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 !

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, SENATOR GORDON. . !'ron> 'I I k AustiMa Cl.roni If.

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.

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.
