'TODAY'S TALK OF DEBATE
Mr.. Davis Is Perfectly Satisfied; Mr..
HutchinS Is Mum.
General Opinion That Gold Had the
Best of the Fight Dissented From

vision OF opinion as TO the result IL Is

1t is matter OF general comment that
Mr.. Hutcuins failed to answer the vital ques-
iion. what effect ne thought would bc The
effect upon the silver dollar Of admitting the
white metal To free coinage. Mr. Hutch
ins, IL is pointed out, described the course
OF affairs up TO the present timt'with toll
cradle accuracy, but when it came to him
to tell what was TO be hoped from the cleo
tion of Bryan he had no answer.
Mr.. Davis was sitting at his desk attend
ing to his practice when Times reporter
called. He expressed himself as entirely
satisfied with the result
"Of course" he said, in the limit Of
time necessary under the circumstances,
there was no opportunity for complete
treatment of the hearing. Butt ! was
pleased with the patient and attentive
hea ring gwen us by nearly all that splendid
audience, and think-the result has been
decidedly for good. The project for the dis

thought.

of the other party, was perfectly fair.

friend. and knew when consented IL the
selection that should receive entirely Just
treatment"
Mr. HutChns does not appear to be en-
thusiaStic over the result He had no COM

he felt.
Secretary Gardner, OF the Democratic
committee. said:

These statements are certainly true,

WHAT THEY FOUND.

Then they found that the laws of the
Confederacy conferred no value upon either
silver or paper, but that the gold bullion
of the United States which the confed-
cracy appropriated to its own use and
minted ut New orleans and at Dablonega,
Ga into eagles and double eagles, con-
tipues-though in law counterfeits- Of
as much purchasing power as those of the
same weight and fineness coined by the
United States on yesterday. But even had
these coins been stamped Is issued by the
Confederate States OF America, and been
of standard weight and fineness, they
would buy as much today in the markets
of the world as the same denominations OF
United States gold coin.
THE stamp Of that free coinage Confedcr-
ate cgovernment-though it be dead as Julius
Caesar is just as good on a golden double
eagle, and adds much value as that Of any
governmental stamp TO any genuine twenty
dollar piece And yet we are sapicntly
told that coiu-values are the mere creatures
of law Notwithstanding the fact that every
gold coin made i'll the mints of Georgia and
Louisiana in tue year 1s61-coined unlaw-
fully by those who rebelliOusly wrested
both bullion and mints from their rghtful
owner-will pass current today with buy
ing power in each equal TO that of genuine
United States gold coins OF tue same weight
and fineness.
1T is possible that some Southerners
are still unrecon structed and disloyal?
Can it be that Vest, Harris, Morgan, P-eh
and other ancient giants of the Confederacy
aim to accomplish by false finance that
which they failed to bring about by arms
the dishonor and destruction OF this re-
public?

Their consummate skill in raising rev

The fact that very many or the lead
ers OF the Confederate 16 to l doctrine

at the Chicago convention, and were alys
among the prime architects of the wonder
fully expansive and successful monetary
system of the Confedarcy, is cause for
congratulations. Instinct taushtthose prac-
teal men ill the days Of their Confederate

But experience subsequently gave them a
lesson which illustrated the folly of he

THEIR FIRST LOVE.

Are the same logcians who advocated

silver still thinking Of their first love-
And yet some OF these would-be masters Of
national money matters today voted in
the Confederate congres for the following
resolution which pa ssed and was approved
by jefferson Davis on March II, 1862:
Be it resolved by the Congress of the Con-
federate States of America, That this Con
gress do solemnly declare and publish to
the world that it is the unalterable deter
Inination of the people of the Confederate
States, in humble reliance upon Almighty
God, to suffer all the calanities of the most
protracted war, but that they will never ON
any terms practically affiliate with peo-
pie who are guilty OF an invasion OF their
Soil and the butchery OF their citizens.
.'And now numbers of those Southern
statesmen who declared against affliation
with the East and West and North aI.i pre-
ferred to suffer all the calamities of the
most protracted war; are not only endeav-
oring to affiliate with, but to dominate
