ATKINSON VS. CANDLEB.
Judge Spencer R. Atkinson has
announced his candidacy for gu
bernatorial honors against Hon.
Allen D. Chandler. We print
Col. Candler’s letter elsewhere as
a matter of news. We made all
the comments on it that were nec
essary last week. Colonel Candler
admits writing the letter. Judge
Max Meyerhart, of Rome, received
it and gave it to the Rome Trib
une. Judge Meyerhart says there
was nothing on either the envel
ope or letter indicating that it was
private or confidential. The Cit
izen editor enjoys the acquaint
anceship of both Colonel Candler
and Judge Atkinson. We like
both of them, but shall support
Judge Atkinson.
Let the public remember that
Judge Spencer Atkinson is not in
any way related to Governor At
kinson. If Governor Atkinson
has failed to make a friend of any
one by any reason whatsoever,
Spencer Atkinson should not be
held accountable for it.
CACOETHES SCKIBENDI.
The bad habit of writing has
recently got two more distin
guished gentlemen into hot water.
James G. Blain experienced this
on having written the famous
Mulligan letter. Lord Sackville,
the British representative to this
country, was requested to leave
the United States in 1888 by the
Secretary of State for having writ
ten a letter. Senor Dupuy De
Lome last week was recalled by
the Ministry of Spain for having
written a letter. Hon. Allen D.
Candler will experience a great
deal of annoyance, if not defeat,
for having written a letter. Mar
tin Van Buren is quoted as saying
that if he “wanted to talk politics
with a man he’d tunnel a moun-
toin to do so rather than write a
letter.” Dreyfus and Zola, in
France are in a turmoil because of
letter writing. Instances could be
multiplied ad infinitum. When you
want to write a political letter
take Mark Twain’s advice to the
girl—don’t.
The Savannah News says: “Col.
Candler still thinks that his letter
scoring the men who helped Gov.
Atkinson into the Gubernatorial
chair has done him no harm.
There are indications cropping out
that he is mistaken. Let that be
as it may, he is not going to have
a walk-over for the nomination.
He has got to hustle for it. He
will find that the political fights in
which he has been engaged in the
past were but tame affairs com
pared to the one in which he is
now engaged. From the present
outlook, the coming summer will
be so full of politics that there
will be no time to find out wheth
er the weather is hot or not.
These two paragraphs, follow
ing one another, in the editorial
column of Mrs. Myrick’s Times-
Recorder are significant in^the
light of recent events:
“If men who control think they
can scare Candler off the track
they don’t know-their man.”
“ ‘Never put your prejudices on
paper.’ There could be no safer
rule than that for any politician.”
An exchange says “silk stock
ings verge on the rose color now.”
We hope to see more of them.

The Sparta Ishmaelite says:
“Commissioner Nesbitt will make

re-election on the ‘ vindication’
plane.”
If St. John had said, “ Oh that
mine enemy might write a letter,’
some people would claim that it
was an apocalyptic vision and
nothing in it.
If Governor Atkinson “ravished
the State” and got his office
through fraud, why did so good a
man as Gen. Evans accept an ap
pointment under him ?

Mr. William H. Black, one of
Atlanta’s brightest young men,

For twenty-five years that stand

SCOTT'S
EMULSION
has proved its effectiveness in cur
ing the trying affections of the
throat and lungs, and this is the
reason why: the cod-liver oil, par
tially digested, strengthens and
vitalizes the whole sys
tem; the hypophosphites
act as a tonic to the
mind and nerves, and the
glycerine soothes and
heals the irritation* Can
you think of any combi
nation so effective as this?

Every day since the Candler
letter was published a great many
Daltonians have sought The Cit-
zen’s copy of the Macou Tele
graph to read the fair minded ed
itorials on the subject.
Sometime since The Citizen
stated that Hon. S. G. McLendon,
of Thomasville, was a statesman
of whom his section might be
proud. His speech in Atlanta at
the Bohemian Smoker added
greatly to The Citizen’s opinion.
Mrs. Kingsberry, of* Atlanta,
is still telling how the Atlanta
girls are prone to kissing and
being kissed. Mrs. Kingsberry
should have learned long ago
that the only harm in it is
the telling. The Atlanta girls,
with the exception of Dalton,
are the most kissable girls in
the world. It is a well known
fact that General Gordon, when
canvassing the State for guberna
torial honors, made it a practice
to kiss all the pretty girls, and if
so distinguished a man as the gov
ernor sets the pace, can you blame
the balance of the boys ?
Asiatic Trade and Coinage of Silver “for
F.xport.”
From “Gold Bondage and the Interna
tional Nobility,” by Ben. E. Green.
Exactly, to a fraction of a cent,
(£, expressed by the preposition
“about,”) Secretary (Hoke) Smith
gave the measure of the “greater
value” of the standard silver dol
lar of 412£ grains in 1873. * ,
If he had been speaking of its
“greater value” in Europe, his fig
ures would have been correct, sub
ject only to occasional slight va
riations caused by an emergency in
the Asiatic trade or some demand
in the Arts to meet the caprices
of wealth and fashion. But as he
was speaking of its value in the
United States, his figures were
not correct, because he took no
account of
‘•The Obstacles to Transportation.”
He gave no explanation of the
cause and significance of this
“greater value.” But any ' farm
or factory hand who can do a litr
tie cyphering in multiplication,
subtraction and fractions, can fig-
urg out the problem for himself
and explain it to his fellow work
men and neighbors as follows:
16 multiplied by 6 gives 96c
15 £ multiplied by 6 gives 93c
Subtracting, tbe difference is. 3c
But 96c are 4 less than 100c
Each 16c represents a difference
of..... ? £c
4 is i of 16, and ± of ± is ic
which is the exact arithmetical
equivalent of the Secretary’s
“about.”
The ratio of value of silver to
gold being 16 to 1 in the United
States and only 15^ to 1 in Eu
rope, the silver dollar contained
3£ cents more of silver than a cor
responding European coin. ' As
the mint valuation, as fixed by
coinage laws, regulates the nor
mal relative value of gold and sil
ver in the respective countries
subject to those laws, the silver
dollar was worth in Europe 34
cents more than the gold dollar.
So, the Asiatic ratio being only
15 to 1, the silver dollar was
worth in Asia 6f cents more than
a gold dollar.
Men of great learning, ability
and good faith, regard these facts
as a conclusive argument—not for
discarding silver as money, nor for
increasing the weight of silver in
a dollar—but for reducing it to
conform to the European, if not to
the Asiatic, ratio.
The Secretary’s own figures—
this greater value in Europe,
caused by and exactly correspond
ing to the difference of ratio es
tablished by United States and
European coinage laws—prove all
that bimetalists claim. In the
broad light of the experience of
the last quarter century, they
prove conclusively the potency of
legislation to maintain the value
of the two me fails at par, when im
partial; to double the value of either
when protective; or reduce the
value of either when hostile. If
European coinage laws could thus
make the U. S. silver dollar worth
3| cents more than a gold dollar;
if Asiatic coinage laws could make
the U. S. silver dollar worth in
Asia 6| cents more than a gold
dollar, why cannot the United
States, by proper and impartial
legislation, be as potent now that
they have grown big enough to
leave off knee breeches and begin
to wear long pants ? lhe Act of
February 12, 1873, protecting
British gold and hostile to Amer
ican silver, doubled the value and
purchasing power of the former
and reduced the value of the latter
by one-half. An impartial ad
justment of our coinage laws
would speedily reduce the one and
raise the other to equality of val
ue.
When the Secretary was con
tending that before 1873 the
standard silver dollar could be sold
in the United States “for export”
when melted for “about 3 cents
more than its coined value as
money,” and “was only coined for
export,” he must have been think
ing of the “Trade ’ dollar.
The coinage law of January i8,
1837, gave to the people of the
United States a full legal tender
silver dollar of 412£ grains, worth
in Europe 34 cents and in Asia
6f cents more than the gold
dollar.
The coinage law of February
1873, took from the people .of the
United States this “organ of in
dustry;” substituted for it the
“Trade” dollar of 420 grains,
worth in Europe 5 cents and in
A sia 8 3-16 cents more than a gold
dollar; and limited the purchasing
and debt paying power of this
“Trade ” dollar to sums not ex
ceeding five dollars in any one
payment in the United States.
Why this increase of weight
and value and decrease of pur
chasing and debt paying power ?
In the European demand for
cheap silver for the Asiatic trade
we have a key to this one of the
several purposes of the Act of
February 12, 1873, which ought
to have been entitled
“An Act for the protection of
British gold and to increase its
value; to decrease the value of
American silver; and make it more
easy for the International Nobility
to regulate the volume and value
of all the metallic coin and paper
currency of the United States.”
If there is repetition here, these
are truths that cannot be repeated
too often.

tory the trade of Asia has enriched
every people who have in turn
controlled it, or a share of it, eith
er by the sword, like Alexander
in his day and England in ours;
or by peaceful commerce, like the
Phoenician cities of Tyre andSidon
in primitive times and Venice in
the middle ages, when
“tlie exhaustless East
Poured in her lap all gems iD sparkling
showers:
In purple was she robed, and of her
feast
Monarchs partook and deemed their
dignity increased.”
The Mountain and Pacific states
of this Union were the chief
source of silver supply. The Eu
ropean branch of the International
Nobility w*ited cheap silver for
the Asiatic trade. Congress legis
lated to give them what they
wanted. How this emphasizes all
that Hamilton said about the weak
side of Republics and their liabili
ty to foreign influence and cor
ruption !

LOVE IS BEST
Three travelers met at the Brandon pass,
By the bubbling Brandon Spring,
They shared their cake and venison,
And talked of many a thing;
Of books and songs and foreign lands,
Of strange and wandering lives;
And by and by, in softer tones,
They spoke of their homes and wives.
“I married the lady of Logan Brae,”
Said one with a lofty air;
“And there isn’t in all the north country
A house with a better share
Of gold and gear and hill and loch,
Of houses and farms to rent;
There’s many a man has envied me.
And I’m more than well content.”
“Dream of a woman as bright as day,”
The second traveler said.
“Dream of a form of perfect grace,
Of a noble face and head:
Of eyes that are of heavens own blue.
Of flowing golden hair,
That is my wife,, and although not rich,
“Oh, she is wondrous fair!”
“I have a wife,” the third mau said,
“But she’s neither rich nor fair;
She has no gold or gear or land,
No wealth of golden hair;
“But, ah! she loves me, and her love
Has stood through every test;
Beauty is good, and gold is good,
But, my friends, love is the best.”

News.
