Free coinage of silver, as Secretary Car
llsle shows would not for a long time
add any thing &c our stock of money. The
immediate effect OF this policy would
be the contraction of our currency by
one-third OF IT'S present value by the ex-
portatlOn OF $62J, ,0OO IN gold and It
would require more than tlfteen years

1t will be seen that the Memphis con-
Vention was composed of persons who are
not AFRAID of real bimetallism. The fact
IS that DilnetSlliSm is Indispensable. Gold
CONS under a dollar would be a nuisance.
Both metals are needed, and this country
can never work out its destiny until its
gold and silver are at parity. The Men,
Hhls convention says We cannot act IN

European powers. The same convention

The standard of sound money has been
first raised in a southern city by southern
hands. and as it hutters in the breeze
Christendom will know that the south is
conservative yet progressive. Capital will
look kindly upon the section which did
not wait for the bugle blast before it raj
lied to the defense of principle Thus ben

the promoters of the convention will in
