Cotton, Wheat and Silver.
Atlanta Constitution.
There is a phase of the silver
question that is of vast interest and
importance to the cotton planters
of the south and the wheat grow
ers of the west. It is a phase, too,
to which they haye never given
fair and careful consideration. This
is the intimate relations which ex
ist between the price of silver and
the price of cotton and wheat. It
is only recently, indeed, that the
farmers of the south and west have
had an opportunity of studying for
themselves the practical operation
of these relations.
On the 12 of July the present
silver law was passed. The price
of silver bullion went up to $1.15
and $1.20. There was an immedi
ate response in the price of wheat,
which went np to $1.06 a bushel in
in Uhicago, and in the price of cot
ton, which sold for 11 cents a
pound. When the price of silver
declined to $1 an ounce, wheat de
clined from 15 to 18 cents a bushel,
and cotton went down to 9 and 9J
cents a pound.
This little episode might seem
to be very unimportant, and yet it
is full of meaning to those who
have cotton and wheat to sell. Let
us look into the matter a little. A
loss of 1\ cents a pound on a crop
of 8,000,000 bales of cotton, or 3,-
600,000,000 pounds, amounts to
$60,000,000 taken from the pock
ets of the planters. A loss of 15
cents a bushel on a crop of 400,000,-
000 bushels of wheat means a loss
of $60,000,000 to the furmers.
Here is the plain and practical
results of the attempt of our so-
called American statesmen to st
range our finances and our curren
cy tq suit the views of the British.
But this is not the whole result of
the engrafting of the British __poli-
cy on oar own. England demone
tized silver because her busiuess
men found it an easy and a practi
cable method To - swindle Indio,
Egypt and Ru.ssia. The United
StatesMollowed suit because, in
1873, the British influence was
paramount in the treasury depart
ment and in congress. The full
history of the demonetization
clause has never been written, but
enough of the facts.have leaked out
to show how British agents lobbied
it through.
England coins silver money for
India and Egypt. She buys the
bullion at a discount, and then
coins it at a gold value for her
eastern dependencies. She imports
two-thirds of her bread food, and
one of her most important indus
tries is the manufacturing and
handling of cotton. Silver has now
been demonetized in the United
States for seventeen years, andjdu-
ing each of those years England
has saved and the American pro
ducers of wheat and cotton have
lost on an average at least $125,-
000,000 on their crops.
The farmers of the west are be
ginning to open their eyes. This
silver question is by far the most
important that is now before the
country. It has been muddled by
the politicians, but at last the peo
ple are beginning to see clearly
where their interests lie. There is
but one solution of the silver ques
tion, and that is free coinage.
There is bat one remedy for the
financial stress that overtakes the
country every fall, and that i8 a
simple act placing silver bullion
on an equality with gold at the
government mints.
The arguments and protests of
the so-called financiers of the east
are not worth the wind required
to give them utterance. This is a
government of the people, and the
people are in favor of free silver.

Answer.—There is no rule for
compounding and applying of fer
tilizers that will give infallible re
sults. If the natural production
of the land be kfiown, . as in this
case, ia may be assumed that one
dollar’s worth of a properly com
pounded fertilizer will produce
fifty to seventy-five pounds, or
one and a half to two dollars worth
of- seed cotton. It will rarely pro
duce more, and often much less,
depending on the seasons, cultiva
tion, and largely on the character
of the soil. The larger the appli
cation, as a rule, the smaller will

pounds of a given fertilizers wilj
produce, on a given character of
soil, an increase of one hundred
pounds of seed cotton, it will not be
safe to assume that five hundred
pounds (5f the same fertilzer will
produce an increased yield of five
hundred pounds. But let us discuss
the formula to use: For fertilizing
purposes, a ton of cotton seed is
-equal—to about - oeven -hundred 1
poundsj;of cotton seed meal; and
two and a half tons of cotton seed
are equal to 1750 pounds of cotton
seed meal. Now, one hundred
pounds of cotton seed meal are
eqrial in commercial value to about
one hundred and twenty pounds of
good acid phosphate. So, then,
you would get for the two and a
half tons of seed a ton of mixed
meal and phosphate, containing
750 pounds of cotton Beed meal,
and 1,250 pounds of acid phos
phate. " A better proportion for
use for an application to your land
would be,’say, 1*300 pounds of acid
phosphate, 600 pounds of meal
and 200 pounds of muriate of pot
ash (or 200 pounds of hull ashes).
Eight hundred to 1,000 pounds of
the above mixture per acre would
probably bring the yield to one
bale, if a good year for cotton.
Wfe donbt if any material ad
vantage will follow from making
more than one application of the
fertilizer. Apply at bedding time
just before planting—one-third in
center furrow and one-third each
in each listing farrow.
from which he deduces the conclu
sion that Christ was not born in 754,
but in 749, after the foundation of
Rome, and therefore that 1890 is
1895. This opinion the professor
substantiates by what he takes to
be corroborative testimony of the
evangelists.
According to Matthew, Jesus
wns born toward the end of the.
reign of Herod the Great, and that
when Herod died Jesus was yet a
little child. Luke says that James
was born in the. year in which the
governor of Syria made the first
census iu Judea. In another place
lie says that John began to bap
tize iD the fifteenth year of tbe
reign of Tiberius Caesar, and’ in
that year baptized Jusus, who was
then 30 years of age. St. Luke
says that in Judea the first census
was made during the reign of Her
od; this census must have been or
dered in the year 746 of Rome.
Probably it was begun in Judea
in 747. Professor SattlerJJthinks
it was not made in Jerusalem ear
lier than 749. He finds that the
four ooins ennbled him toi—make
clear the testimony'of the evangel
ist as to the fifteenth year of the
Emperor'Tiberius. Though Au
gustus died Aug. 19, 767, the reign
of Tiberius must be counted from
a year and a half earlier, from
Feb., 766, when be was appointed
co-regent; therefore the fifteenth
year of Tiberias falls in 780, when
John baptized Jesus, who was then
about 30 years of age. .
One of tbe evangelists says that
Jesus began to preach forty-six
years'after the building of the tem
ple by Herod at Jerusalem.. Now
it is known that * the temple was
begun eighteen years after Herod
was appointed regent by the Ro
man senate, or in the year 734
from the foundation of Rome.
Adding forty-six to that it gives
780 as the year in which Christ be
gan to preach. If all these calcu
lations of Professor Sattler are cor
rect then the Christian era began
five years earlier than is usually
supposed.
In olden ’time the burial of a su
icide was characterized by impal
ing the body with a stake. Happi
ly nowadays- no such horrible
method of discountenancing the
act of self-slaughter is practiced,
though if it were and the virtual
-suicides included in tbe list with
the actual ones, staked graves
would be largely in the majority.
Virtual suicides in this connection
means that class of people who die
rather than save themselves by a
specific snch as Rsdam’s Microbe
Killer, which, according to respon
sible authorities, will cure all dis
eases if taken in time. Radam’s
Microbe Killer testimonials are
well worth -reading, and give hope
to the afflicted, who will find it to
their interest to send for circu
lars.

Mr. Blaine has not much repu
tation as a prophet, but Lbe can
very justly lay claim to more than
he has. In 1875, in arguing
against tbe counting of a quorum
by the speaker when a quorum had
failed to vote, he said: “The mo
ment when yon elotho your spaak-
er with power te go behind your
roll call, why, gentlemen, you
stand on the very brink of a volca
no.” Who shall say now that Mr.
Blaine was not right? The repub
licans diigive Speaber Reed the
power to go behind the roll call, a
power which he exersised remorse
lessly, and the voldano turned out
to be there, just as Mr. Blaine said
it was. It promptly went into
eruption, and nearly all the repub
lican members were buried under
the lava-tide of public inc(igujition

One kind of retentive memory
may be considered as the result of
sheer work, a determination to.
ward one particular achievement
without reference to either cultiva

by persons in human life in regard
to the Bible.
An old b9gger at Stirling, known
fifty years ago as “Blind Alick,”
afforded an instance of this He
knew the whole of the Bible by
heart, insomuch that if a sentence
was read to him be could name the
book, chapter, and verse; or if the
book, chapter and verse were
named he could give the exact
words.
A gentleman, to test him, re
peated a verse, purposely making
one verbal inaccuracy. Alick hes

passage was to be found, but atthe
same time pointed out the verbal
error.
- The same gentleman asked him
-to repeat the^nineteench verse of
the seventh chapter of the book of
Numbers. Alick almost instantly
replied: “Thereis no' such verse.
That chapter has only eighty-nine
verses.
Gassendi had acquired by heart
6,000 Latin verses, and in order to

“Um-no. You can sue her for
damages, though, and make the
figures as large as you please.”
“Damages. What for?”
“For robbing you of your hus

in reality.”
“And do you advise me to sue
her for money?”
“I do.”
“Then I’ll do it!” she exclaimed
vindictively. “I’ll make her pay

The supreme courP of North
Carolina has filed an opinion in an
important and novel case, a 810,-
000 damage suit, brought by J. T.
Youtfg, of Craven county, against
the Western Union Telegraph
Company. Last year Young’s wife
went to Greenville, S. C., and
there became severely ill. Her
husband was-telegrapbed feu,,but
the telegram was not delivered un
til six days later. Meanwhile Mrs.
Young died and was buried, Young
not knowing of either fact till all
was over. The superior court
overruled the demurrer of the
Western Union and held that the
actiou was properly laid, and that
the plaintiff was entitled to dam
ages. The defendant, without wait

appealed to the supreme court;
which sustains the opinion of the

and.wretcbed example. I leave to
my .parents a3 much sorrow as they

leave to my brothers and sistbrs as
much shame and mortification as I
could bring on them. I leave to
my wife a broken heart—a life of
shame. 1 leave to each of my
children, poverty, ignorance, a low
character, and the remembrance
that their father filled a drunkard’s
grave.” .
