An Englf.h View of ttao Oliver Q,ue.tlon
We publish thte morning a remark-
tble tetter recently written by Mr. W.
tt“Tiremeli, an ex-govemor o£ ihe
Bank of England, in which he d.a-
eussea the silver question. Ilo Is one
af the best known and moat respected
flnindera of England, nntl though his
views on the currency ore not gener
ally accepted in that country, ho onu
always command n respectful hearing.
He represents a respectable mlnorfiy
opinion that is undoubtedly growing
in influence.
Mr. Grenfell is convinced that the
attempt to make gotd nione tne
world's money will fall, nnd gives good
reasons. He describes the struggle
that has been going on for gold and
the bad results that have already fol
lowed. Then he points out that this
struggle Is about to increase ■ in in
tensity, because new and powerful
competitors are entering into U. Aus
tria, India nnd the United States will
draw largely upon the supply of gold,
Increasing constantly the dlfflcuKes
which hamper English commerce oud
tend to impoverish English workers.
The same effects are felt In every Eu
ropean country, and in all of them
those effects wiH be greatly accent
uated If the struggle goes on much
longer.
The United States will not escape.
The present panic will pass away,
quickly we hope and believe, nnd our
financial system may be so emended
ss to overcome many of the dliBcal-
ties that now disturb business; but the
country will not rise ho the highest
pitch of prospwfty, even If all other
rouWUoos bo favorable, until bimet
allism be again accepted by the worhl
of commerce. Butt we bcllve that this
country will be nffcatod far leas than
its rivals. It is richer (ban any of
Orem, its productive power In greater,
it yearly creates far more value than
it consumes, the balance of trade Is
largely in Ms favor, it can borrow on
easier terms than any other. All these
elements of strength give M tut easier
command of the world’s money.
If this strength is wisely used, is it
not certain that in a abort dare Eu
ropean govirnmerits will lie compelled
to see that Mr. Grenfell is right end
abandon monometallism? Even If the
struggle sbpll he somewhat protracted,
will not the Idas of prosperity be far
leas than If our peopio were afflicted
with s debased currency and blmetal-
Lnm rendered forever impossible?
There seems to as no doubt that it will
be far leas. Free coinage of silver
without regard to the commercial
value of the moral and without tin in
ternational agreement could hardly
fall to afflict ns with such a currency,
and then the immense stock of gold
In tUs country, too valuable to be used
ms money, would go to relieve the dis
tress brought upon Europe by mono
metallism. Under such circumstances
an hMenmrional agreement would be
Impossible. We would not be in a po
sition to Induce or force Europe to en
ter into tt. We would remain In the
condition that India and Mexico are
now until we consented to buy back
the gold w* tail lost by the urn of our
credit -lnt-rcasing the national debt to
that extent.
That England, of whose cnndlttou
{dr. Grenfell write*,*!* the chief obsta
elc in the way of free coinage, is shown
by the address of M. Tinted, French
delegate to the recent Brandi confer
ence. France Ins a larger stiver re
serve than any other tattoo, but, he
sold, 'in spots of that she would con
sent, perhaps, to do what is asked of
her (permit free coinage of silver) if
there was any reciprocity—if those
powers which nre wedded to mono-
mdtalMsm should decide to adopt the
free coinage of silver. But otherwise
what would happen? If France nnd
the Latin union should alone open the(r
mints to the free coinage of silver, an
the sarphM silver of the United Urate*
and of Mexico would go to France, in
Maly, to Belgium. And when would
thaw countries be able to use It? No
where, ohms to the rest of Europe none
wish to admit n ns legal tender. If,
on the contrary, other European pow
ers, such as England, the German em
pire, the Scandinavian states, and oth
ers, would consent to open their mlots
to the free coinage of silver, then the
aspect of the question would be
changed.”
The repeal of she Sherman law does
not, in our opinion, mean the abandon
ment of sliver ss a mono* metal, bat
the first step toward tot complete IX-
halkUtation.
house with the least possible delay.
Only about twenty days nre allowed
for hearings. Soon after that the Mil
wilt probably be reported.
The committee Is mainly made up
of *ien who have long been Id on! I (led
with the tariff question, many of
whom, no doubt, have practically been
nt work on the bill for a long time,
knowing that they would probably l*e
assigned to the ways nnd means com
mittee. Thoir work will largely con
sist of comparing conclusions which
they have individually reached and
reconciling tlrelr differences of Judg
ment. These conclusions wlil doubt
less be modified -,o a considerable ex
tent by the advice of the experts who
take advantage of the committee’s In
vitation to appear before tt.
Mr. McKinley's bill was mainly a
compilation of the ratca asked for by
persons directly Interested in the tariff
tax When as much protection a* pos
sible had been put Into It, the revenue
feature was taken up, and the duties
were taken off sugar, th» Idea being
not to reduce taxation so much as to
reduce the revenue.
We do not pm»,i *v-„ wo—*, tariff
bill to be a radical free trade mratsure,
but the principle followed In construct
ing It will be exactly opposed to that
which guklcd Mr. McKinley. The In
tention will be-to rednee taxation ns
much ns possible and to increase the
revenues. At the same time Mr. Wil
son and hlg colleagues nre conserva
tive men, nnd wlll-not lose sight of tho
vsst wealth Invested in protected en
terprises. They have no intention of
we
It unproductive.
If the committee is able to report Its
bill by the middle of October, wh'ch
seems probable, the house should be
able to pass it .before tho Christmas
holidays without unduly curtailing de
bate. The McKinley bill. If we
member correctly, was debated In the
house only about three weeks, and was
passed when only a few pages had
been considered. If twice ns much
time be given to 'he new.bill. It ran
still be sent to the senate before the
Christmas recess, and be a law b.tfore
the flint day of March.
We consider >t a matter of first Im
portance that congress should net
promptly In this matter. We believe
the country would be the better off ir
the new tariff bill could be made a law
to three months, instead of the six
which we have allowed as the more
probable length of time necessary to
Its passage through both bouses. The
uncertainty which hampers husiiews
and will check o return to prosperity
would be that much sooner remot"!.
Nor can there be any doubt In the
minds of Democrats that promptness
would Inure greatly to tho beneflt of
their party. The new law should ha to
time to commend Itself to the country
before the elections next year. When
it has brim in operation several moults
the people will know it for wh/u tt Is
nnd cannot be deceived by predictions
of disaster resulting from M. We
therefore rejoice In the disposition
cxlnced by the committee to hurry Its
bill through.

Business depression, labor strikes or
any misfortune which interferes wttn
the usually smooth process ol produc
tion and exchange nre welcomed by
these social revolutionists. Ait Bitch
times they are able to emerge from oD-
scurlty and pceo as the peculiar friends
of the poor. In that capacity they
strive to bring about strife between
dnsses, by denouncing the holdors- ot
wraith and the government whteh pro
tects them In its possession 4n the moot
violent language. Many of them nre
honest fanatics, who sec In the break
down of nil authority and the reduc
tion of all men to a common state of
poverty the millculum of the human
race. Nothing Is important to
'them except equality. They are will
ing that nil that civilization nod Indus

man in authority and in wraith. Oth
ers are conscious imposters, -who hope
■to gain as leaders in a social revolu
tion the consideration they cannot hope
to win under existing conditions. Per
haps they are equally dangerous to
society.
The problem they set is n difficult
one to solve. The state cannot prornpt-
whlcli they themselves propose to use
against the state, without risk of put
ting Itself in n false position and doing
Injustice to better men who may be
found in their company—men whom
they hare deceived and who with the
retnm of prosperous times will become
industrious and valuable citizens. The
only thing to be done, apparently, Is
for tho authorities jo repress disorder
sternly when K commences. They can
not suppress the agitators, how
ever dangerous tlrelr incendiary ap
peals to passion, without giving these
men additional power by making them
martyrs.
Mr. CrlipAVai Might.
When Henry Olay was speaker ho
frequently participated in the achate*
of the house. Since Ills time the prac
tice has gradually been dropped and
of recent years It has been very »"1-
dom that the speaker has taken the
floor. While the presiding officer of
the bouse Mr. Carlisle delivered one or
two speeches on the tariff. With ill s
exception, we do not remember that
the speaker of any recent congress has
left his chair to take part In a debate.
it is not surprising, however, that
Speaker Crisp thought It proper to do
la the manner reported In yester
day’s dispatches. Mr. Heed has al
ways deeply reaan’ed the eriUcU u ex
cited by his revolutionary couduct
while speaker of the flfty-flrst con
gram. Ills sarcastic, comments on tt.e
new rules Just reported to the house
were intended a* a defense of that
cooduet, and mtsrepreaented the char
acter of the proposed rules. Mr.
Crisp, who is chairman of the commit^
toe reporting them Kid mainly respon
sible for them, naturally snd property
came to their defense.
Mr. Crisp's reply seems to have b.cn
an unanswerable one. At least, Mr.
need completely /ailed In his attempt
to answer It. In fact, he had nothing
to say except to qutwtlon the propriety
of the speaker’s net in taking notice
of bhn.
The truth la, ns Mr. Crisp pointed
out, the new rnk* anti those of the
flfty-flrst congress differ completely In
principle, it Is uecnaotry to lodge
somewhere the power to close debate.
Experience has show tnat without the
exercise of that power a small mtnn--
ity may complexly block the business
of the house. The new roles give that
power to the bouse Itself. Hie Heed
rules gave tt to the epeakir. An even
more important difference is that it
was possible for i'p_ukor lieed toeiunt
a quorum when no quorum, voted, >hcs
compelling members wav tore utterly
opposed to a pending !>Qi to. In eff-xt,
vote for It. Und.v the Democratic
rules the speaker has i.» such tyra mi
ca! power.
Mr. Crisp's coarse will only add to
the respect in which he is held by the
house tnd the country.
History May Urprat ltarlf*
•Mr. Cleveland seems ito be unpopular
Just st present with a considerable
number of Democrats. In his Attitude
toward the silver question some of
them think he Is In. antagonism with
<iiu Chicago platform; others, too just
and clear-headed to bring that tto-usa-
lion against him. yet believe, with the
other*, that he Is Imperilling the fut
uro of the party. It Is difficult 'in say
Just what they think hc’ought to have
done when congress met, anil perhaps
they have no clear idea on the subject,
but they are certain that the more rad
ical free silver men are offender and
the party to that extent weakened.
We are by no means certain that
they are right. In 1887 Mr. Cleveland
sent n message to congress which
raised a great howl. The timid men
In the party were frighten.:*! half to
flratb and those with a leaning toward
Hepubllcan protection were made
fighting mad. And tight they (lid.
They were sure that Cleveland was
fool, if not a traitor, and had rain
the party. It Is worth observing, per
haps, that the newspapers which Yvere
the maddest and did the most dghtlti
then against Mr. Cleveland are - the
same which are mad this time und
again fighting him.
But they were wrong in 1887. - llr.
Cleveland’s famous tariff message did
not ruin tho party. It to true that he
was defeated for re-election the next
year—largely because of the a ttacl
made upon him in his own party b
cause of that motamge—but the party
came out ot that temporary dole-
stronger than ctct. For the first tim
In many years Ms ranks were solid,

overwhelming vlctories-ever aloe
'Mr. Cleveland's boldness ami Indirect
ness. Instead of mining the party, g.
It life and courage, and the attacks
hie enemies, instead of ruining hi
gave blm a strength with the rank arc
file of the party with which the uti
skill of tbc-morit adroit politicians
were his enemies could not contend.
He became the Irresistible leader
nn hrestoUble party.
It to well enough to remember lh- »e
facts just now. Again tt may lx? to
that the president was right and
enemies wrong. We believe It will be.
He has been sustained by it majority
of his party In the house, though
enemies bad been diligent In trying
make M appear that he represented
nothing but Wall street
ral bnrine**, nnd nine tftsra ns much
as our rival, England, which formerly
led us at so great a distance that we
thought wo could never catch up. We
furnish Mexico' with all its raw cotton
and most of Its manufactured product;
with half Its food product, nil its ma
chinery, and even with its glass nnd
china ware.
The foreign trade of Mexico to very
small when compared with that of the
United States—email even when the
comparison is made per capita. That
is because the mass of the people
Mexico are poor and their needs few.
But now that they have stable gov
eminent, their condition will Improve
nnd they will become larger consum
er*. Mexico may yet become one of
our valuable customers.
Two Merltorlnufi OSIli.
Mr. Springer has introduced in the
house a bill to coin the silver In
the treasury in excess of the quantl
coin notes in silver dollars. There Is

add to -the resources of the treasury

if unrepealed, add indefinitely to the
volume of silver currency. Mr.
Springer’s bill would ndd a certain

Increase would not add appreciably to
the difficulty of maintaining the parity
of our”gold and silver money.

that of the United States, $30,000,000

money 1s so scarce that the banks of
nearly every considerable ■ city have

banking laws in order to avoid precip

banks to Issue notes up to par of the
bonds they have on deposit to also
meritorious. It would cause the addi
tion of dt least $10,000,000 Immediate-
to 'the currency, and might muse,
eventually, the addition of much more.
Opposition of the hill growing out of
opposition to the mttoual banking sys
tem is unreasonable. The banks
would be rendered more useful, but
the system would not be strengthened
against Its enemies.
Of course these bill* are nothing
but (temporary expedients. They will
do nothing toward a settlement of our
finances upon a permanent basis; but
they will do much In affording relief
from present distress. Tho quickest
way to get more money in circulation
Is to pass them.

The order of bostne* adopted by the
ways and meant committee shows that
the Democratic members an deter
mined to get their toll before the
Bibb county will receive from the
atatc school fund this year $22,034.50.
This Is based upon a school population
of 12,594, as shown by the census taken
some months ago.
Le:t year nhc got 317,055, uu n popula
tion of 10,377.
The information of the Increased ap
propriation from the state to tills county
was sent out by State School Commis
sioner Bradwell Monday, he having
just completed his laborious task of
estimating the appropriations for the
various counties of the state, based upon
an apportionment of school population
In each.
So the county schools will have a
snug su mfor their support, notwith
standing the heard of county uoinuiia-
slonsrs refused to appropriate the $15.-
000 asked for by the board of public
education some time ago, which was
felt to be needed in view of the report
which hnd reached the board ot educa
tion to the effect that Bibb’s appropria
tion would only be but $18,520 for the
year.
The county appropriated only $42,000,
the same as the year preceding, which
gives the public schools nu appropria
tion from both state and county of
$(4,034.50.
The total amount of appropriations
for the schools ot all counties in the
state for tho year will bo $1,058,532.52.
which will be divided out according
to the school population of each at
shown by the last census, taken some
time back.
This Inst census shows that there are
(04,971 children in the state old enough
to attend school.
Some ot the counties, it can be seen
by a comparison of statistics, have
shown up a considerable increase In
school population, and in some of them
corresponding decrease. Upon an
average, however, there ■ ha* been a
considerable Increase.
A very gratifying feature shown by
the census is that out of the entire
population of the state 97 per cent, of
the children attend school, leaving only
S per cent, who are not having Geor
gia’* excellent educational advantages.
Georgia has heretofore ranked fifth
among the state* of the Union a* to
her number of illiterate children, nnd
this stepping up Is most gratifying.
Commissioner Bradwell ha* figured
out the appropriation for caoh county
as follows:
