A AMASTERFUL LECTURE.

The lecture of Prof. F. G. Wood
ward, of the South Carolina College,
delivered in the Court House Tuesday
night will be an epoch in the literary
life of Winnsboro, and those who
heard his masterful effort can easily
appreciate that Major Barker was not
extra7agant in saying that nothing
like it had been heard in Charleston
since Thackeray lectured there. The
court room was crowded, and it is
especially gratifying to see how well
our people responded to the efforts of
the gentlemen who invited Prof.
Woodward. AL day Wednesday, the
lecture was the subject of conversation
on the streets, and it was the opinion
of every one that nothing like it had
ever been heard in Winnsboro. 1t
has already given an impetus to the
literary culture of eur people. After
the lecture was concluded in response
to invitations, about twenty-five gentle
men assembled at the residence OF
j. G. McCants, Esq, whose guest
Prof. Woodward was, where refresh,
ments were served, and a delightful
evening spent. At Mr.. McCants', the
initiatory steps were taken for the
organization of literary club, and it
is very probable that our people will
enjoy these. literary productions
oftener. Prof. Woodward very kindly
offered to assist the club in any way that
he could. 1t is certainly delightful to
hear such masters, and we knew that
the people of Winnsboro will be glad
to have Prof. Woodward as guest
again. 1t is impossible to touch such
men without feeling elevated.
A committee Of fifteen or twenty OF
our citizens escorted Prof. Woodward
from Mr.. McCants' to the Court
House, the committee occupying front
seats.
Mr.. J. G. McCants, to whose efforts
we were largely indebted for go dis
tinguished presence as Prof. Wood
wards, introduced the Professor in
most pleasing style.
Prof. Woodward said that he felt
more at home in Winnsboro than any
other town in the State on account of
the presence of so many old students
of the South Carolina College, and
paid beautiful tribute to the educa-
tional association of our old town.
His lecture on Shakespeare was
magnificent and scholarly production.
Holding the attention of his audience
throughout, there was not one but that
he or she regretted when it was finished
AS one gentleman expressed it, every
one who heard it feels as if he would
like to hear it again. For scholarly
style, thorough-going analysis of
Shakespear, showing how he bas por-
trayed every phase and variety of
human life, his wonderful Imagination,
his humor, his pathss and sympathy,
his universally his truthful adherence
to human life as it is, it would be hard
to conceive how these could have been
more eloque ntly aud masterfully pre-
sented.

Hints to Correspondents.

In opening our columns to a free
coinage of opinion on the monetary
problem, we must beg to remind our
correspondents of the necessity Of
clearness in the expression of their
thoughts. Let us keep in mind the ex-
act issue, which may be stated, by in
terrogations, as follows:
is there sufficient gold in the United
States to enable us successfully to ex-
clude silver from our currency, except
as subsidiary coin?
If not, shall we make no change un-
til we can have the free coinage of
both gold and silver, under an interna-
tional agreement; or shall we, putting
a tariff on foreign silver, proceed to
coin American silver at a ratio with
gold to be hereafter agreed upon by
congress?
There you have all phases of the
present issue in a nutshell An affirma-
tive answer to the first question will,
as soon as proved, justify gold mono
metallism if it be deemed desirable,
even when possible, to limit our pri-
mary money Nor money of ultimate re-
demption) to one metal
A negative answer to this question
will, as soon as sustained by accurate
statistics, bring us to the necessity Of
deciding, with reference to bimetallism,
first, whether an international agree
ment is probable; second, whether it
would be effective; and third. if neither
probable nor effective, whether this
country may not, with safety. accom-
plish the desired result by adopting
complete bimetallism independently.
BY confining their remarks to these
few salient points, our contributors
will economize both energy and space,
and likewise prevent an unnecessary
confusion Of ideas.

SCRANTON, APRIL 27, 1895.

The reported willingness Of the
Scranton Traction company to equip
its cars with safety tenders as soon as
safe tenders are on the market puts
the question squarely before the public,
and the public has right to hear
testimony in the premises. If tenders
save life in several other cities, why
shouldn't they save 1t in Scranton? A
life in Scranton is just as valuable as
a life in Baltimore or Buffalo.

a Foe to a Sound Currency.

There is one feature of the current
financial discussion which has been un-
fortunately somewhat obscured. The
United States was, until recently, the
largest silver-producng country in the
world. The director of the mint esti-
mates the worlds product of silver for
1898 at 5,O13,74O Kilograms, of the coin
age value of $2OS, 81 100. For the year
1891, prior to the depression of the
American silver industry, the coinage
value of the American production of
silver was, according to the report Of
the superintendent of the United States
geological survey. s75. 5.416.5s5. 1t Is fair
to say that, in time Of normal activity
the silver mines of the United States
produce regularly one-third Of the sill
yer production of the entire world
This being true; and the American
silver production being more than
double the American gold production
(Which, in 1891, was $33175,O ,OOO), why
should the president OF the United
States fail to use the full extent of his
influence in the direction, not Of re-
tarding, but OF Fastening an agree
ment among the nations looking to the
restoration throughout the world of the
double standard? At time when most
statesmen believe the European senti-
ment favorable to such an agreement
to be rapidly growing, even In money
lending England, why should the pres
ident of the most interested nation in
the world be reluctant to move toward
the holding Of another conference with
a definite purpose to force the issue;
and why should the constant endeavor
of his administration be to make yet
greater the disparity between gold and
silver? It is more to Americas interest
than to that Of any other nation that
silver be rehabilitated, for the simple
reason that we, of all nations, have the
most unmined silver. Yet the anom-
alous spectacle is presented under the
Cleveland regime of the official powers
Of our government being used to their
utmost, not for, but against, the ma
tional interest In this matter.
We do not doubt that nearly every
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-04-27

n partial truth. The bimetallism Of to-
day, in America, Is gold monometalljsm
plus the remnant OF past sops to the
silver interests. 1t Is an appreciated
dollar Of gold trying to hold up de-
preciated dollar Of silver by thread.
There can be no permanent stability In
such a currency as we have at pres
ent. Besides, the business interests OF
the country need currency that can
not be "cornered."

1t would be good thing IL some law
could be devised that would prevent an
already bankrupt railroad no longer
sensitive to pecuniary losses from arbi-
trarily infiicting losses on business
men in the pursuit of an honest trade.
Such a law would probably benefit the
anthracite coal trade.

value either metal possesses II conferred
upon It entirely by It's adaptability to hu-
man uses. Subtract those uses and It

The letter of Mr.. Chittenden in an
other column is an able plea for con-
servatism in the treatment of our cur
rency. We are inclined to think, how
ever, that he places too much empha-
sis upon the Importance of credits as a
substitute for cash in business trans
actions. One dollar in coin might dis
charge 81, 900 worth of debts in a year,
If passed successfully to 1000 persons
But simultaneously issue five checks
on the strength of that dollar, and you
have imitation, the discovery of which
means panic. Credits are acceptable
when backed by cash or It's equivalent;
but have we enough gold in the United
States to give acceptability and safety
to the credits of the country Our
own opinion is that we have not; and
that, therefore, the supplementary use
of silver, upon parity with gold, is
absolutely essential If we would avoid
q harmful contraction of our currency
Concede this, and you concede all that
conservative friends of silver expect;
all, in fact, that they could wisely de-
sire.

No More Fake Franchises

The action of common council Thurs
day night in hating the ordinance CIV
ing a right of way to the Interstate
Telephone company until the genuine
ness of the enterprise can be estab-
lished was unquestionably wise. With
the memory of the Valley Passenger
railway episode fresh in mind, it would
be a mistake to grant any more fran
chises without first exacting bond for
the bona fide fulfillment of the con-
tract.
There can be no objection to the loca-
ton of a second telephone exchange in
this city. Competition is unquestiona-
bly, healthful to business like the tele-
phone business; and the public is rarely
the loser by it. If the Interstate peo-
pie are in earnest, they will not object
to filing an adequate bond that within
six months after the signing of their
franchise they will have a plant in
actual operation; falling in which the
bond shall be forfeited and the fran
chise revert to the city.
But to grant this franchise outright,
as the Valley Passenger Railway fran
chise was granted, merely as a kind
of public contribution to a figurehead
board of directory, would be species
of councilmanic simplicity not to be a
second time excused. The people, it
may as we'll be clearly understood,
propose to keep an eye on councils in
this matter

sympathy for the poor British gov
ernment in its hour of dire financial
need should not be permitted to OBJ
scure the important fact that, in this
Nicaraguan affair, England has as
sessed its own damages, declined all
offers Of arbitration and proceeded to
the collection Of Its absurdly distended
claim by the combined tactics of the
bully and the bandit. Temporary"
occupation of Nicaraguan soil will be-
come permanent occupation and the
Monroe doctrine pass into the history
Of repudiated delusions unless the
American state department soon
awakens to its duty.

sincere advocate of the Independent
free coinage Of silver would be abun-
dainty satisfied to await the outcome of
another earnest endeavor to secure an
international bimetallic agreement,
were the hand Of our government hon
estly friendly instead Of hostile to such
an endeavor. There is uncertainty con-
nected with the Independent free coin
age OF the American silver product;
whereas, there would be no uncertainty
as to the beneficial consequences of an
international agreement upon this sub
ject, and 1t would be u poor Judgment
which would not willingly prefer cer-
tainty to uncertainty in matter so
vital as is the national currency. But
when the president of the United
States, instead of fulfilling his obvious
duty in the premises. goes over bodily
to the foes Of silver and uses all his in
fiuence to still further debase and de-
grade the silver which is so consid-
cradle an element in his own country's
natural resources, who can wonder that
some Of the friends OF honest bimetal-
lism lose patience and fly to an opposite
extreme?
We venture to say that had Benja-
min Harrison been reelected president
three wears npO the silver QueStiOn
would by this time have been either
settled or near to settlement by favor
able concurrence of the nations, with
the United States taking the lead.
