EMANCIPATION DAY.
Two Celebrations in Progress in Antipo-
dial Parks of This Oity.

dial Parks of This City.
The colored citizens Of this city,
with their wives and families, are
celebrating the 3lst anniversary Of
the Emancipation act, the places OF
celebration being at San Pedro
park and Riverside park.
The San Pedro park procession
formed on Franklin Square and
moved at 10 o'clock through the
principal streets OF the city to the
park. There were two colored
policemen, mounted on horseback,
leading the column, (the COM
mittee had requested the police de-
partment to furnish them with
only colored officers, and follow
ing came the colored band, colored
militia company, baseball clubs,
eight Sunday schools in floats, a
decorated float with the queen Of
the day and maids Of honor, bicy-
Gle brigade, orators and commit
tees in carriages and citizens in
carriages.
Their program on reaching the
springs will be carried out as pre-
viously published in the LIGHT,
consisting.of speeches, military sa-
lutte, feasting and dancing.
The Riverside park celebration
began with formation Of parade
this morning in Travis park. The
column moved down Houston
street to Commerce promptly on
time, and boarded street cars at
the Navarro street corner. The
program at the park will consist
of music, dancing, speech-making,
roller skating and general picnic
pleasures.
Both celebrations will continue
to and include Sunday next.

EQUAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES.
Free Coinage Would Unjustiy Favor silver
for the Benefit of q Few.

Free Coinage Would Unjustly Favor Silver
for the BencHt of Few.
The democratic state convention of
South Carolina adopted a platform
drawn by Senator Pitchfork Tillman
which declared that "a sound and just
system of finance is the most potent
factor in q nations prosperity, and we
demand the restoration of the money or
the constitution by giving silver the
same rights and privileges given to
gold. We demand theefree and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at a ratio of six
teen to one"
1t is true that the nations prosperity
depends ON q sound and just system OF
finance. It is also true that silver
should receive the same rights and
privileges given to gold. But 1t Is not
true that these desirable ends would be
attained by free silver at sixteen to
one. On the contrary, that scheme vio-
lates every principle Of sound and just
finance, and is directly opposed to tho
great Jeffersoniany doctrine of equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none.
II would be q waste of time to show
that the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver dollars, the commercial value OF
which is only 81 cents, would be to give
the country a most unsound currency.
Nor is it needful to discuss the justice
CT q scheme for robbing creditors Of one
half of the property they have loaned.
These things are self-evident. But for
the benefit of those persons who believe
that our currency laws favor gold by
giving it privileges denied to silver, 1t
is necessary to state just what the gov
eminent does for the two metals.
In stamping 25.s grains Of gold, $500
fine, zone dollar" the United States
simply certifies to the weight and fine
ness of the coin. The mint stamp does
not fix the value of the gold nor does 1t
add to it in any way. Gold is coined ut
its market or bullion value.
With silver the government is more
liberal. Over 422,OO0,OOo silver dollars
have been coined, in none of which Is
the metal of which they are composed
worth their face value. The United
States takes silver bullionnow worth 6S
cents per ounce and coins it into dollars
at q ratio which implies that it is worth
S1.29 per ounce. That such coins circu-
late at par is due to the governments
declared policy of maintaining the par
ity of the two metals, nearly one-half
of the value of the silver being thus nat,
or depending on the country's credit.
The silverites do not want equal
rights for the white and yellow metals,
but special privileges for silver. They
want free coinage at sixteen to one, SO
that, instead of coming silver at its COM
mercial value, which is all that Is
done for gold, the government would
declare that 371A grains of pure silver
is worth as much as 23.22 grains OF
pure gold. Since the market ratio of
the two metals is about 74o grains OF
silver to 1922 of gold it can easily be
seen that free coinage would be the
rankest kind of favoritism to silver.
Instead of asking for equal privileges
the silver mine owners and their agents
are trying to secure class legislation
such as is given no other industry in the
world.
