The Atlanta constitution., 1900-01-01

tude for the purpose Of teaching the
public another "object lesson" and all
our gold standard friends would be say
ing, "We told you SOL" But the facts
are far different. The collapse was COIN
cident with the discussion and adoption
of a gold standard measure, and with
the export of gold in the face of large
supposed balance of trade due from
Europe. We have here all the symp-
toms of 1898, save the determination
of the magnates to allow matters to
take their own course. These mag
mates know very well that a panic now
would prove disastrous to all their po-
litical calculations.
But the collapse of last week will
prove to be more far-reaching in its
effects than casual observers would
imagine. 1t has put at least tenn
porary end to the rise in prices, ana
the losses that have resulted and the
confusion following so sudden and un-
expected development, have had So
bering effect in all directions.
Sensible people are asking themselves
whether this keen demand for money
and the evil results of a lack Of 1t
would be modified under the operations
of bimetallism. To that question
there is but one answer, and those who
are the victims of the money famine
in Wall street are beginning to per-
ceive what that answer is.

Corndodgers and Flour Fixin's.

Some of the writer's in the newspa-
pers appear to be about to engage III a
discussion as to the relative nutritive
value of the food products of wheat
and those of corn.
We do not perceive any grounds for
a discussion. Corn meal properly
ground and properly cooked, not
only provides a great number of del
icacies, but is as palatable ana as
strengthening in its palmer forms as
wheat bread. Much of the flour that
we get nowadays is adulterated with
corn meal, and, as a matter of fact.
maize will make flour that is hardly
10 be detected from the wheat product.
1t IS to be presumed that corn meal
IS unpalatable to those who have had
no experience in its preparation: but
on the other hand, what is more un-
palatable or more indigestible than a
badly cooked biscuit?

Expansion at the South.

From The Washington Post.
We find floating about in the newspa-
pers a great many Communications or the
address delivered at Buffalo. N. y. the
other day by Mr.. Clark Howell, OF the
Atlanta Constitution. A travelling gen
tlemar gave his views to The Posts
special commissioner quite recently. ana
vas thus reported in our edition of Sun
day, the oath instant:
1.-THE speech of Editor Clark Howell at Buff
falo the other day reveals the real sentiment
Of the south on the expansion question: said
Mr.. q. Nj. Currie, Of New YORK. at the SHOie
ham.
''.My business causes me to travel IN near
" every southern state. and 1t Is In strict
accord with truth to declare that an over
whelming majority of the intelligent people
of that section are in favor OF holding onto
our possessions in the east. They look AT
the question from a business standpoint, and
argue that an extension of our oriental trade
is bound to benefit the cotton planters and
manufacturers of the south. But in addi-
tion TO the commercial argument they do
not take stock in the Atkinsonian Idea that
we should abandon the Philippines TO the
natives after the expenditure OF so much
treasure ana the loss of so many lives. Ed
itor Howell voiced the real sentiment OF his
cOuntrymen IN eloquent EH5iiSh, anu VII sAAS
question he represents them far more accurately
than their political IDOL Colonel w. J.
Bryan "
All of which is no doubt true The
south is now reaping. in proportion, the
hulk of the prosperity which has come
to the country, and we know, by unqueS-
tionable testimony, that souuhern 1nduS-
tries are prospecting through our expan-
sion policy more than any others. Only

disorder and tumult-that is subject
for discussion, and the democratic par

be made the condition precedent TO
everything done to that end.

TWO VIEWS OF THE PHILIPPINES AND
RECENT ADDRESS OF Mr.. HOWELL
Doesn't Hang Together.

From The Charleston News and Courier
Clark Hover. editor of The Atlanta
Constitution. made a speech in Buffalo,
y. Y. last week, in which he came out
strong for the policy of expansion, which
IS the policy of the Mckinley administra-
ton. We have not been converted by
Mr.. HowelPs argument. but it has made
a favorable impression upon the imperial
lists who are ready to welcome all re-
cIuits. The very able and embarrassing
ard sometimes truthful Washington Post
says that ''the south is now reaping, in
proportion, the bulk of the prosperity
which has come to the country, and We
know. by urquestionable testimony. that
southern industries are prosperins through
our expansion policy more than any
others" That is a good enough story to
tell the marikes, or the Gridiron Club,
but nobody will believe 1t, of course, who
remembers anything of the genesis of the
war with SpaiIA and how a struggle for
humanity speedily drifted in a contest
for outside markets for American goods.
But The Post describes Mr.. Howelrs
speech as very Intelligent presentation
of the case" from criminal point OF
View. Mr. Mckinley having described the
war in the Philippines as criminal as-
gression." And then The Post puts Mr..
Howell to shame as follows:
II the southern people are so welded TO
expansion. and distinctly its benefciaries,
why do southern publicists and newspapers
unite in opposing the party whose policy
makes expansion possible? Why do they
applaud and support with ell their energy
the men who oppose expansion. and who,
III they had their way. would obliterate the
conditions under which the south is now
reveling in prosperity? 1t is all very well
for gentlemen to issue proclamations or de-
liver powerful addresses lauding a policy
which enriches them, but 1t is neither beau
tiful nor consistent for those same gentlemen
TO antagonize politically the authors of that
policy and to fervently advocate its i'm
placable traducers The Post is the souths
ardent and consistent friend The Post
retoices in the south's betterment and progress.
But we confess inability to sympathize
with the souths noisy laudation of a policy
the champions of which it industrlously an
tagonizes.
Mr.. Howell is committed TO Bryan, who
is opposed to expansion. He stands by
Mr.. Bryan's IN,rty. which will do its
most effective fighting in the next presl-
dertial campaigI upon the anti-expansion
issue. He does not agree with himself.
but when Mr.. Howell was speaking in
Buffalo he was speaking in Buffalo, and
when he is electing Bryan he is eIectIns
him in Georgia. There Is a great differ
ence in the point OF view and in the IN
clinations OF an audience. Happy the man
in these parlous times who can catch
public sentiment "a-comin' and a-gwine."

Why They Went to the Rescue.

Commenting on the recent collapse
of values in Wall street. The New
York Sun thinks there is something
humiliating In the spectacle of com
bination of financial magnateS aided
by the secretary of the treasury of the
United States, solemnly taking counsel
together to shield q lot of stock specu-
lators from the losses which their own
folly had brought upon them"
This may be so, but a great many
people who have had their eyes opened
by recent events have discovered that
the stability which was promised
them as the result of the gold stand
ard is a mere matter of moonshine. We
may be sure that the financial mag
mates were not actuated by motives OF
benevolence or philanthropy in rush
ing to the aid of the spectators. They
were intent on business of the most
important character. They were bent
on preserving ther financial theories
from further collapse.
If the democratic party had been in
power and if bill for bimetallism had
passed the house, these financial mag
mates would have allowed the bottom
to fall out, as they did in 1893, when
Cleveland was carrying out his con-
tract to wreck the democratic party.
If they had allowed matters to take
ther natural course last week. the re-
suit of the passage of the gold stand
ard mesure in the house would have
precipitated a panic as far-reaching as
that which occurred in 1893. as the
result of closing the Indian mints to
silver.
But in this matter the gold standard
was involved. Its "soundnesS and
stability" received very black eyes in
the collapse of last week, and II the
crisis had proceeded heddlong to
panic, the business interests of the
country would have asked themselves
if the gold standard Is what 1t is
cracked up to be, and they would have
found the answer in the general con-
ditions that go hand in hand with a
widespread depression Of values.
There Is another reason why the
financiers came to the rescue
of the spectators and why they VIII
continue to do SO, even though they
should lose millions by the operation.
A panic now, falling on time of COM
parative prosperity, would be the un-
doing of the republican party, and
would destroy the whole programme of
the Mckinley syndicate for the next
campaign. Therefore the financial
magnates, great and small, Will come
TO the rescue of the spectators just as
often as it is necessary.
But we should behold a different
spectacle and hear a different tale if
the collapse had been coincident with
the discussion and adoption OF, meas
ure looking to bimetallism. We should
see the magnates take different atti-

into ruin; the Coxey yell for more
money is heard in Wall street more
frequently than ever before: and In
the face of balance of trade in our
favor for the one month of Novem-
ber of $54,00O.OOO We are sending out
gold in rapidly increasing amounts.
We hope and trust that these omi-
nous signs will pass away without cul-
minating in the troubles to which they
point; but the fact remains that the
supply of money cannot be larger than
its source, and the sources of gold are
fortuitous, accidental and uncertain.
In addition to the gold standard. we
have a currency system that has an
invariable tendency to drain money
from all parts of the country to New
York and to keep it locked up there,
especially at time when there is the
greatest demand for it.

Where a new Calvary near Thee stands

Thrilling from start to star!
The voices DER the world so wide
OF men for whom Christ died?

Behold, o Christ. Thy world!
Here shineth Love so sweet:
Here Love may trace by Thy sweet grace
The print of Thy dear feet:
Here Love doth patiently abide
Still to be cruSified.
And daily on the Tree
Loves willing hands are nailed;

Yea, Love is here, and still VIII be,

Yet from the world cry

In q NutSllnll.

1t is not often that the injurious
effects of the gold standard are more
tersely described than they are in the
dispatch from Bombay in todays
Constitution. In that dispatch it is
stated that 'the Indian congress has
declared it's dissatisfaction with the
currency measures of the government,
alleging that these have the effect OF
depreciating the value of the savings
of the masses, virtually enhancing rents
and debts and injuriously affecting
manufactures.
The currency measures OF the Indian
government consist of the closing OF
the mints to silver, and the substitu-
ton of the gold standard for the silver
standard, most drastic proceeding.
which among other things, precipitated
a famine In the midst of plenty. The
masses could not buy food with the
metal which for centuries they had
used as money.
Our own people have had taste of
some of the evils of the gold standard
tackled on to the most unscientific cur
rency system the world has ever seen.
The Spanish war and the short wheat
crops of Europe and Asia have lifted
us momentarily above the effects OF
the gold standard-the wheat famine by
increasing the price of wheat and there
by placing more money in circulation.
and the war by the immense cash dis
bursements that would not have been
made.
To this extent, Mr.. McKinley's ad-
ministration has been extremely fortu-
nate. and the people have had consid-
erable relief; but there are various
ominous signs in the sky. We have
now a vast aggregation Of concerns
over capitalized to such an enormous
extent that only a breath of wind is
necessary to send them all tumbling
