a Gold Standard Ally.

iAllduNt lOuflllullOll
The Louisville and Nashville railroad
seems TO have made UP its mind to take
n full hand I'm national politics this year
4 correspondent. in another column, who
understands the situation in Alabama,
gives some facts about the sound-moncy
movement in that State.
1t is very we'll understood from other
sources that the Louisville and Nash
Vile IS not only handling the gold stand
ard in Alabama, but that the bulk Of
the gold movement in Kentucky can be
traced TO the same source when IL IL I'M
derstood that $25, 600 600 Of the stock Of
this corporation is owned in Europe,
and that the strong house Of Belmont. OF
New York. Is the financial hacker Of
this corpora ton, and that this strong
house of Belmont, Of New York. is also
the representative OF the Rothschilds. In
America. We can understand why they
are so anxious for the gold standard.
They have the right TO make this con-
tention from their standpoint. but they
have no right to hire men TO deceive the
people of Alabama and other States.
What is TO the interest OF the eastern
and European bankers is Numerically
opposed to all the interests OF Alabama,
except the money-lender.
II what our correspondent says Is true,
IT seems that the people will be able to
spot the workers. This IS half the

Like IA True Democrat.

Tn a manner which cannot possibly be
misconstrued. Congressman Joshua W.
Miles, of the First Maryland District,
gives direct refutation TO the rumor
which asserts that he does not intend
to support the Democratic ticket in this
campaign.
Though Congressman Miles ardently OPP
posed free coinage prior TO the action OF
the National Democratic Convention, he
nevertheless regards the action OF that
body as binding upon his Democratic
sense OF duty, and he gracefully submits
10 its decision.
Stating his position in a recent inter
view, which appeared in the New York
Journal, Congressman Miles said:
1.-THE fight on the money question has
been within the party. The party has
definitely acted upon II. Though the de-
cision has been adverse to my view. can
/ do less than yield to the clear decision
that has been made? ] must acquiesce in
the decision. and / do so. | dare not
oppose my own views to those which have
received the Endorsement, not only OF 20
per cent OF my own party, but also OF so
many worthy persons in whose judgment
I have been in the habit OF placing much
reliance.
81 shall vote for Bryan and Sewall and
II am nominated for Congress and
elected shall carry out the wishes OF
my people and represent them to the best
OF my ability
In signifying his acceptance OF the
situation in this plain and uneauivocai
manner, Congressman Miles outlines the
duty of every loyal Democrat. When inc
supreme court OF the party declares whh'
Democracy Is and enunciates a PLATFORM
which embodies It's Fundamental princi-
pies. every man who calls himself Dem
ocrat should either abandon his quarrel or
else surrender his name. When the su-

Commerce has set forth the advantages
Of this city for such purposes, but they

the high price named by the owners for
suitable property up.n which to establish
such plants has decided investors to go
elsewhere.
That city in the South which can
secure and establish the most factories

tories is practically limitless. and, wisely

WALL STREET o'EnLEArs ITSELF.

As a rule, cdtorially, the New forh
papers deal very gently with Wall street.
They either cast about TO find excuses
for the big gambling operations Of that
unsavory financial centre, or pass them
by I'm silence. When, some three weeks
ago. the bears conspired to assault the
market. caused values TO melt Ike snow
beneath the rays Of summers sum-
and brought the country TO the verge OF
manic the Journal of Commerce was
the only paper in New York that had the
nerve and the Independence to expose
the true inwardness Of the TRANSACTION
and denouuce il as II deserved TO be de-
nounced. on Friday last, however there
was another bear raid in Wall street.
and another slaughter OF good securities
and this was little more than some
~ tho other papers Of the metropolis could
stand. The Herald declared that, as iar
as external conditions were concerned
stocks were worth no more. and n" less
on Friday than they were six weeks be-
fore. when they were $50 a snare
higher. and the World, after arguing
along the same line suggested that the
'betting-shop." meaning the New fork
stock market, ought TO be closed
That these papers were right; that the
recent disturbances in the stock market
were not justified, as our New York con-
temporaries tacitiy admit, by political
conditions. or any question involving the
public credit. but were brought about
by the bear spectators, acting IN con-
cert with the Wall-street liars clearly
shown by the state of the stock market
Yesterday and the better feeling that
pervaded business circles generally. Had
there been any substantial reason for
the late tremendous slumps In stocks, II
would have been impossible. even II the
bulls had conspired with that view, 10
have brought about such a QUICK
general, and strong rally If legitimate
business had not discounted the prophe-
cies of the single gcli STANDARD men
the prophecies of those who are honest
in their convictions, as well as OF those
who are making the currency question a
shuttlecock for purposes Of gain-the two
Wall-street events under discussion, and
the Moore failure. in Chicago, would have
undoubtedly produced disastrous panic.
AS it Is, the situation would seem TO de-
monstrate that legitimate business Is
steadily emancipating itself from the in
auence Of Wall street, and is confident
of it's ability TO adjust itself to whatever
the presidential election may determine
touching our monetary system. In snort,
the Wall-street spectators and such of
their goldite allies as are actuated sole
" by a desire for gain, have o'erleaped
themselves, and done the silver cause
good service. BY their rapacity, and by
showing their hand too boldly, they have
discredited themselves with the general
business interests of the country. They
have caused the latter TO look more care
fully into the situation and the prospect,
10 the end Of being convinced that the
danger involved in putting the country
upon free-coinage basis has been gross
~ exaggerated.

II was understood by other United states
senators. We repubilshed recently his
great speech on that highly interesting
point.
1t IL singular how tina. speech has been
misrepresented. The Supreme Court OF the
United States never rendered any such
decision az that slaves had no rights which
their masters were bound to respect.
What that court said was that the slaves
had learned to believe that they had no
rights which the Supreme CouH was
bound TO respect.
Mr.. Summers speech may be said 10
have reversed the decision Of the Supreme
Court of the United States, as General
Grants speech on the legal-tender ques-
ton may be said TO have reversed the
decision of that case.

Speaking of the temporary Injunction
granted by Judge Simonton against the
Seaboard and Southern railway systems,
the New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
"The SimontOn case is certainly an ag-
gravated one, but it well illustrates the
system which crept into our government
during the days of Republican ascen-
dency. That the Democratic party is
right in protesting against this invasion
Of Jurisdiction no one who reads the
simonton case will doubt" 1t is generally
believed that Judge Simonton wiz dis
charge the rule in this case at the hear
ing on the 18th instant.-The Charleston
News and Courier.
Judge simonton is credited with being
much too quick on the trigger in the
matter of awarding injunctions. In the
Seaboard railroad case he doubtless i'm
posed hardship upon corporate in
terests, but he gave a tip-top and timely
object-lesson in vindication OF that plank
Of the Chicago platform which denounces
government by injunction.
Indeed, we know of no one man in the
South who has done more TO forward
Bryan's cause than has Judge Simonton.

The Bryan Enthusiasm.

There is no abatement in the en-
thusiasm over the candidacy OF William
]. Bryan for the presidency. The or
ganizatiOn of Bryan campaign clubs
throughout the country and other evil
dences OF popular interest show that there
IS something more substantial about the
Bryan boom than a spasmodic outburst
OF political excitement. The people
poured out by the thousands in honor OF
the Democratic nominee on his return
from the Chicago convention, and these
demonstrations are larger and more en-
thusiastic after a month has elapsed, as
he makes his Journey across the conti-
nent to receive official notification in the

good many people are puzzled TO
know where the Democratic campaign
money will come from this year. Those
who have been contributing it in the past
are, ~ a rule. opposing the Democratic
ticket now. 1t will require considerable
money to run the campaign. Some one
suggested to-day that Chairman Ellyson
might issue an appeal for 81 contrbu-
tions. and in this way raise large fund.

1t is true that our campaign fund this
year will be small We shall have TO
practice rigid economy and depend upon
volunteers to do our work as far as pos
