C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1895. WHOLE NO. 338 GIVE US A TRIAL -L Mild MONEY. AO. 14. That the double standard has been a failure is seen in the history of coinage in our own country. In 1792 the weight ratio of silver to . cold was 15 to 1. In 1834 it wbb made 16 to 1. In 1853 the silver halfdollar had to be made lighter. In 1873 the gold dollar weighing 25.8 grains nine-tenths fine was made the unit of value. The country Bince 1873 has willed that no change should be made in the unit of value, Similarly, the double standard prevailed in France 'or about seventy years, but finally had to be aban doned. France tried it alone and failed. Tnat country then called Italy, Greece, and three of the smaller powers of Europe to its as sistance and styled themselves the Latin union, which existed several years but finally bad to abandon the .douUre standard. TDj double standard, it should be observed, did not serve the purpose that its advocates so zealously claim ed for it. It did not put money iuto circulation as p'entiful as the en thusiast on the subject ot that standard would have us believe, After trying the double standard for over sixty years France found that in some of the rural towns of that country haud-made nails were pass ing current a- money, illustrating the fact that a government may stamp any or all kinds of metals as money, whiiBt trade and commence will go on in the even tenor of their way. It is an illustration of the old saying, that a horse may be taken to water, bnt cannot be made to drink. Bat the reader may ask, if all the principal nations of the world were tocombine, could not the double standard be made possible? The answer is, that all the principal na tions are hardly going to combine for that purpose: They have al ready decided that the single gold standard is .he bebt, and having con eluded that that standard is the best adapted to the wants of commerce, they are not going to abandon it double standard is a good sub- t for debate in political earn ing and international conferences. a to have no nlace in the lifiao nf tnmmorM atirl trade n fincriana me vaiue ratio oi com silver is about 34 to 1, and in xrauce mc kkm iruv is xtfi w j..

Would England agree to re duce every gold dollar in that conn try to one-half is present value? Certainly not, such a proceeding would bankiupt the country. Sup pose England proposed to France to make the ratio 32 to 1, would France accept that? Every 16 ponnds of silver in France is legally worth one pound of gold. Would France con sent to making one pound of gold worth 32 pounds of Bilver? That Would cut eyery French silver d)I lar middle in two, making each worth only fifty cents, would F.ance be willing to do that? If it were done, would it not bankrupt that country? Suppose that the two countries were to agree to a ratio of 24 to 1. The effect would be similar in each of the countries, but not to the Bame degree. Gold would be depreciated in England, and silver in' France. Te reader can understand this by supposing that if our silver dollars were not backed by tht government, and were left to pass at their com mercial .value, that is at a value of fifty cents.. Eyery man who held one of those dollars would find It suddenly reduced to to the value of a half dollar. The government would be likely to call them in and receive them. The country would then have just half as many silver dollars as it had before, but each dollar would be twice as heavy as it was before. An enlightened government will hesitate a Ions time before bringing such a calamity upon its people. It ii for this reason that international conferences amount to about the same thing as the ordinary school . house debating contests. It is yery pleasant to hear them, . and besides they give practice in speaking to the " boys which probably is one of the Vgreatest services they render, pro Tided tfiMipeaking If confined ta fte subject under consideration. The double standard can be made to pre, vail only on the condition that it iB favorable to the well being of all nations, a condition that possibly may happen, but probably will not We cannot reason about standards as we do about the sale of bats. one hat will brine five dollars, then two hats will brine: ten dollars wlich the reader will perceive 18 correct, in the number of hats hav ing been doubled it is right that the money should be doubled. But it is not necessarily the same with the standards, and coinage, we cannot say with good reason that if one standard yields a coinage of five millions of dollars, two standards will yield a coinage of ten millions of dollars. Doubling the number of standards, if that were possible, would not necessarily double the amount of money. The number of standards has nothing to do with the amount of money. Other con' ditions are necessary for the deter mination of the amount needed in a country. A country having a single real standard may have as much or even more money in circulation than a country with the imaginary double standard. The method of business has much to do with determining the amount of money required by a country. The standard measures the quality, not the quanity. Savignt. ON ALL SIDES.

It is gratifying, indeed, to see from reports all over the land that indications point to a still greater rise in the price of cotton. Besides encouraging remarks from cotton dealers and manufacturers in our own State, tbe Atlanta Constitution of Thursday morning publishes an interwiew with Mr. J U Lewis, a well known cotton buyer of Nv-w Orleanse, which contains the pre diction that the price of cotton will go still higher, and its prefatory re marks, speaks very cheerily of the prospect of ten cent cotton in the near fnture.

San Feancisco, Sept. 19. The police have discovered and frustrated a plot to assassinate Durrant. The plot was concocted by a well-known criminal, while awaiting sentence in the county j iL He expressed his intention to his fellow-prisoners of. kil ing Durrant at the first opportu nity, and the matter coming to the ears of the sheriff, an extra precau tion was taken not to alllow Dur rant to exercise with the other prisoners, and to drive him to and from the court either i 1 a boggy or outside the prison van. On search being made of tbe cell, a broken table knife, whetted to a keen edge, was f onnd therein. The prisoner has Bince been sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary. Before being taken to tbe peniten tiary he admitted to tbe police that it was not his intention to kill Dnr rant, bnt that he had no oppor tunity to us; his knife. The police refuse to divulge the name of the criminal. Cotton-piokers leaye town morning in great droves. SAM TONESISMS. Peculiar Expression Nandwiched in ;Hi So mom.

Try to Denounce "The Htate." Columbia, S. C, September 18. There was another sensation sprung in the constitutional conven tion today in tbe shape of a resolu tion to denounce a charge made in an editorial in "The State" tnat the president on Monday willfully mis stated the returns of the tellers in the matter of the first yote taken on the Butlei county matter. It was introduced by Mr. Patter. son and concluded "thus be it re solved that this convention do here by pronounce Baid editorial state ment as being a malicious false hood." Vice-President Tolbertwas called to the chair. Mr. Patterson said he wished to protect their presiding officer from insult. He maintained that the correctness of the presi dent s statement of the vote was borne out by the members who heard the vote announced, by the tellers and by Senator Irby's statement on the floor accepting the "revote." Irby objected to the immediate consideration of the resolution, and said : "Let us sleep over it." Ten members thereupon openly objected to the immediate considera tion of the matter and it was made a special order for tomorrow. An Old Hegro Dropped Eead While Looking- at the Show.
