lilt. ATKINSON AND SILVER.
Wo roimbllsli this morning, from tho
Atlanta Constitution, that port.on of a
stenographic report of Mr. Atkinson’*
Greenville speech which (lento with Ibo
sliver question. Tho Democratic can-
elldn to discusses tho iiucst.'ou at very
considerable length, with great ability
and with frankuoks. We hope that Ids
address will be brought to the attention
of every citizen of Hie slate and recelro
tho eareful study It deserves.
Ills s|iceeli shows that Hr. Atkinson
bn* n Hrm grasp on tlio Democratic
principles of finance nisi that he Is a
bimetallist—not merely a "silver" man.
It will be seen that ngi’.n mid again lie
Insists thst Iho "parity” of the dollars
coined by Hie government to the umtte
of llrst Importance. It Is tho Demo
cratic deiuuud, he gays, “thaYevery dol
lar, whether gold or sliver, shall ho of
equal mid exchangeable vulue.". Again:
"Kverylhlng, whether coru or cotton or
other products—money Itself—seeks tho
h'ghest market—goes where It enn get
the most lu exchange. Tho wunt of
parity between the silver unit gold dol
lar lends to tiling nbout this result ami
to reduce the country to monometal
lism—to the use of tho cheaper metal
only, to the exclusion of tlio other. Tho
people, ns a mass, are not directly In
terested lu Iho product of tlio metals,
nml are, therefore, chiefly concerned
about no speolflo ratio. They are in-
tereatml In tlio use of both ns standard
money, and '.n their coinage upon that
ratio which will secure genuine bimet
allism—tlio circulation of both dollars,
sldo by side, upon a purity. The gqn ,1-
Ity of the debt paying and purchasing
power to Iho thing iiIkiiii which the peo
ple, are concerned, and tlui absence of
this equality to destruetl'Vo to the com-
mcren of a people, (o Its growth, Its
progress and ils greatness.” Again;
"It must be born;u mind, however, Unit
tho matter of paramount lmportahco to
the circulation on a parity.’’ Again:
“The mailer of Vital Importance In the
lieginiflng, or subsequently, Is not the
mutter of ratio, bin the fact of nuking
silver a standard money and securing
tho parity of our dollars. For this rea
son only tluvratio.to Important.”
All of ibis to sound—"sound as a dol
lar”—a gold dollar, or a silver dollar
with 100 eenu* worth of uictat tn it.
It embodies iho very basic principle of
bimetallism, nud states that principle
with convincing force. Mr. Alklnson
never did bettor work for his party than
when lie reiterated and enforced Hint
principle In iho opening speech of Ills
campaign—a speech sure to bo widely
read nml certain to lio taken ns an au
thoritative expression, of Democratic
opinion hi Georgia.
Mr. Atkinson could not have been
happier In his O,scission of iho princi
ple Involved, hut we are free to sa.v that
ho to anything hut happey in his dis
cussion of methods. Having laid doavn
the pr-nclple that "iho uuttler of vital
Importance lu the beginning, or subse
quently. Is uot the matter ef ratio but
tho fact of making silver a standard
money nud seenrlug the parity of our
dollars," ho demands, la effect, that
free coluago Ik- immediately catered
U»00 without regard to tho parity of
gold am] silver dollara. “When we
have,provided for tho free ohd uullin-
Ited coinage of silver at an agreed ra
tio," he says, "ivy can then sec what Af
fect (his luerensod demand lut upon Its
value, ami If a change cf ratio Is nec
essary It can lx> made with selentltto
soenrary."
The use of tho term "agreed ratio”
suggests that a ratio higher than l( to
1 should !m- adopted for the experiment,
but a ratio lower than that uow pre
vailing In the markets. In tho hope that ’ ni "
the new demand for silver might raise
the price of silver to the now ratio.
There to also in Mr. Atkinson’s propo
sition the admission that this hope
might be disappointed.' The- proposi
tion, therefore, as we understand it, to
that we guess as nearly ns we can what
will lio the relative value cf gold nml
silver under the new conditions to lie
created, and at that ratio open the
mints to the free and unlimited coinage
of s-lver. If It should turn out that our
guesa was a bad one, why. we can re
adjust the ratio with "sckuUflo accu
racy."
It seetna to us that this proposition
Is a bad one; llrst. because It violate*
the principle Just laid down bp Mr. At-
Idnsou that “the mailer of vital Im
portance, In the beginning or subse
quently, to out tho matter of ratio, but
the fact of making silver a standard
money and securing the parity of our
dollars." When the admission that a
readjustment of the ratio may be nec
essary Is made tfrat Is equivalent to an
admission that jl the beginning (lie
parity of our dolLars may not be pre
sorted. We do uot tliink such a risk
ought io be taken. The crisis caused
by a premium or gold, tbe expulsion
of that metal froiu the currency and
tbe Cousupient scarcity of money would
be tho severest the country bus ever
kmnvn. The oubsequmit readjustment
of the ratio with scientific accuracy
would not cure the harm already donCj
mil ii di dy can say when that .read*
Jiisuiient would be uade. What time
Would lie allowed for silver to establish
its true relations with gold, as Mr. At
kinson proposes? One year? Five
years? Ten years? During this one,
live or ten years would we have bimet
allism or silver monometallism? Where
would the country's ipXHVXKMlW of
gold be during that time? If it went
into close retirement os took a voyage
to Europe, what, would wo do to sup
ply the deficiency thus created?
Mr. Atkinson’s exposition of the prin
ciples which should guide us ill dealing
with the sliver question to, ns we have
said, exceedingly aide and satisfactory
lo believers In u sound, bimetallic cur
rency. We object only to the method of
reaching free coinage proposed-by him
because It to not in nceonl with those
principles. We believe It our duty to
enter this objection because the Silver
question to outside of slate politics nml
has properly no place In the campaign
which Mr. Atkinson is making for tlio
governorship, Id which be has the ar
dent support of the Telegraph. Speeches
dealing .with this question can, have
only an educating effect, nml the Tele
graph feels itself perfectly free to lake
what it regards as the right side lu the
discussion of this question, no matter
who takes the other.
THE STROLLER.
BACON IN SOUTHWEST GEOUGIA.
The Amcrlcus Times-Ilcconler, the
most Influential paper of tho section of
Hie state in which it to published, to
strongly supporting MaJ. Bacon for the
senate and predicts that “when Un
votes are counted It will be found Unit
all those from this section will go to
tho peerless sou of Bibb. Among the
candidates for United States senator,'
*t says, "Hon. A. 0. Bacon stands pro
eminent as the one deserving to be
chosen. A muti who stands for Dcmoc
racy as Jefferson taught It and us the
peoplo have always understood it, for
equal rights to all and Special privl
leges to noue, in- to beyond all doubt tho
choice of tiiis suction of the state to rep
resent Georgia lu tbe upper bouse of
congress. MaJ. Bacon's views on all
public questions nro wall known. Ilu
to heart and soul for Ilia rights nnd In
terests of the people, of the masses us
contradistinguished from tho classes.
On ull political issues lie is thoroughly
Id accord with the Chicago platform,
our stuto Democratic platform, and the
demands of the great majority of die
Democratic party."
Sumter has not always been found
standing by the side ot llibli ,n stnto
polities. That it does so .tow to signifi
cant of the strength which .MaJ. Bacon
is developing in nil pans of iliu stale.
People wild never favored him before
nro now niuong bis strongest nml most
enthusiastic .supporters.
"I think the flnrt candidate for coro
ner to announce that .he will have an
office tn the city will be the man to
be elected,” said an Influential ettisen
yesterday, and severs! others in the
crowd he was talking to said "me too."
About bine-tenth* of the svidden end
violent deaaka occur In the city and it
Is necessary chat the coroner should be
within easy reach of a majority t>f the
deaths when an inoueot Is deemed nec-
esmry. Coroner Knight la a good man
and a good, honest, conscientious coro
ner. but he eliould have an office In the
city, «o that he may be easHy found.
If a coroner cannot uncord to remain
at his office for a reasonable length of
Ume during the day tie ought to give
up the Jjo and Jet somebody have jt

By the way, wh.nt he* become of all

THE LOUISIANA REVOLT.
The desertion of the lamislnua sugar
planters sliuttld not occasion much sur
prise- Their action merely illustrates
tho fuel Illustrated a thousand times

that Interest. These gentlemen called
themselves DeutooraU, but they wero

tachment to tho Detuix-ratlu parly or

anlly to the exeflueion of the either. The
people, a« a mass, are not ailrcaMy in
terested In the product of the movtls.
and are. therefore, chiefly concerned

ested in the use of todth as atindand

ple are concerned, and the absence of
tfliU equality Is destructive «to the com
mence of a -peoarte. Ito its grwtftto, its
progress and fts greatness. Here, then,
is the fundamenttil difference between
Domocracy and Foputom on the silver
question—the Poouflets demand 'the
coinage of sMver at the rtltlo of 16 to 1,
whether the parity Is maintained nnd fl
dollar of cqtia* purchasing power, with
nil other.dollare Is secured or not; while
ttoe Democr.-vtaJnsISt Ihtrtt the raitio se
lected »ha#l secure Ibhe parity between
the dbllcra. avtoe'ther it be 16 to 1, or
some other ratto.
Judge 'Hines, in his speeoh a«t Griffin,
and as published ln 'ttoe People's Party
Fuper, said: “We are tor the Xre-e and
unlimited coinage cvf sliver a't 4he ratio
of 16 to 1. and we don't care anything
atooui parttv.” . . 4 ,
If it be true, as ttoe Populisms CantenT
ttoalt the rtiito Ca of no Importance, anil
that ittoe government has the power to
make the dollar at a given ratio with
regard to Uhe TelaJtlve vUlue of ttoe two
metals, why put In sixteen times in
much silver as gcCd? Why not coin
dollars composed of equal amounts er
each me thl? Why ncit Hectare for the
free and unlimited coinage of brans,
Iron, tin and paper? The free and un
limited coinage of the ‘two metals at a
ratto which does not maintain the par
ity would drive ihe dearer metal out
of circulation nnd reduce Mie country
to a single standard, with the . cheaper
metal as the standard. Instead of in
creasing, this would reduce the vWume
of our currency below what ft is now,
because under that .system ano metal
would go out of circulation, while with
one as Che recognized legal standard
and the o'ther as a subsidiary coin, we
can keep tooUh. to a large measure,
in
circulation. The difference between
Democr ite and PopuMitts upon the Oli
ver question Is a clear and a radical dif
ference. The Democrats are a unit on
the subject, so (far as the prin**ic>le nnd
purpose in view aTe concerned—all de
mand blmeHuMtsm and demand it upon
the honest dollar baste. We know tb?
rich aird the bankers would, under nny
Other system, protedt themselves, hoard
the sound money, and Mut the first .mrl
most dcfereelcss vkatimt* of an um-Hatola
money and a fluctuating currency would
be the farmers and tabooing classes.
•HOW SOLVED.
The Chicago platform recognises that
the question muy be solved by an lnter-
n'fljrhntal agreement, or by / !agl&taitiwi

THE SILVER QUESTION.
With what propriety can the third
party innrack the Democrats on the sil
ver question? Their representative! In’
congress made a record on tails ques
tion of which they cannot boose, end in
the canvna* of 1893 the third party lead

SERIOUS FEARS OF CHOLERA
The Marine Hospital Bureau Uneasy for
Fear It Will Reach Ibis Country.
Washington, Sept. 7.—The officials of
the marine hoipitul service display undis
guised anxiety as to the continued spread
of choi.-rx i.n Europe and a fear that tne
United States might not'be able to escapo
the pfcicue unlew the most strenuous pre-
ciutlonary measures are takcp at every
point ,
The latest reports In regard to the Ba
varian, who died ot Cumberland, IId., arc
regarded as not conclusive or satisfactory
by any means.
A ten days repert of Surgeon Fairfax
Irvin, of the marine hospital service, date !
from Glargow, Scotland. August 22, which
has Just been printed, states that the pe
riod covered by the report has been char
acterized by a marked spread of the dis
ease. especially in Austria, Hungary. Ger
many and Holland, which Is greater than
could have been expected and m excess or
that which obtains] last year.
It Is extremely difficult to obtain relia
ble information from France or Belgium.
An Informer, for example, from Mar
seilles has, for some time past, been un
der auepiclon, although the existence yf
cholera there Is strenuously denied by
the authorities. Late last week a fatal
attack occurred at Bordeaux In the person
of one wba had come from Marseilles
within tho previous forty-sight fiojrs..
Macsalfies must be regarded as a place
where true cholera Is existing, especially
most of the ports of the Medlterrohoan
have now quarantined against it.
' AMERICAN PHARMACISTS.
Asheville, X. C„ Bcpt. 7.—There is a
feeling among the druggUm In uttcnil-
anec at the forty-semml auuual con
vention of the American I’himnuceuti-
cal Association that some steps should
be taken to regulate the colleges of
pharmacy In the country. It Is claimed
that too many colleges turn out gradu
ates after ten months courses, and tho
thinkingdruggists claim that tills short
term of study is absurd nnd they claim
that at least four years of study lu
school and drag stores is necessary to
a thorough knowledge of pharmacy.
Hi is idea was introduced by 0. S. N,
Hollsberg of Chicago. The matter Is
still under discussion, hut a commit
tee will probably be appointed to-try
to get the colleges to agree to make Iho
changes. The pharmacists were given
an excursion to Hot Springs on a spe
cial train today.
