A Boom in the South.

A dispatch, dated Nashville, Tenn. Dec
Sd. says that the organization Of many
syndicates, with millions upon millions of
capital, for the development. of coal and
iron lands in Tennessee and Alabama, to-
gether with the fact that immense for
tunes have been made recently by original
investors, has caused much excitement
throughout the South, especially in the
States where most of the operations have
been and will be conducted. Real estate
has rapidly risen in value, and owners OF
desirable property are holding it for fancy
prices. Great tracts of land have been
purchased recently, and negotiations are
pending for other vast fields of coal and
iron. Eastern capital is flowing. freely
into Tennessee and Alabama and men of
wealth from these states are now in New
Y ork City making arrangements to secure
enormous sums with which to carry out
projected schemes. Speculation in South
ern stocks has been remarkably large for
the past few days, and as most OF the deals
have proved very successful the excite
ment is at fever heat. Tennessee Coal
and Iron stock, which sold at 20 cents last
Spring, has risen at rapid rate within the
last few weeks. 1t opened to-day at 1O3
and closed at 113. Sheffield, which was
dull during the Summer at 30 cents, ruled
to-day at ESQ., South Pittsburg is in de-
mand, having shown much firmness OF
late. 1t was quoted at 26 few months
ago and closed at IS to-day. Alabama and
Tennes ee has also advanced greatly and
is held at 900. There is as much local ex-
citement over the speculation in these
stocks as there was over the marriage as
sociations that fiourished in the South
four years ago.

shall, Won Molke, in the Reiohstag, last
week, was of very threatening charac-

measure and referring to France, said
there was no security for Germany in her
possessions. so long as the French shaped
their policy for the restoration of Alsace
and LoTraine-a territory that Germany
would never surrender. 1t is generally be-

The following figures show the record
of the Republican party in managing the
finances of the nation, which speaks for
itself. 1t demonstrates that the Republi.
can is the party of the people, and that its
administration of the government was in
the interest Of the people. It is a state

than twenty one years, August 81 1855, the
debt of the United States, less cash in the
Treasury, was $2,756, 431, 571. The reduc-
tion in the twenty one years is s1.522 80
l16. or an average reduction of nearly 72a
million dollars year. In 1865 the debt
amounted to s7S.25 per capita of the popu-
lation, and the annual interest charge was
$4.29 per capita. Last year, the debt was
only $24.14 per capita, and the annual in
terest charge only 50 cents.
There is a great deal of political gusn

duces a surplus of over $100, 100000, after

therein, but when it comes to guiding
public opinion and showing their faith by
their works. they shrink back, and leave

If every man in the South, who believes

honest sentiments at the polls, but would
comes in contact that there is practical
side to politics j; that issues of state do
reach down to the life of the humblest,
and that every man who works possesses
personal interest in legislation, there is
many another state that would follow in
the way of West Virginia. The South
ought to be Republican. for to that party
alone can it look for the enforcement of
measures that mean Southern prosperity.
But the mass of voting people will not be
impressed with this fact until they see
those who have so much at stake boldly
stepping to the front to defend and pro-
mote their interests. When they see this
when they see practical business men
throwing aside their reserve and exerting
that influence in the direction Of public
affairs they should exert, then they will
commence thinking for themselves ard
acting for themselves. This is the secret
of the permanent growth of Republicanism

publican policy manifest that belief in

identified with the success of their en-
ployers are turning from blind senseless
prejudice to the contemplation of material
benefits. and realization of the power
they possess to contribute to the develop
