A Team From Atlanta.
A team from the Governors Horse
Guards of Atlanta will also endeavor to
make its presence felt at Sea Girt. The
team will consist Of Capt. J. 8. Dozier,
Sergt w. G. Brown, Quartermaster Geo.
M. Shope. Corp. A. G. Ballard and Privates
B. r. Padgett, F. w. Benteen, l.. J. Daniel
w. p. Walker and William Lycett. These
men have been practicing on their own
range at Lakewood for about four months,
and 1t Is reported, have made some very
creditable scores. At a recent shoot, af-
ter it had rained all morning and the
grounds were covered with mud and were
otherwise in bad condition, fourteen men
out of twenty-four made a score of TWEEN
ty-five or over out of possible 50, at 300
and 300 yards. This is considered iE At
lanta TO be very fine shooting, lowering
by large majority any previous scores
made by the same men. The expenses of
this team are to be met by the company,
and the rirlemen have not been limited.
They intend to travel in style and grasp
every advantage, thereby hoping to be in
perfect trim when the contests open. F.
w. Benteen is said to he the best shot on
the team. He holds the company medal
and several Others DIR. w. C. Brown is
also reported to be excellent marks

not be ashamed of the work of her repre-
sentative team in the coming competitions.

More Silver Than Other Nations.
I'VE are told that gold monometallism
has locked fast prosperity in a paralysis
or hard times; that to stop the fall of
prices and restore prosperity we must
adopt free coin. Mo- We now have more
silver than any other nation except India
and China, and it has not increased prices
nor preserved prosperity
Mr.. Curry said it was true the United
States can levy a prohibitive duty on for
etgn silver brought to this country, but
that would not be free coinage. To pro-
pose to limit coinage in this manner was
to abandon the whole ground Of rontro-
versy. This government should not adopt
the free coinage Of silver alone, because it
is not rich and powerful enough to as
sumo the dictatorship of the world. 1t
would be an attempt to carry the silver of
the world at 16 to l. when it is commercial
ly worth only 80 to l.
Mr.. Phelps Closes.
Mr. Phelps closed the argument. He said
that money is not a commodity unless 1t
has the force of law behind it. The crucial
test Is whether the owner can make his
creditors take it. Referring to the state
ment so often advanced as to the danger
Of this country retrograding among the
nations of the world II the silver basis were
adopted. Mr.. Phelps said:
DO we stand in danger of becoming
Mexicanized or Chinaized by free coinage?
Not much. If that were the case, however,
it could be just as truthfully held that we
likely to be Egyptianized or ItalianiZed
by the gold standard" Mr.. Phelps said
that the money in circulation in India and
China is silver. 1t Is higher priced than
our silver. and that being the case. who
will bring it to this country for coinage
hen 1t would involve a loss on every
ounce? Beside, If silver did come here,
what harm could it do? he asked. He said
Mr.. Curry had proposed no remedy for the
evils of the bond issue, but had asserted
that what the country needs Is revenue.
Does he want to go back to Mckinley
law. then?" demanded Mr.. Phelps. This
was met with cries Of Yes. yes" in some
parts of the hail, and equally vigorous
objections Of Never" in other sections.
Mr. Phelps then touched upon the ques-
ton of revenue and his argument assumed
something of a partisan character in IA
vor of the democratic administra ton, but
he was called to order by some of the au
diehce who insisted that politics should
rot enter into the discussion of silver con-
Quoted before members of labor unions.
At this point several men in the audience
manifested desire to engage In the dis
CT ssion, and questions and answers were
fired back and across the hall regardless Of
the speaker on the rostrum. Mr.. Phelps
then closed his address and the chairman
declared the meeting adjourned.
