----------------- EEK XHIRIT AT ATLANTA.

No community in the South needs to make known to the world what it actually has more than the county of Jefferson, and the committee of the Commercial Club of Birmingham who have given their time and labor to this end deserve the thanks of this whole section for their patriotic efforts z in this behalf. Will the citizens of Jeffsr son county support these gentlemen, or shall it be said that we are unmindful of the disinterosted public spirit which has actuated them? An enthusiastic meeting of the business men of Birmingham was held at the rooms of the Commerciai Club last night, and good start has been made to have Alabama represented at Atlanta, and it behooves this community, if on no higher ground than purely selfish interest, to further and foster this suspicious begin ming. The county of Jefft rson was pledged for $1000; discussion demonstrated that this sum was wholly inadequate, and hence over S1700 was subscribed last night. No less than S5000 will suffice, and it remains for this community to say whether this great opportunity shall be permitted to pass. The AGE HERALD very gladly adds it's mite of S1OO to the fund, and trusts there will be no laggards now that the interest of the whole section is aroused.

worth some 50 cents and circulating on it's own merits alone, will somehow get to be worth as much as the present dollar, which, although it be made of silver or paper, is good for 100 cents h gold at the treasury of the United States. If tbe free coinage preachers believe this, why do they look so jealously on the Mexican money, which costs the employer so little and, being paid out as wages buys so little for the employe? If the "unlimited' silver dol lar is not a cheap device for paying labor, why does the manufacturer hie himself to the land where ignorant labor takes it's pay in that coin?
 For our part we are unaiterably opposed to the MexicaniZation of American indus. try. We do not believe the average of wages in this country can well be reduced; we do not want it to be reduced. Birming- ham, with the other industrial commuui- ties in this country, has peculiar interest In sound currency. We do not believe the free-coinage of-siiver agtators will be able to persuade our wage-earners to vote good money out of their own pockets.

true citizen desires to Mexicanize our country Do workingmen desire to receive depreeiated currency for their labor and then pay double prices for the necessaries of life7 Does any patriotic citizen w.s1 to live in country as lightly esteemed in it's commercial aspects as Mexico? These free silver papers have oyer-shot the mark in holding up Mexico as an example. If they desire us to adopt the monetary system of Mexico, then they-must be in favor of single silver standard. The fact is, when you scratch the moss off the back of free siIyerites you find that they are not=b metalIists, but single standard men. and that standard a silver standard. Will they please inform us what advantage the silver standard possesses over The gold standard? We caa 't imagine a solitary advantage, yet several disadvantages suggest themsetVes. Silver will not do as a standard because of it's great fluctuations. It is up today and down tomorrow. More than that, it is subj ctto political in fluences. The agita- ton of free silver by the si1verites has de- pressed it's pricea We want no standard that set of men who may not know what they are doing can depress at will.

BILL STEVENS TALKS.

SAYS THE NEGRO IN 1896 WILL THROW OFF
 THE YOKE OF OPPRESSION. 1T
 Aneut the election contest between T. H. Aldrich and 0. w. Underwood, and the effort of the eontestee to prove that large number of the negroes either voted for MT. Underwood or did not vote at all, the fol- lowing interview with w. J. Stevens, the weli-known colored politician of Annis- ton, may be interesting:
 HAlabama has about 800, ,000 voters, of whom 140, ,000 are negroes whose eyes, am proud to say, are gradually being opened to the situation, and will largely predominate and control the sentiment of the next dele- gation from this state. There is scarcely a doubt among careful and thoughtful, poli- ticians that the overwhelming desire to shed the negro, as the snake does it's skin in the spring, has seized our party mana gers everywhere in this country. As time rolls on the more and more we realize this fact. We are preparing and fitting our selves for the climax. Everything now points to the republican party and it's suc- cess in 1896; but it may be the year that th @ negro as mass will take his departure from that party; the day of free ballot and a fair count is now upon us, which gives more significance to the negro's bal lot than it has had for twenty years, and he is better qualified in every way to use that ballot with intelligence, care and patriot ism than eyer before.
 s.That the white men of the south will more largely vote the eanti-democratic ticket in 1896 than heretofore is a conclusive fact, !, and the very reasons that actuate and cause them to move politically may impel the black man to do likewise in an opposite direction. We are instinctively republicans and love the name republican next to our wives and children. But we are rapidly being taught that "a rose under any other uatne will smell as sweet Hence, say we are preparing for the climax or any emer- gency that may arise.'
 MT. Aldrich will begin taking depositionB tomorrow in rebuttal for use in his contest before Onprees.
