NOT SCARED BY SILVER.
Notice Posted in Factory Promising Increase of Wages in the Event MT. Bryan
 Is Elected.

Newark, O., Oct. 5.-(Special to the Constitution.)--It has been many days since a factory notice promising increased wages has been seen in this viclni- ty, but the employees of the Central City Stove works here were treated to this novel sight tonight.
 A peculiar provision accompanies the promise, namely, that in case of William J. Bryan's election an increase of 10 per cent in the wages of every employe in this union foundry will be given.
 A remarkable feature in connection with the case is that the company's 8 president, c. w. Cunningham, has been a lifelong republican, while the heaviest stockholder, w. N. Fulton, is an enthusi- astic silverite, though he is a leading banker. Nearly all the employees are re- publicans, but all are Bryan supporters
 The people have been so accustomed to predictions of depression under the bi- metallic standard made by employers of labor that this notice comes as a tre- mendous surprise.
 President Cunningham said today the reason the promise of better wages was made is that the company feels confident free coinage will so stimulate business, especially in the west, where the trade largely lies, that an increase will be justi- fled. He cited the fact that holders wages before silver's demonstration were higher than they are today and pointed out how a manufa cturer of stoves voluntarily increased wages in 1879, after the Bland acts passage, which revived the west. He believes business under free coinage will justify even further wage advances.

JOHN G. CARLISLE

According to my view of the sub- ject, the conspiracy which seems to have been formed here and in Europe to destroy by legislation and other wise from three-sevenths to one-half of the metallic money of the world is the most gigantic crime of this or any other age. The consummation of such a scheme would ultimately entail more misery upon the human race than all the wars, pestilence and fam inc that ever occurred in the history of the world. The absolute and in- stantaneous destruction of half the movable property of the world, in- cluding horses, ships railroads and all other appliances for carrying on com merce, while it would be felt more sensibly at the moment, would not produce anything like the prolonged distress and Reorganization of socie- ty that must inevitably result from the permanent annihilation of one half of the metallic money of the world. "-J. G. Carlisle, in house of representatives, 1878.

BEGIN COLLECTING TODAY.
Drs. Hale and Gray Will Call for the Subscrip-
 tions to Howard.


 Drs. Hale and Gray will begin this morning the collection of subscriptions in the city to Howard college. The pay ment of the indebtedness on the college must be met promptly and the worthy gentlemen who have exerted so much en- ergy and devoted so much time to the cause ought not be delayed in the work by the failure of any subscriber to pay promptly
 Dr. Hale remarked to State Herald reporter yesterday that there are quite number in Birmingham from whom he expected liberal subscription who have not yet subscribed. Birmingham can i'll afford to lag in this matter, and now that other sections of the state are responding so literally to the liquidation of the debt 1t behooves those citizens of Birmingham who are able and whose interests are di- rectly affected to make liberal contribu- ton.
 The schools of Birmingham and her su- burbs are the pride not only of Alabama and the south. but the whole country, and the indebtedness now hanging over one of her chief institutions should not be al- lowed to retard our educational progress or shadow the enviab ble reputation of the school interest of the district. The State Herald feels assured that when Drs. Hale and Gray call upon our citizens today those who have subscribed will pay promptly and those not yet on the list will respond literally to their ap- peal,

HANNA IS " HACKED"
Not at all Sure That Mckinley Will Be Elected The Labor Vote Is Worry
 ing Him.

Chicago Oct 5.--(Special to the Consti- tuition )-Mark Hanna has thrown up his hands.
 He admits that he is not at all sure that Mckinley will be elected.
 The laboring vote, he is now convinced, will go almost bodily for free silver Mr. Hanna has not said these things for pub lication: he has not proclaimed them from the houstops, but he has nevertheless stated them privately.
 q have but little, if any, faith in the election of Mckinley" Hanna is authen- tically reported to have said.
 And" he continued, mo matter what we do or say to the laborlng men Debs and other leaders have them so well or ganized and instructed that they will go to the polls and when they go inside the booths they will vote as they please"
 These remarks were made by Mir. Han ma in confidence to a prominent Chica- goan, in the presence and hearing of two other friends.
 One of these friends happened to be the wife of a well-known political leader of Indiana who is espouslng the cause of Bryan and free silver. D. w. B.

JOHN J. INGALLS, ON GOLD.

"N0 people, in 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 it does not betray. Armies and na- vies are not maintained by gold. In times of panic and calamity, ship wreck and disaster, it becomes the agency and minister of ruin. No na- tion ever fought a great war by the aid of gold. On the contrary, in the crisis of the great peril it 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"

I sec in the near future crisis ap- preaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a 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. l feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever be- fore, even in the midst of war.

Selma. Ala, Oct. 5. 1896.

Selma, Ala, Oct. 5, 1896. To the State Herald:
 In your report of the proceedings of the recent state convention of the prohibition party held in Montgomery, I note my nomination as presidential elector for the Fourth district. Permit me to say that such use of my name is entirely unau- thorized and would have been forbidden had I been consulted in the matter. I have decided views on the question of "the preacher in politics" which forbid my candidacy for any office, or my taking any active part in political affairs be- yond the quiet exercise of my right of suffrage.

Capt. R. F. Kolb has been a consistent advocate of the free coinage of silver. He has all along advocated financial and industrial reform. He al one time thought 1t out of the question to expect al the hands of the democracy the reforms the people need but now seeing as he does that the only way to secure reform Is by the election of the democratic nominees he comes out boldly for the ticket and ap peals to the men who have followed him during the past six years to go with him. They will go, too, and that is why the Advertiser is so mad over Captain Kolb s support of the ticket
