FOR A DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRY.

The Memphis Appedl-Ardldnche has
begun the raising of fund of 100000,
subscribing the first 81 900 itself, for the
purpose of establishing factories in the
city, or providing bonuses for those who
will start factories. 1t is said that there
is a good prospect of raising the money.
This action of the Appedl-Araianche
is eminently wise. No great city
fourishes solely by commerce, Liver
pool perhaps excepted, and Liverpool
shows decrease of population by the
last census, while London. Glasgow,
Manchester, Birmingham and all other
cities in which manufactures supplement
commerce show large increase Nor is it
well to confine the,resourceso of great city
to one or to few species of manufact-
ure. The English cities of Bradford,
Coventry and Macclesfeld, which have
no diversity Of industry, have several
times undergone years of depression by
changes of fashion or by the force of
foreign competition. London, New
York, Philadelphia and Chicago rest on
firm bases of commerce and of diversified
manufactures. The appeal i-Ardldnche
puts it clearly when it says: Business
is never dull in all trades at the same
tirle." To secure rs many differing
kinds of trade as is possible is the true
policy of towns, cities, States and
nations.
The "New South will do well to
stick to the policy of diverse industries
both in its cities as well as on its farms.
But it is policy wholly inconsistent
with the free trade theory, which would
limit each nation to those few industries
for which it showed especial aptitude.

No newspaper enterprise undertaken
by Providence paper ever attracted so
much and such prompt interest as the
NEWS offer on Saturday of a free trip
to Europe for some representative Rhode
Island workingman. Henry Labouchere
once said that the test of newspapers
success was the number of letters 1T re-
ceives. Judged by that test, the free
trip to Europe has caught the public eye
famously, for we have food of in
quiries about it, some of which we print
to-day. Other questions will be gladly
answered upon succeeding days.
Free traders often say 'lt is true
that a mans wages are lower in Eng
land, but they will buy just as much" +"
The latter half Of this statement is a
falsehood, and we desire to prove its
falsity by the report of representative
Rhode Island woYkingman. We don't
care whether he is Republican or
Democrat. We only ask that he shall
report the facts exactly rs he finds
them. We have no desire but to spread
the truth.
That this truth thus impartially re-
ported, may have some effect in settling
the oft-repeated falsehood above referred
to we hope and expect.

THE CITY PRINTING.

The joint committee on printing met
on Saturday and awarded the contract
for the city advertisements for one year
to the two papers presenting the lowest
bids, the NEWS and the Record.
The selection of the News as one of
the city papers was matter of course.
1t is usual in such cases to select paper
representing each political party, and
the News is not only the sole Republi-
can daily in the metropolis, but also the
representative daily Of Rhode
Island.
The choice OF the Record may occa-
sion some surprise, yet it was logical
enough. There are two Democratic
factions and the Record is the organ of
the more Sumerous and powerful.
Whether its city circulation is equal to
tho Tclegrdm's we have no means OF
knowing. Perhaps il is natural that the
latter should feel disappointed, but to
repeat its stereotyped cry for an "inves-
tigation' is absurd.

CARA THE BANDIT.

IL is fifteen days since GarZa's second
outbreak and the Texas rangers have as
yet been unsuccessful in their scouting
for him. Trouble is now reported in the
town of Ascension, Chihuahua, and at
once rash correspondents jump to the
conclusion that the mob which muir
dered an unpopular town president is
acting in the "revolutionist's" interest.
The true inwardness of the situation
appears TO be about as follows Time
has been and is not so far past when
anybody could stir up revolution in
Mexico, which has lived in a state Of
protracted revolution; but Mexico is
passing into the settled condition Of q
progressive republic in spite of fleeting
revivals of the spirit of the old regime.
CARA has attracted no considerable
number of citizens TO his camp, and
sooner or later he will be taken and
shot as n guerilla, who has attacked
peaceful haciendas for no motive but
plunder, and who has made cowardly
assaults on unprotected villages but
sedulously avoided fight in the open
field.
The impossible nature of the country
in the border region has been and is the
only circumstances that has made
CARA formidable. He has no defined
purpose of change in the existing condi-
tions of the Mexican government and no
plausible excuse for attempting change
by violence. Mexican industries are re-
viving, Mexican commerce is extending,
Mexico is fairly satisfied with the pres
ent and the outlook for the future and
has no support to give and no sympathy
to waste on a gang of bandits, whose
impudent dashes on stations within the
domain Of the United"States deserve to
be punished as they presently will be
by our cavalry. 1t is an abuse of speech
TO call Cara revolutionist; he is a
bandit, and not a romantic one.

monetization of silver by the United
States. Thus in 1856 years the ratio had
varied only 80 per cent. Of 1, or from
l4.94 TO 1902. But since 1874 it has
risen steadily and rapidly to 22.O6 in
1899, dropping again TO 1915 in 1890 un-
der the influence of the growing free
silver sentiment.
This study of the figures will explain
the attitude of the silver men in
wishing for free coinage upon some re-
cognized ratio. But TO coin silver at 10
AID buy the surplus OF the world at
1915 or thereabouts would be bad
economy.

ICEMAN TURNER'S HOT PLACE.

1t is to be feared that Iceman Turner,
who is by grace of Tammany the door
keeper of the House of Representatives,
is likely TO have his cool composure
melted by the trials to which he has
been subjected.
There's Mr. Coombs of Brooklyn, for
instance. Mr. Coombs was elected as a
tariff reform Democrat in Republican
district. In his campaign he traded
upon his exceptional character and repu
tation and his supporters averred that
Mr. Wallace, the Republican candidate,
though very useful member of Con-
gress, was only practical politician" :"
which was perfectly true as far as it
went.
Mr.. Coombs is only one Of Iceman
Turner's bugbears, but in view of his
civil service reform pretensions, his re-
cent actions with respect to House pat
ronage are little peculiar. For it was
Mr.. Coombs who acted as chairman of
the Brooklyn delegation which 'sug-
.gested" three appointees to Mr. Turner,
as the agreed price of supporting Crisp
for Speaker, and il is M. Coombs who is
now charged with duplicity in at first
recommending one man for messenger
and afterward thrusting another in his
place.
II looks as if Mr.. Coombs was himself
in danger of developing into practical
politician. But what hard time poor
Turner must be having!

The effect which this apparently irresis-
tible tide of sentiment would have is so
well understood by politicians that If New
York is chosen Cleveland may as well
give up hope. II will be gentle re-
minder to him that he may as well stay
out of thefght.
The best place for Democratic con-
vention is unquestionably ST. Louis.
For .second choice, Cincinnati, Louis
vile or Baltimore might do, but not
New York, unless Democracy wishes to
serve notice Of its absolute surrender to
Tammany.

More than one bewildered merchant de-
spairingly inquiries, "what is judicious
advertising?" The Weekly" briefly
answers. IL is advertising In a newspaper
in the newspaper having the widest cir
cuIation and the best reputation among
those whose patronage is sought. In To-
caIities where the people are divided on
political lines, each having one or more
organs. the most widely circulated and
most thoroughly read newspaper repre-
senting each class should be employed ;
for, as "a rule, the partisan reads only the
newspaper of his party. - Jewellers
