THE FREE SILVER BILL.

The senate on yesterday, by a vote of AZ to 95, adopted the free silver substitute to the house bill It is a square-cut de- mand by the senate for free silver coin age as a remedy for the financial diffi- culties that beset the government, and for which there is no other possible re- lief in view. Congress will not retire the greenbacks and place in their stead ap interest-bearing debt. The country will not tolerate the endless issue of bonds to replenish a fund that is being forever depleted, They are sick and weary of dipping buckets into empty wells' What is left? The senate, the ambassa- dors of the states, say in this bill that the remedy is to open the hints to free coinage of silver at the ancient ratio, and to plant the money of the people upon the primal metals which have served the wants of the world since the beginning of history, The bill provides for the coinage of the seigniorage, and authorizes certificates to be issued in an- ticipatione of such coinage It restricts all national bank notes hereafter to dea nominations above $10, leaving silver to fill the gap below $10. It also instructs the secretary of the treasury to redeem the greenbacks when presented in either gold or silver, at his option. Upon the passage of this measure 1t will be seen that twenty-six democrats. voted in favor of it; only thirteen democrats voted against it. The other votes in favor of 1t came from republicans. and all of the votes against 1t except the thirteen demo- crats came from republicans
 It is not expected that the house will accept this substitute the republican party being a sole gold standard party, but the bill will go to a conference com mittee, and out of that conference it is possible that silver may get substan- tial foothold and a vantage ground thai may place it in position for an advanced movement that may be shortly yictori- ous. Of course, however, no predictions are safe so long as the president stands with his veto behind all legislation.

---------------------- THE SOUTH AND THE GIANT.

 Fair, beauteous south heard that you Are prosperous and gay! Speak now and let all hear the truth, For that came this way! Then spoke the south, where Marion fought And Washington had birth, With flashing eye this tale she told While tilling the earth. I stood within a cotton field,
 With cane upon my right, And orange trees not far from me, My burnt home on the right; Beside me then a giant came,
 His sword raised OCT my head, And bade me say happier was Than when here was wed. I said it, but my children knew feared he would them slay; said 1t for they feeble were
 And defenseless lay. That giant then his firearms raised, His smoke obscures my land: Wait wait until this cotton grows. And get gold in hand. sa 'fa r. My children then will all be grown, al And heavier be their tramp Than when. their steel clad brothers
 marched. -5-..f. ss4s Who now in heaven camp;e Then let that giant come again, To make me wag my tongue,'s@ ~. And he will find giantess isiEs. sis sSi

BIRMINGHAM STATE HERALD@ SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 2 1896.

Clanton, the chairman of ae democratic state executive committee-a man who. if he had lived, would have been governor or senator. General Clanton had been employed by Governor Lindsay to repre7 sent the state-in certain legal proceedings atHKnoxville with reference to the Staht ton bonds. He was shot down and killed in the. streets~of that city, in view of the judge of the court. The difficulty was due in large part to the embittered polit7 ical feeling of the day. All of this is an cient history, but it is still interesting to recall.

Col. J. Soule Smith, one of Blackburn's chief lieutenants, says that Blackburn would have been elected several days ago had it not been for the editorial from Henry Watterson, in which he stated that 'if the votes of the sound money democrats would elect MT. Blackburn then that is best of all reasons why those votes should never be given him.

If there are any populist editors in Ala bama who want to see what they say re- produced in the Advertiser they have only to say something harsh or disrespect- ful of Captain Johnston.

It will be seen that this resolution falls very far short of recommending to the president that this government extend bellgerent rights to the Cuban insur- gents.-AdvertiSer.
 It only recommends and advises Spain to extend belligerent rights to the Gu bans. But is not this an admission that they are entitled to bellgerent- rights, and does 1t not follow that it is our duty to do what we advise Spain to do? - .a.

Wheat Going Up.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Wheat broke the
record for the season this morning is
selling at S01s Dec, two! cents over
Saturdays close. The advance was
not attended by great excitement.
Few open orders TO take profit on
long stuff at an even figure brought
only a temporary set back. Outside
markets were particularly strong. The
visible supply showed an increase of
1,243000 bushels.
The threatened crop damage in the
Argentine. doleful rumors of unsatis
factory fall seeding i'll Russia and
France, and large seaboard clearances
we're chief factors which contributed
to the success of the bulls. Corn,
oats and provisions participated in ad-
vance proportionately.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-The Mark Lane
Express in long article on crops
says: ....
@The deficiency in India is now
known to be very serious, but it is
not known that any large wheat I'M
ports will occur.
although prices only range from
Cos to 36s per quarter, the extre me
poverty of the Indian populace
renders anything over 30s almost pro
hibitory, and los to 25s is the usual
range. ",.... .....r 't
Sowing to the failure of crops in
india and Australia, deficiency OF

itself is sufficient to hold the recent
rise.
