Lawrenceville,<3a., August 3,1594.
The work of democratic or
ganization goes merrily on.
Thf. government is coining one
million silver dollars a month.
Nearly all the democrats of
Gwinnett county are for Bacon for
senator.
Judge Hines will be the worst
used up man that ever ran for of
fice in Georgia.
Major Bacon is popular with
the masses because he is in sym
.pathy with them.
The crops of corn and cotton
are not more promising than the
prospects of democratic success.
Populism has thus far failed to
make a base hit, and the indica
tions are that it will fail to score
in the fall.
We feel constrained to say that
Ben Blackburn’s Daily Commer
cial is the most fearless paper pub
lished in Atlanta.
What the Atlanta Constitution
doesn’t know about the financial
question would crowd the Ency
clopedia Britannica.
If Thomas Jefferson
up out of the grave he
buke the fellows who are ciituJPK
ting sins in his name.
The democrats of Gwinnett
county are in earnest now. They
are organizing in all the districts,
and are very sanguine.
If the full democratic vote is
polled in Gwinnett, the third par
ty will be snowed under by one
Markthei,re

Kor that kind of reform, vote the
populist ticket.
To-morrow night we will know
who the nominees of the democrat
ic party will be in Gwinnett. Who
ever they may be, they will receive
the hearty support of the party.
Every day that passes furnishes
evidence that President Cleveland
is a better friend to silver than
those rash fellows who desire to
plunge this country into silver
monometallism.
There are many people who be
lieve that Major Bacon will have
more votes m the legislature than
all his opponents combined. The
News would not be surprised to see
Major Bacon overwhelmingly elect
ed on first ballot.
The convention which mot in
Atlanta yesterday was the most
representative body of men that
ever congregated at the state cap
itol. They were the war horses of
democracy, and they will charge
the enemy with a rush from now
until the third party is routed in
October.
The indications are that sixteen
hundred white voters will join the
democratic clubs in Gwinnett
county. A few very enthusiastic
democrats believe the number will
reach two thousand, but The News
does not think so. However, there
will be a sufficient number to lay
the third party forever in the
shade. They will never be heard
of after this year.
Republican State Convention.
The republican state executive
, committee lias issued a call for a
Convention to be held at Atlanta,
on the 29th of this month, for the
purpose of nominating a ticket
for governor, and all state house
officers.
As to the propriety of making
these nominations there is a wide
difference in the ranks of the par
ty. The Buck element favor put
ting a full ticket in the field, in or
der that the g. o. p. may preserve
its autonomy, and the leaders be
in a position to receive the loaves
and fishes, in case it succeeds in
ousting the democrats in 1890.
The other wing of the party op
poses seperate action, and favors
turning the bridle loose, and al
lowing the rank and file to vote
the democratic or populist ticket,
as they may prefer. Col. Buck is
out of the state, and will not be
able to return to Georgia in time
to manipulate things according to
his way of thinking, and the prob
ability is that a course opposed to
bis views will be adopted.
in the campaign of 1892 Buck
issued a circular letter directing!
Jhe republicans to support t
■lire! party ticket, esptx ialj^’
The Democratic Platform of 1892.
Its Pledges Are lleing Redeemed.
The populist speakers and pa
pers now profess to be thoroughly
in love with the Chicago platform
of 1892, under which Cleveland
was elected and the control of
the government turned over to the
democracy, but complain that none
of its pledges liavo been redeemed.
This charge is not supported by the
facts, and we propose to expose its
falsity.
Cleveland was inaugurated only
sixteen months ago, and within
the short time that has since inter
vened, no party has over done so
much towards the redemption of
its platform pledges. To verify
this assertion it is only necessary
to recur to the platform itself.
The very first demand is for the
repeal of the odious federal elec
tion laws, which are denounced as
“fraught with the gravest dangers,
scarcely less momentous than
would result from a revolution
practically established monarchy
on the ruins of the republic,” and
which “means a horde of deputy
marshals at every polling place,
armed with federal authority ; out
rage of the electoral riglfts of tliej
people in the several states.”
This law has been wiped from
the statute book, and federal inter
ference with elections in the sever
al states is a thing of the past.
The next demand is for a revis
ion of the tariff, and the repeal of
the odious McKinley bill, which is
denounced as a “fraud on the la
bor of the great majority of the
American people for the benefit of
a few,” and accompanied with the
declaration that it is a “funda
‘mental principle of the democratic
party that the federal government
has no constitutional power to im
pose and collect tariff duties ex
cept for the purpose of revenue
only,” and a demand that the col
lection of such taxes shall be limi
ted to the necessaries of govern
ment when honestly and economi
cally administered.”
A bill revising the tariff has
passed the house of representa
tives, which has been amended
and passed bv the senate. This
bill is now in the hands of a con
ference committee composed of
members of the two houses, and
has not yet become a law, because
of the objections on the part of
the house to some of the senate
amendments. That the difference
between the senate and house
will be adjusted is practically as
sured and this pledge will be re
deemed before the end of the
present session of congress.
This measure makes an annual
reduction of $75,000,000 from
the tariff taxes levied by the Mc
kenley bill, and also imposes an
income tax of 2 per cent upon all
incomes above $4,000, thus com
pelling the holders of non-taxable
government bonds to bear their
just proportion of the burdens of
government.
Much criticism has been indulg
ed in because of the delay of con
gress in the revision of the tariff
schedules, but this was unjust
and underserved in a great meas
ure. With a large majority in
both houses of congress the re
publican party was engaged for
two years in the construction and
passage of the McKinley bill, a
work which the democrats have
practically accomplished in one
half that time. There are so
many conflicting interests involv
ed in tariff legeslation that no
bill can be passed that is not the
Outcome of compromise and con
cession.
The platform also undertook to
deal with the fraudulent pension
system put upon the country by
the republican party, and to cor
rect the corrupt practices that had
grown up under it, whereby mill
ions of dollars were being paid
out each year to those not enti
tled to share this bounty of the
government and demanded that
“the work of the pension office
shall be done industriously, im
partially and honestly.”
Under the present administra
tion the process of purging the
pension list of unworthy and dis
honest pensioners has been pushed
so “industriously, impartially and
honestly” that an annual reduc
tion of $80,000,000 in the amount
of pension payments has already
been made,and still the work goes
bravely on. If the efforts to weed
out illegal pensioners were to stop
now, the saving of $120,000,000,
during the four years control by
the democratic party, from this
source alone, is an acheivement of
which any party ought to be proud.
The platform denounced “the
republican legislation known as
the Sherman act of 1890 as a cow
ardly makeshift, fraught with pos
sibilities of danger in the future.”
Under the operations of this act
the treasury was being depleted of
down; in the shadow of an over
whelming depreciated silver cur
rency, gold, treasury notes and
national bank notes were with
drawn from circulation until there
was not sufficient money left in
; tin- arteries of t rade to do the busi
ness of the country. Thiscontrac
j tion of the currency, and conse
iquent low prices of all products,
* was due to that immutable law of
finance under which the baser cur
rency always circulates, while the
j better is hoarded.
Congress promptly repealed this
act, and the good effect is appa
rent, everywhere. Factories and
! workshops have been reopened, and
j honest labor is being furnished
with employment; public confi
dence has been revived; traffic is
gradually being restored to a nor
mal condition, and the enormous
reserve that had accumulated in
banks is again finding its way into
the channels of commerce. This
country has been visited by sever
al panics, but never in its history
was it threatened with one so dis
astrous as that of 189!! would have
been, but for the prompt and hero-j
ic treatment with which it was met j
and averted. For recommending
this action Mr. Cleveland was lat
terly condemned by the disappoint- j
ed sore head element, and also by j
many good people who did not un- j
del-stand the situation and the no-;
cessity for such legislation, but j
time lias already vindicated, not
only his good intentions, but the
wisdon of bis counsel.
The platform also declared that
the democratic party holds “to!
the use of both gold and silver as
the standard money of the coun
try, and to the coinage of both
gold and silver without discrimi-,
nating against either metal or
charge for mintage, but the dollar !
unit of coinage of both metals j
must be of equal intrinsic and un
changeable value, or be adjusted
through international agreement,
or by such safeguards of legislation
as shall insure the maintenance of
parity of the two metals,” so that
there shall bo guaranteed “an
equal power of every dollar at all
times, in the markets, and in the
payment of debts.”
This pledge of the platform has
not yet been redeemed, but we have
no doubt that it will bo during
Cleveland’s administration. The
democratic party favors bimetal
lism, and the re-opening of the
mints to the free coinage of silver,
and only differ among themselves
as to the method by whicli this
end is to be accomplished. Some
insist on increasing the ratio from
16 to 1 to one that will make the
intrinsic value of a coined silver
dollar equal to that of a standard
gold dollar; others to the free
coinage of silver up to the greatest
possible amount, at the present
ratio, that can be kept on a parity
with gold. But the most powerful
element insist that free and un
limited coinage cannot be resumed,
under present conditions, by this
country alone, and can only be ef
fected, with safety to the people of
the United States, by internation
al agreement. The latter is Mr.
Cleveland’s view of the question,
and he expresses the utmost confi
dence in the rehabilitation of the
white metal to its proper place in
the currency of the world during
his administration. He is as bit
terly opposed to tile single gold
standard as any member of his
party, and believes that those who
advocate separate action by this
coutry to be the most dangerous
enemies to silver. If this ques
tion is studied from an impartial
and non-partisan standpoint it
will be found that there is great
force in Mr. Cleveland’s view of it.
He insists that silver was designed
be the Creator for use as money,
and that the continued use of it
throughout the world is necessary
to the comfort and prosperity of
the people of every nation. But
the act of the republican party, in
1878, closing our mints against the
free and unlimited coinage of
that metal, having forced several
of the leading commercial nations
of the old world to adopt similar
measures for the protection of
there own interests and reduced
silver to a mere commodity and
the price of bullion to the point
where tin* amount of silver in a
standard dollar can now hi* pur
chased in the markets of the world
for 60 cents, that it would impov
erish the people of this coun
try to open its mints to the free
and unlimited coinage of all this
depreciated bullion, thereby com
pelling the American people to re
deem it, by coining it into legal
tender dollars, for double its actual
value. The strength of this posi
tion will be more fully appreciated
when it is known that the silver
j stock of the world aggreavted the
j enormous sum of $4,042,500,000,
and that of this sum, the United
i States only has $015,000,000. The
j $8,427,500,000 held by the other
—nmmu'i**- "i 'l**- world cannot be
! would sustain a loss of sl,/18,500,
000, to be borne by all the people
of the United States. Such a
j course would enable Europe "to
1 buy the next 6 cotton crops < >f this
I country at 50 cents on the dollar,
and thus bankrupt the southern
| farmers.
Now, knowing that the other na
tions of the world will be forced to
i re-open their owimniints to the
j coinage of this huge mass of silver,
. unless we take it off their hands at
(double its market value, his idea
is that this country should keep its
mints closed against them, until
they come to an agreement for the
j resumption of its coinage through
out the world. All the nations of
Europe are now favorable to the
! resumption of silver coinage, with
the single exception of Great Brit
! ain, and the necesities of her mer
cantile interests, which are so in-
I ter woven with those of India and
! South America, are such as to force
! her into an agreement with the
; other nations. At a large meeting
|of leading financiers held at Lon
don last May, a resolution was
adopted urging that country to this
course, and the question of silver,
or no silver is already the leading i
issue in the election of the nextj
House of Commons.
But for ihe firm attitude of this [
country on the currency question, I
the present agitation in Europe,
over the rehnbiltation of silver j
would never have been inaugurat
ed, and we believe that the contest
will, in less than two years, result |
in the triumph of its cause, and j
the re-opening of the mints of the
world to its coinage.
Major Bacon and His Traducers.
There seems to be an almost
unanimous public sentiment in fa-;
vor of electing Hon. A. O. Bacon
to the United States senate to sue- [
coed Hon. Patrick Walsh. The j
country papers of the state are!
| speaking out for Bacon, and nine :
I times out of ten the country pa
pers represent public sentiment.
There are, however, a few papers
i in Georgia whose editors seem to
have a personal grudge against
Major Bacon, and we notice that
I they are turning their batteries
on him and abusing him at a tc r-
I rilile rate. These soreheads mis
take thf) temper of the people if
they think they can detract from
Maj. Bacon’s superior fitness for
the senate by untying their bags
of gall and dosing an innocent
public with them. 'tz*.
Those who have heard Major 11R;'
con’s speeches for the last three
weeks say that no other nmb in
Georgia possesses a broader grasp
of public questions. He seems to
thoroughly understand American
institutions and is a lover of them.
He sees, with the keen eye of a
statesman, the evils that beset us,
and ventures, with commendable
patriotism, to create a sentiment
which will result in the correction
of them. On the financial ques
tion he is outspoken, yet reasona
ble and conservative, occupying a
position to unite the factions in
the democratic party.
Wo believe it will require a great
deal of trickery to defeat Major
Bacon for the senate.
A Dual Position.
The Constitution demands that
the extremists in the south bo rele
gated and the conservatives adjust
the tariff on a sensible basis.
This is nice talk for a rigid con
structionist.
On the financial question the
same paper insists that the salva
tion of the party lies in relegating
the conservatives and leaving the
extremists to legislate.
There is beautiful consistency in
the two positions.
What the people want is the
legislation that was promised in
the declaration at Chicago. The
pledge on finance, while not a de
mand for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver as the Constitu
tion would have it appear, was,
nevertheless, a positive pledge to
make silver money of final value
I and give it the same chances before
the mints as that accorded to gold.
The conservatives are trying to ig
nore this demand and the Consti
tution condemns them.
The platform also makes a pos
itive declaration in favor of a tariff
on a revenue basis. There is no
| equivocation. The alleged ex
! tremists are trying to carry out
this simple demand, and the same
; paper goes to the defense of the
| conservatives, who are standing in
the way of the party pledge.
If the extremists are to be rele
gated in one instance, why not in
all—so that party promises may
he consistently ignored.
What the country needs today,
is more extremists—more of the
] men whom the Constitution would
relegate. It is only these men of
positive force that ever amount to
anything when pledges to the peo
ple are to be redeemed, and it is
I only such men that keep alive the
principles of true democracy. It
is the pull-backs, the dogs-in-the
manger, the cowardly conserva
lives like Gorman, Hill, Brice A
Co., whom the Constitution would
j applajSd and appease, that have
| stooddn the way of a manly ro
; demotion of party pledges.
Tlie Democratic Platform,
For three or four days our es
teemed contemporary, the Atlanta
Constitution, has devoted much of
its editorial space to advice in re
gard to the platform to be adopted j
by Thursday’s convention of dem
ocrats. The general effect of this
advice is that this is no time for
(lodging or equivocation in regard
to the political issues in which the
people are interested. This is the
general effect of its advice, but con
sideration of all that our contem
porary has said, leads us to believe
that it is interested only in one
particular part of the platform, j
“The people are perfectly willing
to tolerate perfunctory indorse
ment of individuals,” it says,
which means, of course, that it is
not opposed to compliments paid
President Cleveland by the conven
tion so long as they are personal
to him and do not deal with the
acts of his administration, for the,
reason that it will regard such!
compliments as meaningless,
j What it desires is that the demo
jcratic convention of Georgia shall
; declare explicitly in favor oi the
! free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 1(5 to 1, thus adopting the Pop-j
j ulist platform on the silver (flies-1
! tion. Its advice, repeated day as- j
j ter day, and insisted upon in the!
strongest language it can employ, j
is that the democratic convention I
do this thing.
Is this good advice ? In what j
position will it leave the demo
crats of Georgia if the prospect is
realized that during the next cam- i
paign the silver question will be i
the dividing issue in national pol- j
itics? Our contemporary insists
that this step is necessary, ifdem-j
| ocrats are not to repudiate the
principles which, they have always j
asserted and upon which they have
! always acted. In other words,!
j that the free coinage of silver is j
! the traditional democratic policy
land that the failure of Georgia
j democrats to assert it will prove
| that they cither lack courage, or
are false to the principles and tra
ditions of their party.
No state convention can legis
late on a national question of this
kind in such away as to blind the
opinions and actions of democrats.

-o nun'll by I lie desire to. liml^B
true meaning as by the fact fluff
it was itself thoroughly commit
ted to the free silver propaganda
before that platform was adopted.
The adoption of that platform was
a defeat for the free silver extrem
ists of the democratic party,
among whomo was our contempo
rary, but it lias steadily refused to
acknowledge defeat, and is now
trying to turn defeat into u per
sonal victory, by persuading the
democrats of Georgia to put upon
the platform the interpretation up
on which it has insisted. To adopt
the populist silver plank would be
either to put that.wnterpretation
upon the democratic party plat
form or to defy the national demo
cratic party on tins question when
it is about to become the great is
sue in national politics.
We have never seen any room
for doubt as to the meaning of tin
silver plank of the Chicago plat
form. It seems to us a perfectly
explicit declaration in favor of a
bimetallic currency. But while
this is true, wo have not denied to
any one, to any individual demo
crat, his right to interpret the
platform for himself. He has that
right, and no action of our state
convention can deprive him of it.
A resolution in favor of the free
coinage of silver at the 10 to 1 ra
tio, without the safeguards that
would insure bimetallism, would
commit no Georgia democrat to
the acceptance of that doctrine.
The only effect of it would be to
prove that the democratic party of
Georgia, as officially represented,
I is, on the principal issue of the
| day, more nearly in sympathy
i with the national populist party
; than with the national democratic
party. Besides it would give a
personal triumph to our Atanta
contemporary that might relieve it.

But when this question comes to
the front, now that the tariff ques
tion is about to be settled for some
years to cone, the situation is
changed. The disorganizing effect
upon the party of such resolutions
would be the same as if in 1890 the
democrats of Georgia had declared
in favor of a prohibitory high tar
iff. We say this because we are
convinced that the national demo
cratic party will never consent to
| the free coinage of silver except on
terms that will insure the contin
| vied uso of gold as money—that
will inspire the bimetallism in
which the democratic party has
from the beginning firmly believed, j
j Therefore if the democrats of i
j Georgia declare in favor of free
coinage in the manner proposed,
they will find themselves, when
the next national campaign begins,
obliged either to support a party
with whose main purpose they
have officially declared that thejj
do not sympatize, or else to repudi
ate the action- of this convention j
in passing a populist silver resolu-!
tion.
To say that bimetallism is a I
traditional policy of the democrat- j
ic party is true, but to say that
the free coinage of gold and silver i
i at a ratio which does not represent j
the relative commercial value of!
j the two metals is false. At the
'time when, the constitution was;

j univefplly employed as money.
They were the money of the world.
Nothing else was. They were the
I world’s money, not by the legisla

but by tlie universal acceptance of
) all men. Governments, in mak

and regulating their use as money,
merely accepted a situation which
they had done nothing to create.

Government Control ofliailroads
I i-Gtmoral Master Workman
Powder]}' of tire Knights of Labor
discussed the great railway strike a
Prospect Park New York, last Sun
day. In the course of his speech he
said : “It is not Pullman, and it is
not Debs, who is responsible for
the present state of affairs. It is!
the fault of the system. The
time in •st come when the govern
ment w’ll control the railroads.
That is the time we are looking
for, and its bound to come.”
By “we” it is, of course, under
stood that Mr. Powderly meant
; the railroads employes. Mr.
Powderly, how'ever, did not under
take to show how the railway em
ployes would be benefited by gov
ernment control of the roads, nor
did he discuss the question or the
danger to the liberties of the peo
ple that such control would threat
en.
A year ago there were in the
employ of the railroads nearlv
1875,000 men, all of whom, it is to
be presumed, are voters. The
number increases every year, us
the number of miles of railway
increases. If the government con
trolled the railroads it would vir
tually have the support of this
vast army of men for almost any
purpose because, having control
us their wages, it could coerce
them into almost any course of
action.
Suppose an ambitious and un
scrupulous man should be elected
president? Would it not be a
comparatively easy matter for him
with such a vast army of railway
men, together with more than 100, j
000 of other government employ
es to retain the olhcc of president;

Even without such control the
movement toward a more central

rapid. The pending strike is not
being dealt with by the states in
which there is lawlessness, hut by
the national government. State

they have responded.

j ury at the rate of $30,000 a day is
palpably unfair.
We suppose the Constitution
did not know any better than the
degree of information which its
| article indicates, but it ought to
I know better.
Its statement that this coinage
!of silver does not add a dollar to
! the circulation is ridiculous. It
is a fact that about one-fourth of
; the dollars so coined are an addi
’ tion to our volume of money. It
would require only three-fourths
of the bullion now in the treasury
when converted into dollars to re
deem the notes which were issued
for its purchase. What does the
j Constitution suppose will become
jof the other one fourth? The pro
cess which Mr. Carlisle is now pur
suing turns it into money and puts
, it into the channels of circulation.
The Constitution takes the ab
surd position that the coinage of
all the silver bullion the govern
ment has Would make only exactly
as many dollars us it cost the gov
ernment. If that were true we
could enter at once upon the free
coinage of silver without fear and
in exact accordance with the re
quirements of the democratic plat
form that the parity of gold and
silver shall be maintained. §
The Journal has referred to Mr.
Carlisle’s action in reference to the!
coinage of silver to show that the
administration of President Cleve
land is no* opposed to silver but
that it is making every effort in
its power, which is consistent with a j
sound financial pqlicv and the j
PROF KSSIONAL.
