GOVERNOR PULLMAN HITS THE NEWS AND
 COURIER BETWEEN THE EYES.

COURIER BETWEEN THE EYES.
 COLUMBIA. s. o., Sept. H.-Governor Tillman, in speaking of the editorial of the Charleston News and Courier recently sent out by the Southern Press, which purports to correct some statement emanating from Baltimore in reference to the Darlington dispensary riot, said:
 ''The News and Courier is taking ad- vantage of it's position as agent of the As- sociated Press to prostitute that institution and to islander and misrepresent me and the state administration and to fal5ify the facts about the Darlington riot.
 It has been using it's power for four years to misrepresent me. It will then copy the comments of outside papers when they have received their information from such lying source and supposed they had got ten the truth. The paper cannot hurt me, and is using it's privileges to try to hurt me abroad. It is distortng, perverting and coloring out of all decency and reason what it has to say."

From a treo to printed newspaper in twenty -four hours is probably the best time on rec- ord.'

and half or three millions to the State. It is true that this is only an estimate, and doubtless falls far short of the actual amount. If this money had been forced back to the local banks and had been nsed in stimulating and encouraging the com mereial and industrial interests, we should have different state of affairs from that which now exists in many localities. Be- sides, the local bank which has it's reserve on deposit in a reserve bank must also keep for its daily use a sum sufficient to transact its current business, which it cannot loan, and by this means there is withheld from the channels of trade and industry con. siderable sum of money. or course, this does not imply that all the reserve could be used for current purposes, but part of it might be so used, when the deposit in re- served banks is counted. Some complaint has been made against local banks for not Ioaning out more money in hard times. It is because the banks have preferred to keep their money locked up in reserve bank at low rate of interest, rather than to loan 1t locally at higher rate, when the money cannot be commanded with some degree of certainty. Yet it must be manifest that if the deposit in the reserve bank was utterly profitless the local bank would be com pelled to let out it's money at home rather than have it lie idle in a reserve bank. It must make profits to pay dividends to stockholders.
 Therefore, if Congress would adopt meas ures to prevent this vast accumulation of money in the reserve banks in reserve cities, it would prevent the depletion from which the towns and cities outside of the reserve cities have suffered so severely. It would force the money of local banks into use in their own localities and help the whole country. The plan that seems best calculated to meet this difficulty is to pre- vent National banks in reserye> cities from paying interest to cttaaef banks on deposits and require all National banks to keep ~tnelf reserve money, or at least the major part of it, in their own vaults. This would increase the home circulation and give an ample volume of currency for home enter prises. MT. Cleveland, with characteristic wisdom, has seen and admitted that there is defect in the monetary circulation of the country.

ohinery for crushing ores, aud chemistry for gathering their riches, give our gold hunters results not comprehensible h former ages. In the finding, the handling and the development of the ores of the precious metals, we have the modern im provements. Therefore, the supply of gold is being rapidly increased. There are new discoveries la the Americas from Alaska to Patagonia. South Africa has immeasura- ble stores of low grade ores--of flour gold in fine sand. And the most remarkable find has been in western Australia. The Yukon river and the Fraser river gold re- ports are more promising than those that aroused the country in 1918 about Cali fornia. The Australian and African official reports read like fairy stories, but the gold product thrown on the market confirms the marvels.
 Since the repeal of the silver purchasing act by our congress we have had frequent bulletins of gold mining in Colorado. There has been more gold coined within year than ever before in the history of the world. There is more gold in London, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam than ever be- fore. The increase of gold in the national banks of Europe coincides with the greater activity of the gold hints, and with the news of the day that there never were so many or so opnlent sources Of supply. All this is in evidence that there IS to be an overproduction of gold, as there has been of cotton, whsBt and silver. Join this to the demand for silver made by the Chinese and Japanese war, and silver is apprecia- ting, and the tendencies are marked that the gap between gold and silver IS in course of being closed. That is what Senator Sherman, the strongest in wisdom and the greatest in experience of our fnauciers, means when he says the silver question will solve itself. The new gold aug ments the wealth of mankind, giving the advantage to labor in greater degree than to capital and is an imitation that improves credit. Altogether, it means that the generation Is presently to have a gold boom-a glorious efluence of good times.

RELIEF FOR FINANCIAL CONGES-
 TON

When the cotton crop is marketed money will flow to the South. There is great volume of currency in the country, but it is congested in the money centers, thus caueing the extremities to become cold. The legacy of financial legislation left by the Republican party in the administration of the National banking act has tended to the accumulation of the moneyed capital of the country iu few large cities. Since the panic of 1893 New York city alone had such vast sums in her National banks that the amount exceeded the reserve req uired to be kept by the sum of over $70 ,0O0, ,000. There is no doubt this policy has been fos- tered by the great National banks in the central cities. To understand this 1t may be we'll to state that the National banks are required by law to keep certain per centum Of their deposits in legal tender money as reserve. Certain cities, as New York, Boston, Philadelphia. Chicago, etc. are denominsted reserve cities, and the banks in reserve cities are required to keep 25 per cent of deposits, while banks outside of reserve cities are only required to keep 15 per cent. Upon application to the Comptroller any National bank in 8 reserve city may be
 
 tiopal bank and the amount on deposit with the reserve bank counts as part of the reserve of the depositor bank, as if it was legal tender money. In order to encour- age the deposit of reserve money with them the great National banks of the reserve cities have agreed to pay from 1k to per cent for the reserve of National banks, and during the last year 1t was reduced as low as per cent per annum. This is low rate of interest, yet the money is subject to command at times when needed, and the bank also generally affords accommo- dations to its customers at call, charging 5 per cent to per cent, according to cur- rent rates of interest.
 It is estimated by those who have given some attention to it, that the Southern States had on deposit with the banks in central reserve cities during the past year not less than $50, GOO, 900, an average of two

THE Birmingham iron is the great foundry iron of the United States. It is in great demand in the North, for it is the cheapest foundry iron that can be obtained, and in fact is about the only foundry iron obtainable- It is manufactured into all kinds of castings, piping, etc. These articles are the necessaries of life and will always be in demand. The principal com petiior to the Birmingham iron is the Scotch foundry. Until recently great deal of this Scotch iron was shipped to the United States, but the Birmingham iron has run it out of the market. A Scotch iron master visited the Birmingham dis trict fifteen years ago and as soon as he saw the Birmingham iron he said it would run the Scotch iron out of America. His prediction has been fulfilled. The Eastern iron makers have been contending all along for protection against foreign iron, when really they needed pro lection against Alabama iron. The Alabama iron Is the ferret that has run them out of their holes.

QUIETUDE.

With the downfall of Wilson and
Cleveland comes quietude to the
country. On this earth nothing
brings more solace than asettlement.
After disquietude, there comes,
through settlement, quietude. Will
ing hands and level heads will now
find employment for the maintenance
of families and greater prosperity
for those who have to make their
living by their Drawn and brain. 1t
will be home TO the home maker and
not the destruction of home by the
freetrader. 1t will be work for our
home people the reunited and re-
lighted home factories and home en-
terprises for our own people as
against the world. 1t will be the
blessed atmosphere of home protec-
ton as against the sinister danger
Gus and ruinous theories and prac-
tices of those who seek our markets
for their own profit and in which
they do not recognize but seek to
overcome and pauperize our home
labor, as o III = S to belittle the capt.
al and genus Of this great Ameri-
can nation. This quietude, will
again present to the world, gigan-
tic front, which if sustained as it
should be by our people will make
our nation the greatest on earth.
Cur people should never forget, that,
they have their own homes to live
for and, when necessary, to protect.
Every school boy should be taught
this principle. Even in New York
City with the bane of Tammany' 3
infence this lesson in the past cleo
ton has been thoroughly exemplified.
In the quietude and the peace that
the late election brings to all classes
OF people, why should any be found
working for the safety of nntaxed
Industries of other countries as
against what we can and are COM
petent to do by our own home peo-
pie. If it is a matter of charity,
then give, but if it is a matter of
duty to our own homes, then we
should stick there and maintain home

A WONDERFUL ExHIBITIoN.-Th
exhibition of Mr.. Earnest Thumel,
at the Fi:emen's Fair,on Wednesday
night of last week, was Of the most
wonderful that has ever been seen
here. In his bare feet, without any
preparations ofany kind being used,
he walked and jumped on a pile of
broken glass, danced on it. and then
turned handspring and landed in
the midst OF it. He then took beer
bottle and breaking off the bot
tom placed his foot in the ragged
end gave his body swing and made
several revolutionswith all his weight
upon it. He then took piece of
card board which had been filed
with tacks and danced and jumped
upon their points. In doing all this
his feet were unipjured, truly re-
markable performance. Mr.. Thumel
will in a short time, give another ex-
hibition, IN which he will climb a
latter of sharpened swords, and will
use one as sharp as razor as hor-
izontal bar, on which with his naked
hand be will perform all manner of
difficult teats. He will allow any
physician to examine his hands and
feet and requests at all entertain
ments that the audience will send a
committee TO The stage to assure
themselves that there is 10 fraud
practiced.- World.

y. S. SENATOR.

There will be considerable ques-
ton as to who will be the next U.
S. Senator from this State. II Hon.
Stephen B. Elkins don't want the
position, why we will take it. But,
if he wants it, we want it positively
and particularly understood that we
are for him, first, last and all the
time. There are a great many other
good men Of high standing and of
the finest capacity who might be
elected, and with credit to themselves
and the country, but We believe that
even such persons would recognize
the propriety of casting the full vote
for United States Senator for Hon.
S. B. EIkins. Gen. Golf, were he
not on the bench of the judiciary,
might make q formidable candidate,
but with Cleveland's appointing
power to life position of so high a
grade as Gen. Golf now holds, that
would be impossible.
