C, SEPT. 8, 1893 It is strange, but true, says the Atlanta Journal, that the thirdites, and the anti-administrations paper? use the same arguments and abuse 9 the same public officials. We believe that the calamity howlers are more responsible for the money panic than all the other agen coiu bined. They believe in An archism and swimming in blood. There seems to be no doubt that Martin Crowe died in Jersey City from genuine Asiatic cholora, as Surgeon General Wyman informed Surgeon Austin that the case was such. Old Gal Lease is employed at $100 per night lecturing for the unem ployed. This is pay-triotism of the Kansas type. She is making money while the old man stands around and leads the applause. The news from every section of the business world is of the most encouraging nature. Banks are re suming, mills that had shut down are setting to work again, New York banks are turning money loose, and a better feeling exist in business circles. It is said Senator Vance's speech was complimented on all sides, and eclipsed any previous speech he has made in the Senate. It made ten columns in the Congressional Re cord. We publish a synopsis of the grand old man's speech in another column. Congressman Alexander told in his speech last week that railroad freights have gotten so low that our farmers receive no benefit, in higher prices from a short wheat crop, flour being brought here from the North west at nominal rates of transporta tion; We suppose then that gov ernment ownership of the railroads is desirables for some other reason than that freight rates may be still further reduced for it maiiifcsl from Capt. Alexander's argument that if they made any lower rate our farmers will be ruined. Charlotte Observer. Judge Lochren, the new commis sioner of pensions, was not only a brave Union soldier and one of the heroes of the battle of Gettysburg, but he is a gentleman who has the courage to resent insulting innuen does cast upon the men who fought against him. The Massachusetts stove-polish demagogue, "Rising Sun" Morse, in a brutal and vulgar letter to the commissioner of pen sions demanded the reopening of a pension case for one of his consti tuents. Judge Lochren was not to be overawed by the bluster of a puffed-up Bay State politician, and instead of reopening the case he wrotp Mr. Morse an open letter scoring him for the use of the ex pression that the "confederates were on top in the pension office" and pointedly accusing the yankee of malignant ling. Morse has tried to defend himself, and made a public exhibition of himself through the prints, but at present the un worthy pension case is still unopen. Here is another example of a brave soldier who would make a pension rull a veritable roll of honor. v. Cleveland Critlclsed-Democrats Accused of Violating: Party Pledges Reply to Governor Gordon. Washington, D. C, Sept. 1. Mr. Vance, ot North Carolina, spoke in the Senate to-dav on the silver repeal bill. He spoke against re peal and took occasion to criticise the administration and the Demo crats who have arrayed themselves on the side or repeal. The discussion of the question Mr. Vance said, was narrowed by the fact that all parties profess bi metalism and have declared for thi use of both gold and silver in thei platforms. The conditions attached to these professions of bimetalism were, .Mr. Vance said, so various that it could hardly be conceived that all were acting in good taitli With all the grave pledges of thei party platform, State and national stariner them in the face, as well as their own speeches, promises and votes in the past, blowing trumpet tongued against the deep damnation of the taking off of silver, some Senators clamored all the fiercer and all the louder that the only way to save silver was to repeal the one law on the statute book which gives it life. In the presence of a posi tion so defiant of logic and of fact it was hard to speak plainly without appearing to violate those courte- sies which were demanded by reel ings or personal respect and regard tor each other. Members ot Con gress declared they loved silver money, bimetalism, thererore they slew it. They wanted both metals, therefore they abolished the one. They wanted gold and silver coined on terms of equality according to their platform, and so they stopped coining silver. They desired to maintain the parity, but cut the only cord that held silver up and permitted it to drop out or sight. CLEVELAND AND THE SOUTH. If such an interpretation of the Democratic platform as was con tended for here by those who will vote for repeal, and presumably by the President, had been announced luring the campaign of the last year. Mr. Vance said he was quite sure Mr. Cleveland would not have carried his State (North Carolina) by 50,000 votes: and he believed further that he could not have car ried n single electoral vote South of the Potomac river. It was said that there was no abandonment of the Chicago platform in the uncondi tional repeal ot the Sherman law, but only a postponement. He won dered if in any of our political liter ature, rich as it is in ingenuity and device, full as it is of eloquence and true genius, over-burdened as it is with every conceivable and incon ceivable form of witticism and hum- buggery, after a hundred years of free government, wherein men of all opinions have had a chance to ventilate them, anything could be found approaching in absurdity the incorporation in this bill of a part of the Chicago platform? Was there ever a cat trotting through :he tangled thickets of the Allegha- lies or roaming over the barren wilds of the Rocky Mountains, so wild and untamable as this cat? Was there ever any bug discovered and classified by science with a hum equal to the hum of this bug? The Democratic party in 1884, 1888 and again in 1892 made certain pledges o the people that they would make certain financial pledges if the peo ple would only put them in power where they could enact laws. Last year it promised to secure the use of both gold and silver as currency and maintain the parity of two. These promises were contained in one par agraphed in good faith are not sep arable. They constituted a scheme by which the financial policy of the country was to be reformed, and honor and tatr dealing required those promises to be carried out together. Democrats were put in power, and Mr. Cleveland, though known to be personally hostile to the use of sil ver, was elected because the people believed that he would carry out in good faith the promises made for him in the platform to which he ac ceded iu his letter of acceptance. In the fulfillment of these promises the first thing done was to yield to the clamor of capitalists and anticipate the regular session of Congress for the sole purpose of stopping the coin age of silver and nothing more. REPEAL WILL COME. He conceded that the repeal uro gram was likely to be carried put, ' but asked what would be done with the remainder of the platform. The banks and stock broking gamblers were given 'all they wanted under this bill, but the American people were put off with still another prom ise. If the promises at Chicago were not good, how, he inquired, would the promises inserted In the law become any better ? The Presi dent, in his message, did not inti mate that anything more was to be giyen, and the promises contained in the bill were of so general a na ture as to be evasive and indefinite If the party intended to enact the laws it had promised it should do it now. It the party was acting in good faith it would carry out those pledges now, and if the friends of that platform let go ot what they had before they got something else in exchange how could they justify themselves before their people ? If asked why he could not trust the future for the enactment of those laws which ought to come concur rent with the. repeal ot the bherman act. Mr. Vance said his answer would be more nearly the truth than theirs he had no confidence. Being once deceived he could not accept any more promises as those of honest and responsible men. ANSWER TO GORDON. In reply to Senator Gordon's query why the friends of silver halted be tween unconditional and conditional repeal, Mr. Vance said that by con ditional repeal we united the Demo cratic party, or at least all true friends of bimetallism. By the pro position, of unconditional repeal that was impossible. Bimetallism was the most popular, if not the most potential, factor in the last cam paign; it was the one plank common to all platforms. A comparison of votes in Congress and conventions before and after the proposed repeal would form a contract that would put to shame the wonder inspiring patent medicine advertisement "be- fore and after taking." Referring to General Gordon's change of front he said he believed he would be condemned out of his own mouth, and would be compelled to say, like the wild-eyed, long haired man who accompanied the temperance lecturer, "I go along to serve as a frightful example." Giv ing and taking was fair, but when one side did all the giving and the other side all the taking, it amount ed to a surrender. Thirty days from this time all obstructions to the bus iness of the world would have passed away and to-day, according to the leading financial papers, an upward tendency was everywhere manifest ed. He called upon his friends to take heart anji stand by the object of their love a little while longer. To insist upon repeal in the face of the admited fat that the Sherman law was not the cause of the trouble an acknowledgment that it could not be repealed without some substitute in cold blood and in times of reasonable prosperity. APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS. In view of the attitude of the President, he knew and other Sena tors knew, that any bill providing for either the free coinage or the limited coinage of silver could not become a law, and to permit the pas sage of this bill will without attach ing some other legislation to it knowing that the other legislation could not be secured independently and by itself was to consciously surrender and turn their backs upon the pledges made to the people. If Democrats did this they must do it with their eyes open to the conse quences and knowing that they were sumecting themselves to the serious accusations of their constit uents. If the Democratic party did this it would cease to be the people's friend and become the subservient tool of combined capital and consti tute in its legislation the lineal suc cession of the 33 years of that Re publican rule which they had always leretofore denounced as building up the combinations and corporations which have well nigh absorbed the wealth of the country. After dwel- mg tor a time upon the production of the two metals and their use as money by different governments, tie concluded his speech by, a decla ration favoring free and unlimited coinage of silver and explained why le thought this could be accomplish ed and maintained.

The bloody Waite, the Thirdite Goyernor' of Colorado, is being cor dially invited by the Chicago news papers to visit the'stockyards, where he can wade in-blood upto his whis kers. Messiah Zachual Garrett, of Vance, ought to join him as he could swifn in blood without putting his Republican carcass in danger. Mrs. Laura M. Johns officially announces the opening of the equal suffrage campaign at the mass meet ing in Kansas City September 1 and 2. Mrs. Johns says that the ,wo- raen of Kansas are fully organized, and that a systematic canvas will be carried on. The women believe that by persistent effort they will secure the personal pledges of more than enough voters to give them what they ask. Now that it is distinctly understood that the President and Secretary of the Treasury favor, as a separate and later measure, the coining of the bullion in the treasury, it is in teresting to know the amount of the seignbrage on-tliis amount so as to arrive at the exact amount vof pro posed new coinage. Mr. Bland says it is now approximating $59,000,000 and at the same ratio as has obtain ed ' recently will be $00,000,000 by the end of the month. It would take several months to coin it.
