GARMACKS NPEECH.

The great Carmack has come and gone, and now that he is gone there is considerable comment on the free silver speech of the Memphis orator. While all of his immense audience of hearers were highly pleased with the distinguished editors speech, it is nevertheless a fact that he made no new converts to the free silver cause, and some there were who felt that it was deficient in that it was not convincing.
 But the GRAPHIC will do Bro. Car mack the justice to say that his speech was as strong a presentation of the cause of the white metal as that of any speech we ever heard or read on that side of the question. Carmack is brilliant, eloquent and humorous, and he never fails to please, instruct and entertain.
 But Mir. Carmack's own words, recently applied to Secretary Car ,isle's Chicago speech, are equally applicable to his own. 1t was a curious mass of economic fallacy, , said the famous Memphian in speak ing of Carlisle's speech, "misapplied and perverted history. cratic de- duction, eccentric logic and bald, dogmatic propositions in conflict with the most elementary principles of economic science
 Mir Carmack did not address him. self to the real question at issue be- tween the free silverites at 16 to l and their opponents. The real ques- tion for the American people to determine is, can the United States, free aud independent of the action of other nations, enter upon the free and unlimited coinage of the worlds silver at the ratio of 16 to l, while the commercial ratlO IS about 3Z to l, and maintain the parity of the two metals2 We have never yet seen or heard silverite address himself to this practical question, whieh is u e very heart of the whole matter. If we can, then the advocates of free silver at Is to l should give the reasons for their faith and should show how the parity can be main tained, and how every dollar, whether it be of gold or silver, can be held up to an equal purchasing power. That is the real question, but Mr Carmack, nor none of the free silver advocates ever touch

Anxiously watch declining health of their daughters. So many are cut off by consumption in early years that there is real cause for anxiety. In the early stages, when not beyond the reach of medicine, Hoods Sarsa- parilla will restore the quality and quantity of the blood and thus give good health. Read the following letter:
 "It is but just to write about my daughter Cora, aged 19. She was com pletely run down, declining, had that tired feeling, and friends said she would not live over three months. She had a bad

and nothing seemed to do her any good. I happened to read about Hoods Sarsapa- rilla and had her give it trial. From the very first dose she began to get better.

 If this can be done, then free sil- yer would be blessing, but if it cannot be done, then free silver would be blighting curse which would disarrange all values, demor- alize commerce, debase the currency and precipitate panic the like of which the world has never witnessed. It would reduce by one-half the pur- chasing power of days wages, re- duce by one-half the metallic money of the country, and make times tighter instead of easier.
 In some sort of mysterious way the free silver advocates tell us that it can be done-that we can have free coinage at 16 to l and maintain it at a parity with gold but they decline to tell by what process of reasoning they reach this conclusion. At this point they in variably become dogmatic, and if pushed to the point will say that if the parity can't be maintained, then they are in favor of free silver and monometallism at any rate.
 The distinguished editor also told us that since 1873, when the so- called denomination of silver is alleged to have taken place, that this period has been one of falling prices, oppression and disaster. While it is true prices have fallen on some commodities during that period, 1t is also true that other causes have contributed to the result, which some economists claim are quite sufficient to oyer come the difference in the price now and what it was in '73, such as an increase in production and a reduction in the cost of production and distfi6u- tioa which will more than aceoun t for any reduction in the price which has occurred between 1873 and 1895
 h his speech at the Opera-house Bro. Carmack maintained that pro- duction and supply and demand had nothing whatever to do with the case. butif we remember aright t was only few months ago, during the meeting of the Cotton Planters Convention in Memphis, that the distinguished Garmack appeared be- fore that convention and in a speech urged the planters to plant less cot ton if they expected to get a good price for it next fall. If production and supply and demand have noth- ing to do with prices, then how does l it come that the Southern cotton planter does nat get as much per pound for his cotton when a ten mil lion bale crop is raised as when only seven million bale crop is pro- duced? In thls statement Bro. Car mack sets at defiance all the rules of trade and the experience of individ- uals and nations.
 In his reference to low prices the distinguished journalist also main tained that prices are low because people have no money with which to buy, but in this contention he dis misses the facts which show that since 1873 the per capita of money in circulation and volume has stead fly increased and that the per capita circulation is g, eater in this country today than it has ever been, and that it is greater than in any nation in the world except France and Bel gium. If the argument holds good that an increase in the amount and volume of currency increases prices, then prices should be better now
