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. decreased #0,000,000 as compared with ; of u {or tUe Tcrmlnal , y8tom ,thc Savan the value of exports for the correspond- nab Amcricu> * Montgomery system, ing period of lfiffO.
