According 10 the Manufacturers Record
the South is now the most active and grow
ing and prosperous section of the country.
OF course this would not be the case if the
labor Of the South were deprived of its lib
erty and wages and subjected % all sorts of
outrages, as the northern Republicans say
tits. Why, then. should all this activity and
growth be stopped and all this prosperity
be destroyed by the proposed attempt of
Messrs Hoar, Lodge, Reed, Chandler and
the other leaders Of the Republican party
to inaugurate connection, disorder and
blOOdshed throughout The South, in their
vain efforts 20 make southern communities
subject TO an inferior race?

Letters from ex-President Cleveland and

Douglas, that Ohio will send fifteen demo-

Of the efforts of your late antagonist, Mr..

Mr. Cleveland wrote:
The zeal and enthusiasm which at this
time prevail in our party demonstrate that
democracy Is never i'm a more congenial ele-
ment than when it battles for principle
which involves the real welfare and pros
perity of the people
The speeches were masterpieces of logic,
sound doctrine, and eloquent presentation
of democratic endeavor to protect the people
from the ravages aud ruin of republican
rule The Cm correspondent says Mr. Will
sons was "a scholarly discussion of the fun
damental principles of tariff reform.

earnings, there are signs already ofan ap-
preaching decrease in the volume Of
trade. In fact, the recent disturbances
have shaken public confidence, and cred
it, the companion of timid capital, viii,
for the time being, undergo a watchful
scrutiny which cannot fail to prove ulti-
mately beneficial.
We think, however, that the halt will
prove Of short duration, for the general
condition OF the country would appear to
be sound. We have seen it under more
favorable aspects, but, with all due allow
ance for an amount Of imitation and dis
tress in certain quarters, we see no causes
to justify a widespread and lasting panic.
ii unwise speculation and public and pri-
vate extravaganza have received a warn
ing which will result in the beginning OF
a healthier and more conservative era,
this interim will not be without its good
side. A cuItailment of credit must sure
ly be followed by a decline in consump-
ton and in prices, but such a reaction
must sooner or later be superseded by a
renewed activity.
The present uncertainty is also height
ened by the doubt as to future legislation
regarding the financial policy of the Gov
eminent and other measures affecting the
public interest. It is natural that such
fears should arise, but so long as the in
dependent and unprecedented mind
OF the American people is prepared to as
sert itself, as it did on the fourth day Of
November last, our lawmakers in Con
gress will not be able to do the Republic
much harm.
The course of silver will be an interest
ing feature. Last month its extreme
prices were 96} and los, the latter being
the quotation on November the 2Sth
Naturally, when the Government is il
the market, quotations are advanced, and
after its purchases have been made, the
price is allowed to fall A portion of the
reaction is, perhaps, due to some reduc
ton in the stock of bullion in New YOrh
and represented by certificates of de
post, but it has not been so material a
to cause any permanent advance. Tit
silver question is bound to remain an I'm
solved problem for some time TO come.
The impression is gaining ground tina
we are about to enter upon a periOC
during which higher rates Of interest vii
prevail. 1t cannot be denied that the &C
emulation of funds, for some years past
at the worlds large centres, which re
suited in such low rates, had the effect Q
over-stimulating speculation and enter
prise in different parts Of the globe Thi
supply of funds has, to a large extent
been scattered, and even with the in
creasing rapid communication betweei
nations, long time will elapse before
can pile up again. This suppOsitio
would, therefore, appear reasonable
With higher prices for money, more cor
servative methods will prevail. In cor
nection with this idea, it is well TO rC
member that the United States would az
pear to have received its full propOrtio
of this scattered capital.

Mr.. CLARKSOY on THE REASON WHY

Mr. ClarksOn, who did so much execu-
ton upon Democratic pOstmasters while
he was in the Postofice Department, says
the campaign Of 1892 is already opened.
II is to be fought, he says, by the press,
and the party that understands that fact
best viii succeed. ''If the people," he
SAYS, "are TO read Democratic OF mug
wump paper where they ought to read a
Republican paper the Democrats are sure
10 win" Hence his advice to his party
is 10 reinforce its press" Atpresent, in
his view, the most widely circulated pa
pers Of the country are DemOcratic-a fact
OF evil omen for ''the grand old party"
Mr.. Clarkson said something very like
this before the November elections, and
the result proved his perspicacity. The
reason why the Democratic press is forg-
ing ahead at present is that it is advocat-
ing the peoples interests as against those
Of the monOpolists. Mr.. Clarkson proba-
bly, understands that as well as anybody,
though he does not think it good politics

THE FARMERS VS.. THE FORCE BILL

sion at Ocala, Florida, adopted on We'd
nesday, resolutions denouncing the Force
Bill in terms that cannot be misunder-
stood. The following preamble and reso-
lutions were adopted unanimously, amid
the widest enthusiasm
WHEREAS, The President of the
United States, in his annual message to
Congress, recommends and urges the i'm
mediate passage Of the measure known
as the Lodge election bill and
WHEREAS, said bill involves a radical
revolution in the election machinery OF
the Union, both State and national, and
Its passage viii be fatal to the autonomy
Of the States and cherished liberties OF
the citizens; and
WHEREAS, In the holy war which We
have declared against sectionalism, the
firesides Of the farmers, of the North
East, South and West, are the citadeh
around which the heaviest battles are be
ing fought; and to the end that victory
may crown our crusade, and fraternity
and unity reign; therefore, be it
ResOlUed, BY the National Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union Of America
in national council assembled, that we d.
most solemnly protest against the passag,
Of said Lodge Election bill, most earnest
ly petition our Senators TO employ al
fair and legal means TO defeat this unpa
triOtic measure, which can result in moth
ing but evil to our common and beloved
| country.
Resolued, Further, that a copy of thes'
preambles and resolutions be sent to eacl

are wise and weighty words, and deserve
to be pondered by every Democrat who
values the principles OF his party and de-
sires their success beyond the mere per
sonal and selfish ACKNOWLEDGMENT of self
constituted leaders and managers who
care more for the rewards Of success and
the plumber of the camp than for the
principles of the party or the triumph Of
its cause. The tribute which
Mr.. Cleveland pays to those indie
pendent and patriotic Republicans
throughout the country whose co-opera-
ton contributed so materially to the sue
cess Of the Democratic candidates at the
recent elections is no more than just.
1t was not, therefore, a victo-
~ of the Democratic organization,
but Of Democratic principles, and
those who rely upon the organization
alone to produce equally favorable results
another Year-be it next year or the year
following-will do well to consider the
conditions upon which such success is
alone possible. 1t is not only discomfort
ed Republicans but Disconnected Demo
Gratis in large numbers who have still to
be converted in this State that ''Democra-
cy means something more than mere
homogeneous for party success and a par
tisan distribution of benefits after sue
cess" Mr. Cleveland shows how, and
how only, this can be done In the same
letter to the Young Mems Democratic
Club in Ohio, after the words we have
Just quoted, he adds: 'This can only be
done by insisting that in the conduct OF
our party, principles touching the public
welfare shall be placed above spoils, and
this is the sentiment of the masses Of the
Democratic party to-day. They are dis.
interested and patriotic, and they should
not be misrepresented by the tricks -oi
those who would not scruple to use the
party name forselfsh purposes. These
then, are the conditions of the Democrat
ic success in the great national contest o.
1892. They are, in all likelihood, no les.
the conditions Of Democratic success il
1891. Mr.. Cleveland does wisely to adj
dress his words of counsel to the young
Democrats Of the country. As the futur,
Of the country is necessarily in the hand
Of its rising generation, 50 especially il
this present period Of transition and de
velopment, of progress and improvement
as We hope and believe, in the politics o
the country, the strength and the success
Of the Democratic party must largely de
pend upon its young men, to whom Mr.
Cleveland's words should carry all thu
t weight Of counsel, reinforced by that 0
personal example.-BaltimOre Sun.

Mr.. CLEVELAND DEFINES THE COXDI.
TONS OF DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.

1t seems to be the happy faculty of Mr..
Cleveland, more than of any public man
of the day, to know when and how to
combine a word of timely counsel and
warning with utterances that might 9TH
erwise seem to be of a merely formal and
perfunctory order. 1t isn't that he is adj
dicted TO preaching, not in the least, it is
simply that he knows the value of a
"wOrd in season" and has the rare gift OF
saving il. Recently appeared a
brief letter of acknowledgment and regret
sent by the ex-President to the Young
Mems Democratic Club of Canton, Ohio,
in response to an invitation to attend the
third tarif-reform banquet of the club on
one evening of last week. There are
some things said in that short letter which
are so true and so well said that they will
bear reprinting. After regretting politely
his inability to accept the clubs invita-
ton to be present with them on the even
ing referred to, and expressing the hope
that the occasion might be full of encour-
agenent and enthusiasm, Mr.. Cleveland
goes on to say: ''May not suggest one
sober thought which should constantly
be in our minds2 Our late success is, of
course, the triumph of Democratic princi-
pies, but that success was made possible
by the cooperation Of many who are not
to be considered as irrevocably and I'M
der all circumstances members Of our
party. They trusted us and allied them
selves with us in the late struggle because
they saw that those with whom they had
acted politically were needless of the in
terests Of the country and untrue to the
people. We hare still 10 congince them that
Democracy means something more than mere
management Jor party success and a partisan
distribution Of benefits after success" These
