A Voice From Georgia.

Silver is an issue, great issue. 1t
will be the leading issue in the cam
paign Of next year. There is Il we'll de-
fined sentiment among us that free coin
age OF both gold and oliver at parity
OF 1 6 to l would immensely help bust
ness. Down south the crops will be
large, more especially corn. But prices
are not encouraging There is no money
i'll farming today, nothing but a mere
subsistence.
We have raised enough corn and cot
ton and other crops to pay off the na-
tlonal debt and make the south wealthy.
but we don't control the price of what
we have to sell. That is controlled uD
here. A small! number of men tell us
what we shall get for our crops, and
we are not i'll a position to oppose them
successfully.
It is believed that with the free com
age of silver tho farmer and the work
ingman would get better return for
theproducts of the soil and the factory.

Why Break Down an Industry

The cry Of the administration is that
the free silver movements solely in the
/ interest Of the silver mine owners. Let
us study this statement briefly. The
silver production Of the United States
is very large. The mining Of silver is a
most important industry in America.
Why should government officials, parad-
ing over the country the ideas Of their
stuffed prophet, seek to break down tlia
great industry? Suppose they should
attempt to destroy tho manufacture Of
cotton presses. Suppose they should
seek to destroy the coal mining business
or the production of iron and steel
Would the ople Of the United States
tolerate such conduct one nonont? No,
and they will robuke with their honest
ballots the efforts Of Mr., Cleveland and
his cabinet officials not only to destroy
one half the money OF tho people, bur
also to break down one Of her finest In.

History of tho Ratio.

The number Of grains of coined silver
equal to one grain Of coined gold is
called the ratio. This is an arbitrary
enactment Of law. The original ratio
5000 years before Christ was to
|. Julius Caesar, emperor Of Rome, in
the year 45 B. G. fixed the ratio ut
II to l. This ratio was maintained for
l,940 years throughout the civilized
world until the foil Of the Roman en-
plre, a. D, 1904. The ratio hxed by the
act of the United States congress Of
1899 was Is to l. The French ratio at
that tine vas 15]a to l, In 1887 con-
gross changed tho ratio to 16 to /, The
chief reason for re1nonetizing silver as
that ratio now is that 1t would be In ac-
cordance with existing law ind would
not require the oalling i'll and rocoinuge
OF any OF tne gold and silver coins now
IN circulation. New York Mercury.

look sharply to their interests and must
themselves take hand in selecting del

working to restore. Prompt, aggressive,

all possible conflict within party ranks

AMERICAN DICTATOR
The Position Of Grouer Cleupl2n(
and His Cabinet.
LIS Il Crime Against the Government
Around the Country and De
Drcciate Dnc-Maif OF It's Cir
cutasing Medium Etc

During an address recently delivered
by Hon. Fl. H. Carlton at High Shoals,
he said. as reported by the Athens CORE
spondent of the Atlanta Constitution:
To forcibly present this condition of
affairs to the people of this country let
us suppose that the queen of England
and her ministers should traverse that
country and in letters and speeches, as
MIR. Cleveland and his cabinet and cuck-
oos are doing today, tell the English
people that their shilling and pound
sterling were not really worth more
than half for which they We're paid out
and passed; that they were "unsound"
and "depreciated and dishonest stuff, :"
how long would the English people toll
erato such ntterances and such conduct
OH the part of their government Off
cials, and how long would the English
government stand under such a condi-
tlon of affairs?
In another view, how long would any
government in this world prosper and
exist # their rulers and hired officials
should go around and preach to the peo-
pie that their lawful money was un-
sound, deprecated stuff and not worth
moro than one-half what the govern
ment paid it out and received it at? If
such conduct in England Oh the part of
its government officials would be injury
to and conspiracy against the govern
ment, why is it not SO in America? If
crime in England OF any other foreign
country, beyond all question it is Grim
inal to do SO in America.
Then, fellow citizens, it must follow
conclusively that if these silver dollars
coined by this government FROM the
foundation up to 1878, with 37lL
grains, were sound and honest dollars,
then every other silver dollar that has
been coined by this government, as none
has ever been coined with less than
371H grains, must necessarily be sound
and honest dollars. If one is sound and
honest, all must be sound and honest;
if one is a dishonest and deprecated
dollar, then all the silver dollars ever
coined by the government are dishonest.

LET TIE DOG LIVE.
1t Helps the Doctor to TEL Whether You
Will Go Mad.

|
If you are bitten by q dop don't
| k}ll the dog, but take every precaution
to let him live for few days at least. .
| Prof. Logan, chief Of the Pasteur in
| stltute in Chicago, made this oracular
| statement to reporter for the Tribune.
and he is supposed to be an authority
on dogs that bite and what to do with
them.'
1T is great mistake people make"
he SAID, ito start in at once to kill a
dog that has bitten them or have it
killed for them. 1t has been proven
scientifically and is admitted now bv
all physicians who are posted chat
hydrophobia is not spontaneous dis
ease and cannot be given to a person
by dog bite unless the dog is mad
when 1t causes the wound. The dogs
condition, if it be mad, will be mani
tested within two days. or two weeks
at the latest. Bv permitting it to live.
therefore, the physicians can tell def
lnltely whether the person bitten is
liable to have hydrophobia If the
dog goes mad within that time thev
know the person bitten may be inocu-
lated with the same dread disease and
may have the same fate If the dog
does not go mad then there is no fear
of hydrophobia and the wound can be
treated as any other wound would be.
BY killing the dog you destroy the
chance OF certainty as to the fate of the
person bitten and leave the imagina
tion full rein to fear the worst results
when it might have been possible to
know in advance that hydrophobia was
impossible
of course" continued the doctor
there arc exceptions to this rule that
will suggest themselves to persons.
When dog is SO vicious that to leave
1T alive is to endanger other people
tnen the first duty would be to destroy
1T unless it could be kept carefully Sc
cluded where the possibility of harm
would be removed. But even in such
a case where the dog is killed it should
be done by physician, who should
keep a portion OF the brain by which
can be determined whether the dog
had rabies or not

Silver the PEOPLES Money.

1t looks now as though you might as
we'll try to reverse the course of the
rivers as to get the masses to have any
thing less than free coinage of silver at
a ratio not less than 1G to / as it was
before it was demonetized by the bond
holders and money speculators in 1878,
says B. Frank Keith of Wilmington,
N. G.
When you leave the towns and cities,
it is as rare to find a gold monometalist
as it is to find a bimetallist president of
national bank. The scarcity of money
and the continual shrinkage of farms
and farm products, as we'll as every
thing else since silver was demonetized
except debts, have thoroughly aroused
tho producer and caused him to believe
there is certainly something wrong in
our financial system. and majority of
those III the cities interested in him are
beginning to believe with him, as they
find when he is prosperous all other
classes are prosperous, and when he is
depressed the balance Of mankind is or
soon will be.
Gold is the money of about 4, 900, 900
Of our people, while silver is the money
of 65,000,000. Yet the money of the
65, 100000 must be destroyed to appease
the greed Of the 100000.

"A Hard Row For Hoke.

The truth is that Secretary Smith
will have hard row to hoe when he
comes to Georgia for the purpose of
convincing Democrats that they should
now accept Republican doctrines merely
because these Republican doctrines have
been embraced by MIR. Cleveland. The
people can get nothing, boys, unless they
fight for It, and we think the secretary
will be disagreeably surprised at the
ess11estness OF the fight which the people
propose to make in favor ct the restora~

They'll Squeeze Us.

Upon interviewing the head of one of
the great foreign exchange houses OF
New York upon the probability of the
United States keeping up gold pay
ments, this gentleman, who is one of
the brightest of American financiers,
| said:
If no serious developments occur in
European politics-whichl latter are preg-
nalt with danger to the money market
it may be possible to keep up gold
payments until next spring. Immense
efforts are made by the banking and
commercial interests in New York city
by agitative means-to stem the BIZ
metallistic tide surglng throughout this
country. Yet it is very doubtful if the
next congress will agree with the adj
mlnlstratlon upon any measure to re-
move from the United States treasury
the terrible incubus of maintaining the
gold payments-viz, keeping up the
monometallistic standard as expounded
by the European capitalists, Cleveland
and Carlisle.
Even if the gold exchangeable notes
should be withdrawn, no relief would
come, for the banks would then all the
more tightly clutch their holdings of
the gold coin, only furnishing it under
the inducement of high premium.
Neither will the European banking
interest or governments consent to al
low gold in large quantities to come to
this country, even We're we to offer in
place United States bonds. Enr1rean
capital will not take for our debit bal
ance our securities, as was the case for
merly. Consequently we must procure
gold in settling our debts, though gold
a premium
We are in similar position toward
Europe as a western farmer is whose
place is heavily hypothecated and whose
products do not earn the mortgage in
terest.

Forty Cent Wheat and Twenty Cent Cor,

Forty Cent Wheat and Twenty Cent Corn,
The total domestic consumption of
wheat is estimated annually at 334,
000,0 ,000 bushels Financial experts.
however, claim that this consumption
is reduced 10000, 900 q year owing to
the scarcity Of money.
The fact is that this country cannot
compete with the silver and cheap
money countries The farmer in Argen-
tina gets about 80 cents bushel for his
wheat in paper which enables him to
pay good wages and earn living.
When this wheat reaches tho coast, it is
put through the gold crucible, and the
British exporter is able to sell his wheat
to England at 30 cents a bushel in gold
AS financial expert and student of
conditions, / expect to see American
wheat sell at 40 cents bushel and corn
at 20 cents bushel this fall. The
American farmer will be much worse
off than the Argentina farmer and will
find he has been "plowing the sand. "
The recoinage Of silver would cause
rise in prices of wheat, corn and cotton,
and though it might shut off exports
would enable our own people to enjoy
certain domestic prosperity. Eugene
Bloodgood Beebe in New York Herald.
