IfiSUHS AHH IMPORTANT.
Mr. Hosewatcr emphasised the Importance
of the Issue that wns to be decided at the
coming election. It affected the well-being
of every man , woman and child In the Unl
ted Statts Pew people were familiar with
the undcrljlng prlnclpleb of money. In the
early stages of clvllb.itltm furs had been the
medium In the pastoral period tin-he were
( succeeded bj t > hccp , cattle and camels Kadi
of these mediums of exchange was .1 money
unit. If a man exchanged an ox for ten
sheep It was a tatlo of ten to one , but the
ox was the unit of exchange. Then money
ciime Into use which was measuied b >
weight. When coinage began the sovciclgns ,
in order to assist their people to have an
honest and convenient medium of exchange ,
Iiiocced to stamp the coins The stamp of
the emperor's head did not make the value
of the coin , but It signified that It contained
BO minv grains of metal. Some monaichs
who had stamped a fictitious value on their
coins had been Justly execrated In history
ns scoundrels When the union had been
formally organized the United States had
decided to adopt this dollar as Its unit of
value. Then the metal In the coin was pie-
Btimcd to be worth its face value. No one
ever supposed that less than n dollar's
worth of metal should be made a dollar.
The speaker reviewed at some length the
history of coinage In this country. It had
first been found that gold had been under-
t allied and In 1S06 Thomas Jefferson had
directed that no more sllvci dollars should
be coined and this order continued lu effect
Tor thirty jcars In 1S31 the ratio was
changed fiom 15 to 1 to 1C to 1 ,
and this practically established the gold
standard. Iho crime of IS73 had
really occuncd In 1S5 % when under
' 'the direction of Thomas H. Uenton
the further free and unlimited coinage of
silver , .was stopppd. In 1873 wo were coinIng -
Ing neither gold nor silver , and there was
llttlo or no silver money In the- country
'There had never been any reason f r the
. horrible nightmares that some men plc-
tuicd In regard to the law of 187,1 , But
they must have something to delude the
people and hero this wondeiful conspiracy
bervcd the purpose. They asserted that It
was a scheme to enrich the bondholders of
Europe by paying them In gold , when as a
matter of fact silver at thattlmo was at
a premium of 3 per cent anil the bondhold-
01 s would bo the losers by the operation In
that proportion.
NATIONS INTnilDni'RNDnNT.
' In reply to Mr Smyth's question , as to the
ability of the Ui Ited States to make their
own llnanclil system , Mr Hoscwatur said
'that America was no longer an Island , Iso
latcd like the habitation of Hoblnson Crusoe
The world had been welded by bonds of
commerce , and each part of the globe was
within a few minutes communication of
nny other part. American Independence hid
jiot been achieved without the assistance of
the Krench troops , marshalled by Lafayette
and Ilochamhcau. When n man talked of
being Independent of every othui countiy on
earth In this nineteenth century , ho was
simply making a fool of himself.
In reply to the assertion that gold and
silver were both primary money before 1873 ,
,31 r. Kosowater said there was no such thing
as primary money. There was money and
there were I 0 U's Kvcry full weight
coin of gold and silver was money and
paper dollars were I. O. U'a The United
States had the best financial system of the
world , Cvcry dollar was tntcrchangablo
for Its face value In gold and passed cur
rent the v.orld over 13ven the advocates of
fre-e silver admitted that It was only an ex
periment to see whether their theory was
good or not. Tuo weeks ago a man who
had had built a llylug machine , decided to
inako an ascension It was an experiment
end ho fell and was fjtally Injuicd If
only ono man was to bo Injuicd by this free
silver experiment. It would not hi ) HO dan
gerous , but U menaced the prosperity of
uvery human being In the countiy.
Referring to the charge of demonetizing
silver , the xpcukcr declared that It was an
absolute fabrication , There was no silver
inonoy In 187.t and not a dollar that was
coined before or silica had over been de
monetized or drlve-n out of circulation Sil
ver has all the functions of gold In this
country. You can pay your debts with sil
ver dollars to any amount.
In regard to the iBsimnco of government
bonds , the speaker ileclaied that up to the
tlmo when the administration was turned
over to thu democratic party Micro was no
nocesHlty to Issue them The trouble with
the republican party wns always a surplus
and not o deficiency , The vv.iy lo prevent
thcHu bond 1331103 was to put a party Into
power that would so administer the govem
inent that thu receipts would bo equal to
the expenditures. If silver could bo restored
to Its old prtco of { 1.29 an ounce by free
coinage how was It that all the nations havn
boon obliged to change ratio BO many times
In order to maintain the parity of the
metals ?
RUTURNS TO CONSPIRACY CHARGR
In his second argument Mr. Smyth re
turned to the "crluio of 1S73 , " Ho declared
that In 1S53 there had been a combination
to demonetize gold because It looked as
though the production was to bo vastly de
creased. They failed and then decided to
make money scarce by demonetizing sil
ler. In this cuso they succeeded and they
aad cleared 0 per rent by the operation.
lie then attempted to show that the revenues
of the country had constantly fallen elf
lurlug Harrison's administration and that
l bond Issue was Imminent when Cleveland
Became president.
Mr. Rosuwater clinched his previous na-
lortlou that thu told standard had existed
prior to Ib73 by quoting from n statement
it 1'rc'slJent Curllelil , and further by ask
ing how silver could have been quoted at
t premium of 3 per cent In 1873 It It was
Itself the standard , lie refused to accept
Ilia Etatument of bU opponent that prop
erty values had declined solely because
gold had gone out. The laws of supply and
demaud regulated the value * of property.
I'rodii'-tlon had been cheapened and It was
very natural that thu price of the product
chould decrease In tha tame proportion ,
ibuMONUTizHU TIM : MULU.
Mr. Rosewater then told a story of how
a lot of Wall street capitalists had concocted
a devilish schcmu to demonetize the horse
and the mule. So they Invented the trolley-
car and the blcyelo and thu echcmu wag au-
conipllahed and now came thu u.uiers of
the horses auj mules and demanded that
their animals should t * remonetlzcd. They

declared that If the government would pass
an act agreeing to pay a certain prlco for
ovcry horse or mulu the prlco of the anl
rnah would Immtdhitcly rise to that point
This was the contention of the free silver
faintlcs In a nutshell and It was just abou
as sensible.
The effect of the repudiation of the na
tlonal obligations was illtistiated by the ex
ptrlenco of some of the southern states
which had lepudlated their debts and hat
conse-qucntly been unable to boirow a dollar
In his next speech Mr. Smy th stated that
the silver dollar \vas worth only 03 cents
today , but with tha free coinage of silver It
would suiely reach Its former price. He de
clared that his plan was not nn experi
ment ns had been chaiged by Mr. Rose-
water. He declared that It had been tried
In Franco and the other Latin union coun-
tiles , but neglected to state what the re
sult ot that experiment had been. In con
clusion ho nsKcd Mr Rosewater to give some
ic.abon why wo should not go back to the
conditions that existed pi lor to 1873.
CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED.
In reply .Mr. Rosewater said that the con
ditions of 1S7.1 were not the conditions of
today , and they could never be restoied.
Ho doubted If any ono would wish to return
to them If they could. It was In 1873 that
this country was paralyred by the greatest
financial crash of Us history. Ho then quoted
the picture drawn by Colonel Ingorsoll , who
said.
said."No
"No oi.e can Imagine , all the languages
of the world cannot express , what the people
ple of the United States suffered from 1873
to 1S79. Men who considered themselves
mllllonalics found that they were paupeis
Men living in palaces , supposing that they
had enough to glvo sunshine to the winter
of their ago , supposing that they had enough
to leave i.ll they loved In aniucnco and comfort -
fort , suddenly found that they weio mendi
cants , with bonds , stocks , mortgages , all
turned to nshcs In their aged , trembling
hands The chimney grew cold. The fires
In furnaces went out The poor families
vvoro tinned adrift , and the highways of
the United States were filled with tramps
Into the home of the poor crept the seipent
of temptation , and whispered In the ear of
poverty . .ho terrible word , repudiation. 1
want to tell you that you cannot conceive
of what the American people suffered as
they staggered over the desert of bank
ruptcy from 1873 to 1870. We aie too ncai
now to know how ginud wo weie The poor

said , 'No. ' No , wo will settle fair. Wo

name with the Infamous word , repudiation
Aio you not glad7 What is the outcome ?
Are you not glad that our flag Is covered all
over with financial honors' ' The stars shine
and gleam now because they represent an
honest nation "
Referring to Mr. Smyth's assertion thai
the treasury was depleted when Piesldent
Harrison stepped out , Mr. Rosewatcr called
attention to the fact that during his admin
istration the government debt had been re
duced by $225,000,000 , and the treasury
would have been sound today had It not
been for the interference with the tariff
Smyth attempted to turn the point made
by graphic pictures of the condition of the
country In 1873 by saying It relieved him of
the task. Ho said ho believed that the
greatest prospeilty would follow the free
coinage of silver , but failed to Indicate how
It would be brought about
Both the speakers were liberally ap
plauded when they made a telling point ,
nnd thioiighont the audience paid the most
Interested attention.

mechanics and other citizens of New Castle
IJluood and other parts of Lawrence county
Pa. , started for Canton this morning li
special trains over the Baltimore & Ohio
to call on Major McKlnley. They icachei
Canton shortly before noon. Along their
long Journey they bad many recruits. When
they had paraded to the McKlnley home
6,000 people crowded over the bare lawn
and surged into the streets around about
And then It rained , vvhllo bands played and
thousands of enthusiastic voices cheered
cannons boomed and steam calliopes lent
their noise to the medley of the crowd
The people stood through the rain for an
hour. They waved their banners and beat
their tin helmets They carried Inscrip
tions , "Wo Want I3ack the Good Old Mc

and the Factories Started , Not the Rich

The presentation was made by ex-Con
gressman Oscar L Jackson , who said :
Most of our people are as familiar with

on his stoop to respond to the sentiments
of Colonel Jackson , calliopes , cannon , bands

INDIANAPOLIS , Aug. 22. While It is no
specifically claimed at the national head
quarters of the gold standard democrats tha
President Cleveland will declare himself ll
favor of tlio nomination of a third tlckc
there Is , nevertheless , linn belief that the
administration will not oppose the move
nicnt. The following statement was author-
bed today at national headquarters.
There Is no ono authorized to speak for
President Cleveland , but certainly there has
been no antagonism of the movement from
Mr. Cleveland or his friends , and any one
observing the situation can see very clearly
that Senator Vllas , Senator Caffery , Senator
Palmer and Senator Gray are , to put It
mildly , not unfriendly to Cleveland. In
fact , these gentlemen have been most closely
Identified with him , and aie bin friends. The
Chicago platform , as every ono knows , seeks
to Impeach his personal Integrity and bis
political administration , and Governor Stone
of Missouri , In his Madison Square Garden
speech , saw fit to go outside the record and
declare Cleveland to be a traitor. The
newspapers that are supporting Ilryan are
engaged In thr same kind of work. Mr.
Cleveland and Ills friends are not of the
makeup that kisses the hand that smites
them "
The leaders say there will be from 5,000
to 8,000 people at the convention and
arrangements are being made upon that
magnitude. New York engaged quarters
for 125 persons today at the Bates. Seven
teen states have now engaged headquarters
at the different hotels.
HILL WILL DE IN LINE.
A communication received at headquarters
fiom New York today regarding Senator
Hill's attitude , which expresses the senti
ment of the leaders , Is as follows' "Cockran
Is a candidate and Hill knows that no man
who endorses the Chicago platform can be
elected to the senate from New York , nor
can any man who endorses tbo work of that
convention ever be elected president. Cock-
ran has taken the popular road. Hill has
come to the forks In the road and you will
see that within ten days ho will he sprinting
up the road that Cockran has taken. He
iiurned the bridges behind him when he re
fused to attend the Bryan meeting. "
SPRINGFIELD , III. , Aug. 22. The gold
standard democrats of Sangamon county met
liero this afternoon and elected delegates to
their state convention , which meets at Chicago
cage next Thursday. Senator Palmer pre
sided and addressed the convention. Ho de
clared that the platform adopted by the
democratic national convention did not stand
for democratic principles , and expressed
Ills opinion that the sound money demo
crats should elect delegates to the Indian
apolis convention. He further declared his
belief that the gold standard democrats
should nominate candidates for piesldent
and vice president , with the purpose , as
: io expressed It , "not ot making war , butte
to assert our Individuality. "
Ho added : "Our position Is that the claims
of our country are paramount to any politi
cal party. "
Senator Palmer's declaration was greeted
with mingled applause and hisses from out-
sl-'o the ! railing.
PORTLAND , Ore , Aug 22. The conven

NEW YOIIK , Aug. 22. The Now Yorl
Financier says this week : Tlio statcmcn
of the Clearing House banks of New York
for the week ending August 22 catno as an
agreeable surprise after the Bloomy fore
casts which liad been nindo as to the decrease
crease of rcseno. The actual decrease li
rcscno was only $127,525. The heavies
change was In deposits , which was the log
leal effect of .ho contraction lu loans , am
the withdrawal of funds to the west and
south , the mo\ement toward tlicsu two
points continuing In undtmlnlshcdoltituo
The continued demand for inonoy from those
centers , of course , makes It necessary for
the banks to call In outstanding loans anil
the statement shows that this was what
prevented a much heavier loss In resents.
In fact , the position of the banks Is as
strong as It was ono week ago , as they have
taken full measures to protect themsehes.
but as inonov Is badly needed , the Issue ol
Clearing House certificates , If decided upoi
at a meeting to bo called Monday , will como
as a relief to the mercantile world. As the
banks hold an average their full 25 per cent
reserve , they are In a position , perhaps , to
postpone this movement , but on the other
hand , an expansion of credit at this time
might pre\ent unfortunate liquidation. The
Import of nearly $3,000,000 of gold. If fol
lowed by additional shipments , would have
the same effect. The bank note expansion
now going on cannot bo made heavy enough
to answer the full purpose. Inlew of the
steady purchase of certificates nt this time
conservative bank presidents do not think
that their Issue would bo followed by cash
withdrawals or hoardings.
The extent of the shrinkage which ha :
been going on this season can be understood
better when It is stated that the loans of
the Now York banks are now nearly | 55-
000,000 less than for the corresponding week
last year , and deposits arc $115,236,000 lower.
J. Edward Simmons , president of the
Fourth National bank. Is quoted as saying
that out of the political situation there
has arisen a good deal of apprehension on
the part of the general public , and tbls has
brought business to a condition of almost
utter stagnation. "Mills , " Simmons added ,
"aro being closed all over the country , or
else put on half tlmo. There has been little
or no demand for goods and a very icstrlctcd
Bale of commercial paper , and as a result
the strain upon the merchants Is becoming
Intense , and the resulting pressure upon
the banks for discount is most severe. This ,
coming at a time when the demand for
money for crop moving purposes Is active ,
as usual at this season of the year , It Is
only right that the banks of Now York
should extend such nccommoaiUlon to their
out-of-town customers , as well as the mer
chants , as will enable the crops to move
ficcly. It will only bo with the view of
avoiding serious disaster that Clearing HOUHO
loan certificates will bo issued , should tliji
emergency bo considered sufficient In the
oplnjon of the committee to warrant tuch
action. "
Bullion dealers and other authorities deny
the current reports , of % per cent on assay
olllco certificates. Ono firm says It offered
gold yesterday at 3-1G and was unable to
got a bid of ' , & . It Is understood , how
ever , that the demand for gold nt the In
terior continues large and Inquiries have
lcen received during the week from -various
parts of the country for gold In amounts
ranging from $5,000 to $10,000.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 22. For some tlmo
rumors have appeared In print on tha
probability of the early resignation of Sec
retary Hoko Smith. There can now be no y ,
doubt but that ho has resigned and that n /
his resignation hns been accepted. | t'
1'or some days past shipments have been
made to Atlanta of his books and papers , and
It Is learned thtn ho has declined to set
any departmental business to bo heard by
him for a date later than this month. It
can safely be assumed that n successor will
bo In charge In n very short time.
After the nomination of Dry an and Scwall
It became known that Secretary Smith was
the only member of the cabinet who announced - _
nounced the purpose to support that ticket j ]
and that this action on his part , while not
in any way affecting his personal relations
with the other membeis of the cabinet ,
seemed so material to him that ho felt
constrained to tender his resignation.
Iho secretary declines to discuss the
subject In any way.
Uvery since the rumored probable resigna
tion of Secretary Smith there has been inoro
or less gossip concerning his probable suc
cessor at the Interior department , and the
name of John M. Reynolds , the second as
sistant secretary of the department , has been
mentioned frequently for the place. Mr.
Reynolds has made an excellent otllcer. Ho
has had charge of the dllllcult work of
review of pension decisions of the pension j
bureau and has given general satisfaction.
Ho Is a natlvo of Pennsylvania. The now
cabinet olilccr will ha\o only a llttlo moro
than sit months to serve and It Is regarded
as probable that Mr. Cleveland will perfer
to fill the vacancy from the department
rather than fill the place with some 0110
wlicr would bo new to the work as It Involves - (
volves acquaintance with a great variety
of matters affecting directly the public
welfare.
ATLANTA , Ga. , Aug. 22. Tlio rumored
resignation of Hoko Smith creates no sur
prise here , as it has been understood among
the secretary's intimate friends ever slnco
ho came out for the Chicago ticket that ho
would soon ictIro from the cabinet. It Is
understood that Immediately upon his with
drawal he will return to Atlanta and ro-
Eiimo the practice of his profession.
The secretary's law olllco has not been
closed since his departure from Washington ,
his partner , J. V. John Pendleton , remainIng - '
Ing In chargo. The sign Hoke Smith has re
mained on the door , hnd the secretary's I
desk has been kept awaiting his return. H '
Is well known that Mr. Smith , on entering
the cabinet , left a law practice which paid
him several times the salary of a cabinet
odlccr , and he will return to enter upon ono
which will ho much more profitable ) still.
The secretary owns a handsome home on
West Peach Tree street , which the tenant
holds to bo vacated on demand His law of
fice and homo , therefore , being ready for
reoccupancy , Secietary Smith's return to
Atlanta need not bu delayed long after hla
resignation takes effect.
