ALL DISEASES of the blood a. cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which by its vitalizing, enriching, and alterative rfleets makes only PURE SI.OOtL PEKKYTO THE PEOPLE. A Kinging Address in Which He Hives Kcasons for tin* Faith that is in llim. To the People of Banks County: As you have seen from mv an nouncement, I will come before yon as a candidate for the Democratic nommation tor Congress. 1 address you especially now to ask that you do not net to hastily in instinctual your delegates to the nominating convention, and that you first give me an opportunity to be heard in behalf of the cause I repre sent. 1 assure you it is the cause of us all. Six years ago the South seemed on the high road to prosperity. It is true we were suffering from bleeding effects of the Republican high tariff, and also from the lack of local cur rency bv reason of the prohibitory i tax on State banks of issue, but in spite of tbesa evils, which the Dem ocratic parly was manfully trying t - > correct, our magnificent natural resources lia brought us to the front. Foreign capital had at Inst found us out. Cities cprang up almost in a night; mines were being opened, mills started, railroads built-, and new industrial enterprises were heard of ori every side. However, when in 181)0 the silver miners of the West, in the vain hops ol checking the fall ing prices of that metal, renewed the clamor fin free silver legislation, and the Houth unwisely made cause with them, capital—always timid—-took wings and our blossoming greatness was nipped in tlie bud. To day what a change! We have had time enough to be cured of the heresy. No one objects to the use of silvet an a money metal, blit every man who loves Ins country ought to ob ject to the standard of the do.lar oeing lowered to suit the fluctuations of silver. Every business interest depends upon maintaining an uniform standard of value. Any apprehen sion of a change in tins throws all business trails actions into confusion, and checks all industry, all trade, and all enterprise. Without a ccr tain standard no one knows Ix w to make a trade, hurt- to contract, how to invest. Silver is valuable as a part of our currency, but is only freely accepted in trade m the smaller transactions. The amount which the business of the country will use as money is therefore limited. Hut gold, Ibd more previous metal, is universally accepted the world over in any amount try everybody and in all kimb of transactions. There b no limit to the amount of ;mld which can he used as money, an - tlicri fore it is universally the slumlord. Suffi cient silver should be coined for all purp ses of trade, but silver can only be kept of equal demand with gold by so regulating its coinage as not to force any larger :u ount than this on the ponple. The effort of the free coinage men has been t < lift silver to a position the God of Nature never gave it. The proposition was ' to coin it m unlimited quantities and j force people by law to take it as ! leg and tender for any aino mt. Strange | to say, this unnatural effoit gathered sttch support from unthinking people j that business man lost confidence in | our finances, gold went out of circu lation, the currency wan contracted, and a period of dis'rust and uncer | Utility set in which has continued j until the cry of distress goes up from : i every comer of the land. The only remedy is to put ourselves squarely oil n sound basis, and this would bring us better times in ten days.! i I will say to all who favor silver that 1 am on my principles a truer friend to that metal than any man who favors its free coinage. The unlimi ted coinage of silver would throw it I upon its own strength, and it, would ; sink to its market value, and everv I silver dollar would be degraded and | debased, and. w hat is more we would then have only that kind of money, and bo actually without any money in the true sense of the word. That would be the real demonilizalion of silver, lint government by controll the coinage of silver keeps it on a level with gold, and every silver dollar of our four hundred million in u..c here is worth a dollar throughout the world. In fact with the country committed unequivocally to tie ao. cepted standard, and its credit thus firmly established, we could perhaps safely use in our currency even more silvar than we can now. We might then coin the seigniorage with pro priety. I a.i, a true bimetalist, but i-i no other way can we have both metals as money. I can truly say T have nothing al heart but the good of my country, and it is because I sue the wide spread havoc which tiiis agitation of the free coiling# of silver has wrought that I have taken the field against it. It is actually reducing our people to beggary, and the only ones benefitted are the money sharks, speculators iu U. S. Bonds, and loan companies who arc fattening oil of our nece#sities. These latter -dreadv have their holdings in every, l ook of our God-given land, and if we do not have relief we will soon be bett ers of wood and dravveis of water to these moneyed corporations. I speak the words of truth and soberness. W e are in the crisis of our political history. [The fate of our ebb ddren’s children hangs in the bal ance, and no man can afford to b- in different. For the sake of home and country put the seal of your "con demnation on this Populistic financial heresy. Do not leave the sell Icon i 1 o' these <pu stiolis in the band -of in terested politicians, but demand fail opportunity to art with delibraiion and to express yourselves at the pri rnarics Watch the action of the National Democratic Convention ii. Chicago. If that doe not come cut for sound money 1 could not consist ently ask a a nomination. But if that convention, as iL assuredly will, puts our party squarely upon the sound money plattonn how can you eon list .cully select as a standard bearer one who favors free coinage ? As for my self and the cause 1 repn si nt l only ask fair play. This every honest mao will concede. It is impossible to argue the ques tion fully in u newspaper article, but I hope soijii to address you fin to face. Respectfully, 11. 11. l’r'nuv Gainesville, Ga., .March 21, DIM).
