Respectfully Keferred.
One of the most gratifying signs of
the times is that the people have
ceased to talk about the introduction
of foreign capital and have gone to
woik themselves.
Harmony Grove is but a small place,
with no pull on New York bankers.
Through the enterprise of her own
citizens she lias erected two cotton
mills, giving work to several hundred
people, besides declaring handsome
dividends. So well satisfied arc these
people with the result of mills “built
at home” that they have now resolved
upon another, winch will mean the
employment of more people and the
declaring of a larger sum total in divi
dends. “The best part of it all is,”
says the news story, “that it is all
home capital, loo, not a dollar being
held by outsiders.”
Congealulalitns -----»...........-........................... to Harmony Grove!
She plays at. once for mill,
directors and dividends. That i< the
way to go to Work. It is als > the best
way m which to attract distant capi'al.

Formerly it was held that when a
number of voters two-thirds as great
as the total number of those voting at
the preceding general election cast bal¬
lots in favor of issuing bonds ordinary
should declare the election ..for bonds
carried. Hut the supreme court has
decided that in order to tAS^ei thtf eiee

two-thirds as many votes as there were

The following short tariff lesson is
taken from the Brooklyn Herald: '-Re¬
ports from England assert that tlie
American steel manufacturers arc of¬
fering wire rods delivered in Man¬
chester for S20.H0 ft l.on. For ■J the
same thing (he price to customers in
this cquntyy^is ^9 a top. That ,is to
say,, tbp American protective tpriff,
preventing free competition, enable,?
the .American manufacturer to charge
#39' to Americans for what ho sells to
Englishmen for #29.30, after freight¬
ing the goods across the Atlantic.V
Good business scrisq teaches that tin
Amcricqn producer ( i,.jakes a profit on
the steel he .phips abroad. There is
uoquesliop about Ibis. And yet U_o
!■(*(•» ives in arly #1|> per ton more from
