 The Bland-Allison bill for the coinage of silver had been running from 1878 to 1892, and yet there was no drain upon the gold reserve even when President Cleveland in 1884 sent his anti-silver let ter into congress.
 The late financial crisis which produced the present hard times, the president at tributes to the coinage of silver He necessarily finds it very difficult to ex- plain how the silver purchase act, which went into operation in 1S7s should have taken so long to produce a crisis, the country not feeling the effect of it until fifteen years later He seeks to explain this weakness in his argument by attrib- uting the crisis to the act of 1890, which increased the amount of silver purchased annually by the government.
 If that act was the cause of the crash" says the New Orleans Times-Democrat, "ft ought to have had some effect immediately. but it was three years be- fore it was felt. That the purchases of silver had nothing to do with the crisis can easily be seen from the very similar crash which came in Australia, where there was no purchase of silver but where gold standard prevailed Com pelled to recognize that the trouble came from the exports of gold and the raid on the gold reserve, MT. Cleveland att tributes that raid to the purchase of silver, and bases on it an attack both on silver and the greenbacks, instead of seeing that the trouble lay in the unwise policy adopted by him and his secretary of paying out gold for treasury notes, in- stead of gold and silver. as France does and as our own law commands. MT Cleveland admits that his secretary of the treasury violated the provision of the law, which in allowing the payment of gold and silver for these notes practically ordered that they should be paid in both metals. so as to prevent a famine in either"

The past season has been the most urosperous one for years Tor the fdh River factories, and in spite Of the ract that it was a year of depression ana stagnation in business, the mills made better dividends during the hard times of 1895 than in 1892. when the country was supposed to be enjoying the maxi mum of prosperity. The reason has al ready been given-the low price or cot ton Several industries-among them cotton nufacturing--prosper during eras of depression, because the hard times reduce the price of the raw mate rials which they chiefly use in manufac- turing.

Senator Morgan complains that Sir Iu- Han Pauncefote has criticised ms speeches in the senate. In the senators s own phrase, the ambassador has ar raigned" him for opinions uttered in de- bate on the floor of the senate. This he thinks "a piece of presumptuous arro- cance on his part" Unquestionably it is so The British ambassadors busi' ness is to speak of the views of this gov ernment and not of the opinions of fndi- viduals who are in congress. It was simply impertinence for Sir Julian Pauncefote to arraign the senator from Alabama for words spoken in debate. Sir Julians business is with the admin istration and not with members of con- qrPsS.

 Behind barred doors." The door was wide open to all invited visitors.-Kolb's s Tribune.
 The above is one way to cover up the truth. The State Herald reporter was politely invited to step out of the Rep.- Pop. meeting of last Saturday, to which the above refers. To a gentleman such an invitation is ever equal to "barred doors" in it's liberal sense And again, Kolb's Tribune recently referred to Edi- tor Nunnellce of the Selma Times, former business manager of the State Herald, as the editor of the State Herald-anoth- CT intentional honesty on the part of the pharisaical editor of Kolb's Tribune hoping thereby to impress the fact that there was a. disagreement as to the pol icy of the State Herald.

The Fifty-fourth congress should not hesitate to act favorably upon the presl dents recommendation to issue $500.O0 GOO of bonds to retire the greenbacks and treasury notes on account of any appre- bension that the obligations cannot be readily fioated. It is reported that the cold standard advocates in Alabama have already organized syndicate for inc nurchase of the entire issue. The Montgomery Advertiser and Mobile Reg ister are said to be the controlling spirits in the movement and will absorb at least two-thirds of the bonds. There Is mo little impatence among the members of the syndicate that there must be necessary delay of few weeks before the transaction can be completed.
 To maintain a gold reserve on which the sharpers of Wall street and else where may make runs and thereby ere ate panics at their pleasure, and for their profit, by the beating down and destruc- ton of legitimate values and bus mess. the people of the United States within about twenty months have been loaded with an in creased interest charge of S6,496,0 GOO per annum. MT. Cleveland in his message, which is plain confession of the failure of his financial policy, proposes to add to the burden from 900 to $20.000.- tJ0 more per annum. the interest on $500.- O0n 100 of bonds to be used to retire the Sherman certificates and greenbacks in order that the banks may use them as means for monopolizing and controll- ing the currency at will and gorge them selves by the plunder of the country. Aiabama's share of the principal of this indebtedness of about s660, 900 would be at least s15OOO0Oo and the annual tax to pay the interest on it somewhere about $500, 900! And this is MT Clevelands only and wonderful remedy for the fills of our critical finan- cial plight"

Every populist and republican, if they speak sincerely. would be delighted to see Captain Johnston put forward next year as the democratic leader. It is al- ways foolish to follow the enemy's pref erence in a, battle. The democracy of Alabama will not do it next year any more than last.-Advertiser.
 On the contrary. every populist and republican would be delighted to see a man nominated who cannot draw their men away from them. In 1894 they worked against Captain Johnston be- cause they believed him to be the most formidable man against them.

How does MT. Cleveland's proposition to convert the non-interest bearing debt of the government consisting of green backs and treasury notes to the amount of $5OO,OO0,000, into interest bearing obli- gations to that amount for the purpose of maintaining the republican financial system now in force, please the advo- cates of the single gold standard? ; The expense in the way of interest would amount to only about $15,O00,O0 900 to $2D,- 100000 per annnIn; small sum- to be sure, in view of the immense prosperity that has prevailed throughout the coun- try under the influence of that system.

There are few men who by some accident have
