Though it is very common to reproach j has been
MONEY IN CIRCULATION.
Tlie Augusta Chronicle, in a recent
issue, has the following comprehensive
summary of, the fiuaucial situation, as
pertains to the amount of money in cir
culation:
We have no doubt that the country
needs more money per capita than the
amount in circulation, but if we are to
believe the officials of the United States
treasury, whose business it is to kuow
the actual circulation, an I who must
know better than the picayune politi
cian who mouths mischief aiming the
people about the baneful effects of con
traction of the currency, the volume of
money in circulation is larger than it

larried jurinji the farmers by their ignorant and
*le«ige malicious tirades about the evils of
that their nioti .e was get a husband.
Goethe averred that he got married in
order t * be ‘’respectable." John Wilkes
said he took a wife “to please his
friend.” Wyclierly. who esp oused hi*
housemaid, said he did it to “spite his
relations.’’
A widow who married a second hus
band said she wanted somebody to con
dole with her for the loss of her lirst.
Another because she thought a wedding
would “amuse the children.” Another,
to get rid of incessant importunity from
a crowd of suitors.
Old maids who get married invariably
assure their friends that they thought
hey could be “more useful” as wives
than as spinsters. Nevertheless Quip
gives it as his opinion that nine-tenths
of all persons who parry, whether wid
ows or widowers, spinsters or bachelors
wdo so for the sake of—getting married
A NEW, FRESH JOKE.
One of the funniest jokes jet got oft
by “Old Si.” the waggish editor of the
Atlanta Herald, is his defense of the
Democracy of Judge Speer, agaiuat the
statement of The Timeh-Recokdkk that
he was appointed by President Arthur
because he was a “renegade Democrat.”
Old Si should brush up ou political
history, aud consult with Senator Col
quitt, who fought Judge Speer’s con
firmation so vigorously, and which was
only accomplished by a scratch, the
Democrats voting against the “rene
gade,” as they called him, almost solid
ly, with the exception of Senator Brown
and possibly one other; while a few Re
publicans couldn’t swallow him on ac
count of the “freshness” of his conver
sion.
If Judge Speer was a Simon-pure
Democrat when appo*nted, how is it
that he is now a dyed-in the-wool Re
publican? Did this conversion take
place from Democracy to Republicanism
as a consequence of the appointment, or
was the appointment in consequence of
his previous conversion? or perhaps the
Herald still regards Judge Speer as a
Democrat?
The prompt action of the majority of
the Alliance members of the Legislature
in stamping out the iniquitous stay law
ero it waa nurtured into living exist
ence, entitles that patriotic body to the
applauso of the entire commonwealth of
Georgia. Now, one more act and the
good deed can bo recorded. Let the
Alliance see to It that their fire is not
stolen from them by thd overburdened
Solons who are on the alert to get on
tho winning side of every Issue of the
hour. No, this Is an Alliance victory,
planned by an Alliance cauous, and won
by ca Alliance majority. The mug
wumps were not In It
Senator Butler in his able speech at
Prosperity, S. C., a few days ago, said:
41 Another step I would take to the settle
ment of the ’unevenness’ is this: Put
ten acres of cotton to tho mule for three
years. Let farmers do this and they
will have the world at their feet. They
would bo then the most prosperous peo
ple on the globe.” Of course his plan is
sensible and correct, and the farmers by
concert of action could make of it as
signal a success as they did of their
Tight against the jute trust.—Advertiser.
The sly Berner of Monroe was as quiet
as au antediluvian tombstone outlie stay
law bill until the result of the Alliance
caucus on the subject was known; and
the uext morning “the champion of the
dowu-tiodden measure” introduced the
following resolution: “Resolved by the
house of representatives of Georgia,
That it is the souse of the house that the
passage of a stay law would be unwise
and would bo detrimental to the best
interests of the state.”
Because of his promise that lion. Pat
Calhoun shall, be governor of Georgia
next term, Col. John Temple Graves is
being somewhat berated by the press of
the state. These ribald writers should
be careful. Col. Graves may be little,
but he la loaded and set on a hair trig

Here la a shot from the Gunn of the
Cuthbert Liberal-Enterprise: “Alii-
anccmen must learn that those of their
brethren who differ with them on some
points are not necessarily enemies of
the order.”
! contraction, when as a matter of fact
there ha- been a steady increase and not
a decrease of the currency.
The statement of the treasury depart
ment gives the amounts of money in cir
culation ou the first of July in the years
1800, i8*'»o, 1885, 1889 and 1891. The com-
parisons given show that not only the
f<»ral volume but the amount per capita
have gone on increasing during the
j i riod. It appears that the amount of
money in circulation in 1800 was about
$435,000,000, and the amount per capita
was $13.85. In 1805 there was $720,000,000
in circulation, and the per capita amount
was $20.82. Twenty years later the cir
culation was over $1,292,000,000, aud the
per capita was $23 02, while on January
1 last the amount was $1,529,000,000,
with $24.10 as the per capita allowance,
tlie highest in the history of the United
.States. Owing to shipments of gold to
foreign countries there has been a de
cline since January 1, 1891, not only in
the per capita amount, but the total cir
culation on the 1st inst., nolwitstanding
the overflow of gold, was about $1,500,-
000,000, and the amount per capita was
$23.37. Tlie condition here referred to,
however, is not a permanent one, and
the statistics of circulation at the end of
the year will doubtless show a contin
uance of the increase which has been
temporarily checked.
It is true that the national bank circu
lation continues to decline, but the total
amount of all kinds of money in circula
tion continues to increase. We learn
from Bradstreet’s that the twelve months
since August 1 of last year witnessed a
decline of about $17,000,000 iu the vol
ume of national bank notes. On the
other hand, the total circulation was in
creased by over $08,000,000. Of this in
creased circulation over $32,500,000 con
sisted of gold coin. There was an in
crease of nearly $3,500,000 in subsidary
sil/cr. There was a falling off in the
volume of gold certificates amounting to
about $10,700,000. Silver certificates,
on the other hand, show an increase of
about $8,500,000. About $43,000,000 of
treasury uotes were issued under the
act of July 14, 1800. The total circula
tion of all kinds on August 1 amounted
to $1,500,023,812.
The amount of money in circulation
U $24 per capita with a total circulation
of $1,500,000,000. We see no reason
why the total ahould not be $3,000,000,-
000, or a per capita circulation of $50,
but people who understand finance aud
commerce tell ua that it Is not circula
tion but credit that does the bualneaa of
the country. In other words, that 90
per cent of the business of the United
States is done on credit by means of
checks and exchange. So that It Is not
more money In circulation that the peo
ple need, but more confidence and more
credit
But, as we have said, we have no
doubt that the country needs more
money, but how are we of the south to
obtain this money from the government?
What have we to give in return for It?
It Is chimerical to think that the govern
ment will lend its money on cotton, corn,
wheat, oats, tobacco and land. The
idea is misleading and the hope is delu
sive. As a matter of fact it is nof more
money in circulation that the people
need, but more confidence and more
credit, more honesty and more private
and public faith.
The government must be restored to
first principles, and tho people of the
South must stand like a stone wall
against all the innovations of socialism
and communism that would pervert it
iuto a paternal government, destroying
the liberty of tlie citizen and the rights of
the states. Tlie government can be best
administered ami tLe prosperity of the
people soonest Restored by tlie return to
power of tlie Democratic party.
