MACON. GA„ SATURDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 8. 1891. | Dally, I ttlnglu glnglti Copy.js L'.uu. SPEAKER CRISP ‘ AND HOKE SMITH Wore the Star Orators at the Big Democratic Rally Last Night in Atlanta. « GOOD WORK DONE BY CONGRESS Speaker Crlep Stand. Squarely By the Party in Its Struggle to Carry Out tlie Reform Policy of the Platform* Atlanta, Sept. 7.—Speaker Crisp and Secretary Uoke Smith were the Btnr orators at a Democratic mass meeting held hero tonight. This tvns Judgo Crisp’s lirst speech In the campaign, Ills lirst public utterance since congress adjourned. Prominent Democrats cauio from all over the state to attend the meeting. The Populists are making a thorough canvass of Georgia nud the Democrats aro enlisting nil their Lest men In their campaigu. DoGlve’s opera house, where the meeting was held, was crowded and 2,500 people were turned away. Steve Clay, chairman of tlio Democratic ex ecutive committee of Georgia, presided at tonight’s meeting and Introduced the speakers. ■ Groat enthusiasm prevailed. Speaker Crisp was greeted with tre mendous applause when he was pre sented. He said: When the flfty-tlUrd congress met, in August of last year, It wots confronted with difficulties which seemed almost insurmountable: trade was paralyzed, manufacturing had almost ceased, la- labor was Idle, our banking Institutions were failing, and confidence, the life and soul of commerce, was destroyed. Xu so far us into deplorable condition was attributable to legislation, the IRe- puoiican party was responslgie. For more tnau thirty years that party hud made our financial and economic laws- Until tne meeting of the llfty-thlrd congress the Democratic party was without power. The condition which coin roll ted us, While not wholly, was very largely aue to-ovll legislation. The free coinage of silver had been discon tinued, the gold became the standard of value, lu Is7a partial coinage was resumed. In 1830 this law was re pealed. and soon thereafter coinage of silver practically ceased. These acts • of the itepublieanpart y resulted In so le.-^ealng the volume of money of ilual redemption -as to nctyose'tile burden of all debtors and impair the confidence of the people In the power of The gov ernment and of banking Institutions to redeem their outstanding obligations. A law and a practice which allows n citizen to puy Ills obligations to the government In silver and at the same time permits him to demand of the government gold In redemption of its obligations Is manifestly unreasonable and unjust, and In the nature of the case must impair confluence and tend to produce panic. For thirty years the Republicans had been building up tariff walls around the country, and In 1830 passed what they called a perfect pro tective tariff law. A protective tariff restricts trade and commerce, it limits the market in which we must buy und depresses the market In which we must aell. It is a tax upon u foreign product which, the consumer here must pay. By 'taxing his foreign competitor, ypu enable the domestic manufacturer to Increase the price of his wares to the extent of the tax, and this, too, the consumer here must pay. When you hay foreign goods und pay tho duty. It goes Into the treasury and is called n "'tax:” when you buy the domestic product and pay the Increased price, It goes Into jhe pocket of the American manufacturer, and Is called "protec tion.’’ The location of the manufactory de termines tho name, but the rate deter mines the price. Under such a tariff you must buy In n market where com petition ls'dcstroyed and where scarci ty is created by law. You must sell at prices fixed In a market where free trade and tho law of supply and de mand revalls. Trade and commerce Is the exchange of commodities. A protective tariff pre vents us from exchanging our surplus of cotton, corn, wheat, meat and other fann products for the Burplus of man ufactured goods abroad. We freely ex port our product, but that for which we exchange It Is so heavily taxed os to make the exchange unprofitable. Commerce, ceases when gain Is gone: One cannot buy unless he can sell; nor can ho sell unless he buys. Commerce and agriculture go hand in hand; when one ceases the other languishes. The law which destroys the one nukes the other unprofitable. Taxed crude mate rials Injure and depress manufactur ing. It wanted the markets of > the world, but under the protective tariffs has not been alble to enter them. A protective tariff fosters and builds up trusts and monopolies. It creates no wealth—tt only prevents natural and Just distribution. Thirty years of such n system did much to produce the con- attlous existing when the fifty-third congress mot. •What has that Democratic congress •o fsr done for the people? The first matter considered was the ilnanclal one -what should or could be done on the sliver question. We had pledged ourselves against the makeshift Sher man law, and In favor of both gold end silver as the standard money of the country. By an agreement urrievd at between Democrats, we determined to tike the sense of the house on the free nud unlimited coinage of sliver at sev eral ratios, .lifter full debate, a sepa rate vote was bod on each, and on the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. The results you know. While not professing to understand the question fully In all its bearings, I have si ways been in favor of free coinage or silver. I am in favor of It now. I believe the fears of our friends who •i pose tt are largely Imaginary; and I belter* ;lto enactment of such a law would affopl great relief to the people of the country. So feeling, I need not siy that to me personally the result of t to vote on the free coinage of silver w: ' a great dl.-appoitument. This ques tion Is nor r. titled. With cur great e.regie for tariff re form you are familiar. Thirty years of cl.is3 legislation had built up lit this country large trusts, large monopolies and large eomglnaltons of capital. All these intercom were arrayed against us, and In the bitter contest through which tve passed were earnestly and actively aided by a compact Republi can minority. All that wealth, nil that energy, mid all that great littelllgeuce and capacity could do, was dally and hourly done to defeat the cause of the people. Under these conditions our progress was slow. The house framed and (tasked a tariff Mil. Thia wen t to ithe senate af ter a long and tedious struggle -and the senate passed the bid-with umendincntii. The botkM iwas not eattofloJ w.ith the amendments: -the hill iwimi -to confer ence; for move than a month, with dally meetings, the conferreea tailed to reach an -agreement. Finally -the ques tion was presented in such faahlon -thnt wo must either accept the senate amendment or have no bill, thus per- nritJUrig the odlou3 McKinley bill to re- m-aSn upon the statue bo’aks. When -we were convinced such was the true sit uation we did not hesitate a moment: wo accepted Ithe senate iamendments, and so the hill became a law. This bHl 5s not all -we hoped for; It contains provisions we dep.'ore, provis ions which the house by separate bills Immediately repealed, and yet, taken as a whole, it goes further In the direc tion of reMef to a tax-ridden people than any hill that has been considered in any congress e-lnce the war. Its reduc tion of rates nreigreafer than those pro posed In either of the Morrison teals or in the 'Mills 'bill. It place* wool, copper, tin lumber, salt, landing -twine, bags ana bagging, agricultural Implametriu and many other avWclea on the free Hit. I? nearly every oohedifle there are large reductions. In the Aron, steel and wool en schedules there are many reductions exceeding 75 per cent On the basis of the Importations of 1892-93, on woolen manufactures alone there is a reduction llL t1 ' 1 e 0 0 ns u-'Iter of more than (153,000,- 030- On cdtton. on feltu, on common velvets and on hundreds of cither arti cles the reduction Is greater than 50 per cea't. • \ i,™„® a *9* on sugar.

SECRETARY SOUTH’S SPEECH- Secretary Smith spoke in part as fol- wIoj: in openklg his remarks the secretary reviewed the financial -trouble of the pas: eighteen months and congratulat ed the South a.i well aa Georgia uDon the excfBwt showing made.The atten tion of the commercial world had been attracted, and he predicted for tbutnec* clou a period of development and mark- 1 jjr isperity m\i«Ti .11 !i-\ - r ti*rf»ro w.m experienced. The Cotton S:.c-s and International Exposition wouL-3 pmve of great assistance in this work, but the attention of capital once secured, its confidence must also be won, and was therefore of thb utmost importance to the future welfare of -the siate that in the coming election, tho people of Geor gia should show to the world that the wild theories of the Populists had no foothold among them. Culling attention to the experience of .tiia-gfcat states'oTKauaja and Colora do und. ■ Populistic rule, the secretary ashed who would wish to nee Georgia follow tile leadership of u Lowe!Hug or a Watte? Bid as was the record of tho third party in the West, <ho crazy the ories of their leaders iu congress e/ere enough to stagger copsprehenaton aud shock the thoughtful men- They sought disbursements amounting in the aggre- ga*ie over ^j.ooo.oco.ooo. Till* people of Georgia could not afford to endorse such a party. Tho state would go disorgan ised locally and discredited gefore the world, if it appeared to have even lis tened to their impracMcdgle theories. Few or Iheir beliefs were worthy of discussion, but there was one which seemed to have proved attractive, al though when carefully investigated it must be classified with their other the ories as almost equally wild and im practicable^ He referred to the free und unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to X by the United States alone, aud described It as a plan utterly at variance with sound budnc;&* principles aud /fraught with Incalculable evils. lie did not want hla position misunder stood. Ho was a thorough bimetallist, atrong in Ills faith, and no one could be more unalterably opposed to tho adoption of a single gold standard. Such a course would brlpg about a con traction of tho currency calculated to cripple industries and to lessen the demand for supplies. The injury In flicted by a single standard curreucy had/ been recently demonstrated abroad, und the evil effect had been felt here upon the products of this country raised for foreigu consump tion. Ho believed those evil effects couhi be lessened by proserving the present per capita of currency; but where three-fourths of. our great cot ton product gojs abroad, three-fourths of -the injury could not be reached ex cept by the successofblmetalnsm ln the places of consumption. The secretary described -the eight dif ferent kinds of money now used la this country, and maintained that 'the in- stum any one of them wvut to :i pre mium it would become a commodity for private waicy ana contraction would follow; but by preserving them upon an equality and, by an increase, equal to the growth of the business and pop- ula<tion, contraction could be prevent ed.. Tills would be accomplished, first, by changing the bullion in n sliver dollar eo us to require 100 cento worth of tdlver ln every dollar. Second, by international agreement, which. If oe- cured, would prevent tlie necessity of changing the ratio; or, -third, by calling in all money of same denotnlnKlona, say ton .dollars or loan, not consisting of silver, and fclving sliver tho right of way. !Ho especially urged the repeal o*f the 10 per cent, tax on titate banks as a remedy within the control or tlhe United •State* of great value. He sketched the history of silver, coinage ln the UrOXl States and deduced, from i'r several cun- cflusLbns which he 2ield to bo Irresisti ble. First, the people of the united Btatcb havo Uhe u^e of seventy’ times cs much aHvbr no m^ncy of -fpll legal ten der as-before 1873. Second, the depredation ln the value of silver Is due to causes other than Its treatment In Mio Urtited Sta'tcw. It Is, therefore, evident .thirft Stiver at a raftlo of 10‘to 1, if unlimited oolnage was at- tem’Dteil In Ithls country, mu.*i cither flood our mlntH with enormous quarfti- Ues cf f/llveT, wlrWh would n't once de? prrt^ate the value of our money, or It w*ou8d be coined onlv 1n reasonable quantities and then could not aufbutan- blally affect The mencamfillo value of the bullion throughout Uhe world. In either event we wbukl be fbroed to tho exclusive use of a dollar worth only a little more than half the pretseni*. dolkiT. at would cause tihe seUUemsntto of all contracts at the ra/to of 60 cen‘s ou the dollar. It would require tho re organization of all prices to be adapted to the now deprocintted currency. Iii would compel a change of all legislation In fixlrwr salaries, it ivoukl necessitate tho onthc readfuoUnent ct the privu<te and 80vernmcnfc.il bucSfiei« of the Unoted -StatcM to meet comhtlons caused by a degraded dollar.

IT WAS A DRAMATIC CLIMAX To a D*y or S.ii.sllan., and'Won th. Goad Opinion of 111. Judgo I’r.- •Idlug — Hinny Wltn.Mi. on x the Stand, Chicago, Sept. 7.—Just before court adjourned for the day In tho American Hallway Union contempt casts, Attor ney IV. IV. Erwin, on behalf of the de fense, made tin Impassioned speech ob- Jectlflis to tho introduction of testimony showing mob violence, on tho ground that it would tend to create 11 public sentiment against the defendants, and that this public scntlmeut might Intlu- cnco tho court to strain a point nud punish them because of public outcry. The ‘court lu reply ussmued nil re sponsibility. .Mr. Erwin's plea came ns a dramatic climax ,n a day of sensa tions. I An attempt was made by counsel for the guferument to compel tho defend ants to produce their documents, rec ords, telegrams and private correspon dence. Attorney Erwin, ns soon ns ho learned of this Intention, asked tho court to rule on the question of tho de fendants being ciUed to obey such a subpoena. Judge Woods said he was inclined to think tho defendants neod not produce tholr private documents, hut decided to hear lrom the prosecution next Tues day. Several witnesses tostilled to tho In terruption of tmtlle. To nil such testi mony till) defense entered an objection on the ground that the officers and di rectors of the American Hallway Union were not responsible for the nets of the mobs. Erwin ero-itcd n mild son- satimi by objecting t> the testimony of tho lirst Witness, F. ],. Krlcger of .Mil- wnukco, on the ground that ho might be one of (he tuea Indicted by n federal grand Jury for some offense during tho strike. “I understand," said Mr. Erwin, “thnt n DOlubep of men who have been in- dieted li»vp been subpoenaed to testify lu this ease. This man may be one of thc-m." The witness said he had not boon Jn- flick'd, and was allwvod to proceed. The court ruled, however, that men who were Indicted might be put on- tho stmid, but could nit be 00mpolled to g.-ve testimony Incriminating them selves. Among those who will testify nro James Hogan nud AY. ]■;. itnriiH, both defendants lu Ibis ease. .Mrs. Ho- gau will also bo called.
