Friday, July?, 1893. /i ir-l rr ' Mr. S. Frank: Parrott ix the author- ited agent of The Herald. He mil solicit mbMiiption* and advertm- mentx and rertifd for ihtmey. While wtcbelieve there are other -a* ‘ p, i. causes, as for illustration the reckless extravagance of the late Republican national administration and the op pressive tariff, for the present stringency and distrust that exists in business circles, it may lie safely stated that the constant agitation of the silver question has done more to bring about the present condition of affairs than anything else that could be suggested. Why some of our peo ple will insist on the government, when it comes to paying means the people making the owners of the silver mines a present of a good many million dollars, *in case Congress passes the free ooinage act, passes our comprehension, yet this is exactly what will be done if this visionary and ruinouspolicyisever inaugurat ed. Silver has declined so much in price recently that there is only about fifty-five cents of the metal in the present silver dollar. For the government to undertake to make this amount of silver worth a dollar in gold would be, in the highest degree, ruinous and it would take the country years to recover from the effects of such unwise and suicidal legislation. Cupidity of the part of the silver mine owners, demagogism on the part of some of our politicians and ignorance on the part of a good many of the people are responsible for this demand. The first two classes are not amenable to argument, the people' are the ones to whom we appeal, and beg that they will give this question their careful considera tion, being fully persuaded that when they do they will repudiate the teachings of those who, to carry out their own selfish ends, have led them astray, and sustain the present ad ministration in its efforts to give the country good money and a safe finan cial policy, ■ ' ■ -M. The Third party must belong to the reptile tribe, that is if we are to jildge by its ability to kick the air after its bead has been severed from its body, as was done in the last election. The latest move of this headless center is seen m a long arti cle ih the Cotton Plant, from the pen bf Mr. ,t. W. Held, the secretary of the Htate alliance, in which he states that any one who thinks that the vote for Weaver represents all the Thlre party vote in this Slate is very much behind the times. Mr. Reid's assertion conveys no news to any Intelligent mac, as the fact was per fectly apparent that, during the cam paign, a great many so-called demo crats were Weaver men at heart but lacked the courage »nd honesty to eoffle out openly for him, and thereby tufi the risk of losing any patronage they might secure ip tb^ event of almost certain Democratic success. If Mr. Reid and those who sympathize with him, wish to engage in the useless task of gathering np the scattered remains of this mixture of socialism and unmitigated nonsense, that was so badly broken np by the explosion of dynamite at the last election and try and patch them to gether, nobody will object, Imt before commencing the job it wonld be well fur them to berr m mind that the •aue Democratic axe,-which, in the hands of Grover Cleveland, so eaiily decapitated both the Republican anil Third party at one blow, is slill on hand and ready to execute the same feat again. It still keeps!u temper and despite its many jobs of this kind Us edge is as keen as ever.

The e.lilor, however, informs in, at the bn!tminf the fourth page that the articles are copied from the American .loiiriml >>f Politics. Of course the presumption is very fair that they express the sentiments of Colonel 1 largnn us he makes no com ment on them. Without in the least meaning to be complimentary, we take the liberty of suggesting that the editor of the Freeman is abund antly able to write his own editorials on the subject bf communism or any thing else that hupi>eiis to be iu his mind at the time; as while every one recognizes his ability, but at the same time is i»erfectly aware of the fact that he is a kind of political comet that wanders around in the illimita ble regions of space, without* any fixed orbit or definite purpose, unless his restless wanderings to and fro have some object in view lieyond the pen of mortal vision. A writer in the Oconee News, who is evidently an advocate of the Ocala demands, makes a comparison w hich is so evidently unfair as to only need attention called to it to demonstrate his utter ignorance of what he is writing altout. In trying to prove that the farmers have great cause for dissatisfaction with the present condi tion of things, he goes back to the year 1824, when, owing to-the ex tremely short crop, cotton went up to 14 cents, and then quotes the prices of bacon, corn, lard and sugar, at tempting to show that one bale of cotton would, at that time, purchase just double the amount of these pro visions that it would now, owing to the difference in the price. Unfor innately for the comparison, it may be asserted that at that time there was not one farmer in a hundred that ever bought a pound of meat or a bushel of corn, but that most of the articles that they did have to buy cost a great deal more than at the present time. Then too it is very certain that when cotton reached 14 cents the crop, owing to bad seasons, must have been veyy short, and the planters probably did not realize any more from its sale than they would have received for an ordinary crop, sold at an average price. Except provisions, which except sugar and coffee, they did not buy almost every' thing was worth a great deal more than at the present time, and the small farmer of that day did not live near so comfortably as those of the present time. Another fact neglected by this writer Was testate that some times cotton Went down very low and sometimes Would only bring 31 or 4 cents per pound. The price of meat and corn snould not beof any special interest to the farmer, for if he would raise these two prime neces saries himself, instead of giving a lien on his crop to purchase them he would never feel any scarcity of money, for the large amount paid out each year for meat and corn would just make the difference between comparative ease in money matters and the scarcity that only exists through his own short-sightedness and refusal to learn wisdom from ex* periettet, ' ' "» w Ufie t» Money stringent). Adjutant General Moorman, by order of Commanding General Gordon, has issued a general order postponing nntil September 16th and 16th the grand Confederate reunion of unveiling at Birmingham, Ala., which was to have taken place on the 19th and 20th of July. This step was in response to an almost univer sal request on account of the finan cial situation, aud the feet of its being harvest time in some sections.
