AFRAID OF THE FUTURE.

Business Paralyzed by Free Coinage Asi-
tation.
The Wooden and Willow Ware Trade
Review of April 10 offers the following
explanation for the cause of the present
unsatisfactory business conditions:
All business is done by the medium
Of the existing measure Of value. If
there are any doubts about the future Of
that measure, commerce gradually ap-
proaches standstill When the Sher-
man silver law was repealed, confidence
in the future began to return, and it
was expected that steps would be taken
to remedy the evils of the currency sys-
tenn under which the business Of the
country has been operating. Stimulated
by this view, some business men launch
ed new enterprises and started up old
ones. There was an appearance Of re-
vival in business a year ago.
When, however, it was found that
there was small band Of men, whose
whole future was based upon securing
the free coinage Of silver by the United
States minis, in position to block ev-
cry move made to insure the continu-
ance of honest money in this country,
commercial people became nervous
again. They commenced to prepare for
financial trouble, which they thought
might come. This preparation involved
the withdrawal of loans, the curtail-
ment of manufacturing, the abandon
ment of new projects and the gathering
of reserves. Thus manufacturing and
trading have for some months been suf-
fering from gradual paralysis.
These conditions should convince ev-
cry business man of the paramount i'm
portance of having the SO called currency
question settled. just NOW one of the
most profitable things business man
can do is to use his influence and spare
time in working toward currency ne
form and impressing upon the polfti-
clans the fact that the business IN
terests of the country require sound
money. Oux national politicians who
are now setting up the pins for
presidential election should take warn
ing No candidate who is not in favor
of the gold standard ought to be
elected president this year. Efforts
should be made to prevent any man not
sincerely and earnestly in favor Of it
from being candidate upon either che
Democratic Or Republican ticket

GIVE HOME ARCHITECTS A SHOW
The school Board Discusses Plans for
the New Building.

There was little done at the January
meeting Of the board Of education last
night, except to discuss the action Of
the committee on school buildings in
awarding to Architect Norman OF Allan
Ia the preparation Of the plans for the
building TO be erected at Anders IN and
Haborsham streets The board finally set
tied the matter by referring it back TO
the committee.
The members Of the board present at
the meeting were Col. Mercer, president
and Messrs- Saussy, Denmark, Herman
Myers. Lee Roy Myers, O'Byrne, AXon and
Supt. Baker submitted his report for the
month, which was adopted.
Mr. Lee Roy Myers, from the commit
Tee on school buildings, reported progress
in the matter Of the new school building
and asked further time to submit plans.
Mayor Myers said that IL was reported
that an architect in Atlanta had been en-
ployed TO prepare the plans for the pro-
posed building, and that no Savannah

they did not suit the board.
Mayor Myers and Col. Estill thought

The Bark NOrmanvik Sprung n Leak
and the Crew Refused to Proceed.
The Norwegian bark Normanvik, Capt.
Mortensen, which sailed from Savannah
Jan. for Harburg, Germany returned
to port yesterday in distress. She
had a cargo of naval stores, and ran into
heavy weather. which continued for
several days.
Jan. the storm became severe. The
vessel was repeatedly washed by the
high seas, and the windass pump was
carried away. She began to leak, and in
a day or two afterwards the water in
her hold increased until she was leaking
nearly ten inches an hour
AS 1t was impossible to keep the vessel
dry with the hand pump the crew became
alarmed and insisted that the captain put
into the nearest port. The vessel was
at the time about 800 miles east of Sa-
vannah. Capt. Mortensen decided that it
would be safer to put back rather than
risk the long voyage across with the yes
sci in a leaky condition, and at once set
sail for Savannah arriving al Tybee at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The bark was mOored at Gordon wharf
where she will remain until survey is
held upon her. 1t is supposed that the
leak is on her sides above the conner
plating of the hull. She was deeply
loaded, having 4210 barrels of rosin and
1.S0O white oak slaves. The cargo was
shipped by Paterson, Downing & Co and
is valued at $10500

WAX AHEAD IN FERTILIZERS.
Manufacturers Rushed to Keep Up
With the Demand.

The fertilizer business so far this season
has been greatly increased over any for
the last three or four seasons. Savannah
manufacturers have especially done well
in making contracts.
Merchants in the country have been dis
posed to buy earlier than for any season
in five or six years, and they have bought
more freely, increasing their contracts at
the very beginning. Heretofore the con-
tracts made during the early part of the
season have been small, with the expec-
fancy of increasing Them as the season
progressed.
The manufacturers have had their tray-
cling statesmen on the road for the past
two months and those from this city have
been remarkably successful, showing the
high standard of the goods manufactured
here. 1t is said that the Georgia COM
panies have already closed contracts for
about so per cent. of their expected output
for the season.
In the territory worked by the Georgia
manufacturers. the outside factories have
not held their trade, and their season will
be cut short as compared with Georgia
While the output will be increased very
largely over last year, stin the depression
of last summer, caused all factories to
close down, and they have lost about one
third of a years run. The factories, how
ever, are kept busy, working to their ut
most capacity, trying to meet the in
creased demands

TO METER TWO STREETS.
The Water Commission Decides on
BrOughton and Liberty streets.

me W uief toHmiSsiOn Oeci0es on
BrOughton and Liberty streets.
The water commission met yesterday af-
ternoon, and decided upon Broughton and
Liberty streets as the two streets to be
first fitted UP with water meters.
The work of putting in the meters will
begin at once. The two streets are Sc
lected because IL is believed that they
will furnish the most satisfactory test as
to the workings of the meter system,
Broughton being a business ana residence
street and Liberty entirely a residence
street.
The intention is to have these two streets
equipped with meters by April /.
During the ensuing three months rec

consumed by the residents of those streets
as shown by the meters, and the figures

by the two streets after the meters are

In addition meters will be put in else
where throughout the city wherever re-
quested by property owners. There is a
considerable number of people who be-
Hove that the meters are destined to prove
a good thing and number have re-
quested that meters be placed in their
houses.
Supt Lotion says that the cost of a
meter. including wooden box and iron
cover, will be 50. The cost of placing the
meters in position will depend altogeth-
er on the position of the water pipes with
which connection will have 10 be made.
1t is estimated that the cost of this work
will range from s. to 81. making the total
cost of the meter to the property owner
$i4 to $40.
The three meters ordered by Manager
Golden for the gas company will cost only
Sl35 and not $500 as stated the other day.
The large meter for the board of trade
