THE COTTON NiITLh
The cotton supply is already the most
important commercial factor discussed IN
money and trade circles The London
firm Of Neil Bros. secured the credit for
making the most accurate estimate Of last
years American crop, and q few days ago,
according to custom, published an csti-
mate OF ,hc probable yield Of the present
American crop at 100000 bales mini.

SOUTHERN PFC IRON.

The Baltimore Sun, reviewing some state
ments made by Mr.. T. G. Boyle, of Phila-
delphia, well known furnace builder,
states II az fact, based upon the expert
ence and observation Of that gentleman,
that pig iron can be produced in Alabama,
and OF course In Tennessee or Arkansas,
at $3.50 per ton, or probably--md even
without pinching economy in fuel--at S.
per ton. And The Sun says that at that
rate, or even at Sl2 per ton, Southern pig
iron makers can compete successfully with
those OF the North, ando course enter the
markets OF Europe upon q fair basis Of
competition at the lower figure. This
being so, The Sun concludes that Southern
pig iron has no need Of a duty Of SO rs per
ton to protect 1t from foreign pig 1t is only
a question Of time when great revolution
as to the production Of pig iron will take
place. AS Mr.. Boyle says
when Southern pigiron makers learn TO run
| their furnaces with the same economy and use the
same care hs II prnctiocd at the North. they may
look TO the world ~ their province. The

announces large reduction in the con-
sumption OF coke In the future:

day should be day Of rest. Whenever in
any American city there has been developed
q tendency to set aside the Scriptural injunc-
tons with regard to Sabbath observance, a
reactionary movement has invariably set in,
and today there are few cities in which Sum
day laws are not enforced with sufficient
vigor to insure quiet streets, cessation OF
business, and decorous demeanor on the
part Of the multitude. New Orleans was
noted for the gala-day character Of Its Sun
days, and was prominently "wide open
town. The visitor is therefore surprised to
find that on Sunday he may not get shaved,
except behind drawn curtains, and can.
not get a drink of liquor, unless
by the aid Of skilled path
finder who has password concealed about
his person. At the theaters, however, Sun.
day performances are permitted as hitherto,
probably on the theory that in the matter Of
regulating the morals OF a community dis
erection is necessary, as, otherwise, too repress-
i've measures are liable TO inspire revolt and
the abrogation of all regulation. In view of
the fact that the people Of New Orleans, de-
spite the French idea that Sunday Is day
OF play rather than day OF rest, have
Americanized their Sunday, there seems to
be no good ground for the fear expressed by
some of our clergymen that the dissertation
of the Sabbath is an increasing national
vice. II is remarkable how accurately Amer
lean communities discriminate between H.
censc and liberty, and how surely they gravi-
tate to the normal equilibrium in all things.
The instinct of reformation is ever vital in
the nation. Abuses may long be tolerated,
but the time of reform and readjustment
comes inevitably. Sometimes the reforma-
ton comes from common consent, and at
other times after struggle, but it is always
sure 10 come, .L.

the Union has grown 10 It's present great
ness, the principles that are at war with
every form Of monopoly and class leg
islation, which killed Federalism and
brought the enfranchised colonies out from
under the control OF the social and political
prigs, the monarchy men," who had no
idea OF republic, and sought by covering
Thomas Jefferson with the odium Of the
French revolution to make democratic re-
publicanism stencil, and wean a
majority OF the people from the
dugs, which were perpetual fountains OF
pure, unauthorized Democratic milk.
Every year added TO the age of the Repub-
lie makes IL clearer and more clear that
Jefferson was its real father and founder.
BY his writings and by his personal exam
pie he assisted in abolishing 'tho Repub-
lican Court OF Washington and bringing
the people to realizing sense OF their per-
sonal dignity as it was involved in Gov
eminent OF their own choice, under which
all men were and are free and equal.
