A bright Georgia Editor common
ting upon the great question Of the
day Labor and Capital proposes the
following way out Of the dilemma:
.sThe only way out Of the difficulty
| Is 10 abolish the national banks is-
sue greenbaoks instead Of their issue
let capitalists bank upon their own
capital, or put their money into i'm
proyments Of realty and manufactur
ing, or keep it 10 their vaults at their
own expense, as they please; make
gold, silver and grecnbacks alike q
legal tender for all debts, local and
national; thus entirely wiping out
the business or tho Shylocks and
money changes Of Wall Street and
elsewhere upon tho soil of America
This will revive legitimate business
all over the land give employment
to labor; stop the growing spirit Of
communism and best Of all, feed the
starving children Of the working man
and weman of the mine, the factory
and the workshop, What il Secre>
tary Sherman's millions do not pay
80 large a dividend, drawn from the
u. S. treasury, or tho national ban,
ker count his gains by millions from
the same source 7 He and they can
live a few years upon smaller in
terest, or even il they have to slice
off from The principal for while, i
will be- better for all concerned than
10 dampen the ground Of this great
country with the blood Of commun>
ism, Molly Mcguire bread riots, pri,
vaie murdsrers, and midnigh. crimes.
The people of any country win have
bread or blood, and the man or party

WHAT PrTrsBURo LOST By THH
Riot.


The Pi.ssburg Telegraph puts the
loss to the city by the recent riots
at not less than $40 0e0,O0O. The
editor adds: IS /
For the twenty hours that the mob
held possession Of the city, each hour
saw moi less. than million Of dollars
swept out Of existence. Twenty
millions, indeed, will hardly cover
the losses IN money. Almost, il NOT
quite, half that amount, was directly
consumed along the two miles Of
flames aud smoke and riot and pill
lage. What the consequential dana
ges viii be canno. yet be estimated,
but they win Tar exceed the direct
losses sustained in the very heart oil
the city. OF the losses in a moral
point Of view we need not speak Al
ary length. II will be years before
our city will recover from the effects
Of the late reign Of mObocsacy. Its
fruits win crop out for months and
years to cone ia, the calendars Of the
criminal courts !; hundreds Of half
grown boys learned . lesson that
never should have been learned, and
in q moment became adopts in the
school Of incendiarism. The lesson
is terrible Ons to all good citizens,
but if improved it viii not have beer
altogether in vain. Having seer

ADvANrAons OF THn SOUTH.

A Northern gentleman OF culture

ter prejudice against the South, after
extepsivs travel add prolonged So
iourn in the Southern States, writes
thus Of the inducements they offer 70
Northerners for residence and for the
investment Of capital in agricultural,
horticultural, mining and msnufac-
turing enterprises; and also beats
strong testimony to the kindsess and
magnanimity Of the Southern peO-
pie:
at is o fact which | have ascer-
tanned, after a careful observation,
that 10 every Southern State good,
| rich agricultural lands, capable Of
! producing the finest and most prof,
table crops ofcotton, rice. sugar cane,
wheat, corn, oats, barley, and the
most luxurious fruits OF temperate
and semi tronical zones, can be pur-
chased for from So 10 SIS per acre,
according to condition, location and
market facilities. Indaed, found
some large landowners who agree to
give good warranty deeds for farms
Of 100 acres each to parties from
Ohio or other Western States who
will settle on the farms and give
them proper cultivation. The desire
of Southern land owners and busi-
ness men 10 have Western and Nor
thern men bring their families, for
tunes and skilled labor for the pdr>
poses Of farming, gardening, stock
growing, merchandising and nanu>
featuring, is really astonishing
Such would be everywhere most
gladly welcomed.
But innocent minded people Of the
| North, who have been deluded by
| The malicious ISLANDERS and falsehoods
of Morton, Blaine, and other polite
clans of that ilk, are fearful Of insult
and danger, with all that those words
imply, should they cast their decti

was never made. During the past
