New Currency Plan.
At last, the people who are interested
in fastening the gold standard upon this
country have hit upon a plan' which they
think will atop the ’‘endless chain” feature
of the present system.
Representative McCleary, ehairman of
the sub-committee charged with the elab
oration of a new currency bill, has re
ported such a measure to the full com
mittee. The novelty of this is that it pre
vents the raiding of the United States
treasury to gel gold for export by pre
senting greenbacks for redemption. The
government, unlike a bank, has no w-ay of
getting gold in an emergency .except by
issuing bonds, as Cleveland s administra
tion had to do.
This is to be effected in the following
way:
National banks are to gradually change
the basis of their note issues from govern
ment bonds to Issues based upon commer
cial assets. This Is to be done gradually.
After one year from the passage of the
hill banks may reduce their bond deposits
one-fourth each year.
To obtain elr< illation on their commer
cial assets, the banks must deposit legal
tender notes with the United States treas
ury. In place of them, the banks will re
ceive a new class of notes, called "nation
al reserve notes." These are to be re
deemed in gold by the banks on demand,
out of a gold reserve fund which another
section of the bill provides the banks shall
establish. Each bank will be allowed to
issue notes, based upon its commercial as
sets, to the full amount of the reserve
notes issued to It.
The government legal tenders amount to
$165,000,000. These would all be converted
Into reserve notes, and remain in circula
tion. The national banks would be allowed
to Issue $465,000,000 more of their own
notes. At present the national bank cir
culation is $235,000,000. So, under this bill,
the money in circulation could be increas
ed by $230,000,000 more national bank
notes.
This provision does two things: it com
pels .the conversion of greenbacks into re
serve notes, and limits the issue of circu
lation. The reserve notes are not to be
redeemed at the treasury, except in the
few cases of hank failure. The greenbacks
paid Into the treasury are not to be re
issued, as the reserve notes will take their
place.
The bill thus would prevent any Issue of
bonds to maintain the treasury gold. It
does not reduce the volume of money in
circulation. It puts upon the banks, where
St belongs, the burden of finding gold for
export. And the banks get the privilege
of issuing notes only by assuming the duty
of redeeming in gold* the reserve notes —
which eventually will be the only govern
ment paper money in existence.
It remains to be seen how the banks
will take to the scheme. On the face of it,
it is strong proof of the injustice and
hardship worked by the single gold stand
ard—-for the reason that a currency system
■which requires so much bolstering up must
be a weak and fraudulent thing.
How mush simpler would be the substi
tution of a double standard, which would
at once put an end to this "endless chain”
business, and, at the same time, supply
Ihe need for an adequate circulating me
dium.
The government is in a sorry plight, in
deed. when it must depend upon the banks
alone to bolster up its financial system.
Jefferson's Birthday.
‘Prior to this year there have been two
celebrations of the birthday anniversary
of Thomas Jefferson. The first one was
in 1630. and was rendered memorable by
the presence of President Andrew Jack
son, Vice President John C. Calhoun, the
officers of the cabinet and the Democratic
members o 4 the Senate and (House. Since
then no birthday anniversary of the foun
der of Democracy has been celebrated till
last year; and It Is again lo be celebrated
under magnificent auspices in Washington
this year on April 13th.
It seems strange to some that these an
niversaries are celebrated on the 13th of
April when the biographical encyclopae
dias and histories set down the date of
President Jefferson’s birth as April 2,
1743. On the topic as to the day of Jeffer
son s birth. Historian James Schouler
makes this statement:
. 3he birthday of Thomas was the 2d of
April, 1,43, old style. Sixty years Later,
while president of the United States, he
suppressed information pn that point, be
cause he wished to put an end to the of
cial birthday celebrations, which had be
gun under his two predecessors, after the
custom o' European monarchs; nor in the
memoir which he composed in his final re-
Irement. and which describes his course
of life up to the time when he first en
e,<\ ashingtons cabinet, does he seem
<o have thought it of sufficient conse
quence to give this date to the public. But
In his father’s book Os common prayer—
which was a sacred possession—he kept a
complete record for many years in his own
± an<l hero th * of his
b! rth was entered with those pf his
brothers and sisters ”
ofTS 7. 17 t was th<? date
of birth at the time Jefferson was born un
prevan% c " iDC ® rrw;t . calendar, which
prevailed. Greggorlan .correct calendar
now in use, adopted by Great Britain Ind
the colonies in 1752. required the striking
calendar of eleven davs, bring-
Ing the date of his birth forward eleven
days, or April 13. 1743. Thereupon, it will
appear that while under the "old style"
the birthday of Democracy’s founder is re
corded as April 2. 1743. this date, when
converted into the Gregorian svstem be
came April 13. 1743. ‘
One hundred and fifty-five years ago
April 13(h next. Thomas Jefferson was
born, but in the system of reconing then
in use. the date in his book of Common
i rayer was recorded April 2. 1743.
There is ample precedent for interven
tion. and precedent found, too. in Europe.
In 1821 Greece revolted from Turkish rule,
and purely on humanitarian grounds Eng
land, Russia, and France intervened, and
after thrashing the Turkish fleet on the
Mediterranean, set Greece free.
Spain’s Financial Condition.
The Philadelphia Record says the state- 1
meat of Spain’s finances following, is con- j
denscu Irom official sources.
It does not include such floating debts i
as arose from arrearages or postponed
payments of current expenses for which
no vouchers were in circulation—debts of ■
which General Blanco not long ago eaid ■
there were $80,000,000 in Cuba.
The total of toe debt was given as sl,- i
709,303,6X2, and the annual charges for ’
interest, administration and redemption at
$105,637,031. This, tor the capital sum, is
$354,381,222 more than the debt in 1805.
Just before the Cuban rebellion broke out,
while the cost ot administration, annual
charges, etc., in three years has increased
by $40,000,000.
Since the government credit has sunk so
low in Madrid it will be hardly possible
for Spain to borrow in foreign markets. It
is well known, further, that tne govern
ment has been asking for fresh credits on
the basis of pledges of its customs duties
for the interest on various specific loans.
For ten years prior to the outbreak of tne
Cuban revolt these duties had varied but
little. They formed about one-eighth of
the total revenue of Spam, but they have
seriously declined. In 1885, ten years be
fore tne rebellion, they amounted to $26,-
000,000. .Last January the minister of fi
nance estimated that hv would receive
about as much for 1807, or a falling off of
$4,00,000. from the previous year—a de
crease largely due to the Philippine and
Cuban troubles. He further' estimated
that, beyond the amount pledged for inter
eest on tiia irredeemable bonds, $6,000,000
would remain pledged for new loans. This
would exhaust his resources from cus
toms —about the only revenue that will
give Spain a foreign credit. But these
have fallen off at a discouraging rate. If
things conitnue this year as they have the
past two years the customs receipts will
be afyout $5,000,000 less than the estimates
of the finance minister; and that puts an
end to Spanish credit in open markets for
this year based on such securities.
These facts do not present the Spanish
financial condition in its worst light. As
the London Economist says, with some ex
aggeration: “For twenty years Spain has
not been able to meet the expenses of the
kingdom itself, and the deficits have rang
ed from $5,000,000 to $25,000,000 a year.
In the five years succeeding the readjust
ment of the debt in 1881 they fell behind
by $26,000,000. In 1894 the resources were
$10,000,000 less than the expenditures. Os
course, the deficits have greatly increased
with the Philippine and Cuban rebellions.
It is evident that when a nation has to
pledge its customs and its tobacco and
quicksilver monopolies to raise money, its
financial condition’has become very bad.”
Restricting Suffrage.
The Louisiana Constitutional Conven
tion has finally adopted the suffrage clause
of the proposed new constitution by a vote
of G 5 to 45. The action of the convention
lias aroused widespread interest, and many
able legal authorities have expressed doubt
as to the constitutionality of the clause.
Under the new provision only the follow
ing persons can vote:
Those able to read and write, proof of
which must be given under oath and in
presence of the registration officer by
writing out an application in English or in
the voter’s mother tongue; those unable
to read and write, but possessing property
assessed at S3OO, and on which all due
taxes have been paid: all male persons
who wcr'e voters on January 1, 1897, or on
any date prior thereto, and likewise to
their sons and grandsons, provided they
are 21 years of age at the time of the
adoption of the proposed constitution; and
to all foreigners who were naturalized
prior to January 1, 1898. The payment of
a poll tax is also required, but this provis
ion docs not'take effect until after the
general election to be held in 1900, and it
will not be required of voters over 60 years
of age.
The effect of the clause is to exclude
thousands of ignorant negroes, but to per
mit many naturalized foreigners who can
not speak the English language to vote.
It is intended to solve the negro question
in Louisiana and to prevent control of the
state from falling in to the hands of the
Ignorant and vicious.. This is right -and
proper and there can be no reasonable ob
jection to the' suffrage clause.
As to educational qualification for voters
Mississippi has had one for years and Con
necticut only recently adopted the same
plan. Rhode Island has a property quali
fication. South Carolina and Mississippi,
among the Southern states, require that
the voter must be able to read hnd ex
plain passages from the state constitution.
It is evident that in time every state
which has a large ignorant population,
whether among negroes or whites, must
for the preservation of Republican insti
tutions require that voters be able to read
and write. The question, of color should
necessarily play no part.
Alabama must be in line next with a
system of limited suffrage. No state needs
it worse and the people are determined to
have it.
J. Value of Double Crops.
The following from Dr. J. B. Killebrew
in April Southern Farm, of Baltimore,
makese interesting and profitable reading
for the farmers of Georgia:
“But the advantages of the South do
not consist altogether in its capacity for
supplying green food, but also in the fact
that several crops of forage may be grown
the same season upon the same land.
Mention has just been made of the fact
that a crop of crab grass succeeds a crop
of oats. This crab grass frequently yields
as much forage as the preceding oat crop,
sometimes even more. Instances are given
wheYe five tons of dry corn fodder have
been grown on a single acre, and even a
larger tonage of sorghum. Two crops of
corn fodder may be grown on the same
lands; two crops of millet; two of cow
peas; two or three of alfalfa; two crops
of several kinds of roots, and two crops of
Johnson grass may be produced. While
the latter is regarded as an inevitable
nuisance upon all tillable farms, it cer
tainly supplies a- large quantity of nutri
tious forage. It is difficult to eradicate
because it has large, fleshy roots that send
up shoots from every joint."
Peter Cooper, who died worth a million
dollars, gave some good advice to the bus
iness men of every town when he said:
"In-all towns where a newspaper is pub
lished every man should advertise in it,
if nothing more than a. card stating his
name and the business he is engaged in.
It nearly always pays the advertiser, and
besides Jets the people at a distance know
that the town in which you reside is a
prosperous community of business and
that the people may settle in it with a
chance to make a living. Never pull in
your sign in a home paper while yoq ex
pect ii) do business.”
Southern men arc playing quite a con
spicuous part in the present crisis, notes
the Birmingham News. Consul General
Fitzhugh Lee is a Virginian. Several of
the officers of the ill-fated Maine were
Southerners. Commodore W. S. Schley,
who commands the flying squadron at
Hampton Roads, is a native of Maryland,
and “Fighting Bob" Evans, who has just
been placed in charge of the battleship
lowd, was born in Virginia.
A congressman from Ohio went into the
navy department the other day, so says
a Washington special,. and demanded in a
loud voice: “When are you going to de
clare war?” “Against whom?” he was
asked. "Spain, of course.” “For what?”
“I don’t care a what; on general
principles; any old thing will do. We
have* given you $50,000,000 to buy guns
and powder, and now we want to hear
them go off.”
Hon. O. B. Stevens, of Terrell county,
is a candidate for the Democratic nomina
tion for the office of commissioner of ag
riculture. Mr. Stevens is a practical farm
er and a successful business man. and the
writer has on doubt that he will fill the
office to which he aspires with that abil
ity and faithfulness that is characteristic
of the man. The farmers of Georgia woujd
subserve their own interests by electing
’Tobe” Stevens commissioner of agricult
ure.—Oconee Enterprise.

Weakened One Man’s Constitution
l-ntil H Brought Him to
Death’s Dc-or.
Mr. James S. Harrison, a well-known
and highly respected citizen of Cleve
land, (>., was for years a sufferer fronj
dyspepsia and general debility, and in
his weakened condition, resulting from
the above causes, he had the additional
ill-luck to fall a victim to malaria from
this complication of disorders. Mr.
Harrison’s condition was becoming very
serious, when he commenced to take P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy. Its
effects were marked and immediate.
Read his letter to us. Its earnestness
is apparent:
Gentitemen: For the benefit of all
suffering from dyspepsia and general
debility I beg to submit my testimonial
as to the efficacy of your P. P. P., Lipp
man’s Great Remedy, as a positive
cure for all the distressing complaints
from which I suffered.
My system was also full of Malaria
and my condition was growing very
serious; I had no appetite, was losing
strength and was completely broken
down in health, but now my health is
completely restored, and I can eat like
a field laborer, without the slightest
fear of any serious’results.
I take great pleasure in telling the
world that P. P. P. did the grand work
of restoring me to my accustomed
health. Yours truly,
JAMES S. HARRISON,
Cleveland, O.
If yoii get up feeling tired and stupid,
P. P. P. should be taken—it will make
you feel well.
P. P. P. elites eczema, that tortur
ing, itching disease of the skin and
blood. If your blood is kept pure,you
will not be disfigured with pimples,
boils and blotches.
P. P. P. is the deadly foe and van
quisher of rheumatism. Its effects are
immediate and lasting, and it iot only
relieves, but permanently cures.
Scrofula, which is hereditary and
deep-seated in the blood can be cured
by P. P. P. It is the one and only posi
tive cure for this dread disease.
Sufferers from kidney troubles find
immediate relief when they take P. P.
P. as it cures all irregularities and re
stores to nature her proper functions.
