ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS egE

By the gracious efforts OF the ladies we
are about to have a public library estsb.
lished in Memphis; what would be thought
when the ladies have accomplished their
work, if the men, supposiRg they had the
power, should compel every woman in Mem
phis who uses a needle, who makes shirt,
or sews up clothing for the stores, to pay a
contribution of two cents on every spool Of
thread she used, for the support OF the il
br,ry? Sucn an institution is splendid
thing, but what would be thought Of that
way of supporting il? Suppose instead Of
to the library the two cents spool were
given to Mump,, Sp!ugens & Co., to enable
them to make twenty per cent. year on the
capital they have invested in their establish
ment FER making iron bedsiesds, would that
be auy betterY For the iron bed
stead manufacturers and Memphis,
put the Willimantic Thread Manu-
facturiug Company, and exactly that
mode of treating every poor ahirt-maker
and the other needle.women of the United
States is true. Every one of them has to
give Eve cents for the spool Of thread that
the needlewomsn Of Canada pays three cents
for, and these two cents enables the Wilt
% antic Company 10 pay twenty per cent.
every year upon its well.watered stock. To
this injury TO the toiling women, whose pay
is usually 60 insufficient, is added the insult
of calling the shamsfully-eItorted and i'll
applied tax, "protection of American labor"
Ia the cities where large amounts Of cloth
ing are manufactured, it is the custom TO re-
quire the ssWing-women to buy the thread
they use, and that thread, which sells for
three cenLs in Canada, is five cents In the
United States. If there is one class Of labor
that appeals with piteous power for pro!ec-
ton it is that army of poor girls and women,
who, early and late, ain poverty, hunger
and dirt, sew at once with double thread
4 shroud az we'll as a shirt" Yet these, even
these sad daughters OF patience and ueari-
mesa, are made the prey of the greedy, re-
mor,eless monopolist. Every one OF these
sad toilers for a bare existence, if she uses
six spools of thread a week, pays twelve
cents a week to swell out the twenty per cent.
dividend of the monopolist. There is pro-
lection as practioed in the United States! II
thA-.szins within the Unioa could
Join and buy out the Willimantic Mills, shut
them up, and buy their thread in Cansda,
they would make money by the transaction.
Is this nonstrous ogre of "prOteclion" TO be
suffered to prey upon the people, down to the
very sewing women, forever?

For the three weeks of the present month
ihe total exchanges were sS,233, l02, against
IS, l55, 091 for the same three weeks The pre-
nedIng year. Ii is not 90 much to the abso-
lutte amount OF LIE figure. call stten-
tion, Is to the fact OF the figures of the
present year go largely exceeding those Of
the year before, especially when it is con-
hidered that the price of cotton has been
below that of last yesr. These figures
demonstrate the fact that during a time the
country generally has been complaining of
unfaVorable features in business, such as
made the New York Chronicle, last week,
complain that "profts are small End prices
too often unrenuneratiye," and while New
York has been in very sgony Of Slight
ness," Memphis has shown prosperity by the
sure indication of its exchanges. Even
strangers who Wait the city notice the more
bright and CHEEKY look of the citizens
and the increased business activity Of
its movements. In and around the city
handsome and Costly residences are going
mp or completed. Ia the business streets
The stores are better filed, repairing and
building is going on. The old GayoEo House
will soon be renovated and enlarged, and an
immense dry goods store is going up that,
tor vastness, suggests thought OF the cele-
brated Stewart block in New York. First
one event and then another have occurred to
check the prosperity Of the city, but the
state Of things to-day shows that although
nntoNard circumstances can temporarily re.
tsrd the progress of Memphis, they cannot
destroy its steady and substantial advance.
However gratifying the 6gures that show in
1reasing business may be 10 day, we may
look confidently forward to their esrly en-
]argement from the introduction OF manu.
jactures, and especially from the increase in
railroad connections. Quite q number OF
the railroad projects of the day involve still
ether connections with this city, come Of
which will certainly be made. The improve

use the words Of one OF our merchants, when
New York has taken snuff Memphis has b ad
to snesze. This season it has not been
so. In money matters this city has
stood strangely independent Of Wall
street. A month ago New York
was strangulsled from the tightness Of
money; the crisis was short, but it was sharp.
Sharp as it was this city was absolutely I'M
affected by it. Capital Was and is abundant
here, money was then and now more plenti-
full than borrowers. This ia a state Of things
that has not been usual with Memphis; in
its pslmy days before the war capital was
scarce, now it is abundant and means for
sound aud satisfsctory Investment are sought
fer. In the weekly statements Of the clear

out during the whole season from many Of
the reporting cities by the increase of its eI-
changes week by week over the figures Of the
