Cyrus B. Wat son, Democratic candidate for Governor. THE CALAMITY HOWLERS AN SWERED. The advocates of the perpetuation of the gold standard pretend to fear or-do fear that the free coinage of silver would prove a dreadful calam ity to this country; that it would in jure the farmer, the wage earner, the manufacturer, the capitalist in fact, everybody drive gold out of the country and reduce us to a sil ver basis, as China, Japan, Mexico .and some of the Central and South American countries are. While thus asserting, if they be sincere, the as serters are influenced by their fears and by assumptions which have no tangible foundation. There are many financiers in this country, some of whom have great reputations, whether they have been deservedly acquired or not, and among them there is a great diver gence of views on the financial ques tion, but among them there is none who has given the subject of bimet allism a more unselfish, impartial and thorough study than William P. Si. John, who for some years was President of the Merchants' National Bank, of New York, which position he held until the beginning of this month, but then resigned because the directors objected to his identi fying himself so closely with the free coinage cause, espousing it so warmly and taking such an active interest in it. The fact that he resigned a posi tion which paid hiai $18,000 a year is presumptive proof that he is entirely sincere and thoroughly honest in the position, he takes as the advocate of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. Noticing some of the objections that are made to it by the gold standard advocates, which we have briefly alluded to above, Mr. St. John, in an address . he delivered at the Silver Convention in St. Louis Wednesday, answered them as follows: The fountain head of oar prosperity has run dry. Ojr farmers all over the country have endured the depression in prices until they set $8 or $9 per acre for an expenditure of $10 per ace, and . tne use. ineir credit is exhausted at their country stores. The country . stores ceases to order from the city mer chant, the city merchant reduces bis demand upon the manufacturer. Man ufactures are curtailed. Tne conse quence is that employes and all ele ments of labor are being discharged. and wages are lowered to those who continu: in employment. Tne suffer ings of the farmer, who constitue nearly oDc-nan oi our population, is tbus en lorcea upon tne city merchant, the manuiacturer and all forms of labor. These combined elements - constitute the overwhelming majority q voters. Their intelligent conclusion will be ielt when expressed at the polls. i The banker also is without prosperity nnless prosperity is general throughout the United States. He must learn to distinguish between cheap money and money commanding a low rate of inter est. The dollar worth two bushels of wheat is a dear dollar and yet it com mands interest in Wall street at present oi out two per cent, per annum on call, ii tne aouar can be cheapened by in creasing the number of dollars, so that eacn aoiiar win buy less wheat, the in creasing price of wheat will increase the demand lor dollars to invest in its pro duction Then the borrower of dollars to invest in the production of wheat oeing reasonably sure ot a profit from that employment of the money can afford to pay interest f jr its use as a part oi his profit. In other words, in. terest is a share of the profit on the em ployment of money. So that abundant mnnrv. monev readily obtainable, which is ,to say really cheap money, is the money which commands a high rate of interest, as a share of the profit of the borrower iu using it. . h : -xThe oppcs tion ; threatens us with a fl jod of Europe's silver npon our re opened mints. We answer, Europe has no silver but for silver money. Her sil ver money values silver money at from three cents to seven cents on the dollar higher than ours. Hence the European merchant or banker must sacrifice from three to seven per cent, of b s full legal tender money in order to recoin it at our mints, Europe's silverware, like Amer ca'ssilverware, carries in it the addi tiocal value of labor and the manufac turers' profit, j . . - , They threaten as with a food ot sil ver from the fa r East. We answer tbat the course of s hier is inyanaaly Eisc wark and never toward the West. Brit ish India is a perpetual sink of silver ab sorbing it, never to return, by from thir ty to sixty millons dollars worth every year. And India's absorption of silver will be enlarged by the steadiness of price tor stiver nxea oy our reuycucu mints. . They threaten us with a "sudden re tirement of $800,000,000 with the ac companying panic, causing contraction and commercial disaster unparalleled. We answer that our total stock of gold other than about $10,000,000 or $15, 000,000 circulating on the Pacific coast is already in retirement. Practically all our gold is in the United States Treasury or held by banks. The gold in the Treasury will remain there if the Secre tary avails himself of bis option to re deem United States notes in silver. The gold in the banks constitutes the quiet and undisturbed portion of their reserves against their liabilities. It will continue to do money duty as such reserves after free coinage far silver is enacted. Hence a premium on it will not contract the currency. The utmost possible contrac tion of the currency will be tbe few millions circulating on the Pacific coast and this will be retired but slowly. A similar threat of a flight of gold was made for the Bland act of 1878. Presi dent Hayes was urged to veto it, but Congresr passed it over , the veto. In stead of a flight of gold as had been pre dicted, we gained by importation $4,000,000 for the first year, $70,000,000 the next and $90,000,000 the third year. During the twelve years that tbe act was on the statute books we gained $221, 000,000 of foreign gold. Instead of tbe destruction of our credit abroad, as had been predicted, the United States four per cent, loan, which stood at 101 on the day of the enactment, sold at 120 per cent, within three years, and at 130 per cent, subsequently. Instead ot defeat ing the resumption of specie payments on January first of the following year, the $24,000,000 silver dollars which were coined in 1878 and circulated by means of silver certificates, reduced the de mand upon the Government for gold. Hence the threat of disaster ow is without historic foundation. This is a brief but a comprehen sive answe to the calamity predic ers, not from a tyro in finances or a mere theorist, but from a man whose ability as a financier is uni versally recognized and conceded by those who differ from him on this question, and one, too, who, as we have stated above, has given this subject long, laborious and consci entious study. MIBOK MENTIOS. sMr. Matthew Marshall is thefinan: cial writer for the New York Sun, gold organ, which bolted the Chicago platform and ticket on tbe money Question and now shines for Hanna and McKinley.In last Monday's issue there is an article by him from which the following extract is made: To the farmer and the planter these additional millions which the silver standard would give them are no doubt very enticing. Djubling a man's in come is a pleasant thing to him. Bat what of doubling bis expenses? The cotton planter would get twice as much for his cotton as he now gets, but he would pay twice as much lor bis corn. his pork, his clothing, and bis fertilizel s Tbe farmer, in turn, who got twice as much for bis wheat, his beef aid his pork, would pay twice as much for bis coffee, his tea, his sugar, h s clothes, his farming tools, and his other supplies. Very soon, too, his hired men would ex act from him double the wages he is now paying them. and. at the end of tbe year, bis doubled income would be wofuliy de pleted. As for the mass, of people, liv ing upon wages and sa'aries. they woald nave either to strike for more pay or re duce their style of living. On the assumption that Mr. Mar shall is right in what he herein says,. the logical deduction is that it doesn't make a particle of difference to the farmer or to any one else whether money be abundant or scarce, whether the planter got 10 cents or 5 cents a pound for his cot ton, the wheat grower $1 or 50 cents a bushel for his wheat, or the wage- earner whether he got $2 or $1 a day for his labor, because as the prices of farm products and of labor go up the, prices of everything else goes up and everybody is in exactly the same situation they were before. With due respect to Mr. Marshall this is simply the climax of ridicu lous nonsense. But it we were to concede that the price of everything else would go up correspondingly with the price of farm products does it follow that tne tarmer would not be a gaitier thereby? . Does it necessarily follow that he must spend all he makes? Can't he economize, if., he feels dis posed to do so, and thus have more money in his pocket to pay his debts, taxes, and improve his farm as he would like to do? But whether he did or not, wouldn't he feel better when he had two dollars to spend to the one he has now? Our impression is that he would be a decidedly sim ple-mind farmer who wouldn't take his chances on the: experiment. - - , -. Mr. Whitney, of New York, seems to be quite alarmed and very much distressed because Mark Hanna and his associates who are engineering the McKinley campaign have failed to grasp the true inwardness of the situation, and tumble to the kicking1 contingent who bolted the Chicago ticket, as he thinks they should have done. Perhaps he has" realized by tnis time that the McKinley man- agers nave Deen counting upon ab sorbing the aforesaid contingent without any preliminaries to make the swallowing more pleasant to the swallowed. Bat what does Mr. Whitney g expect the McKinley managers! to do? Haven't they ... A j " rlpHarprl . for cold - and while doing i so incorporated into their platform Mr. Whitney's bimet alllism on "international agreement." That's exactly what Mr. Whitney and those who - pulled with him at Chicago; wanted the Democrats to do, and therefore we can't see what fault he has to find with that part of the Republican platform. It is in entire accord with Mr. Whitney. )oes he expect them to squelch the tariff . business?' If so his demand would be unreasonable for that would discredit McKinley who was nominated as the ideal : representa tive and champion of protection. They won't do that; in tact e can't see how they can do any more than they have done to secure the co op eration of the Whitney faction, which will either be compelled to swallow McKinley just as he is, go fishing on election day, go through the farce of putting another ticket in the field or accept the Chi cago ticket, which would be the loyal and patriotic thing for them to do, and which in our ; opinion the large majority of them will do when they catch on to the Republican game. . X-i CURRENT COMMENT. Complaint is made that Bryan has no executive ability. ; Well, he has never had to have his Teal estats 'wound up" by his friends. This is what the Hanna trust did tor Mc Kinley. Atlanta Constitution, Dem. Mr. Hanna's; plan of cam paign Is to make the finanacial quesr tion the issue until the gold Demo crats are all enrolled under tne Dan- nerof McKinley, and then shift back to the tariff. For a plain business man Mr. Hanna is rapidly acquiring the tricks of the politicians. New York Journal, Dent. ; Mr. Hanna needs to hump himself, to meet Bryan's hot cam paign. , If, however, , Mr. Hanna thinks he can stop the free silver wild fire in sixty days and then de vote the remainder - of the campaign to the tariff, he is going to find him self a sadly disappointed man. There is no room in the current campaign for the tariff issue, and there will be none. Mr. Hanna had as well fecog Dize the fact first as last. Savannah Nexus gold), Dem. A great and old-established, as well as opulent carpet manufac turing firm, in Philadelphia, has closed its doors, throwing 5,000 men out of employment. The people, under the gold standard, cannot buy carpets even at a bargain. Work men thrown out of employment are not worrying about tbe kind of money in which wages are to be paid. They will vote for Bryan and free coinage the advance agents of an old-fashioned prosperity when cotton was $50 a bale and wheat $1 a bushel. Augusta Chronicle, Dem.

Columbus News: Highway robbery has been a thing unknown n this county in recent years, but ohn Anderson claims that he was robbed of $35.24 ahout a mile and a half below the depot, while on his way home from Whiteville last Mon day night. Daniel R. Norris is the man he charges with the robbery, as well as what may prove to be a mur der. We hear-that both of these parties were under the influence, of iquor. Anderson says that when they got about a mile and a half below the depot Norris asked him how much money he had. and he replied that he bad enough to pay the fare of two men to Geor gia, and that Norris then jumped On him and kicked hi in severely and cut him just below the upper joint ot his right thigh. The stab is a very dan gerous one and may prove fatal. Anderson thought.

WOMEN BORN IN AMERICA WHO NOW WEAR EUROPEAN TITLES. There Are Eighteen In This Clau, and All but One Have Entered It Through Wed lock Not All of These Daughters of Co de Sam Have Found Happiness In Titles. I Accustomed though the Americana are to see the daughters of Uncle Sam become tbe matrimonial prey of foreign noblemen, it will doubtless bo news to many of them, that there are no less than 18 women born on this side of the Atlantlo bearing the titlo of princess. . j : ' Of these only onp is what is known in court phraseology as a princess In her own right. She is tho princess of Noer, now the wife of tho Prussian field marshal Count Waldersee. All the other American born princesses have beoomo- so only by marrying princes, and those whose titles are either of German or Austrian origin have a right -to the predicate of serene, highness. , One of tho .most; important, as far as rank is concorned, ', is Princess Lynar, formerly Miss May Parsons of EUmen hurst, O. She was married some 25 years ago to tho late Prince Alexander Lynar, an officer of the German army, and smoe then has made her home at the castle of Lubbenau, near Merzoburg, In Prussia, devoting herself tq tho education of her daughter and two sons. Tho Princess (Jamporeale,. who also bears tho title of Duchess of Aldragana, is the daughter of John Binneyof Burling ton, N. J., and married her present hus band after obtaining a - divorce from Thomas Kingslaml of New York. The Prince of Camporeale was formerly in the diplomatic service and spent soyeral years attached to tbe Italian mission at Wash ington. " j . - r Anothor Italian princess hailing irom tho United States is tho stepdaughter of John Maokay of bonanza and Commercial cable fame. She Is marriod to Don Ferdi nand Colonna, princo - of Galatro, prince of Paliano and princo of Stigliono, as well as a Spanish grandee of the first class. Tbe union has turned out unhappily, and after several extremely sensational epi sodes, including a flight by the princess to America with her children, tbe couple have separated and are now living apart. Even more ancient in lineage: than tbe ' Colonnas oro the Cencis, the head of which illustrious house, Don Vlrginius, prince of Vicovaro, is mantled to Miss Eleanore Spencer, daughter of Lorillard Sponccr of Now York. The family tracos its ancestry in direct lino bock to Marco Clncio, who was prof oct of Pisa in tho year 457 B. C, and the' Cencis can likowiso boast of hav ing furnished several popes of thoCatholio church. I ! There are two American Princessses Ruspoli, and while ono forms part of what is known as the black, or papal, nobility tho other belongs to the monarchical par ty. Thus Don Emmanuel, princo of Bus- poll, deputy in the Italian parliament and major of tho city of ; Homo, is married to Miss Josophino Mary Curtis, daughter of Joseph B. Curtis of Boston, whilo Prince Alexander Kuspoli has as his . wife a daughter of Thomas jCapel Broad wood of New York. The branch of the house to which Princo Alexander belongs holds the hereditary dignity of j grand chamberlain to his holiness tho popo. Besides the two Princesses Ruspoli above mentioned and who reside at Romo there are two others who may likowise be described as Americans namely, tho wife of Princo Paolo Ruspoli, who was the widow of Joseph K. Rlggs of Washington, and Princess Marie Ruspoli, wifo of the former secretary of the Italian embassy at Washington and daughter of . the divorced Marquiso do Talleyrand, noo Bessio Cur tls of Boston. To Miss Consuloo Vanderbilt belongs the doublo distinction of being an English duchess and a princess of tbe holy Roman emplro, tho latter title having been con ferred upon the first Duke of Marlborough by tho Austrian emperor of the day as a recognition of his ivictorios ; over the French. The title is that of Princess Mindelhclm, and tbo coat of arms of tho Marlborough family will bo found sur mounted not only by the strawberry leaved ducal coronet of Great Britain, but also by the princely crown of Austria. Miss Wlnneretta Singer may bo describ ed as twice a princess, i Hor first husband was tbe Prince do Scey-Montboilard, from whom sho managed to securo a divorce, and sho Is now tho wife of Prince Edmund do Polignao. so widely known in France for his musical compositions. Tho wealth of tho princess comes to ber by inheritance from ber father, tie great 6ewing machine manufacturer. Two American girls bear jtho title of Princess Poniatowski, inot altogether just ly 60, since their husbands, although they bear tho historic nanio of Poniatowski, oro not Polish Princes Poniatowski, but more Italian Princes of Monte: Rotundo. One of tho Princesses Poniatowski is Cath arino, daughter of Ell Goddard of New York, and the other was a Miss Bertha Sperry, likewise of this city. Nor should tho name of Princess Ilatz- feldt bo omitted from tho list. She is the daughter of Mr.. Coilis P. Huntington, tbe California railroad magnate, and married Princo Francis Hatzfeldt, head of the sen lor branch of the very Illustrious house cf that name. The Hatifoldts hold high rank at the German court! the chief of tho house being grand cupbearer of the realm, and they are connected, by marriage with nearly all tbo great houses of tbe German, French and Austrian aristocracy, The daughter of Thomas Davis of New , York boars tho title of princess and duch ess of Lnnto Monfeltrlo della Rovere and of duchess of San Croee. Hor husband is likewise a Spanish grandee of the first class and owns a beautiful place near VI- terbo, In Italy. The princess was a great heiress and owns large ; pieces of property on Nassau, Pine, Broad and other down town streets of New York. Tbe list may be completed with tho name of the Duchess de Dino, princess do Talleyrand-Perigord. who is tho di vorced wife of Frederick Livingston of New York. She was married in 18S7 to Maurice -de Talleyrand-Perigord, duo de Dino, like herself a divorcee, his first wife having been Miss Bessie CurtlB of Boston; by that of Princess Yturblde, daughter of J. Greene of Georgetown, D. C, and wife of Prince Angel de Yturbide, the adopted son and heir of the late Em peror Maximilian of Mexico, and by the Princess de Suzannet, daughter of Hick son Field of New York.
