BUTLER vs. STOKES.
THE OR4T SUB TRE1S.
HUT DEBATE.
The following id taken from the
Lancaster Enterprise (Alliance pa
per), We trust it will be read with
' oth interest and profit.
President Sligh in his remarks
d was a hopeful Sign to eee SO
:nany present j that it showed tbey
ara aa.tna aft0r tha trnth
were seeking after tbe trutb, and
bat tbe object of this discussion
vas to give tbetn intormation and
3e hoped tbey would give the clos
'at attention ; that it was not desir-
d to give tbe speakers applaofej
jut to give them an attentive beais
iug; to demonstrate tbat our brain
vas not in onr moutb nor our becle,
bat in our heads. There is differ
i nee ot opinion ou tbe sub-treaaury,
j nd bonest difference. Something
vas wrong somewhere, aud we want
to find the remedy. President
t.ligb's injunction was followed aK
uost to tbe letter.
TEESIDENT STOKE'S SPEECH,
President Stokes said : "I esteem
ed it a high privilege to meet with
citizens of this county, and to speak
to them. I am a native CaroliPian
and feel that every other Carolinian
n my brother and compatriot. I am
glad to meet with you aud give you
sucb conclusion as I have arrived at
in the study of the great economic
questions of tbe day. Tbis large
audience is a hopeful sign aud this
is to be an intellectual and quiet
presentation ot facts and arguments.
The Alliance has been criticised
very largely for not having its dis
cussions in public and I will only
roply to that that this audience to
bear tbis public discussion ot an Al
1 ance measure at tbe instance of an
Allianceman is sufficient answer.
So far as tbe Alliance is concerned
tbe State Alliance has settled this
question of the sub-treaeury plan
by adopting the Ocala platform
which embraces this demand. Tbe
Alliance is not opposed to"public
discussion. It has now settled its
family quarrel. Senator Butler was
invited to discuss this question by
myself as head of tbe Alliance in
this State. I bad expected to be
elsewhere and bad, expected Mr.
Livingstou to discuss this question,
but a Mr. Livingston is not here
oci account of inability to get here, I
'till take np the debate.
Ue trusted that the audience
would remember the instruction of
the County President and give both
speakers a careful hearing. With
this introduction he entered the dis
cagsion of the question.
He said the Alliance announced
r.s one of its demands the sub-treas
rry scheme by which non-perisba-l
le farm products are to be stored
ud treasury notes issued upon them
j,8 a basis. There are a good many
reasons I would submit in support
cf this scheme, but as my strength
vill not permit me to cover the
vbole ground, I shall only ssk your
attention to some of them.
Tbe first I would assign is admit
ted by all. finances and does not
reed elaborate argument, and that
i i that the circulating medium is in
8 afficient and needs to be increased.
Tbe second proposition I will sub
mit is tbat the price of commodities
Teai 8 a definite relation to the vol
ume of tbe circulating medium and
r ;gulate8 the price products will
bring when placed upon the market.
As authority fox this proposition I
would give Adam Smith, the father
o" political economy, JStuart, Mill,
Clay, Calhoun and 25 or 30 of the
a )lest writers on political economy.
Ii I were to look elsewhere for au-.
tl ority on thi$ point I would appeal
to tbe common sense of the farmers
to sustain it. He illustrated this
point by tbe man who had a horse
to sell that was worth $250 and if
here was only 150 with which to
buy it of course he could no: get full
value for tne hoi ge- If you cut tbe
circulating medium one-half you re
duce the price of commodities one
baif.
Second Not ouly does the cur
rency not bear the proper relation
to business, but it lacks one quality
which the Farmers' Alliance was
the first to promulgate and demand
and that ia the quality of elastici
ty. I might show itom a process of
reasoning that there was need of it.
During the tall season the eutire and
accumulated labor of tbe agricultu
rist for twelve months is to be mar
keted in three months. Even if tbe
volume of currency flowed in Us reg
ular channels it would not be suffi
cient to meet the exigencies of tbe
season- When we consider the fact
tbat tbe total circulating medium is
only $1,380,000,000 aud that six
corporations and ten men control
81,000,000,000 at auy time and pro
duce an abnormal coudition, waeee
tbe need of a flexible currency that
cau be controlled by tbe farmers.
The want of flexibility affects eve
rybody in business-
The purpose of this fecbeme is not
colely to benefit tbe farmers but the
principle is as broad as tbe country
fud I need only call tbe attention
of business men here to tbe cramp
d condition of the money maiket
in the fall. It is especially hurtful
t the farmer became be must labor
and wait 12 months before be can
put bis products on the market.
The men who control the money
know that, the vast amount of farm
prodacts must be marketed and
they .put the money out of tbe way
aud the farmer must sell npon a
falling market. It is not designed
to raise tbe price of farm prt ducts
but to protect against this abnor.
mal condition of things.
There are three classes of produ
cers : The miners, manufacturers
and agriculturists. Only the agri
culturist is a drodocer in the strict
sense of the the term. He plants
oue bushel of grain and harvests
ten. xhis represents an actual cre
ation of nine bushels.
There are two ways of evening np
things when they are unequal to
subtract from tbe larger or add to
the smaller.
Men who own United States bonds
har a epeoial privilege of deposit
ing these with the government and
having money issued upon them as
a basis ot security. We date not
take away that privilege, for it
would deprive ns of the whole basis
of the circulating medium, Pand the
only thing left for us to do is to ex.
tend that privilege and put the far
mer npon an eqnal footing. Some
argue tbat it is unfair to the other
two classes of producers, but as I
have shown they are not producers
in the strict sense of the term, and
then they can put their products
npon the market every month in the
year. They are protected both by
natnral law and by state law.
Tbis sub-treasury scheme is to
put the farmer upon tbe same foot
ing as others, provided always they
can give as good security. Mr
Stone, editor of a New York com
mercial paper, admits the need of a
nore elastic money while not en
corsing tbe Farmers Alliance ideas.
He proposes State Banks of issue
under proper restrictions.
The objection to this plan, how
ever, is that the same men who con
trol the currency would still control
it . I io not elajm him, as has been
reported, as a con vert to the sub
treasury plan, but his idea as to
tie need of an elastic currency is
t ie same advocated by the Farmers7
Alliance, under tbe same of a flexi-,
ble currency. He is credited as
being one of tbe best authorities on
finance. We are not wedded to the
8u0ftreasury plan. We would wel
co cue anything tbat will give tbe
needed relief.
Some one asked for an explana
tion of the term flexibility. Dr.
Stokes replied that flexibility means
such a quality of currency as, when
the produce comes to be marketed
will be increased and run along
parallel with tne demands, and will
never go ueyona mem, ana win
theieby remove the evils of contrac
tion. I have proved the currency is in
sufficient and needs to be more elas
tic. Now how are these two needs
to be supplied First, by the issue
of "fiai" money, which is based on
nothing but the power of the Gov-,
eminent to pay. He claimed tba1:
Calhoun in his great speech of 1837
advocUed the idea of 4fiat" money.
One abjection to currency of this
character is that it has no basis but
the power of the Government to
tax.
Tbe only other plan is a paper
currency based upon somethiug of
value. We have already gold and
3ilver certificates and National Bank
cotes. There is no chance of in
creasing the currency from these
sources. Already sixty millious of
;old have been taken out of the
wuutry in order, as I believe, to
prevent tbe Government from re
leeming the bonds which fall due in
September.'
It ali the gold and silver available
Tere co'ned into mouey, it would
ot increase tbe currency more than
ne dollar per capita per annum,
-ud at this rate it would require
nty years to reach the per capita
.t circulation which we demand.
What remains as the bais for tbe
mue of an increased volume of cur-,
lency T 1 can see nothing else save
t lone lands and products of the
( luntry. Some other basis may de-
v iod alter awhile, and it thev no
nd prove better the Farmers' Alli
ance is bound to accept them. Ob
jections to State banks of issue is
tbat the notes of such banks would
rot circulate at par, perhaps, in
ether States.
I just wish to ask why the farmer
should be discriminated against.
The producer of Bilver and gold de
posits his product in tbe warehouse
or tbe treasury, and has money is
sued on it. Then why should not
the farmer deposit his wbite staple
in the warehouse and have issued
on it.
Dr. Stokes spoke about one hour
in nis opening ana was giveu an
atteutive hearing.
SENATOR BUTLER'S SPEECH.
Senator Butler wan then introduc
ed and spoke as follows :
Mr. Chairman, fellow citizens and
ladies of Newberry county. A
voice in tbe crowd, "Dou'c leave oat
Edgefield, there are some ot ns here.
Butler continuing. "I have seen a
good mauy ot you here to-day. j
join most heartily m tbe express
ions which have fallen from the dia
t ngnished speakers who have pre
ceded me in expressing my gratifi
cation and satisfaction tbat all tbe
psople of this county, farmers, mer
oiants, professional men and labors
i.ig men, are awakening and taking
a deep and profound interest in pubi
lie affaics. Agitation never alarms
me. Wben younger, ;I rather liked
i! ; and now I welcome with gratifi-
cition tbe fact tbat tbe people all
over tbis state and country are wa
k ngup and taking a deep interest
it i their public affairs.
My experience has been tbat
whenever a question is argued
f: irly and truthfully before tbe peo
p e they generally decide right, and
therefore I reciprocate cordially the
8 ntiments which have fallen from
tl e gentlemen who have preceded
rre. J want nothing but tbe light
a id nothing but tbe truth, and the
p ople of South Carolina want noth
it but that, and with nothing else
w .11 tbey be satisfied. I supposed
wien I accepted this invitation that
it was to address the people of this
C( men unity upon what is known as
tt e sub-treasury scheme of the Al.
!i nee, tbat I would be confronted
w ch an array of argument in favor
ol it tbat would put me to my
tr imps to meet, but after bearing
tt a address of my friend I will say
tc him what one of his brother Al
ii; ncemen said to me after an hour's
cc iversation on the train tbe other
df y. He said, 'Senator Butler, we
ar ) not so far apart after all.1 I
yi Id to my friend in ibe main all
tb t he has demanded on behalf of
th i Alliance except what he chooses
to state as the sub-treasury plan of
th Alliance. I propose to take is
su witn mm in some ot ois econom
ic views some of his enunciations
of doctrine of political economy. I !
do not know for instance tbat I
could agree with him in bis saying
thtt the relation which tbe current
cy of the country occupies to prod,
ucc.i regulates prices. I do not
know that that is sound doctrine.
No doubt it has something to do
with it, but there is another factor
which plays an important part in
tbe matter of price and tbat is the
question ot supply od demand. If
we had not made 8 million bales of
cottou last year cotton woald bring
it higher price. Why? Because
t 16 supply was greater than the de
raod. If there is ; large corn crop
i : tbis country it is going down in
I -ice because the supply is greater
t .an the demand. Sa with refer
c ice to a large wheat crop,the iden
tical reason applies. It is true uot
c ily of agricultural product?, but it
i true ot mining, pig irou and man
l acruring products. One advant
S;la that the maoulactarer has over
t.e farmer is this, when they find
b 7 their production ot the manutac
t ; red article that they have more
t an they can secure remunerative
piices for, they shut down and stop
w nk. So it is in the mining, stocks
raising aud every department of
lite. The question of supply aud dei
mind has something to do with it.
Jos. L. Keitt inteuupted Senator
B ltler with this question : "Does
the rule ot supply and demand ap
pi? to money as well an products 1"'
Senator Butler : '-Yes, I answer
ed a tbcusand times yes." Voice,
"Go ahead Senator, you are right.''
It is claimed by those who are
opposed to free coinage of silver, by
th)sewhoare opposed to the in
crease of the currency per capita in
this country tbat 90 per cent, of tbe
business of the country is done by
chdck, that is to say if I owe you
1100 1 give you a check for it, you
owe another man tbat amouut and
transfer the check by endorsement
to him and perhaps before the check
gees to the bank for redemption it
may have paid a 1,000 debt. That
argument when first presented to
me by an opponent of tbe free coin
age of silver ratner struck me dumb
for a momeut. I said my friend
thit is a deceptive aud misleading
argument, in tbis that a mau who
can give a check must have a bank
account.
How many millious of people in
tbis country who have never seen a
brnk, but who transact tbeir busi
ness by actual delivery of tbe nionc
ey. Such an argument will uot
at ind the test of analysis. I said
to him that tbe argument advauced
tbat we have $22 per capita in tbis
country is also a mistake and mis
le iding. According to the highest
es.imate made mere is but one bil
lic n five hundred million currency
al told in this country for tbe tran
saction of the business of Gj million
people: That puts it about $22 or
23 per capita. And when I got
up iu the Senate and demanded to
kcow bow much of tbat $22 per
capita is stored away in tbe U. S.
treasury and tbe banking institn
tk ns for redemption purposes and
net in circnlation to tbey said ther
could not tell exactly. One Senator,
a Republican, made an estimate and
re meed the circulatiou to about COO
mllliou. I think he was too low.
My estimate is tbat there is about
$16 per capita in circulation. I
agree with my friend that there is
something wrong. The question is
to tiod out what's the matter ; to
difguose the case correctly. I think
thr.t the difference between me and
my friend on the sub-treasury mat
ter is that they are treating tbe
wrong organ, and the remedies that
th( v suggest are not the remedies
to jure the patient.
do not denounce every man who
is ia favor of tbe old sub treasury as
a f .ol, aud I do not waut any one
to tio denounce me because I am
opposed to it. We all have a com
mo t interest and cau't afford to al
low an intolerance of difference ot
opi iion. I have brought with me
offi ;ial cr pies of the bills which wt-re
iut'odnced. I understand my friends
to fiiy that tbe bills are not under
discussion, that the hui'treat.ury is
une'er discnsioo. Ho v in the name
of 1 eaven am I to get at tbe plan
anl.-FsIread tbe bill ? It 13 tbe
bill I am opposed to ; my oonsciene
and my judgement will not permit
me to approve of it.
Before I proceed to discuss the
bills before me, I will indulge in a
fer preliminary remarks as to tbe
structure, scope and power of this
popular form of government of ours,
there is not a man iu this vast au
dience who has not within his na
ture a principle amounting to an in
stinct, of borne rule and local self
government.
Senator Bailer then went into a
discussion of self-government aud
t re rights of the State, and instinct
t at wonld not allow interference
v itb local domestic affairs. The ap
plication of this principal was made
t)show the relation that the Feds
e-al and State governments sustain
t oach other, and argued tbat this
bill offorded that doctrine iu his
judgment the doclriue opou which
the very bed rock aud foundatiou
upon which our popular govern
ment is built, and, said tbe Senator
"tbe more you encroach upon it the
more do you threateu tbe pi enerva
tion and tbe ptrpetui y ot popular
government and institution."

Talbert iuturrupting a'd : "Vance

Butler; "I will come to tbe un

Butler: "If I am not driving a
