Secretary Smith and Ex-Speaker Crisp
li a War of Words.
MONOMETALLISM YS. BIMETALLISM
The Advantages of a Double Standard Ex
plained by the One Speaker and Its
Dangers Exposed by the Other Before
an Enthusiastic Audience.
Auqusta, Gn.. Anrll 1. No political
eyent ha so stirred tho cltyof Augustanud
its surrounding territory ns tho financial
debate between Secretary lloko Smith for
"sound" money nnd ox-Spookor Charles
F, Crisp, representing free colnairo, which
occurred here last night. Tho dny was n
gala one, Smith, and Crisp holding Infor
mal receptions at tho Arlington hotel all
tho forenoon. Excursions were run into
the city from nil points within n radius of
seTenty-Ilye mllqs., Tho city nssumod a
holiday nppearanco, Tho ilobnto took
place In ,tho Grand Opera House, which
cats 2,200, and nt S o'clock tho building
Was unnblo to accommodate thomnss that
deslrod admission, many having to return
homo.
After a short Introduction by Chairman
Daughty, of tho county executive commit
tee, who stated tho terms of tho dobato,
ho introduced J udgo Crisp, who spoke lu
part as follows:
"Mr. Smith nnd myself nro both Demo
crats, and wo both oxpoot to earnestly and
loyally stand by tho Democratic nomlneo,
but just now tho policy of tho Democratic
party is to bo formed, nnd Sir. Smith and
I dlffor on ono important question. Wo
differ about money.
"There aro two contentions respecting
existing conditions, but first let mo call
your nttontlon to tho monetary condition
of tho world up to 1873. Throughout
Europe thero wcro two metals coined nt
different ratios in different countrios, but
tho concensus of the rates were about 15
to 1. Thoro Is no such thing ns interna
tional money, no monoy will clroulnto In
nil countries. In 1702 tho governments of
Kuropo hnd tho ratio of 15 to 1 and tho
United States formed that ratio as tholr
basis of coining tho two metals. That was
right In 1792.
"You ob-ervo my friend Mr. Smith when
ho comes to address you, and seo If ho doos
not make tho error of confounding tho
standard with the currency.
-"Bimetallism is deslrod by ovory writer
as being n condition when both metals
can be coined legally nt mint by u ratlp
fixed by tho law with an equal purchasing
and debt paying power. Up to tho year
1873 this law was in forco nnd silver nnd
gold wore thus linked together and wcro
tho measure of commodities. Any other
condition but .this Is Injurious to tho peo
ple and only benefits thoso who liavo
money to loau.
"When Franco coined tho two metals nt
the ratio ot 15J to 1, and tho United States
nt u ratio of 10 to 1, all tho gold camo to
America. Gold goes where It enn get tho
most for itself. Up to 1873 there was no
great dlvorgonoo lu tho ratio of tho two
metals, sometimes ono would be worth a
llttlo mora nnd somotimes another. In
1873 tho United States domonltlzod silver,
Why It. was dono no slnglo standard gold
advocate Is old enough or truthful enough
to recollect. There aro none of thorn who
will boldly toll you why. Tho real reason
wns to decreaso tho amount of monoy and
Increase the value ot the money which
was left. '
"Thoro are somo pooplo who go through
the country saying that the trouble is that
the financial question is being agitated
by silver crunks, and I have nover seen a
wrong Inflicted on, tho. masses of tho peo
ple but that those who 'inflict it aro op
posed to having it agitated.
"Immediately after tho dcmonltizatlou
of sliver in 1873 prices decreased. In 1878
the Grnut-Allisou law was passed, and
gave us u llttlo help in arresting tho fall
lug prices. In '90 tho Shorniuu law was
passed and it advanced pricosa llttlo. In
'UJ that was repealed, and I say that money
is decreasing nnd commodities Increasing.
In tho last twenty yoars evory ludustry
has slowly but markedly decreased in re
tard to tho prlco obtained for Us output."
"Tho government has tho option of pay
ing its obligations in either coin, Then,
who wants tho goldf Wo don't nocd It.
Hub I'll toll you who doo want It. Wall
street wants It, and Lombard stroot wunts
It.
"I you wont to favor aeafo government,
If you want to havo equal rights to all and
discrimination to none, then you want to
go alone witli those of us who wish to re
store bimetallism to this country. Tho
reason why they bay a sllvor dollar Is only
worth fifty cents is on account ot this very
ueiuunuirzuiiuu or silver, anil tno silver
dollar will bo worth n hundred cents when
tho demonetization is wiped out. If four
utitlom eould nml-.o a ratio and keep it
one country, which 1 equal In com
merce to the four, could do It."
When Mr, Smith Win Introduced the re
ception wus equally as ontlnislastio us that
given to Mr. Orlsp.
"In opposing the free oolnngo of sil
ver," ho said, "I want you to distinctly
understand that I mako no light on sllvor
ns a final payment and as legal t under.
When wo opppu this plan of freo oolnngo
at 10 to 1 wq bellovo Its advocates will un
derstand its effects. Wo oppose It because.
we do not bullovo that It will glvo you
what you want. In "73 wo had in gold
and silver tlSO.OOO.QJO and now wo havo
11,170,000,000, olght, times as much monoy
as wo had when sllfrur was demonetized.
Tho advocates of freo colnugo mislead you
when they say that wo wish to contract
tho curronoy,
"dupposo that.thin-e wns such n law as
to allow you to col u thirty grains of silver
into dollars, two or wcnty grains of gold
Into n dollar, do you(thlnk that you would
carry your twenty grains to bo mado into
a dollar when you hpaU oxehnugo it nt
the Jowolors' shop f'oij sixty grains of sil
yor, enough to coin into two dollars? No,
tho gold would not bo coined. I am hero
tonight not to llghtblmotnlllsm, but sil
ver monometallism.!- It's uot the actual
vulue ot the ilollar.ter the credit of the
country winch puts tho valuo on it' which
makes tho dollar.
"Tho dlfferenco which tho freo colnngo
ndvocatos wish to mako U 50 per cent.
They want 1(1 to 1 when gold Is worth
thlrty-ono times as much us silver. I am
well nwaro that It Is easier to capttvato an
audience by reference to Wall street and
Lombard stiect than It Is to present solid
facts. My friend played to tho prejudices
of tho I'opullsn In this district and I havo
IV doubt but that It was only they who
applauded him.
i .( iilnri to sustain tho ratio of silver
and gold at 15 to 1 has been tried by five
natluus combined and failed. Tho price
of silver b camo cheaper, and they about
to becomo auver monometallic. Why not
have a ratio of 02 to If Then wo would en
)oy all the comforts of bimetallism, ac
cording to my dlxtlngulshed frlond.
"The silver Idea Is unlike Jefferson's
teaching; It is unlike Jackson's teachings
nnd It is uullko tho teachings of Grover
Clovolhud. It Is more llko tho doctrine
of Mr. Jones of Novada, Mr. Bryant of
Nohrnska and Tom Watson of Georgia.
"I hhvo no lntorest In this Issue other
than ns a citizen ot Georgia. I wish you
to study the question before you tnko tho
fatal plunge. It Is uot for tho good of the
bondholders, but for tho constituents of
both of us, and thoy havo not a bond in
tho world. Tho worklngmen of Fulton
county nro my frlonds. and God knows
that I would rather put my arm In tho
flamo and burn It than to advocate a law
that would injure them.
"Tho gentloman should toll you that wo
havo cut off $25,000,001 from unjust pen
sions. Wo nro not ruining you, and don't
get frightened. I bellovu that If tho pres
ident had only served ono term ho would
bo ro-electcd, and boforo his term was over
ovory ono of you would bless him for his
good work for you.
"Brlelly, I suggest to you a lino of rem
ody. It is this, glvo sllvor tho right of
vmy. Call In all your gold undor tlO, and
let your silver bo tho only currency under
that amount. 13ut, gentlemen, I bellovo
that tho future succoss of tho Democratic
party Is lnvolvod, and tho mora tho ques
tion Is studied tho more the pooplo will
shod tho frills and films nnd seo the proper
policy to bo pursued on tho fluancliil ques
tion." At llreen's Itlulto Cafe.

The First of April Brings Many Changes
of Locations.
SOME OF THE BUSINESS REMOVALS
Qcorgo W. Keiter Takes Possession of His
New PlaceStock Takes a Drop in L. J.
Wilkinson's Temporary Quarters and
Causes a Postponement.
April 1st, tho great day of removals and
harvest day of tho practical jokers, mado
itself felt in town to-day, especially with re
spect to removals. Early this morning be
lated tenants were observed making gigan
tic efforts to vacate premises lioro and there,
while carpenters and other mechanics com
menced ripping, hammering and sawing at
parts of the buildings preparatory to making
repairs and improvements for tho incoming
tenants. Henceforth the carpenters, plum
bers, tinsmiths and painters of town will be
kept busy. A moro promising season has not
been foreshadowed for soveral years. The
transfers of real estate were many during
the past year and many changes in tenancies
have been made necessary by theui. Ite
niovals havo been frequent during the past
month or two, but to-day tho grand exodus
started and a wherc-am-I-at expression lias
settled upon many facos. Just why April 1st
should bo the date for such an event moro
than any other dato on tho calendar no one
can explain. Ask a lawyer and ho will tell
you it is because a great majority of tho
leases expire on that date. Ask almost any
body else and you will bo told tho Nime
thing; but put the question to a man who is
studiously employed in putting together a
misfit stovo pipe and your curiosity will cease.
Tiio scene of most active operations to-day
was on Main street where two of tho most
prominent business houses were forced to
mako changes of locations. One of them
was the house of G. W. Keiter, the grocer
and carpet dealer. The building ho occupied
at tho southeast corner of Main and Lloyd
street was purchased about a year ago by L.
J. Wilkinson, the dry goods dcilcr. It was
only recently that Jlr. Keiter succeeded in
securing a new location. Ho got part of the
Wasley property on tho west side of Main
street, just below Lloyd, lately vacated by
11. A. Swalm, who has given up tailoring and
becoming interested in a file manufacturing
business lu Philadelphia. These quarters aro
exceedingly small at present and forMr.Kciter
to try and move into them is llko attempting
to squeeze a whiskey barrel into a beer keg,
but ho was obliged to move and commenced
operations early this morning. At the same
timo a largo force of men havo com
menced tho work of making alterations and
improvements to the new quarters, and in a
few days Mr. Keiter will soon havo a much
larger and convenient place than tho old ono
was. A third story is being put on tho build
iug to a depth of about forty feet and a two.
story addition that will make a store room on
tho first fioor 75 feet deep and all'ord largo
quarters for a carpet room on the second
lloor is now under way.
Tho building Mr. Keiter is vacating will
soon be a thing uf the past. L. J. Wilkinson
has plans complete to entirely remodel the
property for his own busiucss and intends to
make it o,no of tho most imposing and at
tractive ou .Main street,
Mr. Wilkinson was tho victim of a very
serious April 1st disappointment this morn
ing. As It will tako some time to complete
ills new building and ho did not wish to
remain in his old quarters in the Mellet
building, on South Main street, ho rented a
storeroom adjoining tho latter place. Ijist
night ho succeeded In getting tho new placo
arranged ready for business this morning,
Shortly after tho storo was opened all tho
shehes arranged on tho north sido of tho
storo tumbled down, dumping tho stock on
the fioor and over the counter, smashing tho
glass In the doors of the entrance, damaging
two show cases, blocking tho front entrance
and causing Mr. Wilkinson to postpono tho
opening of the place until Friday morning.
Policeman Thomas Leo to-day moved his
household cuects from tho Hell property at
tho west cud of Coal street to his now homo,

F. It. Sliollenijorger to-day moved to u farm

has vacated will bo occupied by Mrs. Mary
