itheir niinta were Just as. open to It an

Fra ace lost the power to maintain tho
equality of her Bold and silver money
when''the mints of Germany mid tho
Frilled State* were closed Against sil
ver, and acknowledged that sbo had
lost It by ctoartig per own. Another Is
that since Franco waa, for her own
safety, obliged to close her mints
agnlbst silver; various other countries'
have followed her example, until there
Is ifnwlicre In the world a country not
exclusively ^on tho silver basts which
permit* BTelffeo coinage of silver. All
theso fails arc closely related to each
other. The fact that France once
maintained free clnago ought not to bo
detiiched from the equally Important
fact Hint for the Inst twenty .tears she
lias been confessedly tinabio to do so
aud bus kept her mints tightly dosed
against silver—more tightly than the
mints of <he United B,talcs have been
since tho repeal of tho Bhermau law.
A FEW FACTS.
The Atlanta Conntltution says:
"The M«con Telegraph, which. In. com
mon with a tow other newspapers. Is en
gaged In the effort to popularise the finan
cial views of John Rhcrman In a somewhat
modified form, endeavors to answer, tns
tacts and arguments, which we press upon
Its attention from lime to time, by deciar-
Inc that the Constitution sympathises
with the purporeo of the Populists on the
financial question. This Is not a very com
plete answer to any fact or argument on
tho silver question, so rtr as we can ses.
The demands of sn' honest and economi
cal administration of the government, and
for an Income lax are both Democratic.
Tho demand for Hit free coins*# or silver
would be Democratic If It did not Include
a demand for a axed ratio In advance
of knowledge of the etTect Hist free coltt-
s*e at III lo t would Wave on tbs commer
cial value of silver bullion. Thv mainte
nance of a lower ratio by Francs ror
seventy years It pretty strong evidence
that the reopening of our mints to ailver
at the ratio of IS to 1 w&uld equalise the
legal and commercial values or silver. As
the Macon Telegraph pays no attention
to tho facts of hIMory ana the logical
deductions that are lo be made trom them,
ws shall not press the point."
Tho Populist newspaper organ enr-
toons John Sherman as tho Dov'.l, with
hoofs, horns and pitchfork. Tho Con
stitution docs nut go quilt* so fur, hut
It bus long used lilt name to tUnm men
and policies to which It wns opposed.
No doubt our contemporary thinks the
acutcuco which couples tho names ot
(lie Telegraph and John Shermuu a
strong argument, btvnuso it knows that
John Mutuum Is not liked lu this part
of tin* political vineyard. Editor Wut-
hoii, sharing tho Constitution's opinions
on tho sliver qucsUou, follows II* ex
ample and damns Rhcrman, as tho hist
way of converting Democrats into Pop-
uIImis, while the Constitution damns
him In the hope, presumably, of con
verting Populists Into Democrats.
Wo pwlcrstuiid this coupling of tho
. Tdcgrnini mid John Sherman to In
cur contemporary's retort to our sugges
tion Hist It believes In Hat money as
well as llje free coinage of silver at tlio
10 to 1 rutl*. If so'the retort Is a fee
ble one.. If Jolm tJliifmqp Is a bimet
allist, the Telegraph's position Is qpt
wroug because he ,s with It. If lie la
uot a bimetallist, but, as our cohjem-
porory constantly asserts, v a "pjfrMtf 1
a believer In the single gold standard,
then he Is uot with the Telegraph. But
the retort ts especially feeble because
the Constitution Immcd.atoly confesses,
In effect, that It agrees with the Popu
lists and la uot oa tho Democratic plat
form. “The (Populist) demand for the
free coinage u. stiver would be Demo-
emtio If It did not Iprludna demand for
a fixed ratio lu adraueo ot kuowlcdgo
of the effect of that free coinage at tho
111 to 1 ratio would havAm the com-
luerclal value ot silver bullion.’’
<What has tho*t'onsillutb<n Is-eu do
ing for months hut demand free coin

the effect of free coinage on the prlco
of silver bulliont It lias argued for
free coinage on exactly tho terms the
that parity—coinage at. the tado repre
senting'the relative commercial value
of tho- two mctals-iutgit he secured,
While-Populists »ay parity Is a matter
of no importance. Wo have understood
th? Constitution to agree with the Pop,
ullsts, hut we now sec that It admits.
In, effect, that what it bus defended is
un-Deiuocrutic.
The qonstitutloif is mistaken when It
says the Telt-grsph .pays no atteatlou
to the facts of history, and cites’- the
tact that France maintained the parity
of her gold and Sliver money for sev-
THE SUPREME
oSuilT.
Wo think no one who has examined
tho question In nn unprejudiced way
oan doubt that the proposed amend-
nwot to the conaUUitJon, Incronslng the
number of aqprcmo court Judges, ought
to bo adopted. We have seen nowhere
hn argument against Its adoption that
deals with tlio merits of tho proposi
tion. It seems to universally conceded
that the court, ns now constituted, can-
mot deal properly with tho enormous
amount of business coming before It,
that the public suffers because of this
Inability, aud that the proper remedy
hi the proposed Increase of Hie number
of Judges. But while tills Is conceded—
while everybody ndmlts that Uio pro
posed amcndntbnt Is meritorious—a cer
tain amount of opposition Is developing
which may causo many citizens
to refrain from voting for or
against tho amendment. . This op
position Is somewhat peculiar in
diaraotcr. It Is hasM on the
candidacy of a certain man—Judge Go-
tier—for ono of Hie Judgeships uot yet
created. Against this man certain
charges of Improper conduct were made
two or three years ago, investigated by
tho legislature and declared'' to bo ill
founded. Tho report of the legislative
committee, however, dhl not satisfy his
buemlcs, and they have since pursued
him rclcuUcssly. Tho Job-graph lias
no opinion to express; lu this oouuec--
tlon, of the -merits of the controversy
between Judge Gobcr and Ills ciiemles,
but It amna plain thnt tlilif, quarrel,
whatever mity be Its Merita, ought to
bavo no lulluenee-on the fate of tESc
proposed uiueudmeut to tho constitu
tion:' Tlie pilople lu passing upon that
amonilmeut will not be .electing Judge
.(sober, or any other man. It Is uot
their busings*, under tha law, to' elect
Judges. That duty rests upon Uie leg
islature, ntal If the peo'pte cannot trust
the legislature lo till the two new scats
on tlif bench worthily, ikon they ought
uot to hum It to UU tlie seals nlre'.uly
provided fop If Judge Gobcr Is mi un
worthy man. «3 tils enemies charge aud

may bo sure that he will not be elected.
At tiny rate, the question for them to
deo.de Is whether the membership of
tlie court should be Increased, In enter
that It may perform Its duties prop«i-Iy.
They will bo dolug a wroug to Uie state
If they refuse to vole on Hint question
and undertake to vote.on another of

meat which his candidacy has caused.
It would bo unjust to CoL Breckinridge
to aay that alt the decent people of his

Is true that against no candidate In
the history of this country have the
classes which nro generally accepted as
stnud.ng for the best that Is In our so-
I'toty boon so fiercely, so determinedly,

Thl* la really the point of dlffsreoco
between Deaiocnta and Popdlou Mi
the silver quretien. IVtth ate In fsvor
of free coinage, but Democrats Insist
Interest of public morality, to Uke
leading part In politics. No candidate
lus ever presented hlutsolf to the Amer
ican people who was by the Judgment
of n Jury and his own confession guilty
of meaner offettsee against the codes
of morals which the law and religion
set up. Looked nt front every point
of view, he la a disgraced man. Out of
tl.«*o rlrcumttancYs ^tave grown the
exe.temrat thtt lu-. made It possible

Breckinridge, In spite of his gross of

In our opinion Col. Breckinridge In
making himself a candidate was guilty
of a crime agntnat the people of his dis
trict. Ills candidacy made It impossi
ble, for the people of that district to
share bis disgrace. It pVeclpItuted a
campaign which c annot fn'l of lasting
effect on those people, no matter what
Its outcome, because It Is a campaign
which forces men, women and children
to discuss day after day and divide

et(ge of his Infamies to Innocent young

He ought to be defeated and reduced

tho world will never again hear of him.
With all his brilliant talents, with all
his geniality, hla kindness of heart and
matchless eloquence, he Is the worst en
emy Kentucky ever had.
THE EFFECT OF FREE COINAGE.
To the Editor of -the Telegraph:
Without reference to tb» political phase
of the controversy, new going on In the
Demoora/He p.t-nty, touching the unlim
ited coinage of silver at the rate of 16
to 1, I beg to call attention, is a busi
ness proposition, -to -Hie effect of sliver
monometallism In Mexico upon the for
eign exchanges of that country, as such
exchanges affect foreign loans and far-
elgn purchase* of all descriptions, and
-domestic sale* of foreign products.
My attention lias -been directed to the
subject by the following extract, taken
from your leading editorial of today,
upon "Mr. Atktnson's speech;”
"There is free coinage of silver In
•Mexico fW-Instance, but though curren
cy al extremely scarce In lth.it country
the silver dollar Is worth only lte bull
ion value. The Amerjcan-nllver dollar
Is In M-exIco itself worth two Mexican
dollars, weighing more -than twice as
much. That currency Is scarce Istshown
by the fact that the 'Mexican govern
ment cannot borrow money at home
and 'therefore borrows in London,
though In dolug so It loses the. differ
ence, when paying Interest, between
gold aud silver—that Is to say, In effect
pays double totereet.”
Tills Is true as n statement of fact,
but Is misleading as a statement of the
effect* of borrowing gold In London,
trad paying the interests in Mexican
silver at Its bullion value. While It is
true that In paying the Interest In gold
upon a bond for 11,000, which must be
remitted by Mexico to London, Mexico
paye IS per cent, tn stiver to discharge
6 per cent. Interest—the rale the bond
draws; It Is also true that, In bringing
Loudon's - gold to Mexico, drafts
against tlie loan Mexico makes In Lon-
,don sell at two for one, and, hpnee
Mexico gets two far one tn txavu-w-
lug, which you have overlooked In your
statement ot -the case. Of course, this
applies only to foreign loans obtained
In gold, while drafts against the loans
arc sold for silver, upon the presump
tion thnt one dollar. In gold la wor;h
■two dollaira la Oliver when ithe loan
m-ado and while the Interest is being
paid upon tt. Upon nil debts that Mex
ico contracted In London when her gold
and silver dollars were of equal value
at home, and when exchange on Lon
don ivus nt par, the rate of Interest Is
doubled now when one dollar In gold
■ells -for two silver dollars, und.-.tlie
debt at Mexico payable In her : iwn
oyrreucy Is also doubled. This effect
would follow on all foreign Indebted
ness of -this country, public and pri
vate, If from, unlimited silver coinage
we should get down to silver nnuo-
metullsm, as Mexico his done.
What Is true with reference to the
sale of foreign gold exchange for silver
currency by Mexico, when she borrows
money abroad, Is true of tlie sale ot
drafta made by Mexican merchants on
Loudon to pay for Mexican produce
exported to England .or elsewhere,
when teach drafts ate paid lu gold. If
hides at Vera Crux arc worth (I cents
tl’ pouj, based on London prices, they
well for 12 cents, bscauso the export
er's gold draft on London -tells at C for
1 in Mexican currency, based on sliver
momimetallsm lu Mexico, if, from any
cause, we reach silver nueio-metalism
lu Hals country, lbs same rule that ap
plies to -Mexican hide* would apply to
our cotton and other products that arc
exported. If silver mono-metallsm con
stituted the basis of our money at pres
ent, ooton would sell for W cents In-
otead of 6. The value at present 111
Mncon Is a gold value, whereas, with
sliver mono-metallsm the gold ex
change to cover foreign purchases
would sell at 2 for 1, which would ad
vance th® price of cot-ton 100 per cent.
It des not follow that 12 cents In sli
ver would bo worth more to the farm r
Yhun 6 rents In gold, when ho comes to
Ithe purchase of what he wants. The
effect Hurt this policy would have on
nil vllues anu»t be taken Into account
In determining tho hnal results of a
depreciated currency, as In the ense of
Mexico. While the data Is not at hand
UI>on which to state the ca*e accurately
H Is certainly true Hut the Jmooris of
Mexico arc largely in excess of-hor ex-
ports, leaving nn advene trade balance,
for which gold must bo remktod
abroad nt *cost of * for I In her silver
currency. The effect doe* not end with
the settlement of her adt-erse trade
balance, demanding shipments or gold,
and thus affecting the aggregate stock
of gold In the country. It Is seen In
every gransadtlon by which foreign
products are brought Into Mexico nnd
sold to her people. Tho Mexican mer
chant buys an Invoice of gods In Man
chester and ships them to Mexico. He
buys wt:h gold ana sells for sliver.'
When- Ills bill falls due bo ts forced to
pay his banker two debars In sliver for
the value In London of on-' dollar In
gold. Knowing this In advance, he
adds 100 per pent, to the selling price
of hta goods, which is paid by the
Mexican consumers.
I will not go Into the question at Is
sue between tfc > Telegraph and the
Constitution, between Judge Crisp and
Secretary Smith, and which seems to
have thoroughly divided the Demo
cratic party, but submit these nugges-
tlonx In Illustration of whxt Is going on
tn Mexico at the present time, and
what will take place tn this and every
other country under silver mono-met-
shorn.
Jt may not be out of place to say that
the faint defect la the flMnclil plans
of those who advocate the unlimited
coinage of rthvr and the conversion of
the United States treasury Into s bank
of Issue lies In the fact that they pro-
pn*e «0 leave out of the question all the
men who have any money. This can
not be done successfully. The nuances
of ewery country are controlled by men
who lend money, and-not by those who
borrow. Barking Involves money, nnd
will always be carried on by men who
•“'v It U Hie most compact and
cosily handled of all property: while
enterprising. « V. timid, if condition
ore advene to It In one country. It
*oe* away to other* where It Is more
•ecure. The farmer cannot sell his land.
Hie manufacturer cannot sell hi* plant,
nor the real estate owner h» a etty his
house*, nor can they send them away
between two suae when advancing
armies or adverae legislation .thren-ten
their value or security: but the pur
chase of a check and the milling of a
letter will transfer a million of dollar*
from oqe country to another. Wediave
seen strange and unusual features in
the great financial centres this year.
Private citizens have been able to bor-
raw money bit Walt street and
In London cheaper then- the
United ©tales -treasury could get
It. London ho loaned m:ney
at S-8 to 3-t of 1 per cent. p°r annum,
and refused to buy United State* bonds
at prices that would pay 3 per cent.
Strong as the federal treasury is. it
can be bankrupted. We may not think
so, but the fln-jnetd) world duos. Tho
success of our financial policies, what
ever they may bo, depends upon the
world's estimate of their soundness.
We should recognize thl* fact nnd
endeavor to settle the silver contro
versy upon linen thst will give ua all »he
Mlycr -that we coin safely coin. Tho
Judgment of tho world's financiers
tau* approve our plan, or it will fall.
The extreme advocates of both gold
nnd silver may he wroug. If so. there
must be some middle ground. Take up
the French system, and ece If ft cannot

A RESPECTFUL PROTEST.
TO The Editor of Tho Telegraph: As a
subscriber to the Telegraph- and - a
friend of trie piper, allow me. ua a
decided a-nd pronounced Methodist and
a -persanal friend of Bishop Haygood,
■;o protest a-guintlt the attacks made
‘upon VlVm by some aaohytnous writers
who have used the columns of the Tel
egraph. If the Right Rev. Blfbrtp
Becker of -rhe Catholic church or the
Right Bev. Bidhop -Nelson of-the Epis
copal-ohurch were assaulted by any one,
whether of their own or other-churches,
aud alluded to -as Becker -and Nelson,
and spoken of as Bishop Haygood has
been, I should Think That The paper
admitting these articles had not »hc,wn
proper respect -to Oatholllos or Eplcco-
palla-ns. Of course, Bishop Haygood
cannot answer the vulgar attacks upon
him by -writers who wi ll no: uncover
themselves, nor do his friends feel that
It Is necessary to reply, .but I ua a
■Methodist do feel aggrieved that the
discreet Telegraph should allow, such
-articles -lo appear In Its columns. ,
Use Tight of an editor.ho control bis
eolumns Is only equalled by the right
of a subscriber to wll^-draw from The
• Vnbf .tn* riiiMv nuD'f of one’3 city

list, but the daily paper of one s city
is almost indtepenswoie. and one of
every fialtb, Jew or toarWlian. O-l tholle
or Protestant, has a rlgna *►> expect
r.-r-pec.ful treatment tor one communlcn
to which he belongs.
It Is not n fl-t thing for matters which
o ricern the Method-.tit public alone to be
venai-ated In u paper which Is read by
all classes, and I dhould regret that
the necessity should be laid upon any
of us to do this. I am sure -the Tele
graph will receive this-protest In as
kindly n spirit as It Is sent. Bishop
Haygood 'has done nothing either con
cerning Emory college oo- evangelists
which need defense, but If be should
■have done anything. I hardly think the
columns of the Telegraph are the
proper places to dtscues It.

IT IS A GOOD PLAN. „
To tlio Editor of tho Telegraph: Hav
ing beeu asked for ray opiraon of tho
proposition to transfer tho Public Li
brary to the care of the board of public
education, I beg to aay that the idea
seems to me a good one, and If there la
no lawful obstacle It Will doubtless
find favor with the patrons of the libra
ry. X know of nothing In the charter
or constitution of tho library society
which would prevent Ihe administra
tion of Its affairs us a trust by tho
board of education. The organic law
of tho latter board may die of such a
pol'tleal character as to appear to In
terfere with such au arrangement, but
the members of that body, with the
aid of competent legal advice, can prob
ably devise n method of Carrying out
the project, which would bo beneficial
alike to the school system and to the
public at large.
The addition of new books could bo
provided fur by a small fee to be paid
by those adults wjio desire the privi
lege* of a Circulating library, s.ay *1 per
year (and who are not already life
members),• and the teachers and child
ren could have, without cost, the use of
a splendid collection of ten or twelve
thousand volumes In nil departments
of literature.
After nil It.wqjild only be approxi
mating the original intention of the
projectors of the library society, which
always was to moke the Institution free
to the public whenever circumstances
would Justify them in so doing. Youra
respectfully, T. O. Cbestney.
