SINCE the repeal of the Sherman
law, it has been by no means an un-
frequent occurrence to hear from
those who, in their estimation, are
the Solomons of the present period,
that the repeal of that law pre-
vents the coming of another silver
dollar until law is pas
sed by Congress authorizing the
coinage of that metal. The dispatch
es, which we reproduce in this is
sue, one from Washington and the
other from San Francisco, may not
have the effect of convincing the
know-alls that their knowledge,
upon the financial question especial
ly, is in the least degree limited,
but the people will doubtless realize
that the self-constituted advisers,
and the infoFmapts know as much
about the financial question as the
human race does about the time
when the world will come to an end.
1t will be seen that both gold and
silver is to be coined, and that the
estimated increase to the volume of
the currency will be So, 200, 900 by
the first of next month. Instead of
President Cleveland being a gold
bug and a contractionist, as his &C
cusers have asserted, he is a friend
to both metals and an advocate of
an increase in the volume of the
currency when il can be done with
out depreciating the purchasing
power of either metal. Indeed, he
has proven himself more of friend
to silver than those who favor its
coinage in such quantities as would
inevitably debase the purchasing
power of the metal, and contract
the currency by driving gold out of
circulation. The President favors
an increase of the currency, and
for that reason objects TO silver be-
ing coined to an extent that would
cause a disparity between the two
metals. He also knew that silver
could be coined, although the Sher-
man law has been repealed, while
those who so knowingly differ with
him were not aware that it could be
done. Who then are the safest adj
visers?

THE government, or in other
words the people of the United
States, were forced under the Sher-
man law to purchase from the own
ers of silver mines $500, 600 ounces
Of silver monthly, and we have seen
it estimated that it will take about
FIVE or six years for the minis to
coin the bullion already purchased.
1t would therefore be worse than
folly for law to be passed allowing
the princely mine owners to bring in
their bullion and have 1t coined be-
fore the coinage of that which be-
longs to the people. Prior to 1873
there had only been between eight
and nine million dollars of silver
coined and the reason why there has
been more than seventy times as
much since 1873 than prior to that
date is because the price of silver
has deprecated to such an extent as
to make it more profitable to have 1t
coined at I6 to l than to dispose of
it at its commercial value, whereas,
prior to 1878 its commercial value
was greater than the standard of
value-the gold dollar. If the COM
mercial value Of the silver was great
er than the standard value, the own
ers of silver mines would have no
more coined than the amount which
they would be unable to dispose of
at its market price, or commercial
value. 1t Is therefore evident that
those who are advocating the coin
age of silver at 16 to are endeavor-
ing TO add to the millions of those
who own silver mines, and depreci-
ate the currency by having more
silver dollars coined, which are now
kept at par with gold, not because
of their intrinsic or commercial val
ne, but on account of the govern.
ment's ability. But the government
is the people and if the volume OF
the silver dollars is increased to such
an extent as will overtax the ability
of the government to keep the sill.
yer dollar at par, then it will fall
to its real commercial value or from
$I.OO to 49t cents. Gold then
would be Withdrawn from circulation
and as a consequence, the volume of
the currency would be contracted.

to the later advices, proved to be
invalid. Additional instructions
continued to follow SO frequently
that it was impossible to tell how
the ticket should be printed. The
State Committee, becoming convin-
ced that it had made clumsy per-
Torrance in sending out so many
different instructions, and desiring

man Carroll came out in an article
in the Nashville Daily American

fair. The county committees are
innocent. They simply obeyed in

alone responsible.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND s
letter to Hon. VIM. Wilson
urging that tariff bill
be passed in accordance with
the democratic principles has
caused conservation in the
senate. The letter is one of
the President S characteristic
documents, written in his
usual vigorous style and I'M
mercifully attacks the Cor
man, Brice, Smith and Pugh
combine, who have been so
indefatigable in their efforts
to prevent the passage of a
bill that would be a fulfill
ment of the democratic pledg-
es. Smarting under the adj
ministration lash, Senator
German severely criticised
the President for invading
the sanctity of senatorial cour-
tesy. But his parading be-
fore the public the wonders
accomplished by himselfand
others in behalf of Mr..
Cleveland, and his egotistical
belief that to him, Brice,
Smith and Ransom, the dem
ocratic party is indebted for
the victory won will not serve
to shield him from condemna-
ton for the part he has ia
ken in thwarting the dem
ocratic party in passing a tar
iff bill for revenue only. The
President is Endorsed by the
democratic rank and file in
his effort to have bill pas
sed that will in no wise be a
surrendering of democratic
principles.

Josiah Patterson.

Congressman Josiah Patterson,
the brainy member of Congress,
from the Tenth District, has the
sympathy of the democracy of Hay
wood county IN his race for re-elec-
ton. A big effort will be made to
defeat him, but we are of the opin-
ion that the democrats of the Tenth
will see the necessity of returning
him to Congress and vote for him in
the primary. He is easily the brains
of the delegation in Congress, and
it would be a calamity to the State
to defeat him. If there is anything
he wants in Haywood County all he
has to do is to ask for it.-Browns-
vile States-Democrat.

AS the republicans of this county
have refused to fuse with the popu-
lites as to county offices, will the
populites now vote for the republi-
can nominees for supreme court
judges and chancellor? Four of the
nominees for the Supreme Bench
make no pretentions towards being
pOpulites, and the candidate for
chancellor is a republican and was
nominated for chancellor by a re-
publican convention. He has writ
ten several personal letters to popu-
lites in this county. But as the re-

That the enemies of democ-

to every close observer of the

long delay in disposing of

the following letter, which
has accidently fallen into

MAKING ADVERSELY SWEET.

There is some amusement, even in
this depressing time. in watching the
way the average Democrat, wiggles and
wobbles and worms to get out of the
hole.
It is true that no Democrat except
those who are running for office tries
very hard to explain, because man
can say many things in speech which
would not sound well in a converse
tonal argument.
One idea particularly is used by the
Democrats to enable them to wiggle out.
1t is the declaration that these hard
times are mighty good for the good peo-
pie because it Is curing them of luxur-
iouS habits.
This is the cue taken by Colonel Will
lam NJ. SingerIy, Democratic candidate
for governor of Pennsylvania. He says:
Strikes and shrinkage of business have
cut down iron production for the year
about 40 per cent as compared with the
previous year. Bank exchanges have been
reduced 80 per cent. Speculation has
withered. Output has been adjusted Co
lessened demand. But the general solidity
OF business has been attested by the alb
sence OF panic. We have bought SIS, 419, 769
less of jewelry, silks and wines; y, 100000
less of furs; 5000 600 less of fruits and
nuts; 81. 500, 600 less of tobacco; $, 000 0G0
less of china and earthenware. There has
also been "A decrease Of $50, 565, 907 in the
imports OF wool aud woolens.
"All this goes to show that there has
been a great saving effected in the con-
sumption of luxuries. The delay in the
passage of a tariff act, while it has largely
diminished active business, has led to the
close consumption of stocks on hand. We
have been wearing cut our old clothing IN
stead of buying new ones. Such economies
have induced a conservation or force.
When business shall start again ii is likely
to start with a sudden momentum which
will surprise the prophet of disaster. Peo-
pie are never Tnined by what they have
failed to spend"
This sounds very sweet. But what
does it offer, either consolation or hope,
TO business men who have already col
lapsed? They have been ruined by Dem
ocratic economical laundering. The
panic has come to them and they are
flat. They were wrecked by the Demo-
cratic party, and the industries which
they sustained have been wrecked with
