all that is necessary to keep
the two on a parity and in
concurrent circulation, why
did the silver bullion decrease
in price after the fixing of the
ratio of Is to l, and when
gold was overvalued in 1884
by changing the ratio to 16
to 1, why did not the free
coinage of gold so raise the
price of that metal as to
make one pound of gold
equal to 16 of silver? Again,
if the United States could
not sustain the parity of the
two metals when all of Eu-
rope was endeavoring to do
likewise, and when the legal
and commercial ratio were
equal, what reason is there in
the belief that this country
can with Europe against it,
and with a difference of 30
cents on the dollar keep both
metals in circulation when
both are coined unlimitedly?
The very idea is preposterous,
and yet the IS to | advocates
claim to be bimetalists. The
experience of this country
clearly shows that in no 9TH
er way than for the bullion
value of the two metals to be
kept exactly equal can con-
current bimetalism be main
tanned.

brink of bankruptcy before
the beginning of the present
administration. To the
thoughtful mind, there will
be no difficulty in terreting
out thepolitical party respon-
sible for the unjust laws that
produced the panic through
which we have so recently
passed, but as the evil results
of those laws passed by the
republican party eliminated
under democratic rule, the
allegations of the enemy
charging the same to the
present administration will be
accepted by the surface of
observers. Hence it matters
not what has or may be ac-
complished by the present
administration, an attempt
will be made to hold the
democratic party responsible
for adverse republican legis-
latiOn.

SILVER AND COTTON.

1t is frequently stated that the
prices of all farm products common
ced to decline from the year 1878,
caused by the act of that year de-
mOnitizing silver. Such can hard
ly be the case with cotton. Cotton
sold in New York in 1866 at SO
cents per pound, and the decline
was gradual and constant up to
1871, when the highest price in
New York was 81 IA cents pound, a
decline in six years of nearly $50
per cent. In 1872 it went up to
81 SO cents per pound, caused, no
doubt, by the short crop of 1871,
which was 1,372,655 bales less than
the crop of 1869, and the price de-
clined again in 1878 to 81 3-8 cents
"a fraction over the price of 1870,
caused by the large crop of 1872,
which was l.196, OBJ bales over the
crop of 1871.
From 1874 to 1879, period of
six years, and after the act of 1873,
the decline in price was about 10
per cent, against decline of near
ly $50 per cent, from 1866 to 1871,
a period of six years before the act
of 1873.
1t seems to me, from these facts,
that the act of 1873 had nothing to
do with the decline in the price of
cotton, and the same is no doubt
true of all other farm products.

HERE never was a more
erroneous appellation when
applied to the 16 to l oners
than bimetalists-a term
which they use in charac-
terizing themselves. In or
der to be a bimetalist,it is nee
essay to favor q law or mea-
sure that would produce and
maintain bimetalism or the
concurrent circulation of two
metals. Unless history will
not repeat itself and the
cheaper metal will not ex-
clude the dearer, there can be
no hope of the United States
maintaining bimetalism when
both gold and silver are coin
ed mlimitedly at the ratio Of
Is to /, when the commercial
ratio is 30 to /. The BULLE=
TIN would not make such a
positive assertion had not the
United States, under a free
coinage law, attempted to
keep both metals in circula-
ton. In 1892, it would not
have been considered illOgi-
cal or unreasonable for one
who had studied the financial
question to differ as to wheth-
er or not this country could
keep both metals on a parity
when each is coined free, be-
cause at that time no such
undertaking, so far as this
country is concerned, had
been attempted. But in that
distant era, history does not
reveal the name ofeven one so
wanting in craftsmanship asto
either suggest or assert that
the two metals could be kept
in circulation when there was
a variance between the legal
and commercial ratio. In
the year mentioned, the IA
ito of Is to | was established
because at that time Is
pounds of silver was only
worth as much as one pound
of gold. But few years af-
ter fixing that ratio, while
both metals were being COIN
ed free, silver decreased in
value until it took Is IL
pounds of silver to equal one
pound of gold. After silver
had fallen to that point, was
bimetalism maintained any
longer? Not at all. 1t is
an undeniable fact that after
the fall of silver to that ex-
tent when ID pounds of silver
was no longer equal to one of
gold, the dearer metal rece-
ded from circulation. Att
that time all of Europe was
endeavoring to keep the two
on a parity, still the
United States was unable to
raise the price of silver bull
ion 3 or 4 cents on Is
pounds. In 1884, the year
n which he ratio was chang
ID to IS to l, England was
Re only one of the European
nations that had demonitized
liver. When the ratio of
g to 1 was established, gold |
vas purposely Overvalued
nd the result was gold came {
,ack into the United States {
nd silver left. Now, if the !

A NEGRO IN A MOD's HANDS.
They Swing Him to Tree and Rid
die Him with bullets.


Mobile. Ala. July 1s.-Andrew Thomas,
colored, who ravished and brutaily beat
an aged white woman named Mrs. Vise
near Moss Point. Miss. and who was
captured here some ten days ago and hcld
for requisltlon from the governor Of
Mississippi. was taken 10 Scranton, Miss,
by Sheriff Miner on an early freight train,
which reached Scranton at 4O5 O'clock
tkis morning There was a mob Of go
men at the tDain heavily armed TO re.
cevie the prisoner. When the sheriff no
ticed the special train from Moss Point
standing on the upper end Of the siding
he called TO his deputy that the jig was
up. The lights were extinguished in the
caboose and the prisoner was concealed
In a box under the seats. The crowd
literally swarmed around the train and
jeered at the sheriff. a Tall Mississipp.ln
discovered. the negro in his hiding place
and cried out, "Come on. boys here he
is" and with this the crowd with a rush
swarmed into the coach. Half dragging
and half pushing, the mob ran with their
victim up and across the track TO a large
and stately water oak tree that stands
just across the track from the station
There were no preliminaries. A rope was
in readiness and the negro was swung In
mid air. Then commenced a fuStlaQe thdt
lasted fully fifteen minutes and the body
was literally made a pepper box with
bullets.
Sheriff Minor and Deputy Moore took
all the precautions possible for them to
take after they left Mobile TO protect the
man from the mob. They had been lulled
into feeling Of security and did not
think that they would 0e met at the depot
by an armed body Of men, but when
they learned that the mob was gatheied
there awaiting them they tried 10 get
the negro across the river on the train
but the mob cut the train In two as It
pulled out OF the station and thus cut
off their last hope of getting the negro
safely in jail. Thamos' mother refused
to take the body OF her son and IL was
buried in the potter's field. When the
rope was put around 4nomas' neck he
declared his innocence. His victim 3
convaescing, but she is In a pitiable con-
dition, having contracted from the brute
m unmentionable' disease. Three negroes
were lynched in 1874 from the same limb OF
the tree from which Thomas was hanged
Thomas was characterized by a gen.
tleman who had known him and en-.
ployed him at odd times as a liar a thief
and a scoundrel. The coroner's jury held
an inquest and ezcnefated the sheriff and
his deputy from any blame in the matter.

a NEW PARTY NOT FAVORED.
a Committee Named Rt Memphis
Meets at Chicago.

Chicago, July 1S.-The executive commit
tee appointed at the Memphis free silver
convention held meeting here to-day.
The sentiment expressed seems to be that
it would not be policy to form new po-
Htcal party at this time. The leaders
seem TO favor a campaign OF education.
of organization, OF capitalization AMI
waiting on the attitude OF tie oh parties.
Party ties are too strong in many
states. said Congressman Acl1len Of Ten
nessee, Ito warrant any attempt at form-
ing a new party at present. The people
are with us, but we must wait until
shefr respective parties refuse to recog-
nize the coinage cf silver before We ask
them to break loose from lresent ties
and cast their lot with a new party.
This sentiment was regarded as the key
note of the situation.
The meeting this forenoon ana evening
was informal and the formal conference
will begin with to-morrow's session.
Those present to-day We're: John w.
Tomlinson of Alabama, Charles Coffin of
Arkansas, Joshua Sheldon Of Connecticut,
Arson WOlcott of Indiana, Henry w. Mil
Ter of Illinois, H. l.. Taylor Of Kansas,
George Prentiss Of Mississippi, George $.
Bowen of New York, Louis Walker of
Pennsylvania, r. h. Pettigrew Of South
Dakota, John r. Goodwin Of Tennessee.
Joseph Rattell of Vermont and j. g.
Ralphsnyder of West Virginia. A fuller
delegation is expected tomorrow.
John r. Goodwin presided and in open
ing the meeting read paper tracing the
organization Of the free silver movement,
and declaring that its necessity was found
ed on the repeal of the free coinage act.
He asserted that gold men with unlimited
money secured that repeal and that they
dominated both Of the present great polit-
ical parties.
Each Of the members present briefly
summed up the situation In their respect
i've states and all maintained that the
sentiment was in favor Of free silver
