LET THE PEOPLE,SPEAK OCT. A WARNING TO THE SOUTH. It Is encouraging to see that the Baltimore iUiBufaeturecis' Record bis sent out a note of -warning to 'the South In view of the era of increasing pros perity (that seems surely tending this way. Tito Record warns Southern com munities to beware, in this Instance, of something of which it has had a suffi ciency—tihe town boom. To those Southern communities iwho a few years ago passed through the specula tive ugo- nicB of real white Imhiuis, 'this warning will be useless. It coanes, however, path peculiarly good grace from one Record itscif, which, -while It has al- la-homl oarneskly for (the upbuild- lug of the Soun't and the linprovemout of the advantages of ;tie section, was at one time -tbe most desirable medium for the boosting of "boom” town schemes. If we rememba' correctly, the Record once hid a special depart ment ibvoited to this line of business '• which mis worked with great profit to the Record but lil-tte to the communi ties which suffered from the collapse of values which followed the ephemeral “booms” In real eatUte. The Record has gotten right and we agree with it In its advice to the Sough. ,We don’t want any more breakdown* In prices, and It will tmke a long, long time for the people of the South to be come so infected with the malaria of speculation that an epidemic of “boom fever" may result. IVe know the “boomers” now. Wo spotted itlhom when they came before and Uhe records Which they left behind are still in ex WHERE THB BLAME BELONGS. Senator Vent's couducf In tlie sonoite the other day was altogether out of keeping with his professions two years ago or more. He was a great Cleve land man tis Tong as Cleveland was In the heyday of his popularity, but now tha* Cleveland is the most thoroughly abused man In America, this same Sen ator Vest seems to vrtbi to heap the abuse a little higher titan anybody else. It Is not the course of a brave man— this Jumping on a man-when he is down—and Senator Vest, -we predict, will get -little glory out o-f this perform ance ait Washington. What seems to bo the truth of the down. Ho is bring cried at and cursed by a very targe proportion of congress a.nd some of the weak-kneed Democrats among them accuse him of wrecking the Democratic party. This Is cot lire first time he htas Stood up under file same kind of abuse. When he wenlt out of office In 1888 he was ithe butt of every profiwsonal politician In the par ty, hut he “bobbed up very serenely” in 1802 a nd led the party to Wire greatest victory over known In American poli tics. Now, whtit are these howlers howling about? libs any one or any sot of them iydt devised a scheme for finan cial -roliof -that was acceiptalil.' or would worthy »f acceptance or enactment into law?

She will also have the prestige of success. iluatemalti, on her side, has been in judicious, us often before. She was foolish when, under Barrios, She sought to drive the either repubEes of Central America Into a uul-on, with Ivor as leader; and again in her hi sc war with Untie Salvador, when she was beaten. How she can exipedt to tackle success fully her big northern neighbor is not olear, and ydt, instead of proceeding oiutfotisly and suavely, she has burned Mexico's property on the disputed 'tract and angered Mexico by her conduct of the whole affair. It la doubtful whether war can now be avoided unless she backs down, arid either accepts Mex ico's 'terms or as -much, of them us Mex ico Insists upon. A MOVABLE EXHIBITION. One of the probable outcomes of the convention of -ruanuSiidiurerB in Cincin nati last week may We a movable exhi bition of American products In foreign countries. It Is proposed to hold an In dustrial Exposition in Cfnclnnatl next year, under the auspices of the Ns Konal Association of American Manu facturers. When this exposition shall have elided the design Is to move It from Cincinnati, wttta aCil Its exhibits, to -the City of Mexico, ami 'thence to the princtpa.1 elites of South America, Should Uhe project be realized to such cuil there would be no reason why the exposition Should not be car ried all around the world—to 'Melbourne and Sydney, to»Yokohama and to tha grealt cities of Europe. Iu the manufactures of wire and steel, Including steam engines, machinery, ag ricultural Imploments, firearms, sewing machine* and -tooils; in carriages and wagons, and In household furniture, be sides tnmimettible products of mechan ical skill awl Ingenuity, this country distances compettltlon. Such an expo sition as is proposed by tho National Association of Manufacturers would greatly s-bnulatcithe demand for Amer- Irati Industrial products throughout the world’s markets. Its educational effect upon our merchants and manufacturers in 'teaching the best means of meeting the needs and 'tadtei of foreign custom ers would be Invaluable. This mov able exposition would at the same 'time greatly 'tend to diminish -the foolish fears of Ithe spook of foreign competi tion by demonstrating that in a vast range of industrial products, requiring the best skill and tire most complete organization of labor and paying the highest wages, Jbe foreigners are "not In ft” with American manufacturers anil workingmen. 'When oncedn mo tion we predict for the traveling expo sition of American mamiflaotures great success. Ttre conception Is worthy of the liberal spirit of American enter prise. purpose of maintaining tho legal re serve of gold in the treasury are not of the proper character. They hoar a are of ewtacpst entirely out of Voep'wr with the times, end the only hope of die officials is that the premium on them shall be sufficiently high as to tnako the rate of Interest within rea son. Th«io v -bonds should never have been Issued but for the necessity of maintaining a reservo for ihe payment of treasury notes which are redeemable In gold on presentation. Tlie treasury notes are presented and nro put again into circulation, and nothing short of some provision for tho retirement tf them will stop this outflow of gdd from the treasury. If the reserve Is to be maintained, ond "t\re ttw says it must be, then there is no resource ltut the issue of bonds and that process un der existing conditions Is Interminable and of the most dangerous character. The new bonds, being of small de nominations, will be taken, not by spec-, ulators, but by people of all classes who have money to Invest, for although the rate of Interest Is not high. It Is sufficient to make the securities desira ble since the guarantee of the govern ment Is behind them to make them safe. Another good recommendation In tho message Is the retirement of silver cer tificates and national bank bills of higher denominations than ten dollars. This would Insure the circulation of silver either In the form of smaller cer tificates or of the coin Itself. While this will hardly be satisfactory to thoso advocates of silver who think that nothing short of free coinage will suffico to put that metal on Its proper footing it is a recognition of the principle that has been always advocated by the Democratic party of having n currency in which hath metals ahall be on the same footing.

The situation presented at present Is a grave ono and If must be rendered loss serious. In our opinion, tho presi dent has recommended a arise course. Some means for the retirement of treasury notes must be provided sooner or later, snd while the Issue of govern ment bonds is under no circumstances a desirable step, It Is tbo only alterna tive presented . except the breaking down of the govcirnnient credit by a re fusal to pay Its promises in gold.

Tho work was undertaken by Mr. Smith as an official of the bureau, with the cor dial support of the Telegraph and Ma con's citizens hive responded most lib erally.

We want to make Macon a great manufacturing centre and tbe best of our citizens are Inclined our way. And oven without the help of the Telegraph they would bo able to do so.
