Consolidated, Abril. 1891. «6.oo FRKK SILVER. Whatever may be the grounds of fear by the moiiometalists that free silver coinage will ruin the country, it may as well be accepted as a settled fact that the people of the United States want it, and are determined to risk the experi ment, if it knocks the Simpsonian foot wear off the universe. If there was any doubt about it before, the question was virtually settled by the action of the Ohio convention in puttiu, the free silver plank into their platform in a state too where the anti-element is stronger than outside the East. Every state in the South and West will Mr. McKinley will have a difficult!the same; and when the National time explaining to the Ohio farmers I Democratic Convention assembles, the why the price of wool lias been de- j monometalists will be in a hopeless pressed since his bill went into effect. f minority. simsciiirTio.v: Daily, One Year, Daily, One Month, Weekly, One Year, - l Weekly, Six Months, For advertising rates address Rascom Mvrick, Editor and Manager, THE TIMES I’CllLISHIXG COMPANY, Americas, <»a Americus, Ga., July 17, 1891. There seems to be but two objections A St. Louis firm has planted two tlious- j p, unlimited coinage of silver that are and acres of cucumbers, and these arc to j wor tb considering, and these are: bo made into pickles. If this bad been done down in Dixie, Editor Shepherd of the New York Mail ami Express would havo snilfed another Southern attempt to destroy the l!nion. This is what Boh Ingersoll lias to say about the stingy Xew York millionair, s among whom he lives on Fifth avenue: “I despise a stingy man. I don’t see how it is possible for a man to die worth $0,000,000 or $10,000,OtJO, in a city full of want, when he meets almost every day the withered hand of beggary and the white lips of famine,” Dalton probably has the lowest water privileges of any city In Xorth Georgia, the rate being $4 per annum. Rome pays $0, while Cartcrsville, whoso works aro owned by a private corporation, pays as high as $12. Arooricus pays $10, a rate regarded as extreme elsewhere, and her waterworks the past year have entailed a loss on the city. The now registration law of Pennsyl vania has purged the registration books in Philadelphia alono of over twenty thousand fraudulent names which the Republican machine has been voting in past years This accounts for tlio large Republican majorities in Philadelphia, but they will be much smaller, if not en tirely wiped out, in the future. The only surviving granddaughter of the late cx-Presidont Andrew John son died of consumption on Saturday in Colorado, where she had boon staying for a few months, hoping to recover lier health. During the Johnson adminis tration she was “Little Belle Patterson,” and scarcely less beloved by the presi dent than was her mother, his eldest daughter. All the actual assets is cash iu the United States treasury vaults havo boon counted, piece by piece. The total is $014,511,582.32. This c unt commenced on April 27, and was flnishod yesterday. Every cent 1. accounted for, Including one dollar missing Irom a hag of silver, which was found on tho floor of the vault. Of this large amount $26,918,000 Is In gold ootn, and $149,902,000 In sil ver. That tile silver dollar of 412j grams is wortli intrinsically only eighty cents, aud 2. That silver is too bulky and in convenient and will not circulate. To tile first objection tliero are two answers* the first is, that witli the in creased demand for silver bullion for coinage purposes, the price will rise say 25 percent, or more, and if it doesn’t, tiien (second) the quantity of silver in the dollar can be increased 25 per cent. A dollar of 500 grains Isn’t so very much heavier as to tear out the pockets of the people, and thoro is no good reason why the bullion might not be increased to close the gap between tho gold and sil ver dollar, if the demand for silver does not enhance tho price as suggested. To the second objection as to tho non circulation of silver, it is enough to say that nobody expects it all to circulate; and the issue of sliver certificates an swers all the purposes of a circulating medium, while the actual coin stays In the treasury vaults, where It properly belongs. The point that silver will drivo the gold out of the country does not seem to be well taken, for gold has been going out of late by the millions; and tho small quantity of silver in circulation cannot be truthfully said to be the cause of this outflow. If there wasn’t a silver dollar in the United States, this gold would go just the same, under the present condi tions of trade with foreign counties. The Georgia “Mellsh" will now lie down while the Alllanoo Legislature pops a cap. And when tho cap is pop ped, tbo encampment bill will most likely be repealed, and the Georgia Relish will not ties up again, at least with the help of the state treasury. The farmer legislators don’t want any fool ishness In theirs, sad to many of them the encampment junket seems the height of folly. Foubth Auditob Lynch, a colored Mississippi:!!], who has just returned to Washington from the south, says that Harrison will hsve a solid southern del egation In the next republican national .convention, and that it cannot bo brok en. If Lyooh is right it will differ very much from any delegation over sent by the south to n republican convention, as Senator Sherman and other presidential candidates know to their cost. The Richmond Terminal, since It liae moied to Georgia, expects better tieitnient than tt was likely to receive at a foreign cor- poratio-].—Tbomaavitio Times; The Terminal will get what It la legal ly entitled to, strict justico under our laws and a fair, square chance to carry ont their pledges of building up and making prosperous the waste places of Georgia. This state don’t have two sets of laws, one for home people and another for outaiders. Editok Wattekson. of the Louisville Courior Journal, has written a letter in which he expresses the opinion In rather strong language that Gov. Hill will nev er be nominated for the presidency by the Democratic party, because ho Is not in sympathy with the groat Democratic movement for tariff reform. The Xew Orleans Elates says that Hill is not in favor of reducing the high tariff, because were he a tariff reformer he would not be supported so furiously by the Xew York Sun. The antt-AUiance press of the State is pouring hot shot into tho Weaver-Simp- ■on-PoIk-Livingston combination that has just gone through Georgia making speeches on what these papers call the third party movement If Editor Gantt had his righteous indignation stired heretofore by the mild utterances of his opponsnts, how ran he now hold the Tilres of bis wrath creating boiler down snd not have an explosion 7 Look ont for something rod hot next week when Editor Gantt comeo hack at them. THE ONLY SOLUTION. Judge James A. Warder has played the last tragedy in this great drama of life, and with tlic same fatal hand which killed bis son-in-law and wounded his daughter in Chattanooga last winter, lie lias sent a hall through bis oiyi fren zied brain aud uow lies still in death. The rise and fall of tills distinguished lawyer marks another brilliant man ruined by strong drink. Judge Warder was a native of Maycs- vllle, Ky., and had senreo passed tho meridian of life. Ho was a gallant Union soldier, and while stationed in Shclhyville, Tenn., in 1804 he married one of the wealthiest and most beautiful women of that cultivated village. lie was a man of courtly manners and magnetic influence; as a lawyer ho hod no superior In tile state. He was (Jolted State district attorney undet Hayes, and had been judge of tbo aupremo court of the state. He waa one of tho most in fluential Republicans in Tennessee and there were groat possibilities in store for him had not the “great destroyer” sent him to a dishonored grave. His death makos the fourth tragedy in his unfortunate family by violent deaths. THE OHIO PLATFORM. It has been a favorite theme witli Al liance speakers that the Democratic 1 party will not be disrupted by the Al liance movement, nor tho third party actually inaugurated until after the Democrats have been given a fair show ing, weighed in tho balance and found wanting. They are wont to say that when the Democratic platforms are adopted, they can then determine, ac cording to the quantity of good sound Alliance doctrine contained, whether to get on the Democratic-Alliance combina tion double-acting platform and party of their own. Now that the Ohio platform has been given to the public, aud is being endors ed by Democratic papers everywhere, what say Alliance leaders to the ortho doxy of Its planks ? A tariff for revenue only, and that rev enue to he for the expenses of govern ment economically administered. A graded income tax, by which the men who are most able, will pay the most taxes. The free and unlimited coinage of sil ver by which the per capita circulation of money will bo increased to meet tho needs of business. This constitutes the big timbers of tho platform, and will bo adopted by the Democratic Xatlonal convention after all tho states have previously acted. What objection does Col. Livingston and Editor Harry-Larry-Gantt-Brown have to this declaration of principles? Will the Alliance accept that as the equivalent of the Ocala platform, or will thoy Insist on more ? The Macon Telegraph, whloh la de nounced by the Alliance Fanner at one of the “alliance bating sheets,” puts this sort of conumdrum to Col. Llvtngs- toa, which be might do well to dignify by an answer—if he can: ■‘‘While Col. UvlDfston la denouncing the government for‘loaning’ money to the na tional banka at l per cent, tt ie a little atrauga that he nevei calls attention to the f.el i hat the privilege of ‘borrowing* at that rate Is so tittle appreciated by the banka that very many of them never take advantage of It, and that theli reluctance to do so la one cauee of thecontraoilon of the currency of which he complains.” It is a well known faot that many, If not moat of the Xatlonal Banke aro re ducing their circulation to tho least qual ity posslblo to retain their charters, be cause the high price of bonds and the consequent low rate of Interest on them make the system unprofitable. The Xa tlonal banking system baa acen Its beat days, and Is gradually passing away, and only the ten per tent tax upon state bonds keeps Itallvoat all. The lynching of a negro in DeSoto county, Mississippi, for a trivial offense, is one of those affairs occasionally oc curring in the South much to bo de plored, because they aro acts of gross Injustice, and gtvo the white people of this section a most unenviable reputa tion. The white people insist on ruling in the South, and properly so. It would indeed be an evil day when white supre macy should cease to exist. But as white rule Is founded on the claim of superiority, It must prove that superior ity by protecting the negro in his rights and guarding him against wanton wrong and Injustice. This uncalled for mob violence was, probably, the work of a tough element We make do doubt that It meets the earnest disapprobation of the beat citizens of DeSoto county, and they should manifest this disappro bation by hunting out and punishing the offenders. The white people of the South must show respect for the laws they themselves have made and insist on preserving. THE COAL RATE REDUCED. The railroads hare restored the coal rates to Atlanta to the figure of $1.15 that prevailed before the late raise, which caused such an uproar. The Com mission hod said that the local rate in Georgia would bo cut by them; and so the roads had nothing to do but yield gracefully. By the united efforts of the Constitu tion and the manufacturers of Atlanta, this fight was won and in no other way would it hare been brought about. The Tiues-Recordeii called attention to the advanced rata. to Americus, before the Constitution did to the Atlanta rates; and urged concerted action on part of our people towards getting a reduc tion, and if a delegation had been before tlio commission this week to present our case, there is scarcely any doubt that our rates would have bceu p.it back to a reasonable figure also; but the Americus people seem to bo satislled to pay fifty cents more per ton thaa thoy paid last year, and if that be the case, TheTimes- Recordeii can stand it, as the differ ence to this establishment isn't over $50 per annum. But tbo difference to Americus ns a manufacturing point is enormous, and The Times-Rkc-oiiueu repeats uow, what was said two weeks ago that Americus caunot prosper with steam coal at $3.50 to $4 per tou, CUTTING: APT AIR at BEAL & OAKLEY’S We offer for the next 30 days at 1-2 Price. 1-2 Price!

Whether mathematics make a man precise, accurate and serious, or whether only that style of man becomes a great mathematician, is uncertain; but It la said that Prof. Sanford waa never known to have porpetrated bnt one joke in his life, and that waa the following: A vil lage school toacher who bad got into deep water with Sanford's arithmetic wrote to Prof. Sanford for a key, and the answer was: “It has no key; It la a stem-winder.” The good wishes of the whole state will follow this venerable man Into his retirement to private, life.
