••C.iidUlon."or,lle Democratic Platform
Wc have had no intention whatever
to misrepresent the Atlanta Constitu
tion in anything we have said of its
Attitude toward the Democratic presi
dent and the Democratic platform. We
have thought that attitude to he un
friendly and unfair, and have given
what seemed to us good reasons for
that belief. In doing so, wc have been
moved only by the desire to correct as
far as possible the evil effects of what
we regarded as the Constitution's un
friendliness and unfairness.
In yesterday's issue, after quoting
the coinage plank of the Chicago plat
form. the Constitution says:
On the other hand, we Indorse every
sentiment expressed. What are the con
ditions asked for with which tho Con
stitution Is unwilling to comply? Why Is
the Telegraph not sc lerous enough to be
frank? Why does It not specify? if It
means that the ratio of coinage should
be Increased, if necessary to establish
partly. It would lie more than malicious
misrepresentation for It to say that the
Constitution Is not only wtll'ng for, but
that It has not advocated It, If It Is
cssary to make every dollar IntrinsfcaPy
worth every dollar. Change the ratio
from 1 to M to 1 to 10, If necessary, and
comply with tin temand of tlie party for
the double standard, and the Constitu
tion will say that the administration lisa
done a glorious work; provide for the free
coinage if loth metals tinder like rondl-
tions, as deminled, nn.l ptotr.lsed, com
plying with every possible condition ex
acted. and the Tonst'tuMon will aay God
speed the work!
But betray the confidence of the peo
ple and the '.ion ir of Ihe iwrty— never!
Now, let the Telegraph be honest enouph
to be frank and apectfy al.at • condition"
It la that the Conatl’.j'Dn will not ac
cept. to eeeure the fntailmnt of the Dtm-
ocretlc pledge for free coinage, to which
the Telegraph sdirlte the party is com-,
milted.
The Telegraph ha* already been per
fectly frank in slating the "conditions"
under which the Democratic platform
favors free coinage. In the course of
an article written in reply to some
thing which had appeared In the Con-
'stltutlon, the Telegraph said, only tour
or five days ago:
The Democratic platform declares for
free collage—but not for ihe free coin
age which is now demanded, and which
certain newspapers are trying to make
the teet of loyally to the Democratic par
ty. The platform attache# condition
when it declares for free coinage which
are vital and which they igner;
Flrat. It li elate that there ahull be no
discrimination ngalnst either metal. They
Inslat thtl h-ee than a dollar'# wurlh <f

■mo a dolltr If this wera lone there
would be dlecr’irlnnllon agalnet tho gi Id
dollv. whMi will eland tjenator Hill's
test of the melting pot. snd th* platform
would b* violated.
Tfie aeeond comlhlnn Is practically a
repetition s of the first. It le that the gold
and allver dollar rnuat be of equal Intrin-
ale and exchangeable value. Thle could
not ha unless th* metal In the allver dol
lar were worth vs much aa that In the
gold dollar In the markets of th* world.
To put less In It would he to violate the
platform.
The third condition Is nltematlvs to the
second—"Or he adjusted through Inter
national agreement, or by auch
gvarda of legislation aa ahull Insure the
maintenance of the parity of the two
metals and th* equal power of every
dollar at all tlmea In the marketa and
in payment of debt." That la to say. If
a dollar’s worth of silver at the market
price la not put In ths dollar, then theie
must he nn International agreement to
put lea*. ,
These are clear, distinct propositions,
with which the deman-1 that silver be
coined free at the 1* to I ratio, or at any
ratio other than that Axed by demand and
supply In Ihe markets. Is not m accord.
The suggestion that by "safeguards of
legislation" free coinage may lie made
safe at a ratio other than that of/ ths
markets, is vague. No Icg'slntkm la sug-
tested that would make free coinage safe
at a leas ratio, an1 In view of this fact
the demand of the platform that such
legislation shall "Insure the maintenance
of the purity of the two meuls anl the
equal power of every dollar at all times
In the markets and in the payment of
debt," Is of eapectxl Importance. Legis
lation which d.d not Insure the squal
purchasing power of the gold snd silver
dollar In the markets—In all markets—
would be In violation of the ntotform.
The platform favors free Co!rag* with
a dollar's worth of silver in the dollar
or under an International agreement fix
ing the ratio of eopuge. The Dcmuiat-
Ic party Is hound. I*. It can. to tarry cot
the promises of the plufora In cne of
these two ways.
The platform a'ao admit# the pcMlbil
Ity that the same result may he ic-.ched
by other legislation, hit doe, B0 , mdl-
r*te the character of that legislation.
Every Democrat Is thereftre at liberty
to decide for himself whether or not any
proposition looking to free coinage, out
side of those made In the platform, com
piles with Ike condition that I*, rhall ''In-
sure" the equal power of gold and fiver
dollars In all market*, if ha believes that
It does not. he le all the hs*'er Democrat
for opposing It.

Congressman Johnson’s bill- authoriz
ing the Issue of treasury notes to own
ers of government bonds deposited
with the government, the interest on
the bonds' to cease while the notes are
outstanding, strikes us favorably as a
measure that would afford temporary
relief. The bonds which do not
ready serve as a basis for national
bank notes are mostly in the possession
of savings banks and similar Institu
tions, but doubtless most ot them
would come forward If Mr. Johnson’s
bill should become a law. If they did,

notes would be as good as the credit

and they would retire if money tie-
eame so redundant as to cease earning
more than the interest on the Douds.

ford quick relief and would to some
extent add the desirable element of
flexibility to our financial system. if

bate the silver question indefinitely, lt

Savannah, Aug. 16.—(Special.)—At the
annual meeting of <the Turpentine Op
erators* Association here today a reso
lution was unanimously adopted, alter
some debate, to stop working old boxes.
This resolution was the result of mone
tary stringency which has so depressed
prices as to make production unprofita
ble. The effect of a suspension of work
ing old boxes will be to reduce the na
val stores crop 15 per cent., which, to
gether with the natural nhortage of the
crop for the season, will make it 30 pei^
cent, below the average, lt is expected
that a result of 'the suspension will be
an advance in the market. The factors
have refused to put out money to op
erators who disregard the resolution.

Every one contributed music to the

Miss Mary Beall's Instrumental solo

She wore a costume reminding one of
the pink tints of an Alpine glow, with
soft, fleecy, airy white game over
dress, blush roses seen through snnwy
mitts. Miss Waterman sang "Free

TAKING PRECAUTIONS.

YVe think there to no cause for sert-
mis alarm because of tbe appearance
of yellow fever at Brunswick ami Pen
sacola. In both cases the, victims had
been brought ln contact witb the dis-
awuy from home; they were .in-
mediately isolated and competent phy
sicians were at hand to take au nec
essary measures to prevent tbe spread
of the fever. Moreover, the disease
In the cases of those attacked is appar-
•ntly of a very mild type.
People In the Immediate neighbor
hood where yellow fever appears,
however favorable tbe conditions may
be for sappressing It, do not is
rule coant tbe chances of tbe disease
spreading. They get away at once, if
they can, and perhaps are right in do
ing to. We have seen how hastily
