A TIMELY WoRD.-The New York
World says the financial forebodings
which find utterance in nearly every
newspaper that reaches US, show that
the predictions of disaster upon the
contraction of the currency were well
grounded, despite the cry ut the time
OF making them that they we're eds
loyal. Very naturally, the sufferers
first appeal to Congress for reduc-
ton IN the rate of taxation. This is
well enough as far as it goes, but the
apprehcnded troubles are an inevita-
BILE result of changing from an in
hated paper currency to specie
basis. Prudent people will curtail
their expenses and keep a reserve of
cash on hand until the future looks
brighter than it does at present.

1t is something more than indelicate

to retail, of one in his situation, the

felt in Mr.. Davis by his friends makes
them covet such communications but
they should remember that men who
thirst for his blood are listening too,
and eager to turn everything that
will admit of it to his disadvantage.

WHAT THADEUs STEVENS IS Dome.
The Washington correspondent of q
rebel paper says:
Mr.. Stevens is preparing some i'm
portant measures, which will be in
troduced Immediately on the assem-
bling of Congress. They look to
radical changes both in Executive
and Judicial quarters. The recent
decision of the Supreme Court in re-
gard to military trials, together with
the report of other important decis-
ions shortly to follow, in which it is
alleged they intend to declare several
laws now on the statute book uncon-
stitutional, have produced a feeling of
alarm. Several able jurists in both
Houses are seriously considering the
propriety of Congress taking immedi-
ate action to avert serious dangers.
The President is said to have confer
red with several of the Judges Of the
Supreme Court in regard to the posi-
tions assumed by Congress toward
the Southern States. When he an
nounced to the commission from
South Carolina, Mr.. Weatherly, that
the Supreme Court would declare the
amendment unconstitutional, he is
thought to have spoken by the card.

The CoTroS SuppnY-SourHERs
DEsTITUTIoN.-Joseph J. Manson &
Co., st. Louis, has recently made a

views as to the cotton supply of 1866.

Reasons are given in detail for this
conclusion. In concluding his letter
Mr.. Manson, speaking Of the pecu-
mary condition of the people, says:
"1n almost all the country through
which [ passed, want and destitution
existed, and the general cry was:
How shall we sustain ourselves
during the winter?' The question
was repeatedly pnt to me, why could
not your merchants Of the West send
us corn and pork to supply our actual
necessities? And we will in return
mortgage our plantations, property,
and all we possess to secure them
from loss

Gimcracks and Greenbacks.

Readers of the daily papers must
have noticed the great number of
advertisements in them for the last
fortnight, in which dealers call par
ticular attention to the fact that they
are selling their wares ut cost. and in
some instances below cost. The
truth is, that the demand for fancy
articles has been over-estimated, and
as o consequence, there is prospect
that large quantities of them will
remain unsold after the holidays, and
the merchants, in the hope of
securing themselves against loss, are
selling their goods at lower figures
than they had intended. Two years,
or even one year ago, the higher the
price of an article of luxury, the
more readily would it sell; but now
the more costly specimens Of jewel
lery and re7tu go o begging for pur-
chasers.
1t is just dawning upon the minds
of the people that greenbacks are not
specie, decisions of partisan judges
to the contrary Notwithstanding and
they are beginning to feel poor This
feeling is due partly to the contrac-
ton OF the currency, partly to the
general depression in business for
two months past, and partly to the
high rate OF taxation imposed by the
General Government. If this gene
ration is to be made to pay off the
national debt, as is gravely proposed
by Secreretary McCulloch in his
recent annual report, the men and
women who compose it may as well
make up their minds to practice the
most rigid economy for several years
to come. So long as the currency is
inflated it is easy to pay heavy taxes;
but, when the process of contraction
is begun, the payment becomes a
grievous burden; and it may be safely
predicted that, if the burden now
imposed upon the people is not
Ightened, the revenue to the Govern
ment from this source viii be smaller
next year than it was last year. viii
not Congress think Of this when
amendments to the internal revenue
are considered?-Ne,c York World.

Friday Morning, January 4, 1867.
Manufacturing, North md South.

Ffloay morning, January 4, 1901.
Manufacturing, North md South.
A brief paragraph has already an
nounced that the wooden factories in
Connecticut have all gone to working
half-time, and in other branches of
New England manufactures, the cla-
NOR for additional protection. This
clamor has now reached the iron work
ers of Pittsburg, who, it is stated, as-
sert that unless Congress does some
thing for them in this way, many of
them will be ruined. Alta meeting held
at Pittsburg, on the 9th nlt, If was
generally agreed to stop their mills
within the next two weeks. This
action, it is alleged, is forced upon
them by the fact that there is little or
no demand for manufactured iron,
and mill owners do not seem disposed
to carry heavy stocks. The prospects
of manufactures. in the vicinity of
Pittsburg are gloomy, especially
among the iron masters, and they
therefore call for strong protective
tariff.
These iron mongers of Pennsyl-
vania are to blame, themselves, for
much, if not all the depression in
their business, that they now expe-
rience. They send men to Con-
gress-and their constituents sustain
them in such a line of policy-who
care little for the commercial or manu-
featuring interests of the country.
The everlasting question of the status
of the negro occupies all the time of
these legislators, with Thad. Stevens,
an iron master himself, at their head.
By fostering sectional ill-feeling, in
their unjust legislation towards the
Southern States, they destroy that
confidence in the political stability of
public affairs, which capital always
demands before entering upon enter
prises, public or private And it is
this unsettled condition of the coun-
try which is working the evils they
complain of. 1t is not a higher tariff
on any manufactured article that the
country needs now for her prosperity,
but simply peace, harmony, and re-
storation, complete and full, with the
rights of no section disregarded.
On the other hand, at the South,
we notice the springing up of new
manufacturing enterprises. Cotton
mills, not only for the manufacture of
yarn and the coarser qualities of
goods, but fpr The finer descriptions.
Foundries and machine shops will
soon dot the whole Southern country;
and now we notice by the Heruld,
published in Elyton, jefferson Coun
ty, Alabama, that works are in the
course or construction III that neigh
borhood for the manufacture OF rail
road iron, out Of the native ore, which
is found there in inexhanstible abun-
dance. At Chattanooga and Atlanta,
they have had rolling mills for the
purpose of rolling rail-, out OF old
iron, bat at no place in the South, if
indeed in any section, have they been
making railroad iron out of native
ore, and coal found in the vicinity.
The springing up OF such enter
prlses, IS q matter of great gratitica-
tion, and will eventually result in indie
pendence in all the material interests
which make people great and pros
porous.
