which they mine and take to the mint pose this scheme do not claim that under free coinage the silver dollar would for the silver producer any more than for the cotton grower or the wheat grower or iron maker buy more than 50 cents worth of property of any sort; though we con cede to the silver producer thatit would lift from his shoulders heavy burden of fixed charges.
 Every intelligent advocate of sound money confesseS. too that if our farm CTS and manufacturers had no other interest to consult but the payment of old debts they would do well to vote for free coinage of silver; but we believe that few of our farmers or our other southern industries can afford to exchange all their prospects for the privilege of pay ing their debts at fifty cents on the dol lar. We believe that, except for bank rupts and possibly the silver miners, the chief concern of all producing inter- estS and all wage-earnerS in this country is the even, confident circulation, side by side, of all sorts of money of the United States, and the extension of our for eign trade-and that these interests do wisely in opposing any debasement of our currency.
 A stranger would expect to hear the stockholder in some of the heavily bond ed industries of this section clamoring for free coinage of silver. He will un- derstand their attitude when he learns that they own the bonds also. Being free from actual debt oppression, they are able to take counsel for an expanding and dividend-paying trade; they have no ears for the free silver hurrah

RUINOUS DEBTS

Cause the Silver Miners to Ag1tate TOT
 Fifty-Cent Legal Tender Dollar To the Age-Herald:
 If seems that some of our free coinage friends do not understand that 50 cents worth of silver bullion coined into dollar" can be worth dollar to the miner of the bullion, although, In the hands of a farmer or other producer or a wage earner, it will be worth only oo cents. Permit me to add few words to an explanation given in your editorial columns few days ago.
 Of course, for the purpose or paying debts, every legal tender dollar is worth a dollar" The silver mining concerns ,Iis are heavily in debt. Their business mas not prospered these late years and many of their properties have fallen Tn Value below the debts for which they are mort gagged Nothing else could benefit them so much as a scaling of their debts. Nat urally they are trying to persuade the country into a scheme which will enable them, with every dollars worth of silver

Was Last Nights Performance of Reach's
 Comedy Company at East Lake.
 A large crowd went out to East Lake last night to witness the second perform ance of the Reach Comedy company. There were three additions to the com pany last night, all local talent, and these were more favorably received than some of the others in the cast.
 The performance, as a whole did not give general satisfaction, there being many present who, perhaps, would have appreciated it more had it been Thomas O. Seabrook's and the cost not increased But yet there were conservative people who thought the performance not as good as promised.
 There was a manifest disposition on the part of those on the stage to make the entertainment a success, but sufficient talent was plainly lacking.
 The male .quartette was good. Alex Deming and J. Roach, in their vocal selections, were very good, and the imita- tion of the Irish comedian was fair The original hit, however, was made by one of the local celebrities, who guyed those behind the scene who should have SUD- ported him in his burlesque of ''The Side walks of New York;

Did He Do RightP

To the Age-Hertlld:
 The mystery attending the marriage or Sam Houston has long been the theme or novelists and the puzzle of historians. He was welded to a beautiful Tennessee girl while governor of that state, and left her suddenly. resigned the governor ship and went to live among the Indians. A recent lecturer explained the mystery by saying that Governor Houston found his bride crying over the picture Of her former lover, and when asked to ex, plain, confessed that she still loved him. Governor Houston had a nlgh sense of honor, and he refused to clam as wife one whose directions hao peei given to another. She confessed that she only married Houston because her pa rents insisted on it. Now, did Houston act right in leaving her? Is man ever Justified in leaving his wife? Shoulo wife always cleave to her huspanu, no matter what crime he may commit!

'.It is hard to grasp an abstract truth" remarked. Professor c. q have learned in teaching how hard it is for children to comprehend the abstract-they must have some symbol. sign or illustration. The money discussion now going on shows how difficult it is for the people to comprehend the truth involved. The fallaeles of the free silver men still has adherents. The money now in use is sound and stable, and the believers in free silver think it will always be so; but an era of appreciated currency would change their views. I have applied to this difficulty in grasping the abstract to the negro. Here is the negro in our midst living. desby side with the white race which has made the laws of the country In framing these laws our legislators had in mind the whites. The code was framed for the comprehension of the whites and not the negroes. This explains much of the crime among the negroes-they can't comprehend our system of jurispru- dence.o .o.los .,hf

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
The convicts.

The ConV1ctS.
 To the Age-Herald:
 The mortality among the eonvicts at Coalburg is greater than that at Ander- sonville prison. The defect seems to be in the proper application of the laws. The state of Alabama has more humane laws regulating the government of it's conyicts than any other state. The convicts have a chaplain, medical attendance and board of inspectors to watch over their interests. They are given a certain task, and all the coal they mine over this task is credited to their individual account. Some of the convicts thus save a nice sum, and when they are discharged they can support themselves until they can find work. Just here I will add that 1t has been said in my hearing that the convicts do not receive all that Is com ing to them when they are discharged. The inspectors should look after this
