' *£)jc Constitutionalist. 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 A BLOODY collision took place on Monday in Laurens county, between the sheriff and and his posse and a body of negroes, in which two of the latter were killed and one wn ,\ Th(l negroes to the number of Roads. 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. MONTHLY STATEMENTS. The stock in Liverpool and alloat for that port for six years is as follows: 1870 1871 1872 1873 1874 1875 S'ock 524 SGI 890 757 870 875 Afloat 521 600 206 344 384 312 1045 1161 1157 1101 1254 1187 Price ol uplands: 9d, 9%d, lOd, B%d, Bd, 7%d. With the same amount of cotton at and afloat for Liverpool as the year 1871 and 1872, the price is 4 and 6 cents less. This shows the tendency of the cotton market, and the want of confidence in the main tenance of high prices for the future.

B. W. 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. “ Bourbonish.”— The editor of the Courier-Journal confesses that recent events have made him a “ little Bour bonish.” There is no “sherry and cham pagne ” in that.
