Washington, March 16.—Representative
Patterson of Tennessee made public' to-day
the following letter, which he received
this morning from Secretary Carlisle:
Treasury Department, (Alice of the Sec
retary, Washington, D. C„ March 16, 1896.
—Hon. Josiah Patterson, House of Repre
sentatives.
My dear sir: Your favor of the Tth was
duly received and ought to have l>een an
wered at once, but the pressure of official
business has compelled me to delay a re
sponse until now. You state that in a
speech delivered by Hon. Charles F. Crisp ]
In the House of Representatives on the
14th day of February, that gentleman said:
•‘He (meaning the Secretary of the Treas
ury) refuses to give sliver for gold because
he must hold the silver to pay silver certi
ficates and Sherman notes issued under |
the act of 1890, and when a Sherman note
is issued under the act of 1890, Is presented i
he redeems it in gold anil not in sliver.
What mockery is this; what sort of friend
ly treatment is accorded silver by this
law and the practice that obtains at the
treasury of the United States?" And you
ask me to “state, how you (1) have dealt
with the silver currency since your (my)
incumbency of the office of Secretary of
the Treasury, and whether you (1) have.
In dealing with the subject, discredited
silver ?”
In answer to your question 1 can only
say that in all the operations of the treas
ury department during my administration
of its affairs the legal tender gold and
silver coins of the United States have been
treated precisely alike, except that greater
efforts have been made to keep silver coins
in circulation than have been made to
keep gold coins in circulation.
The amount paid out by the department
In silver coins and silver certificates
greatly exceeds the amount paid out in
gold coins and gold certificates, and in no
Instance has the least discrimination been
made against silver or its paper represen
tatives. In no instance has silver or silver
certificates been refused in payment of a
debt or demand due the government, and
in no instance has the government refused
to pay silver coins or silver certificates in
the discharge of its obligations when the
holders of Che obligations demand or re
quested such payment. When the t’nlted
States notes or treasury notes are pre
sented for redemption, gold is paid if it
Is demanded, and if silver Is demanded
silver is paid. Thus the coins of the two
metals are treated exactly alike In mak
ing payments by the government, as well
as In the discharge of debts due to the
government. It has always l>een the
policy of the treasury deparlment to en
courage the use of silver to the largest
possible extent, and in order to accomplish
this standard silver dollars will be sent by
express at the expense of the government
to any one who will deposit an equivalent
amount in silver certificates or in treasury
notes of IS9O with the United
Gtates treasurer or any assis
tant treasurer, or with a national bank
depository, and subsidiary silver coins will
be sent by express at the expense of the
government to any one who will deposit
with such officers or banks, any kind of
United States currency or national bank
notes, but gold is not sent to anybody free
of charge.
In August, 1893, there was a great and
unusual demand in nearly every part of
the country for currency of small denomi
nations, and In Its attempts to supply this
demand the treasury department paid out.
in defraying the expenses of the govern
ment and in exchange of other forms of
currency, all the silver that could be law
fully used for these purposes, so that for
a short period it was compelled to sus
pend payment In standard silver dollars
except in the redemption of silver certi
ficates, and upon deposits of silver certifi
cates and treasury notes of 1890. The law
authorizing the issue of silver certificates
upon deposits of silver provides that "the
coin deposited for or representing the cer
tificates shall be retained in the treasury
for the payment of same on demand.” It
is therefore plain that whenever the
amount of silver dollars In the treasury
does not exceed the amount of silver cer
tificates outstanding the Secretary of the
Treasury cannot, without a violation of
the law. pay out such silver, except for
the redemption of certificates. At such
times he has no more right to exchange
eilver dollars for gold than he has to pay
them out in any other manner.
But there is also another fund in the
treasury which is required by law to
be held for a different purpose. It con
sists of the bullion and the standard
silver dollars coined from the bullion pur
chased under the act of July 14, 1890. That
act provides for the purchase of sliver
bullion at the market price and the is
sue of treasury notes in payment for It,
and It also declares that “no greater or
less amount of such notes shall be out
standing at any time than the cost of the
silver bullion and the standard silver dol
lars coined from the amount held in the
treasury purchased by such notes."
Under this provision the secretary is re
quired to keep in the treasury at all times
an amount of silver bullion, at its cost
price, and In standard dollars coined from
the purchased bullion exactly equal to
the amount of treasury notes outstand
ing, and he cannot, therefore, lawfully
use such standard silver dollars except
for the redemption and cancellation of
treasury notes.
My letter to the United States Senate
upon which Mr. Crisp's statement seems
to have been based, was written on Aug
17, 1893, and at that time there was no
free silver in the treasury, that is there
were no standard silver dollars in the
treasury, except such as the law required
to be held for the redemption of silver
certificates and the treasury notes of 1890
and these redemptions were made at ali
times during that month and every other
month when these forms of currency was
presented. During the month of August
1893, treasury notes to the amount of $1 1
273,267 were redeemed in silver, and can
celled, and since the first day of August
1893, the total amount of such notes re
deemed in silver and cancelled is sl9 53$ 72>
Prior to my administration of the affairs
of the department none of these notes had
been redeemed In silver or cancelled
Since the beginning of this administra
tion nearly $110,000,000 has been procured
In exchange for other forms of currency ‘
Of this amount. $8,915,812 has been pro
cured in exchange for silver coin, and
$10,329,330 in exchange for stiver certifi
cates. The department has never refused
to exchange silver for gold, when it had
silver that could be lawfully
used for that purpose. and if
it had so refused. I am wholly unable to
see how ft could be considered a discrimi
nation against silver. Is a refusal to pay
out gold in exchange for silver a discrimi
nation against gold? If not. it of course
follows that a refusal to pay out silver for
gold is not a discrimination against silver.
In response to your verbal inquiry con
cerning the coinage of standard silver dol
lars during the present administration,
you are advised that it amounts to the
sum of $6,662,000, up to the 15th day of this
month, while the whole amount of such
dollars coined in this country from the
establishment of the mint in 1792 up to Feb
ruary, 1878. a period of eighty-six years
was $8,030,000.
I inclose herewith a copy of my letter to
the United States Senate referred to
above. Very truly yours,
J. G. Carlisle.

The Men Accused of the Crime Cnn
vlelcd.
Stimterville, Fla.. March 16.—T0-day
James Hopson, Dabney B. Palmer and Bill
Henderson were convicted of the abduc
tion of Miss Grace Darrell, after a trial
lasting nearly a week.
The three men and Miss Darrell are
residents of Center Hiil, a small railroad
station in Sumter county. Miss Darrell
is a pretty girl, 17 years old. who resides
at Center Hill, with Mr. and Mrs. James
Armstrong. Miss Darrell is from Fort
Erie, Canada.
Messrs. Hopson and Palmer are promi
nent young white men. Palmer being a
nephew of W. B. Lamar. attorney general
of Florida. Kill Henderson is a negro.
Miss Darrell was abducted on Thurs
day night, Feb. 30. Search was made for
her, but she was not discovered until
Saturday, Feb. 22. She was found tied to
a tree in the woods about three miles
from the Armstrong residence, nearly
dead from fright and exposure. Her cloth
ing had been torn from her. When she
revived she said that when she stepped
out in the Armstrong yard on Thursday
night she was seized and gagged and
borne Into the woods, where she was
stripped and tied to the tree. She recog
nized her abduclors as Hopson. Palmer
and Henderson. Miss Darrell said they
offered her every indignity short of ac
tual outrage.
The men were arrested and their trial
began last Tuesday. Miss Darrell’s story
was the only evidence offered by the
state. The defendants tried to prove ali
bis. Strange to say, no motive for the
abduction was brought out. as the girl
claimed the men had not dishonored her.
The case was hotly contested, some of
the ablest lawyers in the state being em
ployed. The defendants have appealed.
BOYNTON I\ THE RACE.
He Formally Announces His Candi
dacy for tlie Legislature.
Griffin, Ga.. March 16.—Ex-Gov. James
S. Boynton handed in his announcement
for representative of Spalding county to
night. It Is interesting to the state at
large and is in part as follow-s: “It has
been my purpose for several years never
again voluntarily to become an aspirant
for any office. The people of this county
have heretofore earnestly anil faithfully
supported me whenever 1 have sought a
position, ami believing, as I do, that this
appeal for me to become a candidate Is
sincerely made In good faith, 1 feel that
It would be ungrateful In me to refuse
their request. 1 do not favor establish
ing or maintaining a high gold standard
nor a single silver standard, as a basis
of value or as a financial policy, hut I do
favor and advocate the establishment of
such a safe system of bimetallism by the
free coinage of gold and silver at the
present ratio as will maintain at all times
the equal purchasing and dclit-pa.ving
power of every dollar coined or issued by
the United States. I also favor paying
the obligations of the government In coin
as prescribed in the contract. 1 am not
pledged either directly or indirectly to
vote for any one for senator, nor am 1
under any obligations to vote for or
against any one of the present or pros
pective candidates for that high office,
and If the voters of this county are called
upon to express by their vote in the dem
ocratic primary their choice for senator,
then I am free and pledge myself to vote
for the gentleman receiving the majority
of votes for senator. If no expression is
made at the primary, then, If elected, 1
will vote for the gentleman nominated by
the caucus of democratic members.”
Judge Boynton concludes by saying that
he will, if elected, support the temper
ance bill to abolish the barrooms.
TWO TRUANTS.
A Man Who Gave Them Ticket* Forc
ed to Bring Them Bark,
Atlanta, Ga., March 16.—Amnada Pass
and Bertha Collins, aged 14 and 17, re
spectively, for some time past inmates
of the Home for the Friendless, were tak
en by the matron to church, along with
a number of other girls from the insti
tution, last night. After the services, the
two decided that they would not return to
the home, but would make a dash for
liberty. When the matron reached the
home, she found the two girls mentioned
missing. The police mere notified at
once, and the town was given a general
turning over in search for them. This
morning it was discovered that the girls
hail been sent out of the city by V. E.
Orr, a school supply agent, with an of
fice In the Equitable building. When
Chief of Police Connelly called upon Orr,
he said that he had found the two girls on
the street last night. They were in dis
tress and he took them home. They de
clared that they would never return to
the home, where they said they had been
badly mistreated, and their story so work
ed on his feelings that he bought tickets
for them and sent them, one to Gaines
ville to relatives, and the other to Ellen
wood, a small station on the Western and
Atlantic railroad. In return for his kind
ness, the chief notified Orr that he would
have to go down into his purse for tlie
necessary funds to bring the runaway
girls back to the institution, where they
had been placed, or sufTer prosecution
for abduction. Telegrams were sent and
this afternoon both were sent back to the
home.
AMONG THE ATHENIANS.
One of the Fly-Away Negroes Be
lieved to Be in Town.
Athens, Ga., March 16.—William Jones,
the negro preacher who was knocked in
the head and robbed in this city Saturday
night, is thought to be Smith, the negro
preacher who was stirring up the fly away
negroes in Atlanta a few days ago. Smith
left Atlanta with money belonging to the
fly away crowd and has not been seen
since.
Jennings, the celebrated Baltimore
short stop is here to train the team for
two w-eeks.
Yesterday afternoon at Hill’s Baptist
church there came near being a riot.
Four negroes were expelled and then
wanted to tight right in church. This al
most led to a riot, which was finally sup
pressed.
The First Baptist church Is to have a
new edifice to cost SIB,OOO. The work of
tearing down the old building begins at
once. Dr. Young, the pastor of the
church, guarantees a $4,000 organ free of

DEATH'S HEAVY HAND.
Another Member of the Winchester
Family- Passes Away.
Americus, Ga.. March 16.—Dr. ,T. Win
chester died to-day, after four days' ill
ness with pneumonia. It is truly an afflict

child are both dangerously sick, the wife
with measles, the child with scarlet fever.
Another brother, Col. C, R. Winchester,
is completely overcome with nervous
prostration.

sick at their home in Harris county, un
able to leave their beds.
A Church Dedicated.
Oxford, Ga., March 16.—The new Metho
dist church of Midway is now completed
and was dedicated yesterday. The Mid
way people have met with no little oppo
sition from the Methodists of Covington.
This is due to the fact that the build
ing of this church could but cause a
division in the membership of the Cov
ington church. But owing to the un
tiring energy of the pastor. Rev. J. E.
Dickey, the building has been pushed
steadily forward, and the congregation
has a church which has cost between $3,000
and $4,000. It is built of brick and the In
terior is beautifully finished. The dedica
tory sermon was preached by Dr. War
ren Candler. Dr. Candler took his text
from the 21st, 22nd. 23d verses of tile first
chapter of Ephesians. Besides the people
of Midway and Covington, there was pres
ent a large number from Oxford, includ
ing citizens and students and professors
of Emory College.

With a better understanding' of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts—gentle efforts —pleasant efforts —
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any aetual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
al 1 important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase. that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufdctured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Cos. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
You are apt to overlook
the most important thing
when you select your Under
wear.
THE BRAND
Not important? Well, no;
unless it means something,
and the name “Jaeger” on a
piece of Underwear does
mean that there’s value back
of it,same as the impressions
on a bank note.
