COTTON.

The local market during the past week
was dull and DISTINGUISHING. The quo
tauons remained unchanged, with an oc-
casional change in the tone, which varied
from quiet and easy to steady. There is
nut little to say as regards the market.
Inc preparations for a large crop and
the belief that a vast increase in acre
age is drawback to speculation, and
the current reports of bad roads, which
Is supposed to check the volume of re-
celpts, has caused buyers of spots to
withdraw from the market.

- MIR. BRYAN TO woRKINeMEN

William J. Bryan is a man of the peo-
pie He recognizes and appreciates the
dignity of labor and is a real friend of
the workingmen. He believes that how
ever humble their occupation, however
obscure their position in the great eco
nomic fabric, that they have personal
rights and privileges which are inalen-
able and to the full and free enjoyment
of which they are entitled without let or
hindrance, fear or favor or the hope of
reward. Addressing an audience of wage
earners in New York last Tuesday Mr..
Bryan said:
when ] want to speak to working
men l do not go to their employers and
ask them to deliver the votes of those
who work for them. I have known en-
ployers in the west who have tried to
force object lessons on their employees,
and have used the Mexican dollar as an
argument Whenever an employer tries
to tell you how to vote tell him the
declaration of independence says that all
men are created equal before the law,
and that you are his equal before the law
and your vote cannot be bartered away.
AN are business men who, by labor of
hand or mind, contribute to the wealth
and greatness of this nation, and the bal
| lot is given to all that each may use the
ballot to express not what some one else
w
And yet, this man, because he believes
and declares that all men are equal be-
fore the law and have the right to use
| the ballot to express their individual
political opinions, and not the selfish de-
sires of some one else, is characterized as
| a communist by the advocates of finan-
clal system which has been more destruc-
tive of the material interests and welfare
| of the nation and the people, and pro-
| duced more anarchy and ruin than war,
pestilence and famine. BY them he is
| denounced as an anarchist because he
| stands for a real, living democracy and
| true republlcanism, "a government of the
| people by the people, for the people"
as against a plutocratic oligarchy, a
| reign of syndicates, by syndicates, for
| syndicates.
| In its final analysis, the real question,
| the freemen of this nation are called
upon to decide for themselves in the
| November election is: "Shall the people,
| through their own freely chosen repre-
sentatives, govern themselves, or shall
| they be ruled by the creatures and tools
| of a cabal of money gamblers and tariff
| barons, whose prosperity has multiplied
as the poverty and restitution of the
| masses increased?
| Upon the manhood, courage independ-
| ence and love of liberty of the honest
| yeomanry of the republic depends the
| freedom of the citizen and the perpetuity
| of republican institutions in this country.
| If they wish and deserve to remain free
| and enjoy the blessings Of q free repub-
| lie, they win give their loyal and hearty
support to the man who proclaims to
them their equality before the law and
declares their right to use their ballots
! in accordance with their wishes, free
| from restraint or coercion from their
! employers or any other source, rather
than for one who. through his managers.

NOT PARALLEL CASES.

That comparison of the political and
moral midgets who are to get together
in Indianapolis next week to the south
ern rights part of the Charleston conven-
ton in $780, made at Seals hall by a citi-
zen of whom better things were expected,
was exceedingly Inappropriate. The del
egates who walked out of the Charleston
convention were men of character and
ability. They represented great states,
whose rights were involved and IN jeop-
rady, and they were under instructions
which they obeyed. They did not stay
in the convention until it had adopted a
platform and made nominations, and
then refuse to support them. They
would have scorned such dishonorable
proceeding. AS soon as they found it i'm
possible to agree with the northern dele
gates on a platform, after announcing
beforehand their purpose, they did as be-
came men true to themselves and their
people-they took their hats and left.
The small creatures who are to be in In
dianapolis were all represented in the
Chicago democratic convention and
some of them were there as delega ties.
They did all they could to have the plat
form and nominations as they wished.
They did not leave the convention when
defeated nor at all, but remained to the
end and were bound in honor and con-
science to abide by and support its &C
ton as much as If it had been exactly
suited to their wishes. At Indianapolis,
they will represent what? Only the cor
porations, trusts and rings that pay them
salaries and furnish free passes and 1901
feed bills. They will be herd of asses
masquerading in sham lions skins, whose
braying may please their boss at
Buzzard's Bay and Brute Hanna and
tickle their own ears, but can only eX-
cite disgust and contempt in the minds OF
all true democrats.
1t is strange that any one should ever
think of comparing such an aggregation
to the gallant array which, right in prin-
ciple even if mistaken in policy, followed
in 1860 the standard of Breckenridge and
states rights democracy.

The Birmingham Popu,ist Herald has
dropped it's ATTACKS on Governor Jones
and turned it's attention to Generai mar
rison. He answered Its slurs admirably
in his speech in the convention Inurs-
day. When speaking of its editors ne
said: 81 only hope the people OF BIZ
mingham know them as well as we dlu
when they lived in Opelika. "-Montgom-
cry Advertiser.
We do not apprehend that any one
doubted that the Advertiser would in
dorse the style of attack General Harri-
son chose to make on two gentlemen con-
nected now with the State Herald, potn
of whom removed from Opelika TO BIZ
mingham and who were referred TO py
General Harrison as the operators Oh
the State Herald, but changed by the
Advertiser to the editors" of the paper
in its Endorsement of the assault as
above. Not bearing the reputation of
reputable journal in this state, the Ad-
yertiser Is of course to be expected to
indorse the class of assaults now in
question on men who, in order to be true
to themselves and their calling, have
been forced to incur its displeasure.
Reputable journals and brave, honest
men everywhere unhesitatingly frown
people of Birmingham know them as
well as we did when they lived In Ope-
lika" might possibly mean that in Ope-
lika they were the pillars of the church
and known as examples in society, or
it might mean that in Orel:ka they were
not in good repute. Still the maker of
the assault avoids the responsibility of
making direct charge. Gallant, brave
men scorn that kind of warfare and
reputable journals never indorse 1t.
Mckinley says sententiously that the
need of the times is mot an increase Of
coin, but an increase of confidence" He
seems to have come across an excess Of
confidence, for 1t is said that he got In
debt and now owes some one about s11S,-
900, all upon credit, which is just another
name for confidence. Would not an Gin
crease of coin" be more desirable to any
honest man so situated than any addi-
tional amount of "confidence?" And his
creditors must be very peculiar ones. not
to have slight preference for the solid
coin over such breezy confidence.
