DUB COMING BOOM.

Northern capitalists are now di-
recting their attention to Texas and
Mexico as profitable field for invest
ment in railroad enterprises, and we
predict that the time is not far dis
tant when other investments will be
sought here in the way of manufactu-
ring enterprises which will add very
materially to our sources OF wealth.
The following editorial taken from a
recent copy Of the Philadelphia Times
will show the natural drift of public
opinion on this important subject:
1.-The manufacturers of the north must
soon 90 south with their cotton spin
dies and looms, and those who go
earliest will reap the richest harvest.
It is o violation of all the laws OF trade
to transport the cotton a thousand
miles to an inhospitable climate, where
water power is unreliable third OF
the year, and where it Unnecessarily costs
more to sustain labor than where the
cotton is grown. Our struggling
cotton factories in Pennsylvania would
be earning from ten to thirty per cent.
o the great water.powers OF the "a
vannah or Alabama, where labor is
cheap, where the climate is the most
genial to be found on the continent
and where the cotton lint can be fur
nished fresh from the gin. Instead OF
mourning the expenses OF packing,
Transportation and re-separating the
lint at much cost to the fibre, the cot
ton should and soon will, be spun d.
rectly from the gin by cheaper labor
and turned into better fabrics than
can be furnished with all the skill OF
the north. Those who say that capi-
tai is not safe in the south either
know not what they say or mean to
be untruthfuL In every southern
state there is a supreme desire to
have the factory everywhere that the

We feel compelled to call the atten-
ton Of our Republican friends to the
fact that one of their most important
ante-election predictions does not :. pan
OUT satisfactorily, so to speak. The
people were told, with s..damnable
iteration" that the business prosperity
OF the country was entirely owing to the
mastery craftsmanship of the Republic
an party, and that it would continue
and increase it that party werc kept in
power otherwise not OF the National
bankruptcy and general financial smash
which would follow Democratic vic
tory, we need say nothing. Well, two
months have elapsed since the people
extended the Republican lease, and in
these two months there have been more
commercial failures than have occurred
in the same length of time in seven
years. Hardly day passes that our
telegraphic columns do not announce
the suspension of some firm of high
reputation either in the North, South,
East or West; and while no serious ap.
prehension is felt in commercial circles,
1t is evident that public conference.-the
basis OF all sound business prosperity
is not as strong as it was sixty days ago.
Andsuch items as this, from the Spring.
field (Mass.) Republican, are going the
rounds of the press:
"D.G. CroIy predicts that there will be finan-
cial panic before the year is out. Croly hit the
last panic to a dot, months before 1T came"
ALI of which would seem to demand
little explanation from the Republican
elect. they would be crying from street
corners and house-tops, " We told you
So" Garfield being President-elecs,
will they not tell us why these things
are thusP Why, to all appearance, is
the business prospect considerably less
satisfactory since the Union was treated
to another dose of Republican salvation
than before? Why these daily lists of
the killed and wounded in the business

difficulties of the conundrum, yet they
have right to ask for Republican

with especial grace from those Repub-

The Age Of the Earth.

At the Midland Institute, Birmino.
ham, England, the other day, Professor
Ayrt0n delivered lecture in which he
gave some estimates of the earth's age.
In reply to the question of whether the
earth Is existence was to be counted by
thousands or by millions of years, he
called attention to the geological evil
deDces of organic changes of the earth s
surface which required not much less
than hundred million years for the
earth's age. There was, however bet
ter method of approximating to the AGE
OF the earth. The changes OF tempera-
ture belonging to the different seasons
were less perceptibly felt as they pene-
trated the substance of the earth, until
at depth of about fifty feet the tenn
perature was practically constant. If
however, they continued to descend an
increase OF temperature was experienced
at about the rate of one degree per fifty
feet of the descent. Surprising this in
crease went on at the same rate until
the center of the globe was reached.
the temperature there would be 400, O0C
degrees higher than at the surface.
There was, however, no reason to as
sumo that the increase did 90 on, or
that the temperature at the center was
higher than that of the molten rock,
100 degrees, or almost 10, 900 degrees.
Assuming this to be the temperature at
the center, and knowing, by experiment
the conducting power of rock in rela-
ton to heat, Sir William Thompson was
able to calculate the present distribu-
lion OF temperature throughout the
whole earth, not only the present dis
'ribution downward, but the distribu-
ion at any future and at any past time
Taking the temperature of 1000 de-
yrees as having been once the uniform
of the whole body, the re-
'ult OF the calculations was that the
'arth had been hundred million years
n cooling.

"Protection i" and Wages.

The assertion that the workmen of
America are benefited by tariff monop-
olies was met the other day by Con-
gresham Hurd in the following re-
marks made to q newspaper corre-
spondent in Washington:
Protection operates as a robbery of the

pretenriously on wool, while he has to pay
seventy-fiye to one hundred per cent. on the
wooden goods he must needs have. The day

they receive in the increased price of goods
which are protected, and which they are
obliged to buy. visited the house of friend
of mine in Toledo the other day who had a
trml'y OF seven children. He had wage OF
OF $50. asked him how much he paid for
the clothing of his family. He said $780, at
least Itold him he could have bought those
him that he paid in year nearly 500 more
for articles required by himself and family
than they could have been purchased for ia
Canada told him that this was the nefarious
result of protective tariff. He said that this
was new tight to him, and that he would tell
all his neighbors and friends that the protec-
tive tariff was taking nearly one-haff their
wages, which the Government did not receive
because these goods were manufactured in
America. and therefore paid no duty to the
Government, but which went into the pockets
OF the home manufacturer. The result of
protective tariff for twenty years has been the
robbery of all men on wages of from oae-third
to one-half of what they have received. with no
ADVANTAGES to compensate for the loss to any.
unless 1t be those who are employed in the
industries whose products are
protected. But these men are out of employ

last ten years ! will undertake to show the
