CONTEMPT FOR THE PEOPLE.

Here Is an illustration of the contempt
 of the money changers for the people,
 and of their insolence toward those who
 happen not to agree with them. Just
 hear MT. Secretary J. w. Faxon, "assist-
 ant cashier of the First National bank
 of the village at the foot of Lookout mountain, in his report to the Tennessee Bankers association held in his town last month, and who approved this petty officials utterances by re-electing him:
 "The hour has fled when we, as bank CTS, should continue to keep paddock on our lips and let the demagogues run business affairs. We work under and
 abide by the law. Our business is honor able, and we should not bend the knee to those who cry down our profession in
 order to earn the smiles and votes of the
 ignorant classes. We should stand forth
 and maintain our rights. Anarchism Is
 at the bottom of the efforts of the snivel-
 ing politician, whose repudiating inten- tions and financial cajolery would rob us of that which not enrcheS him.
 "The bankers of Tennessee should form an alliance through the medium of l this association-offensive and defensive and endeavor to correct the false teach- ings of those fanatical cranks who would l join and abet in any scheme to repudiate | our honest debts. Seek promulgator l of these malicious doctrines and nine times out of ten you will find man who would plead usury to escape the pay ment of a debt, or man who will never pay his debts if he can possibly avoid it. Let no such man be trusted.
 How eloquently does MT. Faxon dis course of tour rights" .fgnorant classes" "anarchism," 'snivelling poll | tcians," "alliances offensive and defen- sive" against "fanatical cranks' and Ire | pudiators," by whom, of course, he
 means all who do not believe in gov | ernment of the country by the banks and | for the banks. Let no such man be trust | ed," shouts MT. Faxon. And so the word | is "s-a-u-n-t." Doubtless MT. Faxon feels l better now, since he said his piece.

- Q SMALL MATTER, ANY WAY.

If Mckinley and Mark Hanna imagin- ed that in the capture of Senator Hund- ley they had made big haul they must
 have felt very much crest fallen on re- ceipt of his letter published in the Chat
 tanooga Times. We reproduce the letter elsewhere this morning. It is most re- marka ble document.
 We have often wondered since the an- nouncement was made what could have induced Senator Hundley to take the course he has. Just the other day card from him in the Huntsville Mercury an- nounced that at the proper time he
 would set forth his reasons for abandon
 ing the party that has often honored
 him. With some degree of impatience
 we awaited the appearance of the req
 sons The contents of the letter are in-
 deed disappointing.
 In fact, the greatest possible damage the departure of Senator Hundley can
 do the democracy is in calling the atten- tion of the public generally to the fact that here in Alabama the democratic party has elected a man to the state sen-
 ate who is utterly unable to give req son for the faith that is in him. There is | hardly a schoolboy in Alabama who | could not prepare an abler letter and clothe in good language better excuse | for a democrat embracing McKinleyism | than Senator Hundley has been able to | do. The letter carries with it irresisti- | bly the conviction that some one has said l to the senator thou shalt. In all candor, | we do not really think the matter amounts to anything anyway. It will l not damage the democracy. It does not l damage the prospects of promising young man for political preferment. In this country it requires something more than money and good looks to make it possible for a young man to rise very high in the scale of political preferment. MT. IIundley will always bear the title of ex-state senator, and that is all he could have expected had he remained a democrat.

CURRENCY CONTRA orroN AND AurN

| On the Fist of March, 1884, MT. Calhoun, in the United States senate, in discussing the proposed recharter of the United States bank, stated that one of the most important financial laws is that in any country "as the circulation is decreased or increased the rest of the property will, all other circumstances remaining the same, be decreased or increased in value exactly in the same proportion" This law no one then disputed, and hardly any rational man will be found now to deny. A country's money guages and fixes the value of all it's other property. Let this law be applied to the condition of this country at present. One year ago our total property was generally estimated at $70,O00,0OO.0OO. Our circulation then, on July l, 1895, as officially announced, was $1 1,604, ,191 ,96S. On July l. 1896, it was $1, ,509, 725, 200, decrease of $94, 406, ,76S, or more than one-seventeenth of the whole in one year. This, under the law stated by MT. Calhoun, demonstrates a loss in the money value of the total property of the country of more than S4,100, 900 within 0 year past, due solely and d- rectly to the contraction of the currency. Hence it is that the money value in the market of three crops-wheat, corn and oats-raised this year is S435,000,000 less than ih would be at the prices of one year ago, and all other products of industry have shrunk in value to the bare cost of production, or even less. But the gold consprators are still unsatisfied, and with one voice demand a further con- traction of the circulation by the retire. ment and destruction of the $500,000,000 of greenbacks and coin certificates, which are a full third of the entire circulation. If they succeed in electlng Mckinley they propose to effect such contraction; and that means the destruction absolutely and directly of $2O, 1000, ,OO00o0, or one-third of the money value of the aggregate property of the country. It means the transfer of all the property of the ooun- try to the owners of money and credits. It means confiscation by and for them; the uprising of the oppressed millions of the land. What more 1t may mean only God knows

PUBLIC OPINION.

"Fight the battle on republican lines, and fight hard until the victory is won!' exclaims the New York Press. We "thank you for your voice. There IS no disguise about the Press republicanism. And we would say to all democrats ac- cept the challenge and fight the battle on democratic lines.-Richmond Dispatch, Dem.
 Nevertheless the Telegraph thinks those concessions ought to be made by all democrats-especially in the south to the extent of voting the party ticket and in the meantime withholding ex-- pressions of their disapproval of the innovations in party doctrine made at Chicago. The Tele- graph itself will adopt this course, and urges all it's readers who with 1t suffered keen disappointment in the action of the convention to do the same.-Macon Tele- graph, Dem.
 Were Marion Butler a little older we might have the -'boy orator of the Platte" and the "boy senator as the popuhst party ticket, but Marion is only 33. and the constitution provides that mo per- son shall be eligible to the office of presi- dent who shall not have attained the age of 35 years" and that mo person consti- tutionally ineligible to the office of presi- dent shah be eligible to that of vice pres- ident."-Richmond Dispatch, Dem.
 The Chicago Times-Herald says: "Mc- Kinleyism builds; Bryanism breaks" The people remember how McKinleyism
 buiIded at Homestead and 292 other places between October 16, 1890, and June 10, 1892. They also remember how Me Kinleyism builded a renaissance deficit of SIP, 900, 900 for the democracy to meet. As Bryanisnl, whatever that may mean. has not been embodied in a law, no one can say whether it breaks or builds.-- Memphis Commercial-Appeal, Dem. Col Tohn R EeIIows is an elouuef1t orator, able lawyer, and was good Con- federate soldier. New York environment has made him goldhug and probably a bolting democrat. He is no prophet.

DON'T RESIGN.

It begins to look as though Secretary Hoke Smith has really resolved to leave
 the cabinet If the president has reach ed that point where member of his cabinet who declares his intention to support the nominees of the democratic party must get out. it is to be hoped thao such members will not voluntarily re- sign, but await the call of the president for their resignations. Many strange things have transpired in politics this year It has been history making year es regards politics and political parties. To cap the climax let us by all means enable the historian to record the fact that in 1896 a president elected by the democratic party in 1892 became so un- democratic that he ordered out of his

We the democrats of the state of Ala hama. in convention assembled, declare our continued faith in the old time ana honored principles of the democratic party, and among these principles are the following: /, silver and gold at 16 to 1 as the standard money of the country, without any dis crlmination against either metal and without the consent of foreign nations, as the United States colned silver and ~old before the republican party ob- fained control of the government and nbanped the coinage laws of the country for inc benefit of class and to the in- jury of a great mass of the people.

 We cordially invite all good citizens of this state, and especially all democrats who strayed from the party to unite with us In an earnest and determined ef- fort to maintain good government in the state of Alabama.
 Let us preserve the dignity and credit and peace, and, if possible, the prosperity of our state.

THE "PRospBRITY, Ir BRINGS.

Clapp & Co.,, fierce gold maniacs of New York, in their market letter of the 9th of July. 1896, after some incoherent, senseless rant and some untruthful as- sertions about silver, come to actual facts and make the following significant statements:
 Twenty-Five railroads were forecosed in the first six months of 1896, represent ing 3f02 miles of road and $349, ,049,0 900 in stocks and bonds, against twenty roads. 2396 miles and $1o09 000 stocks and bonds in the same time last year, and besides these foreclosures, eighteen roads 1896 miles and $190S61,000 stocks and bonds have within six months past gone into the hands of receivers. Ponder on these facts and figures. In six months 7298 miles of railroads lost to their own CTS and builders.
 Failures for the first half of 1896, 7021, with liabilities of $97, ,S69, 6S2, against 6657 the same time last year, with liabilities of $SS,S39 944, an increase of per cent in number and more than 10 per cent in amount over the same time last year.
 Deficiency of the United States reve- nue below expenses, $26, ,042 PA in 1S95-6, against SAP 825, ,050 in 1S94-5 and $69, ,S03, ,291 in 1S93-4, showing a total deficiency in three years of profound peace, under the absolute gold regime, of $13S ,670, ,555.
 Within the same time S262, 800 900 bonds have been issued to provide gold for the accommodation of raiders on the treas ury.
