What is Free Coinage?

An exchange having been Frequent
Is asked to define "free coinage of
silver wrote to the Treasury Depart
ment, at the capital and the Director
Of the Mint replied as follows;
''Tbe free and unlimited coinage OF
silver means the copfering Of the
right upon individuals TO take silver
Of any kind to the mints and have
every 372 pure grains OF it. stamped
free Of charge, into dollar, which is
a full legal tender for its face value in
the payment of debts and obligations
Of all kinds in the United States"
Putting it in other words, an ounce
OF silver (4S0 grains), which is worth
now in open market % cents, viii
pass, under the operations Of the free
coinage bill, should ii become a law,
for $1.29. A speculator who bought
100 ounces for sos would get from the
government $l20 in national currency
making clear by the transaction,
thirty-one dollars. Or, for seventy
five dollars and seventy-nine cents
worth of silver bullion he would get
one hundred silver dollars, or silver
certificates,
This would be a good trade for the
holder of silver bullion, or the specu-
lator who bought it, but the govern
ment would lose what the individual
gained. The question now before the
country is, whether this would be
good policy whether the greater good
would accrue to the greater or the
smaller number. AS our personal in
terests lead, so our thoughts are in
clincd. Let the debate proceed.--L

Summer Mulohing.

There are quite lunlber oC plants

the season is very dry. Tomatoes

done the growth viii be lmsatisfac-

light. Properly applied good mulch
not only retains moisture in the soil,
but it adds to draw il from the sub
soil by capillary attraction.
Ieis best TO have the soil in good
filth before applying a mulch, and to
apply before the soil gets too dry. A
mulching of dry soil can be made of
considerable benefit in retaining
moisture in the soil, but if applied
care must be taken not to stir SO deep
as TO disturb the undersoil aftorward.
Bagassee, straw, leaves, cut cornstalks,
old bay or grass can be used for
mulching, or sawdust, coal ashes or
rocks, using the material that can be
secured conveniently and at lowest
cost Rocks or stones make good
mulch, especially for evergreens Of all
kinds, as well as strawberries. Coal
ashes make a good muck for peach
trees, currents and raspberries, cspe-

a. M. E. CONFERENCE.
"A Distinguished Gathering of
CoIored PreIates.
THE ROANOKE TIMES BUREAU,
HOTEL LUCERNE, SALEM, VA.


The most interesting sight to be seen
In Salem at present is the A. NJ. E. Con-
ference in it's sittings. Bishop Way
man is o portlY colored preacher, coal
black, but with deal of intelligence
and an unboundcd capacity for the
transaction of business, and when this
is said it is saying good deal. The
negro preacher is a born orator, and
many of the uneducated among them
tell truths in their uncouth ways that
bear down on the nearer with double
force.
However, there are colored preachers
of much intelligence, having the best
of educations, among the delegates to
A. NJ. e. conference.
In their discussions tho greater num-
Der of the preachers never made
grammatical error What may he con-
sidered remarkable (although it is only
confirmatory of Charles A. Dana's re-
cent utterance concerning the Southern
negro) is that the A. M. E. conference
sitting in Salem is black conference.
Out of the one hundred preachers pres
ent, THE TINES correspondent could
not count over twelve through whose
veins coursed white blood, if that eX-
pressive expression may be used. And
it may also be said that none of the
mulattoeS of the conference exhibited
greater intelligence than the negroes.
The bishop and the two secretaries who
set one on either side of him are all
full blooded negroes.
The bishop wears gold-rimmed glasses,
through which CLEAN two bright
searching eyes. He is well rounded up
from having been "blessed in basket
and store" and his gray hair does not
detract from his jolly appearance, In
short the bishop if he were not good
"A. M. E. bishop, might be mistaken for
a Friar Tuck.
The bishop sits down fat on too much
talking, and when the debates wax too
warm, he puts the vote and leaves the
orator still standing on the floor.
Rev. e. H. Baden, the secretary, is
as black as the ace of spades, but he is
one of the best orators in the confer.
ence, and in his personal appearances
and fluency of speech he resem bles the
North Carolina colored preacher, Rev.
Charles Price, the president of the col
ored college at Salisbury, N. c.
At the session yesterday morning the
following colorcd candidates in the first
class were admitted as local preachers:
John D.. Curtis, Frank w. OvertOn, from
A. M. E. Zion church of North Carolina.
The ordinance papers of Moses Mat
thews, from the Baptist Church, were
recognized, though his application from
the quarterly conference was not re-
ceived, as it was not in due form, the
presiding elder having made a mistake
in making it out.
Kip Richardson was not admitted, be-
cause it was rumored that he had two
wives. AN old colored preacher tried to
get him in. saying no wanted little
mercy mixed up in this here thing, but
the conference was inexorable.
S. W. Watkins, w. j. White, A. A.
Bailey and Robert Timberlake were ad-
mitted on trial. Felix Reid, from the
third class, was continued, because the
conference thought he was mon compos
