The Silver Coinage.

Democrats have nothing else to do than to
support the Democratic platform. free coinage
and all.
Every man who is in the minority, should
yield to the mandates of the majority, after
his party has spoken.
Personally, this newspaper believes that
the free coinage of silver at the ratio OF Six
teen to one will be ruinous to the great mass
of the people, but on the ground that the peo-
pie ought to get what they want, this news
paper will 60 with them.
Let the free coinage come. This editor will
probably light on his feet, and If he does not
make az much out OF the disorganization OF
the money values as any one else he deserves
to 60 down.
Let the silver dollars come IN great profus-
ion. If we do not get our share OF them. and
If we do not profit by the confusion, 1t will be
because we are unable to take in the situation
and cannot adapt ourselves to the new order
Of things.
Let the silver come so thick and fast that a
wheebarrow will be needed. We are ready
for the fray. If this editor doesn't take care
OF himself it will be the first time that he
has been unequal to the task.
Roll on, Silver Dollars, and let US all gel
rich.

Against the SeabOartl.

II seems to us that all the railroads, twenty
two in number, have combined against the
Seaboard Air Line railway, which Is singly
and alone, fighting its own battles.
AS we understand, the trouble began in this
way:
The Southern proposed to gobble up the Bay
Line OF steamers which run between Norfolk
and Washington. which line was equally
friendly with the Seaboard and Southern.
Failing in that the Southern put on its own
boats, with the intention OF forcing the Bay
Line out OF the traffic business. The business
on the Bay Line was small and the steamer
company offered to work for the Southern on
the same terms as it worked for others.
This did not suit the Southern because II
gave an outlet for business TO the Seaboard-
the object being to crowd the Seaboard out Of
business.
TO meet the putting OF steamers on the Bay
the Seaboard cut its freight rate thirty-lhree
per cent.
The allied railroads, embracing thousands
of miles Of track in all the Southern 9'"'es'
met in Atlanta last week, and resoIFeo W e"'
their rates eighty per cent. .
The Southern assumed 10 lake .e'ii'o's
from the Seaboard. The Seaooard kicheu, anu
now ali the allied railroads conspire to ruin
the Seaboard, or 10 cripple II, SO IhaI lneS
may buy it, and put it out OF the way as
competing line.
If the Seaboard is wise it will maintain its
cut of thirty-three per cent, and ignore the
cut by It's enemis OF eighty per cent.
Let the Seaboard reduce its trains 10 the
lowest number, and let that corporation 9TH
erwise reduce its expenses.
If it acts wisely and lets its allied enemies
pursue the threatened course Of carrying
freight for about the cost OF axle grease, it
will cut expenses, fold It's arms, and wait for
the storm to pass, while It's great and mighty
enemies try to wipe up the earth with 1t.
The Seaboard should cut expenses, stop
trains, and let Its enemies carry the freight
for awhile.
President St. John should guard his en-
penses, and not do what his enemies expect
him to do-meet the eighty per cent. cut He
should let his enemies have monopoly Of
that cut, and save his money.
If need be, let all trains stop over the Sea-
board, except a mail or mixed train, until
their oppressors are satisfied, with their effort
to gobble it up.
Never before have we realized SO fully the
Justice Of the Alliance demands that the rail-
roads should be controlled by law, and should
not be allowed TO conspire openly and def
antly against a less able competitor. If this
plan of allowing the Southern TO gobble up
or kill everything in It's way is to 90 on, the
people will in fact be tied hand and foot.
II the Seaboard losses It's head, and spends
Its money because of the present provocation
great loss will result, and future progress in
Railroad building will be stopped.
Since writing the above we see that Presi-
dent st. John proposes not to Interfere with
the allied roads which carry freight at
eighty per cent. reduction. He says they can
commit suicide, If they wish to do so.
