BALTIMORE, Sept. 4.-The Man
uhcturers Record of this week pub
fishes six pages of special letters
from leading bankers in all parts Of
the south Us to the financial condi-
lion and prospects of general busi-
ness and farming interests. The !
reports uniformly show that imme-
diatcIv after the Barring failure,
Southern bankers and merchants
pursued a very conservative po-
Icy and at once commenced to
curtail all their operations and to
make preparations for a long period
Of monetary stringency if it should
come. The effect of this, while
lcssening the volume of trade, has
been the reduction of Indebtedness
and the placing of all business and
banking interests on very solid
financial basis. 1t also resulted il
the borrowing of less advance
money by cotton planters than for
many years, and hence the present
crop has less Indebtedness against it
than the crops of former years. In
all parts of the South the farmers
are reported as less in debt than for
years, many reports saying that
their Indebtedness is smaller than
sat any tinno since the war. due ;n

count Of the monetary stringency
since last fall and in part to the
large crops of the past few years.
The low price of cotton in the
pring caused the planters to pay
more attention to raising their own
food supplies, and the South will
probably be less dependent on other
,ections for corn and wheat than ever
before. 1t is estimated that the
grain crops of the, south this year
will aggregate nearly 100000
bushels more than il 1890 and this
added to the large yield of the fruits
and vegetables will keep at home a
least $75, 100000 that last yeal

Colors in Window Shades.

Our windows are undergoing a COM
plete metamorphose. Twenty years ago
everything was white window shades;
then we had a period of dark shades,
deep greens, and what folks termed re-
fined colors-drabs and browns, For
five years past the fashion became a sort
of "go-as-you-please" fashion, with q
tendency, perhaps, among the better
classes toward ecrus and natural holland
tints. Now, however, for the first time
we are getting into fine designs in win
dow shades, and the newest things from
abroad are in brocade styles and damask
figures. Some of the patterns are in pin
cords and stripes, with buds and flowers
interspersed. d.-Upholsterer

Khlatlad 20 Death.

It is alleged that for a generation the
people Of Alexandria, Va, have been
afflicted with the whistling distemper.
It has often puzzled the good people Of
Alexandria to know why General Albert
Pike changed his place of residence from
this place to Washington a few years
ago. His residence at the corner Of
Cameron and st. Asaph streets was one
Of the incest in this town. He had his
magnificent library there, and when a
few years ago he announced that he had
determined to remove to Washington
many were the conjectures as to the
cause of the move, and many were the
causes assigned.
Only few days before his death the
matter was cleared mp In a converse
ton with gentleman from this city the
general was asked why he had left this
city for Washington, and his reply was
because "the Alexandria people whistle
too much. Cor. Richmond Dispatch.

The Tin Plate Robbery.

The american tin plate industry"
has been, as was doubtless intended, a
fine speculation for few English and
American capitalists. Please note the
scheme. These capitalists (Engllsh
and American) form syndicate, in
duce Mr.. Mckinley and subservient
Congress to make "a slight increase OF
1856 per cent. on tin," and provide that
this outrageous increase in duty shall
not go into effect for several months.
No doubt many have wondered why
the duty on tin and tin plate should
not go into effect at once, as the re-
mainder of the tariff law did, espec-
tally as no tin plates are made in this
country. Ah, there is where the fine
work comes in. To have put the law
into operation at once would have
ruined the speculation. By leaving 1t
until July 1st enabled. this monster
syndicate, with its tens of millions cap
ital, to gobble all the tin and tin plate
in England ship it to this country and
have control of the market before the
duty went on. This was done, and it is
estimated that those spectators,
thanks to Republican Congress have
now, or will have by July 1st, enough
tin and tin plate to supply the trade
of the United States for three years to
come. They imported it under the old
law with little duty, and after July 1st
will have control of the market and the
benefit of that "slight increase of l35
per cent.
1t is fine speculation indeed, and
will, as Ben Butterworth estimates,
amount to about $50, 900, cooper year, for
three years at least. The market Is sup
piled, and of course there will be no
further demand for English tin for the
present, and as our Republican brethren
say with so much glee, the English
tin mines have shut down because the
market is glutted. OF course they have
shut down; thar was part of the pro-
gramme, and as those English tin mine
owners are in the syndicate, it was ar
ran ged that they should shut down
as soon as the Mckinley bill passed and
the "market was glutted." By shut
ting down, the supply will be limited;
the syndicate will have all the tin plate;
there will be no competition, and then
the people can be tieeced at leisure.
This is the whole business, and for this
the Republican party is wholly respon-
sihle and must face the music.
BY the way, it is pretty slick scheme
to enable the barons to levy tribute up
on the people, is it not?

"All Wool and a Yard Wide" :"

fidence on the part of manufacturers

in purchasers, and hence lis that there
