GOVERNOR GRIGGs AND HIS STAFF TO ATTEND
THE CHARITY BALL on THURSDAY NIGHT
Birmingham state herald., 1896-06-14
TO STARVE US OUT.

The jig is up with fhe farmers. They have committed an unpardonable offense. The growing crop of cotton is to be all lowed to lie around the gin houses and country towns and rot, while the bleak winds blow through the threadbare cloth ing of the poor in the north and east.
 All of this is to come about because the people want to throw off the gaTlfng yoke of gold bugsm
 The suffering spoken of by MT. Carlisle as certain to follow in the wake of the destruction of one-half the .metallic money is to be eclipsed by the suffering and deprivation we are promised if we insist on voting against the British gold standard.
 MT. Julius Chambers of the New York Journal, writing to his paper from Wash ington under date of June 9, tells a lot of dreadful things that are to happen to the people of the south and west at the com mand of the Wall street magnates unless the people hush.
 The awful fate awaiting our coming cotton crop is told of by the correspond ent in the following forceful way. He of course gets his information from a New Yorker. He dubs him New York demo- crat, but that part of the story is not true, we are sure. Democrats don't talk that way.
 Here Is what he says:
 "A New York democrat said at the Ar lington hotel tonight
 The western and southern men of our party are certainly out of their minds. They never have felt the weight of the commercial interests of the east arraYed soldly against them. The greenbackers and populists, silverites and grangers never have witnessed a cavalry charge by the combined money interests of the country.
 "'They will be it in November The south will suffer most, fear It's loans will be called to the last dollar Its cot ton will be left to rot in the congresses, because the railroads that are owned and operated by northern capitalists, in majority of cases at a loss, will refuse 10 carry 1t. In the west every mortgage that Is held against every farm in the sil- yer states will be foreclosed. All lines of credit for dry goods and groceries dn these Independent regions will be closed, because the eastern bankers and merchants regard the silver movement as absolutely dangerous to tho financial future of the country
 Wouldn't this mean rsvolution?' was asked.
 Perhaps; but thls crusade against the east already under way L revolutionary

PUBLIC OPINION.

The rivers and harbors bill is like other bills of the same sort for years, some of which, far more extravagant than the present bill President Cleveland signed without murmur. His morbid con- science did not prick him until the begin hing of a political campaign, and it's rue tions will probably subside as soon as the nominations have been made.-Baltimore American, Rep.
 The talk of nominating Vice President stevenson for president on a free silver platform is an assumption that Adlai is free and unlimited disciple, though he has said nothing for publication that would seem to justify the conclusion On the silver question Adlai has been as mum as Mckinley of late. Perhaps he, too, is waiting until after the lightning strikes.-Boston Herald, Ind.
 Joy nestles in the bosom of Richard Parks Bland, and all the clouds that low cred upon his boom turn themselves in- side out and show their silver Things. The ''crime of 1S73' looms up before him, gorier to see than a sunset in dog day drouth. The money power is seized with

guilty trembling of the knees The sun of hope rises like a colossal silver cart wheel, and in the west, by request. The democrats of Oklahoma have instructed their delegates to vote for Silver Dick New York Sun, Dem.
 Mir Cleveland is proverbially fond of featuring the country. With an assump- tion of superior wisdom, which is at once ridiculous and offensive, he is continually warning the people that if they do not take his advice they will plunge straight to destruction. This country wants no more advice from the democratic presi- dent. whose policy has temporarily wrecked it's prosperity. It proposes to prove both its patriotism and it's con- mon sense by restoring the republican party-the grand old party of Amercan- ism, of justice and of progress-to com plete power on March 4, 1897.-New York Commercial Advertiser. Rep.
 These suited and silly denunciations of the American people have long since ceased to have any effect other than the irritation and disgust which such exhibi- tions of pharisaic morality commonly produce in intelligent minds. In this in- stance. aimed not in the air, but directly at congress, MT. Cleveland's assertion of pie of genuine and trustworthy love and affection for our government" is likely to counteract wha tever force there might have been in proper and respectful statement by him of the objections to the rivers and harbors bill, considered on its merits.-New York Sun, Dem.

and quite as disastrous to the people of the east as any civil war could possibly | be- If the gold men-the British heelers fn the east--really desired to help the silver cause along they could not possibly ren- der the cause more efficient service than that which they are now rendering. Such threats as contained in the above will serve only to make the people of the south and west the more determined to continue the contest until they are free
 from the domina ton of the domineering east. Let the contest continue.
 What more is needed to rally the voters of the south and west to action and drive them to the polls to vote in one solid phalanx against the unholy demands of the east than the bold threat to starve them into submission.
 If, to avoid the terrible calamity prom ised the south and west by the east, southern and western men should shirk their duty they would be unworthy to be called men. They would prove them selves utterly unworthy the respect of any and all men
 If at the expiration of thirty years of rule the east coolly informs the men of the south and west that unless they quietly submit to a continuation of the rule of the east they will be turned out of house and home, how long will it be until they will send their tax gatherers among us with straps, as the same class of men in England have already done in regard to Egypt.
 If the husbands, fathers and sons of the south and west shirlx their duty in this contest they will prove themselves un- worthy the name.

 Let us preserve the dignity and credit and peace, and, if possible, the prosperity of our state.

Editor Nunnellee of the Selma Times thinks the editor-in-chief of the Adver- tiser simply got out of Stalling's way. He also thinks the majors chances for the nomination, had he remained in the race, would have been slim. Of the with drawal Of the major Editor Nunnellee says: t--~ssae M
 Mai. W. W. Screws, the veteran se- nior editor of the Advertiser, writes a card declining, longer to be a candidate for congress. Major Screws sees the handwriting on the wall He says the national democratic convention will adopt a free coinage platform, and he thinks candidates ought to be in posi- ton to stand on the democra tic platform. He says he is against free silver and if nominated he would have to give up his personal convictions to support the plat form. Major Screws has acted wisely. He stood no more chance of getting the nomination in the Second district than a snow ball has keeping from melting in h-l, and he has shown his good sense by getting from under the trip hammer. If Major Screws had stuck to the policy that he advocated in the columns of the Advertiser before that change of heart came over him he would have been nom mated and elected. Major Screws sim ply got out of. Jess way to keep from being run over. He's got sense."

The Rand-McNally Bankers Monthly of Chicago reports that the National Bank of Mexico declared an annual div- idend May 22 of F per cent and in addi- tion added heavily to it's reserve fund. The banking business appears to be pros porous in silver using Mexico.

Says the Cincinnati Inquirer: Many students of politics are urging that the democratic nominee for president on a free silver platform will be elected by the south and the trans Mississippi vest hopefully.

And now we are told that Editor E. w. Carmack is likely to become editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal. If MT. Car mack should be announced as editor of the Courier-Journal it will be notice to the country that the owners of the paper are going to look elsewhere than to Wall street for the wherewithal to keep the paper going. It will be in substance a declaration that the Courier-Journal will once more cast its lot with the people. Since abandoning them the paper has not done well.

Of course Goodwyn voted to oust Un- derwood and give Aldrieh the seat which he now holds by virtue of his partisan committee having disfranchised several hundred tax paying white voters in Hale and Perry counties and overriding the will of about 45o other white Democrats and tax payers in the district by the counting for him of that many negro votes that were never cast.
