^attira at? Srar^rint I WEDNESDAY, JULY 29,1896. For Bryan and Silver. I - i I Atlanta Daily Opinion. (Negro Organ.) When it comes to the financial ? question involved ia the national j campign the uegroes must un- 1 .questionably be with the Democratic party on silver, for there are no peo? ple that feel more keenly the need of a change than the negro of the south, j and we can go further, with safety, ! and truthfully say the whole people j of the country need a change for the I better. And nothing promises to j bring about this change quicker than j the free and unlimited coinage of sil? ver at a ratio of 16 to 1. While we do not advocate the placing of an inferior metal as the standard over that of its superior, we do claim that the government is able to circulate a money with equal debt-paying and purchasing power. The negroes of the south naturally have a kind feeling for the white people of the south, planted, grown and cultivated by a constant ming ling from childhood, and signs . of the same feeling is io evidence on the part of the whites whe they will have none around them in their homes and most trusted quarters (where the negroe'8 ability will allow), but the negro. Even in politics the most sacred thing on earth to a negro, through hostility between the north and the southern whites, they ob? tained their freedom. They have been inclined to follow the Demo eratic party, and there are some true to the principles of Democracy, but the last (Cleveland's) administration has left them in such muddled and mixed condition that they are guess? ing now, and it will require some good work on the part of the Demo? cratic leaders to convince them that if Mr. Bryan is elected he will res? pect those who support him and the party, as in Mr. Cleveland's admin? istration. The negroes that contribu? ted their money and time, day and night, to villify and abuse him, had recognition and appointment to such offices as the whole people would agree that should be filled by negroes But such negroes as stumped for Democracy's success, contributed money to the national committee, voted three times for him, and all of their lives for the Democratic party, received no more recognition than an ordinary dog, with the abuse heaped upon a Democratic negro. There are some who are Democrats from principle and not for spoils of office. The Daily Opinion, the only negro daily known in this country, is for Bryan for President and the free coinage of silver. A Sweeping Reduction. ATLANTA, July 23 -After Mr. St John's reply was read, the executive board appointed a committee of nine to formulate a policy and report. The committee was in session for nearly four hours. It finally recommended a sweepiog ca? of 80 per cent on ail class? es of freight from eastern points to Atlanta, except on grain, wheat flour, j meal and hay. This will reduce the rate on first class freight, such as boots and shoes, from ?1.14 per 100 to 25 cents. All lines are to charge full lo? cal beyond Atlanta. Intermediate points such as Macon, Augusta and Columbia are to have a combination rate based on Atlanta. The Seaboard or the mer chaofs of such cities will promptly ask the courts to interfere and prohibit a greater charge for a short haul than for a long haul." All rates throughout the south are bound to come down very soon and rates from the Ohio river gateways must be dropped too. The war will cost al! the railroads and steamship lines of the South heavily. Mr St. Jotm would not say wbat the Seaboard will do, but it is understood that it will meet this cut and go it a little better. The Gold Reserve Intact. WASHINGTON, July 23.-The treas-1 ury began paying out to-day over the ] counter the new designed ?1 silver j certificate. The treasury gold reserve, through the action of the New York national banks, became intact again to-day, the reserve standing at the close of; business at $101,881.770. This re-j suit was attained by the New York banks d?positing ?15,250,000 in gold and receiving therefor a like sum lu legal tender notes, which are redeem able ia gold on presentation to the : treasury. The day's withdrawals' were $230,400, all of which was taken for hoarding purposes. -, . ? -- Marvelon? Result*. From a letter written by Kev. J. Gunderman, j of Diuaondale, Mich., we are permitted to make j this extract : 'I have no hesitation in recom- i ? mending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the re. suits were almost marvelous in the '-ase of my ? wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist j Church at Rives Junction she was brought j down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. ; Terribie paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption ?:?:<1 it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. King s New Discovery ; it was ouick in its work and highly satisfactory j in results." Trial bottles free at J- F. W De- , Lorine * Drug Store.

On corn lands the yield increases and the soil improves if properly treated with fer tilizers containing not under 7% actual Potash. A trial of this plan costs but little and is sure to lead to profitable culture.
