CURRENT COMMENT.

KANSAS Cry TINES: Slowly but surely
the process is going on that will eliminate
from our prejudices aud politics North" and
'South, as the terms have heretofore been
used and understood. Gradually the capi-
talists of the Northern States are finding out
that it is far easier and cheaper for Mahomet
to go to the mountain than to have the
mountain brought to Mahomet In conse-
quence we find capital going South going
to the raw material; going where water
power is to be found, equal to any on earth !;
going where the undeveloped wealth in tim
Der, minerals and agricultural products will
employ it for years to come. The recources
of the South are varied Its soil is mex
haustible in fertility its timber stands
in immense forests, as yet untouched by
the WOodman's ak. aud is fitted for the most
sgprrioS manufacturing purposes; its min
eEal wealth is immense aud undeyeloped,
and the sites for manufactures, where an in
exhaustible water supply can be obtained
are innumberable. These advantages are be-
coming known aud are being occupied by
Northern capitalists.
New HAVEN REGISTER: The next TWEEN.
ty years will witness a startling revolution
in the South. Within that period its p0pu-
latiOn will treble, its wealth will be increased
enormously and its social conditions will bt
completely altered. The lesson to be drawn
from the facts in the case is apparent
Let the young, industrious and enterpris
ing men of the hillsides and crowded citiei
OF the North go South, now. They viii
not have to grow up with the country. Th,
country will grow faster than they. The
young men who go South at this time vii
not only advantage themselves, but the,
will assist in rendering the nation homo

The National Debt.

American Sentry.
!. It was increased afteS the close Of the war
for the sole benefit of the shylocks and the
lational banks, and its burdens have result
ed only in ruin to those whose patriotism
saved the country, while the bankers and
bond-holders were plotting for their own
profit. Every dollar of unnecessary interest
paid upon that debt is dollar of burden
placed upon the industries of our people,
and is made pretext for another burden in
the shape Of higher taxes TO protect Ameri-
can industries. From 1866 to 1880 inclu-
sive, the'Finance Reports show that the Gov
eminent paid in interest upon the bonded
debt 81, ,S13, As, ,6l7.55 Of which about $500,
O00, 900 had been absorbed by the national
banks. Within the same dates the Govern
ment had paid S449, ST., ,ll2.91 in pensions.
But to the bcnd-holder the Government
had paid back also upon the principal Of
the debt sum larger than that paid by the
bondholder to the Government, and was
still holden to pay $1,000, 900, 900 more a
principal.

Colonel w. C. Faulkner is stopping at
the Peabody. He has become quite hero
since the publication of his novel, the
White Rose Of Memphis His book has re-
fected credit upon him, and it is hoped
will be the means OF inaugurating a boom
in the South equal to that we are now en-
joying in all that concerns our material in
terests. We understand that T. 900 copies
of the White Rose Of Memphis were print
ed, and that about 10000 copies have al
ready been sold. The publisher will nc
doubt realize profit of $4,000 by the sale
of this book, which should be encouraging
to the literary talent of the South. There
is much curiosity to see and know Colone
Faulkner who has suddenly become promi-
nent in literary circles. He is sharp, wiry
man, with quick, kindly eye, iron-gray
hair and whiskers, erect, military carriage
neatly dressed, and is so quiet in action anc
walks so fast that his legs always seem afraid

St Louis Republican I

The president seconds the secretary of the
treasury's motion for the repeal of the silver
bill. He wants the coinage of silver dollars
stopped, because while $l02, 100000 in these
dollars has been coined, only $34, 600, 900, he
says, is ia circulation. But this is hardly a
fair statement. While $34,000,000 in the
silver dollars is in actual calculation, $685.
100000 more of them is in circulation also
in the form of representative certificates,
leaving only 100000 really idle in the
treasury. In point of fact, all the silver
dollars coined under the act, except one
tiftieth part, are in active and useful circu-
lation among the people, in one form or an
other, and it is unfair for the president and
the secretary of the treasury to attempt to
show the contrary.
