One siIverIte Answer. Another.

We find the following remarkable state
ment In the Augusta Chronicle:
Never I'm the history Of the country were
wages as low as they are now in the south.
Five dollars month and rations for able
bodied farm hands do no. sustain the as
sertions Of the gold standard men that
wages are nov ruling al high water mark.
WIN the Chronicle show by figures that
wages are lower in the south now than
ever before? II Il cannot 10 this on what
does IL base its assertf0n2 II We are to get
AZ the truth we must have some facts. We
might say that wages in the south are
twice as high now as they ever were be-
fore. but the Chronicle would not accept
our bold assertion. il would call for facts.
So we ask for facts. We want some au-
tnority for what it says. VIII the Chroni-
Gle give us the average wages in the Au-
gusta cotton mills since 1850. the average
wages OF day laborer in Augusta for the
last forty years and the average wages Of
a farm laborer throughout the south dur
ing the same period. keeping IN mind the
purchasing power of dollar throughout
the period? The Chronicle ought to be
willins-to do this since it has made an as
sertion that is likely 10 arrest attention.
II certainly doesn't want to occupy the
position OF making an assertion for which
it hasn't satisfactory authority.
From the Chronicles reference to the
gold standard men it evidently believes
that If this were a silver standard coun-
try wages would be better. Does it really

lower in silver STANDARD countries than in
this country? The Atlanta Constitution.
which is also a silverlte organ, answers
this question. II says: In the countries
that use silver the labor market is over
crowded. Wages are controlled in those
countries. as everywhere else. by the sup
ply of labor-by the number Of persons who
are seeking and must have work in order
to live" Here we have confession from
a silverite organ that wages are controlled
by the supply of labor. If It be true,
therefore as the Chronicle says. that
wages in the south are unprecedently low.
is it not because the supply OF labor is
greater than the demand. and not because
we have the gold standard? II the Chron-
iele does not agree that this is the cause
OF the low wages in the south. of which
it complains. viii it state why it takes is
sue with its esteemed silverte contem-
porary, the Constitution? And If wages
are SO low now why does it want
to make them lower by making them
payable in a silver currency that would
have only half the purchasing power the

Help the Military.

There isn't one OF our business men who
doesn't know that our military organiza-
tions are OF the greatest benefit 70 this
city, and there ISN'T one Of them who
would vote 70 have them disbanded II the
opportunity 10 do SO should be presented.
But we cannot have the military organiza-
tions without making some sacrifices in
their behalf. II we have military organiza-
tons they must be In the service Of the
state. and being in the service OF the state
they must comply with the militia regula-
tions. one of these regulations is that the
military organizations shall have the ad-
vantages OF camp life and service for a
brief period each year. Each year the or
ganizations have trouble in getting the
necessary complement Of men. This should
not be the case. Employers should make
sacrifices in order TO let Off those Of their
employees who belong TO military compan-
les for the short time an encampment oc-
cupies.
Some OF those who are the most posi-
tive in refusing TO give their employees the
necessary leave Of absence are the ones
who would call most loudly for the assist
ance of the militia if their interests were
mcnaced by mob violence. And that the
militia exert a most healthful influence in
preserving order in this city has been dem
onsuatcd more than once.
There is hardly an employer who could
not get along without the services of one
or more Of his employees for the few days
an encampment lasts. and therefore. there
should be no hesitation in doing all it is
possible TO do to assist the military organi-
cations in making as good a showing as
possible at the encampment. The idea that
some have that the encampment is an oc-
casion for a grand frolic is a mistaken one.
The soldiers are kept hard at work from
the time they enter camp until they leave
it, and the training they get there not only
makes them better soldiers, but also makes
them better and more willing employees.

the hostess had hired a hand-organ man
to grind out his tunes in the parlor, ana
when the young woman with the bleached

music hall tune; And Her Golden H1ir

constrained to stop the organ. The gold

aforethought, she AYERS, and will brook
no contradiction. She still gets the laugh
from those who know the story.

1t is becoming more and more appar-
ent each day that this loudly proclaimed
statement that the democrats of the south
limited coinage Of silver at 16 to l, at all

is not correct, and that those who are

by Kentucky democrats is a pointer which
the free silver politicians in that state
are not making light of. and which the
free silver advocates IN the southern
states cannot make sport of and cannot
counterfeit by attempted ridicule and de-
nunciation.

There Was a Sensation.

The minister who delivered the prayer at
the opening of the convention of the sill
verbugs at Memphis created genuine SEN
sation by imploring divine guidance for
the delegates and hoping they might be
led Into adopting honest money as their
platform" 1t must have indeed startled
the silver mine owners and politicians who
are doing their utmost to lead the people
astray on the money question y hear in
convention of their own prayer for "hon-
est money" We are not surprised at all
that the delegates would not be satisfied
until IT was explained to them that the
minister making the prayer meant silver
money. 1t IS apparent that they do not re-
gard silver money as honest money, and
that gold, and silver on parity with gold,
are alone associated in their minds with
honest money" The prayer betrayed them
into an expression of their real sentiments
that is, that the silver money they are
clamoring for is not honest money" If
they regarded that kind of money as "hon-
est money they would not have been sur
prised and astounded when the minister
they had chosen to open their convention
plead that they might be led to adopt an
honest money platform. Their guilty
consciences betrayed them.

The action Of the bondholders of the sa-
vannah and Western railroad in refusing
to accept the terms of the Georgia Cen
differentiation plan gives color to the
rumor that that road is to be consolidated
with the Savannah. Americas and Mont
gomery railroad and that the consolida-
ted roads will have their terminal at sa-
vannah. The union of these two roads
would give Savannah the benefit of an
other railroad system that would cover
large amount Of territory In Georgia and
Alabama.
The Savannah and Western ought to
have no great difficulty in getting into Sa-
vannah, or about terminal facilities in this
city. as 1t has the title to the Savannah
and Ogeechee canal, and might use the
banks of the canal for it's right OF way,
and connect with the River Street rail-
road, which rs also covered by it's bonds,
thus giving it the entire city water front
for terminal purposes.
The Savannah, Americas and Montgom-
cry railroad has bought the control of the
Columbus Southern, the Georgia Midland
and several other short lines, which, with
its present main line from Montgomery,
Ala, to Lyons. Ga. would be valuable
auxiliary to the Savannah and Western.

bination, II effected, would be helpful to
Savannah. Every railroad that makes

people will be silver-its value determined
