The Presidents sound money letter does
not give the republicans unalloyed salts
faction They pretend to see in It a pur-
pose on his part TO make himself the
logical candidate Of the sound money
people for President in 1896. Therefore
some OF their organs are industriousIy
engaged in endeavoring to belittle him as
stateman. and TO make It appear that
his letter is a weak production They are
not willing to give him credit for disin-
terested motives and a sincere purpose to
do what he believes to be for the best
interests of the country.
It is doubtful II the President has any
intention whatever Of trying to so shape
public sentiment as TO bring himself into
prominence as candidate for another
presidential term. Nobody OF course
is authorized to speak for him.
but from some OF the utter
ances attributed TO him. It is entirely
safe to say that he is not thinking Of an
other term and doesn't desire to be a
presidential candidate again.
Last July when the whole country was
fearful that the railroad riot at Chicago
would result in an open defiance of the
authority OF the government. he acted with
promptness and vigor. The riot was
checked and order restored. His courage
and wisdom in that affair strengthened
his hold upon the people. What he did,
however. was not for the purpose OF in
creasing his popularity. but for the good
of the country. His object in writing his
celebrated tariff reform message, which
gave new life and strength to his party,
was to bring about a reform in which he
believed. and not to advance his own
political fortunes. Ills recent letter in
support of sound money is having the
effect Of crystallizing the sound money
sentiment of the country. 1t was the
opening gun, as it were. of the campaign
in behalf Of sound money. 1t wasn't writ
ten with the hope that IT would make its
author a candidate for third term.
1t is quite safe to say that Mr.. Cleveland
will not be a candidate for the presidency
again. The republican papers are vast
ing their time in attacking him and trying
to show his unfitness for the presidency
The people have twice shown their con-
hdence in him by making him President
and he has served them faithfully and
with conspicuous ability. He is not
scheming for a third term.

our Assistance Asked.

Whenever a Central or South American
state gets into trouble with a European
power it begins to talk about the Monroe
doctrine and expects the United States to
enforce it. The Monroe doctrine has
particular charm for those states. They
are ever ready to call upon us TO get them
out Of trouble but they make no effort
to give us their trade. They want to use
us, but not to favor us. Why then should
we get ourselves into trouble by lending
them helping hand unless it becomes
our interest to do so?
Venezuela is begging us TO check Eng
fish aggression upon her territory. She
says she is in danger of losing the
control of her greatest river Nicaragua
is endeavoring to force us to interfere and
protect her against England's demand for
indemnity for some one of her unlawful
acts. We should interfere in both cases
provided it is our interest to do so. but
we are under no obligation to do so from
the standpoint of friendship We must
be the judge as to when it is for our in
terest to enforce the Monroe doctrine
Otherwise the Central and South American
states. confident of our support. would
be all the time doing something calculated
to get them into trouble with European
governments

Northen's COLONIZATION scheme.

When ex-Gov. Northen established his
immigration bureau no one thought he
would make such an extraordinary sue
cess of it. Our Atlanta dispatches yes
terday stated that he had closed a CON
tract for the sale of 1OO,O 900 acres in South
ern Georgia to the Soldiers Colony Com
pany and that between now and next
September this land will be occupied by
1900 immigrants.
These immigrants are not foreigners.
They are Americans and have money with
which to clear the land they have pur-
chased. and to build good houses, estab-
fish stores, and small manufacturing in
dustries. They are an extremely desirable
class of immigrants. They will be on
the side of law and order, and will erect
churches and school houses. They Will
make good citizens and will join heartily
in every effort to build up the country
and promote its prosperity. They are
thrifty people. and within a very few
years the section of the state in which
they have decided to make their homes
VIII De uOlNeu WITH NdiuaDle FARMS, thriV-
ing villages and comfortable houses in
which there will be peace, plenty and
happiness.
They are but the vanguard of a vast
army of immigrants that will come to
the south within the next few years
from the west and east. And Georgia
will get her full share of them. Indeed.
she is likely to get much more than her
share. becauye she possesses just the ad-
vantages they are seeking. They will be
cordially welcomed, however many of
them there may be. Ex-Gov .No-shen is
to be congratulated upon the success
which is attending his efforts to settle
the unoccupied lands of the state with
a class Of people that viii contribute
greatly to the states wealth and pros
perity.

A story of Muraugn.

Walter Wellman tells rather a tough
story on Muruaga, the Spanish minister
at Washington. 1t appears that years ago
the present minister was an attache of
the Spanish legation, and W. w. Cor
coran, whose house was much frecuented
by members of the diplomat corps, heard
that young Muruaga had misbehaved him
self before one or the young ladies, a
er took a stick and went to interview the
Spaniard, whom he found In his own draw
ing-room. He taxed Muruaga with his Of

with his stick. The proud scion of old
Spain took refuge under a. sofa. begging
Justify for mercy. but Mr.. Corcoran pol1ed
HIM out of his retreat with his stick and
gave him a sounding whack as he fed pre-
cipltately from the house. The incident
led to the budding DIPLOMATS being sent
to another capital, and the old-t,mers at
Washington were not a little surprised
when he returned there as minister.

and no argument, however mgeniously

ii cannot force 1t upon the civilized world
and therefore Is powerles to enhance its

The Reason for the Crime of 1873"
From Louisville Courier-Jourhal (Dem).

1t was for the purpose of keeping our
halves. quarters and dimes out OF the melt
Ing pot and in circulation that silver was
degraded twenty years before the
crime OF 1873" and that we have some
thing like half a billion dollars In silver
In this country to-day. every one of which
Is kept as good as a gold dollar by the
policy OF the so-called gold monometal-
lists whereas before the crime OF 1873. &"
Il was an impossibility 10 ind a silver
dollar In the United States except as a
curiosity. II silver Is 1.-THE money OF the
poor man. then IL is due 10 the very
policy which tho silver extremists would
abolish that we not only have about as
much silver money as gold IN this country,
but that the silver which we have Is
sood money and not the debased cheat
which the free coinage advocates would
force upon the people 20 take the place
Of our current silver and gold coin.

1t is a difficult matter to get at the
precise size of the indemnity that China
is to pay Japan. The sum is stated in
taels. The tael, though called monetary
unit, is a weight. And it is a weight
that varies. The Tien Tsin tael is about
equal to one and one-thlrd ounces. avoir-
dupois. or a fraction more than $50 grains.
The Tien Tsin tael, therefore, is equal to
about one and two-fifths silver dollars
of the United States, at bullion value
At present prices 20OOOO.OOO taels. which
would weigh about 26e. 66e, 6s6 2-s ounces,
would be worth some $3.50 900 in gold.

Harvery's Misleading Arguments.

II Is quite clear that Mr.. Harvery. the
secretary of the Bimetallic League, and
author of Coins Financial School," which
is just now attracting so much attention,
is not interested so much in getting the
truth before the people as he is in trying
to force the country to n silver standard.
His little book. which is befogging the
minds of so many people, is full of mis-
statements and false arguments. which
will be fully exposed before the people
have an opportunity to act definitely upon
the silver question. As an illustration of
the kind of arguments that Mr.. Harvery
uses take his open letter in reply to the
Presidents sound money letter, published
a few days ago.
In his letter Mr.. Harvery says; THE
owners of products must now give up
twice as much property to pay their taxes
as in 1873" Is this statement true? Corn
is a product, a very great product, one
of the greatest in this country. Does a
farmer have to give up twice as much
corn to pay the same amount of taxes
now that he paid in 1873? BY no means.
At no time in 1873 was the price of corn
as high as it is now, and in June 1873. it
would have taken more than twice as
much corn to pay the same amount of
taxes as it takes in this year of 1895, for
corn in June, 1873. was worth in the mar
ket only q cents bushel, and now it is
worth about "a cents.
And yet there are thousands of people
in this country who are going about quot
ing this man Harvery's book, entitled
COINS Financial School, as financial
truth. No doubt they are sincere. but if
they would examine what he says carefully
they would have no trouble in discovering
that his statements are as reckless as the
one to which we have called attention.
If the silverites have no better arguments
to sustain their cause than those fur
nished by Harvery and his book they will
be the laughing stock of the country before
/ this silver campaign is ended.
