Everybody reads THE SUN. In the editions of this
newspaper throughout the year to come ever ybody
will find:
l. All the worlds news so presented that the
reader will get the greatest amount of information
with the least unprsfitable expenditure of time and
eyesght. THE sun long ago discovered the golden
mean between redundant fulness and unsatisfactory
brevity.
II. Much of that sort OF news which depends less
upon its recognized Importance than upon its inter-
est to mankind. From morning to morning THE
Sun prints continued story of the lives of rea men
and women, and of their deeds, plans, loves hates
and troubles. This story is more varied and more
interesting than any romance that was devised
I'LL Good writing in every column, and freshness
originality, accuracy, and decorum in the treatment
of every subject.
". Honest comment THE SUNS habit is to speak
out fearlessly about men and things.
V. Equal candor in dealing with each political
party, and equal readiness to commend what is
praiseworthy or to rebuke what is blamable in Dem
ocrat or Republican.
vi. Absolute independence of partisan organiza-
tions, but unwavering loyalty to true Democratic
principles THE sun believes hat the Government
which the Constitution ives us is a good one to
keep. Its notion of duty is to resist to it's utmost
power the efforts of men in the Republican party
which exists The wear 1881 and the years imme-

and mild controversy between the Boston
Post and Albany Argus as to the practical

There seems to be about as much pro-

sOUTHERN MANUFACTURES,

1t was as we have heretofore remarked,
one of the maxims of the late Horace
Greely which he loved to insist upon
that no State nor country could be
either truly prosperous or independent
that did not make at home the great
bulk of its goods, wares and chattels
needed for the comfort and convenience
of its citizens. His high protective
tariff doctrines were based upon
what he deemed this principle,
but he dwelt with especial emphasis
upon the urgent need of the South es-
tablishing manufactures at home to
work up her cotton crop instead of send
ing the raw staple to Liverpool, Man
chester or to New England, and receiving
in return the manufactured fabrics. He
advocated what the STAR deems the
sound doctrine that double end would
be gained by the establishment of fac
tories near where the cotton ia
grown. The sparsely settled portions

of the South would soon be filed
with an industrious population and the
profits from the manufactured goods
would be treble ose of growing the raw
staple, thus enriching the people of the
Southern States instead of the English
and Eastern manufacturers
This view is, we are glad to see, being
practically adopted at the present time,
and has for some years been gradually
pushing its way into the cotton
States with the happiest results.
Mr.. Fontaine, Commissioner of Land
and Emigration for the State of Georgia,
asserts that no cotton mills in this or any
other country have paid equal dividends
orapproaching those declared by the mills
in Georgia in the past decade. The
water power of the Chattahoochee River
alone at Columbus-the Lowell of the
South-is unequaled as an investment
for manufacturing cotton, all things con-
sidered, in the United States. According
to Mr.. Fontaine the present number OF
spindles in the Southern States is as fol-
lows: Arkansas, 100; Alabama, 6S,000
Georgia, $4,000; Kentucky, 1924;
Louisiana, $500; Mississippi, 10000:
Maryland, $4,000; Missouri, 26,O0O;
North Carolina, $4,000; South Carolina,
$4,000; Texas, $500; Tennessee, 49,5OO;
Virginiarb2,O0O; making a grand total
of 6S7,2OO. tiir
Mr.. Fontaine adds that one company
at Columbus has built a mill employing
1900 operatives, all natiyes except the
foreman, and manufacturing over one
hundred varieties of goods. They con-
sumo $1,000 bales of cotton per annum,
and 800 pounds of washed wool daily,
paying out 100000 per annum.
Moreover, throughout the great sec
tion penetrated by our Southern Road
land is comparatively cheap, timber is
abundant; there is in many sections coal
and iron in the hills and the soil is much
of it almost as inexhaustible in its fer
tility as the delta of the Nile, while the
climate is free from the rigors of the
great Northwest where emigrants have
for the past twenty years been pouring
in an uninterrupted stream, making
the waste places blossom as the rose.
Why should not the people and the press
especially of this city unite to turn some
of this thrifty emigration into land
whose great future is so certain and
whose prosperity is to be SO indissolubly
linked to ours in the time to come?

The Delegates from each Congressional

We also respectfully recommend that
the several County Conventions to select

We recommend that efforts be made to
secure a large attendance at the meeting
to appoint Delegates, so that the people
shall be fairly represented in the State
Convention and that the Delegates be ap.
pointed on or before the Oath day OF
April.
The basis of representation in the Con.
