in the importation of
those things which they produce.
Mr.. Kelley in one paragraph says
that there is only a difference of 10
per cent between the Mckinley law
and the Wilson law, and in the next
paragraph he says that percentage is
very~deceiving. Yes, Mr.. Kelley,
average per cent is very deceiving,
and when used by you in your at
tempt to deceive, it becomes doubly
)%deceiving.

suppose You should BE Mistaken.

Farmers who think that free silver
will help them to get rid of their mort
cages should consider carefully what eff
feet a 16 to ] law will have on the lenders
of capital. The silverites are telling you
beautiful stories about the great volume
of money which will be ready for loan
ing at low rates of interest as soon as
we adopt the silver standard. But sup
pose the scheme should not work in the
way they expect? Suppose that as 0
as it becomes likely that a free coinage
law will be enacted there is a general
demand that all mortgages should at
once be paid in full? The promise of
cheap money when free silver comes
won't help you low. Where are You
going to get the money to pay off your
mortgage? Do you suppose any man is
going to make loans while there is a
possibility of his being repaid in so cent
dollars? And if you can't raise the
money when it is called for. and if your
farm is sold at a sacrifice, where will
you be then?
Think these things over. Don't be
fooled by the free silver idea that cheap
money means low rates of interest. The
facts are just the other way. interests
far higher III all silver using countries
than in gold countries. If we go ON the
silver standard the men who have capi-
tai to lend will charge moro interest
than they do now in order to owe the
risk of being repaid in deprecated sill
yer dollars. So if you succeed IN bor-
rowing under free coinage you WIZ pay
higher interest on the loan. Ask any,
body who knows the facts whether in
terest is not much higher in Mexiso, In
dia o. the silver South American eSsn-
tries than in the United States, Eng
land or Germany, with their currency
based on gold. Then make up your mind
that you'wil vote Tor the financial sys

Double standard Maple Sugar.

The Mohawk valley was settled by
the Dutch, as your readers know. When
the country was new, Yankee peddlers
came through the settlements and pur-
chased the crop of maple sugar. On one
occasion a green Dutchman sold a Yam
kee his maple sugar far below the mar
ket price, and his neighbors leased him
for being deceived. He said in reply:
you Wait and l will vix him next
year" The next spring he sold his crop
of sugar TO the same Yankee at the same
price. When his neighbors rallied him,
he said: II am no fool. / made the sap
that sugar was made from of half spring
water" The green Dutch farmer had
just as much common sense as those
cranks who assert that so cents worth
of silver and an equal amount of water
will make a dollar worth 100 cents in
gold at the present standard. IF. G. in

buy from your grocer was &c. per
pound, while under the Wilson law
it is l24c. per pound, or an increase
of over 500 per cent. Mr.. Kelley,
you must get your statistics from
speeches made by ..Pitchfork" Till
man, or "Where-am-I-atn Watson.
Mr.. Kelley cites several author
tiles to show that the amount of
money in circulation governs the
selling price of commodities. Most
of the authorities cited are English
political scientists who have been
dead for years. They all are mere
theorists who base their con ,lusions
on what they call philosophical de-
auctions without taking the trouble
to ascertain what the facts actually
are.
In my last article, in support of
the proposition that the amount of
money in circulation does not govern
the price of commodities, / cited
France and Greece. / now cite
France and Germany. France has a
per capita circulation OF $35.77, and
Germany has a per capita circulation
of S17.s9. Will any one with any
knowledge of facts, with any regard
for the truth, with any brains what.
ever, maintain that prices are 100
per cent higher in France than in
Germany ? further cite France and
Switzerland. Switzerland has a per
capita circulation of 1897. Win
any one with any regard for his rep
u%tation for sanity maintain that
prices are 800 per cent lower in
Switzerland than in France I?

Money value of 500 pounds in 1896 at s0.0T.so

or "a. SO cents per pound, in eight years,
Under our present financial system the
price has only fallen $50 per bale, or II
cents per pound. in 2S years. In face Of
these official figures how can any intel
ligent man pretend that it was the
change in our currency laws IN 1878
which has reduced the money value Of
cotton?
The advocates Of free silver may at
tempt to answer this exposure Of their
low price For cotton argument by show
ing that there was a great increase in
the cotton crop between 1865 and 1878.
This Is true, but there has also been q
far greater quantity Of cotton produced
every year since 1878 than ever before,
the crop for 1892 reaching g., OBS, 879
bales as compared with $3.50, sos bales
in 1878, the largest crop during the
period from 1865 to 1873, so that if in
creased production caused the great de-
cline in price in one case it is surely
fair to credit it, and not the stoppage Of
free silver coinage, with the lower prices
Of the past 90 years.

FREE SILVER AND THE PRICE or COT
TON.
Populist Statistics Which Prove Sound
Money Statements.

Populist Statistics which Prove Sound
Money Statements.
The Arena, aPopulist magazine, pub
fishes a series of pictures intended to
show the great decrease in the purchas-
ing power of a bale of cotton, owing to
the alleged characterization" of silver.
The money value Of the first bale is given
as Sale. 80 in 1865. The next in the
same series is for 1870, when the money
value had shrunk to $119. 90. Other
pictures give the varying values down
to 1894, the conclusion from the whole
being that the lack of free silver has
caused the fall in the price of cotton.
How false this argument is can DO
seen by looking at the figures quoted.
Between 1865 and 1870 the price Of cot
ton fell from SO. 8S cents per pound to
rs. 98 cents By 1878, the year of the
Crime" the price had gone down to
10. 80 cents. In other words, the money
value of a bale of cotton shrank from
$416. 80 in 1865 to $94. q difference
OF $S22. 80, while the county had free
coinage of silver at 10 10 /. Since that
time the fall in price has been much
less. having been only from $94 in 1878
to $50 in 1895 at the present quota
tions of 80 cents per pound.
The history of cotton prices shows,
therefore, that under free silver the
price of a bale of cotton declined $322. 80.

People's voice., 1896-08-20
A Pennysnapper.

The technical and sensational ed
itor of the Wellington Daily Mail
spread himself in sensation galore
last Friday. He charged that the
editor Of the VOICE had misquoted
the speech Of John A. Logan in the
Senate, January 10th, 1874. In
some places that he had interpolated
words, phrases and sentences for
which "dastardly crime" Naugle was
held aloft, as liar, a deceiver, a
distorter, disgrace, a william, etc.
Coming from the source it does, il
falls fiat on the air and disturbs the
peace and serenity of "Naugle" very
slightly.
The quotation in question has
been going the rounds of the pres:
for weeks, and we copied it as we
found it supposing it to be a correct
one. Naugle did not interpolats
nor omit a single word, line Oh
phrase in the extract. Simply print
ed II as he had found it. The edi
