Telephone No. 6. AN BAST WALK-OVER It Is evident that free silver Is going to split the Democratic party all to pieces, In spite of all the efforts of the adminis tration to keep It In line. It is a signi ficant fact that It was only a few days after President Cleveland addressed his letter to the business men of Chicago, In which he made It clear that the busi ness prosperity of the country depend ed upon a steadfast adherence to a sound mony policy, that the announcement was made that the Democratic party of Illi nois Is wedded beyond recall to the free silver lunacy and will declare for It in Its state convention to be held this month, The president may foe ever so earnest In hit desire to save his party from this mistake; but the Indications are strong that ths free silver Democrats of the West and Couth are strong enough to control Its action In the fall elections, and that ones more It Is going to per petrate on of those colossal blunders which have made Its history a pictur esque succession of colossal failures. It Is going to commit Itself to free silver In the West and South Just In the nick of " time; Just as the foaming crest of the Silver wave la ffbout to break and dash itself to harmless spray on the looming Shores of an era of rising prices and growing prosperity. Before the national Conventions shall assemble in 1S36, the free silver delusion will have evaporated In the general absorption of the masses of. the people In the revived industrial and business activities. Dut the mis chief will already have been done. The Democrat! a party, If it maintains its national organization at all, will be forc ed to go Into the presidential campaign with Its Eastern and Western camps di vided and at war upon thesnoney issue, after having forced the money Issue to ths front as the controlling one In na tional .polities. The Republican party has only to maintain an unbroken front In favor of sound money to have an easy walk-over In ths next presidential elec tion. Of course the prominence of Secretary Carlisle In his sliver tour has st-t the Democratic gossips talking about him for a presidential candidate. It Is curious how quickly people forget, or how ll'.tlc they reflect upon the record of men when they propose them for that nomination. It Is less than six months since "Secre tary Carlisle was making himself the laughing stock of the country on the currency question, sending one bill to congress today and withdrawing It and sending another tomorrow, and all to get turned down by his own party Just as fast as the roll could be called on them. And now they are talking about him for the presidential nomination. There Is perhaps, one important feature that he -would supply as a presidential can didate Just now, and that is that every body could And something in his record with which he could agree; for he has been on all sides of the great flnanclul questions whlcb are now the important. Issues of the day. Even the veteran Democrat, Senator Palmer, of Illinois, has pranced to the front to suggest Mr. Carlisle for the presidency, The f ict that any Democrat Is seriously consid ering the secretary In that connection, shows the desperate straits of the party for a leader. It has generally been supposed that "hard mes" leads to hard drinking, but the British statistics do not bear out the supposition very logically. Thus, In 1890, ths amount expended for consump tion Of. liquors per capita was about M18.W, while In 1SH the sum per capita had fallen to 1117.75. On the other hand, the figures for the decade show that while drinking has decreased to some extent since the "flush" year of IS), the general tendency during the past ten years has been to spend more for liquor; as In 18 the per capita expenditures was but 116.X ; so that In spite of the hard times the drinking Is greater than It was ten years ago. In the United States, while with the bard times the con sumption of some kinds of llqutrs, such as distilled liquors from fruit, decreased, the general tendency was In the direction of increased drinking, so that not only da the figures of 18 show largely In creased consumption over tea figures of imi, but the per capita consumption Is also larger than It was In lstt.

BUSKVOaS "would BE PARALYZED. A Business Man's View of the Unlimited Coinage or silver. Af;nta Jourr.al (Secretary Hoke S.rlth's paper): The following letter has been received In Atlanta from the heaJ of the greatest dry goods house In the world: , . ,'(,w york, May 15. The panic of 1S93 was c.uiecdi by the lour inai me suver nnrnhiM of the United States were about to bring the country to a silver banls. This fear led primarily to ab normal gold exports and to hoarding of gold. As gold disappeared the panla grew. When the panic became general all kinds of money were noarueu iim out much discrimination, because many persons feared that (ill flnanolal Institu tions might be ruined, and In unreason ing a'.arm they thought that any kind of money would bo sifer than a bank ac count. When the bill repealing the silver purchasing clause of the Sherman act parsed the house "of representatives by a vote so overwhelming that It seemed certain that the bill would ultimately be come a law the panic subsided. The very day after the vote In the house of repre sentatives the situation chunged radical, iy. For the first time in four months money was offered to merchants, and tho acute phase of the panic was at an end. Depression, .however, continued while the senate debated the -bill, but signs of recuperation were not wanting, and a distinct Improvement began when the renato concurred with the house in the repeal of the silver purchasing clause. The improvement was stopped by ths government program for radical changes In the tariff. Every merchant knows the discouragements and lossos of the last two years of uncertain and full ing prices. Now we have reached the bottom; we have ifelt the effect of the tarlfT; prices which have been abnormally low are beginning to Improve and the out look for business Is encouraging. Shall we invite a fresh panic by con sidering free silver coinage in the United States without the concurrence of other nations? Nothing can be more certain, than that free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 by the United States alone would re sult In a scramble for gold. This would cause an Immediate contraction of loans and a general financial panic would In evitably ensue, business would then be paralysed once more, and another sea son of calamity would be upon us. British, German, French, Holland and Belgium investors in American coin and currency bonds, where payment In gold was not specified on the face of the bond, would rush them Jnto Wall street to b sold for gold before the free silver slump to 00 per cent money went Into effect, and this would powerfully h:lp to sweep away the last gold piece In the United Btutea. Those Who wish to see better prices for all commodities must remember that ths consuming power of the people depends on the lr earnings. The depression which always follows a panic throws many per sons out of employment, and for a long time after the panic many remain unem plyed. Wo are now slowly recovering from the panic of 1KOI; every month the consuming power of the people Increases, Let this consuming power steadily grow and It will soon catch up with any tem porary excess of the world's supply of commodities and thus surely and safely produce hlntier prices. Check this con suming power by a panic and a vast In crease. In the number of the unemployed will depress prices more than the free coinage of sliver can raise them. Free coinage of silver by tho concur rent action of the great nations would, we believe, be of decided advantage to the world. Sine the United Slates has ceased to take care of a large proportion of the world's sliver that Is, within a year and a half, bimetallic sentiment In France and Germany has Increased more than a decade before, and the silver ques tion In those countries now commands the attention of their foremost statesmen. Let tho good work go on; let the Ku ropean nations struggle with the silver question without relie-f from the United State's, and .the prospect of en Interna tional agret'ment will rapidly Improve. Hut If the United States tries to solve the sliver iiueatloii alone she will at once relieve other nations of a pressing problem which they now see can be safe ly met only by concurrent action of the commercial powers. Free coinage of sliver at the ratio of l to 1 by the United State's alone would In vite, panic, calamity ami disorder. It would put this country onto a monometal lic silver basis, and by driving gold out of use would abruptly nd dangerously contract the volume of our currency. We write this In view of the announce ment by the press that a monetary con vention will be held In Memphis toward the end of May. If you should be pres ent at the convention we hope you will oppose any experiment which will be likely to plunge us Into commercial dis aster and distress even greater than that from which we are now emerging. T1I.K 11. 11. ULAFLIN COMPANY, John t'latln, President, THE CHAZI3 WANING. Chicago Tribune. Many of the shrewdest observers among administration oltK'lals now de'clare there are signs that the silver boom Is about to burst. Reports received from the south especially show that the erase Is dying out. The general belief among adminis tration leaders Is that the mania will spend Its force before congress meets, and will be In the background before the meeting of the national conventions next year. Ite-ports from Kentucky Indlcats that Senator Joe Ulackburn made ths mlstuke of his life by committing him. self to free coinage so early in the day. It Is raid the Impetuous Senator has ot late found the ground slipping from under his feet, and the Judications are that Governor Hrcwn will come out on top In the senatorial race. The Louisville con vention ut the end of the month Is ex pected by the administration to do much toward putting Kentucky Into the sound money camp, which, of course', means ths discomfiture of HlackUurn and hit cheap money allies. Much the same re ports are received from Virginia ana North Carolina, though further south the silver men still hav things aUthelr own way. Ex-Kopresenlatlve John O. Pendleton of West Virginia Is nrmly con. vlnctd the silver crate In the middle southern states Is on the wane. He says: "I think Orover Cleveland, handicapped though he is by a candidacy for a third term. Is by remon of bis financial views the strongest man the democrats could nominate."
