MR. TATE’S MONETARY ILLUSIONS.
Mr. Carter Tate, in reply to the
challenge of Mr. Perry to joint dis
cussion, says he is in favor of the “an
cient Democratic policy” of free silver
coinage. Will Mr. Tate please tell
us at what period, ancient or modern,
free coinage of silver was a Demo
cratic party? It is true the clamor
for free coinage is and has been in
dulged in by members of the Demo
cratic policy ; but this clamor was on
individual account. There is also
a number of this kind of clamorers
in the Republican party, but their
clamors do not constitute Republican
policy. Mr. Tate must not mistake
the hobby of individuals for a party
policy.
Free coinage of silver is not a
Democratic policy any more than
it is a Republican policy. But we
will tell you where it comes in in all
its glory. In the Populist party it is
a policy till you can’t rest. It is a
doctrine there—and the biggest po
tato in the pile.
When you get home, Brother
Tate, you will find that Brother
Winn and the Pops have squatted
on your “ancient policy” and will re
fuse to be rousted off.
Mr. Tate also says he is in favor
of the double standard—that is, gold
and silver are to be the standard.
There is to be one standard consti
tuted of two different things. If Mr.
Tate can conceive of such a thing,
and it appears logical to him, then
we must admit that his brain is dif
ferently constructed from ours, or he
has a superior mental grasp. There
cannot be a standard composed of
two things unless those two things
are exactly alike in every conceiva
ble particular. If they vary a bil
lionth part of a hair’s-breadth, then
one or the other must be the stan
dard. We have what is known as a
yard. It is 36 inches. That is the stan
dard of measurement. There can be no
other standard yard except another
yard of exactly 36 inches. If one
varies the millionth part of a centi
meter it can not be the standard.
We know of a thing in morals and
ethics called honesty. The standard
is and must be absolutely peifect
honesty. Anything varying from ab
solutely perfect honesty can not be
the standard.
Under a system of free coinage, in
order that the two metals, gold and
silver, shall be the one standard they
must be exactly alike in every partic
ular. They must be of exactly equal
value intrinsically. They must be
equally convenient as a circulating
medium. They must be of equal de
mand and appreciation in every nook
an<| corner of the whole world. If
one of these metals fails in any one
of these particulars in an infinitesimal
degree, then the one not failing must
be the standard. They cannot both
be.
There can be no such thing as a
double standard. It is impossible to
even think of such a thing. It is as
unthinkable as two mountains with
out a valley between them, or a two
year old colt that grew in six months.
The most valuable metal must be the
standard. Silver and all other things
of value must be measured by gold,
or gold and all other things must be
measured by silver. It must be one
way or the other. It cannot be both
ways.
In twenty-five of the leading na
tions of the world gold is the stan
dard. Seven nations have silver as
the standard, and they are all semi
civilized.
Under a free coinage statute, with
silver standing on its own credit, the
white metal would have a poor show
ing among the gold standard nations.
But gold is good everywhere, in gold
standard and silver standard coun
tries. A gold dollar is good for 100
cents everywhere, at all times, and
under all circumstances. Ever since
the days of the Patriarchs, wherever
man has found an abiding place, gold
has been the sign of value. Even
when the Garden of Eden was
planted, the inspiied writer speaks of
a land “Where there is gold ; and
the gold of that land is good."
“Money answereth all things,” said
Solomon. We want a money 7 that
will answer all things—that is good
everywhere. We do not want a
money that answereth only in the
United States, “and if England don’t
like it she can go to the devil.” That
kind of money is not as good as a
money that answereth all things, ev
erywhere.
No, Brother Tate ; there can be
no such thing as a double standard
composed of gold and silver. It is a
populistic hallucination pure and
simple.
BROTHER TATE’S ABLE ALLY.
The mails coming to Clarkesville re
cently have been unusually heavy. On
Thursday the mail was probably* the
largest ever received. It was so large
that one of the post-office officials is said
to have described it as being “A h—l of
a mail,” and the mail rider cn the Soque
route echoed this sentiment. C lai ksville
Advertiser.
Os course you know what is caus
ing the heavy mails just now ? It is
Major Bacon’s speeches. They are
being circulated over the Ninth dis
trict by the thousands and tens of
thousands. Brother Carter Tate
is sending them out to mold public
opinion in favor of the free silver
hysteria. They go through the mails
free, because Brother Tate is a Con
gressman. Brother Perry has to
pay postage when he sends anything
to the people. Then, again, Brother
Tate has a clerk who is paid SIOO
a month out of the people’s money to
write the addresses on his documents.
Brother Perry has to do his own
writing.
Now, some idiot will pop up and
ask why don’t Tate send out some
of his own speeches? And we will
say right here that it is not our bus
iness to be answering fool questions.
But we will say we can’t help ad
miring the crude logic of the official
referred to above when he spoke of
Major Bacon’s monetary hallucina
tions as constituting a “hell of a
mail.”
REVERSING THE JACKASS.
The latest news from the promoters oS
the Lula & Dahlouega Ky. is not of an
encouraging nature. Col. Charters has
received advices from Mr. Baldwin to
the effect that the estimate of cost of
construction as submitted by Chief En
gineer Balton was far beyond the ex
pectations of the gentlemen who were to
furnish the funds to build the road.
This will necessitate new plans, and a
consequent delay in the construction of
the road. In the meantime our people
will wait and watch for the coming of
the cars, consoling themselves in the
adage that “all things come to those
who wait in patience.”—Nugget.
The people of Dahlonega will find
out that the affair will terminate ex
actly as we told them it would sev
eral months ago. When a railroad
projector refuses to connect with a
place like Gainesville because of a
difference of a few dollars, and goes
nosing around trying to tack on to
flag stations, sidings, and persimmon
trees, you can set it down in your
book that there is nothing in it. It
is always pretty safe to apply bus
iness principles to things. There is
very little emotion or sentiment con
cerned in the building of railroads on
the ground. Sentiment comes in all
right when yon build them on paper.
The reason the Eagle was able to
tell several months ago the outcome
of the Lula & Dahlonega railroad is
that we judged it on business princi
ples and common sense.
Now we believe it would be about
correct for Brother McNelly to
apologize to the Eagle and the peo
ple of Gainesville for several naughty
things he said about us. Below we
give—
The Lula & Dahlonega Railroad as
the people of Dahlonega see it.
PERRY AMONG THE PEOPLE.
Henry Perry made a speech to
the people of Towns county last week
at Hiawassee. It was court week, and
a good crowd was present. A gen
tleman who was there told us that
he never saw an audience hang upon
the words of a speaker with more
absorbed attention for the first half
hour. After that it was round after
round of applause. At the close of
the address a large number of the
best men in the county came to Mr.
Perry and pledged him their sup
port.
The great heart of the common
people is in the right place. They
ate not always as wise as serpents.
They are not always posted on the
great questions that affect their wel
fare. But bring them to know the
real truth about these matters, and
you will surely find them on the side
of the right. As sure as you live,
the triumph of the cause of sound
money is only a question of knowl
edge—a question of information.
The financial question is a hard one
to understand in its almost infinite
bearings and ramifications. It is
complex and intricate and eludts the
grasp of the average mind. But let
the people understand it—give them
an insight into its true inwardness, —
and then you will find their hearts
in the right place every time. You
will find them for sound money, for
that means national and individual
property. When you find a man
affected with the free silver melan
cholia you will find him a man with
a fog and a bunch of puzzle-wheels
in his brain. You will find the ideal
perpetual-motion Ist.
ITS EFFORTS ARE APPRECIATED.
The Populist newspapers in Geor
gia frequently make grateful ac
knowedgements of the aid and com-1
fort their cause receives from the At
lanta Constitution. They find much
in the editorial columns of that paper
which could not please them better
had it been prepared by one of their ■
own leaders. The People’s Party
Paper, edited by Tom Watson, says I
in its last issue :
There is no fault to be found with the
doctrines of the Atlanta Constitution—
prior io the meeting of the nominating
conventions. Upto that time its doctrine
is broadly and deeply Populistic.
Whatever else may be said of the
Populists they cannot be charged
with ingratitude.—Journal.
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT IT.
Some Views of the Press on Perry and
Tate.
Mr. Perry’s announcement is clear-cut
and manly and outspoken for sound
money. He realizes the baneful effects
the free silver agitation has had upon the
business of the country and correctly
states that the assurance once emphat
ically given to the world that the present
standard is to be maintained will restore
at once shaken confidence. Mr. Perry is
a true Democrat, who will champion the
cause ably and eloquently. He is not a
palavering politician of the late day
make, but is a gentleman of elegance and
sincerity of a class almost wholly extinct,
in that he has no selfish motive in view,
but holds love of cause and principle
above personal considerations. Such
men we need in offices of responsibility
and honor, for in them the people have
representatives and servants who are
worthy the trust, and who for personal
ambition will not let the standard of
Democracy trail the dust of the vagaries
upon which depraved popular sentiment
runs.—Cleveland Progress.
Hon. H. 11. Perry of Gainesville is out
in a long card announcing himself a can
didate for Congress on the sound money
or gold bug platform. He says in the
card that this is his only reason for op
posing Hon. Parish Carter Tate for the
nomination. Mr. Perry is a highly es
teemed Christian gentleman, but he is on
the wrong side of the money question
for the Ninth district voters. The Ninth
is truly a bimetallic district.—Jasper
Herald.
Hon. 11. H. Perry of Gainesville is a
candidate for Congress from the Ninth
district on the sound money ticket. Col.
Perry is one of the brightest lawyers in
Northeast Georgia, and an up-to-date
politician.—Blairsville Herald.
Col. Perry is a gentleman of very con
siderable ability, qualified in every re
spect to make a good and acceptable
member of Congress, provided his finan
cial views suit the people. That, of
course, is a matter yet to be tested, but
we are satisfied a considerable majority
of the Democrats of the old Ninth are
not in harmony with him upon that
question. We do not pretend to say who
is right or who is wrong, but are satisfied
the Democrats of the Ninth district favor
the restoration of silver to the position
it formerly occupied.—Toccoa News.
Col. Perry is a gentleman of high
moral character, and has been for years
an active and prominent worker in
church affairs, and is universally liked
by those who have been associated with
him. His supporters will be among the
best people in the district, and those
who believe in clean methods, and in
filling public offices with God-fearing
men.
It is probable that the field will be left
to Col. Perry and our present represen
tative, but there is a considerable de
mand throughout the district for new
Congressional timber, and there may be
other candidates in the race when the
fight is finally on.—Lawrenceville News.
Col. 11. 11. Terry of Gainesville has an
nounced for the Democratic nomination
for Congress from the Ninth. Col. Perry
is a good man and is running on a sound
financial platform, but we doubt if he
will go to Congress. Free silver is wan
ing considerably, but it still has charms
to soothe many a troubled farmer’s
breast. It’s a pretty good trump card
yet, and it would not surprise us to see
Carter Tate go back to Congress on it if
he plays his hand for all it is worth, or
rather all it is not worth.—Harmony
Grove Echo.
In this issue will be found the an
nouncement of lion. 11. 11. Perry for
Congressional honors from the 9th dis
trict. In clear and unmistakable woids
he sounds the keynote of true Democratic
doctrine and lays down the issues on
which he will ask the people for their
support. He is for sound money, a low
tariff and the restoration of confidence
and business prosperity to the country.
In no sense a dodger or straddler, he will
meet these issues fairly and squarely,
and that he will do so in a statesmanlike
manner to the chagrin of his opponents
and to the gratification of his friends,
goes without saying.
We welcome the advent of such a pure
and brainy man to the Congressional
arena of the old 9th. II is candidacy will
most assuredly have a salutary effect.
Those who know the man know that his
campaign will be conducted on a high
plane, and the mere announcement of
his candidacy will draw to him the sup
port of those Democrats throughout the
district who abhor the methods of the
political schemer and unprincipled dem
agogue. He will resort to no under
handed or questionable means in securing
the nomination and if he succeeds his
success will be the well earned reward
of conscientious regard for well-grounded
Democratic principles and a faithful ad
hearence to them in the face of the polit
ical heresies of the day.—Dahlonga Nug
get.
In the Ninth district Tom Winn, the
Populist candidate for Congress, pre
empts the free silver issue. Judge 11. 11.
Perry is running on a sound money Dem
ocratic platform. The question has
been asked, where does Carter Tate come
in?—Atlanta Journal.
Col. 11. 11. Perry of Gainesville has en
tered the face against Hon. Farish Car
ter Tate for the Congressional nomina
tion in the Ninth district. Col. Perry is
a straight-out sound money man. His
personal acquaintance with the people of
the district is not great, but he will be
better known before the nomination is
made.—Macon Telegraph.
Tom Winn will be the Populist nomi
nee for Congress in the Ninth. 11. 11.
Perry will run on the sound money Dem
ocratic platform. Now, where does Car
ter Tate come in ? The Populist candi
date preempts the free silver issue. The
fight is logically between Winn and
Perry.—Savannah Press.
Carter Tate and Tom Winn might fuse.
It would be too bad for them to run
against each other on the same platform.
—Cleveland Progress.
Hon. IT. 11. Perry, of Hall county, is
out for congress up in the Ninth. This
looks a little squally for Carter Tate.
Darien Gazette.
GOT FULL ON THE WAY.
It was Easter last Sunday on the
Pacific slope, although probably not
more than half a dozen people knew
it. Those who did know it are am
bitious astronomers and mathemati
cians.
They find that the first full moon
after the spring equinox put in an
appearance on the coast shortly after
10 o’clock Saturday night, and it is a
fact that the first Sunday after the
first full moon after the spring equi
nox is Easter Sunday the world over.
But in this peculiar case, said to be
the first ’nstance of the kind since
the beginning of the Christian era,
only this part of the Pacific slope has
its Easter Sunday a week in advance
of the rest of the world.
When the moon filled Sunday
night, reckoning by Pacific coast
time, it was already Sunday in New
York and London. Consequently
for the east and the remainder of the
world, excepting the Pacific coast,
the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the spring equinox will
not arrive until next Sunday.
In other words, the moon got full
after leaving New York, and before
reaching the Pacific Ocean.
NOT THE MAN FOR A WRAPPER.
That report of Hon. Evan P. Howell
having a Senatorial bee buzzing in his
tile seems to have been an error. The
captain seems wrapped up in Crisp as
General Gordon’s successor.—Savannah
Press.
Not much. Your Uncle Pap is
not in the wrapping up business.
His whole aim, desire, longing, aspi
ration, and ambition is to down
Hoke Smith. That is the purpose
for which he lives, moves, and has his
being. His whole time, talent, liver,
lungs, bile, and spleen are conse
crated to that task.
Your Uncle Pap doesn’t care a
snap for Crisp except as an availa
ble utensil to down Hoke Smith.
And all this for why? Because
your Uncle Pap and Hoke ran for
delegate to the national convention,
and Hoke headed the ticket and
your Uncle Pai* tailed it—Hoke got
the gold medal and your Uncle Pap
got the tin booby. Then afterward
Hoke’s man got elected President
and your Uncle Pap’s man got left.
Then Hoke was taken into the
bosom of the great Sultan and your
Uncle Pap was left digging for fish
worms in the rain.
Now, why shouldn’t your Uncle
Pap feel grumpy? Os course “two
women shall be grinding at the mill;
the one shall be taken and the other
left.” That is all true enough, and
your Uncle Pap knows it as well as
as anybody ; but he thinks the mill
business is being considerably over
done in his case, and if he has to
keep on grinding he proposes to
make the water pretty muddy for
the folks below.
No, no; Your Uncle Pap is two
mad a man to be wrapped up You
couldn’t even rap him up, even if
he were a spirit, unless you disguised
the raps so he wouldn’t suspicion
that Hoke Smith had something to
do with it.
THE PEOPLE WILL HEAR THEM AND
JUDGE.
As was stated in these columns last
week, Mr. Perry challenged Hon.
F. C. Tate to a joint discussion of
the financial question before the peo
ple. We also predicted that Mr.
Tate would accept this challenge
and he has done so. Below is the
correspondence between them :
Gainesville, March 23.—Hon. F.
C. Tate, House of Representatives,
Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: As
you have doubtless been informed
through the press, I have announced
as a candidate of the Democratic
nomination for Congress. It is sup
posed generally that you will be a
candidate. If so, I would be very
glad to discuss with you the issues
now before the party. I favor the
maintenance of the present gold
standard. Many Democrats, I am
aware, advocate the free coinage of
silver. The people are the best
judges in the end as to the true pol
icy, but before judging they would
doubtless like to hear this question
discussed. I will be glad to arrange
with you for a joint discussion, w hen
ever at such times and places it will
suit your convenience.
With assurances of regard, I am
very truly yours. 11. 11. Perry.
Washington, D. C., March 26,
1896.—C01. 11. 11. Ferry, Gainesville,
Ga. My Dear Sir : Your letter in
which you state that you have an
nounced yourself as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Con
gress and that ‘it is supposed gener
ally’ that I will also be a candidate,
and in which you invite me to dis
cuss with you the issues now before
the party, received. I am a candi
date for the Democratic nomination.
You state you ‘favor the maintenance
of the present gold standard.’ I fa
vor the ancient Democratic policy of
finance, which is based on the impar
tial treatment of both gold and sil
ver at our mints—the bi-metallic
standard, the free and unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver without
charge for mintage and without dis
crimination against either. This pol
icy I have maintained und supported
since I have been a member of Con
gress and am now more thoroughly
convinced than ever of the correct
ness of this position. I have since
my election to Congress given my
entire time during the session of Con
gress to my duties here, but later or,
when I can leave my post of duty
without prejudice, I will be glad to
accept your invitation for a joint dis
cussion.
With assurances of regard, I am
yours very truly, F. C. Tate.
