EVERY BUSINESS SUFFERS.

Hon. A. O.. Bacon of Georgia, one of
the ablest members of the United States
senate, made some weeks since one OF
the strongest speeches that has been de-
livered in that body on the financial ques-
ton. Among other things, he presented
a most realistic picture of the effects of
contraction of the currency which must
necessarily result from the perpetuation
of the single gold standard. His words
address themselves to the common under
standing, as we'll as the experience of
mankind.
There can be-" said he, mo greater
evil to business prosperity of a country
than falling prices caused by the con-
traction of the volume of standard mon
ey. 1t stagnates the current of business.
One cannot afford to buy a house when
he knows that prices are falling, and that
the house will be worth less in month
than it is the day he buys 1t. He cannot
afford to buy material and employ labor
and build house, when he knows that
with falling prices the house within a
short time after it's completion Will be
worth less than the cost of the labor ana
the material. What is true of one man
is true of all others in the community.
The building of houses stops, and in con-
sequence the man who makes material
stops making material and his laborerS
go unemployed. The laborers and me-
chanics having no employment, have no
wages to spend with the merchants. The
merchants, having fewer customers, have
less goods to buy, fewer goods to ship
by the railroads and fewer clerks to en-
ploy. The railroads, having less freight
to transport for the merchants, run few
er trains, employ fewer men and at less
wages, in the shops and on the roads,
and they in turn have less money to
wi hn ba t1tC q n n n
be traced through every industry and
branch of business, the depression of
each acting upon the other and paralyz-
ing it. The business disasters of the past
three years furnish all details of the pic
ture.
I'm the general stagnation caused by
falling prices during the past three years
the merchant has been idle behind his
counter, the hammer of the mechanic
has been still, the wheels of the factory
have ceased to go round, and the farmef
no longer has had remunerative prices
for his products, and except where sup
ply has fallen below the normal demand,
has had to sell them at lesg than the cost
of production. Out of such conditions it
is not to be wondered at that the mer-
chants and farmers have become bank
rupt, that railroads and almost all other
business enterprises have gone into the
hands of receivers, that valuable real
estate has become a drug, that all bust
ness langushes, and that the land is
filed with idle men, who can find no
work. And the end is not yet, for the
commercial agencies report an increas-
ing number of failures. The distress and
disaster will in greater or less degree
continue as long as the single gold stand
ard is practically maintained, for the an
nual coinage of gold will not keep pace
with the increasing population and BUSH
ness development"

The opulent young gentlemen who are
managing Clarke's campaign were wear

was because they had played the races

The Greenville correspondent of the
Advertiser states it as a fact that the
State Herald has only six subscribers at
that point This is a statement which
the State Herald happens to know is not
correct. If the Advertisers correspond
ents will make an incorrect statement
about one thing they will also state other
things incorrectly. They are instructed
to state things incorrectly. That is nee
essary to keep the Clarke canvass alive.

The New York correspondent of the
London Standard says: ut is believed
that the Venezuelan negotiations are
proceeding hopefully on the basis of a
purchase of the disputed districts" No
settlement by purchase can be satisfac-
tory unless Venezuela becomes the pur-
chaser, which is improbable. For Great
Britain to acquire territory by purchase
in. the western hemisphere would be
quite as obnoxious to the letter and spirit
of the Monroe doctrine as to seize 1t by
conquest.

OF course, Governor Oates refusal to
stump the state to bolster up the falling
candidacy of the Hon. Richard II. Clarke
was entirely right and proper and con-
sistent with the dignity of the high Of
flee with which the people of Alabama
have honored him. But it was just the
thing the Clarke managers desired him
not to do. 1t is the greatest blow to the
Clarke people since the election in Nor
gan.

to express. He then asked. what do
you think of IT, the Advertisers charges
are true?" I replied, of course that in
that event the practices complained of
should be condemned. but added, | do
not approve the course pursued by the
Advertiser in this matter. l was infiu-
enced in this last remark by the consider
alton that it is rare, if ever, an election
is entirely free from mistakes or irregu-
larities, and no uncommon thing, after
an election, for voters to claim that they
voted for a particular candidate, when,
in fact, they had not; especially is this
true when strong Influences are exerted
on them in favor of one or the other of
the candidates. I do not think fraud
should be tolerated in elections, either
inside or outside the party. but we should
be slow to charge it within the family
and, even then think a way can gen.
orally be found to rectify it.
For instance. in the case of Morgan
county, if fraud was suspected there. no
one can doubt that a sufficient number
of reputable and trustworthy friends
of boths the candidates for governor
could have been found who would have
could have been found who would have
been willing to jointly sift the charges,
cepted by the party. Such course
would, even if fraud were proved, be
to the party, and by its PROMPT
ascertainment and reputation of the
fraud the latter's effect would be large
ly neutralized. Very respectfully,

years for no other purpose. as admitted

MORGAN FOR PRESIDENT.

The New York Mercury of the 14th
pays a very handsome tribute to Sen
ator Morgan of Alabama 1t says:
Senator Morgan, without being aware
of it, is fast becoming a formidable can
didate for the Chicago nomination. His
thorough neutrality-suspicious. of the
memories of Hamilton, Clay Jackson
and Polk-is charming the people, made
emphatic as it is by the manifest toryism
of republican senators like Wolcott, Hale
and Hoar.
Senator Morgan's patriotism and ex-
ecutive capacity, displayed when last
chairman of the committee on foreign
affairs-worthily succeeding Perry Bel
mont, grandson and Granddaughter of
the two great American commodores-
would make him rather a candidate
for the union than of the south. Should
William c. Whitney decline to be New
Yorlx's standard bearer there is no NOM
inee this state would sooner embrace
than Morgan.
His, campaign would call for re-
newed cry of America for Americans
Invested of the race and religious fanat-
icism which tinctured the cry when first
prominently made for Fillmore and Don
elson, and later for Bell and Everett
Whitney, when secretary of the navy
displayed an American feeling coequal
with that of Morgan, and his name would
be New York's first preference.
ut seems evident that foreign analrs
are to more largely figure i'm the ap-
preaching campaign than purely domes-
tic matters such as finance. tariff and
currency. The Monroe doctrine and Gu
ban intervention, with perhaps annex
alton. are the burning political topics
of the hour and deeply interest our cleo
tors, and especially those of them who
comprise what is called the silent vote.
"As against the tool of manufacturers.
Mckinley, or the arrogant and unmag
netic Reed, or the mediocre Allison, or
the aged and automatic Morton, such a
truly American candidate as Whitney
or. failing him. Morgan would possess
enormous popular strength. And partic-
ularly so if republican senators continue
to ally themselves with British or Span
ish influences. Yet candidate or not.
Senator Morgan is. at this political cri-
sis, pet of the patriotic democracy and
a general idol as q statesman"
