A representative Of the New York
Times a few days ago made tour among
the New York agents Of coastwise steam
ship lines TO ascertain what were the
prospects Of southern trade, as indicated
by the movement of exchanges of prod
ucts between the north and south. The
outlook he found TO be very bright" ac-
cordlng to the statement Of each agent.
The south bound business TO the middle
of August wass according to the agents
hardly up 70 the normal, but about that
time a revival set in, which has continued
during September. The south, however,
has all along been doing proportionately
more business than the west. The money
stringency affected the south to some ex-
tent, but to a less degree than any other
sectionof the country.
All of the coastwise lines. except the
Mallory. are sending out their usual num-
Der of ships. The Mallory line has dis
continued its Brunswick service
temporarily, for obvious reasons.
There have as yet been few extra sail
ings, but the ships in service have full
freights and the agents, in anticipation of
the growing business, have made ar
engagements to put on extra ships as soon
as needed.
Theagents conclude, from the heavy and
assorted freights, that business in the
south is on the eve of a boom. New York
is sending a wonderful variety and
a gratifying amount of goods south, - said
one agent; the list includes almost
everything manufactured" 4 speak
from a knowledge of the facts" said
Agent Eyer, Of the Clyde Line, in say
ing that the outlook is brilliant. 1 never
felt more encouraged than 1 do now. 5"
The repeal Of the Sherman law" said
the manager of the Old Dominion Steam
ship Company, would materially aid the
revival of trade" eve are sending five
ships, loaded down, to the south every
week, said the manager of the Mallory
line The Ocean Steamship Company sends
five steamers per week from New York,
Boston and Philadelphia and the Mer-
chants and Miners company sends two
steamers per week from Baltimore to
Savannah, all bearing good freights each
way
There is nothing the matter with the
south's business. 1t is in good shape
but would be made better by proper ac-
ton on the part Of the Senate

A wrona View ofsouthern Democrats

a Wrong View ofSouthern Democrats
The Philadelphia Press, in q double
loaded editorial giving the reasons why
the repeal Of the elections law is being
PASSED al this time. says. The southern
democrats are for free silver They are
impoverished, in debt, in deep struggle,
and they hug the delusion that free
silver and more money will bring them
relief"
The statement Of the Press that the
southern democrats are for free silver and
that they are impoverished and believe
that free silver coinage viii give them
financial relief is a mistake The southern
democrats may not be opposed to the free
coinage Of silver on the terms mentioned
in the national democratic platform,
namely, the maintenance Of parity be-
tween gold currency and silver currency,
but they are not demanding free silver
coinage on the terms offered by the silver
ties in congress.
The Press has in mind a debased silver
currency. 1t can be stated without fear
Of successful contradiction that the south
ern people don't want that kind of a cur
y n q
papers IN theI south favor the immediate
and unconditional repeal of the Sherman
silver law, and all the resolutions that
have been passed at public meetings
in the south since the silver question be
came prominent call for the repeal Of that
law without any substitute for silver.
And it is not true that southern demo
Gratis are impoverished, and that "they
hug the delusion that free silver will
bring them relief' Speaking for Geor-
gia and Florida it is certain that the peo-
pie Of these states have not been IN better
financial condition for many years. From
all parts of this state the report comes
that farmers have an abundance, that they
are comparatively free from debt, and that
the present year is one of the most pros
porous they have been known for a long
time
The Press is talking without knowing
the facts. There is no distress in the
south, and the Press has no authority for
asserting there is. That paper is so anx-
ious 10 sustain the views it is advocating
in respect to the elections bill that it
does not hesitate to make unwarranted
assertions.
In indirectly suggesting that the bill to
repeal the Sherman silver law should be
permit ted to fail if its failure would pre-
vent the repeal of the election laws, the
Press shows it cannot rise above par
tisan level, although it knows very well
that the bill to repeal
the Sherman law is not
a partisan measure while the bill to re
peal the election laws is. The whole
country is interested in having the Sher-
man silver law repealed. If the Press
were broad enough TO see public questions
from the standpoint of the public good it
wouldn't find it necessary to SANDER the
south in the matter of the silver question
in the hope of gaining partisan advan-
tage from such slanderOus publications.
