a resolution giving the rhomson.liou*.
ton Company a detinlte time, and a brief
one at that, to begin again the operation
of the street car line, or else remove It
from our streets.
The announcement yesterday morning
that the agreement between that com'
pany and Mr. C. M Fouche had been
cancelled, and that the operation of the
line was again indefinitely suspended,
struck Americus with astonishment, and
as the facts came out, the expression of
sentiment was almost universal that for
bearance with the vagaries of the com
pany owning the road had now ceased
to be a virtue, and that the city author
ities were in duty hound to bring that
company up to the bar und put an ulti
ma* um upon them in very plain terms.
The people of Ametlcus feel thst they
have been tiltled with by this company
long enough. The city of Atnerlcus has
granted a valuable franchise, and the
people have contributed many thousands
of dollars towards the building and
opeiallon of the afreet car line, and

“Free allrer” would be simply a 30

he a Iraud and a robbery of the many for

TREK SILYEE.
There la no question embraced in a*
few words, about which there la tucb a
variety of views as about what Is meant
by the phrase, “free stiver."
At can be seen from the connection In
which the expression Is so often used,
and th* argument* advanced by many In
It* favor, almost everybody baa his own
peculiar views, and what Is still mote
peculiar, most all of them are wrong.
The TiMEs-REcoiiDKK thinks It Is
high time that th* people had a correct
definition of th* term “tb* free coinage
of sliver,” and as no other paper baa
given It, her* It la:
The “free coinage of silver" means
then, that any owner of silver bullion,
can at present deposit 70 cents worth of
it with any United States mint, and re-
cclve a dollar In eichaogv therefor.
This is precisely what Is meant; no
more aud no less.
Under the present coinage law, the
government buys silver bullion at the
market value, now about 70 cents (or
412) grains, coins it Into a sliver dollar,
pays It out at par, and the treasury—tbat
Is to say the whole |>eople, gets the bene
fit of the 30 per cent. profiL
But If the “free coinage of silver” Is
enacted Into Isw, the ownere of silver
mines and the speculators In silver bul
lion would pocket the 30 per cent., more
or less, of profit, which the whole |>eople
now make; and not one cent of tienellt
would anybody else hut these min* own
era and simulators get out of the “free
coinage of silver.”
IVbat the maeees really do want, who
are calling so lustily for “free silver", Is
the “unlimited coinage" of silver, which
mean* that the government shall buy all
the allrer offered at the current market
price, Instead of limiting Its purchases
to five millions a month, as at present,
coin It Into dollars, and put them Into
circulation.
“Free silver" Is simply a question of
who shall make tb* 30 per cent, profit,
the owners of th* bullion, or the govern
ment; “unlimited coinage" means that
tha government shall coin all it can, at
an big a profit a* tb* market will justify

THE t'Kt'IT CHOP IN GEORGIA.
The Georgia fruit crop Is a big thing
thta year, and everybody la Interested in
knowing what the growers will make out
of it. In the |*ach and grape crop alone
conservative estimates reported by the
Fort Valley I.esier show that about 300
carloads of peaches and 100 carloads of
gra|«s will leave the (tat* for foreign
market* during the present season. The
estimated receipt* for the peach and
gra|>e crops combined are 3730,000. Re
ports show tbat the peaches r.r* well
formed, of good size and perfectly sound,
and this, together with the decrease In
yield from last year, makes good prices
and ready sales an assured fact. Other
important fruit crops will largely swell
the total sales, and lots of summer mon
ey will be put In circulation where It
will do good.—Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
