WHY THEY DO TT.

A subscriber submits the following
questions to the state Journal:
I observe that a large amount of
gold is being shipped to this country
from England. What do the parties
who ship it get in exchange for it2
Don't they get treasury notes? And
can not they return the notes and get
their gold again. whenever it suits them
to do so? Then what do they gain by
paying the expenses Of shipping the
gold. especially if the secretary should
redeem the notes In silver, as he has
a perfect right to do?"
In exchange for the gold which is be-
ing shipped from England and deposit
ed in the United States treasury the de-
pusitors get greenbacks. They can re
turn these greenbacks and get back
their gold whenever they choose. 1t
must not be supposed. however, that
they are shipping in gold and paying
the expense thereof for fun, for their
health or for the accommodation of
Uncle Sam.
While little if anything can be known
absolutely of the mysterious workings
of Wall street, the most reasonable sup
position is that the gold is coming over
from England in obedience to the laws
of trade The foreign trade balance
has been largely in favor of the United
States for a long time and it must be
paid in something. When foreigners
cannot settle this balance in commodi-
ties they must settle it in gold. The
gold comes from London because Lon
don is the worlds clearing house.
There may be more than one reason
for depositing this gold with the United
States. First, it is safe there and can
be withdrawn whenever wanted. While
it remains in the treasury it will pre-
vent another issue of bonds. which
might prove disastrous politically to the
Wall street interests if such bond issues
should occur before the election.
Second, money is being withdrawn
from the eastern banks very extensive
ly, some of it, perhaps, through timid-
ity Of depositors, but mostly for use in
the general revival in business which
able on the part of the banks that gold
should get out among the people; it
would take too long to get it back. In
fact, under existing conditions it might
not come back.
AS to the redemption OF the green
backs in silver, it is certain that the
present secretary of the treasury will
not even make a tender of silver for
that purpose. Such a course cannot be
counted upon until there is a new sec
rotary in any event, and if the silver
ticket should carry the country, hold
ers of greenbacks will have ample time
to convert them into gold between No
vember and March 4, if they desire to
do so and the gold or the government
credit hold out.

to the fact that Henry Clay is the only

FARCICAL.
The Organization of "Sound Money Anti
Bryan Club at CuIman-Many in the
Scorners' Seats. r. .-.se.

Cullman, Aug. 1S.-(Special Core
spondence.)-The mountain has labored
and the mouse has come forth. 1t has
been known for a number of days that
Sound Money Anti-Bryan club would
soon be formed in Cullman. 1.-THE CALI
has been in circulation several days, and
of course the democrats were looking
forward with anxiety to the results, and
as the matter was under the personal di-
recton and management of Mayor
George III. Parker, we must say, to say
the least, that something more was ex-
pected than developed
Mr.. Parker distributed the circulars
calling the meeting in person, and made
personal appeals to democrats to come
out"
The meeting was to be called to order
at o'clock Monday night, but man
with half an eye could see from the eX-
preston of the few present at that hour
that there was but little anti-Bryan SEN
timent there.
At $50 o'clock Mr.. Parker called the
meeting to order and at length set out
its object and purposes, which We're, IN
brief to defeat If possible the election
of Bryan and Sewall, the democratic
nominees. They and the platform came
in for the usual share of abuse. 1t was
demagogy for the people to ask Tor free
coinage, anarchy to oppose federal IN
terferenCe ana n1Bn tfedSoH " ueSAoi Z
against life tenure in office. This was in
substance the burden of the remarks.
Forty-five voters by actual count We're,
at one time and another, in the room.
An opportunity was here offered Tor
"jlners," but none came forth
After permanent organization ana
some more remarks a second opportunl-
Wy for "s.gners' was given with the same
result OF those forty-five present nine
teen were Bryan and Sewall democrats,
four were populists, seven were re-
publicans and fifteen, whose views We're
unknown, but some of them were sound
money, anti-Bryan fellows"
A call for a mass meeting at the court
house on the oath instant was distriput-
ed 70 elect delegates to state conVen-
ton on the 9th to elect delegates to the
national convention at Indianapolis
Here another opportunity was given Tor
those desiring to join the club to do SO,
but it met the same cold comfort OF the
others, and not person responded. Inc
club adjourned to meet at 10 O'Clock a.
In. at the court house on the 24th instant
There were never more than hve Vot-
ing on any question and often not that
many. 1t Is believed that of the last nj
teen mentioned above not more than ten
were anti-Bryan men,

COTTON OPENING FAST.
Indications Are That Receipts for Next Few
Weeks Will Be Heavy.
Lafayette, Aug. 17.-(Special Core
spondence )-Since leaving home a week
ago have traversed considerable por-
ton of the state. AS far as l can judge
the crops are suffering greatly from
drouth and heat. The cotton crop, 1t
seems, must be materially cut off. But
1 never saw as much open cotton at this
season. 1t looks as though receipts
would be very large for the next few
weeks in spite Of the short crop.
At almost every point meet graduates
and former students of the State Nor
NAL college at Florence. From such In
variably receive a cordial greeting. The
college has friend in every one of these.
In this fact in large measure lies the
present prosperity of the normal. 1t has
its sons and daughters as active agents
scattered throughout the state. These
usually hold positions of prominence, too.
In this connection recall the fact that
most of the thirty-three members Of the
class graduated in May last have al
ready made engagements for next year.
BY the opening of the fall term (Septem-
Der 10 believe all will have done 90.
What could say more for the esteem In
which the institutions Is held az an
agency for training teachers? The nexl
promises to be our best year.
