GLOOMY PIospEcT.-Thc New York
u; al, .,
of next December, at least one hundred
thousand persons in the city of New York
will be out of employment and nearly out
means. The ship yards in New York are
nearly idle, the founderics but half-work-
ing, and the great clothing stores doing
very little. 1T is stated that women have
recently come to New York from places
three huadrcd miles away in quest of work
from the clothing stores, only to be turned
off with none and compelled to beg their
way home again. The Tribune adds that
places have looked for servant girls for
some time past; soon servant girls will
look earnestly for places, and be very GLAD
to find them. 1t is predicted that soul
houses for hungry laborcrs who can find NJ
labor, will be wanted before January. The
Journal of Commerce is of opinion thai
hardly, since 1887, has so gloomy pros
pcct for winter lowered upon the laborine
classes of New York.
SoUTu CAROLINA DEMocRAcY.-Tht
Charleston Mercury has labored hard t.
produce division among the Democrats o
South Carolina, but it's efforts have boor
utterly vain. The Democrats of Soutl
Carolina are the people of South Carolina
Their principles are those of the purcs
Democratic school, The doctrine Of Stat
Rights is the cornerstone of thcir fi,ith-
The advancement of Southern Rights is tin
absorbing object Of their care. If the,
choose to act with the National Democracy
it is to conserve the former and promote tn
latter. Let the Mercury and its clique dc
claim as they list, the people know thci
duty and will go straight forward in tn
discharge of it. They understand an,
appreciate their true position before tn
South, and regard not the empty taunt
upon their so-called dcscrtion of tho isolate
ground heretofore occupiedby South Care
, lima. They arc i'll the direct course of ct
fectual cooperation with their friends an
brothers of the South, and they arc not t
be diverted theretrom by the provokin
filings of those who seem to conceive them
selves the peculiar guardians of all that
| lofty and honorable. amongst us. Least G
t all are they to be shaken in their prttdcn
: and patriotic resolves by the Mercury,
f paper which is now believed by many {
represent but small portion of the Demo
cratic voters of Charleston, and which Gel
tanly,s not now n correct exponent of th
ponu1ar mind of Sonth Carolina.
