Cheap Money. w " Marion Star. * The idea cf making debt paying eas - iwand everybody, generally-, prosper ^ oas by aa increase ia tbe per capita circulation oif money is a popu?ar dela (.?do. most readily received by those who . l?Ve given less thought to the disas ?roos .consequences that woold follow the adoption of such a scheme, and. to / ;;^rbo? it ts almost useless to waste time t ?nd breath ii? quoting precedent. This notion of sudden ricbe^?aiiiiy acquired ts a natural craving pleasant to imagine,. and he who. proclaims a method of its accomplishment is little liable to'ever lack hearers or to fail te -make converts among tbe identical peo? ple who are most to be injured and op? pressed in consequence. As long as men have debts "there are B?ro fo be repudia ti cnists, dc br-scalers aud inflationists. They are always with us and no nooner does there come a ^ panic, cro|?-raHare, stringency in the ^ v money market, or other miefortuoe of a ^ general character, than they are boomi * to g**e troable to the country by orgaui i ling new parties and fomenting agita f f tiea in favor of some quack remedy in? finitely worse than the disease com? plained of.... Suppose sack-people could sacceed m doubling the volume of money in - circulation I Pray who would be benefited ? Would it not be only those iii debt who thereby would be enabled to pay their debfes With ex? actly half of the amount they would ; owe. while lie who extended credit in - - timo of need and whoui they owe a aiiTi deeper cebt of gratitude and sym-^j % pathy must content himself with au amount that wt, intrinsically, only the half of what is justly tine him, Really, if there is any difference betwen this way of making money ?ud ^gaining k by simply stealing it, the dir *~ terence is in favor of the ratter method, - Knee-nobody's confidence or generosity has been abused. That is, cnie-s io deed, this process of dealing with the carr ency is to be continued for each . year as long as mea manage to become irvo&ved in debt: Another strong argument against ? increasing "tbe volume and consequently ? deprecating the currency rests in the fact that the honest dollar is the poor man's dollar The prosperity and bust ness interests of a country depend: ' mostly on vH young men. These gen '-~> orally start ont poor and begin life as laborers and wage earners. Wages and salaries are least liable-to fluctuation than any other matter. Within the .past twenty years all other commodities have fluctuated surprisingly while the '? saurket for labor feas alose remained t stibonar}. How foolish it then is that this ok;s sboo'd be found represented ti such au extend _io the train of the .itflatioubt, or fref^ilver advocate when he ii really his worst enemy and is in fact -laboring, were his plan practical, to oppress and keep bim down. Drpeud cpon. it. as/ we haye before J remarked-there ave bat two ways of making mesfey : by earnings it cr. hy stealing if. There ts boc one way of getting agri? cultural relief ia this country and that is by beating down its protective laws; and t**e place to do the most, and only effective work to that ecd, is in the Democratic party. .. Stick to it aaa let Ocala platforms^ free silver, the sub treasury and North Western Radical? ism, generally, alone and we stand some show of success. Profit in Tobacco. The subj Dined is ? report made by Mr. F. 3L Rogers. Jr., of Florence, to the Southern Tobacco Journal iu 1889. It will be seen that there is profit in . growing tobacco, and that South Caro? lina produces as fine tobacco as any other portion of the United States : **B^low" voa will find a statement covering two years cf my experience in tobacco growing. Beyond t?Js\ period i have kept no account of expenses and proceeds of my tobacco crop that are ac? curate enough for publication : CROP OF 1S87. Planted twenty seres. Produced 19.783 pounds.
