law, would have given New York a popu-

Why the bin was defeated is not clear.

that a deal was made by which certain sen

which Influential politicians are interested.

No doubt Chicago is happy over the de-
feat of the bill. She claims to have over
two millions OF Inhabitants, and therefore

who made the enumeration no doubt had
instructions that led them to be a little

acts of congress that authorize their coin

trary. We find Mr.. Jefferson saying this:
Just principles will lead us to disregard
the legal proportion altogether; to inquire
INTO the market price of gold in the sew
eral countries with which we shall prin-
clpally be connected in commerce and to
take an average from them. Perhaps we
might with safety lean to a proportion
somewhat above par for. gold, considering
our neighhorhood and commerce with the
sources of the coins and the tendency
which the high price Of gold IN Spain has

silver principally for our and other mar

The convention of the manufacturers

of drawing attention to the fact that Geor-
gia is already to a large degree a manu-
featuring state. The formation of Il Sa-

would be followed by beneficial results, be-
sides calling attention 10 the condition OF
affairs here. which Is practically ingored in
some Quarters-that Sevapnah has already
a good many factories, which are doing
fairly well. Apparently some people think
there are no factories other than cotton
factories. The Savannah manufacturers.
organized, would make such an imposing
showing that that false idea would be ex-
ploded. Cotton factories are desirable,
but they do not constitute the whole cata-
logue of desirable factories.

every morning he wouldn't be sick, and he
came across a s smooth as you please. and
never was sick for a moment. The captain
of the ship was so pleased with the expert

when an Englishman comes to Amer
ca" says the Augusta Chronicle "or
goes elsewhere out of England he buys
exchange on the country he visits. ana
so do our people when leaving America,
whether we have the gold standard, the
silver standard or the double standard"
That is the Chronicles answer to the
sound money assertion that it is neces-
sary TO have money as good as gold in
order that it may be equally valuable in
any civilized country. OF coure travellers
in other countries than their own ex-
change the money of their own country
for the money of the country In which
they are travelling. But it happens that
there is such a thing as a rate of ex-
change. and the rate in all Europe Is
based on gold At the present time United
States money is at par with the money
of Europe, and one pound sterling can
be bought for $AS9, which includes an
almost insignificant sum to pay for
handling. Will the Chronicle undertake
to say that if the United States were TO
adopt the silver standard. AS9 would buy
one pound sterling? The PROBABILITIES are
that the American purchaser of sterling
money would have to pay 81 for 81 ana
the fee besides. One United States
dollar, the equal in value of British money.
is worth within few cents of double the
value of Mexican silver standard dol
lar, although the Mexican dollar is the
heavier.

The Persistent Lover.
From Happenchanee.

From Eiappenchance.
Sweethearts? OF course. l had a dozen.
] was a pretty girl, you know.
Don't look at my gray hairs and wrinkles
Remember, this was years ago.
They came until I often wondered
How l could ever pick and choose;
But there was one among the number
l vowed I'd certainly refuse.
For Joe was short and dark and quiet
And those three faults | couldn't bear;
The man l dreamed of for husband
Was always gay and tall and fair.
But Joe kept coming with the others
Although l tried to make it plain
That he'd no chance; somehow II hurt me
To see his look of silent pain.
Then Harry spoke. and Jim, and Charley.
l liked them, every one-and still
CTwas that Joes doing) l refused them
l did, but twas against my Will
We'll, time went-Joe made his offer.
Which !, with many thanks, declined.
Would you believe? He kept on coming.
Said only, Il might change my mindH'
Said, he could wait'-so aggravating-
Such GOODNESS drove me almost wild;
But when I stormed he'd sigh and answer.
As Il were fractiSus child.
But wait hel did-fve years and over.
It's comforting at this late dav
To think how long he dangled round me-
And how made him beg and pray!
Sometimes I think that Joe bewitched me.
For It was strange that when tried
To say yes" to some other sutton
I'd always doubt, nor dare decide.
Well, so I finally consented:
Resistance was in vain, YOU see:
Somehow didn't want the others
And Joseph wanted me.

quarter of billion dollars annually.

some Frcc silver Literntnre.

Thefree silver coinage papers must have
a very low opinion of the Intelligence Of
the people Some Of the statements they
make in support of silver must be rather
startling. even to those in sympathy with
them. For instance. the Atlanta Consti-
tuition. In an editorial article. published
last Thursday, May 9. entitled: How 1t
Works" makes the following statement:
Every farmer IN Georgia. who has cot
ton or corn, or other products which
would have paid 81 of his debts two years
ago. must now produce just twice as much
to meet the same obligation"
on May Q, 1898, two years ago, middling
cotton was quoted IN Savannah at Sis
cents per pound. and No corn was
quoted IN Chicago at 1917 cents per bushel.
Last Thursday May .. the day the Con-
stitution's statement was made. middling
cotton was quoted in Savannah at 5-i6
cents per pound, and No. corn was
quoted In Chicago at 507i cents per bushel.
From these figures it appears that on the
day the CONSTITUTIONS statement was
made cotton was l cent a pound lower
than it was two years before. and corn
was IA cents a bushel higher than 1t was
two years before. With figures like these
why every farmer in Georgia, to pay debt
of 81. has TO produce twice as much OF
corn and cotton now as he did two years
ago only a free silver organ can explain.
Further comment is unnecessary.
