Supply and Demand.
Nearly every Goldocrat you meet
I has an endless store of talk on the
' question of “supply and demand,”
as applied to cotton, wheat and land
•—but never a word about the law of
’•supply and demand,” as applied to
MONKT.
Your average moss-back talks
glibly about raising too much cotton,
never stops to remark that while
has dropped one hundred
>r cent within five years its produc
tion has not increased five per cent
'beyond the increase of populotion.
Such little facts as these weigh
nothing with your average mossback.
He L sereuely links anther chain to
'those which already join Ephraim to
his idols and feebly demands 51
seats for cotton while he lustily hur.
tabs for the party which shut off the
supply of money and thus d -vve
down the price of that cotton.
Why not stop to consider that the
law of supply and demand applies
to money as well as to cotton?
Why not stop to consider that
when the government was making
an increase, of the currency, as it was
doing in 1890, the people could get
more money for cotton, because
there was more to get?
Why not stop to consider that
when the government lessens the
supply of money, the demand for
it is thereby increased, and the price
of it thereby advanced?
Why has cotton gone down ?
Because the price of money has
gone up.
Why has the price of money
g-me np ?
Because the democrats cut off the
supply by repealing the Sherman
law, and by refusing to pass the
Seigniorage Bill over Cleveland’s
veto.
Why has sugar gone up?
Because of the protective tariff
thrown around it, and the tax thus
laid upon it.
Why has jute bagging gone up?
Because a trust, or “corner,” has
been made upon the small supply
and the demaud increased.
Tile supply of money having been
cut off, its quantity thus, relatively,
lessened, a trust, or “corner,” has
virtually been formed upon money,
and its price advanced.
The only way on earth to break
the money trust is to have the gov
ernment open the mints again, create
a new supply of money, and thus
break the monopoly which the Wall
Street Combine now enjoys.
Ail commodities, not specially pro
tected by a Trust or a “Corner,” are
going down.
Tn other words, it takes more com
modity to get the dollar; and the in
jury comes from the fact that after
you part with two bales of cotton
to get the money which one brought
in 1890, the dollar you get pays no
more debt, or tax, than it did m 1890-
Now if you have to pay twice as
much land, labor or produce for a
dollar as you did in 1890, what hope
is there for you ever to get out of
debt?
Ab, but they toll you t he “price
of e- ttou h fixed in Liverpool.”
Llv-n-po i no more fixes the price
of chiton than a clock fixes the time
of day.

u h.st as a time-keeper registers

'• pri-o of cotton is fixed—

'i . ■ - 1b iai figures show that the
pio le.<-t•■•n <>i cotton his not out

ma.tr.aily varied from the increase
"■ in- ir; iitlu; 'a'.i of prices, in four
yo-ir.-. from :. n cents to rive ceirts,
c.a. only be <■' plained by the fact
that silvi r lus been stricken down,
and the country forced into the tre
niendou-; eonti.u-t'im iiuplind in the
single gobi standard.
C item has gone down because the
supply oi money of final payment
has gone down.
Wheat and kind havi .;cno down
because the measure of value is now
goid alone, whereas it used to be
-bo’h gold and silver.
Tho bale of cotton has shrunk be
cause the dear oi i democratic partv
put it into the legislative compress
and squeezed it. The Eastern hold
er oi your debts gets two bales where
. he used to get one.

A Jiegdar Calamity Howl.
The following are extracts from
pun's Review:
.“.Retail .trade, the last step in the
PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GA.. OCTOBER 5, 1894.
movement from producer to con
sumer's at tho same time the same
upon which depends empty shelves
in the stores and future orders to tho
mills. After months of unnatural
economy, buying should be large
enough to send the mills further or
ders very soon.
It appears that the volume of trade
at present is, on the whole, consider
ably less than in a normal year at
most points, and in the more import
ant trades is apparently about 20
per cent smaller than in September,
1892.
“Evidence of continued improve
ment in wholesale trade and manu
facture does not appear this week.
There is large distribution on orders
given on some time ago, but new
business going to manufacturers is
everywhere slackening.
“The depression in the prices of
farm products will have some effect.
Unprecedented records have been
made in cotton and wheat contracts
for future delivery, in which the
prices are the lowest ever made.
“Cotton on the spot is lower at
6.4-1 cents than at any other time
since 1849, and quotations then did
not mean what they do now, while
the nearest option has been quoted
at 6.94 cents, which is below all
previous records. Even at the close
the fall for the week is one-quarter
of a cent.
“The iron industry shows a shrink
age of demand, and prices quoted to
day are but little above the lowest
this year.”
Win They Befuse.
In our cartoon of the 28th one of
the reasons was shown why “the
men who control” object to a divi
sion of election managers. This de
vice was actually used in a county
in this state at the last election, the
treadle under the table operating a
receptacle beneath the slot into which
tho ballots could fall, and which
would be raised to catch such votes
as were not wanted and dump them
under the ballot box in the table.
The numbers of these ballots being
taken down, would afterwards be
put upon the “right sort” of tickets
and substituted in tho ballot box in
place of those extracted.
This was the plan worked where
t.he grosser plans of throwing out
whole precincts or miscounting the
votes was not adopted. If it is not
intended to employ any of these or
other unfair methode, why should
there be objection to a division of
managers ?
A party which intends to act on
the square will’not refuse, and wher
ever the request for a division of
managers is denied the inevitable
conclusion must be that some unfair
methods are to be practiced.
Upon whichever banner victory
shall perch, let it be a clean victory
which shall leave behind .it no
sting of bitterness to the defeated
party.
They Are Disappointed.
Our friends, the democrats, are
greatly worried because one of their
schemes of Iran I has been nipped in
the bud. The Journal explains it
very naively this way :
Theres- re when the justices of the
in in- failed to open the polls there was
uo election, as he had the blanks and
without them no election could be held.
Just above the Journal states that ■
The law also provides that the legal
blanks upon which the election is to be
held shall bo sent out to the different
ordinaries by the secret ary of the state
and by the or.dnari.-s delivered to the
justices of tile peace.
When tn defiance of law the
ordinary delivered these blanks to
the notary public, who was a demo
crat, instead of delivering them to
the justice of the peace for that dis
trict who happened to be a populist
(as was dore in Wilkes), and when
it is remembered that in the election
of ’92 many strong populist precincts
were in this maimer totally dis
franchised, we can understand the
neat, little trick cur friends were pre
paring to work, and their disappoint
ment at being frustrated.
The Journal gives notice to ail
democrats “who have been appointed
to act at tho pollp,” that is. to pre
v-.nt an election being held in the
district for which they were ap
pointed to ac-t by not putting in an
appearance in time; that they arc
now urged to be on time.
Otir friends seem to be badly rat
tled because one of their pet schemes
of fraud has been so ruthlessly up
set.
A Divided House.
Tho Georgia democracy is becom
ing a laughing stock for the repub
licans ami populists, by reason of the
fact that certain self-appoiitted lead
s-rs who are stumping the state un
der pre’eusa < f supporting the demo
i ratic p.-.-ty really doing all they
an to disrupt the party and create
dissentient in the ranks of the de
mocracy of the state by advocating
doctrines of the republican party.—
