The art and science Of investing
labor and money in a way TO return a
safe and satisfactory interest On capt.
tai, whether little or much, should re-
ceive the earnest study OF every busi-
ness man English capitalists and
lab5ring people lead the civilized world
in this department Of useful knowl-
edge. When a nation gives existence
TO durable and very elastic muscles
made of steel, driven by steam, which
easily perform the dailytol Of SIX hun
dred million operatives, saving their
food and clothing, We may conclude
that the mind Of that nation has
graspcd the elements Of sound pro-
ductiye industry. There is net a pound
Of cotton grown within a thousand
miles Of England; yet thirty-four mil
lion spindles labor the year round to
double ndquadruplethe value o cotton.
Great Britain does not contain thirty
four million souls, SO that there is more
than one spindle to each man, woman
and chdd on the busy island, whose
cotton machinery works up one billion
three hundred and three million pounds
a year Of this our great Southern sta
pie. Should our cotton factories be
four thousand miles from cotton
fields: Certainly not, if Il pound Of
the fiber twisted into thread or yarn,
exported, viii bring as much as two
pounds Of raw cotton. This Is about
the way the trade now stands. If there
IS a difference from the above state
mg1t. 1t Is in favor of the thread, yarn
and clyth-not Of the farmers cotton.
The average cost Is ten dollars to get a
bale to the factory, without adding to
its weight or value.
IL making investments, whether Of
labor or money, particular attention
should be given to risks Of every kind.
The Georgia Direct Trade Union. com
posed IN part if not mainly Of cotton
growers, sent Mr.. VIM. II. LaWton as
an agent to England to obtain pecuni-
airy assistance IL the matter Of raising
and shipping cotton. In a letter ad-
dressed to Rev. G. W. Howard and
published IN the May number Of the
Rural CaroIintan, he says: 81 send
you a very important Gazette, pub
lished in London, by which you will
notice the profits Of cotton mills; they
are doing an immense business at this
time, and VIII not lend a pound to our
planters to aid IN making cotton"
Why not? Because these shrcwd
business men see at a glance that there
must be ten times greater risk in the

ALrOGETHER TOO UNANIMOUS.


AT the Schurz banquetth the other night,
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, Jr., natu-
rally spoke for the Independent voters
Of the country. "At times" he said,
''we dwell In every mans house; we are
Republicans to-day with Blaine in New
England and with chamberlain IN South
Carolina; Democrats tomorrow with
Tilden in Albany and with Bayard in
Delaware" And then he went tonic say
that wherever they, the Independent
voters, should find In the future the
nearest approach to political purity,
intelligence and integrity, there would
be their party.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Adams means well,
but as a representative of the indie
pendent voters of the United States
the same objection applies to him that
MIR. Jewell brought up against Sam,
Bard, the postmaster at Atlanta, name
ly, that he is altogether too unani-
nous, and sloshes around too much"
1t Is an unfortunate delusion Of the
Adams family that the whole world
ought to look at things through their
spectacles; but the idea of going to the
carpet-bag Governor of South Carolina
for an exemplar of political purity, In
telligence and integrity, is something
too absurd for this meridian, however II
may DO for Massachusetts,.
Who is this Gov. Chamberlain who
has suddenly blossomed out into such
q hourishing reformer? Heis a carpet
bagger, and has had very much to do
in imposing upon the people of South
Carolina nearly all Of those villainous
measures which have resulted in re-
duciag so many honest citizens to pow

in flooding the country with deprecia.

MAJ. RANKIN, the former State
Treasurer of Iowa, who is now on trial
for embezzlement, was a Union soldier.
He was three times elected State Treas
urer. TIE funds he is sad to have
stolen were taken from the Agricultu-
raj College and turned into the State
Treasury. Hence the difficulty Of the
prosecution in proving a case against
him. Three years ago no man in Iowa
stood fajrer. To-day" his counsel
says, "he is a man Of the past, having
neither wealth nor social standing.
Prematurely old, and possessing neither
memories Of the past nor anticipations
that can give him PLEASURE, he stands
at the bar of justice asking only a fair
trial."-Chicago Tribune.

was cotton, Of which we shipped
2,903,O75 bales, worth S211, 223, $50.
The bulk Of it went, Of course, to
England. Breadstuffs come next on
the list, and were consigned to. every
nation on the globe, save Austria, Den
mark, Greece, Norway and Sweden,
and Turkey. The value Of this export
was Sl61,l9S,S6+. Provisions other
than b~readstuffs come next. Including
bacon, beef, butter, etc., these exports
are valued at S78,3I7, O87. For dried
and green fruits we received S994,l63;
for iron, steel, machinery, and tools,
SI4,0OO,OOO; for agricultural imple-
ments, $685. 52. American books to
the value of S584,95O were sent out, as
