Week.

The Manufacturers Record, Of Balti-
more, in its issue of February 1S. says:
"While there is no marked incroasc in
the organization of new industrial enter

steady, solid advance, and also grow

best field in America for investment
Many plars Of great magnitude are being
worked out, and with return of activ.
ty in investment aud business interests in
the country at large the South will again
become the center of development, and
future operations will probably be on
larger scale and by heavier capitalists
than anything which the South has seen
yet. Among the more important under
takings reported during the week are
the very extensive iron and steel max ing
and town-building operations to bc com.

Capt. Alexander Has q Hill Which
He Thinks Will Regulate the
Cotton Acreage.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-'Impossibie to
control it; useless speculation to consider
it," emphatically and tersely replied
Sydepham b. Alexander, of the sixth
district of North Carolina, when asked if
concerted reduction in acreage was the
remedy for the prevailing depression in
cotton
"We can't make cotton in my part of
North Carolina under &c." Mr.. Alexap-
der said.
"What is your remedy for the present
condition." he was asked.
"rhis, he replied. -.
Mr., Alexander produced a.bill which
is before the committea-ea ;wsys and
means. The proposition is asconcise as
the authors speech. The most important
provides 'that all vessels built within
the United States by citizens thereof, aud
wholly owned aud manned by citizens of
the United States, engaging in foreign
commerce, shall be allowed to enter and
discharge their returning cargoes at any
port of the United States, free of all Gus
tom duties; provided, that said vessels
shall have carried full outgoing cargoes
from the United States, three -fourths at
least of which cargoes consisted of agri-
cultural products of the United States. ="
The other sections simply provide regu
lations to carry out this idea.

A WISE MOVE IN GEORGIA.

One Of the best moves that has been made
in the South to osccurc good class of i'm
migrant farmers has just been inaugura
ted in Putnam county, Ga, by some en-
tcrprising citizens, who have organized
the Middle Georgia Land Co. with a
capital stock of $50, 900. Subscriptions
to the capital stock are to be in land and
money The company will purchase
good farming property and divide it into
1OO-acrc farms. On each farm n COM
Portable residence will be built and such
improvements made as will enable ten
ant or purchaser to begin active farm
ing operations as soon as he takes poses
sion. The Atlanta Constitution, in Civ
ing some details Of the plans Of opera
lions OF the company, says:
1.-The Intention is TO sell these farms to
desirable settlers on long time and easy
payments, thereby securing industrious
and thrifty immigrants I;ut home pco-
pie viii not be shut out from the bcnc-
fits OF this scheme. Farmers who have
heretpf rc rented land may, in q T, ,ason-
able length of time, own farm of their
own, paying for it an annual sum not
exceeding the amount Of their rent notes
Thus renters who have been living from
hand to mouth and moving about in the
hope Of bettering their condition will be
enabled to secure homes of their own and
pocket the profits of their labor.
"Thc Operations OF the company will
not be confined to one county, but will
embrace several counties. The result of
the movement will add largely to the
number of small farms, and give to the
section interested Large increase OF the
white population. Incidentally it will
be the means Of settling the labor ques-
ton. In securing cm;grants the new
company will have the active aid OF

To illustrate the strength of tho pref.
udice against corn in Great Britain,
mention may be made Of an instance in
the city of Glasgow, Scotland, where it
was proposed by Member of the Poor
House Board to substitute maize for
costllcr food in that institution. The
mere suggestion brought storm about
his ears, because of his inhumanity in
thrusting upon defenseless paupers food
which was only fit for pigs. American
canned goods of all kinds are largely
sold in Europe, but canned corn is al.
most never seen there. If q demand
for 1t could be created it would mean
hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly
to tho proprictors anl workers of our
canncries. Agents of the Department of
Agriculture have been exhibiting tho
cereal in this form also abroad with the
hope Of teaching the people to like it.
Wherever corn dishes of various sorts
have been prepared and distributed by
them they have been received so favora-
oily as to give good grounds for conf
dent expectation in this regard. The
use of the potato, the tomato aud the
tobacco plant, all of American origin,
has spread through Europe aud added to
the comfort and happiness of millions.
There seems to be more hope for corn
now than there was for any of those
commodities at the beginning.

M. dc Varigny gives in the Paris
Revue des deux Mondes clear, s,lcciuct
account of the events Of the Chilean war,
which the conflicting reports of news
paper correspondents have left vague in
most minds. While he b!ames the con-
duct of Balmaccda, he regards much of
what has happened as the almost in
evitablc outcome of the opposition Of
English and American ideas and in-
fluence, which, working as they have
worked together in the evolution of the
Chilean Republic, had created condition
of things under which it was impossible
for a people SO naturally vigorous to con-
tinue. Chilean parliamentary institu-
tions are imprcgnatcd, according to NJ.
de Varigny, with the monarchic Il spirit
of England, from which country they
were copied. But this monarchicll sys-
tenn has for its own crown an autocratic
President, whose powers were granted
to him under American influence, an
whose position in the Constitution was
copied from that os the President of the
United States. The two institutions
cannot work together. Balmaccdl only
followed in his unconstitutional prac.
tices the "deplorable deviations' of all
his predecessors, and one Of the results
of the war is likely to be revision of
machinery of Government which NAV
bring the powers of the President aud
the Parliament into more logical re.
lation to each other. The Chilean war,
In fact, has been, in NJ. Varigny's read
ing of it, war between the force VIII ich
made for closer union with the United
States aud those which made for the
supremacy OF English influence; the
English forces have won, and with their
victory the dreams of the three Americas
united against the world loses all chance
of realization. The indignation Of
Chile, he continues, has been strrcl
against the United States, aud too deeply

The nine third party Alliance members
OF Congress Simpson, Otis, Baker, Da.
Wis and Clover, of Kansas, Kerr and Nc
Kcighan of Nebraska, Hallowcl of Min
nesota, and Watson of Georgia-held a
conference, and declaration was drawn
up to be issued us manifesto to their
constituents and the country. 1t declares
that these gentlemen propose to flock by
themselves hereafter and dcnounces the
Livingston faction for going into the old
party lines. The S Simpson, Watson fac
tion want it undcrs' ood that from this
time on they are third party men, and
not to be rcckoncd as sura to support the
party measures of either party. Con.
gresham Clover of Kansas has in prepar-
alton bill, to be introduced in day or
so, which he says will warm the cookies
of the Alliance heart. 1t is bill provid-
ing that cvGy State shall own all rail
roads III its borders and operate the same
full programme for the conduct Of
these new State enterprises will be set
forth. -Four per cent. of all profits are
to be laid aside rs a repair and maintc-
nance fund, and the residue is to fatten
the public treasury, and in that way to
lower taxes. Mr.. Glover claims that his
scheme will make travel cheaper; that
railroad tickets will be sold for 20 per
cent. of the present tariff, and that. as n
direct result many more people will tray
el and more freight will be shipped, and
the aggregate of receipts will be larger
than eyer.
