Having ered, or believing we had discover- ed, the ‘greenback’ to be a powerful help in time of war, we were easily led to believe in it as a blessed agency in time of peace. The greenback became associated in the sentiment of our peo- ple with things sacred. “We now have in circulation among th? people and as a reserve fund in the banks $346,000,000 of Government notes. They constitute an enormous public debt, payable on demand. We have, or will soon have, substantially $600,000,000 of silver or paper repre- sentatives of silver, whose parity with gold value the Government is under obligation to maintain. The ultimate measure of this obligation is the dif ference between the commerical value of the money metal and the face value at which it circulates. This difference is not far from $300.000,000. “We have a system of bank note cur- rency whose volume is but faintly re- lated to the needs of the community, which a properly SOBStIN ted bank currency most economicall It is now controlled as to is Boe by the price of interest-bearing United States bonds in Wall “Our independent the circulating mec business me again to disburse it when nues, the effect of industrial di bring about an excess in expenditures Industrial activity increases the publi revenue, but is checked if not throttled by its enlarged to th idle funds in the Treasury. “It is these sald the Sec- retary, “which brought our indus trial and « life : dangerous finances This marri these two whom Goo ir gether nil t to be put asunder not by any 3 Dakota divorcee method is th i tion to be accom- plished.

Some explanation, however, was of the extraordinary tangle in which the Chinese negotiations have been mixed up, and rome and various European capitals. It appears that over a week ago, the Powers came to an agreement to elim- the word “irrevocable” from the note. Then, when it was be- that everything had been set- tied, objections were rajsed; and Great Britain, for the sake of harmony, al- though much against her will, agreed “Irrevocable” clause.

Officials there profess to rather at Rea to whether the conditions are irrevocable or otherwise, Indi- cations point to their being irrevocable.

The progress of the South in cotton manufacturing has been marvelous in the last five years. Prior to that time the bulk of the Southern cotton crop went to New and old England to be transformed into finished products and resold to the inhabitants of this sec tion at greatly advanced prices, A campaign of education along this line was inaugurated, and as a result a large part of the staple is now sold to local mills at good prices. Cotton goods have decreased in price to the local consumer and money that formerly went abroad stays at home, in addition to this, the South is reaching out and selling its products in foreign countries, South Carolina and Georgia do a thriving trade with the Orient in the matter of rough cot- ton goods, If plans at present under way are matured—and there is every prospect of such a consummation many local capitalists will so increase thelr facilities that goods of a higher grade may be manufactured and the foundation lald for the capturing of the bulk of the trade of this and other countries, EMO ls RE Loot to be Sent Back.
