The Naval BIZ.

The naval appropriation bill as reported to
the senate appropriates Sl5,72Tl3l. The
senate committee added $51s,O3l to the Gggre-
gate amount as it passed the house. The bill
is based upon estimates calling for 500, ,3SSSS7,
and while the amount appropriated exceeds
by $500, 957 the amount OF last years bill, the
items for the current expenses Of the navy
aggregate $l,30O,O0O less. The increase in
the bill over last years appropriation is due
to the items of appropriation for increase Of
the navy, including Sl,3OO,O00 for new steam
cruisers and $l,00O,O0O for completing the
engines and machinery of the double tur-
retted monitors. This latter item was in
creased by the senate from Si5O,OOO to $1,000
900. The only other material item of increase
is $4,000 for testing detecting turrets for
iron clads. A large number of items under
the various bureaus having been cut down by
tbs senate committee, tho total reductions of
this character amounting TO about $4,000.
The legislative features OF the house bill have
been almost entirely eliminated.

SOUTHERN INVESTMENTS. The

that English capitalists appreciate
the possibilities of the South a good
deal better than our Northern inan.
ciers, for they are buying land in
the Southern States in great guam
titles. Their purchases in Florida
are literally immense; but they have
bought large tracts in Southern

on the lookout. They pick up plan

trifie of their value, and seize upon
large uncultivated properties, to
hold for future colonizing or clear.

be that few years hence the South.

The Democratic, party, as well as
a very large portion of the Republi-
cans, realize the fact that the present
tariff was created during a war peri
cd, and that it has fostered and pro-
tected large monopolies in various
ways. To remove these special pro-
tections and REIMBURSEMENT of the
tariff is the present demand. There
is no prospect, nor could there be
any possibility for years to come, to
establish tariff which would realize
sufficient income to support the Gov
eminent which would not be ample
protection to our own industries
The tariff must be made for the con-
sumner and producer and not for the
manufacturer and monopolist. This
is what the Democrats propose to do.
They intend to reform and readjust
the present unjust oppression and
partial method ofraising the revenue
for Government support, and by SO
doing, will make revenue the object
and protection the incident.

The people of the South point with
pardonable pride to the progress they
are making in the manufacture of
cotton goods. The Charleston News
in publishing the report of the Pied
mont cotton mill, showing its last
years operations, asks, '.Is there q
cotton mill in New England that has
done as well" The progress made
by this mill last year may be briefly
told. The net profits during the year
amounted to two and half per cent.
on the capital stock of 100000, or
over $105,000. Out of the net earn
ings dividend of 10 per cent. was
paid to the stockholders, the remain
der of the earnings being turned into
the reserve fund for use as CONNER
cial capital. The capital stock of the
company is $210, III, 48 less than the
total cost of the property, which
amounts to $40, III, 48; but this diff
ference has been paid out of the net
profits, over and above the dividends.
Doubtless many Northern mills can
make as good showing; but manu-
featuring at the South is young as yet,
and the last year is spoken of as zone
OF unusual hardshtps and disappoint-
ment to manufacturers" in this sec
ton. It is also stated that the Gran
itville cotton manufacturing company
of Augusta, Ga, has recently declar-
ed It's annual dividend, amounting to
20 per cent. of the capital.

Turn the rascals out is the way the
New York Times puts it in calling for
reform in its own party. And the
Times is the strongest and best Re-
publican paper published. It knows
full well that the rascals are in and
that the people are bent on putting
them out. 1t however hopes that if
the Republican party shall disassociate
itself from the chief rulers of the
gang, the popular movement against
that party may lose some of its force
and a part at least may be retained
by the ''grand old party" that has
harbored these fellows in its bosom
during so many years of fraud and
population and public plumber. But
the righteous Indignation of the peo-
pie has at last been thoroughly
aroused and no barrier can be inter-
posed between public wrath and GER
tain punishment. The Republican
organization by its long lease of pow
or has become thoroughly corrupt
and the win of the people is that |
heir affairs shall be administered by |
men.

Democrats believe in equal rights,
equal privileges, equal taxation, even

And they also believe in having the
revenue needed by the Government
collected ''in the most convenient

the common sense of the subject.

upon others, tends always to deprive
US of self-possession. We grow
anxious and perturbed, lose our
simplicity and naturalness and fall
into the very blunders that we dread.
These frequent failures weaken our
courage and make us shrink more
and more from what we ought bold
~ to approach.
Of course, there is a vain and self.
confidence, which rushes unabashed
into every scene and feels equal to
undertake whatever is presented
This, however, is very different from
the self-possession which comes from
true estimate of our own powers.
lie who possesses himself in this
latter sense will be as careful to alb.
stain from what he is unable TO per
form, as to execute whatever rightly
falls to bis lot. He will be as modest
and unassuming as he is energetic
and unfiinching, for he will know
his limitations as we'll as he does
his powers. The best practical way
of securing this self possession,
where we feel its lack, is in contin.
ual practice. AS we have said, there
are certain things which every one
should be prepared to do, certain
scenes that every one should be pre-
pared to enter, certain crises that
every one should be ready to meet.
These none of us must shrink from
when they come, but do our best
every time, manfully, resolutely,
calling to our aid all the reason and
good sense that we can command.
Each time we force ourselves to this
course the task grows easier, and at
length we arrive at that condition
of calm assurance with regard to
our performance of them, which
alone gives self-possession.

The rubber industry of the United

thing like $75, 600, 900 invested in the
business of manufacturing rubber
goods, $50, 900, 900 of which is con-
fined to the rubber boot and shoe in
dustry. The total number of the en-
ployes is placed at $1,000, and the
total number of factories at 100
According to recent census bulletin,
the value of the annual product is
$3.50, 100000. Some thirty thousand
tons of raw rubber are imported every
year, which, when combined with
other materials in manufacturing.
amount to 300, 900 tons. The market
price OF the raw material has been
forced up to ST. Is per pound, while
six years ago the price was scarcely
fifty cents. In consequence of the
advanced price Of rubber, several
substances have been prepared as
substitutes for it, of which celluloid
is the most important.

The high license bill, which has
caused so much discussion in Illinois,
has passed both houses of the Legis
ture and has received the Governors
signature. 1t provides that each
saloon selling distilled and fermented
liquors shall pay alicense fee of $500
per annum. A saloon which only
sells fermented liquors shall pay $3.50.
If this law can be enforced it will
add several millions to the public
revenues of the State, but a bitter
fight may be counted on before the
liquor dealers will submit to the in
creased taxation. 1t is easier to break
g law in the Supreme Court than to
make it in the Legislature, and all
the resources Of the legal profession
viii be employed to prove that the
high license bill is unconstitutional.
The conflict will be dragged into pol
itics, and it may yet decide which
way Illinois will go in the next Presi-
DENTAL election. The Democrats
have the. advantage of position, as
they are out OF power.

The Railway Register calls atten-
ton to the fact that for years the
cost of railway labor and supplies
has increased, while the rates for
freight transportation have steadily
increased. At the same time Compel
ing lines are multiplying rapidly. It
suggests that the question of profits
in future will probably be answered
by reduction in operating expenses
through the practice of rigid economy
and improvement in railway appi-
ances. This, with the growth of
traffic, will hold up the net earnings.
