The price of wheat is low, the prices of corn, oats, potatoes, apples are low, with a downward tendency. The price of cotton is ap,. with an. upward tendency. Last year there was a short crop of corn and pota toes, with prices in proportion, and a large crop of cotton, with prices in proportion. .The smaller the crop the higher the price, the larger the crop the lower the price. . , Thr is sr.arcelva vear'that does not present object lessons like these, for there is scarcelya year that there isn't a shortage m some ot the crops with corresponding decrease in'the prices if the shortage be sufficient to reduce the supply below the demand for consumption. And yet there are people who never learn anything from these ob ject lessons.) Some of these con tend that low prices have nothing to do with production, and that there is no such thing as overproduction. These contoand the possible demand and the needs of the world with the actual demand aBd the capacities of the world to buy. If the former alone were considered there never was and never will be overproduc tion of anything' that mortals eat or wear, for the human family as a nrhnlo I Viae nAr hpn half fori nor half clothed. If the latter be con sidered there is often overprodnc - tion, and scarcely a year that there Vis not overproduction In something, especially in a country like ours where so many are employed in producing, aided as they are by labor-saving machinery 'which in definitely, increases their capacity for production. The denier of over production contends, that low prices are the result of too little money in circulation, while the opponents of this theory contend that it is not the , the surplus of the things to sell that puts prices down. Both are right and both are wrong. They are right when they keep within certain limits, and when they get beyond tnese they are wrong. Theories do not hold good in the presence of facts which show ao-ainst them, arid w - w there is no man with sense enough to go in out of the rain who does not know that prices are governed by the demand, and the demand by the capacity to buy. The world -uses twice as much cotton, twice as much wool, twice as many shoes, &c, as it did half a century ago. Why ? Not because cotton goods, woollen goods and leather covering for the feet are more-necessary now than they were half a century ago, but because the invention of. machinery has made it possible to produce these things at a cost which bears no comparison with the cost of half a century ago, thus enabling a greater number of people to buy them, thus greatly increasing the demand. If prices had remained the same, and the capacity to buy had increased in proportion to the reduction in cost, the demand would have increased as much, perhaps, as it has in consequence of the reduced cost, which is simply another way of increasing the capacity to buy. In other words, there is as much rela tion between prices and the volume of money in circulation not in the vaults, but in actual circulation as there is between the volume of pro duction and prices, and even more. The man who receives a large In come spends money more freely, even in proportion to his income, than the man whose income-is small, because he earns his money easily, he does not set the same value on it, and does not look forward to the day when he may be compelled to put a higher value upon it. The . mechanic who .. earns three or four dollars a "day spends money more, freely than the laborer who can earn "only a dollar a day and can indulge in comforts that a dollar a day wouldn't touch. The farmer who gets a dollar a bush el for his wheat will spend more money than if he got but fifty cents, not simply because he gets more? for liis wheat, but because getting more he sets less value upon it and parts with it more freely ; and so will the planter who gets ten cents a pound for his cotton spend more money with the merchant and others than when he ge s seven cents for his cotton. Thus, when money becomes abundant people become more lib eral to themselves and with others, prices go up even when production increases, and every one Is benefitted. The way to keep production down is to keep the capacity to consume up, for as the capacity to consume in creases with the capacity to buy, there will be proportionately "less surplus, and. if the... capacity to buy were increased the world over, there would be. no danger at all of over production, for taking the world as a whole, the number pf producers is small compared with the. number of consumers. V ', . V' The greater the volume of money; the less it is valued ; the less it is valued the less it is hoarded, and the less it is hoarded, the more it per forms the function of .money.' The coin hid away in a vault or in a stocking is to : all intents and pur poses nothing but a pice of metal, which performs no more service than a piece of junk, and is really no part of the currency at all, although it is, counted in the financial statistics, f - ; .That country is the. wisest finan-" cier which measures the capacity of its people to. use money and having estimated that provides them with a volume of currency commensurate with that capacity, and a currency so constructed that it will not be ab sorbed by other nations, but will re main with them . France is the only nation on the earth that does this, and France, is in consequence the most prosperous, and self dependent nation on the earth. The United States ought to be and would be if the financiers who shape our finan cial policy had half the foresight and sagacity shown by the men who shaped the financial policies' of France. What we ' need is more money, not less money. There is every danger of having too little we have too little now no danger of having too much. When we ap proach that danger line the good sense of the American people will call a halt. . HOBOS MEHTIOH. The prospective low price of corn the coming winter in the Western States where fuel is scarce and high is leading to the discussion of burn ing it instead of coal, as has been done in other years when the surplus of corn was large. In some portions of the West, where there is little tim ber the people depend upon coal im ported from other States. In Kan sas, for instance, this coal costs from $6 to $9 a ton. t When corn is worth 25 or 30 centsa bushel at Chicago, the farm price would be about 12 or 14 cents. Corn is bulky and at a low price will not bear shipping far. It is estimated that corn pound for -pound with coal will give out more heat than coal and that a ton of corn at 14 cents a bushel would cost only M as compared with from $6 to. $9 for coal, in addition to which the farmer has his corn al ready on the spot while he would be at the labor and expense of hauling bis coal from the railroad stations. It looks like doing the wrong thing to burn corn, but if it fakes two tons of corn to buy one ton of coal and one ton of corn is equal in heat-giving properties to one ton of coal, and in other respects superior, as a matter of business the thrifty farmer would burn corn. It is said that a promi nent operator on the Chicago Board of Trade has offered to supply one of the elevated roads in that city with corn for fuel for its engines, and to forfeit $10,000 if he can't furnish it for less than its supply of coal costs. - . ' - Some time ago a Birmingham, Ala., firm, bidding against the world, secured a contract for iron piping for sewers' In the city of Tokio, Japan, and it has just been an nounced thai a firm in Bessemer, Ala., has secured the contract for piping for the city of Honolulu, which will require something over 20,000 tons. The presumption is that this was in competition with the world, too, as it is not likely that so large a contract would have been - given out without Inviting bids from many manufacturers. Recently a Birmingham firm made a contract with the Carnegie Company at Pitts burg for the delivery of a large amount of pig-iron for steel making purposes, the first Southern iron sold in the North for that purpose. These are but a few instances that might be mentioned going to show that Southern iron manufacturers are successfully-competing with rivals at home and abroad, and are making such progress as promises a bright future for the iron industry of this section, which is as yet but in its in fancy. ... r South Carolina has enjoyed the distinction of being the one State without a divorce case on its records, and it seems determined to maintain that enviable distinction, as shown by the large vote in the convention against recognizing divorce for any cause. With a significant emphasis it sat down on the proposition to in directly encourage divorce by refus ing to recognize the divorce laws of other States, which applies, we sup pose, to divorces secured in other States by citizens of South Carolina. This is intended to prevent peo ple j who may be dissatisfied with their marital relations from going to and temporarily sojourning in those States and Territories where di vorces are granted with "secrecy and dispatch," and'then returning free to form other alliances. South. Caro lina has recently done things that do hot add mUch to her prestige or fame, but in this she has done honor to herself and set an example that might be at least partially followed by those States where the effort seems to have been to make divorces easy instead of difficult. The Farmers', and Citizens' Bank of Pawnee, Oklahoma, suspended the other day, with liabilities of $50,000 and cash left $25. At last accounts- a mob of, depositors was hot on the track of the fugitive cashier withthe intention of suspending . htm if they caught tyra. ' ',' . .' ; WrCn: Tohn C.

When such men die they sel dom leave anyone to fill their place. .Some people may think there is not much in a name, but the young duke of Marlborough found that there was an American girl and about $13,000,000 in it for him. It is said that it costs Spaih$50, 000 a month to supply her army in Cuba with quinine.

I find that but few have paid the tax. You should see that every dealer in pianos or organs pays the tax.

Those who ex change for organs or pianos, and trade in them, are clearly liable for tfce tax. . You are not a law-maker, hut ft is your duty to execute the laws thajt are made. and if they appear to be hard and bur densome, that does not excuse you from executing them. It is your duty to see that all pay the tax that the law imposes Any one carrying on business in your county who has not complied with this -law, should be proceeded against as tbe law demands. - ! 1 Respectfully. &c.

Sixty Bishops at the Triennial Conference of the Chnroh in Minneapolis. By Telegraph to the Moraine Star Minneapolis. Minn., Oct. 2. Tbe celebration of Holy Communion, with which the Triennial Conference Episco pal Church was ushered in this morning, was ' tbe most imposing ever wit nessed in a church of that denom inatlon on this continent. Sixty Bishops attired investments of snowy white, with hoods of scarlet, purple and blue, occupied the Chancel of St. Geth- semane, brilliantly illuminated with can dles and fragrant with floral offerings The galleries were filled with the wives and daughters of the visitors. Within fifteen minutes after formal organization of the- House of Deputies had been effecsed this afternoon, the call to arms for tbe prospective great battle over the revision of the constitu tion and canons of the Protestant Epis copal Church in tbe united States was sounded. Rising from beside J. Pier- pout Morgan, the ' New York financier and head of the recent bond syndicate, Dr. .ugene A. flonman, ot the same city.made the announcement that the commission appointed by tbe General Convention of 1892 had completed its task and a certified copy of its report had been laid upon the secretary's table. There was a note ot defiance, if not of challenge in his tone as be proceeded to move a formal resolution that the re port be made a special order for Thurs day morning, and! that it continue in the same status, day by day, until final disposition had been made of it. Ap parently taken off its guard, the opposi won was aoout to jet tne .resolution go tnrougb without comment, when a dele' gate jn the rear of the church made in qutry. as to whether any substantial change had been made in the report as printed ana circulated. To this Dr. Hoffman gave a positive negative. What alterations bad been made, be said, were purely verbaL. j' : Then Dr. Fulton, of Philadelphia editor ot tbe Lhurch-btandard. desired to know explicitly whether, in adopting tne resolution, the Convention bound or comitted itself to a full and detailed discussion of the report or whether to morrow or aay day it could do with the document as it sa fit. -' .. - - Upon this,' the ruline was made - bv Chairman Dix, thai once the report, was mace a special order tor a fixed time the Convention could either, proceed to its con8ideration.or dispose of it by par liamentary method, This was satisfac tory to the opposition and the resolution was unanimously approved, i - - To-morrow; according to the present programme, a determined effort will be made to pigeon-hole the report by re ferring it to the General Convention of 1893, and some fervid oratory, pro and con may be expected. - " ; . - Outside of this episode the proceed ings of the session were of a purely rou tine nature. .... j. . - -. . ;. . .. ;'' ELECTION IN GEORGIA; v."

CONVENT ON Cams Near Passing a Womati'n Quffags - Amendment to the constitution. , Bt Telegraph to the Meriting Star, Columbia, Sept. 80. This has been the first day since the Constitutional Convention that the calendar was even nearly through. It has been distinctly a routine day in every sense of the word. Two more articles, those on the impeachments and amendments, neither loaded with any dynamite, passed the third reading. The rest of the day was devoted to sections of the report of the committee on miscellaneous matters. Everything calculated to bring about a fight was passed over. The matter oi divorces will probably come up to-night The convention came dangerously near passing a woman's stiff rage clause this morning before realizing what it meant. but the trouble was seen in time.
