than t: Is unfair to pretend or claim
ttwet tn preserve the pirtty of the two
meMls -It would require thirty time*
-as much silver ns goM In a dollar.
While t! Is Srue that to'e price of silver

Thus (a likewise -true of silver.
While we are assailed on the one band
by thoee who claim to fear a “cart wheel - ’

by the Populists, who attack us because
we did not declare tn our platform for the
16 to 1 ratio. Tbe Alliance did not pul
16 to 1 In their Ocala platform, nor did
the third party have the IS to i demand
In their Cincinnati plaform of USl, or In
thetr St. Louis platform of 1831.
There are Democrats vrbo favor the 16
to 1 ratIJ. because they believe It will give
ta tn honest silver dollar; and It Is en
tirely proper for constituencies entertain
ing this vlsw to elect members of congress
who are willing to conform to their opin

that the matter of paramount Importance

this Increased demand ha* upon Its vaiue.
and 5 * change at ratio u necessary It
can be made with seUrrtlfic accuracy. The
matur of vital Importance In the begin

of ritto, but the fact of making silver a
nt-indsrd money and e-curlng the parity
of our dollars For this reason only the
ratio ia Important. A c ingi ■ t ratio Is
ntlc undertfk'ng that It ha»
silver per capita—why la It that the rntte-l

is needed in the currency cf the nations,
coining it whether as standard money or
r s subsidiary coin. The' imaginary sur
plus of silver does not exist. We need not
fear the threat, it Is a harmless one.
AMERICA CAN STAND ALONE.
As an American, I believe In maintain
ing our Independence in ita highest, best
and brosdest sense. We should stand will*
ing to agree with other qatlons. but not
humiliate ourselves by begging tnem to
agree with us. I believe that this coun
try, with Its 70,000,000 of people, and Its
$70,000,000,000 of property, Its exhaustible
resources and unbounded enterprise,
should refuse to wait longer for the con
sent of a foreign power and proceed to
establish a financial system of Its own.
I take It aa true that when the Chicago
platform recognized that this silver ques
tion could be solved either by an inter
national agreement or by legislation, it
meant that It should be settled by one
or the other of these methods; that some
might prefer one and some the other, but
that we should get together and fettle
It by one method or the other. I did ■ i»qt
then, and do not now, understand that
it meant that Democrats were to divide
between these methods and fall to adont
either. The Chicago platform was rignt
and we cannot doubt that the party will
In good faith live up to It. It is now two
years since that platform was adopted
and as yet there Is neither an interna
tional agreement, nor the prospect of one.
What we now ask Is that we wait no
longer for the consent of other nations,
but take that part of our plaform which
calls for Its settlement ourselves and let
the American government take care of
Americans by the settlement of this ques
tion as the Chicago platform declar* the t
we can—by legislation, independsnt of for
eign powers. This was the position l took
when, as a candidate for the party's nom
ination. I went before the people ^dvoex-
ting the use of silver as standard money
and the free and unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver on a parity, without wan
ing longsr for an International agreement.
These views were Indorsed by the Demo
crats of Osorgia, in convention assembled,
and are embodied In our platform tn these
words:
“We demand tne hnmeumir «
such legislation as will restore silver to
Its const!tutiotml position as a money
und will secure at once the free
and unlimited coinage of gold and silver
on a parity, and give to every dollar In
circulation, whether coin or paper, the
same debt-paying and purchasing power.'
This declaration of the state convention
Is the law of the party, and to this It Is
my duty, and the duty of its public speak-
' - tm Ihs n*»nAi'm*ll’
trs, to conform- It 1* Uti Democratic
creed upon ths illver question. The party
has made this declaration became It Is In
accordance with Democratic tradition and
Democratic doctrine. No man eon go on
the Etump In the state of Georgia, *hfl Is
tho name of Democracy, oppose the free
and unlimited coinage of stiver, nor con
any one of Georgia’* member. In congress
toll to feel the binding force of this dec-
''when* you *»k me what should be the
COUTH of our lenders and representative*
upon this question, I cannot better reply
than ln the language of Daniel Hanning.
Mr. Cleveland s first seerstary of the
treasury, who said;
••Public life will cense to b* the smbl-
tlon of honorable and worthy men It the
deliberate pledges and profc.med prlnclplei
of political parties are not a law for their
My countrymen, when sllvsr Is restored
to Its proper place In mir currency It win
be the fruit of Democratic victories. It Is
the only party tn America witling to legis
late tn the Interest of silver that will ever
have the power to do tt. From 18<3, the
time when the Republic-one demonetised
silver, every battle fought for silver hna
been ftiught by Democrats.
DEMOCRATS BEST FRIENDS TO SIL
VER.
All legislation favorable to eUver since
1113 has been the result of Democratic ag
itation and cfTort, and the large amount
coined since that time baa t-cen under
Uw. forced lioon ths Reaubllosns by our
representatives In congress, and the strong
public sentiment aroused by Democratic
leaders out of congress.
If It Is your desire to secure silver leg
islation. It Is utter folly to abandon the
Democratic party for the Populist*. If
you were to elect eleven Populists to con.
grass from Georgia (an Imposs!!*" thing
to suppose) you could not have eleven ss
good friends to silver ss the eleven Dem
ocratic nominees. The difference Between
them would be that the Populists con
sider the matter of ratio to be of pin.
mount Importance, while tho Democrats
consider tbe msiter of paramount impor
tance to be th» making of silver s stan
dard money, and the placing of the silver
dollar on s parity with the gold Hotter,
making It of equal debt-paying »nd pur
chasing power with every otter dollar.
The Populists’ fight for * faeclfio ratio,
whsther It gives us currencies of dtftsrent
value or not. It Is a matter or no Im
portance to them If. under our currency
system, the dollars trs so varied In value
that when you go to a store to buy goods
the merchants must ask what money you
will pay him In before he will price his
^'"looking to the work of the last con-
.grass upon the currency question it must
be borne tn mind that to have deelt with
this question In a comprehensive manner
In the midst of a fearful pant.- would
have been s most favorable time,
end that tbe leading Issue In the election
of Mr. Cleveland and ths present congress
was the tariff. For thle reason It was the
Imperative duty of the administration to
meet and leglrfate upon that question.
It has been the policy of this administra
tion to take up one question at s time.
Mr. Cleveland ha* only been in office m
ymr and a halt ami the contract with
him ls for a term ot four, years. Let us
give him a chance to dear with this quM-
fon. Do you not know that If, tn tne
midst of the tariff fight, he had thrown
the power of the administration tn the
fight for the repeal of the it per cent,
tux on state hanks, he would have so In
creased thi compllcstlms then that that
bill would hove been lost and a61 tarllf
legislation defeated? His polity has been
to take up one subject at a Bms. Nesr-y
two-thirds of his term Is still ahead of
him. He Is an honest courmgous andla
patriotic man: he Is a Democrat, devoted
to the Interests of his party and anxious
for Its rue cess; he Is a man ambitious to
transmit to history an untarnlfaed fame,
ind I do not doubt that during his term
of office Ms best efforts will he given to
std the party In complying with Its every
Diedge and that hs will submit to the
next congress a comprehensive and —!"•

PusscDgera on the Macon anil Dublin
train that left Macon at 3:10 Thursday
afternoon tvere witnesses to a sensa

paralleled In the annals of crime In
Georgia.
The principals to the blood-curdling
affair were IV. A. Stuckey of Wilkin

Iaturena county. Taylor ls now a corpse
at his home in Dublin and Stuckey Is
at tho point of death lu Laurens county
Jail but may pi.ss.bly recover.
The tragedy occurred at Turkey creek,
ten miles this side of Dubliu. Taylor
was sitting near the (rout end of the
ladies, coach. Stuckey's wife, who is
Taylor’s sister, was sitting by his side
uud Stuckey occupied n scat behind

occurred between the union and non-un
ion longshoremen here this morning In
which one white man was badly beaten
end two non-union negroes were ahot, but
not fatally wounded. A gang of about
thirty non-unton niggers started down
Bay street st about S o’clock this mom-
il'g to begin work upon the first loading
cotton ship of the Mason. At the cor
ner of Bay and Houston streets, they
were met by a large gang of union ne.
groee who blockaded the way. Blows
were Immediately resorted to by both
parties and pistols drawn. Probably twen
ty-five shots were fired. The non-union
men were outnumbered two to one nnd
retreated, leaving their foreman, a white
man by the name of .Mark Cain, on the
ground. Cain wns badly beaten amt
kicked In ihe bead and face. Hla two
colored foremen, John Williams and Wil
liam Adams, were badly shot, being
wounded severs! times each.
The police, who had been notified to
expect disorder,. responded In force, but
none of the assailants of the aon-unton
men could be Identified. It la believed that
several union men were wounded, but if
so they were spirited away by their fel
lows. The non-union laborers were reor
ganized and escorted to their ship by a
squad of police. A large squad of police
were kept on duty on Bey street all day
and when the non-union men knocked oft
work In the afternoon they were escorted
back to the office ot their employer by
the police. Several arrests were made by
the police during the day of parties said
to have been negaged In the row. Bad
feeling extata between the union and
non-union men, and more trouble Is like
ly to follow. The military commanders
of the city have been ordered to have
thetr commands In readiness to respond lo
any call and details of men are on guard
at all the armories. It 1a believed, how-
ever, that the police will be able to ban-
tile the situation.
Mayor McDonough la endeavoring to
bring about a conference between tbe
ship brokers and the longshoremen, with
a view to settling the dllterenceo between
them.
