MONEY PLANK OF THE EEMO
CRATIC PLATiORM.
i 1 We denounce the Republican
legislation known as the
man act of 1800 as a cowardly
nnikeshift, fraught with possi
biiilies of danger in tlie future,
which should make till-its sup¬
porters, as well as its fr.vmor,
anxious for ils speedy repeal.
We hold to the use of both
gold and silver as the standard
money of the country, and tin
coinage of both gold and silver
without discriminating charge against
either metal or for mint¬
age, mrr the dollar unit of coin
age of both metals must be of
equal intrinsic and exchanok
able value, on lie adjusted
through an international agree¬
ment or by such safeguards
legislation as shall -insure tin
maintenance of the paiity of
the two metals and the equal
UUKCIIASINO POWER OK EVERY
dollar AT all times in the mar¬ j
kets and in the payment of I
DEBTS ; and we domnnd that al
ptipei with currency and redeemable shall be kept, in such a! j 1
par !
We insist upon tins policy as
especially necessary for the pro
tection of the farmers and labor
ing classes, the first uiul most
defence ess victims o c Unstable
money and a FLUCTUATING eUK
KEXCY.”

PLATFORM.
We demand the free and mi
limited coinage of silver at the
legal ratio of 10 to 1.

Senator Gordon.
Tlie Democrats have always
been able to get on the Came
platform when ihe issue was
squarely made oil the eve of an
election. We guess that the
gold ami silver men will get to
getherin due season
CbTTON.
There is a surplus of cotton on
hand which lias caused the low
price to some extent. The ar¬
gument is that it is over produc
tion. This can hardly be so ex¬
cept in the tsenne t hat there has
of necessity been an under de¬
mand for cotton goods. Had the
prices been better the goods
would have been bought, and
there would have been no cry ot
over production. But be*that as
it may it still remains that there
is a large surplus, hence the ne
cessity of a smaller crop this
year. It is estimated that
acreage this yeai is 12 per cent,
less than last, and that perhaps
20 per cent less fertilizers used.
If the two will yield 20 per cent,
less cotton the crop will b9 de
creased about two million bales.
With the prospect of betu,
wot Id, aud A It! ie t
decreased two million bales, the
farmer mav reasonably expect
7 or 8 cents a pound for. cotton.
If this can be realized, with fill
ed cribs aud fat hogs our coun
try will be once more restored
to peace and plenty, regardless
ittl-eeilvei’ and gold agitation,

There are in the United States
according to the census of 1890 :
Baptists (13 bodies)
members; Catholics (7 bodies)
G,257,871 ; Christians (2 bodie:)
1 0 3,7 2 2 ; Congregationalists
512,771 ; Methodists (17
4,o 8 9,2 8 4 ; Presbyterians (12
bodies) 1,278,332. Since the
census these figures have been
increased. The Christian Churl)
claims the largest per cent, in
increase—about 85 per cent.
This would change them from
103,722 to nearly 200,000. They
have made headway since ’90,
but have not reached one mil¬
lion.
The amusement ground of tlm
Cotton States and International
Exposition has at length been
the "Midway Heights.”
Despite a tendency to name it
something else, the public gen
erally took it as an Accepted fact
that it should be called the Mid
way and it was suggested that
on account of the commanding
of the street, overlook
ing the Exposition grounds, il
should be called M id tva y
Heights. The name lias been
formally a lopted, and it will he
along Midway Heights that the
great crowds who attend the
great fair will find amusement
and recreation.
The Southern Association of
General Passenger Agents have
had under consideration a scale
ot rates for visitors to the Cotton
States and International Expo
This scale is based to
some extent upon the principles
fhe zone system. No conclu¬
sion has been reached, hut the
understanding is that if the Exr
position people' give the rail¬
roads satisfactory assurance
that the visitors will be taken
care of when they get to Atlan
ta, the roads will be put on rates
which will be eminently satisfac¬
tory to the public, and will
bring immense crowds to the
Exposition. This has given a
