A Good Enough Family Tree

Mt. Vernon Republican.
The Harrison family tree took root
in the Declaration of Independence.
Its sturdy trunk supported the honor
of the flag in 1812-15, and its branches
were emblazoned with the halo of
loyalty in the struggle for the preser-
walton of the Union. What American
will seek further for honorable
lineage?

Notes on Southern Interests.


New York South.
Local improvement societies can do
much for making their respective sites at
tractive to strangers, as we'll as increasing
the pleasure and comfort of the home
population. 1t is gratifying to note that
the people of a number of towns in the
South have organized Improvement socie-
ties for making their towns pleasant and
attractive. When dozen or hundred
citizens unite in this good work, the trans
formations that are made are astonishing
Even small outlay Of money, if made
with good judgment, will often produce
remarkable results. Streets may be
Strengthened, sidewalks laid off, trees set
out, grass plats planted, low places filled
and knobs leveled. With system and
steady persistency, new improvements
can be made from year to year, until
within a comparatively short period an
old town can be made new the old peo-
pie be inspired with young ideas, and
everybody be made happier and better.
The Polk county, Fla, Informant often
contains articles of singular force on vital
questions. On Florida's " wants "the fol-
lowing is favorable sample, which, alter
ed little to suit local circumstances,
would serve for the entire South. The In
formant says "What Florida wants more
than all else is, something for our ever
increasing population to do when it gets
here We want factories and plenty Of
them. Why should We send North for
our shoes, our teols, our furniture, and
the many other things that might be
manufactured here? We need to de-
crease our imports and increase our ex-
ports, SO that we may bring money in in
stead of sending it out. Every man who
starts factory here and gives employ
ment to other men is public benefactor.
Let our immigration societies direct some
of their efforts toward the establishment
of great manufacturing enterprises in our
State, and in a short time the people will
need no urging to come here. Let US
get to details. lst. We are shipping
whole train loads OF beef cattle, both
North and to Cuba, and are importing
every ounce of canned beef products,
every side of leather, every pair of shoes
and every barrel Of fertilizer that is con-
sumed in this great State. %. While
the Sub-Tropical Exposition has demon
strated that Florida has an ample supply
and more beautiful varieties of native
woods than any known country, except
the valley Of the Amazon, we are import
ing almost everything we use in the
way of furniture. Sd. The great corn re-
gion of the West is supplying grain for
all starch and glucose used in this coun-
try, when Florida can produce casava tor
a much better article at one-fourth the
cost. 4th We are growing fresh vege-
tables the year round and living on the
canned article imported at immense cost.
5th. Instead of keeping healthy on fresh
cows milk and butter we are buying con-
densed milk in tin cans by the car load.
9Th. We are bringing our paper and cor
dage from the North and burning up to
clear the ground the best fiber for either
that the world has any knowledge Of"
Home production and the diversifcation
of products is the secret Of Southern pros
perity.

NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY APRIL o. 1888

in part gathered up from the open market. NO
doubt large part Of the bonds which could be
procured at all were thus gathered at tins
when money was comparatively tight and In
great demand Any bank which could loan
money to advantage had strong inducement
10 buy or borrow bonds in order to secure de-
posjts. II will not do TO assume that the market
has been swept bare Of bonds for sale BY this
process but there is certainly reason to believe
that the amount available is now many millions
less than it was before these deposits began
OF course, in taking any bonds which are now
held as security for loans, the Treasury will
reduce its cash only by the difference between
the amount now loaned and the cash price OF
the bonds. As q resource for reducing the
Treasury surplus, that part Of the supply OF
bonds may be considered out of the market.
The demand for Government bonds con-
stantly increases with the accumulation OF capl-
tal. with the increasing number OF estates IN
the hands of courts and executors, with the
multiplication of public or fduciary institu-
tions which are obliged to keep part OF their
funds in form absolutely safe and yet imme-
diately available. The decrease in the amount
of bonds outstanding therefore tends to inten-
sify the demand and cannot well fail to raise
the price, unless current rates of interest on
both sides of the ocean should materially
change. II is not to be overlooked that the
change in British consols renders United States
Governments more desirable security for for
eign investors, and their willingness to sell IS
not likely to be increased by Treasury pur-
chases, which are commonly expected to take
from the market hundred millions Of bonds in
a year, in the disbursement Of the Treasury
surplus. On the whole, it may be expected that
Mr.. Fairchild will have TO pay higher prices
before he obtains large amounts, unless serious
disturbances affect the rates Of interest here
and abroad.

"pressure'' brought to bear upon it by Cleve-
land. 1.-THE Weekly confidently expected
to see the tail exert pressure" 80 potent as
to wag the dog. But it made droll mscalcu-
lation. The dog wags the tail-"in other
words, he yields TO the pressure of his party"
In order to appreciate the significance Of
"The Weekly's" admission. it is only necessary
to consider the character Of the party TO whose
pressure' Mr.. Cleveland has yielded. just
before 1.-THE Weekly" committed itself to MIR.
Cleyeland's candidacy in 1884. its Editor,
George William Curtis, in public speech in a
notable gathering spoke Of the Democratic
party in these terms:
We are confronted with the Democratic party, very
hungry and. as you may well believe very thirsty
party without single definite principle; party With
out any distinct National policy which It dares TO pre-
sent to the country party which fell from power as
conspiracy against human rights, and now attempts 10
sneak back to power as conspiracy for plumber and
spolls.
That is the kind Of party, on the Editor OF
"The Weekly's" own showing, to whose press
ure MIR. Cleveland has yielded. The Mug
wumps regarded as victims Of misplaced con-
fidcnce are certainly entitled to the sympathy
of generous hearts.

BOND PURCHASES.

The Secretary Of the Treasury will probably
have to increase the price he consents to pay
for bonds before long or he will not buy many.
II he expects to get increased amounts at de-
clining prices, week after week, as he did last
year. he is likely to be disappointed because
the situation has changed materially. II is not
supposed that there is now a great amount Of
the bonds held by any combination for specu-
lative purposes, in the belief that the Treasury
may be forced to pay large advance on market
prices The fact that several millions were so
held last year. having been purchased at much
lower prices, was the secret Of his partial sue
cess. When he declined to pay an advance the
speculative holders were ultimately compelled
to take whatever he was willing to give. But
people who hold bonds for investment are not
made more eager to sell. but rather to hold, by
Government purchases which constantly lessen
the supply Of bonds In the market.
II happened last year, also, that there were
several millions Of bonds held by parties who
had been heavily involved in the gigantic
wheat speculation. 1t was afterward reported
that large amount rendered from California
was from "bonanza' operator, who, having
to meet losses Of several millions in the wheat
deal, was obliged to realize on permanent in
yestments. No such extensive and far-reach-
ing operations have involved capitalists of the
bond owning class this year, nor is there now
as there was then, unlimited opportunity to use
money in real estate or railroad operations with
assurance of speedy and large profits. The in
ducement TO build new iron furnaces is not as
great as It appeared a year ago, prices having
declined and the demand having greatly d.
minished. The reduced rates for transporta-
ton by rail- the controversies between Western
companies, and the prospects Of diminished
yield Of wheat. lessen the inducement to put
money into new railroads. The industrial
situation has not for few months past In
vited largely increased investments Of capital
in woollen, cotton. or other manufacturing
works. The speculative field Is open, as 1t
always is. But the people who want money TO
gamble with are not, as a rule, people who have
large amounts Of Government bonds to sell
Mr. Fairchilds system Of deposits with banks
may not improbably operate to prevent his
procuring bonds in large amounts when he
wants them. About $50, 100000 Of public
money. according to his recent reply TO an in
curry from the Senate, is now on deposit with
National banks. for which the Treasury holds
as security Government bonds which have been
