THE GOLD STANDARD STRIKES
THE ALLAN Ia JOURNAL.

Elk Secretary Hoke Smith has re
turned from Washington and thrown
himself into his private business with
great energy. In addition to his law
practice he will take an active part in
the management of the Atlanta Jour
nal, and although he has been at home
but two days. he has already made his
policy felt in the conduct of the paper.
Coincident with his return the an
nouncement is made that a sweeping
reduction of all salaries paid in the
Journal Office has been made. The re-
duction is to the extent Of 20 per cent,
and, as stated, applies to every salary
paid by the Journal, from the lowest
to the highest. The announcement of
the cut fell as a complete surprise to
all the employees. While similar cuts
have been made all over the country
as a result of the contraction caused
by the gold standard, none of the EN-
ployees of the Secretary's establish
ment expected a stroke so near at home.
The reduction went into effect yes

POSTOFFICE, TELEGRAPH AND
TELEPHONE IN EUROPE.
8ec'y G @, F. A

Taking the whole Of Europe together,
the eminent statis5ician, M. g. Muthall,
finds the average telegraph rates to be
about half of ours, and the average
Unit cost Of the mail service about
double what it is here, which suggests
public here as we'll as in Europe we
can run it at half the average European
cost, if we try; but when the service is
public there and private here, it costs
the water have to pay. If the rule
should hold in the case Of the telegraph
and telephone, public ownership would
give US rates ab lut one quarter the size
of those in fashion at present-the tele
graph tariff would slump" like the
ladies' sleeves when dealers have sold
the dear world a full stock of balloons.
Even if we suppose that public owner
ship here would do no more than re
duce our telegraph and telephone rates
to the European level, it would save
our people more than half what they
now pay for wire service. The gross
receipts of the telegraph and telephone
in the United States amount to about
sixty millions a year, A postal tele
graph would save the people the
profits that admittedly go to the
telegraph and telephone monopolies,
plus the profits that are not stated as
such, plus the savings effected by the
co ordina ion Of the telegraph and tele-
phone with each other and with the
postoffce, and by abolishing the wastes
and big salaries of the corporations
comparisons with other countries and
estimates of actual cost here combine
to show that it is a mild proposition to
affirm that the people could save more
than half the money they pay to these
monopolies.
The expenditure by the nation OF
two or three hundred thousand dol
lars at the proper times for patents,
and 35 millions in telegraph and long
phone construction, and the further
expenditure of 40 or so millions by
cities and towns for municipal tele-
phone systems, would have made the
people the owners of a better system
of wire communication than that now

"Te Did It Unto Me ,

A woman styled Sister Dora gave up
her life to nursing sick people. At the
head of her bed a bell was fixed by
which sufferers could summon her at
any hour Of the night. AS she rose
at the sound of the signal she used to
murmur these words, as if they were
a charm: 1.-The Master is come and
calleth for thee"
It was as if the sick sufferer faded
away and in the couch she saw the
face that was once marred with the
worlds anguish. Christ's face across
her fancy came, and gave the battle to
her hands.
O name above every name, be not
ONLY the burden of III song, but the

owned by the telemonopolies under a
capltalJz 4tion of more than 200 mil
lions, would have saved them at least
80 millions of tolls a year on present
business, and over 800 millions from
the start to the end of 1895.
The fine record of the public tele-
graph IN Europe as compared with the
private system in England prior to187O
was a chief cause of England's determ-
inatlon to adopt the postal system.
The English government went to work
in a very scientific way to ascertain
which plan was the best. It appointed
Frank Ives S5udmore, one of the secre-
taries of the British postchce and a
man OF high character and fac abili-
ties, TO examine into the workings of
the German, French, Belgian, and
other public systems, and compare
them with the results of private own
ershlp IN England. He carried out his
commission in a very able and impair.
tlal manner. HIS reports Q866, 1869,
together with the corroborative evi,
dence introduced to the telegraph com
mittee of the Commons, constituted an
overwhelming demonstration of the
superiority of the governmental plan,
and became L of the main causes of
the passage Of the English bill for the
public ownership of the telegraph,
which became law in 1868 Prof. Frank
Parsons, in The Arena.

Gus and illustrious.
How strong then is the obligation
upon us to make it known to the mil
lions who are still unacq tainted with
it. Having ourselves been led to real
ize its preciousness and power, we
should be eager to tell it to all who are
sitting in darkness, and in the region

ACTS II.
aNUlH was the commission of Christ
~ to the disciples who endued with
power at Pentecost. Toe promise was
that they should be endued with power
after that the Holy Gospel was come
upon upon them. And having received
their commission they at Once pro
ceeded to its execution. And the first
testimony given by Peter was mar
7alOus in It's effects Tee multitudes
which heard his testimony were pricked
to the heart, and the same day three
thousand souls YER added to the in
FAINT church. And the Lord added to
the Church daily such as should be
saved. The subject matter Of this tes
timony was Christ and HIS ~redeeming
irtue and the power of His regurrec

Way was Sne p@cuEar vocation of
} early disciples is our vocation. We
are to be witnesses for our Lord, espe-
Ci8IIy after we have been brought into
possession of heart purity. Whenever
We have opportunities we must tell
the pleasing story" of redeeming love.
We must declare that we know Of the
cleansing virtue of the Redeemer's
blood
What we have felt and seen
With confidence we tell,
And publish to the sons of men
Tne signs InfAllIble."
And the H ly Ghost will give sane
ton to our testimony, making it eff9c-
\tual to the salvation of those to whom
Gtis given.
In these days there is a great temp
tation to keep silence, or, if not wholly
to keep silence, at least to avoid the
use Of specific terms, and so avoid the
criticism and censure Of those who do
not accrGdit the doctrine of entire sane
tIic8tion. But we must neither be 81
lent nor indefinite as to the use of
terms. G Dis terms as found in His

refOrmers to unite, but l did not dream
that an effort for reform would be at,
tempted inside of either n of the old
parties, for reforms never take place
inside old Organiza ions. In the whole
catalogue of blunders 10 one was so
great as the attempt of our reform
leaders to get reform inside either one
of the old rotten hulks-partICularly
the attempt for reform inside the
Democratic party, which had shame
fully dlsregarded its sacred pledges l n
the last campaign. Had loaded the
country with an enormous bonded In
debtedness and had closed the minis to
silver. How could our leaders suppose
that the people would have any conf
dence in such a party7 But now the
blunder has been committed the only
thing the refOrmers a now do IS to
bring down Sewall, who does not stand
for reform, and let Bryan and Watson,
who are genuine reformers, make the
race. If Watson is defeated in this
campaign the Populist party will die
and the country will be turned over to
the same two old parties Ina have
brought this republic go neal its end.

cratic EditOr.
Following is an extract from a speech
delivered in Atlanta, Ga, by Mr..
Blackburn, editor of the Atlanta Daily
Commercial, one of the leading Demo-
cratic papers of Georgia. He said:
Il wouldn't give Tom Watson for
the whole State of Maine. He has more
sense n a minute than S3wall has in a
calendar year. Better still, he is a
Georgian, and as such ! am proud to
join him in common battle. Next to
my love for the glorious Womanhood
OF my State, l would raise my voice in
defense Of the sturdy and chivalrous
manhood of my section who barred
their breasts to the storm of battle, and
whole empty sleeves and tOttering
frames speak in silent yet sad elCq fence
Of their patriotism, their honor and
their loyalty. Great applauge)
1T is this class of people who are
supporting Watson.
Il congratulate the people on the
fact that the name Populist, in Geor
gia, is nc longer a badge of o]pprobrium.
(Applause) The rank and file of that
party represent the basis of true man
hood in Georgia, alike with the agri
cultural masses that form the great
conquaging column Now is the time
to make one magnificent, III conquer
able army Of the people of Georgia
Vote for Bryan and Watson is the
way <heers.) l appeal TO the fer
minded element of my party, join m9
in this devout consummation Of a fond
hope.
IF we can applaud the eloquent
young orator Of the Platte, surely il
would not be discreditab!e in US to
shout for che brilliant young commoner
Of the Savannah. CCheers,)
Let US elec5rify the Union with this
pair of eloquent young patriots and
show to all the world that this is a bat
tie of patriots against money-a fight
of soul against gold. (Applause)
l believe IN being sincere. When
I am dead I want no greater distinc-
ton than to have it said of M that l
was a stranger to hypocracy and lived
the life Of absolute sincerity. ZAP

Turning to Mr.. Watson, Mr.. Black
burn said:
Devoted friend of my bosom !
Courageous champion of the peoples
rightel Royal offender of all that is
true to manly convictions! offer you
my hand"
Mr.. Watson who was seated near
grasped the pre- If red hand, when Mr..
Blackburn continued:
Come veal or woe; come sunshine
or shadow; corne prosperity or adver-
sity. l pledge my faith in this inspir
ing presence, that I confront the criUi
cism of every unreasonable partisan in
my party, and face the censure
of every political trader in Geor-
