Mr. Crisp says there must be no straddling in the Democratic National Convention on the silver question, Mr. Crisp is right. The party that straddles is in danger of being split wide open. Star.

It is a good paper and its editor is fol lowing the proper course when he advises every one to. weigh well the financial question before joining either side. The silverites are shouting, free and unlimited coinage of silver, on and exact equality with gold. No favor to be shown either metal and in the next breath they exclaim the parity must be as 16 to 1. How consistent! Mr. William H. Harvey, author of "Coin's Financial School" and J. Lawrence Laughlin, professor of Polit ical Economy in the Chicago Universi ty, will have" a joint debated on the financial question, in Chicago to morrow evening. While we did not fully endorse the income law, we think it unfortu nate that it should be discovered un constitutional. It would certainly have been better to tax the wealth of the country rather than put the whole burden upon the poor. .The silly attempts of the New York Evening Post to pervert , and misun derstand Coin's book by pronouncing it "a palpable fraud." is well character ized by the Augusta Chronicle as "pathetic puerility."

" ' The Philadelphia Mafiufa&urer, (Rep.) says: "Any man who has studied arith metic only so far as long division, can perceive that to destroy half the standard money of the world jnust necessarily be to force down prices, The American people know that such destruction was accomplished in 1873, and everybody knows that prices have been falling ever since." If the above be true, then do we not want free coinage, for it is an un disputed fact, that since 1873 more than 500,000,000 silver dollars have been coined, whereas from the foun dation of the government to 1873, only a little more than 8,000,000 were coined. If then, as above stated, the act of 1873, which increased the coinage of silver 400 per cent, per annum, produced lower prices, would it not be reasonable to expect still lower prices should we coin silver to an unlimited extent? INCOME TAX UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The Supreme Court has handed I down a decision against the income I tax, Justice Shiras having cast the ... , m,:! decidiner vote aeainst the law. This is only another instance which goes to show the incompleteness of our law making department. Congress spent 8 dayspver the provisions of this law, and in order finally that it migh go through, other business was neglected, and all to no good end. Why could We not submit laws of such a nature to the Supreme Court, prior to their passage, thus avoiding all this worry and -expense. The same trouble is being experienced in our own State A crowd of ignorant, or worse, men are colle&ed in the Legislature and pass laws, the effect of which they know or care little. Some check should be found to protect the citizen who stays at home. THE SAME OLU STORY. The Asheville Register is evidently I edited by a man who loves a joke.

Our Gold Bug friend sends us the 1 t following' m answer to the vigorous UUI """f0"3 :7T "I wrote you that you would you tnat you never see the free coinage of silver because it is oppposed by the follow ing classes, viz.: The people who have money lent out. The people who have money laid up. The people who work for wages. The people who !elieve in an hon est dollar. and because it would benefit only, The people who owe money, and temporarily. The people who own land. If, as is claimed by the friends of sUver' the Ple who are 10 debt can carry an election then perhaps we may have the free coinage of sil ver or any other scheme to reduce in debtedness, because the average man is generally to be counted upon to vote where his interests lie-but the four classes named above are likely to overbalance at the polls the one dags Gf debtors.

I call attention to this because the silverites boast that they can carry the question with the votes of the debtors and the own ers of land. They cannot.

THE ESCAPE OF WEALTH The overthrow of the income tax is over need. Great and rich corpora tions, by hiring the ablest lawyers in the land and fighting against a petty tax upon superfluity as other men have fought for their liberties and their lives, have secured the exempt- ion of wealth from paying its iust share toward the support of the Government that protects it In accomplishing this they have obtained from the Supereme Court a reversal of its decisions lor thirty years past. More than that, thev have persuaded one of the Judges to reconsider and reverse his own opinion of a month ago. If Justice Shiras had voted as he did on the first hear- ing, the law would have been sus- tained. The people at large will bow to this decision as they habitually do to all the decrees of highest courts, But they will not accept law as jus- tice. No dictum or decision of any court can make wrong right. And it is Aot right that the entire cost of the Federal Government shall rest upon consumption. It is not right that wealth shall pay no more than poverty towards the support of the National Administration.

Eckels, the comptroller of the national cur rencya man drawing a big salary from the government, and whose time should be devoted to the interest of his employers the people has practically fired the first Cleveland campaign gun by making a gold basis speech at Detroit, Michigan. He is one of the army of 200,000 Federal office-holders who, at the command of Grover Cleveland (who appointed him) is obeying the order to fight for the gold standard in this country; and from now until the election of 1896, the war of gold monometallism will be fiercely waged. Raleigh Cau casian. . "A few years ago," says the Atlan ta Constitution, "Secretary Carlise made a ringing speech in favor of the unlimited coinage of silver, in which he denounced with eloquent indigna tion the shylocks and the money grab bers, in whose interest silver was demonetized.

Nobody in the United States is proposing to demonetize silver. Nearly half our coin is silver, and the constant aim of the United States has been not to demonetize it, but to keep it as good as our gold coin and better as it has kept it, than the silver of any free-silver country on earth. Louis ville Courier-Journal Dera. Ex-Speaker Crisp"is not prepared to say that the thinking people of the South would come out, radically for a single silver standard.

Philadelphia Record. ' The Richmond Dispatch says: The "honest money league's" address to the Democrats of Illinois makes a notable qualification of its words when it declares it would be "unwise in pol icy and dangerous to the financial and commercial interests of the coun try to establish or even advocate the free and unlimited coinage of silver without international co-operation at the ratio of 16 to 1." The inference from this statement is that it would be wise policy to advocate the free and unlimited coinage of 16 to 1 if international co-operation could be secured. With great abilities, Secretary Car lisle has also great luck. The cheap money mania has given him the best opportunity of his life to serve his country, and he may be expected to make the most of it. He will speak for the cause of honest money and public credit at Covington, Ky, on the 20th of May: at Memphis, Tenn., on the 22nd: at bofeg Green, Ky., on the 25th, and at Lousville, Ky., on the 28th. His speeches are await ed with great interest in all parts of the country, especially in the South, where they will boubtless have great influence upon public opinion. Phil adelphia Record. While we do not presume to say whether the free coinage of silver would inure to the best interest of the people, we do say that we think that the way the people ol the West and the South are wildiy falling over themselves in a mad rush for free sil ver does not tend toward the best so lution of the money question. This issue is at present the greatest one be fore the people, and if it is to be solv ed so as to secure the greatest good to the people it must be weighed care fully and conscientiously in the scales of common sense and sound judge ment. Davidson Dispatch. Don't amagine that you are alone as a friend to sound money. The frc-e silver craze is not as great as some ma3' suppose. There are many sound money Democrats in the country. They are not talking much, but when the time comes will cast their votes. It will be well for the platform makers not to lose sight of these Demociats when they select their lumber lor building the platform. These Democrats will not vote the Republican ticket; they will not vote the Populist ticket; they may, how ever, refuse to take the hook, if it is baited with the Populist free and un limited coinage worm. The Demo cratic party will lose nothing by standing for sound money. Dem ocrat in Charlotte Observer. It appears as if the free coinage of silver is about to take the country. Its advocates are noisy and aggres ive and the politicians who are op posed to it have nearly all taken to the woods. A good many newspa pers who see in it one of the worst things that could befall the people still stand by their convictions and re fuse to follow the multitude into the danger to which they are leading. These are somewhat lonesome and considerably at a discount now but the day is coining when they will see their vindication and the people who now misjudge them will then respect them for their present integrity and j foresight. It is hard to row even tern-! porarily, against the popular current : but adherence to the truth and right j brings its own reward in time. ! Statesville Landmark- ! Silver lias dropped in value since 1873, just as many other commodities have dropped, because the supply ' of it has increased faster than the de- mand. In 1873 the world's produc-! tion of silver was of the value of $8r,- J 800,000. In 1892, even when meas-r ufed by its lower price per ounce, it " was of the value of $196,459,000, or nearly two and a half times as much In 1870, three years before the de-' monetizarion which the free-silverites claim is alone to blame for the fall in price, all the mines in the world only yielded silver to the value of $52,575,- ' 000, or only about one-fourth of the value of the silver supply of 1892. j There is no commodity whose pro- ' ductjon can be multiplied by four and its previous price maintained un-' less the demand for it is also multi plied by four. Baltimore Sun. . COIN'S JJktLtSIOX ON COINAOE. Lyman J. Gage has publicly de clared that he was never present at any so-called lectures, as is asserted in P-Mn' book "napes 2 ;-i8). His presence there being only a deceit, it may not be amiss to SHppose that the argument used by Coin was entirely mythical. Coin laid down the prop osition that "the commercial value of any commodity depends on supply and demand." Then follows the most extraordinary statement to explain the demand for money: "When the mints of the world are thrown open and the government says, "We will take all the gold and silver that comes," an unlimited de mand is established. The supply is limited. Now, with an unlimited de mand and a limited supply, there is nothing to stop the commercial value of the two metals going up in the market, except the government say ing "Hold on these metals are lor money we fix the value at which they circulate." (p. 27). Of couree, to believe this state ment one must be absolutely ignorant of what a mint does, and the relation of any government to its coinage. A mint does not buy gold and silver to turn into coin. But what is per fectly simple is that opening the mints to free coinage does not furnish un limited demand for gold and silver; it only furnishes a limited demand for one or the other of the two metals, whichever is cheaper as compared with the legal ratio. To coin money does not make a demand for its use it only changes its form, or, so to speak, does it up in a-package for convenient use. Take, for illustra tion, the case of wheat and flour Wheat, being the material out of which flour is made, to merely grind wheat into flour does not constitute the demand for flour. Four is only the form into which wheat put in order to be best marketed and reach the person who will use it. So with gold or silver. They are the materials out of which coins are manufactured at a iiin-.i, ifi-ihC- iorniinto coins does not create any new demand for them, except that arising from the convenience of not weighing and assaying the purchase. It is then an oosoime iaisenoou too to say, as "Coin" said above; "The governments say, "We will take all the silver and gold that comes." Such nonsense is ol a piece with the fiction that Mr. uage was present, both are utter fabrications. The curious application of "Coin's' absurdity to the act of 1873 is that under free coinage of both gold and silver at 16 to 1 before 1873. "an ua limited demand was established" for both gold and silver. The truth was that from 1840 to 1873 there was no demand for silver dollars in the circu lation whatever, and the demand for Silver from 1S53 to 1873, was mainly for subsidiary coins. "Coin" so Ire quenUy turns to the experience of our country prior to 1873 that it will be opportune to put on record here the facts as to the amounts of gold and silver respectively coined at our mints during this time. That is, from the foundation of the United States to 1873 only 8,031, -o :i jn jo suver uoiiar pieces were ever coined. Why? Because the market and legal ratios could not be main tained alike for any length of time Now, if silver was the only unit since 1792, wl.yMid we get on with only $8,03 r, 2 58, doing the business of a great coijintry for eighty years? If gold was not also a unit, why did we coin $1,010,900,314? What was the use of coining such enormous amounts of gold if it was not a unit'as well as silver? - j And these figures show conclusively that free coinage of b th gold and sil ver at 16 to 1, which existed by law in the United Statse from 1834 to 1873, did not create "an unlimited demand," or anything like it, for sil ver dollars.

The speech of Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle at Covington, Ky., Monday on the financial question is a dispassionate and very strong pre sentation of the claims of the sound money men. He clearly shows that the recent panic was a world-wide, not merely a local, monetary distur bance; he incidentally, by his com parisons, makes a good showing for president Cleveland's administration, as against the one oi President Har rison; he outlines the history of gold and silver coinage since the beginning of our government; he exposed many false statements regarding the de monetization of silver in 1873: he de fends his own record on the silver coinage question, whichjhas "been re cently attacked; and shows that the inauguration of the free coinage . of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 will put the country on a basis oi silver mono- metnliisnv drive nnt tr nld ' I tfe prices of the necessaries of life to the farmer, even if it does increase the price of his products, and, finally, bring about a worse derangement of government credit and of the business of the country than has ever before been known. Secretary Carlisle looks at this complicated question from an elevated point of view, as it were, where he has a wide sweep of vision, and his arguments for a sound money are laid down with a force which should be, and doubtless will be, felt in the present agitation of the financial question.
