THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER: JANUARY 26. 1892 CAORRELING A CRANK. How an Ex Member of the State Legislature Called Mr. Maxson Down Upon State ments Made in Regard to the Amount of Money in Circulation. I Mr. C. B. Maxson is editor of the Alliance Leader, at Belmont, N. Y. After Mr. Maxson had spoken for aearly two hours upon the different principles of the Order, he gave his audience the privilege of asking ques tions, as it always added interest to a meeting and was a source of education, and tended to bring out thought and ideas upon the questions at issue, upon which a gentleman in the audience aroi-e and said: Mr. Maxson, did I understand you that supply and demand had nothing to do with the prices of farm products? My dear sir, I can't say what you understood mo to say, but I did say that consumption had very little to do with fixing the price of farm products. Exactly the same thing. Now, sir, will you bo pleased to state to thisaudi dience, what it is that fixes the price f wheat? Certainly, with pleasure ; the specu lators, stock jobbers, and gamblers of Wall street and Chicago. Well, to a certain extent, yes, but what are the prices bottomed upon? Most certainly by the amount of the ommodity these sharks can get into their hands and control. And now in this connection, allow me to ak you a question. Did the demand of the con turners have any thing to do with fix ing the price of .wheat when old "Hutch," of Chicago, cornered it, and made mil ions of dollars in a few week's time? Well, if you put it in that light of course the speculator has a considerable to do with it, but don't you suppose the foreign dem mds will have nothing to do with fixing the price of it this reason? It may fix the price to the specula tor; but will you answer this question? With millions of people starving in Europe, aud the price of wheat in Liverpool $1 35 per bushel, why is it a fact that the farmer in Minnesota get3 less for the best hard white than he did one year ago? I can't answer it. Then I will answer it for you. It is limply because the speculator can by the aid of our present financial con dition (that is a scarcity of money.) and in connection with the grasping, avaricious, money loaners, take advan tage of the necessities of the farmer and force him to sell at their dictation, and the railroads are ever ready to help crush the h nd that feeds them. Is there auy other question, you wuld like to ask? Well, yf s, there is. I understood you to state that there was less money in circulation to day than ever before in the history of the nation? Yes. sir; less than $10 per capita in actual circulation. Well, now I think the people here will bear me out in saying the Secretary of the Treasury is better authority than yourself. Doubtless. Well sir, I have the last report of the Secretary, in which he says that there is more than $23 per capita, and more than there ever was in the history of the nation. Now, we will be pleased to have you show us how you will get around this statement. Remember I take this report of the most conclusive evidence, but I see you are one of those slippery little cusses, and I have a curiosity to know how you are going to crawl out of this corner. Laughter. Well, now my dear sir, I wa3 not aware that I was inclined that way. I have never been accused of slipping out of an argument. Now please read over the items in your report. What comes first? Well, he' savs that there is in the country, $l,G7G,078,102, of which $200, 000,000, belongs in the treasury, and about $1,550,000,000 was in circulation, which would make about $23 per capita instead of less than $10 as you say. Now as you say I am slippery, I will let no less a personage than the Hon. Mr. Plum, of Kansas, answer this ques tion as he will be accepted as good au thority I think. But first does jour secretary attempt to state how much money is hoarded up by private indi viduals, and kept out of circulation? No, sir. Does your report state how much gold and silver, or gold is lost, de stroyed and worn out by abrasion since the foundation of the government? No. Does your report state how much more gold has been taken out of the country in the last year (you know it is'over 50 millions) more than has been received? No. he says nothing about that. No. I suppose not. Did he say any thing to you about where you could find that little sixteen million of frac tional currency, that he mentions as being in circulation? No, I think he did not mention that. Yes; well, I suppose he did not acci dentally drop a word in regard to the fact that the State and National bank had to keep from 15 to 25 per cent, of their circulation in reserve, which amoun s to about $600,000,000, and of course if this i held in the banks, it cannot bo in actual circulation. Did he mention that fact to you? No, I can t say that he did; but you are assuming things that you cannot substantiate. Very well ; we'll let Mr. Plumb, of Kansas, maice his statement. Here is what he said in a speech in June, 1&90. This was taken from the Congressional Record. Listen : In Jun, 1890, Mr. Plumb, after set ting forth, among other points,, that National banks and others always hold out of circulation as a reserve, about $000,000,000. said in the Senate: 4 'Let us see, therefore, how much money is available for actual use among the people. From the total of 11,560 000,000 arrived at as above, must bo deducted an average of $26,- 000,000 which the treasury always keeps on hand, and about which some thing has heretofore been said in the debate on this bill, and that leaves as the maximum which can by any pos sibdity be used $1,300,000,000. There ought in fairness, to be de ducted from this $150,000,000 errors in estimate of gold in the country, which would reduce the money outside the treasury to $1,150,000,000. From this to be subtracted $600,000,000 kept as a reserve, as before computed, leaving a balance of $550,000,000 which is for de livery or use in the transaction of the business of all the people, or a trifle over eight dollars per capita. But the force of the argument is not materially weakened by conceding the gold coin to be estimated by the treasury depart ment which would leave in actual cir culation $700,000,000. In order to make up this amount all debt must be solved in favor of the treasury and against the people, but the doubt as to the amount of lost and destroyed notes and that as to the gold supply, if I were deciding this case upon what I con sider the best evidence, I would be bound to say that I believed the money in actual circulation did not much, if at all exceed $500,000,000." Novv, you see, he gives a liberal esti mate, and allows 550,000,000 in circula tion, and ends up by sayiDg that he believes there is not much over 500, 000,000. Now, my dear sir, who is slippery, Mr. Plumb, or myself? Well, it's a kind of slippery question, anyway. But here is another state ment I want cleared up, and that is this: You claim that in 1861-65 there was $52 per capita, while Mr. Horr, in the New York Tribune, says there was less than $25, and the Secretary bears him out in the assertion. How do you account for this? Does Mr. Horr and the Treasurer falsify and misrepresent? I would not charge either of the gen tlemen with falsehood and willful lying, but this we do know, that they are both in the employ of the money ower and must do their bidding or ose their job. Now here are two facts which experience has taught us. First, that when we have had a large volume of money in circulation we have in variably had good times. Second, that when we have a large amount of money in circulation the banks cannot get as good terms for the use of their money; hence their reason for opposing a larger volume of money. Now we know that the best tirnos we ever had ia this nation was from ISGi until 186S. Not wishing us to use or pjint to these times as a result of inflated currency they seek to show that there was less money in circulation than at the pres ent. It is simply a slick subterfuge and an evat-ioti of the facts, a sin of omission rather thau commission. I don't know that I understand you. Well, so far as they go, they give a correct estimate of the amounts in cir culation in so far as they go, but they leave out of the computation the 7-30 coupon bonds. But, my dear sir, those notes were not money, they were interest bearing bonds and did not circulate as money. You certainly, cannot count those m as the currency of the nation. Oh, no, you are away off there. Now, my friend, don't get excited; keep cool. Did yo i ever see a national bond? Ye-?, sir ; lots of them. Were they a legal tender? No, sir; not one of them. If they had been you would natur ally suppose that they would circulate as money, would you not? Why, certainly, any fool would know that. Yes. Well, do you see this book? Yes ; it is the national loans of the United State from July 4, 1776, to June 30. 18S0. You would pronounce this good au thority, would you not? Yes, sir; the best of authority. Now, will you please turn to page 87? What doe3 the table upon that page show? It shows the amount of 7 30 notes issued under the act of June 30, 1864, and March 3, 1865, in denominations of $50, $100, $1,000 and $5,000. The whole amount i-sued was $829,992,500. Now will you please bear in mind that these were called treasury notes? Now turn to the opposite page, com mencing with the middle of the sixth line of section two; what does it say? It says: "And such of them as should be made payable, principal and interest, at maturity, shall be a legal tender to the same extent as United States notes for their face value, ex clusive of interest." Very 'good. Now please skip down to the bottom of the page on the sixth line from the bottom of the nexo to the last paragraph. It commences: "He was gratified" to find " This is a portion of the report of Sec retary Fessendenl Yes. He was gratified to find that these notes were taken in payment to a large amount Our gallant soldiers in many instances not only receiving them with alacrity, but expresing their satisfac tion at being able to aid their country by loaning mon -y to the government. The whole amount thus disposed of ex ceeded 20,000.000, and the Secretary has great satisfaction in stating his be lief that the disposal thus made was not only a relief to the treasury but proved a benefit to the recipients in uffording them a safe and valuable in vestment, and an eas: mode of trans mitting funds to their families. Now'if you should read the next para: graph you will find where Secretary McUulloek, in his annual report, dated Dec 4, 1865, says that the experiment of circulating these notes was in the highest degree satisfactory. He says these notes were distributed in every part of the North and in some parts of the Southern States. And he had been able, owing to the ease that they had been put into circulation, to meet all the requisitions of the treasury. And there were nearly $S30,0 0,000 worth of these notes. My dear sir, who do you think has bt en the most slippery in re gard to these statt ments, myself or the agents of the money kings Mr. Horr ; and Mr. Foster? But let us look just a little farther. In August, 1876, the 5 Hon. T. E Spinner, Treasurer of the United States, in a letter to John G. Drew, said: "I have to say that the 7-30 notes were intended, prepared, issued and circulated as money." Well, sir, I have not time to talk with you any farther upon this subject. I believe you have the preponderance of evidence. Well, my friend, it is within the memory of every man over 50 years of age in this room, that these notes did circulate as money after the war closed, and that the soldiers sent them home from the army. I would like to ask every man in this audience who can remember back that far, and who can call to mind those little coupon bonds, that were sent home by the soldiers and were used as money, please to rise to your feet. Ah, I see there are about thirty in this little audience, that has not forgotten. Now. your honor, are you satisfied? Are you willing to ad mit that there are people that can stoop to use their high position as an officer of the people to deceive them, and help to fasten the chains of indus trial slavery upon them? There is one thing that you ought to state, and that is that the greater ma jority of those bond3 were large de nominations. How many of the five thousand dollar coupons bonds . did these gentlemen see in those days? That is a very proper and pertinent question, and I will answer it by asking you and your friends present, how many of the $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 gold certificates "that your secretary speaks of " do you see in circulation to day? Do some of you farmers happen to have any of them about your clothes? If so, !et us feast our eyes upon one. Laughter. Not any. Not any among the men who produce the wealth of the nation. Well, let us hope that the time may come when at least a one hundred dol lar "William," will not be an entire stranger to the average farmer of this great nation. A GRAVE DANGER Confronting the Bright Tobacco Section of the East Over Production Will Demoralize the Interests of the Grower and the Manufacturer. For five years this paper has watched closely the spread of bright tobacco growing in the Eastern part of this State and in the Northeastern section of South Carolina. The extension of the industry has been gradual but cer t lin, and the results of tobacco grow ing compared with cotton raising have been so favorable that within the past twelve months there has been more activity along this line than dur ing any throe years previous We hav e watched the progress of the in dustry without sounding any note of alarm, thinking that the culture of the weed would be confined to this State, and perhaps a small area in South Car olina. But this last cotton crop was such a miserable failure so far as price was concerned that many planters in all sections of the South are looking to the tobacco crop for relief. Bo far as the Journal ia personally concerned the extension of the to bacco industry means more subscribers for us, but putting aside all selfish con siderations we see in the over produc tion of tobacco a grave mistake to the farming interests of the South. We cannot illustrate what we mean better than to refer to cotton growing as a case in po nt. So long as the out put was 6,000.000 bales annually or less the price was well sustained and the cotton planter made some money, but so 60on as the production went be yond 8,OUO,000 bales, as it did this year, the price quickly went below the cost of production. The product of East ern tobacco last year was something like 146,000,000 pounds, and the aver age price less than 11 cents per pound. According to statistics it cost 8 cents per pound to grow tobacco, leaving less than 3 cents per pound profit on the entire crop, Suppose this crop is increased to 200,000,000 pounds per year, and where will the price stand? The general average will fall in direct proportion and we will find the aver age to be less than 7 cents per pound, which is fully one cent per pound be low the cost of production. These are figures which argue the case for U3, and cannot be disputed. But this is not all. In the older to bacco sections the planters are already prepared to manage tobacco crops. They have their barns, their imple ments of culture, and the experience which is absolutely necessary. In the new sections, where the farmers con template tobacco growing, this is all different. They have their barns to build, which are expensive, and they are compelled to employ experienced labor, which also costs. These make a heavy outlay to begin with. By the time they have learned to manage to bacco growing themselves, and gotten ready to make money, after heavy out lays, the chances are that prices will come down below the production, and it is easy to see the dilemma in which the planter will be placed. We candidly say to those who con template going into tobacco growing in new sections : go slow- It is ribky. If you do engage in tobacco growing, plant sparinglv, and try to make the best that your land will produce. But if you must quit cotton growing, see if you cannot find some other crop that is surer to pay than tobacco. A general stampede to tobacco growing in the South is certain to lower prices, and they need not fall much more to get below the cost of production. Winston Tolacco Journal. Alliance men and all connected with the Alliance should not in the least have any feeling of disheartenment or think of taking their hand from the plow and looking back. Of course we will sometimes hear that the ''Alliance is playing out here and there, but do not believe any such thing! It is a grand and just cause, and those who are striving to annihilate it root and branch are the jealous ones and dingers to the old parties whence they expect "boodle." Shame on such men to make our laws 1 We've had enough of such. The progress made by the Farmers' Alliance thus far has been satisfactory. The outlook is magnifi cent. What is needed is a "long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether." Let not one fall out of the ranks, but see to it that others are brought in. Remember the old adage: "United we stand, divided we fall! Be firm; that will plant Alliance principles firmly in the minds of the people. A Elant of slow growth is sometimes the est, but thus far the Alliance plant has grown exuberantly! The People's Aid. - TO BUSINESS AGENTS. 3.56 3.56 Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 26, 1892.
