ter pleaded with the republicans upon
patriotic grounds to vote for the repeal
OF the tax law, asserting that with the
accomplishment of that purpose would

much in voting for this bill as does the
gentleman from Missouri. A candidate

plause. The moment he votes for this
bill his platform disappears from beneath

FIGHT OF THE RAILROADS.
An Order Issued for the Protection of
the Western LINES.

the Western Linss.
Atlanta, Ca, June 5.-Commissioner
Stahlman, of the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association, has issued a cir
cular to the roads of the association for
the purpose of protecting the western
lines in view of the recent slash in east
ern rates. The circular reads: "Please
specifically instruct your agents at once
that the reduced rates on
first class to class A. in
elusive, between eastern points and the
association territory effective June /,
shall not apply to classes B, @, d, Fl or
f, nor shall they apply TO hay, straw or
tiaXseed meal in less than car lots, nor on
beer or cereals in car load quantities, nor
on whisky shipped without valuation, nor
on other articles which take the lettered
classes above named in car load quanti-
ties which are classified in the numbered
class when shipped in less than car load
quantities. On all the classes of articles
above referred to the rates in effect prior
to June 2. shall govern all eastern lines. "
Last week representatives from the
western lines which are members of the
Southern Railway and Steamship Asso-
citation met with Commissioner Stahlman
so that some plan might be discussed by
which, in view of the vast reduction in
rates, they could be protected.
The reduction of two-thirds in
eastern freight rates which Maj Stahl-
man announced TO take effect June 2.
vitally affected the eastern lines in so
much that western products stored in
New York city could be shipped south
under the new rates not applied 60 west
ern lines, and this seriously affected their
business, since they were not allowed by
Al a lrn a
tion. This circular to-day was the result
of the conference between the western
lines and commissioner and is understood
to be satisfactory.

ing, but the men are as determined as
ever that no coal trains will be hauled.
Over 1900 cars of Monongahela county
coal are blocked in the Benwood and Nc
Mechen yards on account of the Cleve-

Der Of miners are congregated there TO-
day and Sheriff Scott is now on the scene.
The 1000 miners in Belmont county

ers for the Central railroad, to abolish
Wadley as the terminal for freight trains

Yesterday in the United States circuit

posed the petition on the ground that a
continuous run from Macon TO savannah
eptailed too much labor on the train
crews. The receivers contended that by
running through trains to savannah
would save large sum OF money, as u
would greatly lessen the number OF em-
ployes. The decision rendered to-day

Through without Them.

Through without Them.
Washington, June 5.--It is stated that
the administration has concluded not to
issue any more bonds to recoup the gold
reserve, even if this reserve should fall
many million dollors below its present
figure-S74 O00,O coo. This announcement
was semi-oficially made to-day. At
the close of to-day's busl-
ness, including the $74 O0O. 900
gold reserve, the treasury's stated
net balance was SIG, ,239. This gives
a working currency balance Of $40, 1000 600.
and oven should the excess of expendi-
lures over receipts continue, the net bal
ance will hardly fall below S95, coo, 600
before Aug. /, by which time hopes are
entertained that the tariff uncertainty
will have been removed as a factor in
making calculations for the future on
the treasury finances. Those famil-
lar with the effect Of tariff
legislation on government finances,
do not anticipate any pronounced
effect for six months after the bill goes
into effect. but do believe that halt will
be called TO such heavy decline in re-
ceipts as compared with last year. The
most pesslmistic do not believe, with all
the chances against the treasury, that the
net balance by Oct. ! next will have de-
clined to. SO, 100000 It was at this
point when the last bond issue was
made.

Demand Makes Value.

We presume that no bimetallist
ever contended that the Government
could create values. But the Gov
eminent can and docs create the
thing we call money, and it can and
does regulate the value Of money
when it established ratio between
two metals. The Government goes
farther than this. BY creating mon
ey out OF gold and silver, it creates
demand for these metals for money
purposes, and this demand imparts
to them the greater part Of the value
they possess. The de mand for mon
ey is always constant. 1t is equal TO
the combined demand for all other
exchangeable articles. When, there.
fore, Government creates money out
Of silver the demand for that metal
for money purposes imparts to it
new and an increased value. This is
the answer to those who say that the
valueof the silver in dollar does
not represent dollars worth Of la
Dor, as does dollar in gold. And it
is a complete answer. Those who
deny it must first prove that the law
of supply and demand does not oper-
