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 the history of the govern- old bachelors with their celibacy, and to ! nu»ut pity old maids as if single bl^rfdnw.. j A .hurt lime .ince a .tatement was were a misfortune, yet maav married ! published from the treasury department people have seen tit to offer apologies for ; *t Washington, covering the amount of having entered into what lome profane I money in circulation for a period of wag has called the "holy bands of pad- thirty-one years.

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 ger. His nom-de-guerre may yet be 4 *Your Uncle Warwick.”—“Old Si.” 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.

The Americus banks come to the front and declare they are prepared for any rush that may come from the cotton j crop.—Schley County News. The Buena Vista Patriot wants the | legislature to do something that will en- force the laws already in existence be- ; fore passing any more uew ones. Tlie editor of the Fort Gaines Tribune is opposed to trusts. He says that that little business has already forced him to wear patched pants and go hungry. Mr. W. M. Kersh has leased the Fort Valley Enterprise to Mr. R. E. Cherry, recently of Albany, and has accepted a j position with the Atlanta Constitution. Sycamore, Irwin county, wants to be incorporated, and application has been made to the legislature to that effect. Sycamore lias a great future before it, and wants to get started off on the right track. The Beuna Vista Patriot wants a new hotel, and is urging the people to forma stock company aud build one on the burnt district. Several citizens have in dicated their willingness to take stock in the enterprise. The Georgia legislature is a fixture until after the Pied mout.’exposition, aud all the advice from tlie newspapers of the state cannot move them. Atlanta is an attractive town, especially to the average representative. Mr. Eugene Andrews of Houston county had a iuel with a negro last week,in which both used shot guns, and both were badly peppered with bird shot. The difficulty arose over a dis pute about road working, aud the negro fired the first shot. No serious results arc anticipated. Uncle Joe” Sou ter was over at the meeting Friday. He is in his 84th year, but his sight and hearing are good, and he has more activity than many men of half his age. He walks erect with the aid of a stick and ploughs every day.

White ladies and gentlemen are now* not compelled to mingle with the average negro at the depot and inhale the odors of onions, to bacco and bad liquor, as heretofore.— Cordelean. The Peeples bill which forbids the sale of liquor within three miles of any church or school house in the state, out side of Incorporated towns, has been signed by the governor and is now a law. This bill will close up very near every barroom In the sute outside of the cities and towns and is a victory for the pro hibitionists.
