Another million dollar Cotton Factory is

Thus looks like business, and proves that
the theory that cotton manufacturing in
the south docs not pay, is all false. Fac
tories are springing up all through the
South, Not factories only for the manu-
facture Of cotton. hut for everything the
South most needs. Tie day wilt come
when the New England capitalists viii
have to move their capital and machinery
South, or else quit the manufacturing
business altogether. II has taken the
South long to learn that the road to wealth
lay through manufacture, but now that
she has at last learned the lesson she viii

and grown rich irom manufacturing the
material of The South. The South will
now manufacture her own material aud
become richer than the East.

The Repuk;lcAn Party.

The Republican party hss fulfilled Its
mission and outlivsd its usefulness. The
issues which called It into existence and
gave IL popularity aud succeas no longer
exists. II now hss DO mission and its
principles, sentiments aud policies b~iong
to the barel past and only come mp as
echoes which mlngle a. discords with the
onward march, of the political tendencies
Of the times 1t has failed 10 move with
the age, but lives by keeping alive feelings
aud opinions which should have been
buried and forgotten when the war ended
and its resuits were accepted in good faith
ty the people Of the South, II seeks TO
continnc sectional feelings and hatrcds
between the North and the South, and
retains its power by srrnyipg the different
sections If a common country against each
other, aud that. too, when the only issue
South has been settled and acquiescd in for
years.
The Republican party must die. No
great party can long live after the issues
which called IL into existence have bcro
settled. The Republican party has ruled
this nation solely through the influence of
dead issues about as long AZ the people
will bc blinded by its false pretenses.
When q party has no living issues upon
which to light its opponents it will go to
war with itself and hasten its own distruc-
tion. This the Republican party is now
doing. Having no real live issues TO hold
the party together il is breaking up into
fragments which are fghting each other
with rs much bitterness and hatred rs they
wonfd n common enemy.
The good Of the country requires that
tho control of this government should
change hands. II is now scarcely more
than three months since James A. Garfield
Was inaugurated President Of the United
States, but in this short period there have
been developments which emphasize the
declarations uttered during the last
campaign, that the intere ST If the coun-
try demanded change of rulers. In the
light Of present event. the people without
regard to party are fast coming TO the
conclusion that the Democratic party mus,
come into power. Honest Republicans
are satisfied that the Republican party has
outlivrd its usefulness and that its aim.
methods and policy are in conflict with
the i'rst interests of the entire country.

The per cent Of profit is surely greater
than that realized from the investment
of the remaining $3.50 which may be
briefly stated as broken bones, loss OF
life, squandered fortunes, impaired
health, blighted hopes, discovered
homes, imbecility, Ignorance, vice, inn
providence, broken laws, active eXecu-

of the tax of one cent on the gallon of

the heart-rending, the soul-harrowing
results which just as naturally grow
out Of the culpable expenditure of the
$500? The argument that such a tax
is oppressive in any sense of that much
abused term, is simply illogical and
unwarranted by the experience of man
kind.
The same argument applies with
equal force to the beer brewed or drank
in Kentucky; there could could be no
injustice in levying II tax of one-eigth
of n cent or One-tenth of cent per
gallon on this particular and delectable
slop. \ revenue of not less than $780,

GLIDING the war claim, the irreleema-

supplemental tax ON whisky and
beer could he invested in Government

the people without any appreeiable cost
to them.
There are Other methods by which the
bond could be still more augmented,
