Competing for Trade.

A Richmond special to the Baltimore
sun says the wholesale grocers of that
city are reaching out for the trade OF the
far South, even to the extent of sending
solicitors to the extreme Southwestern
States. They claim that they are build
ing up profitable trade in Mississippi
Alabama and Texas, as well as in Ohio
and West Virginia. The city of Richmond
claimed to sell about 1000, 600 worth of
groceries at wholesale last year, the bulk
of which went to retail dealers in Vir-
ginia and the two CarOlinas. 1t is said
that one-seVenth OF this business was
done by one house.
There seems to be no doubt that the
wholesale grOcers of Richmond are ex-
hibiting extraordinary enterprise and
pluck, and they Will doubtless be we'll re-
warded therefor. There are about dozen
other cities however, bidding for the trade
of the sections which Richmond seeks to
invade, and several of them presuma oily
have the advantage Of that city in geo.
graphical situation and facilities for
handling the business.
A most extraordinary reward of enter
prise and pluck was that received by the
wholesale grOcers of this city last year.
They increased their business in a single
season from $40 OO9,O 900 to $l3,50O,0O 1t
remains to be seen what the business OF
the present year will be, but there is little
room to doubt that it may be made to show
another large increase.
Savannah has many decided advantages
over Richmond and other competing
Southern cities as a commercial point.
The day has passed, however, when trade
will 20 10 any city of It's own accord. 1t
must be sought out and offered induce
ments in the way of prices, rapid trans
portation and freight rates.
Savannah has a chance to do an i'm
mense business in the near future With
the States to the north and west of us
that have hitherto done nearly all Of their
business elsewhere. There is no reason
why other lines Of business in Savannah
besides the wholesale grocers should not
reach out for new territory. We ought to
ship many millions Of dollars worth of
goods to the MississippI valley and re.
ceive from that rich region several
hundred thousand bales of cotton That
now go to New Orleans, MOBILE and
other points.

Judge jerks charged so and so? "Oh, yes"
he responded. I'VE understood that. But
George jerks told us the law was the other

great power with a jury anywhere in the

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 29.-The Hon

prove that Bacon, not Shakespea wrote the
plays bearing the latter's name, was a mem
Der of Congress from Minnesota away back
in 1865. On one occasion he delivered ter
rifle philippe against his colleague, Mr..
Washburn, in which Mr.. Donnelly declared
that "all the male Washburns born in the
family had an M. G, branded on their broadest
part" This hit at the Office seeking propen-
sites OF the Washburns was greeted with
shrieks of laughter by DOnnellv's con-
gressiNnal associates. Anthony Trollope

gallery during the delivery of Donuelly's
speech. He was greatly shocked at the coarse

and soon after quilted the house in disgust
The next morning Edward Paley. the Score

Fourteenth street. Espying TrOllOpe, he
guided his horse IN that direction. A 3 he
neared the sidewalk the horse stepped into a

Journalists and politicians on both

much time and ink discussing the ques-
ton. What should be the profits on capt.

No reasonable man claims that capital
is not entitled to It's earnings Just as labor
is entitled to its earnings. Not only do
capital and labor cooperate to produce
wealth, but they cooperate to maintain
the people and develop the country mate
rally, morally and mentally. Wherever
capital and Mbor are found working to-
gether the most tremendously and intel
ligently, there will be found the highest
development and the most enlightened
patriotism.
From the very nature OF things 1t is inn
possible for the civilized world to agree as
to what the earnings of capital shall be,
just as it is impossible TO Tx an unalter-
able standard Of wages. The amount in
vested, the security Of the investment,
the various risks of the business, the laws
OF demand and supply, and local ques-
tiOns must be taken into cOusidera-
ton. Some investments of capital are
wise, and the business wisely )nducted,
while in many instances the reverse is
true. 1t may not be Objectionable, even
from the wage workers point of view, if
in some instances capital pays profit of
ID to 20 per cent. In other instances it

people for the benefit of favored classes.
1t violates the spirit if not the letter of
the constitution by efactually taking
away the property of private citizens and
giving it to other private citi-
zens. 1t makes the consumer worse
than slave, for he has to contribute his
labor to the support of his masters with

The Knights of Labor and Financial
Questions.

Questions.
Some OF the things which the knights Of
Labor did at their convention in Cleve-
land are entitled TO commentator and
there are Others OF them which indicate
that they have not been as closely studied
by the Knights as they ought to have been.
The request that Congress shall fix
uniform rate ofinterest for the whole cOun-
try is one OF the things which the knights
would have been wise not to have med
died with.
in the first place Congress has no right
to do anything of the kind. The States
have the power to regulate the rate OF in
terest within their respective limits. In
the second place money is worth a great
deal more in some localities than in others.
The demand for il and the security have
great influence in fixing the rate.
In portions of this State and Florida
money commands a great deal more in
terest than in the Northern States. In
some of the Western States also the rate
OF interest which the law permits is much
greater than that which is permitted in
the Eastern States, and a greater rate
than the law prescribes is often obtained.
A law fixing the rate of interest for the
whole country, even if Congress had au-
thority to enact such a law, would not be
a good law. The rate OF interest which
Congress would likely establish would
be so low that money would not be sent
to the Western and Southern States for
investment. The farmers and planters
who are deeply in debt would be without
ready money to carry on their planta-
tions and farms and they would not be
able to get any. They would be much
worse of than they are now with high
rates of interest.
1t is much wiser plan to permit the
rate OF interest to regulate itself. AS n
country becomes settled the rate declines
until money can be had at very reason
able figures. The interest rate will in
crease or decline in proportion as there is
a demand for money.
The assault on national banks and the
request for a huge banking system with
discount bureau in each county show
that the Knights haven't given tnan-
cial questions a great deal of considera-
ton. Further study of them Will doubt
less lead to a modification of the financial
views to which they gave expression at
Cleveland.

The first volume OF the scrap book contains
the gossip before the Wedding. The second

accounts OF the wedding. Col. Lamont has
looked in vain for an exact copy OF the official
account sent out by him, and mas given 1t up,
finding the specials much better and more
accurate, having been written after the we'd
ding, and not, like the "oflical" account, be-
fore the blissfu moment. Many pages of the
scrap book will be devoted to the illustrations
which have appeared in the country. The
industrious private secretary hopes to be able

counts OF the honeymoon at Deer Park. At
the hour Of going TO press the Colonel and the

women earnestly desiring a higher education
are here enabled to get 1t, and means of cul-
ture are given to many who show signs OF
promise as to useful future lives. Miss Alice

herself glorious example of what woman
