THAT IIIKK SILVER «Jl E'TKIN.
When a few days ago Tut Time—
Recom.kii gave a technical definition of
the aignitlcance of the pli.ase, “free

that almost everybody misunderstood * “ *mph*tically denies that the free
profit at present existing; but no well

| tins artfullv devised confusion. The

matter of no consequence to the public
whatever.
What the Constitution says aliout the
effect* ot the remonetization of silver
probably true: but Tiik Time* Kecoiiis-
wbat was really meant, it was scarcely
thought possible that the Constitution
would hasten 'o put Itself on record s»
one of those who didn't understand.
The definition which Tiik Time—
Recoiideii gave was ami is absolutely
correct; as can l e seen from the language
of both the llland and the btewart bills,
notwithstanding the sarcasm of the Con
atitutioa in characterizing It as what
“The Times HecoiiiiKu Is plrased
conceive" as the meaning. Tiik Tine 1
Hecoiiuki: Insists that it made no mis
take and lias stated the case fairly
which cannot be said of the Constltu
tlon'a presentation of the question In its

This is oot a monoiuetallst view at ail

bills tba Constitution has lieen urging

It* Ant section: • • • “The owner
of ailver bullion may depoait the same at
any mint of the United state* to be
coined for hi* benefit; and It aball be
the duty of the proper offleen
to coin such bullion Into standard do!

If that I* Wall atroet docti Inc, it Is
the “twist" given by the authors of the
bill*, and nut by Tiik Timim-Rkcoriiicii,
What does the free eoltiaxe of silver meant
It msaus simply tbe r»storallon|or sliver lo

pled from tbe foundation of the aovernvvvs'it
down lo tun, wben It was demonetised In the
Interest of the espllsllsiv of llml Britain
and tbe Mortb,
It doesn't mean any sueb thing. "The
restoration of silver to Its old place In
our currency," Is the remonetization c
silver; an affair wholly Independent of
the "free coinage" of silver; and one
which could be iust as satisfactorily ac
oompllsbcd by divesting the question <
"free coinage” altogether.

was that the stiver now wortbTUcents would

“The free coinage of silver" means
nothing whatever except the privilege
of taking silver bullion tu the mint and
having It coiued Into dollars fur the
bene tit of the owner of the bullion, be
gcttlngwbatever profit may exist between
tbe market value of the 4I2| grains of
ballion and the silver dollar coined out
of It. What the Constitution speaks of
above as the result of “free coinage" is
what ia claimed for "remonetization,"
• wholly different matter. The rernone,
■ tlxation ol ailver Is expected to so cn
hance tbe market value of bullion that
the present margin of ::<> per ceut. will
disappear; but even that proposition is
stoutly denied by the anti-sliver people,
and certainly could never be accom
plished by making the coinage of silver
free to mine owners; because the lower
the market ptice the greater their mat-
««» of prutit from free cuinage.
As will be seen from the confusion of
l|a Ideas, ‘he Constitution fails to dis
criminate between the “remonetization"
and the “free coinago" of sliver, and at
tribute* to the letter the consequences
attaching to the other; Just as The
TlMEa-REcoiiuEii vtsted was done by
the misinformed messes; when the truth

Jwt ee easily accomplished without any
“free coinage” at all, by the government

A NEW l.EAL.
One of the most prominent, well
fonneu aud sensible men iu tbe Third
party contingent in bumier county, in
speaking of the defeat of tbe free coin,
age bill in Congress, said to the editor
of Tiie TiHEs-KKrotioEii:
“The passage of a silver bill is one
the least im| ortant of the meaaurrs ol
reform that we want; ,;e demand a radl
cal and sweeping reform in financial
matteis; In a word, we want a new ileal
all around, and we will take nothing
less.”
"A new ileal” is a pluase ti n: lies
represents the unrest ot the people wh
are di.*at|.f;e<i with thu piesent order
things; and are solacing then.■•Ives that
so desperate Is the present situatlo
that any change wlli be for the lietter.
Illgl.t here Ilea the gteat danger to
our |ieople; a desire to bleak loose, and
make experiments, regardless of their
probable outcome, Is one of tbe nvos*
dangerous aeutimenta that can pervade
tbe masses; for such Ideas have always
heretofore in the world's history beeu
tbe prelude to scarcity and bloodshrd,
In whose train nlwny* follow wreck and
ruin.
“'Tla better to endure the Ills we have,
than lly to othors that we know nut of."
The TlMKH-KEConiiKli warns the pet
people that iu tbo luce of u well or
ganized nnd thoroughly nulled enemy

It le the duty of every Southern man tu

campaign until Republicanism I. ill

the people ran be brought shout lint

supremacy, aud tbe continuance of all
the evils that now alHict the cottutry.
There is no ho|>eof bettering our condi
tion until Republican protection, bogus
pensions and general extravagance are
destroyed root and branch. It Is barely
possible to do this by tbe nvoat thorough
unity and harmony among Democrats
any defection from the ranks at this
critical juncture simply guarantees Re
publican victory ar-d the fastening of
another four years of the fetters which
are so galling to all; and especially to
those who arc sc. king an Impcasilil
remedy through the channel of a nev
patty. Whatever a new party can d
now, or will he able to do hereafter, can
he ilouc Ivy the Democratic party, and to
that alone must the people of the South
look for relief now and hereafter.

ural interests of the country, we think
that It would have been good |Hiiitics
for the Democratic house of reprrsentn
lives to have placed the responsibility
for the defeat of the bill upon I'resldent
llarrison and tbe Republican party. The
fact* ate that the candidates of each
luvrty desired the defngfri tbe free silver

desire it any more eagerly than l'rcai-

party appears to have gained nny ad
vantage, each being equally committed
against free silver coinage.—Augusta

A NEKIOt'H KEULECT.
A gentleman from Marohallville, and
tlio ;■each region of Georgia, say* that
Incalculable quantities of that fruit are
being I Ml because there is no canning
establishment there. The loss of so
many |ieaches means the loss of so many
thousands of dollars—^enough to erect
and put In operation a multitude of can-

Iu a variety of ways surplus crops of
peaches can tie utilized. They cau be
dried, made into jam and preserves, as
well as canned fresh, in the North, the
parings of tiie fruit are sold to distillers
for the manufacture of brandy, and the
pits to chemists for conversion into
prussic acid. Xutliiug is wasted.
Tiie |ieoplc of the great fruit region of
■uthwest Georgia should leatu from
their Northern brethren how to make
money out of this crop aud its auxiliary-
products. The people of the Mouth are,
