HMSAGRIBBS WITH ITSKLF.
1 Mr. Thomas G. Boggs nude it short
speech ini Augusta. Thursday ef.cruo.yn
fn the Interest of the Mcmph'S sound
money orowention, ■which we lind re*
parted It* the Augusts. Chronicle and
the Atlanta Constitution!—Ihe two lead-
tug free silver papers of far state.
Stiere are somewhat remarkable dif-
IVreTxvs In the reports. The Chronicle
declares In Its news coluu ii* that
“there was a surprisingly hi rise r.umb?r
nf gold standard men” in the audi-
enee, while editorially it dech/os ihu.
there were only a “few." The Citron-
iole also says that Mr. i5of»», Mww.r-
used by the applause ct the audience,
“delivered a few plitltudes on the line
that time Is money, la ho- ts the stand
ard of value, eud that values are gov
erned by the law of sipply and de
mand," while the Coesiiiuton says
that Sir. Boggs' speech gave evidence
that "ht is not very conversant with
the gold standard platitudes.”
I Really, the Chronicle ought to recon
cile itself with Itself and with lu At
lanta mentor. What are Us readers to
believe? Were the friends of sonud
money, even of Uie gold standard,
“suiprlslngly numerous" in that audi
ence or were they only « “few?" and
was Mr. Boggs platitudinous or was
he not? And what what does the
Chronicle understand a “platitude" to
be? Aro wo to understand that the
statement that "values sre fixed by
the law of supply and demand" Is a
platitude which can be safely treated
av'.tji contempt when law* are being
made? If so, Is the old saying, so long
accepted as true If homewhat cynical,
that ‘honesty Is the best .policy,“ also
a platitude which should be Ignored.
If all the facts awl the rules of con
duct based on them estatH short ny the
experience of mankind long ago, and
which are therefore hid and unitrter-
rating, are platitudinous and con-
totnpribie, by tvhat rule does the Cliron-
icle propose that voters and law
makers shat hereafter be guided? Are
they to proceed on the theory that
values are not fixed by the law of sup
ply and demand, because that law Is
platitudinous? And are they to insert
the wont “not” in the other old rule
Which we have mentioned, making it
read, “honesty Js not U.s best policy.”
In order that It may have novelty awl
interest, instead of bo ng a contempti
ble old .platitude, unworthy of the no
tice of modern silver statesmen?
, Not only does the Chronicle differ
with itself and its mentor, but it
charges. In effect, that the free silver-
lies of Augusta are very poor polltl.
clans. It explains that Mr. Boggs d d
not appear as an opponent of free
coinage but purely «s a worker in the
interest of Memphis; tint “he would
be Just as active in the interest of a
Hirer convention if that was to meet
in Memphis; that be was not attempt
ing to settle the financial question; that
that would be left to the Memphis
convention, and he could not say what
that would do.” Under these circum
stances there would have tieen nothing
wrong in the overwhelm 1 ng majority
of free silver people, which the
Chronicle assures us, editorially, was
present, taking charge of the meeting
and sending up a delegation of free sil
ver men. If Mr. Boggs was merely
working for a delegation and didn't
care what kind of delegation, courtesy
to him did not require that it be
made up mainly of men opposed to the
free coinage of silver on the terms now
proposed. It would certainly have been
good politics to send a free silver dele
gation to the convention, ts It possible
that ihe reporter was right In saying
that the number of persons present
opposed to silver monometallism was
‘‘surprisingly large?"

THE GEORGIA MANUPACTEDRERS.

using an ably officered association, have

the least of the good results which the
organization of the association Insures
fs an adequate display at the Atlanta
exposition of the progress already made
by the manufacturing industries of
Georgia. Few people, we are sure, re-
ullzs the extent, variety and excellence
of the products of Georgia factories
and milts.
(M*J. J. F. 'Hanson, who was selected
ns the president of the association, is
a man of great executive ability and
almost vehement energy. No better
^election could have been made, and
under his Itrsplr.i tin® and control the
results of the work of the association

Macon has a duty to perform in th's
Inattor. The proposition to hold a
carnival came from Macon through the
columns of the Telegraph and the prop-
caltlon was indorsed not only In Mi-

eagerly taken up by outsiders and by
the press of the state. The fruit
grower* Indorse K. They want It and
they look to Macon now to give them

.Every one In Georgia will be gratified
to know that the Peach Carnival which
haa been so much talked about is now
practically assured. Mr. George Dun
can, who was selected by the Young
Men's Bust nous League as the man
best fitted to take charge of the nr
riingememts tor the carnival, has ac
cepted the responsibility and bis well,
known energy and determination will
rally to his assistance the best material
it mot g the young men of Macon and
Ihe fruit growers of the state.
The carnival will be A good thing for
Macon. It wilt be a good thing for
Georgia, and ns It must not In any
perse of the wont be considered a .sec
tional emtorpr'se, w? hope to find that
It will be given the hearty support of
every man Interested tn the hulldintg
tip of Georgia.
iMacon as the true center of the fruit
growing section of this state, ts the
proper place for the holding of Geor
gia's Peach Outrival. Our pwtple owe
tt to themselves to sbotVthat'they can
take the lead In matters affecting the
wotlfare of those farmers and fruit
growers who do so much to help Ms
coat. This Is no small undertaking, it
will call for hard work on the part of
these who are selected to fill responsi
ble places on the necessary committees
and the Telegraph hopes that every
man who accepts a position will do so
with a full sense of direct personal re
sponsibility for the success of the car
nival. There should bo no ornamental
attachment* to the machinery, no
shirkers and no laggards. The finan
cial support necessary to start the ma
chinery and keep it going from atari
to finish should be freely given, not In
any grudging spirit, but as an Inrest-
meut that wilt bring In handsome re
turns.
The history of similar undertakings
in Macon points to the fact that nil
the walk has been thrown on a few
puhliospirltcd Individuals, while othens
who should be tn the harness, pulling
their share, have held aloof, content to
allow their names to appear on the com
mittee lists, and without taking any
active part, criticise the work of those
who are active In the field.
The tnd!on.tlon« are that In this un
dertaking a greater unanimity prevails
and' It to to be hoped that not only will
the history of the Georgia Poach Car
nival prove an exception, but that a
new Spirit will be aroused among our
people tn all enhmprtses of a public na
ture in the future.
