The Augukta Chronicle Is disposed to pity the Telegraph Ibeeause we are un able to thoroughly understand than pa per's position on the silver question. Perhaps -the Telegraph deserves to bo pitted lor Its stupidity, but It does seem vo us <th.i,t even bright, capable, well-informed minds must And some little difficulty in understanding exactly the Chronicle's position. It makes what It calls ,1 ti very plain and simple statement of .the ease." In rhe course gf whieb it deals mainly with -the “co lossal crime" committed by the chief nations of Europe In the early 70's, When they demonetized siiver, and thus shut off moat of the demand for the white metal on that oomtlncDt, but winds up with the s'uttcenem that “any dollar which the United State* declares a legal tender and will receive In pay ment of aM dues, Is os valuable as any other dollar.” It is statements like these chat parade the Telegraph. Why should the Chnonldo argue elaborately to prove that the world twrto ruined by the demonetization of silver and in the next breath «i«eft that our government, by its flat, can make all the money our people need? It seems Imposs-ble to reconcile the views of a man honestly believing In silver ns money-for such a man, after all, btdioves that money should have inuriiito value and d ff* r» wl h the gold man only as to the ma terial which should be used—with the views of a man who does not believe that money must have value In Its ma ter.aJ, but may owe all of its value to the government?* decree. Yet the Chronicle apptrer' ly entertain* both these sell* of view*—argues that stiver is Just os valuable as H ever was, la spite of the fact that much of the de mand foe It has been withdrawn by the action of the governments of Eu rope; that the loss of half its primary money ban inflirttul enormous loss on the world, and then immediately as sents l h.it the government can make money <ui good as gold or silver out of anything that It may choose. It .nay be stup'd In the Telegraph to be una ble to underhand how the Chronicle can believe In hard mouey and flat money at the s i me time, but probably a good many people state Its stupidity. The Chronicle proposes to tnaugurate a new system of flnanco, and It seetus to u« that l should give the reasons ceipits Increased so .much that In March the deiflolt -was only about a quarter of s aulilion. The doflclt for April will doubtjeas be larger, because In this month large pooston (i*aymet*ls and the qujulutly or semi-annual interest on a large pun. of the public dubt must be mot. Hut the average monthly doflclt is fairly Centura to steadily decrease for the next gtx months, and tt Is not im probable that, when the regular time for the mect'-ng of congress arrives, there iwlll be no deficit. In Vhe face of a prospect tike this, we do not think It protable that 'Mr. Cleveland will rail congress* toga tier, and we do not think he ought to do no. There are certain till logs wltkjh gongresB oughlt to do, but there Is 11 title chance that, If called to- gather, Hit wonfld do these Ithlngs. In all probability, the only effect of its medtlng would be to renew the anxiety of toe business comm unity as to its ac tion. A house with a big Republican majority, a senate in which no party has a majority, and a Democratic pres ident cannot be expected to work to- getiher harmenlnwly In the settlement of great public questions. OPENING UP CHINA. It seems* to have become definitely known -at hist thalt Japan has offered peace to Ohiua on Ike following terms: 1. The indqpendence of Corea. 2. The cession of 'Formosa. 3. The cession of the Llantung prom ontory, Including Port Arthur. 4. A wur ioslemnly of 400,000,000 yen. 5. The admiration of machinery into Chin.-, and permission to foreigners to establish factories. 0. Modification of tlhe Likin (city gate) tax anil tlie extension of the sys tem of transit passage for Impou s. 7. The opening of certain Chinese rivers und canals to foreign commerce. 8. Railway and similar concessions to Japanese and other foreign capi talists. It Is further said that the Chinese peace commissioner has accept-si nil of these .:enms excqpt the third, and that he should hesitate to sortonder Port Arthur and adjoining territory is not to 'be wondered at. The great fortress occupies a position on the north side of .:he strait by which the Gulf of Po- clrill is connected with the opra ses, and possess on of tt will give .1; pan cjqun ind of that gulf tad make of exchange with the oounitrles of Eu rope. The fluctuating value of our currency, measured by the European ntandand. would make it necessary for loss by allowing s. larger margin in price far profit. Pennsylvania has for many years had no natimutl politic* bn.: protection. Several genena.tlcncs aoo tlie people r»f that state beosrae eotsrtwed that their prosperity depended upon compelling their fallow-citizens of todier stones to pay higher prices for Ithe goods they used than would he oecewir.v ra the atwoDce af high duties. It t» likely, therefore, that the free silver cause will have large support in tbn.t state, but in Is not likely that, thalt support mill be based on Ittoe false pretense that free coinage would reutdr in bimetal lism. remsylvanlnns generally, like Senii'ors Quay and Oaimerou, may sup port free coinage, tat the simple rea son thntt silver monometallism will be, In effect, protoetlan. The si me reason ought to be sufficient to convince every Democrait that the free nvlnaso of ail- ver, without international agreement as to the ratio, imtMt be a had thing for the country. IVe say Ihls because iwe uudenakiml every true tDemoonU to be lieve that It is gtxsl morals and good national policy no remove every ob struction passible from the path of trade, In order (thalt exchanges may be cheap and easy. It was tor the re moval of such obstruction* that the eoruatry vo ed overwhelmingly in 1800 and in 1802. the pbtfo-rm the same interpretation that 0: doe* now.

IT CANNOT STAND. A SUGGESTION ACCEPTED. A day or two ago the T-iesraoh en tered a plea for fairness in the dlscus- th-at an honest fkffereuce c.f opinl-si on that question did not give the advo cate* of free s Ivor a right to denounce the president, for differing with them, as a .traitor to his country and hi* par ty. The Atlanta Constitution, replying, says thut “the answer to this cla m for honesty of opinion is easy.

If possible, the interpre tation placed on the silver plank after the drerion WUa over t The Telegraph accepts this suggestion a* a valuable one, and turning back to it* file* of 18!)2, of d ue* subsequent 10 the adlapMou of the platform of the party aa: Chlotgo, finds that on July 0 tt said: "The Democratic party at Chicago de clared la favor' ot the free coinage of stiver, on condition Chat the coin con tain 100 cant*' worth of silver. The Dem- casy for her to SAtaok the Chinese cm- &rirta of tha houae are eonaldertng sjheth- plre in Its most vital apA. Moreover, the cession of Don: Arthur and .the ad joining territory would do more to hu miliate the rclgoiru Chinese dynasty In the -minds of The Chinese people than all of the other concessions put togsber. China lias frequently been oonqu.red In war before, bty the mas* af 8b* Ictkoau-ut Chinese pootrfo revet beoame aware of that fact. They con tinued to believe ttio'r country over- wheflrolnifly powerful in war and to regart foreigners not only as hateful but court etngMde.

Why Is It that in -Mexico and various other countries where tho mints are open’on equal terms to both goM and silver, at sSssat the 10 to 1 ratio, ssd what the American flert did fl>r Japan Itself In ISM. The English and the French have waged suoccartnl wurs against China, onoe oven oup uring tho capital, but their surecas left Chinese conserrat sm untouched.
