 If the presidents hands had been tied in 1894 as it is proposed to tie them now, the gold reserve would have been ex- hausted early in the year, and he would have been unable to replenish it. Then specie payments would have been sus- pended. There would have been panic to which the one in 1893 was bagatelle. Chicago Tribune, Rep.
 It is not surprising to find that Ex-Sen- ator Edmunds is not wholly in sympathy a present with the policy and tendencies of his party. He has always been a strong party man, but he has too much of the quality of statesmanship to be friendly with demagogues or to stand well with bosses. To see him throwing up hss hat with the crowd Is what would have given cause for urprise.-Providence Journal, Ind.
 It would have been well if the court had said explicitly that it was none of Bowlers business to hold up the treasury, and make an example of him before the country; 1t probably regarded him as too small game. As matter of fact, he de- serves public rebuke for his impertinence. The law was good until decided otherwise. No evil consequences would have befallen him if it had been declared void. It was his duty to pay out the moneys under the law, and no excuse will relieve him of the responsibility for his refusal.-New York Advertiser.

In 1879 the assessed value of all our property aggregated $123,7 ,072; in 1895 it had grown to $241 ,33S, ,025, a gain in six teen years of about SIS ,0OO, GOO, or nearly double. During this time the tax rate
 has been reduced from 75 cents on the $1OO to 55, and our appropriations for pub lie schools have been largely increased.
 From two or three small furnace plants our state has arisen to the third rank in the union as an iron producer. It has greatly increased the number of our fac tories and machine shops. It has built
 many hundred miles of railroad, in- creased the output of coal from few thousand tons annually to more than 5,O0O,00O tons, and we are now giving light and warmth and power to the peo- pie of many states Cities now stand where barren fields marred the land scape, and church spires tell the trav- eler that the people who have done, these things recognize the watchful providence who has held his hand over them. That such progress could have been made un- der the government that was overthrown
 by George s. Houston and the great body of the white men of Ala bama no fair man will claim. That this state can continue this. great material develop ment with the administration of its af- fairs in the hands of the two parties that this year have amalgamated and fused is hardly conceivable. The greatest threat to progress, the most imminent danger to the betterment of our public schools, to the building of better roads,
 to clean and economical government, is the insdious attempt to divide the people whose united efforts have accomplished these things in the past and made it pos sible to accomplish yet greater results in the future.-Joseph r. Johnston.

ALABAMA IRON,

From recent editorial published in the Iron and Coal Trades Review of London the Manufacturers Record quotes the following:
 "The paper read by MT. Jeremiah Head on the iron industry of Alabama with special reference to the prospects of the importation of Alabama pig into European markets, deals with subject that is likely to occupy increased at tention in the future, if recent reports are true. MT. Heads paper shows, by a large number of important facts and figures, the singularly unique combna- tion of resources possessed by Alabama Tor the production of cheap iron, and he also proves conclusively that pig is be- ing made at Birmingham, Ala. for a good deal less than it could be produced at in this country. On the other hand the iron works are between 250 and 300 miles from the seaboard, and the future of Alabama pig iron in European mar kets must necessarily depend upon the range of railway and ocean freghts. If these continue to fall as they have done in the past, and if the cost of producing British pig iron continues to tend up- ward rather than downward the com petition of Alabama at Glasgow, Liver pool and even at Middlesborough, may become a much sterner reality than 1t has seemed to be up to the present time, although this Is not apprehended."
 Commenting on the above the Florida Times-Union says:
 "There is little reason to think that Alabama pig iron will invade England to any great extent but it will, sooner or later, make great .intoads into mar kets hitherto controlled by England This is especially true of the South American market. and if the Nicaragua canal is cut it will be true of the mar kets of China and Japan.

There is an old legend which declares that once God called the angels together and told them he intended to send num- Der of them to the world to enter the souls of men and inspire them to nobler and greater achievements, and the angels work they were to do! One prayed to en- ter the soul of a great poet and kindle in his heart sweeter songs; another desired to enter the soul of @ great king to in- spire him to worthier deeds, and others made their choice. Finally one of them said: My Father, let me enter the soul of the common man; one who has neither rank, nor wealth, nor fame, nor station, for there lies a noble work in inspiring contentment and peace, and holding him true to himself his country and his God." And the Father said: My child, thou hast the noblest task qr all, and thy crown shall shine more resplendent in heaven than those of any of thy brethren"
 This is the gospel of democracy. It has refused to bend to wealth or power or station or inheritance. It denies special privileges or fayors to any class, opens the pathways of life with its struggles and burdens and rewards to all alike and stretches out it's hand to protect the common people from the greed of wealth and the rapacty of power.-Joseph F, Johnston.

that by present routes of commerce it is not from 250 to 300 miles from the sea- board but between 750 and 1000 miles sdistant. Of course much of 1t is shipped through gulf ports, but even a large part of that goes to New York for reshipment. Alabama Iron will never find sale in foreign markets in large quantities until 1t reaches tide water at New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola, Jacksonville or Sa- vannah, and goes from these ports direct to the foreign markets. And in addition to this an import trade must come to these ports in return, which gives the ships which are to carry the iron away freight to handle on the voyage to this country. Otherwise the outbound freight would have to pay the cost of trip both ways and profit both ways.
 "When this condition prevails Ala bama iron will drive all others out of the markets of the West Indies and South America, and these markets, with the home market will give the industry in Alabama a volume and prosperity which will make the state the greatest indus trial center in the union."
 The Times-Union should examine it's geography more carefully when it will find that the distance from the iron fields of Alabama to tide water at Pensacola is only about 300 miles, and project is now on foot and a government survey made for the cutting of a canal from the Warrior river, distance of about twen- ty miles, which will lessen the cost of transportation to the coast more than one-half.
 According to the report of the govern ment surveyors the canal can be built at a small cost, as the route selected has natural advantages that are superior to any survey of like character that has been made for years.
 Alabama is already making large ship ments of iron to each of the foreign points named by the Times-Union, and the trade has more than doubled during the past year.
