The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1894-08-10

The currency, consisting OF checks
and bills of exchange, amounting to
95 per cent. of our entire currency,
would GO ont of use in consequence Of
loss of confidence and credit, and the
result would be the withdrawal Of 973
per cent. of our entire currency and
the paralysis OF business would imme-
diately follow. Banks would be
raided by their depositors.
Creditors would seek to enforce
their debts before the reduction Of
the standard to the silver basis. No
extension Of debts would be given to
anybody, except where payable in
gold at increasing rates OF interest.
Long time debts are in gold. The
amount to be paid on them would not
be reduced. Indebtedness not pay
able in gold would be collected at
once or the property owned by the
debtors taken from them. Merchants
would fail, workmen be idle, farm
products without market, and pow
erty and distress found on all sides.
do not believe that President
would ever approve such legislation,
elected upon platform with q Con-
gress pledged to pass it. The calam-
itous effects following such an election
would bring to them the prayers of
the very men who elected them, ap-
pealing for the defeat of such legisla-
ton. But if such law should pass it |
would not be until the later part of |
1897. Then general adjustment to |
the new standard would be necessary. |
Prices being temporarily reduced on
account of the panic, it would be
some months before the actual effect
could be told and the real value of
4123 grains of silver determined.
During this time business would stag
nate on account of the uncertainty as
to what was the real size Of the new
measure-the new standard OF value.
This trouble would more or less affect
business permanently, because the
commercial value of silver bullion has
become uncertain; has ceased to be
stationary, on account of the few
countries now using it as standard
money, on account of the uncertainty
IS to the volume of its probable pro.
duction.
No practical benefits can be pointed
out as a consequence of the legisla-
lion. 1t would interfere with our ex-
changes in foreign trade, and prove
The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1894-08-10

There is very widespread belief
that even in the South free silver is
losing ground at this very moment !;
that the tide has reached its highest
and the food is now receding. M
merous newspapers that until recently
have been non-committal or lukevarm
in their support of silver have come
out for sound currency and an or
ganized and successful effort is being
made to resist the efforts OF the is to
J forces to turn over the solid South
to the buliionaires. This looks as If

claim that the removal of this one is
to remove the effect of all the others.
But it is urged that the United
States should try the experiment. and,
if it failed, then abandon it, or change
the ratio. The facts stated show con-
ciusively in advance that it must fail.
To lift the value of 4123 grains of sill
yer in the United States from 50 to
100 cents it would be necessary to lift
the value of all the silver in the world
to the same extent, less the cost of
transporting it to the United States.
That volume to-day, coined, is 81
O51, 700, 900. If the burden were only
to raise the commercial value of
the coined silver, in those coun.
tries where it was dropped, to bullion
value, the undertaking would still bs
clearly impossible. India has $3.50, OOO,-
600 China, 1850, coo, 900; Japan, s72,-
600, 900; Mexico, $50, 600, 900; South
American States, $4,000, 900. A to-
tai Of 81, $50, 900, 900 is used by these
countries alone. This silver, though
coined. circulates only at its bullion
value. In addition to this, can the
silver mines afford to continue in
creasing their production, as they
have, from S81, 100000 in 1873, to
$214, 4S1, 900 in 1890 on market
which has risen 100 per cent? The
volume to be raised in value extends
to the earth deposits as well as to that
heretofore mined.
We were unable to keep the value
of silver up to gold under the Free
Coinage act of 1892. We were un-
able to keep gold up to silver under
the Free Coinageact of 1884. France
and her associates in the Latin Union
found themselves unable to keep sill
yer up to gold in 1874. The failure
OF these practical tests, under far
more favorable circumstances than
those of the present, demonstratedh how
how ridiculous is the claim of the sill
yer advocates.
These facts, fairly considered by
any one, will bring the conclusion that
free coinage at 16 to means the use
of no coin but silver means new
standard of measure equal in value to
the present commercial value of the
bullion now put into silver dollar;
means new dollar worth only ap-
proximately half as much as the pres
ent dollar, and the measure of all
values by this new standard.
The immediate effect of the election
of President committed to such a
policy would be the separation of the
gold and silver dollar, the gold dollar
going topremium of about two for one.
We would lose at once 1878, 900, 900
of gold now in circulation and now in
The Treasury. The greenbacks and
Treasury notes-S375, 200, 000-which
would still remain outstanding, would
be boarded, in the hope that a free
silver bill, if passed at all, would be
soon repealed. This would take place

The moment before the shooting Miss

looking out into Nassau street, the one
who shot her could easily have taken

This is the only plausible reasonable
situation which accords with all the
facts heretofore stated. There was no
struggle-no cry from the lips of the

that. The shot was fired the instant

The POLLARD SUIT.
Reading of Dispositions Resumed
at This Mornings Session.
Sister Augustine Disputes the
"Louise Wilson" Story.
She, Like Sister Agnes, Failed to
Recognize the Plaintiff.

By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON. March 22.-The read
ing OF dispositions was taken up again
this morning. when the court met, in
the Pollard case, to the regret of many
spectators who had assembled with the
expectation that Representative Breck-
inridge would tell his story. Madeline
Pollard was seated beside her lawyer.
Judge Wilson, talking to him with a
smile playing across her face. and once
as she talked she glanced over her
shoulder at the white-haired defendant.
Before Attorney Stoll had proceeded far
with his elocwtionary efforts Miss Pol

from the room, interrupting for a mo-

There was a rather unusual Incident
when Mr.. Stoll read out the name of
this young woman, who had claimed TO
be from a Northern State, then apollo
gized and explained to the Court htat
the sister had only given the name
under the condition that II was to be
kept secret and not to be repeated.
This sister had been present at the in
terview in the convent between Miss Pol

and Sister Agnes. whose deposition had
been read yesterday. Sister Augustine
also failed to recognize Miss Pollard. Her

Of her motive for bringing the suit was

admittance to the asylum. the birth OF
the child and her departure. The name
of the child on the record was NJ. Ger

objection OF the sister, Miss Burgoyne
had visited the convent twice after the
child was born.
