Cleveland and silver.

The following letter from President
Cleveland is one in reply to Governor
Northen, of Georgia, and is published
that our readers may know the Chief
Executives position on the silver ques-
ton:
Executive Mansion,
Washington, ID. O., Sept. II,
Hon. w. J Northen:
NV Dear Sir--I hardly know how
to reply to your letter of the 10th inst.
II seems to me that am quite plainly
on record concerning the financial
question. My letter accepting the
nomination to the presidency, when
read in connection with the message
lately sent to congress in extraordina-
ry session, appears to me to be very
explicit.

safe in the hands of our people, l
will not knowingly be implicated in q
condition that will justly make me in
the least degree answerable to any la
borer or farmer in the United States
for shrinkagc in the purchasing pow
er of the dollar he has received for a

good dollars worth of product of his

abroad our wisdom aud good faith,

our credit among the nations of the
earth.

frightened man from boarding his
money.

and condition of confidence that will

| Within the limits of what l have
written, am friend of silver, but
believe its proper place in our curren-

of our currency legislation and the in
auguration of consistent and com
prehensive financial scheme. | thinl
such thing can only be entered upor
profitably and hopefully after the re
peal of the law, which is charged wit
all our financial woes. In the pres
ent state of the public mind, thi

southern Cotton Mills.

Recent statistics prove that Southern
cotton mills have continued to prosper
and to make money all through the
financial panic which is now passing
away. While manufactures in the
North have suspended or failed, the
southern mills have kept open and
have made money. This is only nat
ural, and it should be significant OBJ
Jet lesson to investors. When u mill
is situated in the midst of raw materi-
al of its outfit it is the almost sure to
prosper. AS much as the tobacco bus
mess has been overdone in Virginia,
we hardly ever hear of the failure of
Il factory. The reason is apparent.
No freight, no loss in transit, no
shrinkage of weight or deterioration
IN value. Still, in the South there are
as yet phenomenally small number
of cotton mills. The advantages of
more would be obvious, and it is now
proven that they would prove profita-
bic in all emergencies, The advanta-
gcs of home mills to the planters
would prove of inestimable advantage,
A market at first hands and the salvage
of many commissions would be saved.
so also would money be saved on the
purchase of cotton goods, both in
price, III freight, and i'll the usclessiy
added profits of intermediary agents
between buyer and seller. 1t would
seem that the matter would not need
urging. Memphis Commercial.

Industrial Conditions of the South.

The Tradesnan, Chattanooga, Tenn.
in its review of the industrial situation
in the south for the week, states that
the week shows no material change in
industrial, financial and mercantile
circles. There is somewhat increas-
ed demand for money, as cotton is
coming in more freely, and there is a
sufficient supply thereof for present
needs. There is no change to report
in the iron market. Cotton and wool
EN- mills are now generally in full OPP
GRAFTON, and other industrial branches
continue with nc change for the
worse, if none can be reported for the
better.
Collections are growing easier. 1t
is believed that owing to economy
practised during the growing season,
changes in crop production, and cur
tailments in advances on the crops,
Southern farmers were never so free
from debt as at present. Business
during the fall and winter should be
unusually good. Less money being
needed to pay for supplies, and for
past indebtedness, more than hereto.
fore will be available for improve
ments of all kinds.
The TraGesman reports thirty-two
new Industries established or incorpo-
rated during the week, together with
four engagements of manufactures,
and twelve important new buildings.
