Facts Worth Considering.


The substantial, we'll authenticated d
facts contained in the following brief
article, which we copy from the CIeve-
land Penny Press, are a fall and com.
plete answer to The silly twaddle that
forms the burden Of the speeches OF
Republican orators. ..r.g ..aIts 1si,Ha
.:The Southern people, through their
industry, have raised more sugar, cot
ton and tobacco this season than they
ever did before. They have found q
ready market for these products at q
good price. Their sales OF cotton
alone bring more gold into the United
States than all the other experts OF
this country combined. This gold finds
its way directly from the south to the
north, the latter manufacturing all the
machinery, clothing; ETC., used by the
southerners. This gold is also used
by the southerners to buy their flour
and many groceEies and provisions in
the north. The trade between the
north and south has thus been more
than trebled within the past tour years.
This commercial intercourse bet cen
the two sections has materially set at
rest the bitter feeling which existed
for several years following; the civil
war. Business men all over the north
realize that the money taken into the
south for sugar, cotton and tobacco,
finds its way into their pockets in the
end. They also realize that those firms,
companies aud corporations, in the
north which treat their southern Gus!
toners like brothers of the one nation
al family are the ones Which secure
the most southern gold. This fact has
greater influence W ith northern. mer
chants OF business foresight than all

solid SOUTH rebel claims, payment
of the rebel debt and payment for
rebel slaves The true patriot will
not try 10 disturb the peace and busi-
ness prosperity OF the country by stir
ring up old animosities long since
rightly, settled. The politician who
will do il for his party or his own pO-
litical preferment, is not to be trusted.
The south is a vital portion of the ma.
ton as much as the stomach is of the
body. Ii the stomach is diseased and
disturbed, The whole body suffers for
want of proper nOurishment.a Ii the
south, which now, through its inn
mense sales of cotton, is the chief
nOurishment of the nation, is disturb
ed and thrown into chaos again by a
lot of unpatriotic politicians, the whole
nation will suffer. The laboring man
of the north should see this. He
should readily see that if his brother
laberer in the south is prosperous, he
will come north to buy his -four, his
groceries, his pork, his implements,
his clothing, and whatever luxurles
full pocketbook may induce him to
buy. A portion of every dollar this
southern laborer thus spends goes into
the pockets of the northern laborer
who is engaged in raising this -four
and pork and manufacturing this cloth,
tools and machinery. The politician

Alarmed about the business interests of
the country if the Democrats obtain
power. The Democracy had the con-

q century up to the breaking out of

For nearly qnarter of century be-
fore the accession of the Republican

open opposition to it had ceased and
the questions relating thereto which
had for so many years previous form
ed the distinctive lines or Issues be-
tween the two great PARTIES were de-
| ciared to be obsolete. The same may
be said Of all other questions of
public policy until those growing out
of slavery eugrossed the public mind.
Happily that institution is out of the
way forever, and now what reason is
,is there for not reinstating that party
which had so, long. and SO faithfully
administsred. the, public affairs and
under whose management tho gov
srnment had become so prosperous
at home and powerful and respected
abroad? The Republican leaders say
