THE FINANCIAL PROBLEM.
DEBATED BY SECRETARY SMITH
AND Ex-SPEAkER CRISP.
The Former Speaks for the Gold STAN
dard, While the Latter Champions
Free Coinage of Silver.

| AUGUSTA (Ga.), March 31.-The de-
bate between Secretary Hoke Smith and
| ex-Speaker Crisp took place tonight
in the Grand Opera house before dis
tinguished audience. On the stage were
| prominent Georgians and Carolinans.
headed by Governor Atkinson, ex-Sena-
| tor Patrick Walsh, Mayor Young and
| others.
| Chairman Dougherty of the Richmond
County Democratic Executive Commit
tee stated the terms of the debate, and
| introduced Mr.. Crisp.
| AS Mr.. Crisp arose he was greeted
by a storm of applause. He began by
saying that this was a somewhat un-
usual spectacle in Georgia. But un-
usual conditions exist, and we hope that
these conditions will justify the specta-
Gle that is presented. Mr.. Smith and
myseif are both Democrats, and both
expect to stand loyalty by the Demo-
cratic platform and nominees; but we
differ on the subject of money
10 begin with, you must know that
money is medium of exchange and a.
measure of value, and the measure of
deferred payments. Price is deter
mined, other things being equal, by the
amount OF primary money in the world
value is determined by the law of sup
ply and demand. This is a general law,
ana applies to money as well as commo-
d!tles. When we became a nation we
mad to establish our money standard
Each country had to do this for itself
There is no such thing as international
money. This country cannot decree
that it's money shall be a legal tender
in England, and England cannot make
its money legal tender here. Any law
that diminishes the amount of stand
ard money in the world is injurious to
the masses of the people, and only ben
efits those who have fixed Incomes
Mr.. Crisp closed with an argument
to show that this country could main
tain free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer independently of other nations He
was given protracted applause as he
took his seat
Chairman Dougherty Immediately in
troduced Secretary Smith, and he had
to pause until the applause ended which
greeted him. He then said:
I'VE are here tonight consulting to-
gether as Democrats upon party policy.
In opposing the free coinage of silver 7
am not fighting silver, and do not seek
to reduce it's use or it's legal tender
value. l favor all the gold, silver and
paper that can be kept equally good"
In answer ito the charge that they
were seeking to stop the use of silver
or to contract the currency, he gave the
amount of gold and silver in circulation
in 1850, in 1873, and in 1895, showing
that the total to-day is eight times that
of 1873
We are not trying to contract the
currency, and our silver friends mis-
lead you If they make you believe we
do not mean to accomplish the use of
both gold and silver as the money of
final payment for all obligations of this
country (ApplaVse.) Jefferson found
gold worth fifteen times as much as sill
yer, and fixed the ratio at 10 to l. Our
latter day statesmen find gold worth
thirty times as much as silver, but
want to fix the ratio only 16 to l. .
1t was 80 o'clock before the debate
ended.
