Will Mr, Basbee Define Trae Bt-MesaUissnr Why 'Will Silver Hot Depreciate Under - Free Cotaace if Parity at 16 to 1 Cannot Be Maintained? Why will Gold Come Back, it Prices Should liall? Where la the Denver line? What Kind of Paper Currency Shoald We Bave? To the Editor of tha Observer: The currency problem furnishes lust now a very grave question in national politics, and seems to demand for it the first place in the party issues next year. It is proposed to administer heroic treatment to the most vital con cern of this country its circulating medium and as every step taken in such treatment must necessarily affect both individual and national prosperity, you will pardon me lor making some inquiries based upon the last notable paper which you have published on this subject. I refer to the letter of Mr. F. H. Busbee which appeared in these columns one week ago. It is to be observed that Mr. Busbee wrote that letter in order to correct an impression made by an interview re ported in jour Washington letter, that he was in favor of the free coinage of .silver by international agreement, and to state frankly and fully his real opin ions oh the question of silver coinage. He says: "The question as to what function silver shall perform in the ourrency of the United States demands a positive answer;" and yet after hastily diagnosing the situation, he folds his arms and answers: "For one, I am con tent to try the experiment of a largely increased silver coinage," and con cludes: "I am content to stand with the overwhelming majority of the people of North Carolina." As Mr. Busbee is de sirous that your readers should know, not his "supposed opinions" on this question, as reported by a Washington correspondent, but what he "really thinks," as written by himself, I trust he will state to them clearly his views on some of the points mentioned in that letter. 1. Mr. Busbee first states the terms in which each party to the silver con troversy contends for bi-metallism, while each calls the other a gold-mono-metallist or a silver mono metallist. He thereupon frankly declares that neither party is a true bi-metallist, but he omits to declare with the same frankness what true bi-metallism is. Now will not Mr. Busbee frankly and clearly state what true bi-metallism is, and state whether he and "the over whelming majority of the people of North Carolina," whose sentiments he knows so well, are in favor of it? 2. Mr. Busbee then says: "The ad vocate of unlimited coinage professes to believe that upon the opening of the mints of the United States to silver coinage a parity at 16 to 1 would be at once established." And he thereupon declares: "I do not think it possible for the United States alone to maintain such parity." But he does not state what he really thinks would be the re sult of such free, unlimited and inde pendent coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 by the United States. Will Mr. Busbee, with equal frank ness, state to your readers whether he does not think that when such parity cannot be maintained, the silver cur rency under such free coinage would greatly depreciate, and whether be and "the overwhelming majority of the people of North Carolina," with whom be stands, are in favor of issuing such depreciated currency? 3. Mr. Busbee does admit, however, that he has little patience with a cer tain argument based upon a prophesy of Mr. Carlisle that under the free coin age of silver the currency would not only be greatly debased and of smSll value, but at the same time would be greatly contracted on account of the disuse of gold, and that the prices of products will fall in consequence of the increased use of silver. His reason for having such little patience is given in this remarkable proposition: "If prices should fall, gold would come back." Will Mr. Busbee kindly inform your readers on what principle of political economy he bases this remarkable proposition: "If prices should fall, gold would come back !" Will he not also in form them when and where Mr. Carlisle ever made a prophesy "that prices would fall in consequence of an in creased use of silver" alone. 4. After declaring that the silver question is indissolubly bound up with the question of a sufficient paper cur rency. Mr. Busbee concludes thus: "If we had a well grounded prospect of the enactment of currency laws which would provide a safe and flexible circu lating medium in sufficient volume for the needs of the people, it is possible that it would be unwise to risk the dan gers which will attend the experiment of the free coinage of silver." Will not Mr. Busbee frankly and clearly describe to your readers "the dangers which will attend the experi ment of the free coinage of silver?' Will he not also designate the line where unwisdom stops and wisdom be gins in risking these dangers? 5. Again, Mr. Busbee seems to have ho hope of a State bank ourrency and says: The recent renewal of the sug gestion of State bask currency, coming from those who are engaged in the con test against silver, fs merely an empty promise, with no possibility of fulfill ment and, as I believe, hardlv made In good faith." j - ; t L He seems to havo little, hope for the success of the free ooinageof silver, as well; for he concludes his letter by de claring that no one can give an opinion of much value as to the prospects of the eventual success of the movement for free coinage. He is also unfriendly to the national bank currency, because, as he alleges. the amount of their is sue is oon trolled by the moneyed cen tres and very limited." - j Now if the silver question is undissolu bly bounds up with the question of, a sufficient paper currency, and neither national nor State banks can be depend ed upon to issue it, will not Mr. Busbee State what kind of currency be "really thinks" we should have? , Will he not also explain why he imputes: bad faith to the advocates o( a State bank curren cy, when he admits there is little more hope of the success of . the free coinage movement than of the establishment of State banks? - - ; - - - 6. Mr.- Busbee .further- says: "The Democratic party should not and will not; be satisfied with anything less than a clear cat enunciation of its principles upoo,Jrhi matter.? He really thinks that so far as the Democratic party is concerned, the time for oracular utter ances has passed, and all candid and pa triotic Democrats will agree with him. But does Mr. Busbee "really think" that the Democratic party of the United States should declare for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, on the ra tio of 16 to 1 by" this country alone? Does he "really think" this would be "a clear cut enunciation of its princi ples ou this matter?" If so, will he not state frankly to your readers how such is to be reconciled with the declarations of the party prior to the date when greenbacks were brought to a parity with gold? I call his attention to the following declarations of the principles of our party: Democratic platform 1872: "The public credit must be st o redly main tained, and we denounce repudiation in every form and guise." Democratic platform 1876: "Reform is necessary to establish a sound cur rency, restore the public credit and maintain the national honor." Will he not, upon these points, give your readers the. benefit of the same frankness and clearness with which, in the summer of 1893, he construed the currency plank in the Democratic plat form of 1892? If he can reconcile a clear cut declaration in favor of a de preciated currency, with the avowed principles of the Democratic party in the past, he will clear up the exact diffi culty with so many Democrats who de sire as sincerely as Mr. Busbee to "stand with the overwhelming majority of the people of North Carolina."

Dr. John Bynum, Winston's health officer, who went to Virginia to make a thorough investiga tion of the question as to whether or not this -city should establish a quarantine against the smallpox infected district, in Patrick county, has returned. He had an interview with the mayor and physicians of Martinsville, and they as sured him that they had taken all neces sary steps to prevent tbe spread of tbe disease. Strict quarantine regulations have been adopted and they say that these regulations cover all public ap proaches to this section from the in fected district. All the known cases have been collected and isolated at Stella, twenty miles from Martinsville. As the result of the investigation, Dr. Bynum does not think it necessary for Winston-Salem to establish a quaran tine, but recommends vaccination. A supply of fresh virus was telegraphed for and arrived to-day. The city au thorities will make provision for the vaccination of all who are not able to bear the expense themselves. The particulars of a sensation which occurred Thursday night at Midway, David3on county, were received here last evening. It appears that a crowd of men from Walnut Cove went to Midway for the purpose of making Dr. Hill, a young physician, who stands charged with ruining a young lady at Walnut Cove, promise to marry the girl or settle the matter to the satisfac tion of her people. The young physi cian had been warned of the intentions of the party and consequently secured a deputy sheriff, together with a number of his friends, who met the party from the Cove. The opposing faction are said to have been well armed, but the sheriff and his party came off victo rious. The crowd from Walnut Cove were arrested, tried before a magistrate and bound over to court. They put up the money for their appearance. A party went after the doctor two months ago but he was not found at home. The Forsyth Sunday school conven tion was herd at Maple Springs church, four miles west of Winston, to-day. The attendance was large. The R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Compa ny, of thia city, has secured 600 feet of space for a large exhibit of manufac tured tobacco at the Atlanta Exposition. Dr. J. A. Blum, of Winston, has been engaged to arrange the exhibit and he says it will be both novel and attract ive. It is learned that no exhibit will be made by the Winston board of trade. The Winston tobacco manufacturers have had a fine trade this week, their shipments aggregating some 250,000 pounds. The revenue collections amounted to $15,000. THE EXILED NUN 8. The State Department Upholds the Con sul's Action Upon the Broad Ground of Humanity. Washington, Aug. 3. The American nuns who were compelled to leave Ec uador by the Revolutionists and who arrived in New York this week, have not made any complaint to the State Department supplemental to the state ment recently made in their behalf, and that of the other inmates of the convent by ex-Congressman Timothy J. Camp bell, of New York, The State Depart ment, however, has indorsedHbe action of its consul at Guayaquil in protesting against the treatment of the nuns and in securing them from further insult and attack. This was done in the ab sence of direct evidence that the nuns were AmertoanSr but the Department holds, and has so Informed Mr. Camp bell, that even, if : the harassed women are not Americana the course taken by our consul at Guayaquil, should be fully endorsed on the broad grounds of humanity. No question has arisen as to the nationality of the nuns, but it is believed at the Department that there will be no difficulty in showing that some of them, if not all, are entitled to the protection-of the American govern men t. At present the nuns are being protected by. the commandant of the district where their convent is situated, and it is believed that no further out rages on tnem will be committed. : -Wta the Silver Men Nominate Boise?

THE FI5f AKCIKR'8 STATEMENT. The Decrease in the Ezeeea Reserve a ' Favorable Feature Shrewd Borrowers Taking- Advantage of Tempting Bates. New York, Aug. 3. The New York Financier says this morning: A de crease of $1,077,400 in the excess reserve carried by the associated banks of this city is a favorable "feature of the bank statement made for the week ending August 3d. 1 be changes in cash hold ings were unimportant, the gain of $177,400 in specie being more than counterbalanced by a decrease of $416, 400 in legal tenders, making the net loss for the week $233,000. Had it not been for the expansion in loans, the reserve would have swelled something like a million dollars, as tbe net increase in deposits for the week was $3,361,600. A large part of this gain undoubtedly came from the interior movement which is maintained in a volume larger than has been anticipated. -Large remit tances nave also been received from some of the Eastern banks during the weet. The increase in loans, coming imme diately after the decrease of the week previous, is not to be explained easily but money rates in view of the long predicted advance are very tempting, and shrewd borrowers are quick to take advantage, of an opportunity which may not occur again. The demand for re-discounts from the West and South is also increasing and some large sums nave oeen placed within the past few days. A number of banks having large connection of this kind report a revival in the demand which bas extended over two weeks. The Treasury, it may be remarked, is preparing for the busi ness which it will be called upon to do in the way of transferring funds by tele graph as they are called for. The rates for funds have shown no material change although the gold ex ports have complicated the situation to some extent. The last withdrawals of funds with which to secure gold from the Treasury are not reflected in the statement for the current week. COPP1HGER AT THE HOLE, A Careful Investigation of the Shooting of Indian Prisoners to Be Made. Camp Cache, Jackson Hole, Wyo., Aug. 3. General Coppineer and the troops have arrived, and are now mak ing an investigation of the shooting of the Indian prisoners, and it is said some or the settlers will be arrested, especially the constable and his men. The settlers are quiet, but are afraid of arrest. The Indians are hastening rap idly toward their reservations, and none are in sight here. Everything Quiet at Jackson's Hole. Washington, Aug. 3. Agent Teter to-day telegraphed Indian Commis sioner Browning from Market Lake, Idaho, fitatiDg that he had just returned from Jackson's Hole and found every thing quiet there. Commissioner Browning thinks the trouble at Jack son's Hole is at an end. FT BVittaln Goes to the Penitentiary for Five Years. Stiecial to the Observer. Newton, Aug. 3. To the surprise of a large majority of those who heard the evidence, the jury this morning re turned a verdict of guilty against D. M. Brittain and his daughter, Mrs. Brenty Williams, charged with incest. Judge Bryan denied motion for a new trial and sentenced Brittain to five years in the penitentiary, but suspended judg ment as to the female defendant. De fendant Brittain appeals to the Supreme Court. The Wilmington Steam Fire Engine Company No, 1 will participate in tbe nremens tournament in Newbern next week. The report that Beaver Island. Mich.. is burned is a hoax. There are small forest fires burning on the island, but nothing of any importance. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Cotton Made a Net Gain of 6 Points on Un- favorable Crop Reports. Special by Private Wire to Harrison Watts. SiwYobk, Aueust 8. On account of the August bank hollaays in England there will be no Liverpool market until next Wednes day, and fluctuations here must la tbe meantime depend largely upon news re ceived from the Sou in. Weather reports published in tbe Chronicle this morning are mainly la accord with those that have been received during the week The condi tion of the crop Is not as favorable as a week ago, except in some places on the Gulf ooast, where the . plant improved. From New Braunfels, Tex., we learn that cotton in that section Is shedding badly, and Au gusta, Oa., reports serious - damage by btight. On the other band, at several points in central Texas the first new cotton is com ing in on time. Bryan, Tex., received its first bsrle yeterday. The Chronicle's article was rather bullisb, showing in many places that cotton is euifuriag lor lack or rain, while In others danger is caused by exces sive moisture. On this bad showing our market opened up4 tofl points and advanced further making a net rise of 10 points in tbe first boor. This naturally brought out realizing sales, causing a set-back of about 4 points." In New Orleans the Inclination to sell on the rise was much more marked than here. Tbe close was quiet at 7.02 for October, being 8 points higher than yester day. The total crop in sight la 9,1WSJ4 bales ; same time last year 7,388,787.

CHiceo, August 8 Tbe strong feeling that existed tbe fore part of the week in wheat was not maintained and the market from the high point on Monday to the low point to-day shows a decline of over 5, los ing the entire gain of last week. News has not been sufficiently- bullish to inspire much buying, and bean have foand an easy market to operate on. Holders Lave been reluctant ahout carrying much of a toss and have therefore aided the decline by stop loss orders.
