AUGUSTA. G?A_:
Tuesday Morning, Norcmber 9, 1875,
The Centennial.
Wo havo always rather favored a
participation by the South in the Phil
adelphia Centennial, although there
have been many things to shake one’s
faith in it. Qen. Hawley’s pilgrimage
down here was one of the most unfor
tunate events in this connection, and,
if Georgia takes but little stock in the
matter, at this time, the aforesaid
Hawley has been principally to blame.
The New Orleans Times, one of the
ablest papers in this country, takes a
humorous view of the whole matter
and dubs it “Friend Shadbklly’s Ba
zaar.’’ We quote the editorial com
ment: “When a thing, if it’s only a
cheese, gets to be one hundred years
old, there is almost always something
in it or about, which ought to be cele
brated. There is a completeness about
a century which is utterly foreign to
ninety-nine years. Centuries are like
the joints of cane, continuous but dis
tinct, and when one is fully accom
plished and it is no longer possible to
to add to it or to change it, it is quite
becoming to take a survey of it for our
better instruction in building up the
next one. And a nation is spe
cially prone to bo proud of its
first century, as the mother of
her first born. The child may be a
deplorable failure to every dispas
sionate eye, but the parents will jubi
late all the same. To them it is a fact
of extraordinary significance, and
marks an era in the world’s progress.
They will admit that many children
had been born before, and possibly
some may be born after, but none like
this one; no, indeed.
*' The first century of the Republic
undoubtedly contains a host of things
to celebrate. There’s Lexington and
Bunker Hill—outside of the century, to
be sure, but Mr. Lynch is a member of
the Centennial Directory, and he ought
to be able to count them in—and Val
ley Forge and Yorktown, and Stephen
Decatur and David Crockett ; Edgar
Poe, Morse, Fulton, Mary Walker,
the Northern Pacific Railroad, Chicago
and Lafitte ; Chepultepec, Lundy’s
Lane, Samoa and (according to con
tract) the Jetties. Neither do we ob
ject to Philadelphia as the place where
at to celebrate these things. No city
has a happier knack of combining
thrift with glory and gathering com
fortable profits alike from the good
and ill-fortune of a beloved country.
The grand climacteric of patriotism and
business, it is well benefiting, should
occur in the City of Brotherly Love.
“ Wherefore we say we have no solid
objections to centennials ; nor have we
any rooted antipathy to being recon
ciled, bridging the chasm, seeing the
bloody shirt inurned, and that sort of
thing. But we have some airy whims,
some crotchets which disturb the ser
enity with which we do not contem
plate the preparations. One of these
is that we do not wish to pay too steep
a price for the fatted calf which the
paternal Shadbelly invites us to con
sume. We take a chastened pleasure
in seeing the nation’s birth day cele
brated, although wo do not admire the
nation as developed, but we suspect the
zeal of individuals combined as it is
with the hum of contractors. We are
tired of the continual appeal to ‘ give,
give ;’ not that we have given any
thing or intend to, except our propor
tion of tho national appropriation, but
wo don’t sympathize deeply with gen
tlemen who want so much money to
get up a show in which they havo a
financial interest and we only a senti
mental one. Again, we are not en
thused by the columns of stuff we re
ceive with suggestions that our read
ers would bo delighted to soe it, which
same stuff is published in Northern pa
pers as advertisements.
" With those exceptions, wo endorse
Shadbelly as a very fair sort of person,
and will attend his bazaar if we can af
ford the expense.”
It strikes us that the above is a very
fair and practical statement of the
whole case. While the North contin
ues to endorse the principles of the last
fifteen years, sends us her third-class
goods as first-class articles, and begs
Southern papers to do for love what
her own papers do for cash, we think
“Shadbelly ” ought to be satisfied
with a small amount of enthusiasm
from this region.”
Great Britain’s Commerce and Wealth
From the annual statement of the
English Board of Trade, for 1874, the
following figures are drawn :
Imports. Exports. Total,
IS7O £303,257,000 £244,081,000 £547,338,000
1871.... 331,015,000 283,575,000 614,590,000
1172 354,694.000 314,589,000 669,282 000
1873 371,287,000 311,005,000 682,292.000
1874 ... 370,083,000 297,650,000 667,733,000
The London Economist, commenting
upon these statistics, says :
The excess of imports over exports last
year, viz; £73,000,000, forms a better meas
ure of the usual profits of our foreign trade,
and of the amount of Income derived from
foreign investments, than the smaller ex
cess, still seen in years when we make large
investments abroad. Adding to it the ex
cess of bullion imports over exports in the
year, amounting to £7,000,000, we may put
down £30,000,000, in round numbers, as, at
least, the minimum which foreign countries
have to pay us anuualiy for the investment
of our capital abroad, and for freight and
other commissions.
Some idea can be had of the enorm
ous accumulation of capital iu Great
Britain when the interest on her foreign
loans amounts to $400,000,000 per an
num. At 6 per cent, these loans would
illustrate $6,665,000,000. It is said
that these loans have been been mainly
made during the past thirty years, and
that the strides of England toward gi
gantic wealth run pari passu with her
declaration of free trade.
Gordon. —ln his interview with a
News and Courier reporter, Gen. Gor
don states nothing that is either novel
or original. The true Democratic pa
pers, in the South more especially,
have long ago been on the line ho
points out as the proper one for victo
ry. Besides, Is not Gen. Gordon him
self somewhat to blame for giving the
currency question undue prominence ?
Germany and Her Finances.
That there are very grave financial
troubles in Germany, no one can doubt
The causes assigned for these disturb
ances are various. According to some
writers, the French indemnity corrupt
ed tho people, and, in concert with the
intoxication consequent upon a mar
velous military conquest, turned their
sober ways to those which are known
in this country as Jay Cookean. The
same extravagance that characterized
the Northern people of this Union, af
ter the events of 1865, were repeated in
Germany after the fall of Napoleon
and the rise of Emperor William, Bis
marck and Yon Moltke. Speculation ran
wild in the municipal centres, and we
once heard that a proposition plausibly
put in Berlin to freeze over the burning
lake of Satan would have received sub
scriptions to aDy amount. At all
events, wild cat schemes and invest
ments were all the rage, and now comes
the reaction from a tremendous finan
cial and military debauch. Other wri
ters assert that the overgrown military
establishment has drained Germany of
her people and her industries, as well
as her wealth-production.
The purely commercial view of the
European crisis is taken by the
Springfield, Massachusetts, Republican.
This admirable journal states that
“the present financial trouble in Ger
many is largely due to the attempt to
abolish small bills and substitute coin
for them in the every day operations
of the people. Under the currency sys
tems of the several States tho banks
of Prussia, Saxony and other divisions
of the present empire have issued a
paper money based on specie for
amounts as small as one thaler, or 75
cents. At the first of this year the
amount of these notes in circulation
under the denomination corresponding
to $25 was $135,000,000. Yet the Gov
ernment requires that all these notes,
which have never been depreciated at
all, but have been as good as the gold,
shall be withdrawn by the Ist of next
January, and has declared them not a
legal-tender after that date. It is thus
intended to make the smallest paper
note equal to the English £5 note, and
to compel the use of the new gold coin
for all purposes of exchange below that
sum. The withdrawal of this paper
and the substitution of coin money for
it in actual circulation within so short
a time creates a serious convulsion in
trade.
“But this is not the whole of the coin
age difficulty under which Germany
labors. Since the Franco-Prussiau
war the imperial mint has coined the
enormous amount of $320,000,000,
$285,000,000 of it being in gold. From
$100,000,000 to $150,000,000 of old silver
and copper have been withdrawn. But
the new gold ‘marks’ cannot be kept in
circulation. They are exported, and
‘the image and superscription’ of
Kaiser Wilhelm are actually melted
down in the crucibles of the Bank of
France. Whether tho new coinage
will stay at home and circulate Dext
year, when it will be the only legal
tender below $25, remains to be seen.
The German coinage scheme has been
unfortunate from the first, and deserves
failure, from the willful refusal of the
finance ministry to adopt coins inter
changeable with thoso of France, Eng
land and America.”
From tho above exhibit it would ap
pear that a species of “contraction” pur
sued by tho German Administration
has not only driven its gold back to
France—whoso financiers seem to be
tho wonders of tho world—but also
forced tho people at largo into sorlous
present disasters with a notable pros
pect of universal bankruptcy. Mean
while, not only has France gotten back
all or nearly all of her lost indemnity,
but is absorbing German gold at a rate
that may well make Bismarck sick, and
even desirous of another war upon
what Carl-Schurz himself calls, “the
richest country on the globe and the
only prosperous one in this epoch.”
Declining.— New York papers of the
latest dates report that there is a per
ceptible falling off in attendance at tho
Moody and Sankey prayer meetings,
held in the Talmage Tabernacle every
morning. The decreased attendance
was accounted for Tuesday by the
election, Wednesday by tho anxiety to
know the result, and Thursday by
rain. On Friday there was neither an
election nor anxiety about it, nor rain,
and yet there was the smallest attend
ance of the week. It is observed, also,
that tho great bulk of attendants were
already in church-membership. We
dare say, as Mr. Moody himself found,
the daily publication of his sermons has
done him and his cause great harm.
The best religious discourse on earth,
if frequently repeated, palls on the
mind at last.
Changed. —Mr. Beecher used to speak
of Mrs. Moulton, in old days, as “a
bank of Spring flowers,” and, writing
to her husband, in 1872, he said: “Not
the leastjhas been the great-hearted
kindness and trust which your noble
wife has shown, and which have lifted
me out of despondencies often, though
sometimes her clear truthfulness has
laid me flat.” He likewise likened her
advice, on a certain occasion, to a
“slice of the day of judgment.” Pos
sibly her latest pronunciamento sounds
to Beecher like a healthy blast from Ga
briel’s trumpet.
South Carolina.— A writer for one of
the papers in the Palmetto State
thinks South Carolina would be more
conspicuous for her absence than
presence at the Philadelphia Cen
tennial. His idea is plausible at
least. Sumner’s “empty chair” in
the Senate was more formidable than
that gentieman’s' personal attendance.
Perhaps South Carolina could take a
valuable hint from that dramatic inci
dent. But it is her business, and we
trust that whatever she proposes to
do in the matter will be for the best.
Childs.—The proprietor of the Phil
adelphia Ledger has felt it his duty to
make public the fact that the excru
ciating obituary poetry which appears
in his paper is not an emanation of his
genius, but the drivel of interested and
afflicted parties, who pay the printer
for their absurdities.
Small Industries, American Co-opera
tion.
At this time, much attention has been
directed to what is knowu as the Roch
dale co-operation scheme. Dr. Woa
rall and others have explained this
process and its advantages are now
being pressed for adoption in the
United States. The Baltimore Gazette
is of opinion that the most successful
exhibition of co-operation is not at
Rochdale or any other English locality
but nearer home. It refers to the
cheese-producing counties of New York
and draws, from a Northern magazine,
some valuable and rather startling
statistics. From these sources we learn
that whereas the export of cheese was
in 1863, 38,000,000 pounds it now
amounts to 100,000,000, whilst the do
mestic consumption has nearly doubled.
These results have come from co-opera
tion, and the steps leading to it are
thus detailed:
First. Jesse Williams, of Oneida county,
acquired quite a reputation for his cheese.
Then a son of his married and took an ad
joining: farm. The cheese from his son’s
farm Mr. Williams bought at the same
price ho got for his own, but, for want of
facilities, its quality was inferior. So the
idea was started of tho delivery of the milk
and the manufacture of the cheese at the
original factory. Gradually the milk from
other dairy farms was contracted for, and
tho success of this first cheese factory led
to the starting of others on a similar plan.
Then followod improved processes and la
bor-saving machinery, until, at present, a
choese dairy is the combined product of ex
perience, inventivo ingenuity and personal
skill.
To such immenso proportions has their
Industry attained during tho ten
years that at two points regular markets
havo been established, where the offerings
of choeso for 1874 amounted in value to
nearly six millions of dollars. Under cir
cumstances like these it is not surprising
that choese factories are starting up all
over tho country—tho largest in the West
being at Elgin, in Illinois. In the South,
for similar factories, Tennessee takes tho
lead. There is no reason why Maryland
should not follow; especially as butter is
also one of the products. This butter,
made at the “creameries” attached to the
factories, is regarded on the market as su
perior to even that of Orange county.
Here, then, is an industry wherein all the
farmers of a neighborhood can take part,
and which is still capable of wide and pro
fitable development.
With tho most naturally favored
country in the world, the South is far
from being the most appreciative of
her phenomenal blessings. So long as
she makes cotton her main depend
ence, to the exclusion of small indus
tries and the cultivation of grain and
meat, so long will she be a comparative
beggar with a king’s domain. We do
most firmly believe that, if this section
would make cotton a surplus crop,
feed itself to a considerable degree, en
gage in what are known as small in
dustries, and forswear commercial
gambling, East or West—which has
been tho most fearful curse of our peo
ple sluce the war —the inhabitants of
tho South would be the most envied
and prosperous of any race upon the
globe.
Moral Book-Keeping. —A Washington
correspondent of tho Baltimore Suji
charges that false statements of tho
decreaso iu the public debt are always
put forth from the Treasury Depart
ment prior to important elections, only
to be corrected when the political crisis
shall have passed. If the Federal
Government keeps its books in this
loose fashion, and puts forth false bal
ance-sheets for a corrupt purpose, it
may be understood how the high-pres
sure commercial firms of the United
States pattern after a bad, but distin
guished, exemplar.
Ehem !—Tho editor of tho Charlotte
Observer, commenting upon the devo
tion of Tweed’s wife, declares that
“ next to the man irD prison, we know
of no individual who is in greater need
of such a loving and earnest soother
of his troubles, than a newspaper edi
tor.”
Jim Bennett. —lt is currently re
ported that Hackett, in New York,
owed his recent political triumph
mainly to Bennett and his paper; and
that Bennett supported Hackett be
cause he was the “best pigeon shooter
in the world.” Ye gods! Such is prin
ciple at the commercial metropolis.
Paupers.— Beaufort county paupers
are fed by contract at cents per
day. Beforo the war, thoso paupers
were busily engaged in cotton and rico
culture.
POLITICAL NOTES.
How does it look for tho President of tho
United States to appear before a rabble and
make a speech upon the returns of a politi
cal election ? In It ho said that his party
had secured the offices for tho next four
years. This is dignified. This is fitting tho
great ofllee.
“ Every Democratic National Conven
tion,” says tho Cincinnati Enquirer, “ has
been held east of th e Alleghanios, with tho
exception of two—Cincinnati in 1856, and
Chicago in 1864. It is time that there was
a change in this programme. There Is a
majority of the people living west of tho
chain of mountains to which we have re
ferred. Tho East has had nine Conven
tions to the West’s two. Have they any
right to ask the tenth ? In 1867 there was
but a single vote’s difference between St.
Louis and New York, and that vote was
given by one or two members who repre
sented States near St. Louis, who were in
fluenced by the National bank and bond
holding gentlemen. Let the people of tho
West and South early to look and
consider what will be the action of their
National Committeemen in fixing the site
of the next National Convention.”
The Macon lelegraph thinks the dem
ocratic victory in Mississippi will result in
tae election of Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar to the
United States Senate Says the Telegraph:
“Never has man more richly deserved or
more worthily won that crown. Lamar as
Senator will recall Mississippi’s proud days,
when her voice in that body was potential,
and her representative spoke not alone for
the State but for the South. It will be a fit
ting climax for a victory his counsels and
exertions, made possible, and a promotion
his ability, zeal, eloquence and statesman
ship have grandly deserved. He has been
tho brain and right hand of this revolt
against Radical knavery and corruption in
Mississippi, and we shall count the victory
roboed of half its splendor and significance
If his election is not signalized by a un
animity rarely known in these days of
fierce rivalries and heated contests. Wo
expect to see him sent by acclamation to
replace the renegade Alcorn, and still fur
ther to illustrate and Illumine a career
rarely matched in its beneficent as well as
brilliant results.’’
