Financial Disaster—lts origin.
If anybody imagines that we have
seen the end of financial disasters, let
him be undeceived at once. What has
caused the failures of the past few
years and what will cause the failures
of the future? Primarily, the abeli
tion war and its results, superadded to
the insane Reconstruction acts, may
be saddled with the whole burden of
complaint. The “results” of these
wicked measures are now being made
manifest to those who, at first, seemed
to profit by them. The North was en
riched, after a fashion, by the inter
state conflict, and the South tem
porarily ruined. Luckily, the South
had considerable cotton on hand,
in 1866, and it commanded an enor
mous price. That saved this section
for the time being from absolute and
irretrievable bankruptcy. Our people
bought lavishly and the North was
seduced into granting unlimited credit.
Both sections were deceived by the
condition of affairs. The New Orleans
Times, in an admirable article, pictures
the consequences:
“Planters whose credit had been good
before the war, found no'difficulty in
procuring on their reputations as much
money as they wanted. But the plant
ers had miscalculated. They over
looked the fact that the [money made
before the war on cotton planting was
not the yield so much of the cotton
crop as the slave crop; the cotton cul
ture being merely an accessory to keep
the slaves from idleness. Many plant
ers, too, were unable to get satisfactory
labor from the negroes under the new
condition of things. Numbers of them
could not pay out the first year, but
secured extensions to the next. But at
the end of that year they could do no
better, and then came the crash among
them. Their lands were seized and
thrown upon the market; but there
were hundreds of sellers and few buy
ers, and the value of lands went down
to nothing. A general depreciation of
values followed. The merchants could
neither get anything for the planters’
lands nor for their own city property,
for the same reason; everybody wanted
to realize at the same time. Their
Northern creditors came down and
closed them out, but were very little if
at all benefited, because they could get
nothing for the property they had
levied on. This brought the Northern
creditors into trouble, which under or
dinary ciscumstances, they could, per
haps, have tided over. But the South
ern difficulties had paralyzed the
Southern demand. .Manufacturers, in
anticipation of that demand, had made
up large supplies of goods, and dealers
laid in heavy stocks, neither of which
could be sold.”
The bubble burst in 1873. The whole
fabric was one of rags and lampblack,
and down it tumbled. The South had
been reduced to the last gasp by her
enemy, but S.AMSON-like, she has drawn
the pillars and the dome of the com
mercial temple down with a crash,
which will, eventually, hurt her betray
ers and tormentors more than she has
been injured. Unlike Samson, she will
presently emerge from the ruin and
recover her ancient Tstrength. The
North thought she could hack at, worry,
wound and almost kill the South,
without corresponding paralysis in her
own limbs and vital organs. Never
was there a greater delusion. No
doubt there will bo distress here finan
cially, and men who run big steamboats
with small boilers will go to the wall,
by an iron logic and necessity, for he
who spends more than he earns must
at last go to perdition commercially,
the world over. But the general con
dition of this section is sounder than
the general condition of either the
East or West, and it is penetrating the
minds of even the worst fanatics, that
the South is the bulwark of the Union
against national bankruptcy. We have
seen the worst; our brethren beyond
are yet to see it.
Third Parties —A Wise ‘‘Lunatic.”
There is a studious attempt upon the
part of Radical journals to convict
Vice-President Wilson of insanity or
senility—all because he is so charm
ingly frank in predicting Republican
disasters. The truth is Mr. Wilson is
much more sane now than he was
years ago, when he had a bad case of
“nigger on the brain.” W T e have al
ready given, from time to time, certain
of his Delphic utterances, and here is
another which displays a sagacious and
healthy intellect. Speaking of the at
tempt to form parties outside the great
organizations of the day, he says:
‘■This building up' of third parties is
not generally the work of practical
men. There are perhaps seven mil
lions of voters in our country; the
actual majority of one party over the
other is never above a few hundred
thousand. You see what a narrow
shelf a third party has to occupy.
Take the Republican party, which had
such a remarkable career on the des
tiny of men. I was one of the callers
of the Philadelphia convention. We
tried to stir up the people on the main
issues of conscience, but at last we had
to triumph by bringing about a fusion
of the native Americans, the Republi
cans, the Free Soil Democrats, etc.,
thus dropping to a much lower plane
for our triumph. Even then Lincoln
had to come in by a plurality instead
of a majority. Now, Greeley’s oppor
tunity was unparalleled to make anew
party by the consent of an old one, yet
he failed, and broke his heart.” If
that solid presentation of great truths
is an evidence of lunacy, it.is a pity
that the rampant Radical editors are
not inoculated with the same views.
Kite-Flying.— The New York Herald ,
anticipating the success of the anti
contractionists in the Democratic party,
thinks Grant must be trotted out to
lead the hard money host. Well trot
him out. Harper’s Weekly, which ought
to know, says he is the weakest candi
date before the people, and, if the Radi
cals are to be beaten, the people would
a little rather whip Gbant than any
pther man.
Touching a llaw Spot—How Candid
Radicals Love Foreign-boi*n Citi
zens.
On the first day of the Industrial Ex
position, at Cincinnati,Rev. Mr. Scheme,
evidently a Republican Bloodhound of
Zion, thus spoke :
England learned long ago that real
growth was by expansion, and so by cen
trifugal energies she had advanced to ter
wide reaches of prosperity. And this is
the great lesson for us to learn. The peo
pling of our vast areas of territory is tut
a preliminary process. In fact, we are in
grievous error when we afford too gn at
facilities ior immigration. My patriotism
is not chilled by the present reduction in
the number of those who are seeking citi
zenship and a livelihood within our bor
ders. I had rather have Utah a howling
waste for the next half century than
to have Utah populated with the de
luded victims of the Mormon i.m
poster. I had rather have New York an
American city, with half its present popu a
tion, than a city governed, as it is for the
most part, by the voting power of those wdio
exercise the franchise in ignorance, or
prejudice, or superstition—a city where
there are more Irishmen than in Dublin,
more Germans than in Hamburg, more
Jew's than in Jerusalem. I heartily fax or
a m iderato and honest immigration. It 1 as
had much to do in making up the material
greatness of the land, and especially has it
proved a blessing to Cincinnati. But I hid
rather have your acre of machinery than a
million of political Ninevites, w'ho, in the
duties of American citizenship, “can not
discern between their right hand and th dr
left hand.*’ To romantic patriotism it may
be well for us to be an “Asylum for the
Nations.” But the Genius of Ai#eriea does
not propose to superintend an asylum, but
rather to work out the great problem of
civilization through intelligent industry.
When the Republican party wanted
soldiers to fight the South, especia ly
substitutes to protect native American
carcasses, no words were too honeyed
in speaking of the Germans and the
Irish. But see how beautifully the Know-
Nothing sentiment crops out even at
an exhibition of industry, in a city, too,
which has been, to a great degree,
built up and made prosperous by the
very men who are thus insulted. All
this tallies with what a New York Re
publican told us at the end of the war.
He said : “ We do not like the negro,
but we want his vote. We want his
vote to offset that of the damned Dutch
and Irish.” Now, the foreign-born citi
zens, who did so much to “ save the
glorious Union ” may put that in their
pipes and smcke it.
Evangelists—Good Fare a Necessity.
• The new evangelists have evidently
practiced what Dr. Talmage teaches.
They believe that generous fare ma res
a good brain, and a tough beefsteak,
badly cooked, may lose a battle or
spoil a sermon. A correspondent of
the Northern press thus describes the
men who are agitating the religious as
well as the irreligious, world : “ Prof.
Bliss and foaj. Whipple, like Moody
and Sankey, are said to be of a cheer
ful and sociable disposition, and their
general make-up is hardly what one
expects to see in men whose whole life
seems to be devoted to rescuing man
kind from the terrible vortex of sin and
perdition. They are of splendid phy
sique, both of them not less than six
feet in their stockings, with keen black
eyes, and their faces covered with a
handsome, flowing beard of the purest
jet. It is doubtful, if in the whole
country, four finer-looking men could
be collected. While there is nothing
specially sanctimonious in their appear
ance, it is at once clear that they are
thoroughly sincere in their chosen
work.” We believe that all good an
gels circle around the amiable, sun
shiny man, in or out of the pulpit; and
we further believe that much of the
gloom that makes some pious people
insufferable bores and unwholesome
guides proceeds more from dyspepsia
thau anything else. We heartily ap
prove of the reverend clergy having
the best of fare scientifically cooked. A
bad stomach, broken down by ill-pre
pared food, is next to aj bad conscience
and puts a man in.daily peril of losing
his soul. We could dwell upon this
theme with unction, but forbear.
An Oddity. —ln one of his letters
from Europe, Donn Piatt describes
Moncure D. Conway, who has a religion
of his own, which is in complete antag
onism to orthodox Christianity. Piatt
says “Conway is a Virginian by birth
and education, and opposed the late
Southern Confederacy with all his
might. A Virginian who would go
against Virginia under any circumstan
.ces is a man who would not accept
Christ, the twelve, or the miracles, or
aught else that did not address his in
tellectual individuality. A man of sin
gular originality, of decided genius, a
pure character and undoubted earnest
ness, he has but two weaknesses :.one
a belief in Conway, and the other that
humanity can be benefited by knowing
the truth ; and hence he goes up and
down making arguments, all of which
is very tiresome.” Yes, he is a brilliant
man, but a Hoosac tunnel in the way of
being a prodigious bore, when he
spouts of “the religion of the future.”
He was not the only Southerner of ;al
ent who forsook his section. The dead
liest blows the South received were
from Thomas, the Virginian ; Johnson
and Farragut, the Tennesseeans, and
Lincoln, the Kentuckian. Behold tt eir
work!
Saratoga. Commenting upon the
Republican platform adopted at Sara
toga, New York, the Sun says :
The platform is wordy, and generally
commonplace, but has two or three signifi
cant points. It denounces the third term
plot in explicit terms. Some of the dele
gates dosired that this might be otherwise;
but the tide was too strong to be resisted.
The Catholic school question was drawn in,
but without any provocation; and the loud
cheers with which that plank in the plat
form was greeted only prove that a party
on the brink of destruction will grasp e’-ren
at a shadow to break its fall.
The fact is, the Radical party has one
hope alone of carrying the country, and
that is by stirring up the masses
against the Catholics, just as they stir
red them up on the subject of negro
slavery. It has been a party of agi ca
tion, war, blood, internecine strife, rob
bery, pollution and crimes against the
social order. The last shot in its look
er is Know Nothingism, and that vail
fail, because the people want peace and
not the sword—especially the sword of
religious bigotry and intolerance, come
from whatever source it may.
Michelet.— Persons who read books
generally form exaggerated or very
ludicrous ideas as to the real “ make
up ” of authors. This has been well
exemplified in the following anecdote :
Writes a Paris correspondent: “I shall
never forget what a very witty and bril
liant literary woman once told me about
Michelet. She said that after reading his
book on ‘Woman’ she had the most intense
and enthusiastic admiration for his char
acter. She fancied him a man of mighty
and energetic ways and imposing presence.
So when she went to France she made all
speed to call upon him. She found him a
lean and scrawny old man, curled up on a
sofa, and requiring his wife’s constant at
tention.’’
If anybody should judge Mr. Ste
phens by his writings alone, he would
pfesent the ideal of a man who could
take John Morrissey by the eye-brows
and swing him up to the finial of the
Capitol dome at Washington.
The American Grocer.— We are in
receipt of a copy of the regular semi
annual extra edition of the American
Grocer, a 32-page trade journal, pub
lished weekly at 141 Chambers street,
New York, for §4 a year. The Ameri
can Grocer has won a deservedly high
place among commercial papers by the
fullness and accuracy of its market re
ports and prices-current, embracing all
kinds of merchandise and country pro
duce, as well as for its bold and suc
cessful advocacy of trade reforms in
the interest of honesty and fair dealing
among merchants. It is proving an
invaluable assistant to dealers through
out the Country in giviDg them inform
ation concerning qualities and prices
of goods. This excellent paper keeps,
as standing matter, at the head of its
columns, in very prominent type, the
following words of wisdom: “Count,
measure, weigh and gauge everything
you buy.”
Joe Johnston. —Alluding to the ca
nard about Gen. Johnston and the Khe
dive of Egypt, the Washington Capitol
says: “The soldiers of fortuue in the
days of Quentin Durward were not the
highest type of man, and now, in the
light of advanced civilization, the pro
fession of arms is elevated only when
it is allied to true ■'patriotism. The
Khedive hires his soldiers as the Sul
tan selects his eunuchs, and puts them
where they will do the most good.
This is all very well in an Egyptian
ruler. The selection of Gen. Johnston
is a recognition of his great ability,
but his acceptance of the appointment
will reduce him to the rank of one who
hires his sword to the highest bidder.”
We are rejoiced to learn that Gen.
Johnston never had any intention of
“ hiring his sword.”
Self-Protection. The newspapers
are poking fun at Mr. Joseph Whar
ton, who wrote a book on “National
Self-Protection.” As he practices what
he preaches, this is the way a Western
free-trade journalist goes for him : “He
is said to own the only nickel mine in
the country. The anxiety he shows to
have the manufacture of nickel pro
tected would be touching if it were in
spired by the heart or head, instead of
the pocket. As it is, Mr. Wharton de
voutly believes in protecting the fa
vored few, quorum magna pars est, at
the expense of the masses. If he ex
pects the latter, he must speak of them
as T. Sterry Hunt did, when he said
‘the masses’ were ‘them asses.’ ”
Money.— The hard money men jeer
at the anti-contractionists that there is
no end of money for loaning in the
Eastern States, and ask the South and
West why they do not come and get it.
The Nashville American, speaking for
that section and for all others outside
of the New England and Eastern States
generally, says:
There is no money here that can be bor
rowed by producers. It is all loaned on
gold stocks or bond collaterals, or on
strictly commercial paper at sixty days.
There is plenty of money, but, as a
candid New Yorker confessed, it takes
the Lord for an endorser to draw it out
of bank.
Pennsylvania.— The Baltimore Ga
zette confesses that the contest in Penn
sylvania will not be on the currency,
but on the question of reform, that is
an onslaught upon the Radical Eing
publicans. It says : “ A ring the most
debauched and corrupt that ever had
existence has one hand on the throat
and the other in the pockets of the
Commonwealth. The thieves are even
now sacking the State Treasury, and
insolently stand at its doors and hold
the people at bay. The money of tax
payers is being used by the robbers to
carry the coming election and perpetu
ate the Cameron dynasty.”
Gold.— The New York Herald attri
butes the rise of gold to the Pennsyl
vania Democratic platform, which op
poses farther contraction of the cur
rency. That is a miserable sham or
subterfuge to bolster up a sinking
cause. The Financial Chranicle, on the
contrary, traces the rise in gold to a
bull gold clique, and not to active
money or politics. The boars are to be
squeezed, we are told. Of course, the
Wall street gamblers can use the Erie
Convention as a pretext, but grasshop
pers and Western floods would have
done as well, a month ago.
Milliners and dressmakers have sent
more husbands and wives to the divorce
courts than all other human beings com
bined. They are the great sowers of do
mestic unhappiness.— [New York Times.
Then thanks to the milliners and dress
makers. If they can keep foolish women
from being wives and mothers the race will
eventually improve.—[4B. Louis Dispatch.
It comes down to poetry, after all:
Big fleas have little fleas
To bite ’em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas,
And so, ad infinitum!
Gladstone.— Old Thomas Carlyle
says Mr. Gladstone is“ much worse
than a mere politician, for he always
aci s the politician with the wisdom of
a statesman.” We dare say Mr. Glad
stone could give a fearful pen-portrait
of Mr. Carlyle.
The Sparnick Case. —The Aiken
Courier-Journal learns that when the
jury came in and reported “no bill” in
the Sparnick case, they stood seven for
a bill and seven for no bill. Four were
mute, refusing to say yes or no. So
the end is not yet.

TWO AND A HALF YEARS Experience
in Augusta, as a groceryman, gives
rise to many reflections in glancing over
the situation here as we found it and as it
is at the present writing. 'Jeas, Coffees,
Sugars, Flour. Soap, Spices, and in short
nearly ail the necessaries as well as luxu
ries of life, are now sold at a closer margin
than ever before.
The establishment of the CHINA TEA A
COFFEE STORE, the Pioneer Cash Grocery
of Augusta, has changed the whole ruinous
system of buying goods on long credit, thus
paying twice their value to keep some poor
merchant from ruin as the victim of anoth
er dead beat. Look at the facts: In Sugars
I sell two pounds more for one dollar to
day than i ould be bought at retail of an v
merchant in Augusta one and a half year’s
ago—and Sugars are higher now in mai ket
than previous to my advent among you.
I sell a better article fifty per cent, ‘less
than was sold then, or even now, as I am
prepared to prove.
My Teas are imported direct, and the
quality is guaranteed, thus saving many
profits to the consumer.
In Coffees, look also at the change.—lt is
no longer necessary to risk having this de
licious beverage ruined by tho experiments
of any would-be cook of the fire, as I have
a complete assortment of all grades, care
fully roasted by steam and ground fresh
on the premises, in any quantity to suit
the purchaser.
Revolutions never go backward! What
one year has accomplished another can im
prove and perfect; and I only ask, as a re
ward for laboring for your interests in the
past, that you should continue to cheer
and encourage me, and I trust the day is
far distant when .any resident of Augusta
or vicinity will regret having made my ac
quaintance or of giving to me their gener
ous patronage.
