Americus, Ga., July 31, 1801.
When a dollar drops into the national
treasury these days Secretary Foster
feels as proud as a country editor who
has just receipted for a year's subscrip
tion in advance.
If the recent general rains will have
the effect of shortening the production
of cotton and thereby raising the price
of what is raised, they will bo a god
send to the country.
Thebe is said to be <« $20,000,000 sur
plus in the New York banks. The coun
try would be much better off if it were
distributed among the people, but its ex
istence is reassuring. The crops will
bring it out.
the best authority in
cial questions, by reason of its excep
tional facilities for getting at the plans
of Wail street and the east, had a strong
article yesterday on the subject of
“the money sharks and the south,*’ in
which is shown pretty clearly that the
south has no reason to expect special
favors from Wall street, so long as free
silver is so solidly advocated by this
section.
Whether there is a systematic boycott
of the south’s industrial enterprises and
business, does not yet appear; there cer
tainly is not unless it clearly appears to
be the interest of the money sharks to
make one.
Hut this much is certain upon com-
mou business principles: the west calls
for money from the east, to move its
wheat crop some thirty to sixty days
United States Senator M. C. Butler and
President Stokes of the state Alliance,
in which the latter advocated the sub-
treasury bill as the remedy for the pres
ent insufficiency of the circulating medi
um, and opposed state banks.
Senator Butler was afraid of the con
centration of power in the secretary of
the treasury under the system of the
sub-treasury bill, and favored state
banks of issue as the better remedy.
The Times-Recobdeh is glad to see
such able statesmen as Senator Butler in
favor of state banks of issue, because
from that source it is confidently be
lieved that a partial if not a complete
solution of the financial question of the
day is to be obtained.
The issue of money by state banks, un
der proper safeguards and restrictions,
ahead of the movement of the cotton j is believed by Tiie Times-Kecokdkb to

shortage of currency, the south will ' treasury bill, which allianceraen profess

What remedy for tills trouble can bo | statesmen like Senator Butler, but jour-
devised by our financial Solons, if any at nals like the Atlanta Constitution, and
all, remains to be seen. The country is
determined however to relieve a trouble
that everybody admits comes from a too
small volume of currency for the needs
if business; and it behooves those peo-
prominent bankers, favor the trial of
state banks of issue as the very best so
lution of the problem which is now occu
pying the attention of all thinking men.

The sub-treasury bill is having many
substitutes suggested, and that “some
thing better” will probably come along
after awhile in the shape of brand new,
crisp paper bills, which will pass for A
dollar everywhere. Let ’er coine.

Tint idea of restricting next year’s

farmers. All over tho South they are
passing resolutions on the subject Tho
latest action reported is that of the
Ogletliorpo county alliance, in which
Roy. J. G. Gibson's resolution, pledging
the members to plant only ten acres to
the mule, in caso of n concerted plan,
was adopted.

The twin cities of the great North
west, St. Paul and Minneapolis, have
about come to the conclusion that to
put the two together would rival New
York and Chicago, but when they came
to select a name for the consolidated
city neither would agree to accept the
namo of the other. An attempt has
been mado to consolidate the names Into
Mlnnepanl, Paulapolis, or some other
double geared affair, but so far it has
been unsuccessful. Paulapolis would
come nearer retaining tbo whole of each
same, and Tuu Timks-Kkcoudeu would
auggest It as a solution of the difficulty.
Undoubtedly the great hope, and In
fact the only hope, Republicans enter
tain of regaining control of the govern
ment, is based upon a belief that the
Democratic party will split upon the
silver question. Speaking of this mat
ter the Nashville, Tenn, American,
Democratic, says: “The people who are
suffering from the tariff are having the
evils of VcKinleyism ground into them
■o thoroughly day by day that there la
no danger of any question of any kind
being allowed to obscure the real issue.
They want relief from a system which
takas three dollars for a class whenever
one dollar is needed for the government.”

eas are failing to lead.

Just so long as our pronfinent busi

bill ground swell against the further per
petration of such injustice as the people
refuse to do so, the demagogues will do j now endure, will convince the powers
country.
The only real danger to the business
interests of the country lies right here.
WHY MONEY WILL BE SCARCE.
Another featuro of the present finan
cial situation in New York is probably
of more interest in the South at present
than the fluctuation of railroad shares.
That city is supposed to furnish the
money to move the crops of the country
every year. Last year the amount of
money shipped to interior points for the
purpose of handling the crops of tho
country was $35,000,000. It is esti
mated that between forty and fifty mil
lion dollars will be asked for this year,
but the New York banks will not be able
to furnish as much as they did in 1800.
Ill the West money to move crops is
needed sooner tliau it is in the South.
The wheat crop i£ ready for market
some time ahead of cotton. Tho South
will have to suffer on account of the
shortage of money this time. The West,
wanting the money first, will get all ft
needs, and the South must get along
with what is loft. Tho president of one
of tho banks here stated the other day
that by the time tho West was supplied
witli all tho money wanted the amount
left available for the South would proba
bly be live to seven millions less than
that section received last year.
The Farmers’ Alliance in tho South
last year tried to bring about a better
m ice for cotton by holding back a part
of the crop. Whether they knew it or
not, they were playing against the specu
lators and the money power of Wall
street, and they have lost. It is esti
mated that 000,000 bales of last year’s
crop have not been sold. Now the ex
perts who make estimates in tho inter
est of the speculators simply add these
<100,000 bales to the estimated crop of
1801. The speculators fix the price of
cotton, and the price is based on the
estimated crop. This cotton held back
by the Farmers’ Alliance is now esti
mated as a part of this year's crop, and
if sold this season will bring at least
half a cent a pound loss than it would
have sold for last year, unless some un
expected accident cuts short the grow
ing crop. The speculators arc much
amused at the ease with which they have
outwitted the managers of the Farmers’
Alliance.—Constitution.
that be that a reform is really demanded
by the people.

BGffLL & OAKLEY,
313 LAMAR STREET,
Tho press of tile state is liani in cring
away on “uuiform text hooks.” The
old blue-hack speller stood tho test of
sevoral generations, and would not bo
out of place as yie foundation of a good
education now.
The Colman alliance, of Randolph
county, condemns the address of Presi
dent O. A. Barry, .of the Confederate
Veterans' Association, in which ho paid
his rospects to the Third Party, and
considers it nn attack upon the alliance.
The Capital City Club of Atlanta lias
held a solemn conclave to pass upon
what is left of Steve Ryan; but the sub
ject seems to have been of too great
weight to digest at one sitting; so the
fate of Steve the Plunger hangs in tho
balance, just as hit corpus does in tho
eye of the law. Some clubman, less
charitable than the rest, compared Ry
an's case to that of Gordon-Cumraing,
the English baccarat gambler; but jus
tice has so far been tempered with mercy
that Steve still lives as a member of the
Capital City's 400. It does seem that a
club that could lionize Bullock and
whitewash Postmaster Lew la, ought to
swallow Ryan without greasing or pin
ning back his ears, notwithstanding the
size and length of Steve’s auricular ap
pendages.
The Monticello Constitution says: A
plank in the Third Party platform,
adopted at Cincinnati, says that congress
shall pass a law making eight hours a
day’a work. This would not weed the
grass out of the cotton crop In the
South.

SOUTHWEST GEORGIA'S MAN.
There seems to he grounds for sns*
pecting that a fight will he made at the
meeting of the Stato Agricultural Socie
ty in Atlanta August 12, to displace
President Waddell. Without taking
sides in the controversy, The Times-
Rkcobdkh claims that in the event of a
change in the presidency, Southwest
Georgia is the proper field from which
to select President Waddell's successor.
The reason for this Is obvious. This
Is the great agricultural section of tho
state, and has long been overlooked in
the distribution of the offices of the so
ciety; Indeed, since Alfred II. Colquitt
was president and hailed from this sec
tion, Southwest Georgia has had none of
the honora of the society.
Among the names suggested to suc
ceed Col. Waddell, The Times-Recok-
deii notos that of our fellow townsman
Capt John A. Cobb, aud no better se
lection could be made for the place. In
addition to the ripe experience and
large knowledge of agricultural affair*
which would qualify Capt. Cobb so well
for filling thia position, there la the ad
ditional desideratum that Capt Cobb is
not a candidate, and if elected, would
give a moat faithful service to the socie
ty without undertaking to uie it aa a
stepping atone to political preferment.
Without the knowledge on the part of
Capt. Cobb of the intention af Tub
Tiues-Recordeb, he la hereby named
ee the candidate of Southwest Georgia
for the presidency of the Stato Agricul
tural Society.
