THE GOLD CERTIFICATES.

The demand for small bins-a demand
that is much greater than the supply
shows better than any argument can, the
necessity for a better currency system
Gold and silver can be had in almost any
amount that is desired, but people dom
want to handle either of them in large
sums.
With the view of improving the fnan-
cial situation somewhat the Secretary of
the Treasury decided to issue gold certifi-
Gates. The issue of these certificates was
suspended by Secretary Carlisle in April
1898 At that time the financial situation
was very far from being encouraging
There was gloom in financial circles The
gold reserve had fallen below 800 900, 900.
and Secretary Carlisle, as a matter of pre-
caution, decided to stop issuing the GER
tifcates.
There is plenty of gold in the treasury
now, however, and Secretary Gage is re-
spending TO the very general demand of
the country in putting in circulation more
paper currency, which will be a great con-
venience in moving the crops. Unfortun-
ately, however, the certificates cannot be
issued in denominations of less than $40.
But it Is believed that the banks will take
the certificates and give up some of their
greenbacks and national bank notes. In
that way, it is expected, bills of sman de-
nominations will get into circulation in
sufficient quantities to relieve the distress
caused by the lack of paper currency.
The treasury holds $2l5OO0OO0 in gold
and the New York banks have in their
vaults $1l5,OO0OcO. The treasury ana the
New York banks therefore hold about one
half of all the gold in the country.
The Republican party has practically
promised to enact legislation at the APP
preaching session of Congress for the
reformation of the currency, but the
chances are that they will make no effort
to have The bill passed. They pretend to
be working at the currency problem, but
there are good reasons for thinking that
they are not anxious to attack it serious
ly before the result of the next presiden-
tial contest is known. Therefore it is prob
able that there will be no currency re-
form until after the next national cleo,

THE SUGAR REFINERY QUESTION.

The question as to whether the refining
of sugar would be a paying industry In
this city will be discussed at the Board
of Trade rooms at noon to-day. It is a
very important one. Even those of our
business men and public spirited citizens
who have not as yet taken much interest
in it should make an effort to be present.
1t will be presented by a gentleman who
has had practical experience in making
sugar from South Georgia and Florida
syrup, and who has been a successful
sugar producer in Florida. What our bus
mess men will hear therefore will be in
tensely practical, not theoretical.
If a sugar refinery here would be a pay
ing institution il would be a great thing
for the city and all of Georgia and North
Florida tributary to it. A refinery would
| offer an opportunity for the employment
of many people and the investment of a
very considerable amount of money 1t
would add greatly to the city's wealth and
importance and make South Georgia one
of the richest sections of the country.
1t seems to us that the railroads should
take a profound interest in this matter
If what Is claimed for sugar making in
this state can be accomplished it wouldn't
be a matter of much concern to them that
the output of lumber and naval stores is
decreasing instead of increasing If sugar
can be made a profitable crop in South
Georgia and North Florida the people of
those sections need not worry about the
low price of cotton.
Although many of Savannahs leading
business men are away on their vacations
there are enough of them here to give the
representatives, of the refinery movement
a good audience. The subject is an inter
esting one and the audience TO hear it
discussed ought to be a large one.

TRuST STOCkS

The discussion OF the trust question has
had one good effect. 1t has prevented the
putting of large amounts of the shares Of
trusts on the market. Except in a few
cases in which there were no doubts as 10
the intrinsic value of the shares it has been
about impossible to market the common
stocks of trusts. People who have money
to invest have been, and still are. afraid of
them. They have been led TO believe
that they possess very little value.
There is no doubt that many, if not a
majority. of the trusts are greatly over
capitalized. The purpose of a great many
of those who went into the combina lions
called trusts did so with the expectation
of selling out at the first favorable oppor-
tunity. Only a few have had such an op-
portunity. The public hasn't been so eager
TO purchase the trust stocks as it was hop
ed It would
1t is source of satisfaction that such is
the case. In the course of the next year
or two the trusts whose shares are water
ed far beyond their real value will be seek
ing the bankrupt's court. The losers will
be the original owners of the properties
which were Joined 10 form the trusts. They
have been compelled TO retain their hold
ings because of the want of a market for
them. When the trusts begin to go to
pieces, therefore, and those which are not
built on q solid foundation will become
bankrupt, the general public will have no
occasion to feel much concern. Its hold
| ngs will be found to be small in COMPARE
son with those of the trust promoters and
the owners of the properties composing the
trusts.
1t is worthy OF notice that within the
last few weeks several trusts have failed
to complete their organizations. and have
been compelled TO abandon their purpose.
They couldn't sell any of their stocks at a
profit, and hence concluded the best thing
for the different sections OF them TO do
was TO travel along in the ruts in which
they had been travelling before It was
thought they might be the means of max
ing their owners rich quickly. Most trusts
have hard road to travel before reaching
firm financial ground.

NOT A POPULAR SUGGESTION.

The New York Times In its issue OF last
Sunday said: To the happy suggestion
that W. ]. Bryan may take himself out Of
the way betimes and let his party nomi-
nate some Democrat who can be elected
there stand opposed several dishearten-
ing considerations"
II was stated some days ago on the al
legged authority of several southern poll
ticlans that il Mr.. Bryan became convinc-
ed that there was any other Democrat
who would stand a better chance Of be
ing elected president he would willingly
stand aside. There isn't the least prob
ability however. that Mr. Bryan will
reach the conclusion that there is another
Democrat who could poll more votes .Aaa
he as the party's standard bearer in 800
il is probable that he would willingly do
as much as any other man for
the success of his party. but
the evidences of his popularity
are 100 numerous to permit him
to think that there is another Democrat
who has anywhere near the hold on the
he has
There is no doubt that II the Chicago
platform IS reafirmed Mr.. Bryan is the
man to nominate On that platform he
would undoubtedly poll many more votes
than any other Democrat. And it is prob
able that the fact that Mt Bryan is TO
be the nominee is the chief reason that
there will be few, if any. notifications
made in that platform. He would not be
a strong candidate " the platform Of 1900
were not to be substantially the same as
that of 1895
Mr.. Bryan isn't going to step aside
voluntarily. He believes in himself He
is confident that he is the most popular
man by far in the Democratic party.
That being the case. there is no use of
talking about his withdrawal as a candi-
date for the nomination.
II any considerable number of his party
leaders want to get rid OF him as a can
didate they must work up a much strong
er sentiment against him than there now
exists in the party. 1t is certain that he
is going to stick to his programme just
as long as he can. Unless there shall be
a very great change of sentiment in the
ranks of the Democracy within the next
few months Mr.. Bryan will be the nomi-
nee

The Chicago Times Herald, commenting
on Bishop Turner's proposed emigration of
negroes to Africa under government aus
pieces, says, in part: Admitting that the
negro ought not to have been imported. it
is sufficiently clear that he cannot be de-
ported and kept out of the country. He
is here to stay, and he and the white man
of the South win have 10 dwell together"
Why is it that the white man of the
South" alone must make the best of this
bad condition? Is the negro not to be per-
mitted to live elsewhere in this country
than in the South? Are the white men of
the North going TO meet him at the state
line with eating gun and shoot him 10
pieces" as the Governor of Illinois advo-
Gated some months ago? We have recently
seen, in several instances, that the white
man of the North much prefers to have
the negro remain where the white man of
the South will have to worry along with
him. The white man of the North will
not have the negro in public office; note
the case of that negro counsellor of the
Mayor of Boston. The white man of the
North objects to having the negro live in
the same block or the same neighborhood
with him; note the many instances in
Brooklyn of late. The white man of The
North will not permit the negro to become
a skilled laborer or 10 engage in skilled la
Dor if he can help 1t; note all the Northern
labor unions. The white man of the
North even objects to the negro doing
common. manual labor by which to earn
his bread; note the case of Pana, III, and
other similar incidents of recent date. Are
these things indicative of the underlying
reason why, according to the Northern
view. the negro and the white man of the
South will have to dwell together"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Nashville American (Dem) says:
"The antitrust laws in several of the
states. while most probably without value
as far as their legal features go, are never
tholess having the effect of making cap
italists hesitate before putting their money
into trust organizations. They prefer to
go into something else, where there is less
chance for lawsuits and against which
their is not SUCH high state of public
sentiment, In Chicago, In the past week,
several trusts which were booked for for
nation have failed to materialize. Among
these are the chair trust, the laundry
trust, the thresher trust and the plow
trust."
The Memphis Commercial-Appea Dem)
says: Tom Edison says he believed in
a higher intelligence because when water
freezes it floats on the top instead of sink
ing TO the bottom 8 other crystals do.
He concludes from this that there must
be higher intelligence kindly disposed to-
ward man because If the ice sunk ii would
not melt and soon all the water would be
frozen up. Mr.. Edison must have been
pretty well convinced before making his
scientific discovery AS a convincing evil
dence of the existence of a Supreme Be
ing, floating ice is of small value. The
Kentuckian would rather base his faith ON
the fact that the mint bed fourishes near
a cool spring"
The Philadelphia Press (Rep) has this
pointed comment: AN Atlanta boy, who
is a member of the bar at II, Is being
put forth as one of the products of which
Georgia may we'll be proud. The fact that
the Georgia bar admits such an underling
