MORTON ON BIMETALLISM.
A Reply to the Criticisms Made by
Grange Papers.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 24.-Secre-
tary Mortons attention was today called
to the fact that he was being criticised, espe-
cially by some Of the grange papers, for the
statements contained in the following para
graph, which appeared toward the close Of
his last annual report
when the standard coin Of the republic
shall be made of metal worth as much af-
ter it is melted as it purports to be worth
in coin and the mint value and the bullion
value Of all coined money is nearly the
same. will not the American farmer and
all other citizens become more permanent
ly prosperoUs?'
In reply the secretary said he thought
that no more an invasion of the economic
domain. no more a discussion Of finance
han that made by Secretary Rush in his
report Of 1890, wherein he declared:
The recent legislation looking to the
restoration of the bimetallic standard Of
our currency and the consequent enhance
ment of the value of silver has unquestion-
ably had much TO do with the recent ad-
vancement in the price Of cereals"
This said Secretary Morton, referred
to the Sherman law which has recently
vanished from the statute books without
having accomplished the vast rise in the
price Of cereals which it was prophesied
would be logical sequence OF Its enact
ment."
But the secretary said he still held that
the farmers with their surplus products buy
money. and that it is as important for them
to demand the highest quality in the money
they buy, as it is for the consumers Of farm
products to demand the highest quality in
them.
But" continued the secretary, admit
ting that the American farmer would get
twice as much in silver for the product as
ne would get in gold Gf We were on a sill
yer basisl would he not have to pay for all
those things which he is q liged TO purchase
likewise. twice as much he pays now?
Or, is it understood that free coinage will
be like the protective tan.f-so adjusted
as to raise the price OF all the farmer sells
and lower the price OF all he has to buy
Can it be possible that farmers are gullible
enough to believe that nobody else's services
or products are TO be doubled in value by
free coinage except his own?''

SAVANNAH. Ca. Dec. 2f.-Special tele-
grams this afternoon from reliable parties
Al Quitm3n Ca. throw a different light
on the wholesale slaughter OF negroes In
that county The dispatches say:
Never before in the history Of Brooks
county has there been 50 much crime and
bl9odsAed as within the past few days. Six
murders have been committed within the
past week. News mas just been received
OF outrages committed IN the Morven dis
trict Of this county that will almost equal
the hide3us crimes recently perpetrated
upon inoffenslve Armenians. = few nights

man, was shot down in the road at night
by David Pike, a negro Friends Of Isham

some of the clJlzens say this IS not true;
that Isham was trying 70 XII the negro,
but the negro GOT the better of il. Isham-s
friends armed themselves and went IN
search Of Pike. Not succeeding in this,
they went to the house Of Samuel Taylor,
an lnoffenslve old negro, who Is the step
father of Pike. and threatened II he
did not tell Wnere Pike was they would
Kill him. Taylor affirmed that he did not
know anything about il and he was imne-

the house of Ell Frazer. who has always
borne the reputation Of being good ne

short distance and when his wife found
him he was lying murdered on the road
side From Frazer's they went to the
house Of Harry Sherwood, an innocent ne
gro who was also f0ully murdered. It is
reported that the murderers. after they
had killed the innocent negroes, entered
their houses and subjected their wives and
daughters 10 the most cruel and barbarous
Outraga5 ever committed in a civilized
country.
A detailed account would be too horrible
TO appear in print. The murderous gang Is
still al large and some Of the negroes are
leaving the community for protection. An
inquest was held over the body OF Samuel
Taylor and the c1roner's jury returned a
verdict Of murder at the hands Of Judge
Tillman and BIZ Alderman. Sheriff

INCONSOLABLE GRIEF.
Three Hundred Negroes Mourn mt the
Funeral of the Late Senator.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec 24.-The funeral
of ex-United States Senator j. L. Alcorn
at Eagle Nest, Miss, presented, perhaps,
the most weird scene ever witnessed in this
country. The obsequies were attended by
300 negroes, the majority Of whom were
the former slaves of the dead senator. The
negroes were inconsolable in their grief
and gave vent to their feeling In shrieks,
religious songs and prayers. At the grave
the old gray-haired colored men threw
themselves upon the coffin and finally had
to be removed by force in order to allow
the body to be buried.

ing Of miners at Nelsonville, in the Hooking

read the accounts of the bitter strike in the
Hooking valley and il made him feel resent

Of the present opportunity TO congra tulate
the miners on the result Of that strike. He
criticised the American government and in

off here In many respects than in England.
He did not think the agitation against for

would involve more people.
