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."

"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 who wlH-ond there are plenty of them who twill.

When ohls parity doe^* not exist the imetoil ithat is unden'alue— lhalt to. worth more In bullion than *n the ctrtn—wcoeo out of circulation and 19 boanied; or «oes out of the country in seancto of the UMTket where It can buy the cnorft. Everythin, whether cjrttoo, corn or other product—money Jtoelf— eeeks ’the highest market—goes where It can gat the most In exchange. The wurit of parity between tfae .<lver ana flofld dollar ten4s to brln« about th.o result and to reduce the country to mon* omotalltom—to ithe use of cheaper metal 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 nibouft no epeoific ra'tlo. They are inter ested in the use of todth as atindand money, and 4n rtheir coinage upon ihat radio which «wlll secure genuine bimetal lism—ithe circulation *of brttU dofilari, rtde toy Bide, upon a parity. The equal ity of the deat-ipaylng und purchasing power Is ittoe thing atoout nr hlch the peo 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.

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. MAGNLIIh wtSVINE..
