The South and the Country.

In the discussion Of the force bill and
kindred questions in the Senate there has
been general recognition Of the fact that
the large sums of money thrown into the
market by the movement Of southern pro-
ducts has been On immense factor in the
country's avoidance of great financial
troubles.
The South is consorvator both in
finances and politics. Its material develop
ment will be 10 the advantage Of the
whole country and the battle il is fight
ing on behalf Of free elections, if sue
cessful. will be Of enduring benefit to the
people of all sections.
The time has passed for us 30 be con-
temptuously treated as the States lately
in rebellion" Given a fair chance We will
show the world clearer than ever, not only
that we have material resources of extra
ordinary value. but men with the industry,
pluck. and skill TO develop them.
Our misfortunes IN the war and our en-
vironments at its close prevented us from
springlng forward with the elasticity OF the
great West, but we have been Juggling
along steadily and will make greater and
greater strides as we approach the top of
the hill. If reckless partisans can be put
aside tho time will soon como when the
North and West viii be proud Of us and
when all will realize that the Union is some
thing more than a name.
From the middle of December to the
10th of January there ia always tightness
in the money market. owing to the prepa-
rations which railroads. banks, insurance
companies. and other corporations and
firms make TO accumulate money TO pay
their dividends, interest, or other obliga-
sions. and we need expect no flush times
until after that period, but this over and no
untoward occurrence Intervening we shall
expect Virginia and the South to leap for
ward and move on at pretty pace.
There are hundreds of intelligent north
ern men who have recently become inter
ested in southern properties, aud 10 these
we have the right to look for help. They
ought 10 try 10 shut the mouths of some Of
the fanatics. They can say that the South
is a wheel-ho-se at the chariot of Ameri-
can progress. With the desired chance
we will not only get rich, but make our
friends rich.
Unless Congress deliberately murders
our prospect 1891 will be grand year for
the South, and consequently for the whole
country,

SCARCITY OF sICS-PosTs.
There is complaint in this county about
the very few sign-pOsts that are seen along
the roads. One gentleman said he travelled
sixty or seventy miles and saw no more
than seven or eight sign-posts..
There are larger quantities of Christmas
goods displayed here than have been seen
for years Trade is very good

We are glad that Bland and
Williams laid before the House
their minority report on WINDOWS
silver scheme, and that they have
shown the courage to denominate
the scheme in plain language, as
one intended to effectually de-
monetize siluer. We have never
doubted it for a minute. We be-
ieve the scheme was concocted
beyond the sea; we believe we
could name the date of the ar
rival of the man in New York last
autumn who had the measure in
his pocket, and that it was meant
to utterly destroy silver as money.
The bill with it's fangs drawn will
do as a make shift and the best
that can be coaxed out of a cow

ginal intention we have not the
slightest doubt. 1t was meant in
