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.

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 age *'lu advance of Hie knowledge" ot 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 •BY Uiey can prove, then th* people 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 subordinate Importance which does not Is-loag within their pipylnec, the ques tion of how the olllee shall lie lllled.

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 upon questions which should not be open to debate anil whlc-h brings knowl- et(ge of his Infamies to Innocent young people who might otherwise never have known that such things were possible. He ought to be defeated and reduced to sneh a state of Insignificance that 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.

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 in a BawwiWBi w »»i^«»*" *—*• list, but the daily paper of one s city is almost indtepenswoie. and one of every fialtb, Jew or toarWlian.

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.

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.
