TIIE CURRENCY QUESTION.

of silver Into a dollar mid the relations
of that effort to thd prevailing low

lows, bavo properly value* decreased
during the lust twenty years? Is there
a county in Georgia which la not
wealthier, measured In gold, than It
was twenty year* ago? Is there any
cla*a of property of thu peruuncut

nnd other property of that nature,
which Is not-now worth more than It
was twenty yenra ago? It seem* pla'n
to ui that there has been no debase
ment of property values. lands ore

almost every form I* worth more.
Uave wages been debased? We think
that the evidence Is Indisputable that
wages are higher than they were twen
ty yean ago. It li posable that mo
mentarily, ns the retail of the depres

time the purchasing power of the

therefore, that wage* haro been

On tho contrary, wherever tho mutter

Aa wo have already stated, we «ee
bo reason why the propriety of holding
it caucus should bo doubted. As we
look at tho matter, a caucus Is abso
lutely necessary. If tho Democrat lo

Tho Telegraph desires to ueo MaJ.
Baoon elected to tho senate, but It da
rtres to see him elected only as a rep

If bo cannot bo elected except with tho
help of Fopultst vote*, then tho Tolo-
graph will bo heartily In favor of that
Democrat who can bo elected by Dem
ocratic votes only. We do not doubt
that Msj. Bacon has this same feeling
himself; that he desires to bo a Demo
cratic senator, not merely a senator.
If opporitloa to the holding of a cau
cus shows Itself, we believe that It
will be based on a desire to uxo the
Fopullat strength In electing Demo

the reporter meekly.
"No, but I've lost a >100 bill." said
the officer, as great beads ol ewcat
appeared on his forehead, and he began
feeling about each pocket.
A policeman with a >100 bill was auch
curiosity that tho reporter stood
epeeohlesa and watched the officer ns
ho went through such pocket a dozen
times or more, while the perspiration
actually dripped from his face.
"Perhapa somebody has touched
you,” euggeated -the reporter, n* the
officer began unbottonlng his coat and

the reporter noticed a audden change

motionless for a moment,- with hla
hand resting In hla Inside coat pocket.
Finally n broad smile appeared on the

relief and produced the missing bill.
