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 teen,, ehe way lx open for the use of pot 111 ext und often cnmipt influence to make s market and a price (Or lUos well.

Possibly by the reetrietton o( stiver as legal tender, while sRowtng s special exception In trsntaetfcma with the 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 ax will enable, ux -to exchange wi.h 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.

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, J. W. Blackshear. 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.

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.

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.” PLOWMAN THE NOMINEE.
