Money is Plenty.

A glance at the bank reports of the
city will reveal the fact that there is
twice as much money on deposit at
these two banking institutions as there
was twelve months ago, and the dis
count lines have advanced nearly in
proportion. This is healthy cond;-
ton, and evidences that the business
contagiOn that is sweeping over the
State has infected our own people,
causing deposits to change from Old
stockings and drawers to the vaults of
the banks. where it is safe and easily
available for business transactions.
These bank exhibits show that there
has not been the scarcity Of money
about which so much grief has been
expressed, but the want of confidence
that has affected our section. The
money has been hid away, doing its
possessor and the community no good.
1t has been diverted from it's legitimate
use. and made to play an unnatural part
in the affairs of the people. 1t is now
coming QUITS entering into the chan
nels of business, and the result is what
we call booms 1t is, not, however,
booms, but the logical effect from given
causes. The minds of the people have
gotten into an inquiring mood. They
are measuring advantages and chances,
and reaching conclusions which are
regulating the use of money.
1t was remarked to us several months
ago, by two we'll informed and sagacious
financiers, that they believed there
was more money in the hands of the
people of Augusta county than there
was in the banks At that time we
did not think their opinion would be SO
soon verified by the condition of the
banks themselves. 1t is now proven by
the deposit lines to be literally true. So
there is no occasion to wonder and grow
hysterical over the purchase of stocks
and the changes in town lots. There is
nothing very marvellous in it. There is
money enough in the country to justify
all the improvement schemes that have
been inaugurated. There is resources
enough in the schemes to make from the
investments quite handsome profits.
There is no one man SO deeply implica-
ted that if the bottom would drop out
he would be ruined. He might be
scared, but it would be worse scare than
a hurt. But there will be no reaction.
All the conditions justify the conclusion
that we are just entering upon the
threshold of an era of development and
progress, which is amply justified by the
natural resources we possess, and never
before realized. Let all the peo-
pie take hold, and moving side by
side and shoulder to shoulder, prove to
the world that Virsinians have faith
in their State and its marvellous natural
wealth, and are going, each one, to do
his part to expose and appropriate it to
the uses of civilization.
And of all the schemes and projects
inaugurated and presented not one can
compare with Staunton. This fact is rec
ognlzed by all, and public sentiment il
forming to give it tangible illustration
The Development Company is moving
on actively. The people are taking hold
of it and the result will be that in few
| weeks or months at farthest a new dis
pensation will break upon the City of
the Hills and crown it the Queen of the
Valley.

In Sight.

Every correspondent of papers at a
distance who writes from Stainton !;
every intelligent visitor who comes to
our city. and every transient who stays
long enough among us to acquaint him
self with our surroundings, becomes
enthusiastic over Staunton as a live
business place. distinguished for the
intelligence OF its people, their socia-
bility, the good order and public spirit
that prevails, and the exceptional educa-
tional advantages we possess. The
wonder with them is why We do not
have daily paper to correspond with
the many other attractions and condi-
tions of progress that are here, 1t is the
one essential thing to give the city Il
healthy push forward. There is not an
enterprise that could be suggested that
would contribute so much to inaugurate
a real, solid, staying ''boom." as good
daily. 1t would be worth thousands to
the city where it would cost hundreds. 1t
would infuse fresh activity into every
branch of trade and enterprise, and
stimulate to success every effort that
will be put forth to improve the place.
Staunton's time is coming, and con-
ing quickly, for increased business ac-
tivity, enlarged improvements and gen
eral prosperity. and one of the things to
make it come is daily paper. The day
of big things is in sight, and when it
comes it will break in upon upon us
with force and vim that will astonisli
the doubling and disarm the Prophets of
Evil

DESIGN OF THE FORCE BILL
AN AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENT FROM ONE OF I'll
LEADING REPUBLICAN ORGANS,
From the PhiIadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
1t is very well to rejoice in the prosperity and
growth of the new north west, for there sound
views upon the tariff generally prevail ana their
progress does not interfere with ourselves, but
the advance of the South Is to great extent at
our expense. Her cotton mills will compete with
those Of New England and the middle States,
and her furnaces are supplying pig iron at rates
which make it impossible to run those of Penn
syivania. II the democrats had never been al
lowed to regain control of State governments
of the south, northern capital would never have
embarked in the development of southern coal
and iron; and the surest and speediest way to
put stop to this competition from men who are
political enemies, as well as our commercial RI
walls, is to carry through and enforce measures
like the Lodge election law. They won't like 1t,
and some OF them wi be fools enough to make
trouble about it and ii we can once get them
into the condition they were before 1876, we
won't hear any more about cheap iorn and cheap
cotton goods from the south. They will have
other things to think about.

Industrial Notes

The stock books of the Clifton Forge
Banking and Investment Company, OF
which Hon. Edward Echols is president
and Mr.. John L. Duncan secretary
will be closed ON the 1st of November
as the stock is now nearly all placed
A six thousand dollar banking house
and several residences at Clifton Forge
will be at once erected, and complete
arrangements perfected for business.
At meeting of the stockholders OF
the Rich Patch Company at Covington,
on the 18th, an important change was
made in the policy of the company and
ownership OF the property. Messrs. D.,
G. NJ. and d. A. Shanahan and E. T.
Powell, who owned four tenths of the
stock OF the company, purchased five
other hs-two-tenths from H. G..
Merry; onetenth from E. M. Nettleton,
one-tenth from j. Yost, and one-tenth
from j. w. Gill, and fractional part of
tenth from Messrs. Rhinehart and
Parker, of Covington, 8. M. Yost re-
tanning his interest OF nearly one-tenth
in the property. The company. as now
constituted. will proceed at once and
vigorously to the development of their
valuable holdings. A railroad track has
already been graded to connect with
the c. & 0. just west of Low Moor ;
buildings are being erected for the man
agement and employees, and in q very
short time the shipment of ores will
commence. This is regarded as one of
the richest properties in the South in
iron ores and the quantity is estimated
to be practically inexhaustibIe.
The stock of the Allegheny Mining
and Development Company is COM
handing premium OF $40 on shares of
500 each. The central location of the
property in the great iron range Of AL
leghany county and the peculiar at
fractions of the locality have drawn
much attention, and all who have seen
it pronounce extravagant judgment in
its favor. AS stated elsewhere, it is
expected that the lot drawing will take
place on the end of December, and the
sale Of lots retained by the company
will follow the next day.
The Princess Iron Company has been
organized, and it's stock will soon be
placed on the market. This property
lies near Iron Gate, and is very valuable.
The purpose is to enlarge the furnace,
establish a rolling mill and other indus
tries, with q view to an important manu-
featuring centre.
Other projects are in contemplation
to improve and develop properties be-
tween Clifton Forge and Covington, and
soon we expect to see continuous town
between the two points, alive with in
dustries and rapidly increasing in popu-
lation.
