Subject to Republican District Con? vention. Hypocrites are aa plentiful to day as they were during the time of Christ. Rsv. Dr W. W. LsVVDsmf, tue bril? liant Baptist divine hat entered upon his duties at Atlanta, tia. Our white friends should aid us in all laudable efforts to improve our condition. Colored men, let us not spend all we make. We should save some of our earnings, even though it average? a penny a day. President Cleveland has announc? ed his opposition to Bryan and Skwall to the extent of endorsing Palmer nnd Buckner. Whenever the Recorder gets tn trouble at home, it growls at the Plan? et with the evident expectation of finding relief. One would imagine it bad an attack of the jim-jams or wind colic. Judge Waddill of this district has made the mistake of thinking himself and the National Republican ticket one and the sams, by presuming that when the people oppose him, they op? pose the ticket. Nothing could be further from truth. Bryan was opposed to 0"Fbrrall, when he was a candidate for the Gov? ernorship as against a Populist. Now O'Fbrball is opposed to Bryan when he is a candidate for the presidency as against the true Democracy. If Bry? an is consistent, ho has no cause for complaint. Bryan's tour through the country may make for him some votes, but il drives away from him a great many more. Every city, as which he fails to stor and make a speech feels slighted, and it is liable to act in accordance with that feeling. Gov. O'Ferrall declined to permit the firing of a salute from the capito grounds in honor of the arrival of 11 or William J. Bryan, the Popocratii nominee for the presidency of th* United States In this he was right It would have been carrying partisan ry too far whether the person to b< honored was a Republican, Democra or member of some o'her patty. The Colored Ambrh-\n announce! that Hon. John M. L uaosTOV has beer appointed a member of the Advisor] Committee of the National Republicai Committee. This is gratifying newi and Mr. Langston will have an oppor tunity of being of service not only t< his party, but to the people who hav< so loyslly stood by the organization. The appointment of Rev. Ernes Lyon, D. D , as advisory committee man by Hon. M. A. Hanna has givei more general satisfaction to our peo pie than anyothtr act of this distin guished gentleman. Rev. Lyon seems to have understood the situation snd is exerting his influ? ence in the interest of those whom he represents by showing them and the Republican managers the best u ny Um services of the American citizen of Af? rican descent can be utilized. ui Rbcosder is again meddling in affairs of other people in other dis ts while failing to attend to its own HraSt, he editor of this journsl needs ie of its advice snd cares leas for ita ?lotta. Wi bose never attempted lictate to the people of the Sc ?triet hs to what course they should rsue, and have never proven our nsubordinate enough or as die al as SO advocate the utter defiance the mandate oT the National Repub an Committee by refusing to sup rt the nominee which it had endors as the Recorder is now doing ? old remember that "no man is big that he can afford SO put him lf Id the way of success of a great rty like the Republican party " We are at a loss to understand how ir white friends eau iail to see the JOS*to* Ol providing *i reformatory r white boys and none for the col red ones.

The news that Gov. O'Fk.rrall ffould oppose William J. Bryan, the lopulist-democratic nominee has been gently broken to its readers by the liichmond DisrAToit . This is very painful information since that journal seems to have fore very earaful ol ths feelings nf our Chief Executive There is one characteristic of Gov. O'Ferrall. he bot opinions of hi and dare to express them. Ile leads, rather 'han to be led and in every question presented to the country, he is outspoken and emphatic in expressing his views when called upon so to do. His nooroo means a loss of thous? ands of votes to Oie Bryan and Skwali ticket.

Francis Casey, jun6-18t. St. Louis, Mo. THE WOULD *HY SllVER DOLLARS ARE AS GOOD AS GOLD ONES. How ts it that a ai Ivor dollar, which poaaeasM nly about SS cunts' worth of commercial val ba mala tallied at a parity with the 'larr Hw is it that I can bay as much n<>w with r dollar sm I can with a geld dollar? Why won't silver dollars be Jns? an sood un L??r frcv coinage as they an> nowT Thone are samples of tho inquiries hat men are asking all over the ooun tv, and these and similar queries have xmrrd in upon Secretary Carlisle in inch quantities that he has deemed it tdvisable to answer them by means of M oi*u lotter, which contains a clo;ir, frank and convincing explanation of :his matter. Sunimed up in a single word, it may r>o said that FAITH is at the basis of tho grovcm mont's ability to maintain each >t the silver dollars on a par with gold. The people have faith that each silver dollar issued by tho government will purchase exactly as mach as a gold dol? lar will. Remove that faith, destroy that confidence, upset that belief, and tho government, strong and powerful as it is. will find itself unable to maintain tho parity between the silver and tho gold dollar, with tho inevitable result that the silver dollar will sink to its commercial value of about fi3 cents, while, on the principle that a poor dollar drives ont a good one. the gold dollar will disappear entirely from circulation. The tropic of this country have freely received silver dollars because tho faith, the honor and tho integrity of the na? tion aro pledged to keep the silver dollar on sn equality with the gold dollar. For this reason the silver dollar, in spite of its commercial shrinkage, has been readily accepted at its faro value bj- the p. opie But if any doubt arises faa tho public mind as to tho govern? ment's nbility to keep its pledge, there is at once a sudden withdrawul of gold from circulation either by foreign crcd r hy donn st io hoarders. Such & condition was created in 1K93 and was responsible for the panic of that year, which was farther duo to the additional fact that tho government WOJ issuing too many silver dollars under the Bland law, and too many paper dollars in pay? ment fnr silver bars under tho Sherman law. Congress was Obliged, therefore, to stop the issue of this money. But al? ia arly $000,000,000 in silver dol? lars and silver notes had been created, and the government naturally found eonsid orahlo trouble in keeping this mass ol together with $840,000,000 in gu en backs, on a parity with gold. As s result it was obliged at times to pur? chase gold to hosp up tho equality by the issue of bonds. Now, if the government has had so much difficulty in keeping its silver ami gold dollars exchangeable, with a com? paratively limited issue of silver dollars and notes, how can it possibly hope to maintain tins parity win n our mints aro OpOO to all the silver of all tho world, when the citizen of any nation on tho globe eau come to our mints and havo .">:{ nuts' worth of silver metal coined into a silver dollar? The government would no longer bo able to redeem its obligations in gold, because, a point would soon be reached where it would be impossible to exchange gold for silver dollars and their paper representatives, the parity between tho gold and silver dollars would soon be removed, the equality in tbs exchangeable value of the coins would be destroyed, aud the coun? try would descend to a silver basis, with ?nit that a silver dollar would bc worth its commercial value aud nothing more. This commercial value now amount* to about 58 cents, and, reckoning on that basis, tbs enactment of a law for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 would be a violation of tho explicit obligations of the nation, which by an act of congress has de? clared it to be "the established policy of tho United States to maintain thc two metals on a parity with each other. " It would be a confession that the people had lost faith in the ability aud integ? rity of the government to redeem its promises. It would be "a violation ol the implied and expressed pledges ot the faith of which tho people have ac cepted hundreds of millions of these sil ver dollars in payment for goods one services at their full gold value. Ji would be a wholesale repudiation on th< part of the government against its owi citizens, and the dollars, being full lega tender, would compel all debtors to re pudiate half their obligations, ont dowt pensions, wages, salaries, savings bani deposits and insurance policies one-half, and whelm the whole country in disas ter." These are, in brief, some of the rea sons why the silver dollar today passei equal and current with its gold com pauion, and why the silver dollar wil sink to its own intrinsic valne if ou: mints are opened to the free and unlim ited coinage of silver. A tricky dollar never yet made an: nation prosperous nor added anythiuj to tho real wealth of its people.
