pROSPERiTY AT THE SOUTH.

How does the Mckinley bill agree with the
South? Is that great and growing section
thriving or Ie;rograding under IT. Does
to-day find her merchants and manufacturers
boneful or respondent? Are business pros
rocts good or bad? "The Tradcsman," a
newspaper published az Chattanooga, Tenn
in its review of the industrial situation in the
South for the week ending August 6, throws
flood of light on these interesting questions.
s.The Tradesman' states that reports re-
ceiyed from correspondents at all important
noints in the Southern States agree IN saying
that mercantile business is increasing ana is
in satisfactory condition. Payments are
made promptly. The crop reports are more
encouraging. The iron furnaces continue IN
blast. nearly every furnace being in operation,
although prices are very low. There is an IN
creased demand for all kinds of machinery, and
nositiye evidence Of an improved situation IN
Industrial pursuits Lumber continues active
Textile plants are in a prosperous CONDITION"
This is bad for the Democratic calamity
howlers, since it seriously intcriercs with thelr
preposterous theory that the Mckinney tafhi
| hoe proycd a curse to the country. But inc

II is impossible to read this showing without
| Incoming convinced that business at the south
| is in a thoroughly healthy condition. Tho
leading industries already established are dong
well. while the outlook is 50 suspicious that
those having money - invest feel warranted
in embarking in new enterprises Good for the
now south IL is such facts as these which
lond Irresistible strength Ia the Republican can
va>. They attest that tie Republican policy,
AGAINST which Mr.. Cleveland and the rest OF
tho Democratic party are arayed, Is sound
! poicv-a policy which puts life into business,
which promotes prosperity. Democratic writ
or, and >tump-spcakcr s would do well TO steer

mcnts-whose name is lcgion-whch demon
state that Uncle Sam is going on prosperng
and 10 prosper. For they arc campaign doch-
m.nts which necessarily work serious injury
"a the cause of Cleveland and Stevenson.
WHY make a change when things are run
MING 30 smoothly? Why not let well enough
alonep That is what lcve-hcadcd people are
asking one another.
