Harrison Was Kept Out Of a Hole"

Harrison Was Kept Out Of Hole
. Imam interview in Nev YORK. a dtr or
. two ago. Gen Harrison gave 60 tr.of His-
. tory of the sherman sis. r-pur.hl7f aet.
he said ia was wcu understood. %; the
. time the act was pissed. tnlt f. was only
4 ana Dypcdicu' taaj is. 10 va. intended 20
. prevent something warsa. viz. tFe free
/ coinage OF silver Iu the course Of his Pc
marks. he s1id that the democrats were
/ willing 90 vote for frce-coinlge bill
/ Gust to put Harrison i'm "a hole" He de
clared they were willing 60 do anything
on the silver question TO make that hole
deep"
Here we have in nutshell the history
Of the silver purchase act. If that act
had not been passed free coinage bill
might have been. and Gen. Harrison. who
WIS President, would either have had to
sign il or veto it, II such a bill had been
passed, it could not have become a law
over the Presidents veto, because the
necessary two-thirds vote could not have
been obtained for il.
But Gen Harrison did not want to be
put in the position Of vetoing free coin
age bill. although he was against free
coinage, because he was candidate for
another term, and a veto would lose him
the support Of the silverites Therefore
his friends fixed up the expedient, the sill
ver-pUrchase act, in order to keep him
out Of a hole" A bad law was enacted
and immense interests sacrificed in order
that Gen Harrison chances for second
term and the chances Of his party for
retaining control of the government
might not be injured.
Those republican papers that are con
tinually asserting that if the silver pur-
chase act had not been passed, we should
have had a free coinage law, ought to
read the interview with Gen. Harrison.
They will find enough in it to convince
them that there would not have been a
free coinage law because Gen Harrison
would not have signed
free coinage bill, if one had passed.
The signing of such a bill would have
been his political death warrant, and the
vetoing of such a bill might have injured
his political prospects at that time.
Therefore the makeshift, the expedient,
the silver-purchase act was suggested by
that shrewd politician John Sherman,
and it was adopted, and Gen. Harrison
signed it, laughing, no doubt, at the way
ebad prevented the democrats from put
ting him in Hhole"
In view of the vast amount of injury
the silver-purchase act has done the
country, neither Gen. Harrison nor his
party ought to feel great deal of pride
in their work. Perhaps, however, the
satisfaction they get out of their success
in avoiding 'hole" dug for them by
their political opponents is much greater
than any regret they feel for the financial
losses and troubles they have brought
upon the country in accomplishing their
objects.

smile to come over the congregation, but the
brave preacher went on with his duty.
Name this child" taking the next in order
pierre Gustave TOutant Beauregard" was
the answer and the smile grew into a snick-
er. while DR.. Savage became red in the face.
He baptized the young namesake of the great
engineer soldier, and went on with the cere-
mony. Name this one, he gasped, reaching
for fhe third. Albert Sidney Johnston
came the answer The smile became audi
bic, and the preacher apoplectic. Heaving a
sigh of relief, he took the fourth child a lit
tie girl. whose gender he fondly supposed
would preclude continuation Of heroic re~
production, and said; Name this child"
Mary Stonewal Jackson Lee" came the
response that set the congregation in a roar
while the Union parson thought he had held
in his arms the whole Southern Confederacy.

"Lust Like HARRISON. ;,

test 10 the legislation of the extra session.
he doubts whether congress will repeal the

II Is different congress. Between Cleve-

not have missed seeing that the 100000 vo-

Into the Richmond Terminal Plan.

According to the New York Sun, the
decision of Justice jackson restoring to
the Richmond Terminal the control of the
1900 shares Of the Central railroad held
by that company, gives great satisfac-
ton to New York capitalists. In the
course of an article on the decision the
Sun says The decision restores to the
majority stock of the Georgia Central
Company its voting power. which Justice
jackson decides was wrongfully taken
from it by the lower court. This not
only enhances the value of the Rich
mond Terminal collateral per cent
bonds, which are secured in part by the
DISTINGUISHED Georgia Central stock, but
moro important than this, it restores to
the Richmond Terminal Company prop
erty which it acquired at great cost, and
il will without doubt, eventually bring the
1000 miles of railroad composing the
Georgia Central system under the plan
for recognizing the Richmond Terminal
system, Finally the decision is a dcci-
siye and well-merited rebuke to the
agrariau or anti-corporation party, which
has threatened investments in Georgia
and also impaired the credit Of the state
itself"
We do not know that there is any anti
corporation party in Georgia that insisted
that the $4,000 shares of the Central held
by the Richmond Terminal should be de-
prived of their voting power In dis
franchising the $4,000 shares Judges
Pardee and Speer construed the coustitu-
ton as they understood it. They were
not controlled in the least by any outside
influence. Judge Speer still maintains
that his decision is right, although it has
been set aside.
The Sun may be right in saying that
the effect of the decision is to give the
Richmond Terminal control of the reor-
ganizatton Of the Central. In that ease
the purpose of the Terminal becomes of
the greatest interest to Savannah. II is
known that the Central, when managed
by the Richmond and Danville, was not op-
Grated in Savannah's interests. The re
organized Richmond Terminal NAV,
however, takea more liberal view of the
situation and decide to make the most of
Ccntral's magnificent terminal facili-
ties But, however, as neither the Rich
mond Terminal people nor the senior Sc
curity-holders have given any intima-
ton of their purpose, nothing definite as
to the future of the Central can be
stated.

Vote To-Day.

The issue presented to the voters Of
, Chatham county to-day is a very impor-
tant one 1t is so important that no one
of them can afford to remain away from
the polls. The county engineer says that
it is practically impossible to give the
county a system of drainage as long as
stock is permitted to run at large. AS
fast as the drains are opened they be-
come choked by soil pushed into them by
cattle endeavoring to cross them or get
water from them
The health of the county is a matter of
the highest consideration The county
can be made healthy only by draining it
thoroughly, and to drain it thoroughly it
is necessary that cattle shall be fenced in.
Do the people of this city and county
intend that the drainage work shall be
defeated in order that few people may
have the privilege of allowing their stock
to run at large2 If not then let them go
to the polls to-day and vote for the mo
fence" law.
Make it obligatory to fence in stock
and in very few years the drainage will
be completed, tho health conditions will
be as good as could be desired, and all
the arabic land will be under cultivation.
With so much to be gained, how can any
well wisher of the country fail to take
the time and trouble to-day to vote for a
law upon which all these things depend

In an interview, published IN the MORN
ING News yesterday, Senator John Sher-
man made this statement: "Many
newspapers seem to forget that
for the bullion from which current silver
dollars were coined the government paid
only the market price in gold at the date
of purchase. So that these silver dollars
coined under the Sherman act, stand real
ly on gold basis, and the government
can redeem them all intgold now with a
loss of only about $, 100000" The Sena-
tor was referring to the 5000O,090 of
coined silver dollars now in the treasury.
According to his own statement the gov
crnment is out s., OOO,0 600 for the purpose
of assisting Benjamin Harrison's personal
ambition. But it appears that there is
wide discrepancy somewhere between
Senator Sherman's figures and the Off
cial figures Of the treasury department
On last Friday statement prepared at
the treasury department showed that
since the passage of the Sherman act UP
to that date, the end of the
fiscal year, the government had pur-
chased l56.66459O fine ounces of silver.
This amount of silver cost the government
Sl47 1876, 315 at the current prices. At the
price of silver on Friday, about 81 cents
per fine ounce, the amount of the white
metal purchased under the Sherman law
would be worth S92, 1872. 0l6 showing a loss
of about 5000, 600 Whatever may be
| done to maintain the parity of the gold
/ and silver dollars, the fact remains that
| at the end of the last fiscal year the gov
erument had paid out for the protection
| of Gen. Harrison and the silver mine own
! ers $55, 600 600 more than it could have got
! back for the silver purchased.
