Mr. Carlisle laid down the following facts to be taken up and denied by the silver men: 1. There is not a tree ooenag* country m the world that l» not on a ell basts. 1 There la not a gold standard coun try in the world today that does not use Bfiver money along with gold. 3. There la not a silver stwndwra coun try hi the world today that use* gold along with silver. ♦ m*sssfva <* mtft a silver Btandamd coun- try- In the work! today that has more tnan one-third the circulation per capita that tne U«itued States ha* 5. There Vs not a etlvtr standard coun try In the world today where the labor ing man receive, fair pay tor hi. day. pausing off the stage of active politic*, aiul those on which he was a Democrat were coming forwwrd for settlement. iNever uomtoa'lly an n*K-i>ei*ieui. per- htaps he mm In his attitude towards polttkul parties and political questions the best example of the hxVepeudeint in pollt.es the country h is known dur ing rectal t years. Not a pnotfo^tioutil, nod therefore an Impotent, independent, he nevertheless had the to.tependcnoe which enabled titan to follow a polit ical principle which he held dear into or out of nay political party. Mr. Gresham's conduct of the state deportment has been subjected to the harshest criticism both by the Repub licans and a faction of the Democrats, but ft should be remembered that this criticism had for 1U main purpose the disTedltlng of ei hated administration and could not have been escaped. This U equh-J'Ient to saying that the criti cism was dishonest, and we do not doubt that tt wad entirely dishonest, except In the rare 1’nntances In which it proceeded from genuine “jlncoev, anxious for the country to be at war and caring nothing for the issue on which tt was fought. To every un prejudiced mao. It seems to us, Mr. Gresham's course must appear to be in srriot accord wi'h the best tradition's of our foreign office, and also to accord with the demands of Justice. In adopt ing and follawins this oourse he was obliged to ignore all the passions and prejudices by which men have been swayed during the last two years, but the courage and patriotism which en abled him to do thin will not cause hi*- toi-hnm to put a lower estimate upon hint and his work .when they come to write tne rv.«i»ujr of our t.mcs. be rial. HARD on the silvekites. .These are statements of fact. No patriotic citizen can desire that the United State* shall sink to the condi tion of the stiver stoudard-bc deprived of the use of gold as money; have the quantity at its money reduced; hare the wages of Its working people low ered. It follows that no patriotic citi zen, can desire the free coinage of sil ver unless he has been convinced tbit the causes which have produced certain results In inn tty foreign countries will, If put I'D operuttoD here, have an tin- tirely different effect in the United States. The burden, of praving that free coinage, which ho* not preveuted nafongl aud Individual poverty in any oOuntry whore A preya'lls, will in the ^ United States insure nitidnal ore! In- ,1 iv-itTu-.il wealth, therefore rests upm * those -who urge the adoption of that p-}™. toy the United States. It Is not sufficient for them to de nounce those who oppose their views as money sharks, terles, blood-suckers and about everything else that is wicked. In this tbeve bs neither fact nor argument, hut abuse only, and what Is needed to the settlement of this question is facts and reason. Suppose that these charges were true—that Cleveland aud his cabinet, most of the men to public life who have been roost fully trusted by the people, a conceded majority of the .people themselves In mumy states of the Union, are traitors, secretly working to the taterest of Great Britain, or hove been bribed to betray the mrws Into the ba-nd* of the "Wall street and Lombard street sharks’*—suppave, we say, that these chargwi were true? Who* possible chance would there be for our country! Would not its destruction be certain If its most trusted men and great ma-wes of fits citizens were so utterly false a«l corrupt? It seems to us that the roan wbo ac cepts these charges «• must have despaired of hi* country amid be pre pared for any kind of desperate action. But they are not true. It Is possible that hero and there * man willing to sell bb country to tbs money changets maty tavve attained to a. pkioe of power, but most of tho men to tosh public places, is nvctl as the iiaoses of tho people, are actuated by a genuine sense of public duty to taking position on the currency question. To charge that those on either side of the question are trations betrays * narrowmws and io- tokrutxv of spirit that deprives the man or newspaper of displaying all right to a patient sad respectful hear, iutg. When appeals to possion and preju dins are made, tho live statements of fact made by Secretory Ovrllsle should tie kept tn mind. par DEATH OF MR. GRESHAM. The death of Secretary of Slate Gres- ham takes from public Ilfs a mao of a type rather unusual at tbia day and of vory oonaMemble force. Personally ho waa very attractive—winning friends eus iy and holding them firmly; but era* T*vt In this respect the* he differed from other men prominent to public affaire. Ttu-t difference was In the at titude which Mr. Gresham assumed to ward political parties. To him they seemed of far loss Importance them po- irrtcaJ principles. It seemed to him therefore, a perfectly proper thing to pans from one party to the other, or to oppose tnoasurra favored by the party with which be trained, when he found that such action was required by toy ally to the political principles to which he had given to bts adhesion. During bs long conueottoo with the Republl can party he was to many respects Democrat, and when he bcoame a Dcm ocrat to his nileeijoce be remain*1 aome respects a Republican. .His transl toon from one party to the other wan natural one, awl came st the time when the quest'xni on which b* was Brjubbcan bid been settled or were It is a favorite argument with the free coinage men, to prove that the value of silver to stable; tout the prices of wheat and silver have gone down to gether. -Vn ounce of silver, they say, will buy Just the same amount of wheat now that it would buy ten, twenty or thirty years ago. But we have seen noth nv of thts favorite argument of late. Wheat has been going up to price rapidly and Is now selling for thirty cents a bushed more than It did a. few months ago,- while silver rema ns at about the same old price. The same thing is true of cotton, of labor and of various other things. They have rap idly Increased in value, while the sell ing price of silver has remained toe same. How can this be true, tf the nil vert ie argument has any truth to And If it be true that the demonwi gallon of s'lver is Impoverishing and enslaving the world, and particularly the United States, hotv can the rapid Increase in wealth to this country—and ulurly tn the debtor sections of —be accounted for? Tfoe Atlanta Constitution to the gloomiest of silver prophets, the fiercest of those who de nounce "the crime of 18*3.' the most prolific of mournful description* of the loss and suffering caused by that crime, yet it would be easy to show by the Constitution's own columns that until silver got into pollt cs the editors of Hint paper -thought the coun***y. tho South and Atlanta wonderfully prosper ous. Indeed, the Constitution was Cpr years a. “boom” orgin, and always took cheerful view of the situation. It was then full of prophecies of future greatness and prosperity for the coun try and the state, tn spite of the de monetization of silver. The return of prosperity, now being evidenced «n every h.iaiel On rising prices. Increasing wages a ml greater ac tivity to trade, runs counter to the prophecies : "d desires of Ibe extreme silver men; but they should not grieve.

Is it not certain, if a president and congress tur voring free coinage wore elected, that every man who has money lojc-ed would use every passible means of col lecting R? Is it not equally certain that every man in possession of money would refuse to loud It, when there Was the least poticbtllty thoit R would repaid to "cheap” money? With creditors pushing ruthlessly for a set tlement and money owners -holding Jealously to their possessions, the coun try -would see & period of ps-ftie, com pared with which the darkest days of the summer of 1873 would seem bright. N-or would this period be a brief one. The election occurs to November and oongro* meets in December of the next year—thirteen months later. Then would com a toe difficulty of passing the free coinage bill over a strong and des perate minority. The probability Is that it could not lie passed before toe next summer, amd toe country -would thus have about two years of waiting from the time when tt declared for heap” money to toe time when cheap" money hegau to circulate—un less, to toe meantime. the treasury bad io-uim* bankrupt and failed to fulfill Its obligations under the law of m-a-'.'D- tatalng toe parity of all the money now circulation. \ What lias the .South, which needs all the foreign capital -it can get, to gain by a policy that -will lock up all capital not already tied up in Investments -and offer a premium of 50 cents on too del- i-r for the prompt collection of money now loaned.

WHAT OAK TUB SOUTH GAIN ? tFor many yearn ’It ban been strongly felt by the people of toe South that the great need of their section was capital. They knew their country to be pos sessed of wealth-producing resources equal, tf pot superior, to those of ony oilier country In the world, and saiw tha-t R remained poor—poorer than any other melton. They recognized thq fact thoit the South'* great resources were not developed because, mainly, there was not here toe accumulated wealth —the capital—necessary to set ut work the developing eoengUw, amd during nil those years they hoped that dually the necessary capital -would be brought from abroad. Every Southern news paper has been Inviting the capital the North snd of England to seek this field of tarestment aud arguing that there Is oo safer or moral productive field. Leg Mature*, town councils and other pubho bodies have been doing the same thin*. There has been ovl deuced ID every possible way the ap preciation by the Southern people their need df foreign capital and their eagernem that it shall come tnto these states abundantly. It U true that tstse Invitations to forcten capital were most entirely In words, our legislation on the whole, being of s character J repel *t; but the fact remains that Southern people generally hawe for many years ardently desired that foc- egn capital shall become available for the development of Southern resources. Is is possttie that a sudden change has occurred in the popular feeling the South sot the people now deairs repel forego capttal and compel the Instant withdrawal of the mahnus ready to ate hers?
