The Atlanta Journal says: The free
silver men ia Fulton county are evidently
ratified They have lifted up a Macedonian
cry and in response TO 1t Ben Tiuman OF
South Carolina. and a young man named
Bailey from Texas. are coming TO help
them Tllman is TO hold forth next Non
day night and Bailey viii perform two
nights later. 1t is stated that after they
have heard the latter the silverites VIII
proceed TO organize"
From the foregoing it would appear
that the silver monomctallists OF Fulton
have grave doubts OF their ability to
carry Fulton county. They have found it
necessary to bring orators from other
states 10 give the cause Of silver a boost.
and they are going to perfect an organi-
cation.
But why didn't they import orators who
are capable Of giving the people informa-
ton on the silver question If young Bal
ley of Texas and Senator Tillman know
anything about the silver question they
have taken good care not to let the peo-
pie know it, Young Bailey has an idea
that he IS a statesman. and that his
greatness as q statesman consists i'm his
ability to avoid facts and deal in glitter
ing generalitlcs. He can talk a long time
without apparently saying anything which
conveys a clear cut idea to the average
mind. lie also considers it statesman
like to appeal to prejudices and pas
sions
As for Senator Tillman, the whole coun-
try knows the sort Of a man he is At
Atlanta he viii deliver the same speech
that he has been delivering for years.
He can't get away from that speech. 1t
is a mass of matter thrown together in
which there are very few facts and not
enough sound sense and logic to raise
it above mediocrity. He delivered it at
Pensacola recently. and the people at
that place straightway gave a majority
of 1000 or more for the existing gold
standard.
The sound money people of Atlanta
ought not to feel alarmed at the coming
Of TiIman and Bailey. who, if they pro-
duce the same effect there that they have
produced elsewhere. will do the cause
Of sound money good. They are able to
say so little for silver that those who hear
them come to the conclusion that there
is nothing to be said for it. We are sat
isfied that the silverites of Fulton county
are on the run. and that the county will
send a sound money delegation to the Ma
con convention.

1t is intimated that it is the purpose of
the silverite senators. especially those of
them who are republicans. to hold con-
gress together until after both the dem
ocrats and republicans have held their
national conventions. The House has
passed a resolution fixing Monday next
as the day for congress to adjourn, but it
is not expected that the Senate will agree
to It. In fact, nobody expects that con-
gross will adjourn before the end of the
first week in June. The President has
until that time to decide whether he will
veto or sign the river and harbor bill.
If he should veto 1t the probability is
congress would pass it over his veto.
What the silver senators want TO do is
to let loose a flood Of silver oratory. They
think they could influence the action of
the national conventions on the silver
question. If the silver senator's realized
how little attention the people pay to
what they say on the silver question they
would not for a moment consider the adj
visibility of holding congress together
for the purpose of making speeches in
behalf of silver If the silver senator's
were to talk from now until the republ-
can national convention met they would
not influence the action of that conven-
ton in the least, and if they were to con-
tinue their talk in behalf of silver
until the meeting of the national demo-
cratic convention what they might
say would not change the mind Of a sin
gle delegate in respect to silver.
The average congressional speech on
any question influences the public mind
very little one way or the other, for the
reason that such speeches are rarely
read. The silver senators have about
talked themselves out on the silver ques-
ton, and If they were to begin a series
of speeches on that question after the
appropriation bills were passed, they
would do little more than thrash over
old straw They would talk to empty
seats. because the great majority of con-
gressmen would leave Washington as
soon as the money bills were disposed Of
If the silver senators have any such
scheme in view as that suggested they
should abandon it. If they want to make
speeches in behalf of unlimited silver coin
age let them go to their respective states
and make them. They should not en-
deavor to subject the whole country to
such an affiiction

The value of Dollars.
From the Baltimore Sun Dem).

a correspondent is informed that $50
gold piece if melted up and returned to
the form of bullion would be worth so.
1t would sell for that. The inscription
on gold coins is to signify the purity of
the metal and the quantity The word
simply a certain weight of gold. That
weight of gold has a value fixed by the
usage of the commercial world-not by
any governments law. The vice of the
proposed unlimited coinage of legal-ten-
der silver dollars" at the ratio of Is to l
is that it is an attempt to double the
value of a certain weight of silver-an
attempt which is bound to fail with dis
astrous results to this country. To put
100 cents worth of silver into the silver
dollar would be honest and not imme-
diately hurtful, but to make 80 cents worth
of silver legal tender for 100 cents would
be both dishonest and ruinous.

sound NIoney in IIIinois.

The sound money democrats are organ
izing throughout Illinois. They have de-
termined that Gov. Altgeld shall not have
everything his own way, as was the
case year ago. when he had a free
silver coinage plank put into the state
democratic platform. Gov. Altgeld is
very shrewd politician-one of the shrewd-
est in the west-and he. is making ex-
traordinary efforts to commit the Illinois
democracy to unlimited silver coinage He
is doing this chiefly because he is against
anything that is favored by Mr. Cleve-
land II is doubtful if he is sincere in
contending for unlimited silver coinage,
because in the contracts he makes for
the payment of money to himself he
stipulates that he shall be paid in gold.
He wants gold for himself, but silver for
other people.
In Chicago the sound money democrats
are going to make the biggest kind of
an effort to send sound money delegates
to the state convention. They have much
to contend against. 1t is pretty we'll I'M
derstood that the silverites under the
lead of Altgeld purpose to resort to any
means, however unfair they may be. to
carry the primaries. They have already
indicated that purpose by refusing to hold
the primaries under what IS known as
the Crawford law, which provides for
Furnishing those who practice fraud of any
kind.
All over Illinois the struggle between
the slverites and sound money forces
promises to be a memorable one. The IL
linois delegation to the national demo-
cratic convention viii be powerful fac
tor in determining the character of the
declaration in the national democratic
platform on the silver question.

There is probably a good deal of guess
work in the report that France would
side with Spain in the event of a rup-

United States. France is now a republic,
and would hardly take sides with mon
archy against republic. Too much of
the spirit of Lafayette remains IN the
French people.

our esteemed democratic contemporary,
the Hartford Times, is unduly exercised
because of the fact that several state con-
ventions have pronounced for unlimited
silver coinage at the ratio of 16 to l. "The
free silver heresy is stronger in the United
States to-day than it has ever been be-
fore" Our friend is most likely in honest
error. 1t is merely paying more atten-
ton to the silverites clamor than it ever
paid before, for the reason that there is
less of tariff elamor to occupy its atten-
ton. 1t viii be proved at the election in
November that the people do not intend
to have the value of their money de-
stroyod.
