The gold: organs are now resurrec 1'iag Secretary Carlisle's "five points," in which he sums op the sil- ver question, ana mailing mew uu duty again.l They call it putting the silver issue, jin a nutshell, frpm whichf we infer that they look upon them as five very strong points, although it isn't quite 'apparent in what their strength lies. As brevity is said to be the soul of wit, the merit in these paints may be in their brevity. They read as follows: ' U ' ', First There is ijot a fre : coinage country: jn the world to-day that is not on a silver basis. . j 'Secbnd-j-There is not a gbld. sUnd ard country jia the world toiday that does not usj silver as money along.witri gold. , . I . - .. "Thirds-There is riot a silver stand ard country in the world to-day that useeold ss money aong with stiver. "Feiirth-iThere is not a silver stand ard country la the world to day that has more than cine-third as much money in circulation (per capita as the United States has; and 1 'Filch There is not a stiver standard country in the world to-day where the laboring man receives fair;' pay for his .-pay s wcrk.T ; j - 1 . If every one of these was literally ,true it wo lldn't aflect '.the silver is 4 st? m this country One particle,- for thaTllssue Is far as we are concern- ed.if one which affects m and us only, but tjhey are not all true, and fhere arejlone of them true as far as the application is made to this coun-try,-becauie.the conduionsbetween this and the silver standard countries is so dififerjent that there is no ground .' for a comparison between them : He saysb ("first:, "There is not a free coinage country m.the world to- day that is not on a . silver basis." There is riot a free coinage country Mn the word to-day that Is more on a silver' basis than it was before the , European! nations and. this country demonetized silver, and which was not always as much on a silver basis as it is now, so tb.at -we fail to see j what effect free, coinage has or has , had in putting them on a silver basis, : or what particular pertinence to the question there is in this point. )' But if it were literally true what does "it amount o? Is there anything hor rid in being on a silver basis,, that it should insplreterror? Does it fol low that! because these countries which' have free coinage, Jaid have i always been on a silver basis, are . now on a silver basis that we would necessarily be on a silver basis if free coinage were restored In this coun 1 try? We had free coinage until 1873. 1 Were we on a' silver basis then? And i i - ; if not; then why should we be hence forth? Didn't we prosper then when we had free coinage? And if f we prospered! then under it why couldn't we prosper again under it? But the! free coinage countries, with their silyerj basis seem to ' bei doing i pretty well and if so what does ft matter whether they are on a silver basis or riot ? ' .. ; - 'i '.' In. answer to the second point it may be said that if the gold stan'd ' ard countries use silver as money .' along with gold it is because they I can t help it; the silver is necessary to them, and the fact that they use it at all is a concession as to jts value as a money metal. But they, wittf rthe exception of ibis country, use it ' j as a subsidiary coin, and that is the ? use to which : th.e gold .advocates J would reduce it in this country if tneyi could, and the use to which I they will confine it if they suc ceed.! j. ';-";.;. . ;;' .. Th third is not true, for there is not a silvestandard country in the' world which does not use . gold as well as silver as money. There may be littl.or no gold in circulation with them but in that respect they are as well off as we are for there is little or no gold in circulation with os. AVe use gold to pay interest on Qur fconds and interest on money invested 'by foreigners in. American enterprises or securities, and they do the same, so that as far as gold is 9oncerned we are on the same foot- ing VOL. XXVII. do not. use . gold as money they seem to get along without so what difference- does it make ? 1 If they can get along without gold and prosper, couldn't we do the same, in the event that; the free coinage of silver should drive gold but and put son that awful silver basis which the gold men say it would I. .'"-. p While the fourth "point" is trne to some extent it is not strictly true, for the per capita business is one that shows up considerably larger on pa per than it does in fact. Instead of there being, as alleged, $24 and some cents per capita in circulation,, it is a question whether there Is more than a third of this sum in actual circula tion. Deduct the' money that is hoarded, locked up in bank vaults and Government vaults, and he would be an expert mathematician who could figure out $24.fr capita, or anything like it. But what if these countries have less per capita than we have ? Is this in consequence of their having free coinage? If they didn't have free coinage; wouldn't they have less per capital This being so, isn't free coinage a good thing for them? j But if they have less per capita than we have they need less anil can get along on'less, for their habitsj manners, conditions and pur suits afc different. They are mainly agricultural countries, with but little commerce, but few manufactories, and consequently they do not need as much money in circulation as we do. But does it follow because we have a1 larger per, capita circulation than the silver standard countries that we have enough, do not have use for any more and therefore should not have free silver coinage? That' what this point means if it has any application. ! i ' The fifth is doubtless true. There is not a silver standard country in the world :where the laboring man re ceives j fair pay for his day's work, j udged from 'our standpoint ! But what has the silver standard to do with that? Don't they receive as much wages now as they ever did, and in 'some of these countries more? Would they get more wages if the gold standard prevailed? If it can be shown that they would there would be some point in this "point," but until that is done there is none. But as a matter of fact there is no gold standard country in the- world to-day! where the . laborer receives fair pay for his. day's work. They receive better'; pay in this country than they do in any country in the world, (but they always did that, so that this can't be claimed to be the result ! of the gold, standard.. In European gold standard countries little higher 1 than ! wagesi are very "they, are In the silver standard coun tries, and this difference is due not to the I money standard, but to other causes. For these and other reasons that might be adduced we are of the opinion that these "five points" do not settle the question in favor of gold. ". ' : : i . Misoa hen lion. I I i The' gold organs tell us that there Is plenty of money in this countiy and that therefore the country must be prosperous, and while compelled to admit that one of the great, in fact the greatest, industry suffers, they try to make the impression that this depression is confined to the Western section of the country, where oh account of the cheap lands and the laree amount put under cultiva tion, there has been overproduction,- wbich has caused the low prices complained of. This will not do', for it is not overproduction but under- .consumption that is the matter, and it will not do again,' for the depres sion is felt quite as much in the East as in the West, and ' the East is not a grain-growing section and depends more . upon the good home market which the high tariff people were going to build up for them than upon foreign mar kets, jas the Western grain grower and the Southern cotton grower is compelled to do. As illustrative of this we clip the following from the New Orleans Times-Democrat: : "The New York society for improving the condition ot the port has been in vestigating, at considerabltfexpense, the causes that have brought about the de pression of the farming interests In that State. Its inquiry has shown that agri culture is in an even worse condition than imagined, and tnat tne: decay that had marked the last twenty; years l is going on - more rapidly than ever. Farming land, it was shown.) haa depreciated on an average some 48 per cent.; SO per cent, of the farmers are anxious to leave their farms, aad would drift into the cities if they only knew; how to get work there; and 85 per cent.! of the farmers report that their children;! as they grow up, cannot be induced to remain on the farms; tenant farming is on the increase; 85 per. cent, of the New York farmers are losing money; 50 per. cent, dangerously near it; 14 -per cent.! are making a profit, and 180 per cent do not know whether they are or not. It was found tnat in the vicinity of Cornell University, and wherever else eovern-j ment agricultural experiment stations or, agricultural schools exist, the condition of the farmers was much better, i j "Farming conducted on very careful and scientific principles, and with ample ranitAi. is makinff mohev: buMn nearly all other cases there is a dead loss. New York is a fair sample of Eastern agricul ture and it is safe to say that if farming is $ot paying there it is . paying in no other part of the East. ;- . 4. if . : .! v .;v v.:;---- '1;. The New York World asks, "why favor of sound and stable currency?" Both parties have so declared. -I Both naa tour years ago piattorms aeciar-1 ing in favor of -a sound and Stable currency, but ' since these platforms refe adopted, some gentlemen in the Democratic party, and some also in the Republican party, have- come jto the conclusion that the people gen erally do not know what a "sound and stable currency" is, and have therefore undertaken to teach them that it means gold. That's a defini tion that a very large number, and a very - considerable majority of the Americnn people decline to accept, and it is I therefore pretty, safe to say that neither" of the parties will V declare for that kind of a sound and stable currency. Unless the signs of the times are,all wrong the Democratic convention, will declare for a sound and stable currency composed of both gold and silver .without discrimination against either and the Republican conven tion will also so declare; at the same time edging over to, gold as close as it dare., The Republican machine managers have started out for a straddle and have been on the fence so Ions: that f they find it easier, and they think wiser and safer, to sit there than to get downJ Tne 1 Democratic convention will have no straddling and . will give us a ; sound and stable currency' platform, but not the kind that the World would like to have. The gold organs of this country point with I a good deal of satisfac tion to the recent statements of the chancellor of the exchecquer of Eng land as to ! the prosperity of that country, as illustrated by a plethoric Treasury, and that they proceed to advance that as a strong argument for the gold standard. A full Treasury is not always an evidence of prosperity, although it is evidence of an effective tax-gathering ma chinery. At the verytime theChan cellor was congratulating Parliament on the full condition of ,the treasj jury the cotton manufacturers who Operate the greatest manufacturing Industry of England, were complain ing of depression,' and the agricul turalists of the Kingdom were call ing about for some legislation to protect them from- ruin. Can a fhen country be prosperous two of its greatest industries'are suf fering? The money lenders, the men who send their money abroad I to be invested in bonds, other securities and enterprises, who draw their in terest or dividends in gold, maybe prospering, and the gold standard may be a very good thing for( them, but it is not for the people at large, and it is not for the countries which pay this interest or these dividends in gold, when they have to make sac- i . , . , . . , i rinces ana impovensa mcuibcivcs iu do it.! The fact that the money-lenders of England are getting richer and richer on the tribute they draw from the borrowers of otberConntries, is a strong argument for a change of the system which enables them to levy tribute upon mankind. The Philadelphia Record reminds .Mr. McKinley that it would be a very easy thing for him to say, "I am in favor of maintaining the single gold standard of : value." Mr. Mc Kinley has too much sense to in dulge in such remarks at this time. He is making pretty fair progress as it is, and nobody ever suspected McKinley of idiocy. .

The Exe cutive Committee will convene here on Wednesday prior to the Convention to near CDntestants, per instructions at their recent meeting. - Chairman Holton will not recognize the committee if they at tempt to usurp his appointing power. He says he is going to appoint a com mitttee on credentials. - Mr. Holton tells me tbat the committee have no more to do with the organization of the commit tee than the Presbyterian Synod. Here is Chairman Holton fighting the Execu tive Committee i and here is where the trouble is going to begin which may re-' suit in a division Dt the Kepubiicin party The element .which can control the seat ing of the contesting delegations is the element that will come out victorious. The convention' is going to be a stormy One from the start and it may resolve into a contest between physical forces instead of a voting body ol delegates. It looks like a free silver resolution will go through. McKinley will, of 'Course, be endorsed with a whoop. Chairman Holton says he will urge a resolution condemning civil service reform.

Chattanooga, May 9.--The second day's session of the) Southern Btptist Conyention began with Judge Haralson in the cbairi but relieved towards the close of the morning by ex-Governor Northen, of Georgia, first vice president. An impassioned appeal was made by R. I. Willingham, corresponding secretary-of the Foreign Missions Board, to save the cause of the missions from go ing backward, consequent on the in creasing, indebtedness, of ) the board. Subscriptions were opened on the; floor and 18.089 Iwere subscribed by those present.1 i- j ' : " -' j - A touching f cene followed a moti on to' honor the Hying organizers of the con vention at Augusta in 1845. j by arising vote, j A resolution was carried t ex amine into the relatlors existing be tween the Baptist Theological Seminary at Lou sville and the convention..

A contrary; report is significant ot a strong effort being made to) reprimand) President Wbitsett for his tearless state-, ment "of historical facts relating tb bap tismal ritesj of the early English Bap tists." i I '' " ! L A graceful- act of the great body was the recognition of the surviving; mem bers who participated in the reorganiza-l tion of the convention at Auguista in 1845. Messrs.'
