SOUTHERN ENERGIES.
Norfolk Virpinian,1

The last week has enabled reporting
of industries in Virginia of very en-
couraging character, among them paint
works, Buena Vista SIS, 900 paper-box
company, Richmond saw mill, Shen-
dun and in North Carolina, where
there is considerable nickle, there are
rumors of nickle steel-making COM
pany ; at Greensboro, the cornerstone
has been laid for the first lage modern
furnace, and the first one built for coke,
ever constructed in the State. The
building of this furnace is an event Of
great importance to the two Carolinas,
where high grade Bessemer ores are
found in abundance, the development
of which will add immensely to the
prosperity of both States.
The march Of new enterprises has
been as full at many points, if not
more Sc, than in the sister Common
wealths mentioned, and these advances,
with others, lead the Baltimore Manu.
fGfturer's Record to this speculation
"The indications show a very de-
cided tendency of Western produce to
seek outlets to foreign markets through
South Atlantic and Gulf ports, and
railroad capitalists are more and more
showing their appreciation of this fact.
Thus, in addition to the many large
inland manufacturing and trading
cities which are growing up in the
South, this section is certain to build
great seaport cities at Newport News,
Norfolk. Charleston, Port Royal,
Savannah, Pensacola, Mobile, Calves
ton, and probably at other points
where good harbors can be created at
moderate cost.
"The development of a large trade
with the West Indies and South
America and the construction OF
the Nicarauguan canal will both
prove of enormous value to the South
by furnishing new markets for South
ern agricultural and manufactured
products, and by making Southern
ports great shipping and trading
centres. In every direction evidences
are accumulating of the solid growth
of Southern business interests of al
kinds, and the outlook is very bright"

The following article from the Will
mington Star may throw some light
on the subject:
For years past farming in this country
has not paid as general thing. Some
farmers have made money, but there
are hundreds that have not to the one
that has. This is true not of one
section, but of all sections 1t is true
of the wheat raisers in the West, of the
cotton and tobacco raisers in the South.
This year for the first time in many
the farmers of the West are prospering,
and are finding market for their
surplus crops although they have the
largest grain crops grown since 1884.
This fact will account, in part, at least,
for why they have been no more pros
porous for years past than they have
been.
As cotton is the crop of consid-
cradle portion of the South, SO grain
wheat, corn and oats-is the crop
Of the West. 1t is about all that six
farmers out of eight know anything
about, and although it may sound
harsh to say SO, they don't know much
about that. They pillow, SOW and plant,
in the same old routine way every
year, regardless Of the usual demand,
or the probable demand, and the re-
suit is that unless there is some extra
ordinary short crop there is over pro-
duction and correspondingly low
prices.
The insane high tariff policy in the
interest of favored mapufaCturers,w (which
has prevailed for nearly thirty years
has almost destroyed the foreign
market for American wheat, by stimu-
lating the cultivation in other coun-
tries which now supply large part OF
what befov this tariff policy was
adopted came from this country.
Russia has enlarged her wheat area
and until this year has shipped largely
to Germany and England, has built
railroads into the wheat-growlng re-
gion of India to stimulate the cultiva-
ton in that country, from which she
now draws annually large supplies
Russian wheat and Indian wheat come
cheaper than American wheat because
she can pay for them by exchange O
her manufactures, which she cannot
do to the same advantage with the
American shipper on account OF tariff
restrictions. This cripples the foreign
trade in American breadstuffs which
find an active market on the othel
side of the ocean only when they art
comp1hed to buy, as they are this year
by short crops in European fields.
While the stupid tariff policy ha
been contracting the market abroad
the area of production has been ex

panding at home, new territory has
opened up and millions of fertile acres
have been brought into cultivation to
add their many millions of bushels to
the already too large crops for the
demands of the ordinary market.
When there is only certain possible
consumption it follows as matter of
course that when there is twice as
much produced as there is demand for
that the prices must be correspondingly
low When the seller has twice as
much to sell as the buyer wants, and
he must sell it and the buyer knows
he must, the buyer will do what it is
perfectly natural he should do, and
that is offer the very lowest price, and
gel what he buys as low as he can.
For some years past wheat has
averaged in the markets of this coun-
try about eighty cents bushel, which,
after deducting the cost of cultivation,
harvesting and threshing, would leave
the farmer about thirty cents bushel.
When we remember that about twelve
or thirteen bushels of wheat to the acre
is the average crop of the West, we
can see what bonanza the Western
wheat grower has in his wheat fields,
the money he gets in return footing
up the munificent sum of between
$3.50 and $500 an acre. There are
farmers, Of course, who make more
than this, who have rich lands, or cul-
tivate better, raise larger crops and
make more money, but we are speak
ing of the average yield and the
average return in money. Other
grains range in about the same pro-
portion with wheat.
Is it to be wondered at, then, that
farming in the West don't pay any
better than it does that the farmers
have got into debt and that the value
of farming lands has deprecated in
the past ten years, and that young
people are learing the farms and flock
ing to the towns and cities?
Why is this? The main reason is
that the protective tariff policy, which
has been in operation in this country
for nearly thirty years has practically
deprived the farmer of his world market
which could take his products and
confined him to the home market
which can't, because it is not large
enough. The farmer who can't see
this ought to be built over again and
have some new eyes and new brains
put into him.
IT IS a cause ofuniversal satisfaction
that Mr.. Cleveland has for some time
been devoting his leasure moments to
the preparation of Constitutional
History of the United States. There
is no man in this country who is better
equipped for the task in the point of
general ability or soundness of political
opinion. 1t goes without saying that
the ex-President will take the strongest
ground in favor of maintaining tine
Constitution in its original purity.
His administration of public affairs
was return to the principles of Jeffer-
son, who looked first to the welfare of
the whole people. A volume on the

The No bility of Wealth Represents More
Power Than the Sword Ever Controlled.
The feudalism of the past was that of
birth and rank. The right 10 rule, won
by the father, descended 10 the son. To-
day the right to control the destiny, ave.
the very lives, of more thousands than
were ever held in vassalage by any lord.
descends by inheritance or beeuest from
the mas ter Of millions The nobility of
wealth Ioday represent more power than
the sword ever controlled. Is il less
dangerous: Is the power of life and
death less perilous because the weapon
1t wields is measured by Troy weight
rather than by averdupois: The rich are
not all lad. nor were the feudal lords all
tyrants. The nobility of feudalism no
doubt represented a much higher level
OF intelligence, enterprise and what is
often termed public spirit than those
who were subject to their control. They
had right TO claim TO be the best, the
orayest, the strongest, the sweetest life
Of that time. The trouble was not in
the men, but in the power they repre-
sented, the power to restrict opportunity
and compel subservience
The evil lay in the power of the few
and the helplessness of the many-the
ability OF the few to control and of the
need of the many to serve. II matters
nothing whether this power is attested
by the crest of noble or the seal of a
corporation, the effect is the same.
Whatever promotes mastery and en-
larges the domain of subserviency and
dependence, that imperils liberty The
fact that he who yields this power is a
saint may make its exercise less irksome.
but the evil is enhanced rather than di-
unfinished thereby, because of the leth-
argy which results. Injustice is bad
enough, hut submission 10 wrong inf
nitely worse.
All, but each one now has a chance to
be the greatest! Such is the lottery of
power which we call liberty. There is
