An unhappy EC an during the ensuing week was Farmer Heinrich Kropff. When not in anxious private consulta? tion with the Goldbug, who seemed to have become a fixture on the place, lie .was sunk in melancholy or in such nerv? ous plight that a trivial thing would suffice to throw him into a passion. Frau KropfiT did. not scruple to free her mind of the vehement conviction that "some guilty secret" was worrying him, and had pleasing snggestive stories to teil of a man in Schnorenberg, of whom sh? once heard, who went on in that way limself. One day those shrewd betrayers, iessrs. Cute and Sharp, reappeared at he farm. Sight of them transformed lerr KrepiFs grief to indignation. "Robbers! Schwindlers!" he cried. "I ot a boor opinion of you. Vat tuyfel hall ha^e sent your ehkinny faces my ay to schmell out more about my farm s I know mineselluf? Vas I not a fool rben 1 give you bermission that you hall schnoop about my blace? Heh?'' They laughingly replied that it was oo late to talk about that now; business ras business, and there was no reason ?dry they should not utilize a good thing hat he did not even know he had. He wore that he would not sell the farm to hfvnr?,, i.iot they (lid not appear either sur? mised or disturbed, merely replying that 'the courts would settle that" Herr Iropi? -shuddered. Like mest honest nen he had a horror of courts. Finally, fier a long consultation between the ?artners, Mr. Sharp said to him: "We have a great regard for you, Mr. iropff, and do not want to be hoggish n this matter, so we can probably agree ipona compromise that will be mutually atisfactory. We only want the uorth rn half of your farm, and will pay you or that the same amount that wo had tgreed to give you for the entire place, furthermore, we will let you have in )ayment stock in thc company we are ?rganizmg, and will put you in on the ground floor. In other words, you shall lave two thousand shares at fifty per :ent. of their par vaiuo, the price at vhich will be put upon the market the irst twenty-five thousand shares." "How many shares altogether rill here l>er "One hundred thousand. The divi? dends on your two thousand shares will iring yon in from eight husdred to one housand dollars a month at least, and f you choose to sell out within six nonths you will get probably twenty or wenty-five dollars per share. " To that arrangement, with little hesi ation, the farmer agreed. Aside from he brilliant prospects^ opened up by tfr. Sharp's scheme, ho had an idea iboi he thought was his own, though in reality it was a ray from the Gold-bug's genius, and its magnificence easily rec? onciled lum to the compromise pro? posed. "Frankly, Mr. Kropff," said Mr. Sharp is he re-entered his buggy with Mr. [2nte to drive away, "I am very glad that an amicable understanding has been reached between us. The thing is so big that we can afford to be liberal, md hardly any price would ho too much to pay for the good will of so estimable ind ple:isant a neighbor as yourself. lu four or five days I will bring you tip your stock and we will make tho trans? fer." Mr. Chipland was present during that interview, bat took no part in it and no? body eeemed to notice him. When the New Yorkers were gone Fanner Kropff went out to the barn alone, and using a piece of heil on the smooth face of a toolroom door, plunged into a sea of calculations. He would not be oversanguine, he said to himself, and so would take as a basis the lowest, and not tho highest, figures of income that Mr. Sharp had named-eight hun? dred dollars per mouth or nine thousand six hundred dollars per annum. That he could easily loan on good security at six per cent. Allowing one year for ac? cumulation of that sum, as a starter, in ten years more dividends and interest on his loans would have reached t!:e sum of ?131,265. But his magnificent idea would dwarf that, lie, without any company to share the profits, would work the southern half of Iiis f;?rm asa gold mino, and of course it would ?jay him a rev? enue equal to all that the company would take from tho northern half, or, in other words, fifty times as much as he would pet from his two thousand shares. In eleven veal's, then, he would have from that source $6,713.250. The contempla? tion of those figures almost took his breath away. Again and again he went over them, each time exclaiming "My gracious!" when he reach* ? the grand total of the two sams-$6,847,515. "I viii be one of the richest men in the vorld!" he exclaimed. Tearing himself away from the fas? cinating exhibit, he started for tho porch, walking with a stately, formal tread, as bo deemed becoming fora man oi his means. Just as he was about to take his seat-which already almost seemed a thron?-his eyes fell upon ftwo figures down at the gare opening into the lane, the figures of;'Lieschen and George, face to face and both leaning <?n the gate. Perhaps they were not kissing: but if not they were at least close enough to? gether todo so. Obeying his first ra? pids-, the old man strode to them and roughly broke in upon their tender com mnnings with the stern proclamation: "Look here, now, I got enough of that. Don't let mc have some more of this foolishness. Lieschen, go in the house." "Why, Mr. Kropff, what is tho mat? ter?" exclaimed George in blank aston? ishment. "There is nothing the matter but your j schnoopin about here after Lieschen, j young man," retorted the former severe? ly, "mit ve stop that right now." "Oh, father!" cried thc girl in an agony of apprehensive alarm, "what do you mean? You know that George and I are engaged, and you gave your con? sent, and Tm sure you cairt have any? thing against him." The old man was troubled, but the sense of what be ;is a capitalist owed to society weighed heavily upon him, and he steeled himself against tire weakness of mere affection. "Against George as George I got nothing, my dear," he replied; "but it is not broper that the daughter of a mill? ionaire shall marry with a common farmer ynost because he is a nice feller. I viii make other arrangements for yon, my dear. Yon shall marry some big man." "But, father, George is big enough. I don't want to marry anybody but George." "Excuse me, Mr. Krop?*," the young man broke in, "but my farm is as good as yours, and when you come to provide for Jacob I don't think that Lieschen's" "That viii do, young man. I do not gare for discussions. I viii have your farm looked over, unt ven it suits me I viii buy it." "The deuce you will!" "Sure. 1 vd] give yon two hundred iollars for a option, unt then you got to sell it to me ven I vish it. Thar is mough now. Go into the house, Lksch m. Good night, Mr. Stirling." The girl, sobbing but obedient, went io seek sympathy from her mother, and 3eorge, after a vain attempt to make ;he misguided old man listen to reason, ook his departure in a very rebellious md unenviable state of mind, more than ?alf convinced that his prospective ather-in-law had suddenly gone crazy. Chat hypothesis also suggested itself to he mind of Fran Krop?r when she heard jiescka^-^r^i-fmd net a little alarm icted" opposition uT^ST--?* ."tilis imex teschen's marriage to George, as she id planned, would be a sufficient and tisfactory provision for her, so that .etty much everything would eventu ly go to "that bore poy Jacob." But hat might happen if the old man lould really go crazy she could not resee. What business, she asked Ler If, had the old fool to go and lose his its at a time like this? And how did j come to do so? "Was it through his iwillingness to sell the farm? or his a?ization of that grand hotel and ineral springs scheme that her brighter telligence had divined? Would he id by hanging himself, like that man . Schnorenberg? Decidedly, she would ive to give him a good talking to. As "all roads lead to Rome," so ali ran Kropifs cogitations tended to that id. Heinrich, whatever else might fail .in, could always be certain of "a good iking to." But knowing and caring naught of hat she was preparing for him he,*i::d g Mr. Chipland on the porch, slapped s shoulder in hearty familiarity and monnced: "Tomorrow morning, Gcldbag, ve viii 3 unt see bow trie gold is in another reek on the south half of the farm, vat shall keep. 1 baot you it vas mure ch aa the other oue." [TO BE CONTINUED ] 'Ms is a Bad Time to Go ia Debt.

He explained it was not itention to speak, but that 31 r. I igston, of the Georgia Alliance, 1 icepted the invitation to meet G aller. Late last evening he reeeii message from Mr. Livingston teili im ho could cot meet Gen. Butler icount"pf physical inability. Ho cc nnued, saying. ? am glad to bc here, and rememb :How-citizens, this is au intellect! mtest of brain with brain. We w: ?present thc Tuition of thc Alli?t ro and con. Lr* us gather with mi nprejudiced to receive the truth, sk the Alliance especially to give ck ad practical attention to develop t uih, for we give the peopie of ti action this opportunity of seeing t ottom of the matter. With the relimiuary remarks I shall proceed. The Alliance has announced as o fits demands the establishment are houses in weich non-perishat roducts may be deposited and i hich treasury notes be issued, ish your special attention here, f will be able to present only a ge ral summary. First. I think nearly all the fina: iers agree that there is an insufficient f circulating medium even for ordinal usiness, and all economista agr< lat there is an important relaiic etween this circulating medium ac rice. ? might cite to dozens of tl reatcst economists. Calhoun was e: licit. Stuart Mill, Clay, all were e: licit on that point. 35ut if I lacked i uthority I could appeal to your con ion sense and prove it as explicitly ? ley. If you have a horse worth Q'2t nd are forced by circumstances to seil nd if no one has more fhau ?150, < ourse you can get no more, even if th orse is worth more. While there i o exact ratio yet the general truth i stablished. If a commodity is wort :> much with the circulating mediar nd you cut the medium, you of cuurs ut the price. Second. Not only does the currone ot bear a proper relation to this gone al business, but it lacks a feature rn ich thc Alliance was the first to pro m?gate-that is elasticity. I might show, by a processif reason lg, the hold of it. lu the fall of tlx ear when accumulated labor for a yeal ? thrown on the marker, even if tin louey is not manipulated, there will bi relative contraction at that time, bc? ause the logical eucet is what ali politi ai c^onomi.-its call a depression of price, 'he fact creates, then, an abnormal con it jon ned by way cf parenthesis that ondition ts not due solely to the reia ive influx of products, but to the few rh ti control the money. Col. Robert Chisoitn, formerly of lharleston, has made the alarming ta?cmcut that there were six corpora ions and ten nico who can lock up in ne day one billion of dollars. This audition, duo to lack of flexibility, perales against all classes of people, nd you are mistaken when you think ; is for the sole interest of the farmer reare workiug, for the question'is as road as the country. All business men re cramped by that condition of ailairs i.it ii ir. especially hurtful to tb? fanner, >r he must labor twelve months before e can produce anything The eo:.i jcrcial men know the condition and, he.reforc, have an opportunity of getting heir money out of the way, so thc far jcr must sci! ou a failing market. Wlnle speaking about the abnormal onction ? will ans-.vor the arguments gainst thc measure. It. does not give he farmer special privileges, but ii it id they would be rather in the line of vening up. There are three, aud ou ly ree, classes nf producers, mini anufaeturing and agriculture, bur. e not producers in a strict sen? ining and manufacturing. Bat fricuUurali^t when he goes into rid and works niue months, using : tnslnae and rain, is a producer, ;. only. There are two ways of c g up unequal things, subiract ? e lamer and add to the smaller, tl an equality. Men who own on :ates bonds have the special pnvi depositing with the Government, issues currency on this deposit. e dare not take away that privih ;cause there is not enough currei hen add some privileges io the farn orne argue it would hurt the in:: nd manufacturers, but they are als! rotectcd, they can put their prodi o the market every day, but not irmer. So this is to place the far jual to the other two producers, e is entitled to it provided he can g s solid a basis for issuing currency. Here he gave the pian of Mr. S. tone in the Forum, who says he adr ie necessity of elasticity, bat does dmit the Alliance plan. Ile offers riginal plan; proposes a bank of is D issue enrrency on products. I h bis objection: The same men will c roi the currency as now but I cl ir. Stone as a convert to the Allia -lan of elasticity. Hence we concl hat currency is insufficient and la .edibility. Throughout the speech Mr. Ste [uoted Mr. Stone and Mr. Caihouu he necessity of flexibility. He said armers' plan meets the condition, hat if not obtained he will accept a 1 er system than the warehouse systi Ie adds that it is to be supplied by ?vays, the issue of fiat money or latioaal bank issue, and there's jope of increasing from these soun jecause in case of Sat money a man :all for his gold or silver and rak iway from circulation. In this case jame mau's notes control bcuus, g ind silver. There is no increase b< because the entire output of gold ; an?^^5nually is about ?60,000,0 "rot used as money. But s pose ail weret?.^^_J uot De one dollar per capita. The liance demands five hundred dollars capita, and it would take forty year make the proper increase There ts help from national banks, for it isac ?tant spring of currency, and its po is unwarranted and a dangerous usur lion, for by law by the 1st. of S?pt< ber ?51,000,000 will retire, soneirlie the two can give the necessary incre; How can you get it? I can see only lands and products as a salvation. He said that ce a State bond is v;-_ *cu!d have the same trouble that contend; ? against during the var. j notes were good only in the State t issued them ? know that the notes South Carolina did pass in New Y or Liverpool Bat it was because Soi Carolina shipped cotton. Sliver, 2 and national bank notes arc good as as they go. Now, if all these can value fof their deposits, why in name of common sense cannot farmer deposit his product and ? money on it ? Senator Butler then spoke as follov Mr. President, Ladies and Gent men : AU ?he people ia this country ? awakening to an interest in public iairs. Agitation never alarms n I welcome the idea that ali people i tabing a profound interest in the Suhjects when argued honestly a fairly can be decided correctly. I wa truth and light. Why, fellow-citizet when I accepted this invitation I e pectcd to hear unanswerable argumen and I yield to him in the main all tb he has said, except what he choeses describe as the sub Treasury ph I may differ in a few details. I do n believe in his arguments that fiexibili of cureacy establishes the ratio of cu reaey and price. The great law of PU ply and deoisnd settles this quesiio I apply supply and demand to Dor.! as well as to products. It is claim* hy the opposition to free coincge th 00 per cent of the business is done I checks. Such an argument is uece? tive, for a man who gives a check m? have a bank account. Ycu can't pa railroad fara with a cheek. Taxes car not be paid willi a check. So thc argt mont is misk-adiug. There is but one bi lion five hundred million dollars of mot: ey for the transaction of the people' business, about ?2- per capita. I myse asked iu the Senate chamber how muc of that was the United States freasur and how would that reuuee the circula tion ?

The Alliance i? treatiug the wrong organ. I do no! announce thal ali are fools who favor the sub-treasury, and we a!! cannot think alike. We eau have a tolerance of opinion, which is the safest way or settling a question. It is not a kgiti mate argument to say bpcause you op nos*' mc ? am a fool I have brought an offk-ial copy of tho bill as tabulated. Mr. Stokes: We are discussing the plan, not tho hill Butler : You say that we must dis? cuss tile [?lau, not the bill. How can 1 get the plau without a bill. I discuss something tangible, not a floating va? por. (Produ es bill ) I cann.it con? scientiously support the bill.

Senator Butler then road the 1 rough, in the section whore it p des for a manager to take charge e sub-treasury he commented as ? ws : I)o you know who would be chosen e present? Statc.of affairs? A llept ;an would be selected as manag know Edgefield'a man. A muia ould probably govern tyraunica mr sub-treasury here Voice : Go ahead. General.

When do we want money mo* ; il not io the spring ? According lis the money shall go back to t .easury at the very time it is m ecded. In Section ll it is provided tl ,50,000,000 be appropriated to cai ut the provisions of the Act. It is: uilding ware houses. Some say tl be Government should issue moe ireetly to the people. But the Con; utiou is in the way. Money can; .e issued unless by appropriation Congress, i-nd that provision was j here by the wisdom and sagacity ot I armers to protect the people agai lishonest officers; to protect th igainst ju>t what this v : 1 wants. Thc sub-treasury would ,tand tea minutes under the Suprc 3ourfc. State Senator Keitt : Was the >" Drleaos Exposition appropriation m; ;his way "i Senator Butler: It wa? appropriai )y the general we'fare clause or t blanket clause of the Constitute ^,i:j;reHS nas <s nov and can appropriate for any nat io affair. There have been, howe? appropriations especially for suffeii humanity's benefit, for cases of distre The Secretary of War cannot lend tent or a gun, the Secretary of I Navy must hold his peace unless ? thorized by Congress. Yet this 1 wants to lend money direct to I people. Thu- same objection of the une tainty of the amount of the appropr tion is against the force bili. Notwi standing Mr. Stokes':, statement to t contrary. Mr. Calhoun never eenie plated lending money direct to the p< pie. The treasury is not?a bank, 1 is for managing tue Government d bursemcnts. I war?t to borrow mon from you at 2 per cent. We have los: and all such lesses will be made up taxation. YTet this is what you wi; Mr Stokes : It does not. givs spec privileges tc farmers. Theres t fault. It ooght to. We have among us three classe.? men : First, the man who neither b rows nor loans money; second, he w lends money and lives on the inters (and he has a right to do this ;) tb ii the borrowing class. |Now, d.n't c a mau who lends money a rascal, fer is bis right. Class three can be su divided as follows : First, one w borrows and returns what he borrcw second, one who borrows and by unfc t?nate circumstances cannot pay 1 d^bts; third, one who borrows at ai price, and never intends to pay it bac This last class is the one who wants borrow at 2 per ci nt Seven per cei is the standard of interests and 2 p cent, is entirely too low. [('beers ] State Ssnator Keitt: General. < national banks borrcw from -.he Gove nment at 1 per cent ? Senator Butler explains : No, nation hanks place their money in t* c treasui for thc notes they circulate. The 1 p< cent is only a lax. The gentleman urged his questic again, claiming a desire to be accurate and the Senator explained again, gola into details. Yot the gentiemau perception was very obtuse. Gen Butler : I can give a man fact? but I eannot furnish him understanding I ara opposed to national banks, but nc as Mr. Stokes. They are the outgrow: of the war. They were established t put down the war. [Here a history c national banks was given.] Is a mai any less patriotic because he owns na tioaal bank stock ? ? don't oppos national banks because th:;y are thieves You put money in them tu make monei out of them. National bai,ks do no waut currency. State banks want it [ am opposed to the preseut systcu because a national bink put ss word arie purse in the same hand and gives rb< executives of tit o Government com pie t< control. Senator Butler took i-sue with Mr Stokes as to th-1 reason of the disappear? ance of money out of the treasury Thc money was stolen Ask the billion dollar Congress where it went. Now for my remedy : Fijst, Bave a redaction of the tarif! fio m 57 or 00 per cent, ad volorem to something like 40 per cent. I could not make any amendment to the bill, for 1 never saw it after it got in Con? gress. lt laid in the pigeon boles of the agricultural department. No one came to me tor an amendment. 1 believe ii: inset ting thc Mills bi 1 Ile spoke of the reduction of prices, in which connection he said : Prices are reduced not by tho tariff but by labor-saving machines. Second. I believe in the reduction of expenses pf the Government In? stead if expending ?1,000,000,000 cut it down one-half.

The money i? scarce because the currency goes buck lo tho centres of business and t. ji? people can't get. it out. Let us put the power out of Wall Street by each State i .-suing own cu't ener. The only dagger in your plan is that when the* collapse comes it injures the poor man. not ?he rieh. My arti Senatorial act was? the r?r cent tas on the issue of State banks, [r. Calhoun's idea was tc|put the matter aek in the hands of the people. Mr. aihoun favored the sub-trcasnry as we ave now in Chicago, New Oi leans, etc. > issue currency for the benefit of the jopie, bat not to give it to them. This ??s for convenience. These sub eaanries t?:e only branches of the ederai treasury. The people cannot ct fhe money except they have some ting to seil for it. Another step ? would take to the -ttlement of the "unevenness" is this: 'ul tea acres of cotton to the mule for iree years. Let farmers do this and icy wiil have the world at their feet, 'hey would be then the most, prosper? as people on the globe. As for not eing able to put their products on the ?arket at any time is all stuff. There * not an acre of ground in Newberry hat cannot make something to sell very month of the year. I am opposed to only two planks ia? he Alli ?nee platform. The sub reasury bill is unwise, ar.d the worst biog for the farmers. I am also op losed to Governmental eontrol or 'peration of all railroads, for the fol owing reason : The more yon eau livert the interest of the people fron? he Government the belter off will the nesses be. Voice : How about the Third Party,, jtenernl : Butler: We have no room for the Third Party. There can only be two parties. The old Democratic though buffeted stands still. Voice: What has the Democrat naaty done for the South in the last thiriy-?ve years ? Butler: If you are so far in the back woods as net to know what that party has done for the South you are a poor sinner and ''ought to be bora agaiu.'' You would be an excellent Third Party leader. Senator Butler then eulogized most siirring'y the Democratic party. It has held its own under the direction of thc wi.-est statesman, Jefferson ; held its own aginst Revolutionises and Anarchists. When I hear talk of a Third Party I am overwhelmed with r-The P'Mjii^i^-iiL.r)arty has stoo;T like a stone wall against alPaggr?SsW aud for that alone, if it had uotbiug else, should be lauded to the skies. It rep? resents home rule and self-governmeut. Party after party has risen in the ruins of cider parties, while the Democratic party alone bas stood the blood of wara and the heat of political activity.. It stands wiih the very doctrines of the Alliance, except the two I have op? posed above. I believe with 140 major? ity io the l?ense, with the present Senate, r-nd with the chances favorable of electing the next President, if it fails to bi ing rt lief then I shall talk about the Third Party, bnt cot with such signs of success. Wherever a farmer makes all he needs, does his business on business principles, hs will not want money at I 2 per cent. Mr. Stokes's reply was only a recital on arguments used in his first speech. In several he simply stated j that he disagreed with the honorable Senator. His reply was limited to thirty minutes, but a downpour foroed him to conclude earlier. The time of each speaker was at first placed to one hour and a half, but such a clamor arcs? when Senator Butler began to take his seat at the end of the time that it was prolonged. Later in thc day Col. Talbert made a speech, which was not a discussion of the sub-treasury, but a general Alliance talk. Beyond this it would have been ! a violation of agreement.
