Every man is deeply interested in putting down the mob spirit, for he knows not but that he may be the next victim. So open have men become In defiance of law that they engage in a lynohing without even taking the precaution to conceal their faces. This shows a most deplorable and dangerous disregard for the majesty of the law. This indicates that public opinion is often on the side of the lynchers. This must not be-the people must condemn such acts. The constitution guarantees every man protection to life, liberty and property, but how can this protection be maintained when men take the law in their own hands. Lynch law leads to an- archy, and anarchy to overthrow of all government. The press, pulpit and all moral agencies cannot too severely con- demn mob law and warn the people agains. it's legitimate results.

LEGAL HOLIDAY YS.

We often hear sermon from the text, ssRemember the Sabbath day,' but rarely, if ever, do we hear a sermon from the text, ''Six days shalt thou labor.o o Yet the latter command is as imperative as the other. The preachers seem to think that men do not need to be impressed with the duty of labor-they are taught this lesson by their necessities, by their ava rice, by their ambition. h fact, the Americans take life too seriously. As rule they work too hard. They seem to go on the supposition that they have two lives-one in which to accumulate for tune, another in which to enjoy 1t. If this were true, then the rush and worry of the present life would be. justified. But 1t is not true. This life is all of it, so far as physical enjoyment is concerned. There is no such thing as carrying our treasures into the next world. This duty of work ing and it's necessity is impressed upon the boy in his earliest youth. He hears the family talking about the trade or profess sion he must pursue when he becomes a man. Very often he is thrown upon the world to earn a living before he reaches aais majority. Even the sons of wealthy hnen are taught some avocation. There is no leisure class in this country except a Hew very rich people and hobos. The ne- cessity for work being thus early in- Htilled into the boys mind, he plunges into the vortex of business life and pursues his calling with fierce energy. 1t is more necessary to caution him against over-exertion than to incite him to renewed exertions. Then compe- titon is sharp. A man knows if he lags in his work there are hundreds of men ready Do take his place. In the large cities es- 6ecially is competition sharp, and while 1he prizes are brilliant, it requires harder work to win them. This struggle leads to overwork, overworry and an early decline. The average length of life in a great city is thirty years, while in the country it is forty years. The close confinement of the city, its bad air and late hours sap man s vitality. The population of g great city would soon die out but for the fresh blood it is constantly absorbing from the coun- try Therefore the necessity for rest is urged by public teachers more than the necessity for work. Even the State steps in and compels men to take needed rest by setting apart certain days as legal holi- days, and by forcibly enjoining the ob- servance of the Sabbath. Without this socialistic step on the part of the State it is probable that men would work all the time.

Al TO TARIEE

1.-the country becomes prosperous under the new tariff bill tue protective theory will probably never be heard of again, The principle of tariff reform, that before the war was so popular, will again prevail overwhelmingly. h 1S46 tue Walker tariff was adopted. It was a revenue re- form measure, and became so popular and the country prospered to such an extent that the tendency was toward a still lower tariff. The Democrats gained control of the government in 1852 and become @ free trade party. In 1857 a still lower tariff measure was passed. The war coming on it became necessary for the government to raise large sums of money, and resort was had to the protective policy. It was war measure and should have been abol- ished immediately after the war, but it's visionary promises of prosperity had taken such hold on the public mind that it could not be uprooted Hancock was de- feated because he declared that the tariff was a local question. Cleveland's tariff reform message defeated his reelection in 1888. But gradually the public mind has swung round in favor of tariff for revenue only, and this sentiment promises to grow for years to come.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTIONS.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTIONS.
 The nine Congressional districts of Ala bama hold their conventions today for the renomination of Democratic candidates for Congress, and the AaE-RERALD will to- morrow contain proceedings of each of these conve ntions, having sent special staff correspondents to each point where the Conventions are to be held. The fol- lowing places are honored by the presence of the party's representatives; First dis trict, Mobile; Second district, Greenville; Third district, Union Springs; Fourth dis trict, Anniston; Fifth district, Wetumpka; Sixth district, Guin; Seventh district, Cullman; Eighth district, Decatur; Ninth district, Blount Springs.
 The strongest fight on tapis seems to be in the Sixth (Bankhead' District, at Guin. A staff correspondent of the AGE- HE RALD who is on the ground wires us of the prob- ability of a protracted session there. In the Fourth District it is said that MT. Robbins lacks one vote of a majority. and with his own county against him there is probability of sharp contest there. The other districts promise easy work.

MOB VIOLENCE.

Several days ago two negroes who had been convicted of murder were lynched in Bullock county, and the AGE- HERALD severely condemned the lawIess act at the time. A similar outbreak of the mob spirit has just taken place near Memphis.
 Six negroes charged with barn burning were riddled with bullets. The lawless spirit which finds it's vent in a lynching seems on the increase instead of decrease. It is the great danger which threatens our Institutions. There is no limit to the ex- cess of the mob spirit when 1t once breaks loose. The innocent is as apt to suffer as the guilty. It may be directed toward
 wealth, instead of toward crime. Already have we seen in this country display of auimosity toward corporations and toward rich men, and for no other reason than because of their wealth.

HoP E is 8 strong stimulus to action, and action is the creator of industry and general progress and prosperity. The dis cussion of the tariff question, the strikes and general disorganized status of labor have made our long season of financial dis tress most dreadful, and hard to bear, but the patience of the American people has been no more severely tested and beauti- fully demonstrated than right here at home. Light Is breaking now, and hope is cheering us on every side-a hope, too, which is fixed on faith and reason. We are on the eve of another most prosperous season. Glorious crops are being harvested, manufactures are again starting up, an in- crease in the earnings of railroads Is noted, and capital and labor have again joined hands and are feeling better as the fall ap- breaches. It is estimated that the yield of the three great staple products of the United States this year will be of corn 1 ,600, GOO, GOO bushels wheat 600, ,0O0, 900 bushels, cotton 1000, ,OO0 bales.

GOLD AND SILVER FACTS.

Atlanta Journal.
 The report of MT. Preston, director of the United States mint, for the calendar year 1893 con tains some very valuable informa- tion as to the worlds production and coin- age of gold and silver, and the varying value of the two metals.
 The facts thus presented have an impor- tant bearing on the coinage question. The report, page 270, gives the following figures for the coinage of the nations: Total coinage of gold 1891 .....$119, ,534, 122 Total coinage of gold 1ee2....... 172,473, PA Total coinage of gold 1893. ...... 231 ,s62, 53o Total coinage of gold for three

But we look up and see that the heavens have adopted the silver standard. We see the silver tinted clouds, the silvery stars and the crescent moon shining like an argent on the breast of night. Earth and heaven together have adopted tho double standard. Hence, the man who wants the earth and expects to get to heaven must be bimet- allist.
