The Mock of money in this country
Is to-day nWMtilmately $8,190.000,000.
Ten years ago It was $1,940300.000.
This Is a gain of
f7SA.0A0.Q00- or tnarorlmiMT SO
per cent.
Authoritative statistics show that
thf 1909 wheal crop was 8.3 bushels
per capita, against 8.63 per capita
tta tea years ago; the corn crop dropped
from 30*9 to 80.9 bushels per
ttgith; ^the oats crop from 13.4 to
111 bushels per capita; the hay from
1; tos to V of a ton per oapita; and
the numter of food animals, swine,
cattle and sheep, fell from. 8.5 to
X9" per; capita;:;, t '.
In the matter of meats the government
returns issued on the 31th
of January show, under the head of
swine (hogs) that the total supplies
in 1909, of 54,000,000 fell to 47,000,900
in 1910, a decrease of nearly
16 per cent. Other cattle. In 1909,
49.000,000, fen to 47,000,000 in
1910.
The number of cattle killed under
the inspection law in the United
States In 1907 was 7,621,717. in
isus u Ma mien to 7,325,337; daring
the tame period there wot an in- ,
create in the number of calves killed
from 1,763,674 to 2,046.713. The
reeeiptt of hogt at the markets fell
13.8 jper cent..from 1908 to 1909.
When the panic of 1907 came on
many of the farmers in the West
told their hogt because food wot too
high to feed them and these brooding
herds hare not been replaced.
In the matter of the production
of fruits, the leader and standard
(because it keeps longer) apples, in
the United 8tater hare fallen from
68.000,000 barrels in 1866 to 31.000,000
barrels in 1909!
Here it money, per dollar, decreasing
in its purchasing power because
of a 30 per cent, increase in volume.
Hero is an increasing deficit in the
field food crops per capita. Here is
a marked decrease in hogs and cattle
supply. Here is a decrease in the
leader among all the fruits (apples)
of approximately 70 per cent
On the top of all this is an average
tariff of 60 per cent on all foreign
food stnffa.
As result of all these things?the
increased supply of money, the decreased
supply of all food stuffs, and
the tariff?the prices of beef, pork
and its by products, mutton, chickens,
eggs, butter and milk, and all
other food products?taken on an
average?have never been as high

of 2.700.000. there were only 1,599.000

IS TILLMAX TO RK8IGX?
This la Rumor Hut Is Current in 1
Washington Now.
The Washington correspondent of j
the Savannah News sends that paper
the following nnder date of Feb. 22:
"The almost certain resignation of
Senator Benjamin R. Tillman from
the senate of the United States, as
the result of his present illness, has
caused a considerable amount of interesting
political gossip to be heard
here concerning his successor. That
there are many persons in South Carclina,
who would have no objection
to wearing the senatorial toga, if Tillnan
resigns, has been apparent for
ome time, but naturally has become
more pronounced since the serious
illness of the senator.
"Had Tillman resigned before the
legislature adjourned Saturday that
body would hare been called upon
to name his successor and the new
man would hare held on until next
December, when congress will reconrene.
Now, however, the legislature
baring ended its work and gone
home it would be for the governor
to name the new man should a vacancy
occur. 1
"Without discussing the matter 1
with "any* candidate, but Just from c
what may be picked up here and 1
there among the 8outh Carolina poll- 1
ticians, who hare been in Washing- 1
ton this lest day or two, it is believed *
that the men who would probably 1
be considered by Governor Ansel are t
George Johnstone, of Newberry, a 1
member of congress several years
ago from the third district; R. Goodwyn
Rhett, present mayor of Charleston;
Lewis W. Parker, of Greenville,
one of the best known cotton c
mill presidents in the country, and
Josepp A. McCullough, a lawyer of
Greenville. In addition to these
there Is J. Prater Lyon, now serving
his second term as attorney general
of South Carolina and former
Governor D. C. Heyward. All are
good strong men and would no doubt
fill the* senatorial chair with credit.
"TUi nominee, whoever he might
be would go at once into a primary
and stpmp the State during the coming
suhtmer. * In the list of free-forall
candidates would probably be not
only some of these already mentioned
bujt Representative Lever, the
seventh district congressman, it Is
believed would also make the race.
If this primary should be like those
. - V. - - -
tnat nave been neia for many years r
past there might be at least half a f
dosen men to seek the nomination.
"While none of the persons named p
probably would care to discuss this t
matter .now, because Senator Tillman s
has not yet resigned, and. In fact, i
amy ndt do so, there Is reason to be- C
Here thfit few of them would decline i
the honor of representing their 8tate t!
In the upper house of congress. fa
"Should Mr. Lever enter the race c
under the conditions named there
would ensue a scramble for his seat e
In the house with the field open for fa
ill comers. The seventh district has d
many good men to choose from and
any one of half a dosen would make
a good, capable representative. It is
laid that Commissioner E. J. Watson,
of the 8tate department of agricul- u
tore, is perhaps better known for his c
public work than any other man in s
the district and there is a feeling tl
that he might make the race a lively m
one for his competitors should he e
run.
"The whole situation is most In- m
teresting and while, as stated. Sena- jr
tor Tillman has not yet resigned and s
may serve out the remainder of his cl
term, should he decide to quit and b
spend the balance of his life on the fa
farm 3outh Carolina would have
tome lively politics in the near future."
