AT the last great fair in this city there
was some fine dressing by the box mold

IN an article upon gold exports,
t 20 Atlanta Constitution suggests
that the United States might stop
the expectation Of its gold in the
same way that France does. 1t is
said that the Bank of France charges
a premium upon all gold drawn out
for expectation, and that a measure
prevents its being exported.
We do not very we'll zee how the
government, 30 long as it redeems its
notes at par, on presentation, can dis
criminate against all exporter, and
therefore do not think the export of
gold can be stopped by such means.
But why stop it? II ought TO lie
just as profitable to export the gold
produced III this country, as any
other Of its productions.
The fact is, the cont rual agitation
OF the subject OF finance aud the ap-
parent alarm and apprehension as
TO lne diminishing STOCK OF goId
seems to be only among the fellows
who make their living out of that
sort of thing. The great body of the
people neither know nor care any
lhing about it. With country
possessed of the most abundant re-
sources in the world, aud trade bal
snce always in our favor, they feel
perfect confidence in the quality
and quantity of the money We shall
always have and are utterly posed
to the country's being thrown into
panic by the splculations OF Wall
Street, VINO are the only ones that
profit by violent fluctuations in
prices.

he is not infallible. And it is just
as wrong, just as outrageous, just as
unwise in him to make mug
wump with Republican tendencies
and autecedents his Prime Minister,
as it would be in any other Demo
cratic President to do the same
thing. 1t is unreasonable to ask our
Democratic Senators and Congress
men to support policy of State,
formulated, concocted aud promul-
gated by Secretary of State who
is Republican in every sense of the
word except that he believes in tariff
reform and voted for Mr.. Cleveland.
There is such thing as a mau be-
ing too independent, too hold,
TOO aggressive. The President-elect
should have some respect for the
wishes Of the Democratic Senators
and Congressman, whose confidence
and support he must have il order
10 relieve the country OF the bur
deus Republican lule has heaped
upon it. If Mr.. Cleveland wantonly
insults the leaders OF the party by
pCeferring notorious mugwump
over them. wha, may Mr.. Cleveland
expect from Democratic Senate
and Democratic House, other than
that they will look with suspicion
both upon the Chief Executive and
his Prime Minister? By all the
Gods at once, has it come to this that
Democratic statesmen have grown
so small that they must crawl be-
tween the legs of Republican-Popu-
list Mugwump? The HERALD ad-
mires and loves Mr.. Cleveland; but
it does not admire his mugwumpery
and its does not love his faults.

A FEW weeks ago Senator Whit
thorne of this district introduced q
bill in the Senate ITO declare all
obligations 10 pay attorneys fees
upon any note or other evidence Of
Indebtedness void, and to prohibit
collection of the same" At least so
read the caption, as reported by the
American; and as we read only the
caption of the bill, the full text not
having been published, We naturally
inferred that the purpose of the bill
was to bar the collection of all at
torney's fees, specified in such note+.
Under this impression we published
an unfavorable criticism upon the
bill. We Low learn from the Sena-
tor that our inference in regard to the
purpose of the bill was incorrect, a.
the real intent was merely to bar the
collection OF attorneys fee from the
makers o. notes, when no litigation
was necessary in their collection,
With such h purpose in view we
entirely commend the bill and should
be glad to see it become a law. Any
creditor who places a note in the
hands of an attorney TO collect be-
fore the note is due, merely to enable
him to demsnd attorneys fees, when
the terms of the note make it POI sible,
and when no litigation is necessary
to collect it, is certainly very repre-
hensible Not only should the collec-
ton Of fees under such circumstances
be barred, but it might not be amiss
to make tbs law reach still further,
and bar the collection OF the princi-

The people OF the SOutn VINO Waul
to put on their thinking caps and
buckle down to the solution OF a
problem OF really great import to
the South, should give the general
subject of cotton manufacture seri-
Gus consideration. The Southern
half of the Unitel States ia practi-
cally without rival and without
competition, in the production Of
cotton. Though cotton is grown
elsewhere, there are limitations upon
the quantity; and in the mater OF
quality, no other cotton can compare
with that grown ia the Southern
states. Tnis ractislly gives this
section of the country the control OF
the production Of raw cotton. But
strange to say, with the raw material
at our doors, we do not manufacture
five per cent of the total manufac-
tured product In 'a"t we do not
manufsc ure any but the coarsest and
cheapest goods.
This fact is the more remarkable,
when we reflect that we do not man
ufacture but a small proportion even
OF the goods we consume ourselves.
In other words, we pay commis-
sions on selling, freight, storage,
compress ling, drayage, insurance,
stealage aud freight back to the point
of original production, and the
profits of half dozen middle mel,
to the extent of at least twenty-five
per cent on the cost of the raw ma
terial, for the goods we u3e, instead OF
manufacturing them ourselves. This
is very remarkable fact to be laid
to the NC .ount OF All intelligent and
industrious people. But it is all the
more remarkable, when taken in
connection with the fact that quite n
number OF cotton factories in the
South are extremely profitable.
II New Eug aud, the building and
profitable running OF one factory
stimulates Others to go into the same
thing, an almost, If not quite with
out exception co ton factories and
indeed all lines of manufacture in
the North have been profitable. In
the South on the other hand, while
some factories have been notably
successful, but few people have been
stimulated to follow their example,
and strange to say, in many instan-
ces where the conditions have been
Identical, one factory has succeeded
when another has failed. The cot
ton factory at Columbis has been
profitable, while that at Browns
vile in the heart of the cotton grow
ing region has failed. At Columbia,
S. c., in East Tennessee, at Pratt
vile and OUher points in Alabama,
at Yves ON, Miss aud still other
places, the mills have made good
profits, while at Memphis, Little
ROcG, and a number of other places
though 'h-y had the same advantage
of twenty-five per cent on the cost OF
raw material, the mills have been
run at a dead loss.
The greatest possible factor in the
general prosperity of the South wal
some day be found in the mauufac
ture of our own products at home
Let us then give this subject oul
gravest consideration. There is alb
soluteiy N good reason why cotton
mills should not pay in every towr
in the whole South, nor why we
should not manufacture every pound
