Suppose the gold monometallists succeed in their programme, what then? They contend that there is already money enoughsome say too much -in the country, which means that if they can have their way there will be no more of any kind save gold. As they have been warring on silver so they have been warring against greenbacks, but In a less vigorous way. A part of their programme now is to try defeat every friend of silver who may offer himself for Congress for either house, whether he be a Democrat or a Republican, as they are now try ing to defeat Joe Blackburn in Ken tucky, a man whose Democracy has never been questioned by any one. When they have succeeded in carry ing their gold monometallism through and have succeeded in putting a majority of gold mono metallists in Congress, then they will . have the game . in their own hands, be masters of the situation, will throw off the disguise and no longer move with ' the caution and deliberation they do now, but openly and boldly. We will then hear no more from them about bimetallism, for they will send the silver dollar to the rear and consign it to Secretary Morton's "junk" pile, and there will be no more talk about that "inter national agreement" fake, withjwhlch they have been trying to humbug" credulous people. Is this an exaggeration? Hasn't Secretary Carlisle told us that he al ready has more silver in the Treas ury than there is any use for, and that in spite of hts efforts to put and keep it in circulation he can't do it, and that what be does send out finds its way in a short while back into the sub-treasuries again ? If this be what he thinks about silver and what he thinks about the unwillingness of ,the people to use it need we ever ex pect that he would favor the coin age of any more? - In thus speaking Secretary Car lisle voices the views of the gold standard people for whom he speaks, and for whom Secretary Morton speaks more bluntly . when he char- actertzes-suver as "junk. It is very safe to say that under the dictation of such men having the views they hold as to silver as expressed and emphasized by them selves, there will be an . end to the coinage of silver on a ratio of 16 to 1, 32 to 1 or any other ratio. They are not going to have any more silver and they will not have it If they can prevent it on any pretext. They are thoroughly committed to gold and the more they discuss it the more thoroughly committed they be come. ' .' : T"1 -Early in the discussion they pro fessed to be bimetallists; now they seldom refer to bimetallism, while some of them go so far as to declare that it is an impossibility, and never did really exist in this or any other country. Let them succeed and there will not only be an end to coin age of silver, but an end to bimetal lism and the circulation of silver save as subsidiary coins, and that simply because it will be needed for convenience in making change. This would reduce the silver currency to about $150,000,000, and add propor tionately to the value and purchas ing power of gold. The next move will be to retire the $346,000,000 of greenbacks now in ; circulation, by substituting for them gold, interest-bearing bondfe, which will necessitate the issuing of that many more bonds and the-indefinite perpetuation of the national debt, which some people think a ' "national blessing." ; When they have done that then they will have us reduced to gold and national bank notes for our currency, which would give us about one-half the per capita circulation that we have now, assuming that the present per capita is as large as they say it is. In what kind of a predicament would that place the country, es pecially the South, which "has not now, with the $1,600,000,000 of cur rency alleged to be in circulation, $8 per capital '.-vf, ':id'r;;.r .. The East might possibly tug along under it by which we mean the business men and tollers of the Eastfor that is the " money center, and however much the volume might be reduced it would continue to have, as It has now, the bulk of , it, but it would mean dire disaster to the South and West, which would then be more helplessly in the hands of the money power than ever. If the people yield and permit themselves to be deceived and blindly led in this contest, they will awake when too late to the realization - that one-half the present volume of currency is to be destroyed, and that they will be utterly,, dependent upon the gold mongers for the money they will then be permitted to have. Then they Will be compelled to sell their cotton, their wheat, corn, meat, wool, labor &c, for the price , the gold monger may fix upon them and then the ragged edge upon which the pro ducing, toiling millions have sat in the past will be a luxury, compared with what will confront them in the future. ' ..''V' ;:v-r ' klKOB, XCEBTIOT. ; We referred a few days ago to the interest shown by , the International Geographical Congress, held in Lon don last week, on Antarctic explora tion. f The following from the Lon don correspondent of the New York un, furnishes some more interesting information on this subject: , - "The discussion bv the "Congress of Antarctic exploration wa even more in teresting than the latest newt about the search tor the orth Pole, The most positive information yet made public about the discovery of a great South Po lar continent was presented by the Nor wegian Borchgrevinck, who is said to be the only man who has set foot on this new land. He sailed south of Posses sion Island in a small steamer, and in 74 latitude sighted a new promontory, which he named Cape Oscar. He then retreated a little way north to Cape Adair, where; he made a landing. He probably was the first human being to go ashore in this re gion. The landing place was a ort of peninsula which form a complete break water tor the inner bay. Immense swarms of penguins were on the prom ontory. The party, after landing, col lected specimens of the rock, and also tound some signs of vegetation. Throughout the whole voyage the party had a comparatively high temperature the minimum within the Antarctic cir cle being 25 degrees, and the maximum lit rlMrrvM. while all through the ice pack it remained at 28 degrees. The ob servations of the Sir lames Ross expe dition showed a Jower temperature in the vicinity of . Victoria Land, and the question arose whether or not during the last fifty-four years the temperature or the South polar continent had risen and vegetation Jhad been developed. It was evident thar an extensive North go ing warm current existed and broke up the ice fields within the Antarctic circle. The barometer when at 29 degrees, and even when as low as 28 degrees, indi cated calm weather. The specimens ot rock which the ex plorer had brought "irom Cape "Adair held out the expectation that minerals of economic value might be found on the Continent, although perhaps it would be rather premature to float a mining com pany for these regions. The important point, according to his judgment, was that a ship could winter safely at Cape Adair.- He is ready to become the leader of a party to remain throughout the Winter at Cape Adair. With the aid of dogs and sledges he believed it possible to work to the South Magnetic Pole. His view was that the Continent ex tended oyer an area of 8.000,000 square miles, or was twice the size of Europe, and be would expect to find many speci mens of animal life hitherto unknown in the southern hemisphere. It is reported that as the result of the discussions of the Congress a plan al ready is preparing for sending a three fold expedition to the Anarctic regions. which would attempt to reach the Pole from three directions. . " . : ' We have another striking illustra tion of the protection fake in tm5 advance in the price of copper which is now two cents a pound higher than it was when the Wilson bill passed. The protectionists protested against putting copper on the free list and drew pictures of the copper mining regions draped in mourning as a horrid warning of the fate that awaited that industry when deprived of protection.' The New York Tri bune, a protection organ,- in com menting upon the advance in prices says it is the result of reduced stocks . in the hands ot miners, which possibly may have some truth In it, bat it makes no allowance for the Increased demand as a resujt of stimulated industries, which will, doubtless, better account for the in crease in price than . the short stocks. Instead of the mining dis tricts becoming converted into grave yards as pictorially predicted mining stocks have enhanced to an aggre gate of $30,000,000. While this may be partly due to speculation it is due mainly to the increased demand for copper, but whatever it be due to it effectually 'explodes the protection fake and . proves that - the copper miners did not and do not need pro tection. ... ( We have heretofore referred to the large proportions the peach-growing industry lias attained in some por tlons of Georgia," especially in the Fort Valley section, where it seems to be the leading industry. The Savannah Press stateslthat the ship ments from this section ' this season will amount to 450 car loads, which will bring a net profit of $270,000 to the shippers. There is located the orchard of Mr. Hale, formerly of Connecticut, who has 100,000 bear ing trees, and employs ordinarily about 150 men, but In the packing and .shipping season 400. They are getting this business in good shape . there and ; do . not, when the firstTrush with . its high prices is over, permit the fruit to fall from the trees and rot on the ground, as we do in some portions of this State, for they are establish ing canneries to preserve the fruit which cannot be sold at a satisfac tory price. ' There are two already established, one of which puts tip 10,000 cans-a day. . These not only preserve the fruit, which would other wise go to waste,, and put it into a form to sell well and bring In a good deal of money, but they; give em ployment to a good many people, and thus benefit the community. Every fruit and vegetable-growing district shonld have its canneries as a necessary part of the business. . ; ; . '.

Then it was worth several dollars a pound. In 1893, 333,629 pounds were turned out, and in 1894, 550,000 pounds, and the price has fallen to 55 cents a pound, which has brought it into use in many ways. With the rapid increase in production It will become cheaper, and its use be come much more common.

It is said that certain Western Repub licans are anything but pleased with the movements of certain Populists who sit "high up."

This is for obvions reasons. They do not relish any move of Populists looking to a distribution of . nominations among; their own henchmen.

The engineer reversed bis engine and jumped, as did also the fireman. The special engine crashed into the caboose and splintered it. A commercial travel ler named Durham was in the caboose and was terribly mangled. He will prob ably die. One other occupant of the ca boose was hurt.

By Telegraph to the Morning Stat. .Washington, August 7. inqmrv at ' the Department of State to-day brought to light the fact that more than a month ago Minister Denby had secured from the Chinese Government an atsurancc that . murderers of American citizens would suffer capital punishment. Mr Denby's action in this regard has n ceived the ' approval of the Statu Department, and in view ot th. confidence imposed in him it not considered r necessary to send him . more explicit instructions in the present trouble than to "do all that can be done" for the protection of American citizens. It was stated at the Department to-day that no doubt was felt there that Mr. Denby would secure protection of American interests in the present nnsettled state of affairs. Min ister. Denby and Admiral Carpenter, commanding the American fleet in Asi atic waters, are free to act in the matter oi sending vessels lor the protection ol American citizens in China Permis sion from either the State or Navy De partments is not necessary io the pre mises, and Admiral larpenter has lull authority to dispatch a vessel to any ac cessible point by direction of the Minis ter. In June last, the gunboat Petiel went to Hankow at Mr. Denby's request. It is impossible to have a vessel at Ku cheng or even to send a force of marines and blue jackets in small boats. . The inauguration of a series ol naval evolutions and strategic manoeuvres greater than ever attempted before is this country was marked to-day by the departure of the cruisers New Yoik. Montgomery and Cincinnati Irom New York for Newport. For the next tan months these vessels, with several otheis belonging to the North Atlantic Squad ron, will execute a marine proumroo extending from Hampton Roads. Va., to Halifax, N. S., which will include a stra tegic attack on New York andvhcwoik ing outof a number of problems prepaid by the Naval War College. On their arrival at Newport, the ves sels which left New York to-dayjyi I he joined by the Raleigh and the dispart boat Dolphin. Evolutions in naval tac tics will be the first business ol Admiral Bunce's fleet, and these will extend io Portland, Maine. Secretary Herbert aiii probably accompany the fleet for that distance. The Texas will be placed it commission August 15th, and will joii the squadron immediately thereafter. II the Columbia proves to have sustained no injury from her recent docking expe rience at Southampton, she also will be sent to join Admiral Bunce when the comes out ot the dry dock at Brooklyn. - The .cruiser Minneapolis will eotu Newport in a few days, and it is possi ble that the monitor Amphitrite will fol low. If the battleship Maine is coo pleted in time, she, too, will be added to the fleet. ' The programme of evolution has not been fully prepared, but it will be neces sarily kept secret in order to carry ott the intention of the Admiral and the officers at the War College to conduct a campaign such as would prevail dm ine a war with foreign vessels endeavor- ine to capture cities alone the Atlantic coast. .
