THE BUSINESS MEN SPEAK.
August &c, 1898.

AS will be seen from the resolu-
tlons published in another column
Of The ARGUS this morning, a con-
vention of representatives of business
organizations, composed of 100 deles
gates from twenty-one States and
presided over by Ex- Governor STAN
nard, of Missouri, was held in Wash
ington on Tuesday, at which a Sc
ries of resolutions calling upon Con-
gress to repeal the silver purchase
aw was passed by the practically
unanimous vote of 165 to 2. The
large number of States represented
and the unanimity Of sentiment pre-
vaiing preclude the charge that the
convention was an assemblage OF
Wall street gold bugs, or that its de-
mands were dictated ty the moneS
tary interest of New York or any
commercial metropolis.
Assuming that the Senators now
discussing the bill to repeal the slls
yer purchase clause of the Sherman
law are anxious to represent their
constituents, it becomes Of moment
for the forty-two Senators represent
ing the twentysone States sharing IN
the convention to ascertain if poso
sible whether the members forming g
the convention really represent the
prevailing business sentiment OF
their several States. If Ex~Gov-
ernor Stannard told the truth in his
assertion that the business men,
farmers and mechanics of the West
have become convinced in the last
two months that the National
Government has been purchasing
too much silver, 1t is time for a
change of front on the part of sew
eral Western Senators.
It will be far better for the Sena~
tors to investigate than to treat
those resolutions with sneer. The
business stagnation and low prices
have affected the farmers of the
West quite as disastrously as the
merchants of the East. If the con-
tinued purchase of cheap silver has
contributed to their loss they have
learned it by this time. There is
no sentiment or nonsense about the
man whose income has been affected
by mistaken monetary policy. Ex-
Governor Stannard and his business
associates are nearer to the people
who have their living to make thar
the Senators who are making long
winded silver speeches in Washing
ton and are likely to represent then
more accurately.

TIE MONEY OF TIE DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM.


"What is it?' asks the Atlanta
Journal, Gold, silver and paper.
Gold and silver to be kept on a par
ity with each other. All paper ours
rency is to be kept at par with ard
rsleemab!e in coin. The Democratic
party has pledged its faith to secure
to The people circulating medium
which shall always be sound and
uniform, and that the State banks
shall no longer be deprived by the
ten per cent. tax Of the power to- Is
sue their notes. The platform is
clearly aud explicitly in favor Of q
currency which shall be uniform as
Well as sound.
1t now becomes the solemn duty
Of the Federal government. which IS
Democratic in every branch, to res
deem the pledges Of the Democratic
party. We are confident that the
interests of the people will be
protected and that they viii have
a currency which will issue ia
response to the demands of every
section, with nc restrictions except
those which will enable the Federal
government to carry ont the pledge
of the platform, that gold ana silver
shall he kept On a parity with each
other, and all paper currency ut Par
with and redeemable III coil.
This power to keep the people :
sley sound at all times is Il pow er
which only the f.leral government
can exercise. It's a power which,
under the Democratic platform, can~
not be delegated to fortyfour seperate
and sovereign powers. The plat
form declares that the ten per cent
tax on State bank issues shall be re-
pealed, but it must 10 repealed cniy
when the federal government can
provide such regulations governing
any issues at par; with and redeem'
able in coin. We believe that this
administration will allow State
banks to issue notes ito circulate as
money, when a system Us determined
on which viii guarntee to the people
the money called for il the Demo-
CRATIC platform, and whioh' shall be
good in any State.

Suicide is Confession.

Pittsburg paper calls for an
investigation OF the case Of DR.,
Graves, who recently committed
suicide. DR.. Graves had been con
yicted of murder, after long trial,
and obtained a new trial again and
LEFT letter insisting upon his limos
cence. He charged that uninst
methods had been Lsed to obtain
his conviction. Ii this letter he
was especially bitter upon District
Attorney Stevens.
He is not the fret convicted murr
derer who has made such charges
against his prosecutors. It is in
he usual iiEe Of auca ut,erances
nat he should declare that, for
reasons of political ambition, a
court was corrup pted; jaries su-
borned and witnesses subverted.
Mr.. Marvin, who recently occa pied
the Virginia penitentiary. had
something of that kind to se3 in a
speech in which he plead guilty to
the charges against him.
Daniel Webster said of sus-
pect, "Suicide is Confession 1t
can scarcely be expected tina: q
man who is innocent of a cri.ae
and has gotten new trial from
higher court will kill himself If he
knows lie is innocent. Daniel
Webster was right-s'tuicide is
confession"

THE heaven HERE.
Atlanta Journal.

Oh! may be clear and constant light,
To cheer some fellow tfav'ler on life's
way,
Hum his path and flash some rays afar
That give him glimpses of the golden
heights,
And make more real that bright heaven
beyond,
So would the way be beautiful to him
And doubts which long had vexed his
soul be lost
In thoughts of immortality.
Oh! could
I with the music of noble life,
Make endless melody in other hearts
Breathe loves sweet message to the cap
tive lone
Who pines in darkness, shut from hope
and home,
In his enctantment he would soon for
get
The chains which bind him there, and
learn to sing
The song OF freedom in the dungeon's s
thrall.
So living, I would be in heaven here
Would walk with joy the golden streets
of time,
And dying, find brighter heaven there
With streets Of purer gold.

THE T3EFT Of TIME.

We were old cronies, Time and L
/ counted him as 3 DEATH s. frl' nd
For he gave me a love as the days went
by,
So rare aud fair, II seems to send
The soul away on an GRAND OF DilS9
To where the regions of raptare oe'
But grew OLDER, ana, seeing thlS'
Time took my love away from me
She loved me well in the days gone o5'
Loved so well that cur earthly path
Passed 50 near to the gates of the sky
That we felt the joy each angel hath
She was sorry and SO was L
Sad as the hearts OF he younz can
v hen we found that Time was stealing
by
Anl taking MY love away from me.
And Time las tried, with lavlsh h&ho'
To win me back with gifts OF goid
And smiling acres Of meadow-land
And tie wi;cting ways Of the Gays q
The bloom of health and mems ap-
plause-
All this he has given me bountiiu2ly.
But Time is never my friend, because
Re has taken my love away from me.

MY KING.

You are all that have to live for
All that I want to love,
All that the whole world holds for me
OFFS faith in the world above!
You come-and it seemed too mighty
For my humble heart to hold;
1t seemed, in its sacred glory,
Like glimpse through the Gate OF
Gold,
Like life in the perennial Eden,
Created, formed anew
This dream of perfect manhood
That realize in you.
God created me a woman,
With nature just as true
AS the blue, eternal ocean
AS the sky that is over you.
And you are mine until your Maker
calls you
Your soul and your body, Sweet!
Your breath, and the whole of your be-
ing,
From your kingly head to your feet
Your eyes, anS the light that is in them
Your lips, with their maddening wine,
Your arms. with their passionote clasp
my king
Your body and soul are mine.
No power, whatsoever,
No will but Gods alone,
Can take you from my keeping;
You are His and mine alone!
know not where, if ever
l know not when or how
Deaths hands may try the fetters
That bind US here aud now;
But some day, when God beckons,
Where rise His 1ronded palms,
My soul shall cross the River
And lay you in His arms;
Forever and forever, beyond the Silen
Sea,
You will rest in the Arms Eternal,
| And still belong to me.
