Education,

Education Is not a stuting or cram

Is a mistake to fancy that n large edu-

Why should not all persons want a

put when madness is once in the saddle. With spur on the heel the horse will ride to destruction. It is said that when Ti- JUS, the Roman general, had girdled Je- rusalem with his lines of circumva leila ton he had only to sit down and wait TOT In the dissensions of the Jews within the walls of Jerusalem he had an ally much more powerful than the besieging Roman legions. Famine, internal dis cora and assassination so wrought de- straction among the Jews that at the proper moment the enemy, united at ev cry point, only had to walk over walls that offered no longer any resistance. confronting the democratic party today Tn Alabama there are combined all of the clements of opposition. Their aim is the conquest of the offices, the distribution of the spells. The dissensions among dem- ocrats offer them an easy victory Whether Johnston be nominated or whether Clarke be nominated, divided as the democracy is can either succeed? It Is of paramount importance to the we'll being of society the administrat ton of the law, the prosperity of the state and the good of all the people that in the election shortly to be held the democratic ticket should be elected. This can only be accomplished by uniting the best ele- ments, not only of the democracy, but of all the citizenship of the state. Such a union can only be effected by presenting to the people ticket that cannot be criticised, names without stain and that stand for ability, responsibility, f. delity and honesty. It is not possible for the leaders of democracy in Alabama to settle all differences in the presence of the common foe to democracy and to the we'll being of the state.

were added to our volume of money. As all refiecting men are agreed that the present distress is due to scarcity of money, we must leave it to the imagira- tion as to what would now be our condi- tion if the gold gold standard mer1had had their way and our present irfsuffic- tent volume of money was $5O0, 900 less The sherman bill was adding over $50- 000,0 900 a year to the money of the coun- try, when in 1893 it's repeal was impe- riously demanded by European financiers through their American allies, and ai- though the peoples representatives made one of the grandest efforts ever witness ed in behalf of the producers and toilers of our country, yet the power of the financial institutions of Europe was so great that our people were compelled to submit to temporary defeat.
 Now the question is, what do the tens of millions of victims in this country to the diabolical gold standard policy of Lombard and Wall streets propose doing about 1t? Submit to subjugation or de-. mand in no uncertain tones the imme- diate restoration of silver as standard money? No, they will no longer submit to such injustice! And, therefore, we earnestly recommend the adoption of the following resolution: ....{.t We demand of the present congress the immediate return to the money of the constitution as established by our fathers by restoring the free and unlimited coin age of both gold and silver at the present ratio oe 16 to l. the coins of both metals to be equally full legal tender for all debts, public and private, as before the fraudulent demonetizatfon of silver in 1873. We also condemn the increase of the national debt in time of peace, and the use of interest-bearing bonds at any time.'

ORGANIZED LABOR'S VIEW An Address Issued to the Orders
 in 1895. BY ITS REPRESENTATIVES, The Laboring Men of the County Are the Sut- ferers From the Adoption of the Single
 Gold Standard.

Following Is an address issued by the representatives of 3,0O0,O00 laboring peo- ple. In view of the fact that single gold standard advocates and candidates are Sust now attempting to make the labor Ing man believe that the free coinage of silver would be to their disadvantage We publish this address and the laboring men in these parts can see what their Headers, who have studied this question, kay about it. This address was issued East year:
 to the Members of Organized Labor and
 All Other Producers and Toilers
 Throughout the United States:
 In view of the general distress now pre- Railing throughout our country, which has existed for so many years. and which Twill contiue until remedial Legislation is enacted and all this occurring, too, at A time when our granarieS are full to re- pletion, and when, in the natural order of things, our producers and toilers should be enjoying to the full the fruit of their hard and conscientious labors, it seems to us that the time has come for united action on the part of those who create the wealth of the country.
 The respective demands and platforms of principles of our several organizations set forth our opinions as to the causes that have brought about this condition of things. Inasmuch as the leading rep resentatives and friends of all our organ izations have placed one of the causes of the tribulations of our beloved repub- lie to the departure of the government from the wise bimetallic policy of Wash ington, Jefferson and Hamilton, and the substitution therefor of the present mon- metallic policy, recommended by Euro pean money owners and advocated by their American allies, we the undersign- ed officers of industrial, agricultural and commercial organizations, have thought 1t best, at this particular time, to sub init for your careful consideration sy- nopsis of the legislation respecting the prescious metals enacted in this country since the foundation of this government, that you may judge for yourselves as to what portion of such legislation was en- acted in the interest of the producing and what in the interest of the non-produc- ing classes and as to whether or not the shrewd manipulators of our finances foresaw that the result of their work would be to largely help in the subjuga- tion of the people.
 Whatever the object, certain 1t is that before the demonstration of silver and the enactment of other financial legisla- tion. which our organizations condemn, $500 bushels of wheat or 35, 900 pounds of cotton was the annual pay of our con- gressmen and senators, while today 1O,- GOO bushels of wheat or 100. 900 pounds of cotton barely suffice; before demonetiza- tfon 35000 bushels of wheat or 3500O0 bounds of cotton per year would have paid the salary of the president; today he receives the equivalent of 100000 bushels of wheat or 100000 pounds of cotton; and in like proportion Is it with all other fixed salaries and incomes
 Was such legislation just? Was it hon.
