The question of stopping the fur-
tlier coinage of silver has come to be
one of the most exciting jiolitical
questions before congress. We print
to-day tin excellent synopsis of the
speech of Senator Joseph E. Brown
in favor of silver. It lias received
very high commendation in the press
of the country'.
We print in this issue an interest
ing Letter, written by our old friend
and correspondent, R. M. Orine, lisq.,
of Savannah, to the Hartford Times.
It embraces valuable statistical infor
mation concerning the rapid progress
of the South in several important
branches of manufacturing and other
productive enterprises, and gives we
think a fair statement of the state of
public sentiment and feeling touching
immigration of Northern men of capi
tal and enterprise to this section of the
Union. No doubt this communica
tion and others like it published in
Northern journals of good character
and circulation, will have an excellent
elfect. both in conveying valuable in
formation to our Northern fellow citi-
izens and in suggesting to them open
ings for business enterprises here,
which if carried into effect, would be
greatly beneficial to the people of
both sections of our common country.
We are glad to see that lie ealied at
tention to the splendid water power
so available for large manufacturing
purposes which exist in our immediate
vicinity.
The Silver Coinage Question.
Some three weeks since, we made
allusion to the interesting question of
the coinage of silver, and frankly ac
knowledged that it was a subject to
which we had paid but little atten
tion. In the few remarks we made
we alluded to a law which required
that all duties on imported goods
shall be paid in coin. That law made
no distinction between silver or gold
coin. That law, has not been enfor
ced so far as silver is concerned. It
would seem that the law has not been
obeyed. Whether a good or bad law,
much of the eY'il which has originated
has grown out of the refusal of our
treasury officials to obey the law. The
law put both silver and gold on an
absolute equality before the law and
the evils now complained of have
grown out of the refusal to comply
with the requirements of the law.—
We can conceive of no good reason
for refusing to demand silver and re
quire gold alone. Of course this was
calculated to depress silver and ad
vance the value of gold; especially,
when foreign countries such as France,
Germany, Austria and others, are
closed against our cattle, hogs, and
other food products with but little
prospect of a change. Of course our
great industrial interests suffer by
this state of monetary affairs and es
pecially as France, England and Ger
many use large quantities of silver
coin with decided advantage, while
ours is cast oi’erboard in the interest
of the holders of gold. In England,
the Yvorkers for Yvages receive their
pay in silver. The same is true in
France. Neither of those countries
propose to stop the payment in silver,
because they know that to do so,
their workmen Yvould be more poorly
paid. Those European countries
keep up the two currencies, gold and
silver. In 1884 the Yvorld production
of gold was, 195,292,569; of silver, $115,-
147,878; and $99,292,569 of gold Yvas
coined, while the coinage of silver
was $90,039,443. England, France,
and Germany are coining silver eY’ery
year and find a use for it all the
time. They are not proposing to
stop the coinage of silver; and it
would be absurd for them to do so
Yvhen they find a use for all. A silver
dollar may be a little less in Y’alue
than it gold dollar, but passes there as
it does here, for a hundred cents, and
as here, will purchase as much as a
gold dollar. In great operations in
exchanges, the silver dollar Yvill be
less than the gold; in ordinary trans
actions, as w*e all see and know, the
silver dollar will go as far as the gold
dollar. All is needed. All the gold
and ail the sih’er, and there is no dan
ger of coining too much of either.
A coinage noYv, of two hundred mill
ions of siK'er dollars for distribution
among the people would be hailed
with delight at a reasonable per cent.
Lost wealth may be replaced by in
dustry, lost knowledge by study, lost
health by medicine ; but lost time is
gone forev'er.
Some people Yvaste much Y’aluable
time in waiting and hunting for bet
ter positions aud more profitable em
ployment. To such, we say, work
earnestly in the position yon now j
hold and thereby Yvin your way to :
those that are better.
The New York Journal of Com-
i rnerce, in a late issue, says: “Members :
! of the Cotton Exchange and others |
Yvere greatly shocked yesterday by
j news to the effect that Mr. James A.
Beall, a member of the exchange
| and of the firm of J. & W. A. Beall &
; Co., cotton merchants of long stand-
1 ing and high repute in this city, had
committed suicide in Georgia, where
he was staying ob a large plantation
descended to the members of the firm
from their father. The deceased gen
tleman was highly esteemed, and no
cause, unless it was temporary aber
ration of mind, can be conjectured
which can ha\'e induced the commis
sion of the suicidal act.”
A Terrible Calamity.—A fire
damp explosion occurred at Aling,
j W. T., on the 16th. by which thirteen
miners were killed. It occurred at
night. If it had been in the day, hun
dreds would have been instantaneous
ly killed. Some of the bodies of the
workman were hurled through the
air. A train of thirteen cars going
down into the mine were broken into
fragments and several passengers
Yvere instantaneously terribly mutila
ted. One of the bodies Yvas blown
700 feet from the mouth of the slope.
Great injury was done to property in
the neighborhood. All of the victims
were Mormons, save two, and mar
ried, leaving large families.
"Good morning Mr. Smith, a very
pleasant morning it is, too."
"It may be pleasant enough for some
folks, but I tell you Brown, I can’t
| feel pleasant when so many people
: are trying to ruin my business. You^
i know Mr. Brown, that I have always
been an honest liquor seller. I never
; sold liquor to minors, or t« any one
1 who Yvas Y'ery drunk. I have kept a
decent bar. and haY'e given away
hundreds of drinks to poor fellows
who had no money and looked as if
they would die if they did not get it.
In such cases I only give a little just
to brace them up, but they would
manage somehow to get money and
come baek and get too much, and
then 1 would have to taper them off
again.’’
“Weli now, Mr. Smith, I have listen
ed patiently to your complaint, I ask
you iu return to listen to mine. I,
too, am a hard working business man,
1 have a son who Yvas once as bright
and promising a lad as the town af
forded. I need not tell you that he
was the pride of my life, and that he
was all the world to his mother. I
worked hard to give him opportuni
ties, he too was industrious and made
small sums of money to spend for
himself. 1 was obliged to trust him
around town alone, I was confined
closely to inv business.
“One day when lie was counting his
money on the street he was observed
by one of your customers, whom you
were tapering off, and who felt that
if he did not get a good big drink he
would die. ‘Why Willie, is this you,
why bless my soul, I never saw a boy
grow so fast in all my life, such a fine
looking lad too, will soon be a man.’
Thus ilattered, my poor boy was fi
nally induced to furnish the money
and go partners in a flask of whiskey,
which, to make it acceptable to his
unaccustomed palate, was reduced
and sweetened. Pretty soon after
this lie was met by one of your Gen
tlemen customers, who happened to
be a little short of change that 4ay.
He too flattered him, calling him a
handsome young man, and’ stated
that he Yvould not mind taking some
thing with him. My poor boy pro
tested that lie could not go to a bar,
‘nor I either to a common bar, bat you
can’t object to go to Smith’s he keeps
a fine bar, a perfect palace, you ought
to see it. Just hand me the ehange if
you want to treat me. Smith is aw
ful particular aud will not sell it to
any one under age.’ The next thing
I knew my boy had broken the peace,
and I had to pay a heavy fine, this
was repeated time and again. The
result is my dear child is ruined, a
hopeless drunkard. My wife’s health
has failed from grief, and she is a
hopeless invalid. For this reason,
aud reasons like this, I am determined
to do all I can to break op the salfltof
liquor. It is too late for my poor boy,
but not for thousands of others.
Compare my account with yours
and judge for yourself, Yvho is the in
jured ; tarty.’’ Hope.
Death of Miss Kate Bayard.
She was to be present at Miss Cleve
land’s reception. Everything was in
readiness at the White House. Many
callers had arrived and the Marine
Band had taken their places in the
main Y'estibule, and were awaiting or
ders for opening the reception. Miss
Bayard's delay was commented on as
singular, Mr." Bayard’s private Sec
retary, Henry Bryan, arrived, and
asked for Col. Lamont. The fact of
Miss Bayard’s death was immediately
made known to the President, who
Yvas greatly shocked at such afflleting
intelligence, as were the ladies, at this
sudden death of their friend. Orders
were given to close the White House ;
the hand was dismissed, and the peo
ple who had arrived immediately
withdrew. The news soon spread and
there was universal sorrow and re
gret. .She had taxed herself the pre
vious night to entertain the guests at
her father’s house. She had retired
at 1 o'cloek on the night of the recep
tion at iter father’s, and reqaested to
be left undisturbed the next day, till
noon. Between one and two o’clock
iter younger sisterattempted to awak
en her, and struck by her appearance,
called for assistance." Physicians were
immediately called in, and used pow
erful restoratives, including electrici
ty, but all in Y-ain. The physicians
expressed the Opinion that she had
been dead for several hours, when the
attempt Yvas made to awaken her.
The immediate cause of her death was
disease of tiie heart. She had been
treated for that disease by physicians,
occasionally, for several years. The
interment will take place on Tuesday,
ar Wilmington, where Secretary Bay
ard's parents are entombed.
We make up this brief statement
from tlie special to the Augusta
Chronicle.
There are certain liniments which
will deaden pain, but it soon returns.
Mt. .Jacobs' oil goes to the roots of the
malady, and the sufferer is perma
nently" cured. Fifty cents.
How Six Went Into $75,000 Once.
< >m -fifth of ticket No. 46,799, which
drew the Capital Prize of $73,000, in
the Lousiana State Lottery, Novem
ber loth, was held in Traverse City.
Six persons sent together for fifths of
tickets. When they came each took
one, and that held by Mr. Joseph

Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington, Jan. 18, 1886.
The proceedings of the week on
Capitol Hill have been Y'aried, inter
esting, and fraught with results in the
lower branch of Congress. The Sen
ate did little else in open session than
listen to endless irreleY'ant talk on the
Silver question, irreleY'ant, because
no financial measure was formally
presented to that body until to-day.
Six Senators made long set speeches
in advocacy of continued coinage, an
other crowded in an oration in behalf
of National Monuments to Lincoln
and Grant, and another expended elo
quence on the subject of our army.
In its daily secret sessions the Senate
has had before it the President’s nom
inations, hundreds of which ltai'e been
confirmed.
No cause of complaint has been
found against the nominees them
selves in regard to their honesty, fit
ness, and efficiency, and the Republi
can Senators, in lieu of any such
grievance, liai'e been discussing in
caucus the question of disciplining the
President on the subject of tenure of
office. Unable to express themselves
freely en this subject in Executive
session without exposing tlieir plans
to the opposition, the leaders of the
Republican majority quietly conveyed
the news to their associates that they
must agree to a motion adjourning
over from last Thursday to Monday,
in order that a caucus might be held
on an important subject. Of course
the Democrats did not know what Yvas
brewing, and the proposed motion
was carried.
In this caucus, the President’s poll
ey was the subject of debate, and the
more pronounced disciplinarians, such
as Logan, Hoar, Conger, and Morrill,
advocated reining up the President
to compel him to state to tho Senate
his reasons for removing one set of
officials to make room for others of
his own partj'. Some of the more
fairminded Senators held that it
would be going too far to ask of
the President an explanation of his
right to select his own friends to fill
the offices for which his party had
fought so hard, and that he was only
doing what a Republican President
would do, if one were in the White
House. This kind of argument was
Y'ery distasteful to the Republican
managers, and they proceeded to dis
cipline their obstinate brethren in
a caustic way that won them over, or
at least compelled them to submis
sion.
While a variety* of opinions Yvere
expressed with regard to the propriety
of a formal issue Yvith the Administra
tion at present upon this question, a
majority Yvere disposed to say that
should the information sought not be
forthcoming ultimately', the Republi
cans in the Senate will take some for
mal action to secure it, or an aY*o\ral
from Mr. Cleveland that he will not
give his reasons for making removals.
There are many Republicans in the
House of Representatives who would
like to see all the Republican office
holders discharged indiscriminately*.
Their reason for this is that their par
ty machinery* is being disorganized by
the present state of affairs. Many of
their party workers received appoint
ments to office as rewards for party
serY'ice, and as long as they retain
their places under the present Admin
istration, tlieir hands are tied in a
way to make them useless for party
work.
Among Other bills to abolish the
Civil 8er\'ice law that lia\-e been in
troduced in the House was one by
Representath'e Seney*, of Ohio. No
such bill can pass the Senate while the
Republicans haY'e control of it. They
affect deY’otion to civil service reform
and the the so-called spirit of it, and
will continue to do so as long as the
act can be made useful in keeping
Democrats out of office and in bother
ing the Democratic party. Then
again there are many shrewd Demo
crats in both branches of Congress,
who Yvould deem it unwise to repeal
the Civil Service law and who see
good politics in letting it stand as it
is, though, of course, the question will
be agitated like that of silver ail
through the session.
The House of Representatives was
eommendably industrious in disposing
of tiie Presidential Succession bill,
which has passed Yvithout change,
just as it came from the Senate. Un
der its proY'isions the line of succession
is taken from Congress and lodged in
the Cabinet. Only the President’s
signature is lack ing to make it a law,
and then Mr. Bayard aud not Mr.
Sherman will be Vice President of
the United States.
A startling Y'isitation of death has
just darkened the home of the Secre
tary of State, and the genial, graceful,
homelike hospitality characteristic of
the Bayard Mansion, will be hidden
under the shadows of bereaY’ement
for the remainder of the season. Miss
Catherine Bayard, tiie eldest daught
er of the Secretary, died suddenly on
Saturday*afternoon of heart disease.

Athens Correspondence.
Prohibition.—The Old Washing
ton Hall.—Reminiscences.—
Is Life Worth Living?
Athens, Ga.. Jan. 20, 1886.
Mr. Editor : 1 congratulate you
and the people of old Baldwin coun
ty (the county Yvhere so large a part
of my earlier life was spent,) upon the
flue beginning you have made of a
Prohibition Campaign. Especially*
does your editorial of the 19th inst.,
on the Prohibition question, meet
with my warmest approval. You
have struck just the right key; no
denunciation either of liquor sellers
or of anti-Prohibitionists. Many of
them are honest, honorable men. Let
the whole force of the denunciation
fall upon liquor itself, pure or impure,
and upon the mammoth calamities
that flow from its salt). These are ter
ribly abundant and do not Heed to be
reinforced as arguments, by* denounc
ing men in the business or favoring it.
You suggest in your editorial the very
plan upon which the Prohibition cam
paign was conducted so successfully in
Clarke county, in the spring of last
year.
On the other hand, there is reason
to believe that anti-Proliibition lias
triumphed in a fexv counties in Geor
gia, because of tho fierce personal de
nunciation indulged in by the ardent
friends of Prohibition. A great deal
Yvill depend upon the Executive Com
mittee that you have appointed, and
upon the response to their requests.
All the speaking talent, white and col
ored, on th« Prohibition side in tiie
county, ought to he in readiness to
respond to the call of the committee
for men to make Prohibition address
es all OY*er the county, by* appoint
ment of the committee. Our Clarke
county experience was, that it iva s
best to send by* previous appointment,
two or three speakers at. !eaG to every
point Yvhere a crowd of Y'oters, white
or colored, could be gathered. Do
you ask, is Prohibition a success iu
Clarke county? Yes, more of a suc
cess than is the penal code of Geor
gia. Prohibition does not extinguish
entirely the drinking of liquor ; nor
demsthe penal code entirely extinguish
crime, but it greatly lessens the evil.
We bid y*ou God speed in the good
work in old Baldwin.
And so tiie old Washington Hall
has vanished in smoke and flame! In
the long ago I now and then enjoyed
the hospitality of our old and honor
able friend, Col Barnett, within its
walls. At one time a portion of the
Hall was occupied by our aged frienfi,
Bro. Darnell, then in feeble health
and confined to his bed. He had
many friends, very deservedly. Some
of them Yvere wealthy and Y’ery kind
in calling to see him. He said to one
of them one day, I believe that I, in
prostrate health and without Yvealth
am far happier in my religion, than
all my rich friends are, in their wealth
and health. There is so much wrong
in wealth—so many things go wrong,.
&c. I am happy said h<4 as tiie days
are long; looking forward through
grace in Christ “to the sweet by and
by.” His testimony was added to
that of thousands and ten of thous
ands who, like him without health
and without wealth, and who, like
the Apostle Paul Yvithout a household
around him to brighten his days, yet
found a true and rich and glad life
full of benediction to others here, and
opening out into a splendid and end
less hereafter. Whilst a Christless
life is a sad and eternal failure a
life illuminated by the cross, whether
bright with prosperity or dark with
adversity, abounds in joys that are
the rich heritage of the believer, and
is worth living indeed. Peace to the
ashes of the Y'enerable old father of
Israel, who once lived in the vanish
ed Washington Hall; and a blessingon
the Old Caifital—and all the people of
Baldwin county.

Senator Brown’s Views on the Silver
Question.
Mr. John F. Armstrong, of Augusta,
goes to attend the great Irish Conven
tion to meet in Chyjago, and from
there, he goes to the old country to
visit liis father and mother, and in
form himself more fully of the true
condition of Irish affair*. On Friday,
some of his warm friends and admir
ers called at his home on Broad street,
to express their esteem and regard,
preY'ious to his departure for his native
land. They deli\'ere<l to him through
Mr. E. G. O’Conner, and American
gold-headed cane, to be “presented to
Mr. Francis Armstrong, by Irish Na
tionalists of Augusta, Ga., U. S. A.,
who appreciate his son John’s efforts
in behalf of his native land. Slav you
live to see our fondest hopes realized—

Mr. Armstrong very appropriately
and feelingly expressed his gratifica
tion at tiie compliment paid him.

Mr. Armstrong to convey to his moth

with a large gold eross attached, on
which was inscribed :

good fortune to hear it. No one

ting terms than the eloquent gentle
man who was the bearer of tiie beau
tiful presents to his mother and fath

red to, the report says: Historical and
patriotic speeches, rich with Irish
humor and oratory, were delivered
by Hon. P. Walsh, Mr. A. J. Goulev,
and others. We regret that our
crowded columns prevent a full report
of the proceedings. It was an occa
sion of tender sentiment, and glorious
devotion to old Ireland in her heroic
efforts to plant freedom upon tiie
ruins of despotic rule. May God in
his Omnipotent power, grant her a
victorious and permanent triumph.

cents.
The chains of habit are generally
Mr. Brown called up Mr. Beck's
silver resolution and addressed the
Senate on it. It would be unwise, he
said, and unjust to the people to sus
pend the coinage of silver at present.
So far as tiie bondholders were con
cerned, the medium in which they
were to be paid had not been left in
doubt, but had been nominated in
the bond. They were to be paid in
in lawful money of the United States.
At tiie time of the contract green
backs yh ere lawful money of the
United States and almost" the only
currency. The bondholders, however,
many of whom had paid in silver only
40 or"50 cents on the dollar for their
bonds, Yvent systematically to work
to increase the Y*alue of their demands
against the government. They used
the columns of influential netvspapers
and the brains of influential men and
secured the passage of the act of 1869,
changing the contract and making
the bonds payable in coin without
giving fer that change any new con
sideration. Coin meant gold or eilt'er.
But not yet satisfied, they soon hail
the pleasure of seeing the refunding
act of 1870 passed which prescribed
that new bonds should be paid in
coin of the then standard value—the
same standard as that of to-day. It
would he naturally supposed, Mr.
Brown continued, that this system of
changing the contract from time to
time, making it each time more Y’al-
uahle to the creditor, had been carried
fur enough and the people would not
be asked to do more than pay in gold
or silver coin an original greenback
debt worth forty cents on the dollar.
But not content even then, the next
step was to remonetize Sih'er ; for if
silver couhi be permanently demone
tized there would be effected a re
duction of the quantity of coin with
which under the contract debts were
to be paid, and the value of gold coin,
the only coin left, Yvould be greatly
increased. After the demonetizing act
had been passed, however, the people
felt that they had been wronged and
sent Representatives to Congress to
repeal it and to proY'ide for a reason
able amount of annual silver coinage.
Since that time the creditor cla«s had
failed to influence Congress, but it
had been fortunate enough to contin
ue to receive payment in gold alone.
Those men had been receiving gold
alone, while the other creditors of the
United States had to take silver or
greenbacks. Tiie result was that the
bonds had steadily adi anced till they
now Yvere worth 120 to 124. But the
cry still was that the bondholders
should be dealt liberally with, and
that tuxes must be increased in order
to pay them better currency than
other people so us to “keep up the
credit of the United States.” When
the 3 per cent, bond was at par, Mr.
Brown did not care to tax people to
put the credit any higher. The offi
cers of the treasury, he said, should
treat all public creditors alike. If
they paid the bondholders in gold
aJone, they should pay the laborer in
gold.
As to the accumulation of silver
dollars in the treasury, Mr. Brown in
sisted that it was the duty of the
Secretary of the Treasury to
pav them out to public credi
tors whenever anything was
due, and if that did not dispose of
them, he should call in enough bonds
on which the people are paying in
terest to absorb the silver dollars, and
so stop interest payment. If public
creditors were paid thirty or forty
millions of silver, their endeavors
would be to keep up the Y alue of sil
ver. If paid in gold only their endea
vors Yvould bo to depreciate the Y-alue
of silver to make it represent less
property. If itwere said that it was
not honest to pay them in silver, on
the ground that the silver dollar was
not an honest dollar, Mr. Brown
would reply that it Yvas always hones
to pay a debt in the very currency
which"the creditor, by his contract,
had agreed to take. Creditors had
secured several successful changes in
the contract, and the contract as it
now stood was that bondholders
should be paid in gold dollars or silver
dollars at tiie convenience of the
treasury. Though they had thus
agreed "to take payment in either gold
or silver, they Yvere being p§dd in gold
alone while everybody else was paid
in silver. This Yvas neither fair deal
ing nor common honesty.
Ever since the passage of the act of
1878, remonetizing silver and directing
the coinage of two million dollars per
month, bondholders and bankers had
been threatening that all our gold
would be exported if we did not stop
tho coinage of silver. It was now
eight years since the passage of that
act, aiul still, according to the report
of the Secretary of the Treasury, we
liad twice ns much gold coin as silver
coin in the country ; that almost ev
ery year we had imported more gold
than vre had exported. France and
Germany had three times as much le
gal tender in silver coin as we had, yet
our country Yvas several times larger
than those countries combined, while
our population ivas more energetic
and enterprising than that of any oth
er country in the Yvorld. We had with
in the past five or six years, exported
$500,000,000 worth of merchandize
more titan we had imported. Those
figures represented tiie sum of money
which foreign nations had paid us
over ami above the exchange of com
merce. Inasmuch as gold was the me
dium of settlement between Europe
and America, we would receive gold
for our European balances. As to our
commerce Yvith China in tea, and with
Brazil and Cuba in coffee and sugar,
the balance of trade was against us ;
but those were silver countries and
would take our sih’er in settlement.
Mr. Brown advocated the issuance of
silver certificates to represent the sil
ver in the treasury. Every surplus
gold and silver dollar, he "said, not
part of the necessary treasury reserve
should be put into circulation by gold
or silver certificates. Instead of hav
ing too much sih’er coin, business
Yvould be improved if Yve had more of
it in circulation in the form of paper
certificates.
To meet the demands of our com
merce and groYving business, we conld
safely carry four hundred millions
more" silver, and then we would have
less legal tender sih’er than France
and Germany together, and ®nly
little more than France alone. “If
the national banks attempt to remon
etize sih'er,” said Mr. Brown, in con
clusion, “ and if the officers who rep
resent the people in the different de
partments of the government will not
take the matter in hand, then_ the
people, at the recurring elections,
should take it in hand and fill ah de
partments of the government witn
men ivho Yvill apply a corrective ana
[ forfeit the charters" of &uch banks as
J abuse their privileges."

QBOROIA—HER RESOURCES.
Correspondence of The Hartford Times.
SAVANNAH, Ga., January 4, 1886,
Thinking that perhaps some of your
readers Yvould like to hear something
from this part of the national vine
yard, and especially from the “Em
pire State of the South,” I drop you
a short communication. Many of our
people are wild on the immigration
idea, and desire to see our southern
country filled with foreigners. I take
issue on that idea, and only ask for
northern capital to come in among
us with its practical ideas and help
us develop unlimited and Yvonderfal
resources.
We are conscious of our great re
sources, we knoYV our Yvealth in our
productions, soil and mines. We are
conscious that we have within our
selves all the resources a people
could desire. We are not ignorant or
indifferent: far from it. But with our
soil and productions, land aud na-
groes as slaves in the past, Yve had
bat one idea. We Yvere content to
make cotton, and let the frozen north
spin it into cloth. Wq Ywre content
with a reeiprocal trade, and not an
identity and clash of interests.
But free negroes lia\’e changed the
current of our thoughts; not from
choice, but necessity; and we must
now turn producer, manufacturer
and exporter. We can do all three
successfully, and it is only a question
of time. Your writer would to-day
have been a cotton-planter, had he
his slaves; but free negroes do not
suit liis taste on a plantation. As
richer grew the South in sla\*es, rich
er grew New England cotton factories.
Don't you see the point in political
economy?
To-day we are your rivals and com
petitors. What money we make
must be put into something else be
sides lands and negroes. To give you
an idea, or your readers, at least, see
what we are doing in tho South.
The South is gaining alike in agricul
ture and in manufactures; but we
want more aid and northern capital,
We want to leap and run; not walk or
crawl. And we invite you, we hold
out inducements to you; we will cor
dially welcome you if you come among
us to build up the South, and your
selves grow rich.
In 1880 we had 713.989 spindles and
11,222 looms; we now have 1,400,697
spindles and 27,004 looms. Instead of
180 cotton mills, we have 353. In 1880
we had 40 cotton seed oil mills; yvo
now havo 146, having a capital of
$10,792,450. In 1880 we mined 6,048,-
571 tons of coal. In 1885 the out put
of southern mines was 10,844,051 tons.
In all parts of the soutii smail indus
tries are springing up, and we want
some of tiie practical ideas of the
New Englander to help us out and go
in with us. All branches of manufac
tures taken together, have risen in
assessed valoes from $313,924,744 in
1880, to $445,656,000 in 1885.
There is a good deal of northern
capital in the above figures, but it
points to what the soutii is doing and
what she will be in tiie near future,
the greatest manufacturing section of
this country. So from necessity. If
free negroes are a blessing to the
south, they will certainly not prove
so to the people of the north within
the next twenty years.
In this onward march to wealtn,
Georgia leads her sister States, and
will continue to lead. The state is
rich in water falls, ami sites w> 11 al
most be given away if parties will but
build factories. ,,
Three miles from Milledgeviile, Ga..
there are as fine falls as can be found
in the state; but the citizens haY-e not
the means to build a factory but
would cheerfully take stock m one.
The citizens are asking that men of
capital and experience w°al d build a
factory and they will aid to the btst
0f I t presmne I by this time the scare
of Ku Klux. southern desperadoes,
and pocket-revolvers has about died
out All this talk about violence at
the polls and not letting the negro
rote is all stuff. The reason the ne
gro does not vote, many times, is be
cause he will not pay his poll tax; he
will not walk five and ten miles to
vote unless he is paid to do so; he
does not attach the least im
portance to a vote unless lie Bees a
dollar in it. In a word, tiie great ma
jority will not vote unles s they are
paid to do so. In the cities there are
a few noisy demagogue negroes who
do a good deal talking, and who want
to give themselves influence with the

The negro has ceased to be an issue
with us, and all is peace; he knows
his place in society and is taking it
without any more words. The car
pet-bagger has left, and the thorn in
southern flesh is out. When we read
the ranting speeches of the bitter
partisans north, we only laugh at
their assertions, and feel a contempt
for their malignity.
Let the sober, intelligent, and pains
taking Yankee come among us, and
he wifi find in us, an open hearted
people, who will do all we can to
make him feel at home and contented
with the people, the soil and ' J*®*
auctions. Thisisaland In which to
