unless Its equivalent in exchange had been
bought previous to the rise. Sixty GSys'
sterling is now above 1O7, and thereforS
gold can only be imported at . loss
II is therefore reasonable to assume that
II exchange keeps up, which 1t is more
likely to do than not, we have seen
nearly If not quite the last of these coin
shipments to the United States II is need
less to say that If the movement had been
natural instead OF an artificial one, We
should have had cause TO be glad Of so sub
stantial turn of the exchanges in our favor.
But as 1t Is, the movement possesses . merely
speculative interest, and most OF the coin sent
to us being the property Of persons abroad, it
IL liable to be returned to them at any time.
That the foreign exchanges, SO far as actual
trade is concerned, are running heavily against
MS, the returns Of this port sufficiently show.
While the foreign imports from January to
September l Of the present year were valued
at $220, ,222, 1916 in specie, the exports during
the same time and up to the 4th inst. were
valued at only $l37,l6S,8s2. II is needless to
continue she argument further, as we have said
enough to show that those who have vaguely
expected great results to arise from the Inn
portati0n OF specie from Europe have been
building houses on the sand or castles in the
air.

Reasons WHY THE
AMERICAN WATcH
Made at Waltham, Mass,
is THE BEST.


1t is m,de GA the best principle. Its frame is
composed OF solid phtes. No jar can interfere
with the harmony of iIs working and no sudden
shock can damage its machinery. Every piece 10
made and finished by machinery Itself famous for
its novelty, as well Tor its efectveness) and 10
therefore properly made. The watch 10 what all
mechanism should be-Accurate, Simple, Strsng
and Economical. Except some high grades, too
costly for general use, foreign watches chiefly
made by women and boys. Such watches
composed of several hundred pieces, screwed
and riveted together, and require constant repairs
to keep them any kind of order. All persons
who have carried ssancres, % tlepnes'' and ssEng
lsh Patent Levers, }" are perfectly well aware of
the truth of this statement. '
AT the beginning ofour enterprise, more than ten
years ago, 1t was our first object to make thor
oughly good low priced watch for the million, to
take the place of these foreign inpositions-the
refuse of foreign factories-whc were entirely
unstable al home and perfectly worthless every
where.
How well we have accomplished this may be
understood from the tact, that after many years
OF public trial, we now make more than half of all
the watches sold in the United States, and that o
others have ever given such universal satisfaction.
While this department of our business Is contin-
ued with increased facilities for perfect work we
are at present engaged in the manufacture OF
watches OF the very highest grade known TO
ehronometry, unequalled by anything hitherto
made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by anything
made in the world. For this purpose we have
the ampiest facilities. We have erected an addi-
ton to our main building expressly for thisbranch
OF our business, and have filled 1t with the best
workmen in our service. New machines and ap-
planes have been constructed, which perform
their work with consummate delicacy and exact
ness. The choicest and most approved materials
only are used and challenge comparison be
tween this grade of our work and the finest i'm
ported chronometers. We do not pretend to sell
our watches for less money than foreign watches B.,
but 60 assert without lear of contradiction
that Tor the same money our product 10 incompar.
ably superior. All watches, Of whatever
grade, are Ally warranted and this warrantee i,
| good at all times against US or our agents in all
| parts of the world.
CAuTIoS.-The public are cautioned to buy on
ly of respectable dealers. All persons selling
counterfeits will be prosecuted.

THE DOCTRINE OF SECESSION i.

Secession as practical doctrine ever to be
resorted to is almost utterly abandoned. It
was submitted to and failed before the ordeal
of battle. Nor can the undersigned imagine
why, if it's revival ~ anticipated as possible,
the committee have not recommended an am
endment to the constitution, guarding against
it In terms. Such an amendment it cannot
be doubted, the southern as we'll as northern
states would cheerfuily adopt. The Omission
of such Recommendation ia pregnant evil
dence that secession, as q constitutional right,
is thought by the ma ority of the committee
to be practically mere thing of the past, as
all the proof taken by them shows it to be in
the opinion of all the leading southern men,
who hitherto entertained it. The desolation
around them, the hecatombs of their own
slain, the stern patriotism of the men of the
other states, exhibited by unlimited expendi-
ture of treasure and of blood and their love
of the Union so sincere and deep-seated that
it ia seen they will hazard all to maintain il
have convinced the south that as a practical
ascsrine secession is exsinguished forever--
otass secession then abandoned. and slavery

RAD ADYIOE

In consequence of the great scarcity OF money
NJ the South. many farms and parts OF farms
are offered for sale. Thus state OF anIirs serves
as a text for some of the disaffected news
papers in that section from which to preach
lugubrious sermons They deplore the neces-
siiy which leads the land owners to sell, and
mourn because there is a probability of Y ankees
buying .'Don't sell your land" Is the advice
which they tender. This is all very well If
regard is only nad to the present interests of a
few holders of large estates in the Soath, but is
the worst advice possible, IL the country is to
be ceyeloped by free labor. Virginia, once the
leading State in population and wealth, stood
at the last census, 9th on the list, while States
with not half her resourees-agricultural and
mineral have gone ahead. Whyl Mainly
because Virginia, in comI-on with other
Southern States, was divided into large planta-
tions. cultivated by inefficient slave labor;
while her competitors Were peopled by an
industrious white population, actively en-
gagged in agricultural, mining, and pas
toral pursuits. Take an estate of one
thousand acres as imperfectly cultivated by
a slave gang. and divide il into ten farms of
one hundred acres each, cultivated by free
families, and the production of the land is not
only increased, but an impetus given to trade
10 supply these families with many articles
Tor their comfort and support which are not
deemed essential TO the we'll being of slaves
The South has undeniable natural advantages
and free labor will yet, in spite of all obstacles
make that section formidable rival of the
North in the race of improvement. The people
there viii not always be lead astray by n class
of men, who to perpetuate their own personal
Influence, are willing TO sacrifice the public
interest by keeping up local preJudices.

FOOD AND CROPS IN ALABAMA


The Assistant Commissioner OF Freedmen,s !
Affairs In the State Of Alabama, has written tn
the Commissioner the result of his iuouirias
made in accordance with the iastrpc,ions of
the latter to report the number of persons re.
curing seed corn, and the quantity of land to
be seeded. He states that lists of the persons
above mentioned are being made out. but th,,
the result OF the collateral inquiries mas salts
ned him that not only is the season already
much too far advanced for any useful cuItiVa.
tion OF seed grown this year, but that no such
distribution need be provided for. The grain
crop OF this year will, the General thinks
reach nearly the average before the war. both
IN quantity and quality; and il not wholly
consumed by immediate necessity for food.
vii! doubtless meet all future requirements for
seed. That it will not be wholly Consumed is
inferred from the sharp experience they have
had OF the necessity for seed: from the fact
that most OF the persons who have grain crons
have also little cotton, which will afY,rd
them relief before the corn, which is their
principal crop, is ripe; and from the further
tact that Gov. Patton will leave in a fe W days
for St. Louis and Chicago, where il is honed
he will be able to purchase large supply of
corn with which to supplement the food issnsd
by the Government.
