Tilden Club.” Associated with Cleveland in the incorporation of this club are David B. Hill, Daniel S. Lamont, William C. Whitney and others who have been prominent in democratic poli tics. It is suggested by the incor porators that this club is to be the pioneer in the movement suggested by Grover Cleveland for "the re organization of Democracy, and to promulgate true democratic princi ples throughout the United States. However pure the purpose of these gentlemen might be, the idea is suggested that they intend to be “the men who control:” Incorpor ated politics is repugnant to the masses of the people. Articles of incorporation at once suggest the idea of corporate gian, and personal profit for those who control, with the people to furnish everything ex cept the management, and to get nothing m the way of benefit or emolument. This is antagonistic to the fundamental principles of the democracy that alone can sustain and perpetuate a true republic. True to to their instinct and prac tice as money getters, these incor porators are seemingly preparing to try the syndidate plan in politics in order that they share tho political profits directly, or to control their distribution. Unfortunately, this country has already suffered much by the results of syndicated politics. If these incorporators, Hill and a few others excepted, had combined- withe the demcratic party last fall with earnest energy, instead of* de serting to the enemy, there would be no opportunity now to talk about a losing democracy. A deserter while the battle is on commits a most grievous violation of honor and law, and it is the rank est presumption for such a person to even suggest reorganization when the forces h’e deserted have lost the fight. - The people don’t want syndicated leaders, nor incorporated politics. Knowing they will furnish*the votes, the people will demand, and enforce it, a voice in choosing the leaders. Perhaps Mr. Cleveland may call his incorporated club the means of giving the rank and file a chance.” There is rank heresy in his proposi tion, and the people will produce a file to cut through the chain with which he seeks to bind them. A chance the people will have,but not any incorporated politics. Philip D. Armour, the millionaire philanthropist,head of meat-packing business of the Armour company, died several days ago at his home in Chicago.

' Within one day last week business men of Atlanta subscribed $8,500 to the Georgia School of Technology to provide needed buildings and equipment urgently neqded. This subscription will be largely in creased. The Atlanta Constitution offers ,500 in cash to the agents who se cure the greatest number of Weekly subscriptions during the first three months of the twentieth century. There is no need for us to extol the merits of the Weekly Constitu tion, as it stands in the front rank of family papers. The details of the contest are giv en in a large advertisement on an other page of this paper. The Constitution wants good agents everywhere, and good men can make money taking subscrip tions.

His friends It is estimated by the United States mint director that the total amount of money in the world is $11,600,000,000, and that the in crease has been nearly 200 per cent, mostly metallic, within less than a generation. \ Evidently there are not affew men Who desire a further decrease in the price of cotton. As a means to that end, there have recently been fre quent declarations that an unusually large. amount of cotton is being held unsold in the warehouses and on the farms. While this announcement, so often repeated, is evidently intended to reduce the price, or prevent its rise, it is, if true, an evidence of a greater degree of prosperity among the farmers than •within recent years. Heretofore very few of them have been able to hold their cotton.- During the year 1900 the estima- mated production of gold in the United States was $79,322,281, and of silver $36,362,431. The aggre gate weight of the gold is given at 3,837,213 fine ounces/and of silver 59,610,543 fine ounces. The increase in the production of gold over the year 1899 was more than nine mil lion dollars in value, while there was a decrease of over five million ounces in the production of silver.
