AUGUSTA, GA.:
Wednesday Morning, Sept. 1,1875.
The Ohio Campaign—Not Much Hum
hug in “Bill” Allen.
It was to be expected that a staunch
Republican like Gen. Spinner, whose
self-conceit is only equalled by his
ability, should make mouths at both
parties in Ohio, and dismiss them with
the contemptuous phrase that “they
did not know what they were talking
about and were only throwing dust in
each others eyes.”
From a very careful survey of the
field, we are of opinion that Gov. Allen,
at least, is conversant with the wants
of the masses and terribly alive to the
despotism that crushes them to the
earth. We believe too that ho sincere
ly wishes to open their eyes to some
plain facts, the injurious operations of
which are felt, but perchance not seen,
in their true enormity. The main point
contended for by the Democracy of the
State is that there shall be no contraction
of the circulating medium, as the hard
money men desire, and no rash and
abrupt resumption of specie payments,
which would involve the debtor classes
of the country.in irretrievable disaster
for the benefit of a few capitalists and
bondholders. Premising that it is sim
ply impossible for the country to return
to specie payments in a brief period,
except by general repudiation of heavy
debts incurred, the New York Free
man's Journal puts the true state of
the case, from a Democratic stand
point, thus : "There are the hundreds
of millions of debt of the United
States. And there are the multitude
of more huge and extravagant munici-
pal debts, of counties and towns—
debts for new and extravagant county
houses, and city halls, and academies,
and free schools—for which counties
and boroughs are bonded. And, then,
there are the extravagant outlays in
granite and marble, and crystal win
dows, and tesselated floors for all man
ner of private corporations, for rail
road companies, insurance companies,
and the like. The floods of debts, in
curred in extravagant and usually dis
honest manners, are up to the lips and
ears of a large part of the community.
“And our public taxes are so heavy
that every dollar an honest man earns
is clipped of at least thirty cents on it.
Tne dollar, to the poor man, means
hardly seventy cents of old-fashioned
Democratic money. The two dollars a
day for the workingman means hardly
one dollar and forty cents. The rest
he has to pay in taxes for his humble
domicile —through his landlord —in
tariffs not only on tea, coffee and su
gar, but on clothing,] shoes, hats and
flour and beef—for the farmer, having
to pay protective tariffs for all he
wears and buys, has to protect himself
by charging more for what ho pro
duces.
“It has passed the region of theory,
and is demonstrated, in the fact that
honest labor is flying from this coun
try !
“Those honest working people, each
one of whom, if without a dollar in the
pocket, was worth to our public pros
perity, on an average, fifteen hundred
to two thousand dollars a head—are.
and for a year and more have been—
quitting this country for their old
homes, or for distant colonies of Eng
land.
“Tho Federal Government, mean
time, is going on in its wasteful and
plundering extravagance. The taxes
wrung from the people are absorbed in
ways not for the public benefit. The
people of Ohio appreciate this, more
keenly than the tongue of orator could
impross it on their imagination. And
they feel that the talk of Government
contracting tho volume of the paper
that is our only circulating medium,
is doing for tho whole people what a
big bank would do for an active iron
manufacturer doing an extensive busi
ness on credit, were the bank to con
tract his line of discounts at its coun
ter. It means bringing about a gen
eral collapse. Beggaring iho multitude
for the advantage of the few that have
capital free.
" ‘Hard money,’ and restricted cred
its, are right principles, for Govern
ment as for individuals. Bat for Gov
ernment, after abusing its enormous
power in inflating credit, to reverse the
wheel, is for it to crush those that it
has made its victims.
“The people of Ohio, and of the
Great West, have a lively and practi
cal sense of these things. If per
suaded that the Democratic party was
pledgod to a speedy return to making
people pay in gold value what they had
contracted for in a depreciated value—
they would let the Democratic party
go to the devil. But they understand
that to pay in a higher value what was
bargained for in a lower, is not a prin
ciple at all—and least of all a Demo
cratic principle.
“It is on this issue, therefore, more
than on any other, that the people of
Ohio will elect Gov. Allen, and the
Democratic State ticket, by a rousing
majority.”
Lulu Distanced.— Goldsmith Maid is
still Queen of the Turf. At Utica, the
other day, she not only recovered her
laurels, but distanced Lulu. And now,
the old mare should be retired and al
lowed to ramble at will over the green
est of pastures.
The New York Times does its best to say
why the California specie paying bank
failure should be counted against the hard
money party. It has a good deal to say
about “financial ignorance abroad,” and “a
bank or a commercial house may lend itself
to rash speculations and overtrading,
whatever be the circulating medium by
which its transactions are measured,” and
a good deal more of such wishy-washy stuff
It was a gold-paying concern, however
which didn’t pay its honest debts by about
fourteen million

San Francisco Banks and the Bonan
za Mines of Nevada.
In this day, when mendacity has be
come a fine art, and all the agencies of
steam and electricty are used for pro
pagating speculative exaggerations, it
is hard to sift the real from the false.
The only thing one can do, as a public
journalist, is to seek for information
where it is apt to be correct, and, in
case of deception, make amends by
giving, at an early a date as possible,
the reverse side of the original story.
The panic in California has been so in
tertwisted with silver mines and silver
Senators, that any light thrown upon
this subject must be acceptable. In
a late issue of the New York Tribune
a correspondent from Nevada makes
a very astounding revelation concern
ing the almost fabulous richness of
that argentiferous State. As the Tri
bune is accused of being owned body,
soul, tower, editor, powerful mind and
all by Jay Gould; and as Jay Gould
doubtless has a big finger in the bon
anza pie ; and as J. G. is set down as
the coming ruler of tho telegraph and
press of this country, we know not
how much salt to prescribe for the
taking of his organ’s glittering narra
tive.
Starting out, however, with a well
founded impression that ho would tax
the credulity of an ordinary reader, the
correspondent of whom we have spoken
declares, with an air of injured inno
cence-injured by his own anticipation
of distrust —that he would hesitate to
give the facts in relation to them were
they'not certified by proofs so con
vincing that doubt is impossible.
He then proceeds to copy from the
“books of the company,” which can not
lie, you know, the following alleged
facts : “During the month of January,
1875, there were shipped §1,100,697; in
February, §1,200,743; in March, 81,707,-
571; in April, 81,509,657; in May, 81,521,-
777; and in June, 81,503.816. From
818,000,000 to §20,000,000 a year, t,o be
taken out of a single mine, is something
worthy of remark. Mr. Crawford, su
perintendent of the mint at Carson
City, a short time ago, had a contract
with the Consolidated Virginia to fur
nish tho mint, for coinage purposes,
bullion to the amount of 81,500,000.
“It was delivered in just twenty-one
days,” said Mr. Crawford.” The con
contract was made in a very
good time for the company. The
machinery in one mill cost a quarter
of a million of dollars, and one engine
in the Savage mine cost 8120,000. In
the consolidated Virginia mine alone
1,000,000 feet of lumber are used every
month for bulkheads, and 40,000 cords
of wood are burned in one year in the
several mills and mines belonging to
Mackay, Fair & Cos. They have be
tween 3,000 and 4,000 men employed at
an average price of four dollars per
day. The pay-roll of ODe mine for the
month of Juno amounted to about
870,000. The firm pays 810,000 a
quaiter, or §200,000 a year, as tax on
the production of bullion for one mine.
The discount and express charges on
bullion to San Francisco cost the com
pany about 880,000 a month. The
assay department, spoken of above, is
able to melt, bar, assay and stamp
8100,000 a day in gold and silver bars
in combination—the gold being about
45 per cent. The weight of tho bars is
from 90 to 110 pounds.”
The correspondent then asserts that
he copied from the books of Wells,
Fargo & Cos. tho following figures:
Statement of the amount o f precious metals
produced in Ihe Slates and Territories west
of the ALssouri river since 1874.
California $20,300,531
Nevada 35,452,233
Oregon 609,070
Washington 1.55,535
Idaho 1,880,004
Montana 3,439,493
Utah 5,911,2:8
Arizona 26,066
Colorado 4,191,405
Mexico 798,878
British Columbia 1,636,557
Total $74 401,055
Upon this statement the correspind
ent thus comments :
This table shows that Nevada’s product
of the precioin metals last year was great
er than that of all the Territories com
bined, and that It lacked something over
$3,000,000 of equalling tho combined bul
lion product of tho entire number of Slates
and Territories west of tho Missouri river.
If tho yield of the Nevada mines during
tho first half of the present year is any in
dication of this year’s production, there
will be more than $60,000,000 as against the
$35,452,233 of 1874. The shipments of ore
from the Consolidated Virginia mine for
the first six months of the year have been
over $8,500,000 as against loss than $5,000,-
000 of the entire year of 1874.
Mr. Flood and Mr. Fair both say they
expect to ship $4,000,000 of bullion a month
when they get fairly started. While this
seems an extravagant estimate, it would
not be more remarkable than the discover
ies alreafly. Indeed, it is held by experts,
among them Dr. Linderman, Director
Genoral of the Mint, who went into the
mine at the same time I did, that there aro
from ten to fiftoon millions of dollars of
ore in sight. Dr. Rogers, of the Uni varsi
ty of Pennsylvania, an experienced mine
ralogist, said the ore seemed practically
inexhaustible, and from the manner In
which it lay he thought there was no
doubt there were “ millions in it.” General
Le Grange, Superintendent of tho San
Francisco Mint, is of the same opinion.
Dr. Linderman is then quoted as
having said that he had never seen so
much silver in his whole life, and never
expected to see so much again. He is
also “booked” for a report to Congress
on the subject, and “thinks the Nevada
mines will have a great deal to do with
the return to specie payments. He sees
no reason why silver should not be in
general circulation now instead Of
small notes and fractional currency, as
the low price of silver in the London
market makes a greenback dollar by
the quotation worth the more by one
or two cents.”
The Nevada silver mines will have
very little to do with specie resump
tion, because, if Mr. Samuel Bowles
can be believed, more money Las
been sunk in developing them than
San Francisco will ever see again.
The great fortunes made by Sharon,
Jones, Flood and O’Brien, have been
the result of stock gambling, princi
pally and we dare say by manipula
tions and deceptions very far from
creditable to their sense of honor, if
tney possess such an unfashionable
and inconvenient commodity. Of course
there is immense wealth hidden in the
bowels of the Nevada mountains, and
much of it will bo dug out; but how
far this glittering heap will add to the
substantial wealth of the country and
its financial morality, the reader may
conjecture for himself.
While Dr. Linderman sees no reason
why “silver should not be in general
circulation instead of small fractional
notes,” Gen. Spinner, a much more
practical financier, sees only too clear
ly. He has in a recent interview an
swered that conundrum explicitly. Sil
ver thus issued would “go to tho melt
ing pot and the crucible ;” ay, and he
might have added in multitudinous old
stockings and china tea-pots. The
mines of Nevada need not be looked
to for restoring this country to pros
perity and solid wealth. Upon agri
cultural riches, reaped from the earth
by the farmers of the land, all hopes
of future health in trade must chiefly
rest. A restoration of the true princi
ples of free government, the removal
of the pressure that is now driving the
farmers and merchants of the United
States to bankruptcy—these are the
veritable bonanzas worth the having,
and, in comparison with which, the
uudug treasures of Nevada are mere
dross in the balance.
Cotton—The Growing Crop—Some
Facts and Figures.
Commenting upon the Bureau Re
port, which he concedes to boa very
fair and sagacious one, the cotton
writer for the Atlanta Constitution says:
When we wrote two months ago the crop
had the appearance of turning out four
and a half million bales. Now we think
four million two hundred and fifty thou
sand a very fair estimate. The rains and
the very high water in the Mississippi
river may have injured the crop 50,000
bales, and the burning sun together with
extreme drouth in some sections has al
most destroyed tho crop on high sandy
lands, wo think this damage may be 200,000
bales. From this time forward if we have
frost at the usual time, and a fair picking
season we think four and a quarter million
a very fair estimate, and if there is further
material damage from any cause the crop
will be less than tho above figures. Just
now the weather is as fine as can be, and
the appearances are for continued fair,
warm weather.
TRICE.
It has now been four weeks since the cot
ton mills in Oldham, England, shut down.
These mills consume about ten thousand
bales a week. This is a small matter within
itself, and will not affect the supply mate
rially either way. But It Is the effect of
these stoppages on the minds of cotton men
that makes the trouble; it retards the
growth of that confidence which is so much
needed In the cotton trado just now. When
cotton mills are closed by strikes of the
operatives, or by lock-outs of the proprie
tors, on the pro ext of a trifling dispute, as
is the case now, it is strong proof that trade
is extromely dull, and that cotton goods
are in large supply and hard to sell. If It
were otherwise, the difficulties would be
settled upon some terms, and the mills re
sume work at once. Wo shall, of course,
for the next month, have strong markets,
when the price will look like it would go
much higher, and weak ones when the bot
tom looks like it would fall out, and still
may not be much general change.

Some Facts and Figures—Why Specie
Itesumption is a “Barren Ideality.”
While Dr. Linderman is dazed, poor
man, with undug silver in Nevada, won
dering betimes why our fractional cur
rency is uot hard money; and while old
Gen. Spinner is knocking the Doctor’s
conundrum “higher than a kite;” some
statistician ciphers the whole financial
problem thus: “Wo are drained of
specie, as it were. To redeem $700,000,-
000 of paper currency, the United States
have less than $80,000,000 of coin. The
paper circulation of the banks—s3so,-
000,000—is backed up with less than
$250,000 of specie. The boasted mines
of the country yield about $50,000,000
per annum. Imports have been less
than exports since 1860, when tho Abo
lition war began. We are paying
gold interest on $1,700,000,000 of
our debt, nearly all of it going into
the pockets of foreign bondhold
ers, and added to this drain,
Americans, who hold tho smallest pro
portion of our gold interest bonds, re
siding abroad to a great degree, and
spending their gold income for the
benefit of foreigners, the economist
knows that all this keeps the American
nation in the very lowest condition of
metallic wealth on which to base a
paper circulation, and that tho idea of
resuming specie payments in 1879 is
one of the most monstrous delusions
that ever seized upon a poople. Much
money or little money, gold money, or
paper money, is of no consequence to a
people whose business is destroyed.
Money does not make business.”
It is safe to say that until this coun
try is restored to its normal condition
of liberty, and the Radical conspiracy
against labor and society overthrown,
there will be neither peace, happiness
nor prosperity.
