Americus, Qa., August 12, 1891.
CHEERING OUTLOOK.
Whe weekly circular of Hambleton A
Co., of Baltimore, has the following:
“Unless the monetary disturbance of
last winter can be so called, we have had
no panic, but are passing through a well
defined course of liquidation, which,
while distasteful, is healthy and bene
ficial. Confidence is shaken, and men
are most distrustful and disinclined to
undertake new obligations or make fresh
ventures, hut the finances and trade of
this country are established upon n firm
basis. This we have proved by the ease
with which we have absorbed the mil
lions of securities returned from abroad
and have liquidated our European in
debtedness. Values have declined, but
is It not most remarkable that there has
been so little disturbance in the money
market and so very few failures In the
world of fiuance ?
“We are now waiting for the turn of
the tide, and while men are iuclined to
grumble .and complain of dull and hard
times, let us remember that ‘this, too,
will pass away,' and that, haviog passed
through a cycle of adversity, a period of
prosperity is now due and will surely
follow. Have we good reasons for such
hopes ? Y'es, many.
“The prospects of trade and com
merce are most promising, and all in
dustries must be stimulated by the great
crops with which this country this year
is blessed. It seems to us that if we
had had the directing of events and con
ditions ourselves, we could not have
shaped them more favorably. First, we
havoajearof liquidation, which has
stopped all purely speculative enter
prises, has made men economize and
curtail their operations, has caused all
financial Institutions to husband their
resources and strengthen their financial
condition, has compelled the reduction
of expenses to a minimum, put a stop to
needless railway extensions, and has
brought us to a sound and safe basis
from which to make an upward start;
secondly, the force of circumstances lias
severed, to a largo extent, the close con
nection between the financial operations
of the government and the money mar
ket, and lias enforced self-dependence
upon our financial institutions: and last,
but not least, the products of tho soil
are showered upon us a hundred-fold
and a market for our surplus products
is at hand.
“Depend upon it, the present cloud
Las a silver lining, and that depression
and distrust will be replaced by confi
dence and improved values.”
INGALLS AT ATLANTA.
“I desired also to see Atlanta for an
other reason. It is the city associated
indissolubly with tie names of tho two
great commanders—Sherman and John
ston. The tirno will yet corao when tho
fame of Johnston will be as much a part
of tho priceless heritago of American
valor as the famo of Sherman himself.
“When tho Puntans landed at Ply
mouth Hock, tho first thing they did was
to fall on their knees. The next thing
they did was to fall on the aborigines.
Later they fell on the Chinese.”
And ho discussed tho slavery question
as follows:
“I want to premise my declaration,
by the admission that the southern peo
ple are not responsible alone for ihe
presence of the African race on this con
tinent The entire people of this coun
try, north and south, are responsible,
and share alike for the presence of the
ftfincan race in tho United States to-day,
and mist mutually take the responsibil
ity for the solution of the African prob
lem.”
endless contest between the bulls and
bears of the New York market, but sub
sequent events have shown it to be a
struggle of far greater magnitude,
transcending in importance anything
tliat has occurred iu the stock market
in a decade. It is nothing less than a
struggle of giauts for the commerce of
this country.
Out west is the granary of North
America, and from that the common
point of departure is Kansas City or its
near neighborhood. Here in the east is
the sea coast, sweeping far inward at
the south, and bringing tho Georgia
tide-water .100 miles nearer the grain re
gion than it is at New York. North erf
the Ohio river are great trunk lines
which have carried this grain crop
across the continent to uorthern ports
for years. In those lines hundreds of
millions of dollars are invested, and tho
power of all that wealth is chielly held
in New Y'ork.
Until the advent of the new southern
railway system, known as the Richmond
A West Point Terminal Company, thero
was no consolidated series of lines able
to compete with those north of tho Ohio
river. When the southern lines further
fortified their position and it was given
out to the world that there would be
southern competition for the great
western business of grain and produce,
cattle and merchandise, there was no
sound from the other side of the Ohio
river. No reply was heard, but an oc
casional cynical note in some paper like
the New York Herald.
Rut the gauntlet had been thrown
clown, and the challenge was not un
heeded. The reply has come at last.
Swift, sudden and desperate has been
tho effort to crush the southern combi
nation, and stay for a decade—perhaps
for a generation—tho mighty competi
tion of the southeast.
It has been a persistent and relentless
fight, and not until now has its .purpose
been fully revealed. The first efforts
were insidious, and came in the shape of
eral assembly, and he has, by joint reso
lution, been invited to address the two
houses at 11 o’clock Wednesday morn
ing.
Mr. Calhoun lias come to be looked
upon as the apostle of development in
the southeast—particularly that kind of
development which proposes to lay hold
upon the commerce of the country by
making the best use of our resources.
The principal of these are our railroads,
rivers and harbors. Mr. Calhoun’s
connection with railroad combinations is
too well-known to remark upon in
this connection, but it will be a matter
of interest to hear him present the claims
of Savannah harbor, and through that
the claims of Georgia for suitable recog
nition in the national policy of develop
ment. It is hardly extravagant to say
that Mr. Calhoun lias mastered the com
mercial relations of this country,particu
larly of the southeast, as no man of liis
years, and possibly no man of any age,
has mastered them. Those who have
heard Mr. Calhoun talk upon this sub
ject accord him unstinted praise for the
fullness of his information and for his
comprehensive grasp of the subject. It
will be worth the while, not only of the
legislature, but of any progressive busi
ness man, to hear Mr. Calhoun's ad
dress.
CUT PRICES
Still the Rule at
Beall & Oakley’s.
A oooi. deal lias been said by the lie-
• publicans regarding the increase of busi-
*neSS and trade under tlio workings of
the McKinley bill, but the reports of
consols abroad arc telling an entirely
different story. Tiie dispatches show
that the exports from Germany to this
country during the six months of 1M>1,
rumors about receiverships, about as
sessments and all imaginable tilings that
would cause stock to decline on a pan
icky market. The West Point Terminal
people wont boldly into the markot and
bought tbelr securities, and the decline
was stopped, and the stock and securi
ties held their own for somo days. Now
all at once there Is another attack, bold
er than the others and by less covert
methods. Tho deliberate attompt is
made to blaokmall the company out of
existence, and the New York Herald has
lent Itself to this disgraceful enterprise.
Put with all the resources of a powerful
paper with years of prestige, the end Is
not yet, and the Indications aro that tho
effort will fail.
Tho abovo from tho Constitution’s
New York special of yesterday is of
great interest to the people of South
west Georgia and Amcricus In particu
lar, not because of any direct concern for
the welfare of the Richmond
Terminal felt by [our people
but beenuse tho fight on that
system is indirectl.f a fight on the Sa
vannah, Araerlcus & Montgomery,
which, when complotcd to Montgomery,
will, in connection with tho Louis
ville, tho Kansas City, Memphis & Bir
mingham, and other lines running to tho
groat west, becomo a through line that
will share with tho Richmond Terminal
Company the business of moving tho
grain crop of tho west over theso south
ern lines to the Atlantic ports. The
Savannah, Amcricus A- Montgomery
will therefore come in for its sharo of
the opposition from tho northorn trunk
lines; and tho victory of tho Terminal
Company in this light means nu indirect
victory for the Savannah, Amerlcus A
Montgomery. It Is tho south against
tho north; and while the Savannah,
Amcricus A Montgomery is at present a
vigorous competitor with tho Terminal
in Georgia and Alabama, they have a
common cause in this fight, ami the vic
tory of tho ono ovor tho common enemy
Is the victory of tho other; ami what de
feats the Terminal in gaining this west
ern business would likewise affect the
future business of the Savannah, Amcri
cus, and Montgomery as a link in a great
through line from the west to the Geor
gia ports.
The truth is, that if the tide of traffic
| is turned this way, there will be enough
Tim Macon Telegraph says that there
aro a great many worse demagogues
than Tom Watson, although he glories
in being a demagogue, according to his
own statement. Tho Telegraph con
tinues: “Now, the dictionary says that
a demagogue is ‘especially one who con
trols the multitude by specious or de
ceitful acts; a pandcrcr to popular
prejudices; an artful political orator.’
Accepting this definition as the correct
one, and we don’t think its accuracy
will be generally questioned, it is a little
difficult to understand why Col. Watson
should esteem the term ‘demagogue’ a
badge of honor when applied to him.
For our part, wo fail to see how a de
ceiver of and panderor to the multitude
is less contemptible than the deceiver of
and panderer to individuals. In either
case be is a person without self-respect.
Admitting that he Is a demagogue and
glorying in it, Col. Watson admits that
tho sincerity of his advocacy of the
schemes which he thinks popular is open
to question. Nobody expects sincerity
of a demagogue. Tho man who is sln-
corc, even though ho he on the popular
side, Is not a demagogue.”
A special from Washington says that
thore is nothing in tho report which
comes from Atlanta, to the effect that
Emory Speer will be appointed to one of
the circuit judgeships. The president
and attorney-general have been advised
so strongly not to make tills appoint
ment that there is no prospect that it
will bo made. By refusing to make this
appointment this administration has, as
far as it was able, endoavored to remedy
the hugo mistake of a former Kepuhli-
can administration whicii rewarded a
renegade Democrat by a life office on
the United States district bench.
