A Splendid Record.

The following statement forcibly illustrates
finances of the government have been man.
aged by the Republican party. 1t furnishes
the facts, too, upon which to predicate the
belief that taxation must be very material
ly reduced inasmuch as the debt has been
largely decreased and the interest charge pro-
portionately diminished. The figures present
ed will be source of pleasant thought with
the people, and should direct their attention to
the craftsmanship which has made them posi-
BILE in spite of the obstructive efforts of the
Democratic party:
The amount of interest on account of the
public debt, for which the Treasury will be
liable on January 8. is more than $10000,000,
of which amount S7,SS7 900 is on account OF
the four percent. bonds, and the remainder on
account of the extended six-per-cent. bonds,
which now bear three and half per cent. per
annum. On the tour-per-cent. bonds one
quarters interest. and on the extended skies
one-halt years interest will be payable on the
date above named. 1t has been the practice OF
the Department for many years 10 anticipate
the January interest, and the departure from
this practice by Secretary Folger has caused
considerable complaint from holders of small
amounts of the two classes of bonds men
toned, whose convenience would have been
promoted at this particular season had the
Secretary permitted Treasurer Gilfllan to pay
the January interest before the Christmas
holidays On January l, 1880, the liability for
the semi-annual interest on the six per cent.

PENNSYLVANIA knows the value Of manufac-
lures Nearly every hillside and valley with
in her borders is the site of some industrial
enterprise, great or small, but still she is not
satisfied, aud every means is being employed
to still farther encourage manufactures. One
of the committees of the State revenue com
mission has recommended the repeal of the
tax on capital stock of manufacturing corpor-
ations and bill to that effect will be submit
ted to the legislature at the coming session.
The report OF the committee says that only
about 100000 is yearly realized from this
tax, and that while the State can well afford
to remit the amount the tax is driving in
vestments outside of the borders of Pennsyl-
vania 1t should be remembered that
this legislation is recommended in q State
which is the very centre of manufactures,
whilst here in Virginia with our wealth Great
ing enterprises just in the chrysalis stage, and
our whole future depending upon their sue
cess. nothing practical Is being done towards
their encouragement. We rely solely upon
the advantages which nature has placed in
our grasp, and seemingly forget that wise
laws and active efforts must aid in their devel-
opment

holds the balance of power. The legislature

1882.

The year upon which we are now entering
promises to be marked as period of unexam-
pied prosperty-a prosperity that will more
Immediately affect the South. Already the
signs OF outreachng capital and enterprise are
everywhere manifest. Railroads are checker
ing the late slaveholding States with a net
work of iron, and industries that mean endur-
ing wealth are beginning to dot the valleys
and the mountains sides to ieed and to flourish
upon the great mineral deposits, and build up
the communities in which they are located.
With their advent will be introduced and es-
tablished new methods of thought and endeav
or, new habits new aims, new wealth, and a
solid business basis upon which hope for the
future may be founded with assurance.
For century the South has been cut Off from
the outside world almost as completely as If
Chinese wall surrounded 1t. Beneath her soil
untold riches slumbered undisturbed by ex-
animation much less development, and her
grand water power swept on to the sea glad
dening her fields just as it had gladdened them
when on its bosom sported the canoe OF the
ing in motion countless wheels OF industry
was scarcely dreamed Of Indeed there was
something wellnigh distasteful IN the thought
OF the buster and smoke and the noise of faclo
ries. The sound of negro melodies '''mong de
cott'n and de con" was the only music of Ia
Dor. The busy hum of spindles; the roar of
furnace fires and the thunders of the forge dis
turbed few echoes in the south. Happily all
is changed now. Our people are beginning to
appreciate the full value of manufactures.
They are welcoming capital and enterprise
from others States and lending their own en-
orgies to the Inauguration of new era. Less
Of politics wider departure from the paths
trod by the generations that haye gone before;
more of independence among the young men;
more brain and hand work, and less reliance
on the pedigree a more vigorous employment
of energy and capacity in mechanical pur-
suits, and less crowding of the professiols,-
these are the agencies that must come into &C
tive life to lift the South to the plane of pros
perity, and these are the agencies that are
working like leayen throughout the whole
section.
But not to the South alone does the year 1882
promise rich harvest. Every section of the
country seems to be preparing to push forward
in the scale of progress. Vast schemes of im-
provement, girding the continent and opening
up dormant wealth in dozen States, are pro-
jected and will be placed in operation in the
early spring, and furnaces and manufactures
must of necessity follow. Material develop
ment orens the widest avenues for the employ
ment of money and energy, and when the
record OF 1882 closes, it will, we believe,
chronicle grander work than has ever been
crowded into twelve months of the Nations
career
