TT IS TOO PLAIN.

The conduct of the New York bankers in coming to the relief of the treasury gold reserve emphasizes very plainly the very low estimation those distinguished and patriotic CD gentlemen place upon the intelligence of the masses. It is tact known of all men and denied by no one that the bankers resolved to protect the gold reserve because a bond issue be- tween now and the November election would in their judgment probably result in the defeat of Mckinley.
 If those bankers considered the masses capable of self government they would know full well that the people at the polls, by their votes, will as certainly re- pudiate a ticket and platform pledged to continue financial system which makes the issuance of interest-bearng bonds in time of peace a necessity when the bond issue now due is postponed as they would had the bankers done in this in- stance as they have done in the past-de- manded bonds before coming to the relief of the treasury.
 The people know that bond issue is due under our financial system. They are fully aware that but for the fact that the campaign is now on the bankers would have demanded interest-bearing bonds for their gold. Then, why should they not as promptly vote against the ticket and platform pledging a continu- ance of that system as they would were the bonds actually issued?
 They will, but the bankers don't think so. Therefore we say in coming to the relief of the treasury as they have in inc ha ho .pt, ,fe, the fact that they do not credit the masses with but very little If any intelli- gence. They also demonstrate the fact that they do not understand at all the sentiment of the people. They demon- strate their own ignorance of the Ameri- can people.
 Where is the man so opposed to the issuance of interest bearing bonds in time of peace that an issue at this time would induce him to vote against Me Kinley, who will vote for him just be- cause the New York bankers have de- termined to postpone the issue until af- ter the election? He is not in Alabama We take it that the people of other states in the union are equally as intelligent as the people of Alabama, and, therefore, so far as the effects on the election are con- cerned the patriotic @ bankers are having all their trouble for nothing.
 They are -deoeivingp only themselves. The people realize that there is bound to- be one more issue of bonds before the 4th, day of next March. The banlfers' had just as we'll. have taken them fn August It would have been all the same to the people, who are arranging tS have no more issues, after the 4th of March.

Goodwyn has evidently fallen very much in love with himself as a. drawing card. As an evidence of this we cite the fact that he has had the managers of his campaign. to advertise him to speak in some three dozen different places on next Saturday,.
