SLOWLY but surely are the nnequaled
merits Of Memphis as a favorable point
for the establishment OF manufacturing
industries meeting with recognition. As
has been time and again demonstrated in
these columns, no city south Of St. Louis
is so advantagcously located for the distri-
button Of goods or so happily near the
point Of supply in raw material. This is
particularly true OF everything manuiac-
turcd out OF iron, cotton or wood, and the
fac, is just beginning TO dawn upon capi-
taliialists looking about for profitable fields
Of investment In our local columns will
be found the gratifying announcement
that the furniture factories Of Little Rock,
Ark, and Union City, Tenn, are about TO
DO removed TO Memphis. Tue ArrEAL
extends 10 them a cordial welcome, and
hopes TO have the pleasure Of soon greet
ing numerous similar accossions to our in
dus,rial activity.

G; the South. Some OF our friends, no
doubt, feel sense Of fear that the returlp-
Of the nation to Republican rule may in
volve also a return Of the disasters and
terrors OF reconstruction days.
While the Age believes that continue
ance OF the Democratic party in power,
especially under the leadership OF one OF
the ablest and best Presidents Of modern
times, would have been better for the
country at large, II must still be conceded
that the change does not appear to offer
any prospect OF material danger to the
South.
Since carpet-bag days the country and
the intelligence OF the Republican party
has been undergoing a practical tuition.
Sectional hatred in the North is only rep
resented today by the Sherman brothers,
MIR. Foraker, and corporal's guard OF
provincial newspapers. On the other
hand, we have reliable information that
the general opinion Of the North, at least
among the enlightened classes, is favorable
to the South as respects our social prob
lens; is daily growing more so, and that,
in fact, there is good reason for believing
that the good sense and craftsmanship of
the coming administration will be devoted
to an attempt at solving the much vexed
ioSoi puOotloHo, hot W Jul uetrlnent OF IN
a way tending to our persecution, but in
the line OF our reasonable wishes, rights
and interests.
Finally, it seems evident that the party
now about to assume power intends to
build up new and enduring reputation
as the friend OF American labor enter
prise and development. To the extent
that it fulfils that mission il should have,
and will have, the countenance Of every
progressive Southern citizen. II may be
that we are taking an unduly sanguins
view OF the future, but il seems TO us al,
this time best that we should take defeat
calmly, endeayor to meet the conquerer
upon living terms, and trust to the great
heart and sound sense OF the American
people, that the result shall not prove
ultimately injurious to our hopes, our prog.
ress, our peace or prosperity.

Tennessee Democrat. DO ThcmscIvc,

From the nashville American.
The Democratic party in Tennessee can
congratulate itself on having won signal
victory. The returns show increased
Democratic gains In every part Of the State.
IL was only during the last few days Of the
campaign that the Democrats became
aroused and that s,ay.ai-homcs saw the
danger that threatened the State. But
when the people did see that owing to the
Prohibition disaileclon that the Republ.
cans had chance Of carrying the State,
then the party fell solidly In line and the
result Is highly gratifying The much
yaunted strength which the Prohibition
leaders claimed their ticket would show
failed 10 matcrialize. The masses wisely
perceived that this was not the year for
prohibition; the sensible men Of the party
knew that the larger the vote for prolibi.

SOUTHERN PRESS OPINIONS.
The Cause SIN Lives.

From the Nashville American.
Let no one fancy that il Grover Cleve.
land is in reality defeated, the cause which
he represents will lose any of its strength.
That cause is the cause Of the people; it is
the cause Of the masses against the classes;
it is the cause Of right, truth and justice,
and il is undying.
Because Republican money has been
able to buy the vote Of one State, because
the voters OF New York have not chosen
wisely, makes no argument against the
righteousness OF the tariff reform move
ment. As we'll say that locks and bars are
worthless because u burglar happens to
break through them once in n while.
No. The principle that Grover Cleve-
land stood for is more prominent today
than Il was last December when he reused
the nation with the clarion words
unnecessary taxation is unjust taxa.
tom"
That principle stands for the welfare Of
$4,000, 900 rs against the burdens laid upon
them for the beneiitof / 100000 II stands
for your welfare, reader, whether you DO
man or woman, black or white. The
Democracy has nailed the flag of tariff re.
form 10 its masthead. and though that
grand army may have received TEN.
porary check, the principle Is as enduring
as the everlasting hills, and II will triumph
as surely "a the day follows the night.

JOHNSTON COUNTY, N. c.,
July 2. 1888.

Col. L. L. PoLK.-Dear Sir AS I
have not seen anything in your noted
little paper from Bentonville Alliance,
No. 743, 1 wish to say a few words.
Our Alliance meets twice a month and
is in a good condition and working
we'll. We r but few in number but
we mean business. We put down $50
at a word; all subscribed but two
when we met; we all meet with smiles
to think we are all moving forward
for the prosperity of our order, and
with hopes that others may see the
effects of our works and take part with
US. Crops are looking small at this
time, but since the weather has be-
come warm, cotton has turned green
and gone to growing. Hoping c
for the Alliance and prosperity to
your paper.
| am truly, yours,
JOHN J. WILLIAMS, Sec'y.

members. now we number f%orty-eight
all males. We elected officers at our
last meeting in June, which are as fol
lows: President, Lawson Knatt; Sec
rotary, j. S. Owen, &c. Several of our
members are subscribers to your valu-
able paper, and they like it much. I
will try to get up a club soon. It
would be hard to find a body of more
determined men that those that COM
pose our Alliance. ~
Respectfully,

ceipt upon the receival of the quarterly
dues. The next thing in order was to
elect a delegate to the State Alliance,
soswe. elected w. A. Wilson. E.A.
Pfaff vas elected a County Organizer.
No further business, our Lecturer
gave us a very good lecture, it was a
lecture worth the attention of every
member of the Alliance in the State.
Our next meeting will be held at MI.
Tabor on the first Friday in October.
| think by that time we will have
several new Alliances organized in our
county. The people all like the ALI
ance very much. / think before long
every man will be a member. I win
close for this time; will send you more
of our Alliance news soon.

Col. l.. l.. PoLK.-Deor Ssr-The
outlook of present crops are not very
good in my neighborhood; wheat
about one-half of a crop; spring oats
two:thirds of a crop; fall seeding very
good; tobacco one-half of a crop
planted after the goth of June. first
setting looks very we'll; corn on up
land is looking we'll, on wet land
planted late are not so good; old sup
plies on hand are more than for several
years which will help the present crop.
l attended the County Alliance at
Wentworth Friday. There was a good
turnout and all seemed interested in
the proceedings. There was some
business of great Importance before
the Alliance. The secretary read a
letter from President Alexander, ask
ing for aid in behalf of u State
Agency, which was discussed. The
members of the sub-Alliance wish to
know what would become of this
money, whether it would be used so
as to pay the expenses of the State
Agent, or whether it would lust be
locked up to give the State Agent a
commercial standing. 1 think that
this money should be so used as to
pay all the expense of the State Agent,
and at the same time give our State
Agent a commercial standing that the
world would respect. Farmers are too
poor to keep money on deposit that
draws no devidend.
Very Truly,
