FINANCIAL DISTRESS.
A Sojourner at Lookout Mountain Sug

Lookout Mountain. July It.—To the
Editor of the Telegraph: While so
many people *re proposing remedies for
■he financial distress of tfce country I
would like to otter an humble sugges
tion for removing the Ignorance of eco
nomic laws which are largely responsi
ble for that distress. 1 have juat been
tied up for two weeke by the great rail
road strikes In a rural mining district,
where protection Ideas hav£ hem graft
ed upon tbs fullscle* of populism, and
the experience ha* been an object l-'e-
Sbn showing tho great need of dissemi
nation ot the rudiments of political
economy among Hie masses- Pur in

that the remedy for over-laxailon Is
more taxation. This good man in* been

actually did not know that ‘‘protection’
I* only another name tor taxation.
This Is only one specimen of the Ig
norance that prevail*, even among the
better claas of voters, concerning the
great financial questions they are called
upon to settle through their chosen
representatives. The remedy la simple
Let the rudiments of political economy
be taught In ‘our public schools and
make attendance unon them compulsory
upon every child under 14 years of age.,
I dotit mean, of course, that every
school bov should be carried through
the Intricacies of Adam Hmtdte.ind Johv
Blrnrt Mill, but Avery citizen who Is tc-
have, a hand In Timing tbe llnmcia,
policy of this great nation should nl
leas! be tauRht to define.accurately such
word* as taxation, protection, wealth,
capital, value, currency, money, and
especially to understand tile true func
tions of money as a mere standard or
measure of values. Then we should not
hear any more rot about relieving tax
ation by protection, or maintaining a
double standard In our currency. There
never can be and never haa been a
double standard fbr anything unless we
except the double standard In morals
for men and women, and I don’t think-
nnybody will Claim that thla has worked
very well.
Lest any reader should »u3pect lheaa
remarks of harboring n proclivity In
favor nr a gold standard, 1 will add
that I believe the true and ontarril
standard of value Is neither silver nor
gold, but labor, the only producer of
.wealth, and that the currency of the
future will be reckoned not In dollars,
dimes and cent*, but In dayc. hours and
minute* of labor. We are a long Wiiy
from that good time as yet. but we
cannot begin too soon to educate our
people for It. E. F. Andrews.

Tina has been of advantage to ship,

be restored. If they are not, the
snci.vtlon may lie disrupted.
Thirty-five road* and steamship line*
were represented at today’s session by
upward of iti prominent omclats. Pres
ident C. H. Phlntzv ot the Atlanta and
Wcat Point road was re-elected chair
man ot the meeting and \V. L. McGill
kept the records. Routine bustness was
sobn disposed of and a preliminary dis
cussion of the main question was then
participated in by several members.
The association'* commissioner, Mr.
E. B. Stahlman of Atlanta, Introduced
a proposed schedule of rates for the
coming year. A partial reading at once
developed numerous objections and the
chairman referred the matter to the ex
ecutive committee for revision. The
cuidmlttee will. It Is expected, be able
to report It al the session tomorrow.
During the evening the members were
busy In committees and quiet confer
ences on the aubleet. and the general
opinion seemed to lie In favor of a ret
toratlon of rates Augus tl to about the
figures ot a year ago. If thl* action is
not finally accomplished at the present
meeting, which may laal two or three
days. It la said there may be a Uelt

THE yiOILANT J8 VICTOP..
The Little YankeeTUit Lett the British
Curtor In Itii Lurch.
Bangjr, Ireland, July 17.—'The Vigilant
Acquitted hcr*eif trlorloualy today la her
•eccmd contest over the Royal l r lster
Yacht Club'a course of twelve turns for
the Rear Commod'^tr's oup, nUtttfl at
|rto, and a c*0h prize of li*>S. Home of
the !u>*tre of her victory was Inst by tbe
failure of tbe Britannia to finish. But
nearly three-quarters of the course had
been tail over when the Britannia carried
.uway the juw« of her garr and limped
tack home. The lead of the Yankee
yacht was about six minutes. As the
breeze hefd steadily ail day, she JoubtteM
would have increased her -idvantage acv-
♦ral minutes in the ‘ost three legn. There
v.ms a strong westerly wind, with a squally
shower now and then. The wind was
too brisk for club topsails, and Doth
yachts carried ordinary canvas aloft.
The tfun sounded at 11 o'clock and sim
ultaneously the racers reached the start
ing line together. The Vigilant hauled
on the starboiud .tack, the Britannia to
windward. They crossed simultaneously
at ]1:0D 12. The Vigilant sounded the mark
boat one minute and fifteen second* anead
of her rival, and »he constantly increased
her lead. The quickness of the Britannia
In stay* enabled her to pick up a few
seconds on each turn, but that did her
no good and would not have done so had
she sailed the full course. At was dis
tinctly a Vigilant wind, with a choppy
sea, hitherto supposed to be particularly
favored to cutters, but the Vigilant kept
ruce horse gait.
Suddenly the UrlttAnla came up

«alT. The shackle »ron fell \o the deck,

was out but not seriously hurt. It Is
thought the Britannia’s nVahnp was d
tn her Jumping In tho seas, which caused
the itufT io thrash around. After clesr-
ii.g away the wreckage she bore away
for home, giving up tne contest, which,
in the event of the wind holding, was
now regarded as a euro thing ior the
Vigilant. The Yankee speeder raided over
tho course nnd under tho prl-e, which
doubtless will be divided among the V.lgt-
ljnt’s crew.
The Vigilant housed her topmast
way home. She covered the fifty mile
course in 4 bourse, 4J minutes and M
seconds, or at the rate of uomowhat more
than ten knots an hour, whkjn, consider
ing the many turns and fourteen miles
cf hard windward work, te exceptionally
fast. If she had been pushed she prob
ably would have reduced this time by
half an hour, but as her victory was
assured she came home not as swiftly
she would have done if the Britannia
had bson charing her.
George Gould and Howard Gould were
on the Atalanta with a large party and
followed tbe racers over the course,
fclvcry English yachtsman with whom the
correspondent talked said that It wap ap
parent when the accident happened to
the Britannia that she had no chance
whatever of catching up.
Britlin sportsmen who saw the Yankee
yacht In the races at New York and
who have been enthusiastic backers of
her, were overjoyed at the fulfilment of
their prophecy. Aft the yachts had sailed
three-quarters of tno course when tne
Britannia was forced to withdraw, and as
the Vigilant had a lead bf six minutes,
there was no question that she world
win. It is conjectured that ihe would
have beaten the Britannia by about 0
minutes actual time, allowing that she
would have gained on tho last threo legs
or the course as much an she did gain
ut tho liman of the second round. v <■
THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
The Alien Immigration Bill Discussed
In the House of Lords.
London, July 17.—In the house of
Ibrdft today Lord Sallftbury formally
moved a second reading of the alien
Immigration bill.
Lord Rosebery opposed the bill, on
the ground that such proposils ought
nut to be made to parliament except
upon the Initiative of the government.
It was not through neglect on the part
of the prreent ministers, ho declared,
that the allon question hud not been
touched. When Lord Salisbury was In
power the case .against alien immigra
tion was Infinitely stronger than it Is
now, ns immigration was much greater;
yet tlio Conservative ministers then op
posed special legislation on the grsunds
that aliens were few and the right of
asylum tn England ought to be upheld.
Lord Rosebery quoted ,copiously from
Btntlstlcs.flhowlng that Immigration was
now at a lower point than it ind bee.i
In many years. The. bill, he said, had
not the slightest chance bf becoming a
law, and it was, therefore, a waste of
time to put It through the house of
lords. On the authority of the home of
fice. he denied the allegations that any
plbt against a foreign government or an
ofilcla! of a foreign government hail
been hatched in England since the pres
ent ministry came Into power. He ad
viced Lord Salisbury by all means to
drop the measure.
Lord Salisbury expressed regret at
the government's refusal to support the
bill, whlrti was necessary legislation In
the direction of protecting the work
ingmen against the competition of low
priced labor, and also ns a preventive
of England’s becoming a permanent
asylum for Anarchistic refugees. Tho
question was so serious that he declined
to drop the measure.
Earl Cowper hoped that Lord 8alls«
bury would not divide the house bn the
measure, inasmuch ns there was no
prospect of its becoming a law during
this session.
A division was then taken and the
bill pawed the second reading—S9 to 67.
In the house of commons Sir William
Harcourt moved tho third reading of
the budget bill. Sir John Lubberdeck
moved the rejection of the bill. Sir
William Harcourt announced that he
would mike a statement of the parlia
mentary programme of the government
for the remainder of tho session.

How the Horses Ran at Brighton Beach
and WeMtfngton Park.
Brighton Beach, July 17.-There was a
good sized crowd at the track hers today
and the talent still had blood in th'eir eyes
to recover their recent losses. A heavy
fog hung over the track during the first
two races, which made the tecktrs of
favorites a little ghy. but when the an
nouncement was made that Mary 8., Who
was nent to the post a favorite, proved
to be a winner in the first race, they
arrived at the conclusion that thrir luck
had changed. Favorites carried off the
honors In every race today with the ex
ception of the second. In this race Jersey
Belle was backed down to even money
because a quiet tip had. been given out
that she was u “sure thing;" but before
the horses had entered the fog bonk It
was easily seen that the favorite was
not in it. His Grace, a 7 to 1 shot, won,
defeating Half Mine by two lengths. Don
Alonzo and Candelabra ran a dead heat
in the fourth race, according to the de
cision of the Judges* but many claim
that the decision was wrong, maintaining
that the “Don" won by a short head.
AT WASHINGTON PARK.
Chicago, July 17.—Four favorites out al
six won today. It was clear sailing for
the favorites up to the fifth race, which
was won by Debracy at 6 to 1. The last
race was won in adrlve by Amelia May.
Highland wns second. Dr. Rtos was badly
beaten In the* fourth race. He seemed
to be very sore and in need of rest.
The favorites showed up In great shape
yesterday. Five out of six at Brighton
Beach. Four out of six at Washlfagton
Park. Then, there were good odus against
all of them. And there*© where tne fun
comes In. Pavilion crowded. Specula
tion lively- Nobody gets tired of the
horses.
