circumstances. As to wages and the con- dition of laboring men, considering the nature of work and classes of industry. they compare favorably with those in other countries.
 The demand for skilled labor has grown with the great increase in the number of mills and manufactories. This demand in all branches of labor is strong. The added exchange has not impaired the value of our dollar as applied to the pur- chase of articles of home manufacture. It's buying power is unchanged in this respect and prices for domestic merchant, disc and produce vary only according to the supply and the demand. .
 Heavy investments of foreign capital in Mexican enterprises have been made since the appreciation of gold elsewhere.
 There is another point of view. The for eign debt of the country is payable in gold. The duties on imported merchan- disc are collected in silver. or on that basis. The high rates of exchange, to- gether with the decrease in our customs collections before alluded to, have caused considerable shrinkage in this source of revenue.
Birmingham state herald., 1896-09-13

woolen mills already in operation were obliged to enlarge their capacity and new ones were established. The number or operatives necessarily had to be great ly increased.
 To show the falling off in the consump- tion of foreign merchandise it may be said that the year prior to the increase of foreign exchange on silver our cus- toms collections at the ports of entry amounted to $22,O00,000. The next year they were $14,000000 In the fiscal year ending in 1890 our importations exceeded $52,0O0,000. In the fiscal year ending in 1895 they were slightly in excess of $34,- 000,000. On the other hand, our exporta- tions increased. In 1S90-91 they amounted to $63,000,000, and In 1894-95 to $90, 000, 900. There was nothing in the nature of a commercial panic consequent upon the sharp advance in silver exchange.

mo grounds on which to justify it for abusing and villifying Senator John T. Morgan. the grandest living democrat, but things are different now; the Adver- tiser is no longer democratic paper, nor is it pretending to be democratic jour nal. It has taken it's final departure from the party that loves to honor Morgan, and now we concede to it the right to destroy the grand old democrat if it can. for that is it's business. It is now in po- sition to fire into democrats with impu- nifty, and should do so. It is pledged to aid the republicans in their effort to cap- ture the federal government, and any newspaper thus engaged will find it nec- essary to take issue with John T. Nor gan and if possible destroy his influence. Papers and speakers in the interest of republlcanism have always been accord ed the right to fight Senator Morgan. For the unholy war made on Senator Morgan by the Advertiser during the past several years there is absolutely no ex- cuse or justification, for the simple req son that the senator is a democrat and the Advertiser was posing as demo- cratic newspaper, but now it is all right. The republican ass that has paraded during the past four years thinly covered with the skin of tIte democratic lion has come forth in it's true colors, and the State Herald now comedies to it the right to bray al democrats like John T. Mor- gan to it's hearts content. and holds that 1t should not be moested.

REPUBLICAN ALLIES.

The boltocrats of Ohio placed Hon. French II. Thornhill, an ardent sound money" man on their electoral ticket and notified him of the alleged honor. He promptly replied, declining the nomina- ton of what he justly characterizes as boltef's convention, and assigned reasons for his action which we specially com mend to those persons in the south who have deserted the democratic party and are now endeavoring to promote the cleo tlon of Mckinley:
 'The Indianapolis ticket" says Colonel Thornhill '.is not a democratic ticket; it does embody principle to which 1 ad- here (sound money). It was not made up by and for the people, but by class many removes from those who at the prl- maries elect representatives to national conventions. Moreover, 1 sincerely be- lieve that the participants in the Indian apolis convention expect and desire that their action will promote and secure the election of William Mckinley. Bryan or Mckinley will be the next president. We must choose between them. McKin- ley Is bound hand and foot by the cor porations and syndicates represented by Mark Hanna He would, if elected, favor a return to class legislation and lay the iron hand of the force bill upon the south, thereby forestalling the election of any
 
 that would enact laws to perpetuate the republican party in power
 "I shall support Bryan and Sewall.'
 Here we have "sound money" man from north of the Ohio, a citizen of Me Kinley's own state, infinitely more inter- ested in the welfare of the southern peo- pie than are those native born southern CTS who have deserted the democratic party and practically joined the repub- lican party in its war upon the people. Doubtless he knows Mckinley and under stands his subserviency to his masters. for he charges, what the world knows to be true, that Mckinley Is bound hand and foot to the corporations and syndi- cates represented by Mark Hanna," and adds, Eff elected he would favor return to class legislation and lay the iron hand of the force bill upon the south. thereby forestalling the election of any but re- publican presidents and congresses that would enact laws to perpetuate the re- publican party in power.'
 The men who have bolted the demo- era tic party in Alabama are, at least. pos sessed of average intelligence, and may be fairly charged with anticipating the consequences of their action. If this be true they should know that Colonel Thornhill has stated the exact purpose of this bolter's movement, for, attempt to disguise it as they may, they know that the election of Mckinley is the sole end for which they are working. They deceive no one, and it is not surprising that they are receiving the universal condemnation of all democrats as worse enemies of the people and the democra tic party than the republican party itself.

FROM P0RFlRIO DIAZ.
City of Mexico, Sept. g, 1896


 To w. R. Hearst, New York Journal:
 do not care to discuss the effect of the silver coinage on the material inter- ests of Mexico with view to influencing the result of the coming national election in the United States. Such course on my part would be wholly improper, consider ing the friendly and peaceful relations existing between the United States and Mexico. The present political issue in the former country is the question of the money standard, and do not wish to be regarded as in anywise attempting to affect the outcome.
 I can give the facts relative to existing industries and the establishment of new ones in Mexico under our financial sys- tenn, and each may draw his own conclu- sionS as to the causes which have pro- duced such awakening in commercial and industrial affairs. Ocular demonstrations of the vast development may be found by visiting the cotton and wooden mills in our various cities Some are old; others recently opened. Our paper mills and their output also furnish evidence of our lively recent period all the pulp used in the manufacture of paper in this country was imported. and the paper only was made in Mexico; now the pulp and every thing that enters into the composition of the paper is made here.

 Growth of Mexico's Commercial Interests.
 While our material interests have in- creased steadily and healthfully for the last twenty years, since the close of the Indian hints and the repeal of the Sher- man law, so-called. in the United States, the growth of Mexico's commercial and industrial interests has been particularly marked. The consequent appreciation in the price of gold and the increase in ex- change between Mexico and the gold standard countries at once operated to reduce importations and stimulate home manufactures.
 The added price of exchange was in effect an addition to the tariff The inn porter added to the original cost the duty ! and cost of exchange. Our cotton and

PROPOSED CONFERENCE.

The campaign committee has called a conference of the leading democrats of the state, including the party officials, to meet here on the 17th instant. It is un- derstood that this conference is for the purpose of assisting the committee in perfecting plans for the conduct of the campaign. We deem this a very pru- dent step, for in multitude of counsel there is wisdom, of course.
 It is not supposed that all of the sug- gestions that may be made b the confer- ence will be acted upon or be made part of the plan of the campaign, but the com mittee hopes by this consultation to ma- ture plan that will secure uniformity of action in the party throughout the state and most certainly insure success The oldest democrats will probably find some difficulty in making suggestions that will solve the problems confronting the committee or enable them to sur mount without much labor many of the obstacles they find in their path. But considering the righteousness of our cause and the earnestness of the workers there need be no apprehension but that wha tever plan is agreed upon will be sue cessful
 There are many active workers in the democratic party of Alabama whose long service and great abilities make them equal to any emergency, and we are sure that by the time this conference ad- journs the plan of the work will be so thoroughly perfected and simplified that the committee will have a comparat atively easy task to carry it out.

JOHN J. INGALLS, ON GOLD.

"No people, in a great emergency, ever found faithful ally in gold. It is the most cowardly and treacherous of all metals. It makes no treaty that it does not break, it has no friend 1t does not betray. Armies and na- Nies are not maintained by gold. In times of panic and calamity, ship wreck and disaster, 1t becomes the agency and minister of ruin. No na- tion ever fought great war by the aid of gold. On the contrary. in the crisis of the great peril 1t becomes an enemy more potent than the foe in the field, but when the battle has been won and peace secured, gold reappears and claims the fruits of victory"

LINCOLN'S PROPHESY.

I see in the near future crisis ap- preaching that unnerVes me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong it's reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever be- fore, even in the midst of war. God grant my suspicious may prove groundless.

The announcement that Senator Nor gan will come to Alabama at an early date and make speeches for the demo- cratic nominees brings the Montgomery Mckinley organ to it's feet.

POWDERLY SIZED UP

Terrence V. Powderly, ex-master work man of the Knights of Labor, found 1t no easy matter to deliver goldbug- -McKin- ley address to a meeting of laboring men at Cooper Union. New York, Thursday evening. Most of his audience remember ed that he had written a letter only few days ago to James W. Hayes the organ izer of the Knights of Labor which read in part as follows:
 Fancy the independence of Ford which transfers the subserviency of the Irish in politics from the democratic par ty to damn sight worse party. These are prayers for the republican party the party that gave us a perpetuation of the national hanks, of the bond system, of the rule of the shylock and-and-and --and--I pause for breath. Damn the republican party, you say Amen! As ever yours, Terry"
 With this letter fresh in their memory, his hearers were not slow in coming to the conclusion that Powderly had sold out to the classes that he had so vehe- mently denounced, and did not hesitate to characterize him as a turn coat" and traitor 10 organized labor. The sentiment of his audience, although 1t was supposed to be 'iMcKinley league" and composed principally Of republicans. was largely in favor of MT Bryan and democracy.

From the reading of the Montgomery Advertiser we see that the Louisville and Nashville railroad has appointed Col J. M. Falkner chairman of the Hannacrat campaign committee.

racy. The common masses of the honest people must furnish the means with which to meet and neutralize the corrup- tion fund supplied Mark Hanna by the combines and monopolies. Every citizen who believes that this nation should be governed by and for the people, and not by and for trusts and syndicates, should contribute freely, literally and at once to the campaign fund of the democratic party. However small the sum may be, it will be of service and be used for the benefit of the people.
Birmingham state herald., 1896-09-13

The only hope that remains to Labor Union Crusher Hanna to elect his mort gagged man Mckinley is to intimidate, bulldoze and coerce the workingmen of the country into voting the republican ticket. Never has there been such outra- geous disregard for and trampling upon the rights of labor to force them to sup port any party as has been boldly and de- fiantly displayed in this campaign by this man Hanna in behalf of Mckinley. He is known and properly designated among wage earners as the Labor Butcher, be- cause of his constant war upon organized labor and his heartless, cruel oppression of laboring people who have the misfor- tune of being in his employ. The sins of Whitelaw Reed against labor, which had much to do with Harrison's defeat in 1892 were gentle charities and tender mercies as compared with those of Mark Hanna, the manager of McKinley's cam paign,
