The Democratic State Convention is
over. Papers of all political shades
agree that it was scene of wordy tur-
moil, and that the sound money element
was numerically crushed wherever they
poked up their heads. The minority
had no rights which the majority was
bound to respect. The resolutions prac.
tically ignore everything but free silver.
That, however, went through with a
whirl. If we mistake not, that silver
resolution got much of its ringing tone
from the pen of our esteemed friend,
Hon. @. b. Collins, who was the moving
spirit on the committee. If all Demo.
Gratis were as good natured as friend
Collins, there'd be less scrapping and
more business in their conventions.

We have been asked by many soldiers
and others recently as to the fate
of the picker bill. 1t was strangled
in the Senate, where the free silver men
declared it should remain without action
until the passage of bill providing for
the free and unlimited coinage OF silver,
and not dollar nor penny would
they allow for soldiers or others until
free silver legislation should be obtain.
ed. A bill providing for $40, 900, 900 on
duties on imports was checked on the
same plea. Thus it will be seen that
the soldiers have an account to settle
with the free silver people.-Portsmou!h

make the suggestion. II originated with
Mr. H. Wyeth Of Winchester, who pro-

Adds Wright, who, ON March Q, 1887,
gave It publicity in Notes and Queries.
The supposition was held on the author
lty of Roberts, the player, that Lowin,
who was known to have acted Falstaff
and King Henry VIII and might conse.
quently have been supposed to be in
clined to corpulence, was the original
Hamlet. In this case the use Of the
word fat would be justified and ex-
planned.
More recent evidence shows, however,
the extreme probability that Burbadge
was the first Hamlet. Burbadge himself
was also stout. and might thus have
justified the employment Of the word.
Mr.. Sydney Lee, in Dictionary Of Ma

that s'faint" should be read for "fat. I"

that 'fat" is the reading Of all the

Mr.. Chas. j. West, Clerk in the Au.

some Assessors are careless in attend.
ing to this part of their work. There
are many interesting things in the re.
port. Among them we find the fol.
lowing:
No. of bushels of: wheat raised in
1894, 594, ,279; in 1895, 352, 2,977; adecrease
of about 25O.OOO bushels. The crop this
year will still be great deal less than
last year.
Oats, 1894, 5S,S99; in 1895, 43,Ol7.
Corn. 1894, 1926, 1856; in 1895, 1,427, 7,O75.
No. of pounds of fertilizer used in
1894. 2,Oll, $50, costing $27,5l3; in 1895,
3,l49,3OO, costing $3s, 1888.
Potatoes, 1894, 36, 499 bushels; in 1895.
35,152.
Tobacco. 1894, 52,945 lbs; in 1895, g..
600.
Butter, 1894, 53l, 1865 lbs; in 1895 47s,
O3O lbs.
Eggs, 1894, 73s,473 dozen; in 1895,
1850 dozen.
Apples, 1894, 3O,96O; in 1895, 695, 1913
| bushels.
Wool. 1894, 1885, ,252; in 1895, ll4,3sO.
Very few people pay any attention
to the vast amount of money that is
made throughout the county by minor
productions. such as eggs, butter, ap-
pies, &c. Take, for instance, the crop
of apples sold last year. There were
695,6l3 bushels. Say they were sold at
20 cents. and you have the sum of
$l39, 1890 from this crop alone. The
good housewives who make the butter
and raise the chickens, &C., may not be
able to sell all her products in a lump
like her husband does his hogs or
wheat, yet she contributes largely to
the income of the family. Take eggs
for al example: 7ll,550 dozen at the
low price of 8 cents per dozen makes
an income of $57,924. Or butter, 478,-
03O pounds, at 10 cents pound, MAX
ing $47 ,8O3. The housewives are Ger.

stroked my wife's chin several times
and kissed her repeatedly. She was un-

ogizing for her husbands absence, she
gave us an invitation to feast that

TO postpone it till tomorrow. "We are

she understood, but she smiled prettily

rode away. The honest freedom Of this

Nut for silverites to Crack.

Looking over file OF the Greenville
Mountaineer for ls4s, we were astonieh.
ed to find in its market reports from
Hamburg cotton quoted at 4 to 81 cents
a pound flour, $475 to S. a barrel
corn and meal 80 cents bushel bacon
6 to 81 cents.
Referring then to the Lathem, Alex.
ander & %. cotton statistics, we found
that cotton was selling in New York in
1889 at 1886 pound. In 1S4O it drop.
ped to go, in 1s41 it rose to $50. in
1912 it was Z So; in 1S43, 20; in 1s44.
7.73; in 1S45, $685. in 1846, 7.S7 In
1S4S, after sharp rise, it was down to
sos; in 1S49 it fell yet farther to 755.
These are New York prices. At Ham.
burg, which was then the market for
this section, prices seemed to be from
to 2 cents lower.
Thereat We marveled much. We sup.
posed from Coins Financial School,"
Joe Johnston, the Anderson Peoples
Advocate, the Spartanburg Herald, Ben
Tillman and other way up yonder free
silver authority, that the ''crime of 1873"
had brought down prices. Yet here we
find 80 years ago, during the time Of free
and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to l.,
prices of farm products were very much
as they are now, the chief difference
being that cotton is little higher and
bacon little cheaper now than they
were then.
Now we will be glad if the Anderson
Peoples Advocate, the Spartanburg
Herald and the rest of them will tell us
what caused the low prices and sudden
falls from 1889 to 1S49 while we had, as
they claim, the silver standard, while
the silver dollar was the unit, as they
claim, and not the "token" they say it
is now.
We would also like them to explain
if the alleged demonstration of silver is
the cause OF the fall in prices-why it is
that cotton dropped IA cents pound,
from 81 to II cents, in six years, from
1867 to 1873, while from 1873 to 1888,
ten years after the "crime," it dropped
only 81 cents-why it lost nearly so per
centin six years before the "crime" and
not quite 33 per cent. in the ten years
after the "crime."
And when they have finished that let
them tell us why, if England became the
richest country on earth with the gold
standard and all the other countries got
in debt to her, with their silver or mixed
standards, it would not be good policy
for US, if we desire to be rich and money
lenders instead Of money borrowers, to
try England's system awhile.-Greenville
