4 Lesson i'm Wire Nails.

The old Democratic cry that the tar.
i'll is a tax and added TO the selling pr ce
of the article. is not heard nowadays
as often as formerly. The voters of the
country have studied the tariff and are
no longer 10 be deceived by such cam
paign lies. Any number of articles have
been cited in which the selling price is
actually less than the amount of the
tariff to disprove these Democratic
claims. The following table, taken from
the New York Press, showing the pro-
duction of wire nails since 1875, when
the manufacture was commenced, the
price and the tariff is an interesting
study:

Scranton Pa.) TRUTH
The great impulse given to industry in the
South within the past decade, and still adj
dressing itself vigorously TO the hopeful task
of winning those enduring victories Of
peace that make q people prosperous and
happy, is an augury Of a bright future whose
dawn is at hand for that portion Of our cOun-
try. The story Of birmingham Ala. reads
more like one Of the wonders of the Arabian
tales than a realty. but it is no fleeing fiction
nor is il the record of a city that was doomed
into prominence to vanish from view upon
closer acquaintance. 1t was simply an indus
trial miracle, made perpetual by reason OF the
solid foundations upon which It's prosperity
rests.
And now another Southern wonder comes
in view in the same substantial lne-East
Richmond, which lies close TO the old historic
city of Richmond and which enters upon It's
industrial life with list of promising indus
tries giving employment 10 two thousand
skilled hands and requiring homes for ten
thousand persons. The location of Richmond
as a shipping centre is most advantageous,
and in this respect it surpasses Birmingham,
while its lneXhaustible mineral resources can
not fail 10 make it, within a very few years,
one of the most important manufacturing
cities of the South.
In the development of this industrial hive
brains, energy and experience, are joining
hands in genuine and hearty bonds of union,
and 1t deserves TO be said for the people of the
South that they are giving cordial welcome
and encouragement to every Northern man
who is willing to take his chances among
them in helping along the golden age Of
prosperity. Old strifes and feuds are only
for the politicians, and in the new
compact the great elements are common
sense and cooperation. Richmond on the
James," historic Richmond around whose
past SO many interesting memories cluster, is
to be congratulated upon the earnestness and
vigor with which men of muscle and money
are consecratng themselves to this new in
dustrial development, which promises TO con-
tribute a glowing chapter of prosperous peace
to q history already fragrant with the romance
of early days and the yalor of more modern
times.
The kndling of the fires of industry upon
the land of Powhatan, Pocahontas and Cap
tain Smith IS an event of historic interest
and will give new lustre TO a region once the
most important and still the most promising
III the South. The details of this latest step
in the line of Southern development are told
in the announcement made on the sixth page
of this paper, and they deserve 20 be read by
every man who is watching the industrial
progress of the South
