CAUSES OP TUE HUJMI*.
The Atlanta Constitution of jriwtcr-
Hny soys, iu i-oiiuiieutlng ou the result
of the election:
"We hed almost paid that ths atump
was a surprising one, but no one who has
Intelligently watched the progrwii of the
campaign In this state can be aurprleed
nt the falling oir In the Democratic ma
jority In the very nature of things It
was Inevitable; and If the same sinister
elements that produced confusion in the
Iiomocrntlc ranks In this campslnn shall
retain their potency until the next one,
the Democrats will have ground* for oon-
gratulatlan if they come out of it If with
eny majority at all."
Tliero 1* it great ileal of truth In this,
!u u houko different from that Intended
to lio convoyed. It Is Indeed tmo that
"If tho name sinister lnfluisice* that
l-r-xlinxil tuufiMmn in tho Democratlo
ranks In this eunqniUn shall retain
their potency until tho next one, tho
Democrats wilt hive groitud* for con
gratulation If they come out of It with
any majority at nil." Tbla betas true,
It la of tho Ural lm|s,rtnnco to discover
with exnetues* what wore tho slubber
litltuences that produecsl confusion. In
dm nature of things, the senreh must
to made In the light of the election re
turns and bo guided hy the circum
stances which existed previous to tho
election.
Tho retunui show that in thnt pnrt
of tho state north of Atlanta ntid ln
tho dilatrtcta In cloaest connection with
that city, tho Democratlo vote fell off
and tho Populist vote luet'oastsl until
tho relative strength of the two par
ties was not greatly dlffereut. They
show, particularly, that in tho Tenth,
Ninth, Seventh and Pourih eongtex-
glottal dtslricts tlio ao called "ahnup”
look placet There was no slump in
tho other congressional districts and
those parts of the state not Immediate
ly under Atlanta's Influence,
These‘facta point out tho direction
in which Investigation ns to onuses
should take. Tho question Inevitably
crises, under these circumstances, why
nt these parts of tho state, ami tlteso
only, did large Demoerntio losses occur.
It Is orldeut thnt In these particular
districts tho sinister influences spoken
•«f were nt work. The Held lu which
these forces worked against tho Dorn-
ooratto party is thus itxcd.
Now, what were those Influences!
They must lie sought ,u tho circum
stances, different in these districts from
the circumstances In other districts of
tho state, existing before tho vlecilon
occurred. The most striking of these
different circumstances whs that In tho
upper part of tin state--In the whole
region tributary to Xtlautn—tho most
widely circulated of Democratic news
papers for many mouths coudueted n
moat auorgutlo campaign hi behalf of
the Populist fliumclnl policy. It ar
gued, pleaded, mlsrepresontixl—resorted
tO‘ every device to oouvlnco Its readers
that tlto Populist policy must prevail
or tho country, and especially tho
ttouth, would ho ruined. In the con
gressional districts of this smuo re
gion, perhaps through the Influence ov
that uewsiiaiier, tho Democratic eon-
ventlons formally adopted tho Populist
flaanciul policy. The candidates in
those districts for'congress went ou
the stump advocating that policy, and
In doing so, of course, robbed the con
tention between them mid their Pop
ulist opponents of all political slgnltt-
eance. For what reason, except a per
sonal or sentimental cue, can a Demo
unt In the TV-ntli district who thinks
the sliver question .of prime import
ance have for preferring Ur. Black to
Mr. Watson, lint for the fact that one
Is called a Democrat and the other
a Populist tliere Is no reason why the
inter who knows neither should vote
for one or tlio other, » far as the at-
, titude of either towards the principal
political question of tho day la con
cerned. The same thing may be said
iff the situation In the other dlstr.cta
referred to. The Democratic party In
loom no loogcr stands tor a certain
policy. It has nothing to light for and
therefore cannot light effectively.
During tho same period of prepara
tion for the election, the newspaper to
which we refer and tin, candidates
who are now in the Held were making
an effort to strengthen themselves with
the .people by frantically insisting
that tho Democratlo position on the
currency question Is the some as that
of the Populists. Their i'dea seems to
he that It Is easier to deceive the peo
ple as to the attitude of the Democratic
parry than to convince them that tho
Populist theories are wrong. Wo think
they made the mistake, iu doing this,
of assuming that the people are far
less Intelligent than they are, and also
that to the extent they convinced men
that free coinage at the 1(1 to 1 ratio
Is necessary they made converts to the
Populist party, the reason being thnt
not much Intelligence Is required for
n man to know'thnt n party with tho
history of the Democratic parly ,csn
never be Induced to legislate lu sue], a
way as to carso tho country with a de
preciated currency.
Tlio extent to which Atkinson's name
was scratched indicates that there was
considerable dissatisfaction with the
tiuket. It Is probable, too, that a good
many men, disMtisfled with the ticket,
preferred not to vote at all, rather than
scratch it,. Bat the effect off this dis
satisfaction was general and the local
character of the revolt against tho par
ty, or rather tho brook down of Its
strength in certain localities, must bo
duo to other causes. We think we bavo
pointed out thoso causes. Tho Consti
tution says that tlio slump was duo to
the work of the "goldhug bushwliack-
era." But this cannot l>o true, as wo
showed yesterday, becauso tho slump
occurred In districts of the state which
ure under the Constitution's own pe
culiar Influence, and where tho caudl-
dates are anything but goldhugs, Tho
"goldhug bushwhackers” were In them
liolplcss and therefore harmless. On
the oilier hand, In tho districts whore
tho Democratic candidates have re
fused to commit themselves to the Pop
ulist theories of finance, und where tlio
newspapers linvo combatted those the
ories persistently, tlio Democratic par
ty holds its own.
Tho situation, therefore, is this: In
the districts where the Democratic can
didates and uoirspapcre havo sup
ported with all their strength tho Pop
ulist demand for the Inunedlnto open
ing of tho mints to silver nt tlio ratio
of 10 to 1, tho Democratlo majorities
have either disappeared or been re
duced to very small proportions.
Iu the dlsiricts where tho Demoerntio
candidates and newspapers have stood
firmly hy the old Democratic doctrine
of louud money nud have fought the
Populists Instead of surrendering to
them, tho Democratlo majorities are
about as largo o» ever and Populism
luis shown no growth, oxeept In n few
Isolated communities.
From these brief stntemeuts of the
circumstances preceding tho election
and tlio results of tho election in tho
different districts, tho uuprojudlccd
man will flud no difficulty In unking
up hi* mind ns to what "Sinister In
fluences" have been at. work.
GOVBKNOlt XPKINMiY.
MuJ. McKinley Is campaigning all
the way from Maine to California, nud
apparently Is seldom In, Ohio. That
ho Is neglecting his publlo business ns
governor to look after hit prtvato bus
iness as a Candida to for president Is,
however, a matter for the people of
Ohio to ouhsUJiH*. U Is really a pity,
though, that such a nleo in,.a should
ho wasting so much time and effort
and preparing such a great disappoint
ment for htmsclf.
Governor McKinley’s chance to lie
president lias passed, llo Is a"buck
number," to use a slang phrase, for the
reason that the cause with widen ho
Is Idcutiflcd Is discredited. Protection
Is not deed, os tho recent experience
of the Democrats in tho senate has
proved, but Governor McKinley does
not ataml in tho public mind for pro
tection merely, but for protection ta
Ha -most extreme and offensive form.
Even If It were possible for tho coun
try to return to his kind of protection,
xuch a return Is not possible now, nor
will It be for some years.
Only n little whllo ago Governor Mo-
Klnley was ‘declaiming against the
tariff agitators, for wautouly disturb
ing and alarming tile Industries of the
country. Now he Is running for pres-
Went and baa himself assumed the role
of a tariff agitator, tils platform Is
the Mdvlnley bill. He would plunge
tho country Into another straggle, to
dotcrmlno whether or not the work of
the Democratlo congress shall be un
done, whatever might be the damage
Inflicted hy another period of uncer
tainty and suspense.
Public opinion will not permit the
nomination of Governor McKinley.
Even men who are not satisfied with
the present tariff and prefer McKtn-
teylsrn do not want the tariff battle re
sumed at once. They want rest. While
they are getting It. the country YriU be
having.experience of a lower tariff,
and we believe tbe result of that ex
perience will lie a disposition to fur
ther reduce duties, not to increase
them.
REVIVED TRADE AND CURRENCY
Editor Telegmift: you said toll
morning, don't croak Whxt Is s
•realtor? Wdattr soya It 13 one who
compteSni unreasonably, .< > -the appli
cation of rhe eploaet, n-.ien Used,' Is
qualified by th* Show of reason; or the
lack of it which attends the complaint.
Nbw, on this matter of tlstayed revival
of trade, of which there is only too
much ovMeuce at -present, the most
reasonable -riling for us to is to face
trie facts, and try to find where the
weak place Is, in order as -wise men
-to apply a remi-Jy an’l stop the leak.
Tbe good bjok tells of those "who cry
peace! peeaet when there Is no peace,"
and we may equally adopt toe seme
form off speech as to good times com
ing, when they have not come, and
appear as far off ns ever.
But Is It so really? We were encour
aged to expect these as soon uis the
tariff was disposed of und settled by
oongres*. This (hue been done, and -is
likely to stand aa settled for some time
tb come, so the uncerirtmy wV.ch
clogged the-wheelnpf trade on that ac
count Is removed and no difficulty can
remain on itthxt score. The reports of
the commercial agents, Pun -and Rr-td-
street, ore considered a reliable Index
of the Slade of trade for -the time be-,
ing, 'aind i/hese for last week Say taut
while In some isolated cases an-1 lo
calities there has been a resumption of
operations, yet there Is no evidence of
such a revival as would Indicate toe
presence of a spirit of energy and en
terprise, such as muob exist to bring
the largest results. It Is true that In
the South and among ourselves there
appears to be some Improvement, but
IMS Is easily accounted (or by the
marketing of toe cotton crop, which
necessarily scut money In droulouiion,
and for the time being puts us -.ilong
and -helps us to live. But say -What we
will there Is yet very small evidence
thuit we -have have passed the worst
and may look for brighter skies and
smoother sailing, and this Is the con
viction of (thoughtful business men.
There must then be a cause. What
Is 11? It does appear -that this may be
found In the other groat national
question Which has for some time been
occupying men’s -minds along with thb-t
of the tariff, the sliver question and
how to deal with It In relation to trade
and currenoy. It is Interesting to no-
Wee tho educational process which has
-been going on off late with regard to
this Important question, and equally
so -to realize that even In quarters
from which people might expect light
-and leading thore Is need of further
enlightenment (before the light ran
shine. .
Tho Immediate cause for toe pro
longed depression of trado and Indus
try 4s undoubtedly a -want of confi
dence on tho part of (hose whose
means arid . Interest are toe sinews of
commercial life and enterprise. Capi
tal is always looking out (for opportu
nities to get to -work land Increase It
self. and (those through whom It op
erates are always unwilling to sit still
In Idleness, When a-ny possible and
reasonable chance offers to employ
toolr trained ability to a legitimate
manner. And In toe fact tlAit -these
agencies are for ‘the time being quies
cent, we Waive (the clearest and most
emphatic 'testimony that the conditions
tire eudh as to make Investments un
certain and trade operations unsafe.
Why Is this »o? Undoubtedly because
of toe condition of our national finan
cial affij'irs. One fact I -have not yet
seen brought out dls-tnotly, though It
(has been Implied frequently In toe
discussion of too question, Which Is
that this country Is working on ficti
tious capital to -a certain extent and
overestimates -the real vale of Its as
sets. The result of tills 4s precisely
the same ns tt wouM be. I t a private
firm pursued 'the stole course. Neces
sarily In such a cose suspicion Is ex
cited (and a degree of waitchfutness
aroused -which must bo 'frnal to bnsl-
ness confidence, -anB tho -only result
passible will -be tho restriction nf in
tercourse and contraction of business
-to (toe smallest possible dimensions. To
prove ttsls we (have only -to examine
too report of (he treasury department
of the United States, where -we flud an
amount of 1637,513,187 as the value of
silver coinage, silver bullion and cur
rency -notes issued by toe government
for silver passed ln-:o Its hands as an
equivalent of value nnd for Which It is
responsible. As slated by Mr. Score-
tary Smith ta hlx speech hero last
week, -bhits ta worth only half of its
nominal value, and 1s sustained at that
nominal value by what he properly
oj-llnd -the “artifice" of -the government
which agrees to reedve it at toifl
vaSue for taxes. Now, business men
know -well how to put on estimate on
tranractlons ta commercial matters
which have uu artificial basis only.
As a mutter of fact they -will all be
-tainted with uncertainty anil looked
upon -with suspicion. And while among
ourselves, at the hermit-nation protec
tionists would make us, we might
manage to get along somehow, yet
outside our own Jlmtts everything we
propose to do -must be nffeoted by this
estimate of us and our solvency as
springing -from this fact.
But this Is not all of It. If It were
possible It might -not offeot us so In
juriously as M -appears, find Its im
portance could bo discounted. For
even * msttter of three or four hun
dred million dollars' Is not a formidable
nfftlr tor tills country to lose, or oven
to squander, add we have hod actual
experience of It ta recent history. It
Is rather th* pusstblHilea -involved in
toe agitation for the.free and unlim
ited coinage of silver which are at the
bottom off ihls whole trouble, and ex
ert th* evtl Influence which Is drying
up ifhe sources of toe prosperity of tols
people. For unsn-Usftiotory as our
financial and currency arrangements
now are, thus to let loose the flood of
silver which ta Involved In free
and unlimited coinage would bring
certain ruin and desolation on every
1 uteres; -which constitutes Che well
being of the country. Once fake the
control of the nation's currency out of
toe Hands of toe responsible govern
ment and put It unUer -that of the
silver producers and speculators, who
care tor no Interest but itaeir own.
and the condition of Mexico would not
be * circumstance ta comparison with
want would be the Inevitable result
for -these United 8tUtes, and tols is
what free coinage meant. For the uni
form exocrtence In currency matter*
is OUst th* to crease of a secondary
metal, beyond what abund policy re
quire* will drive toe primary metal out
of use and bring with It a regime of
low prices (or all kinds of produce.
Let our Populist farmers put that In
ffhelr pipes and smoke it.
tWe ore brought ta toe point where
we must admit chat In titis Country
stiver has. reached a <00 prominent
place ta our affairs, and safety de
mands a limitation of tts controlling
power. R 1s not matter for thankful
ness, perhaps, that this Is one of the
leading silver producing countries of
ths woril. ss tt might be ff like most
other products, this sms subject only
to rhe natural tew of supply and de
mand and was not an integer ta toe
n-xttomt currency. For ta toe former
case those .who produced It would be
subject to the competition off an open
market, while ta the letter, ss we have

legal tender, while sRowtng s special

government as to taxes and disburse
ments and thus make a distinction
between home and foreign trade,
which would doubtless remove much
of toe difficulty. For this matter of
foreign trade constitutes an important
Item In tbe consideration of tols ques
tion, -and brings us the necessity for
such an arrangement of our finances

foreign nation* on equal terms.. We
-Save seen bow Europe hax dealt wh*
this silver question, land • the probe-
blltiy la very remote tint their policy
will be changed. It !s very doubtful
titallcui International agreement can be
rc-aaaed which will accord with the pre
ponderating Influence silver has at
tained with us here, -and ro give us
She relief we need. AnU this mainly
because in Europe they do not have
the same kind of pressure upon their
policy by tale rested producers which
obtains with us. They are free to take
silver or loaive it. ux they believe will
best suit the exhteisef.es of their own
affairs. And so. whether It agrees with
spread-eagle Idoax or not, there Is no
escape for us from the necessity for
considering the pokey of other nations
and conforming to the conditions un
der which alone we can have a foreign
trade. At present -this is contracted by
our pilee of silver -which foreigners
don't want, and to* draft upon us for
gold. Which they insist on having, robe
us of a due share of thait, metal for
our currency. Let us regulate the sti
ver sons to Increase our foreign trade
and we shall find -the golden fide Will
turn In our favor -and give us a cur
rency about which there -will be no
doubt. We believe (hat In this direc
tion alone can -we find the remedy for
our present trouble. Yours, etc.,

IN A BIO HOSPITAL.
To tlie Editor of toe Telegraph:
Could too subscribe™ to your Hospital

tion of tho amount off suffer,ug re
lieved and toe smallness of toe cost,

this the New York Cancer Hospital,
besides endowing a room iu porpeiu.ty.
1 came here with a perfect horror of
a hospital hut shall leave with the con
viction that no generous man or wo
man can give their money to a wor

clock work and the greutest amount,
of work Is accomplished oy the least
exertion of force.
1 came here, on old, one-legged Con
federate wreck, hardly worth saving,
and have found toe greatest sympathy
and kindness. Dr. William 11. Coley,
one of the finest operators In too city,
who hna successfully operated, on over
one hundred cases of licrnla, took me
ta hand and will leave but a slight
scar after taking out nearly half of
my tipper Jawbone.
Col. Burton I,. Harrison, who was

during the war and who was kept In
prison over a year after tho others
were relensed, has treated me with

SLIGHTLY IN ERROR.
To the Editor of the Telegraph: Yonr
kindly notices of Mrs. Mary Baber
and her lamented husband, while sub
stantially true, there are a few Inac
curacies I beg to correct, not that It
la a matter of any consequence to the
present generation, but in deference
to absent relatives and tho few living
friends who arc familiar with the facts.
Mrs. Baber, nee Sweet, was born in
Bryan county, Ga., June 10, 1810, and
was, therefore, lu her 8.1th year, and
not 87tli.
Dr. Ambrose Baber Was charge d’
affaires to Sardinia under the adminis
tration of President Harrison, and not
minister to Spain. Ills death was
caused by 'it typographical error, as
stated. The prescription was put up
in the drug store of Mr. George Payne
b? Mr. A. A. Menard, toon a m-.ro
youth and clerk ta tho store and after
wards my life-long friend. Observing
tvhat ho knew to be an error in tlie
prescription, he called too proprietor’s
attention thereto. The conversation
between them was heard by toe person
calling for toe medicine and reported
to those in chargo of the patient. The
snd result wns ns staffed,

THE STROLLER.
I! the party who ordered that Cheval
do frise of unsightly benches priced In
front of the Volunteer*' lArtaory In
tended it for ornamental purposes, the
Stroller would gently suggest to him
that It Is a dead failure as suoh, and
that few people admire his taste. But
If it la Intended as a screen to keep
people on Cotton avenue from seeing
what th* merchant* In the stores under
the armory are doing, or If It is intend
ed to make Ivors** appear trlxky and
show off. tt 1s a howling success and
should be allowed to remain ad flnltum.
—• ,
A rumor has reached the Stroller's
ears that a syndicate composed of Mr.
John G. Deit* Mr. George B. Turpin
and <Mr. -M. Loh hse been formed for
the purpose of purchasing the Second
Street Hav Burner- Llglrttrine Express
Line running between the Confederate
monument and Oglethorpe street, on
Second street. Th" Stroller will not
vouch for the truth of the rumor, hut
tlie. fact thnt these genitlemen are the
only patrons of the line, or the only
ones ever seen on It since the last state
fair, gives color to -the rumor.
Ml*
The Stroller ha* been requested to
request the proper person, whosvor he
might he, to sprinkle the road leading
to the circus grounds next Monday,
when th* circus 1* heir, provided Old
JuNter Pluvlus don’t take pity on a
suffering community and turn tore hla
watering-pot on ua before that time.
The suggestion is not a had one, and If
nobody else will do the sprinkling act
on the day aforementioned it strikes
the Stroller ta the same spot where ha
often been ■truck, before that It would
pay the circus folk* to Invest In a little
water xnd gently moisten the powder
on the face of mother earth. This sug
gestion Is given for what it Is worth,
and because the Stroller promised to do
It. and all.parties at Interest enn govern
themselves accordingly.

Anti-Tammany Men Find It Difficult
•to -Agree.
New York, Oct. 5.—The conference
of the various anti-Tammany associa

EAGAN AND THE A. P. A.
The ex-Minlster to Chill Says What Ho
Thinks of It
New York, Oot 5.—At a meeting, of the
executive national Republican committee
Chairman Manley submitted a long letter
from Patrick Eagan, dated September it
bearing upon the American Protective As
sociation. After giving the purposes for
which ths American Protective Associa
tion was formed, vis: T6 break down the
power of the pope and also to oppose the
Oatholls candidates for public offices, Mr.
Eagan says: “The American Protective
Association has entered upon a campoHm
of the most deliberate, venomous andout-
ragejus misrepresentation and slander
against the Roman Catholic church..
“It la attempting by stealth, by secret
delegations and by fallacious representa
tion regarding Its numerical strength and
influence, to Intimidate, capture weak-
kneed politicians of all parties and com
mit them to pledges to support the un
christian and un-American objects of th*
order.
“The Roman Catholics, numbering at
present nearly one-flfth of the population
of the United States, never have sought
and never will seek any advantage of
their fellow citizens. They never have
countenanced and never will countenance
either prosaciutlon or proscription against
any other section of the people on ac
count of religious beliefs; they have never
sought in the past, nor will tfrey in the
future, any more than that equity, to
which under the constitution of their
country, they are entitled.
“I feel that we Catholic Republicans
have the right to expect from our lead
ers the assurance that all attempts on
the part of those bigots and disturbers
to exploit our party will be strongly dis
countenanced and that no negotiations or
alllanoes will be entere-i into or under-
takings or pledges -be given to the so-
called American Protective. Association,
or to any kindred association.
The Herald adds: “The committeemen
were loth lo say anything upon tho tab
led aft or the meeting, but Is was gath
ered that they had thought it wise to
take no action In the matter, holding that
they ooull not touch upon a qoeetloii that
had boon Ignored by the state conven-
ll "Thlii plank was submitted to tbe com
mittee on platform at the convention.
'Resolved, That the Republican party
stands, as It always did, 1
with the largest liberty of religious opin
ion end in favor of entire freedom, stand
ing on the groun of no religious test.
"When the platform was submitted to
the convention the plank was not In.
eluded.”
