VERY PR0FITABLE.

4 correspondent Of the New York
Bulletin, writing from Columbus, Ga,
says there are forty-seven cotton mills
in the State, the large takings of
United States bonds at four per cent.
showing how difficult capitalists find it
to safely invest their incomes. Cot
ton manufacturing in the South offers
returns to jUdicious investors far ex-
ceeding the profits from railroads,
banks, or Governments or State stocks.
BIr. Stcadman, an experienced man
ufactrer Of cotton in Georgia, esti-
mates that small mill With a capital
Of one hundred thousand dollars can
make, as net earning per annum,
twenty-one and three-fourth per cent.
on the capital invested. In almost
any locality in the State cotton can be
gathered from the field, ginned at the
mill, and before night Of the second
day be manufactured into yarns, or
partly at least into cloths; the cost OF
bailing, bagging and ties being saved.
In addition, the cotton is presented to
the preparatory machines in q loose,
docculent state, far better suited to
the manufacture than that which has
/ endured for months the violent com
precision necessary for economical
shipment. So far as cotton manufac-
turing has been tried in this State, it
I has been an unquestionable success, Of
the goods. The contiguity to the raw
material, the adaptation Of the climate,
the cheapness Of motive power and
the low rate of wages are considera-
tons Of the most vital character.

THE ZEAL ISSUE.

Last Friday an iamense nass-meet-
ing was held at Chicago, representing
business men of the northwest ire
spectiye of party opinion, to project a
hard-mogoy organization. y declara-
ton of principles was made 70 the
people ct the Cnited States, setting
forth that there is an abundance of
money in the country and no further
iasuc Of currency is needed. The
national Democracy must plant itself
squarely in opposition to such views
and show that its principles are the
sure and safe defense of labor. If We
as party fail to meet the demands Of
the hour on the money question, and
turn deaf ear to the pleadings Of
distressed industry, VIC viii forfeit the
adherence OF the masses and be Ger
tainly kicked out Of the way is 50
much useless political lumber. The
people cry out Tor cheap money, and
plenty OF it, as in contradistinction
from the dear and scarce money Of the
goldocracy.
The Memphis Appeal and the Lou
isville Courier-J ournal are now nausea
ted by Abram Hewctt and his eastern
! hard-moneyites. They see that sue
i cess to US as a party in 1880 is wrapped
up in the money question. We can
not be Tildenized in 1880 and be sue
ceasftl. The people are moving on a
line of direct antagonism to the East
on finances. No other question is be
fore them for consideration and action
The country is at peace with itself anc
all the world, and this domestic issue
is alone the disturbing factor between
parties. The national Democracy
must be controlled and worked by
western and southern money ideas, o.
it will be defeated. We have no al
tentative but to accept the gauge o
battle and move forward to win a Clio
rious victory in 1880 fer labor in al
its varied phases. We cannot afort
to hesitate. We must show the poo
pie that Democracy is able and willin:
to protect and preserve the interests o
labor in the present struggle with tn
money power.

beautiful words to a Bride.

The Wheat Outlook in Tennessee.

GaIlatin Examiner: Our infcrma-
ton from all quarters Is that the
wheat continues to look well.
Gallatin Tepnessaeqn: The corn
crop viii likely be smaller than usual,
as most Of the land is in wheat.
Milan Exchange: 1t is said that the
wheat crop was never more promising
than now. Farmers are turning their
cattle and horses on their wheat to
keep it back.
Savannah Transcript: There is more
wheat planted in this county now
than there has been in several years,
and the prospects are very fine for Il
full crop.
Lynchbwg Sentinel: The growing
wheat crop looks very promising at
present, and with no drawbacks be
tween this and harvest, we look for
n large yield. Prices, we fear, will be
low.
Manchester Guardian: Wheat is
forward this season beyond experience,
and farmers are cndcavoring to keep
it back by pasturine heavily, which Is,
to say the least, Of doubtful propriety.
GAINESVILLE Chronicle: We learn
that the wheat crop in this and the
surrounding countries, Is looking IN
usually well, and ifnothing happens TO
injure it between now and harvest
time there viii a heavy crop garnered.

The Kind of Religion We Want.

We want.a religion that softens the step,
tunes the voice to melody, and fills the eye
with sunshine, and checks the impatient
exclamation and harsh rebuke; religion
that is polite, deferential to Supporters, cour-
teous to interiors, and considerable to friends;
4 religion that goes into the family and
keeps the husband from being cross when
dinner is late, and keeps the wife from fret
ting when the husband tracks the newly
washed floor with muddy boots, and makes
the husband mindful OF the scraper and
door-mats; keeps the mother patient when
the baby is cross, and amuses the children
as well as instructs them; cares for the ser
wants, besides paying them promptly; pro
jects the honeymoon into the harvest-moon,
and makes the happy bosom like the eastern
fig tree, bearing in its bosom at once the
beauty OF the tender blossom and the glory
Of the ripeued fruit. We want a religion
that shall interpose between the ruts and
the gullies and the rocks of the highway of
life and the sensitive souls that arc travelling
over them

THE RIGHT TALK,

Democratic sentiment in the South
and West Is crystalizing into a COM
pact and homogeneous opposition to
the further demands Of those in our
party who would fix letters upon pro-
perty and labor in the interest Of the
money power. The East Is the money
worshiPping part Of the national De
mocracy. It's allies may be found
scattered in spots all over the country,
ready at a signal to DO the bidding OF
their II asters. That section Of our
party has been and is now as unrelent-
ing in its antagonism to the rights Of
life and labor as the bittcrest Repub-
lican. Federal legislation shows with
unerring gertrude that labor has no
rights which the money power is bound
to respect.
Abiding 70 those party leaders IN
the East, West and South, who are
active supporters Of the goidocracy.
the Memphis Appeal Of the fourteenth
says: "Of one thing they may fee
assured: unless they can sympathiz(
with the ideas and sentiments expressed
by the Democracy of the West anC
South, the sooner they find other party
affiliations, the better" We are glac
to know that our esteemed contempt
rary is thus decided in its loyalty t,
the true needs of the South and West
