ELBER~T .AL.LIQ. ELBER T H. AULL, -ropretors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, P NEWBERRY. S. C, THUPDAY, SEPTEM,EER 1Z, i10 . It'- probable that between this and the .t of January that Eng!and will send to this country $30,000,@ of her gold for our breadstufls, and the bank of France is trying to keep $1'Hy.o of her -old with whjich to purchase American wheat. It looks now that the American farmer will -ooin be was 'ter of the sit uation. Since the first of January last about $75o,U000,00Jti of A gold has been taken to Eur .elp out the strin over tbere. We are told now that it is beginning to return, and already about $1.50,000 of it is back. A good deal more than this will conic in exchange for our wheat and bread stuffs, and It is needed here, and we hope it all will come back soon. TheGreenville Enterprise and Moun taineer says that the administration needs and must have an organ--a daily paper that will boom and champion i*s cause on all occasions. Well, we have no objections, and as the editor of the Enterprise and -Mountaineer has been talking about a new morning daily in Greenville, we would suggest that this might be the time to offer his services. You know "there is a tide in the aflairs of men which taken at the flood," and so on. Great interest was taken in the Teachers' Institute held here last week, and altogether it was one of the best ever held. It is believed much good will result. A new stimulus has been given the teachers in their work. It is no exaggeration to say that New berry has on an average a model set of teachers in public schools, and more interest is taken in the work than ever before. Col. Elliot F. Shepard, of the New York fail and Express, has engaged quarters for hinielf and a party of friends at the Columbian Exposition at a cost of $25,0W). He will live in prineely: style. We publish this week the letter of Senator Butler to Dr. J. W. Stokes, and the reply of Dr. Stokes. The head lines are the same as appeared in the News and Courier. The Herald and News thinks that the Cotton Plant has done Senator Butler an injustice in the construction it placed upon his debate, .and the reply of Dr. Stokes does not give satisfactory explanation of the .construc*tion placed upon the language of Senator Butler. But the letters of the two gentlemeni are published and the people can form their own opinions. It is now a personal matter between Dr. Stokes and Senator Butler, and has nothing to do with the merits of the discussion. The grain crops in the United States are said to be the best and largest this year ever produced. The Manufac turers' Record in a recent issue esti mates them and the figures may be of interest. The Record says: The yields will proba .oe about 580,000),000 bushels w n-heat 2,(H 44,044 4i00 bushels ofor,btwe 0,0,0 0,000,000 bushels of oats and over 100l,O00,000) bushels of other grains, making an aggregate of about 3,300, (00,000 bushels. or about 1,000440,000 bushels more than in 1890. This in crease of 1,4000pjt,0004' bushels is equal to 1,4400,000 ear-loads of 4'0,404 pounds each. Nearly all other crops promise the same abundant yield, rice, sugar, tobacco, fruits, grasses, et c., all adding immensely to the profits of farmers. Cotton al~one of all the big crops will fall short of 18944, but this will be an advantage, as the yield of last year was too large for the demand. And the big grain crop this year will not put the prices down, for the crops in Europe are very short and our grain will be in great demand. The ap parent de'icit in Europe to be met by importation is estimated to be 1353, 0~00,000 bushels. The estimated requirements of rye and wheat for the world's consumption are 3,600,000,000 bushels and the total estimated crop of these two grains for 1891 will aggregate but about 3,IH00,4400, 000 bushels which shows a deficit of about on~4,000,0o0 bushels. It must be rememubered that rye constitutes a large per cent of the bread-making grains. The American farmer ought and no d oubt will receive a good price for his wheat this season, and as there is a large crop and he should be happy. Of the yield of cotton is not so large the price ought to be bet,ter, as is al ready indicated and it figures to look as if tutere was a better time ahead. We hope so. CHARLESTON's COMMERCE. Passing a multiplicity of matters the interestiug detailed statement and summary of facts and figures all along the line of Charleston's trade and e m mierce, so atdmirably presented in tue: News and (Courier's annual suve of the field- -we reach the grand( climax . which is, that ou:r metropolis did, in the year of grace s91 -l, a bu'sines of or.e hundred millioni dl1lars. 1 W',hen we consider t he crmes, nhe crucial tests and the convulsions out of which the devoted city has evolved so mag~nificent a buineiss, every- Caro linian shiou:ld feel proud of 1her phenomi enal suecess. Tirtyv m ilion :s o dois increase inf lher trade a:na cozninere in the brief c interval otfti years' since the earth quaki:e, and seventeen million the pastr year shows concluisively v hat Charles ton is to be the great Sout hern comn nmercial emporium. What San Diego is to i-e on the Pacific, Charleston will be on the South I Atlantic-the great centre of attract iont and mart of commrercial supremacy. a With the prospect of a rise in the o price of cot ten it is not likely that the Il etfort to reduce the acreagte will amount to much. if the Herald and News were permitted to offer a suggestion, it 1: would be to raise corn and oats and n -consequently more hogs, and buy less t of these articlei I PEACE. The Hrald and News would like to s suggest a council of peace. What is the use of white men and brethren abusing each other*' We all seeM to e adriit that there is something wrong b That the people are depressed. That , there is some relief to be secured by)y 'egislation and that something is needed. We are in South Carolina all white people and all interested in a c .omolnl;l destiny, and all want to see e the relief ti:at is desired. Then, what -s the use or the sense of abusing each )ther and lighting one another. Why t not pu: the politicians aside and all agree on sonie cause that will bring the relief desired. That seems to us to be n the best plani to "be pursued. If a ma- a jority of the white people of South Carolina want the sub-treasury,let theni so instruct their representatives. If v they decide upon sometbing else, why V let us have that, but in any event there C is no sense in abusing one another. Let us get together like men and settle e this thing. The ( v>er cent. bonds of the town of p New berry are now ready for sale. Per- t sons having money to invest could not do bettei than take some of these t] bonds. It is important also that these h bonds be-taren by our own people, and il thus give theni the benefit of the in- c vestment and the interest. For full I particulars inquiry may be made at the a Nationai Lank of Newberry. No bet- f ter investment could be made. Secretary Boyd, of the Survivors' Association calls upon the township t1 committees who had in charge the it collection of subscriptions for the Davis monument, to ma e reports. It is an important matter. The monu ment is to be erected in Richmond, Va. Let every one give something, however small. It only takes a small sum from each to make up the amount wanted. S n We cannot see what Mr. Keitt hopes T to gain by abusing The Herald and tl News. We try to be fair, and have alvays published about as much for ti Mr. Keitt's side as the other, and have a never abused Mr. Keitt or any one else. r( It is no part of our stock in trade, but a! we do not propose that Mr. Keitt, or the Cotton Plant, or Economist shall tI form our opinions. We have been ti wanting information, and have been r ready and willing to give our aid to p any scheme that was fair and just that $1 would be of benefit to the farmers. But we do not see what can be accom plished by abuse or misrepresentation. Will Mr. Keitt point out when and where we misrepresented him or the Allianc'e? The Farmers' Colored Alliance of Texas is demanding one dollar a hun red for picking cotton. Labor Day in Columbia on Monday was a big success. The Herald and News regrets very much its inability to be present. We are glad the day was a success.

But notwithstandling fel Lhese plain and palpable facts, some of CO ur Alliance friends will persist, as we he mderstand they have been doing iu up ur county during the past week, in cl eaching our over-credulous farmers hi :he same old falsehoods told them by mn :he National Economist. and Cotton W lant. o This statement of the Treasury De- tri )artent also shows that the net in- th. grease in circulation during the month hF f August-August 1st to September WE 1st-was $e,108,32!, that is from $1,500,- of ,12 on Ausust 1st. to $l,50f;,131,183 on a C eptember 1st. Note, too, that of this bu nerease $1,S93,935 was in the National er~ ~ak Notes. Yet we will continue to vi( .e told that these Banks. these "ene- mnt nies of the people,'" are wickedly and wI shicowsly contracting the currency. un t hw,too, that the increase in cir- . ulation during the year-September inV st. 1s8'0, to 8eptember 1st, 1891- col mounted to $70,UfJ8,191, or over $1.10 (a. cr capita increase in a single year. f tra a here note that Senator Butler's car itstake at. Prosperity, in estimating mn e circulation at only $16 per capita, tht ems to have arisen fronm his con fusing 'I ui e amount in actual e'reulation with to e entire amount <st, :k) coined or ini ~sued. D)educting the amount held ii the Treasury from this instead of oa the entire sum, would abiout ac mt for his figures of $li;. and I do y see how he could have arrived at 3 hem otherwise; for, of course he did -e ot invent them a la1 Iacunie. i Taking, in connection with this last doi meial statement, another recent state lent of the TIreaisury~ Departmenit gi v : the circulation for different years] inee 1860, it is seen that the circulation er capita is nowv larger, at least was he 1st of last .lanuary, than at any revious p)eriod in ouir history. In >6Go, hel the outbrea'k ot the wvar, it was only nme S.5 per capita. In 1865, at the close Ro< fthe war, when we had so much in- He ation of paper money, and gold and Pla Iver were both driven out of circula- A on, we had a per capita circulation of tim lv $20.57. Twenty years later, in the 5, after we had resumed specie pay- can ents, and our finances had got back a normal and healthy condition, rid our credit wa second only to that fs ngand th pr anita circnlation as 23.02. On the Ist of January, 01. our actual cii cutlation was about I,529,01,0H0, and the amount per atpita $24.10, that is, as otficially stated, ie highest per capita circulation in the istory of the country. Since then the irculation has been somewhat reduced y the shipment to Europe of over 7j,010,000 gold during the spring and irlv sumnier. But there are already idications of the return of this gold in Kchange for our grain, and as we have sen above, the circulatLon iP again in reasing. Seeing, then, that our per ipita circulation is larger than ever efore in our history, and greater than .iat of any other leading nation, with erhaps a single exception, as I propose > show at an early day, we are forced, seems to me, to one of three conclu ons: Either our circulation hasalways eei too small, and we have had our iarvelous prosperity as a nation and a people for over a hundred years -ith too little currency. Or we need iore currency per capita now than eretofore, and if this he the case, we -oulu like for some of our Alliance -iseacres to explain the reason why. r it is a mistake to suppose that a :arcity of currency is at all the cause f our woes. Vhicli of these three mclusions is the most plausible'.' CIvIs. P.

It shows at the anmount in circulation July 1, 05, was $714,702,995. Of this amount 89,702,99-> was paper money. During ie calendar year 1865 the average arket price of gold was 157. So it quired $157 in currency to purchase much of any commodity as could be irchased with $100 in gold. The '14,702,995 then in circulation was, erefore, equivalent as an average for e year to only $640,301,270 of the oney which has constituted the cur ney of this country -since January 1, 79.

Tom1 Watson an the Subtreasury-Dr Stokep not Present-U;utler Makes a Strong Speech. LSpecial to The Herald ai:d News.] iAT'1;Lu, S. C., September 9. 3.3 P. M.-The much advertised de bate between United States Senator M. C. Butler, of South C.Arolina, and Congressman Toni Watson is in pro gress bere to-day. The crowd, which so far seems good-natured, is not as large as expected, numbering about 1,;500 all told. The ineetin-g was IAld ii a delightful grove about one hu;dr-i and fifty yards we:. of the depmt. The meeting was opened at 10.80 a. i. in the old- . fashioned camp meeting way of wind ing a large tin horn cal.ing the clans to order. Prof Nash, of the Bates!urg Graded School, acted as nas;ter of ceremonies and called upon the Iev. 'McKain to invoke the divinc b;sing upou the meeting. The chairman after reading a letter from Dr. .1. Willi-m Stokes, explaining his ab ence by reas.n of previous etigagment in the Eastern part of the State, furnished the infor formation that only M essrs. Butler and Watson would Ie permitted to speak tA non the matter. Senator B!,ter this morning called on Mr. Watson and tendered hini the choice as to how the debate should pro ceed. Under this arrangement, Mtr. Watson chose to open and close. Being introduced by Senator Butler, Congressmen Watson said that .if neither were candidates for oflice he (the speaker) would not be here, as that would be a matter of home route for the people of South Carolina to settle among themselves, but this being an occasion for the discussion of a measure touching the interest of all the people, he felt no delicacy in approaching the task that was before him. Proceeding to the subject of the debate, lie stated that the sub-treasury, like all reforms, must expect to meet opposition. There was no reason why both lie and utler could not discuss the principle or plan w:thoiut the bill. Senator Butler objects to the bill he was bound to substitute or if he object to the principle, then he would be in the position which could he occupied by no statesman. Jf any means of re lief were offered, he could take either horn of the dilemma. Mr. Watson then assailed the national banking sys tem, and quoting from the News and Courier the report of Senator Butler's speech at Prosperity, taunted the Sena tor with holding that seven per cent. was the only decent rate of interest on 1 money, and that if reports were correct the he had said that the man that bor- I rows money at 2 per cent. never meant to pay it back. He proceeded to give his argument on the sub-treasury as a legal and pra,. t ticable remedy. His argument was . 1st, that it was needed ; that it ha been in operation in the AnM&a I and Hamburg bank idh'e~land loan feature was in 0 atfon in Sweden and I Norway, coverning particularly the 1 Ens :lien Bank of Sweden, none of w ich sub-treasury banks had sus pended payment, although other banks of England and Germany had failed. r He also mentioned Frederick the I Great and the Silesian banks as on the ' principle of a sub-treasury bank. He f denied that the national banking sys- C tern was a war measure; said tha, was I the use of greenbacks that backed suc- I cess, but p)lutocrats wanted to get rid ~ of greenbacks and then established I national banks so that the prosperity of the people would be in other hands. S His main argument was directed to establish the claim of the land loan f scheme, and he as'igned that ti e sinme i principle would operate in ease of non- r perishable ihomelproducts. He depicted in the worst terms possible the poverty- I stricken condition of the farmers, andt said in the denmands of the Ocala p1st-t form was to be found the panacea for all ills. Tom Wat son is aforcible speaker, and s held the attention of his hearers. He ~ was frequently applauded. His speech was quite elequent. * a s5:NATOR~ B'TLERt spoke for half an hour before dinner,t and at this writing he is still speaking. He said in opening that he had been C severely censured for discussing the g bill at Prosperity. He had been berated a and derided for exercising the right of any citizen of expressing freely his opinion and that in discussing the bill 0 he was committing some crime. Thisr bill had been decided upon as embody- t ing the wisdom and thought of econo mists and lobbyists at Washington, and yet he should not discuss it wit hout the consent of the bosses. He had never expected the day to come in South Carolina when he would not be allowed to express his opioion on any measure without first consulhing the bosses. He .. sai I he had no intention of acting in bad faith. Senator Butler said that he branded as a liar any man who said that he said in his speer-h at Prosperity that b rorty thousand farmers in South Caro lina were thieves and scoundrels. Any mian who said that lie said that those wvho wanted to borrow at :2 per cent lid not intend to pay back, is guilty of base falsehoo and misrepresentation. Senator Butler said he had lived too~ ong. to pander to whims of demagogues :harlatans, and would not surrenderr the expression of his opilnion for any >fice within the gift of the p)eople. He >elieved the peQlple would do himi jus ice to say that when his services were emanded in peace or war he had al says given them freely.withou t stop-1 :ing to coun1It the cost. Th~ley had tonored him, perhaps, more than ties leserved, but he never intended to merifice his judgment for oflice. His friends hard reh)uked him f.r not a ntroducing a bill that was impossible. tv :Ie wais not here to discuss thesuhtreas iry plan. He had listened to his friendl of md still he was not able to see what F hat plan was. In every case, but t ny friend's, mon;ey was disbursed for re he people through banks, and not di ect by the government. h Senator Butler advocated the estab- an ishniant of State banks of issue. and to aid the national bank act wa,s a copy of le bank of State of New York. He th ad taken the position that cotton waLs to ust as good securit y as silver bullion, rc nd if the Government will buy up otton0 and issue money on it, lhe wil oas far as any one in helping it on be sut that is a diflerent thing from that to reposed in the subtreasury bill as lie O! mderstood it. al He de'fended his course in abiding of v the mandates of the constitution oi uid thought it was more of a liv- foi og issue to-day than ever before. He ag nought that the policy pursuedl by his an iend would lead to the establisment tn f a third party and made the issue lat if MIr. Watson did not approve of pa be third partyism that 3Mr. WVat- St >n could reply. He said that the in- try rease in the tariff on cotton ties would nri iake an increase in the tax on the peo- eli le of about t wenty-five cents on every i ale of cotton, which was a big thing D >r Southern farmers at this juncture. m A recess was then taken. Senator Butler was frequently ap lauded. At this meeting nojust judgmentean a made as to who has the advantage. E. H. A._ The Alliance Campaign. The campaign last week under d rection of the Alliance was withou special incident except perhaps at th first meeting. State Lecturer Jeffrie! District Lecturer Keitt and Count Lecturer Pope made speeches and ha things their own way. The peop! turned out well at most of the meel ings and gave careful and respectft atteition. -No one took issue with any thing they said except perhaps at Ml Tabor. The Herald and News wa not represented at any of the meeting. but from what we have heard ther was nothing sail or dilferent in th speeche" from what has been writtei and spoken on the .ide of t he questioi time and again. The meetings were all held a churches and at one place-St. Pauls iwing to the rain, the speakinig wa lheld in the church. The campaign opened at Mt. Tabo in No. 4. At this meetig Hon. Jnc W. Scott, as president of the sub-alli Itice. presided :d introduced th speakers. This Alliance furnished : rree barbecue and pienie, and we pre iune the same was the case at th, 'ther appointments. District Lecture Keitt made the first speech. He attri buted the depressed condition of th, rariers to legislation and nationa banks. These caused the low price >f cotton. The question of supply an< lemand had nothing to do with thi price. He advocated the sub-treas iry plan and with that would corm 1he panacea of all our ills. After dinner County Lecturer P0p1 ind State Lecturer Jeffries spoke oi "he same line, attributing the scarciti >f money, the low price of cotton an( :he "hard times" genera.lly to nationa )anks and leaislation and advocatinlo: is the remedy the demands of the Alli ince. At the clos- of these speeches Presi leut Scott made a few rcmarks.
