THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
, STGCKS AND BONDS.

Ncvy York, May 15.-Today's stock
market was weak in tone, the result OF
extensive realizatlons and some short
selling by chronic bears who still re-
fuse to admit that there has been
change for the better In outside cohdi-
tions London sold heavily again ana
brokers here closely connected with the
leading bears were more active thah
for weeks. The theory was that the
prominent issues having had an aver
aye advance of over nine points since
March last, reaction was necessary.
The activity on the part OF the pears
and the selling to realize proiits re-
suited in q decline of y to 2M per cent.
ReadinC was especially weak. and on
sales of so, 100 shares half the stock fell
from a05, to lS2. Manhattan WAS sold
down from lis to ll5ia on the poor
statement for the March quarter.
Sugar fell ~ to ll5A: Louisville. New
Albany and Chicago preferred lE to
2GA; Jersey Central lls to 9S; Erie u to

to 10; Union Pacific IA to l5 and New
England iS, to i0h, and Southern Rai-
way preferred lis to S93s. Chicago Gas,
Dlstillers and Tobacco were relatively
flrmer than the general market. chi
cago Gas touched IS on rumors that tne
company will secure the legislation
needed by 1t to bring II in line with the
views OF the attorney general or llii-
nuis. Tobacco advanced on purchases
said to be for inside account and the
stock sold rs higa as lOTa. Disti!iers

day. The important developments of
the day was the advance in demand

ally good authorities, was OF the best,
but there were q number OF dispatches
received from ST. Louis which were of
Il totally different character. and these

 During the time have occupied the position my fellow citizens of Jefferson county have honored me with, have de- voted what little talent and physical en- ergy my Maker has endowed me with, solely to the interests of the people. I have devoted my life to Birmingham while some of those who now seek to as- sail my record were still in the nursery. I stood by the city when asdread scourge made it seemingly a place accursed of God. My record during those days of 1873 is well known to the few old citizens now in the city who stood together dur ing those trying times to nurse and care for suffering humanity. My political record is open to investigation l am not afraid to submit it to the world. This, am inclined to believe, is more than can be said of some who are now trying. to ruin me. I had determined not to annoy the public with a rehearsal of my pri- vate grievances, but the cowardly repro duction of the socalled Sun interview in the Daily State yesterday morning now that misfortune has overtaken me which is largely brought about by and through my efforts to aid in building up the interests of Birmingham. forces me to show up the animus of their con- temptible and persistent effort to destroy me- In conclusion I desire to say the gentleman with whom l had the inter- view misquoted me just enough to change the sense of the entire story. l did state that the Birmingham silver machine was attempting to form a coail- ton with the Populists with the under standing that the fight was to be made under the guise of Democracy and the immediate leadership of Capt. Joseph F. Johnston This information was given to MT. Frank V. Evans of the Age-Herald by a leading Populist who was bitterly opposed to the scheme.
 He further stated that Captain kolb was at the time at work on the Populite Executive Committee to bring about the aforesaid coalition, which, to the free silver contingent, appeared to be "a con summation devoutly to be wished" MT. Evans informant also positively stated that letter of application had been sent to Warner of the Ohio Silver League for S10,000 to be used by the Daily State and the Peoples Weekly Tribune.
 Governor Oates had the same informa- tion from a reliable source, and 1t has been the subject of general comment for several months.

DEMoCRAcy,s OUTLOOK.

There is a noticeable absence of the usual Republican boldness at this season. Not a prominently mentioned Presiden- tial possibility on the Republican side has had a single word to say of late on the question of currency-that theme which is so greatly absorbing public att tention, while the position of every Iead- ing Democrat, except, perhaps, our friend the Vice-President, has spoken out in laundering tones This lack of dar- ing courage by numbers of the g. o. D. is indeed noticeable and problematic. We must find a solution in the fact that re- turning prosperity under the Democratic administration is rolling in so rapidly as to put Republicans to thinking and wondering in amazement.
 The outlook for Democatic success in 1896 could not be better With the pass ing of the free silver craze and the com ing of good times the light of victory brightens the way. The Republicans ob- serve the conditions and are becoming more and more Respondent in regard to their success at the next Presidential election. A few weeks ago the hope of Republcanism was that the fight in Democratic ranks on the currency ques- ton would be sure to create great trou- ble among their enemies, break the lines, and make way for overpowering Repub- Iican victory Now the question, from a national point of view, is settled. Sound money is to be the slogan of Democracy, and upon that line the party will win.

In my judgment the sound money Democrats will be able to control the State Conven- tion next May and elect delegates to the National Convention" I also said I had been told by prominent Republicans since my arrival in the city (New YorO that the sound money Republicans of Ala bama would be advised by Eastern Re- publicans to give all the aid they could to the sound money Democrats in order to defeat the Free-Silver- Populite com bination.

sam Jones on Free silverloons.

Report Crystal Springs (AIiss) sermon.
 Rev. Sam P. Jones was then presented, and was greeted with deafening applause by the enthusiastic and expectant audi ence He confined himself to no partic- ular subject. speaking as fancy dictated. He recited at length the want Of common sense among the classes in America to- day, and cruShingly directed his acute satire and wit against the meandering 16 to 1 free silver shouters and calamity howlers. He said they know not where of they speak. Their brains, if they pos seSs any such commodity, must cer- tainly not be connected with their tongues. Their mouths are like pep per-box pistol; it goes off anywhere they touch it. They will lend no ear to req sonable and sound ideas; they are never affected by them; they pass in one ear and out the other for the very good req son that there is nothing inside to stop the words. He could have his head split open, filled with sawdust and sewed up and then make a better showing and advance more sane arguments than the independent, unlimited free silver heretic.
 If you were to go up to billy goat, catch him by the whiskers and say, T want to give you an idea,' before you can get the words half out of your lips the goat will but you down and go off to eat grass; it's the same way with the brainless slverite. Go up to him on the street, take him by the lapel of the coat and say, Let me put an 1dea m your head" he won't receive it; don't want it.; goes off and buys him some red lemonade and a package of peanuts. He wants to eat; don't care for enlightenment or knowledge. He is not only ignorant, but prejudiced as well, and ignorance and prejudice, which go hand in hand. is the curse of the world. The world goes crazy periodicallly. It was once crazy on the skating rink; then the bicycle fad misplaced it; then came the sub-treasury scheme, and now the country has gone clear off on the chimerical free silver scheme.
 He said it was like the stampede of cattle, which sometimes become frighten- ed by the most insignificant occurrence, them; the stampede spirit has to be in them. When once on the start nothing can stop them. If a precipice is reached those behind push the leaders over
 Such is the case with silver, free and unlimited 16 to 1ers. They are going down to obscurity. pushing the leaders and promoters of the heresy down before them.
 They, however, stand some show of reaching heaven. as God has made special provision for fools and children. Silver ties will get in on the former bench. But some of them are so prejudiced that if Gabriel blows golden trumpet they will just sit still and say, "No, I'm not goin to move" Their trouble is above their eyes; their heads need working on. Gods sun never shone upon such country as America today; a kind providence never furnished such a section for the poor man as is the south.
