UNJUST DENUNCtATIoN UF
TIE SOUTH.

The Manufacturers Recond of
Baltimore sage;
"Uuder no circumstances will /
advise emphasis last week by lead
ing New England money in the
South until the people of that Sec
tion cease their clsmor for free sill
yer Or wild cat currency" Such
Was the statement made with un
usual emphasis last week by lead
ing New Highlander in private Coli
versation. The Manufacturers Re
cord is no triend to any of the popu
listic teachings of some Southern
people, nor to any wild cat curren
cy; it has always opposed the agra
riap spirit that has sought to i'm
pose uhwise laws upon railroads
and other corporations, but it in
SITS that our New England friend
WAS unduIy alarmed. The South
is ss safe a section as any other
part of this country. 1t gives birth
TO no Coxey army business such as
is low so seriously disturbing the
West, in which New England has
invested so many hundreds of mil
lions. Had Coxey and his recruits
come from the South the papers
of New England, and many in New
York and Philadelphia, would have
been bur1entd with bitter denuncia
iions of tie whole South and OF
everything in the South. Capital
and settlers would have been warn
ed to keep away from that section,
and the evil ELECTS would have last
ed for years. Cunning from the
West and from the North, though,
Coxey and bis traInps are not re-
garded as opponents of those sec
tons, and no one is warned by the
press that the West is an unsafe
place for investments.
Every trifiing infraction made OF
law, every foolish suggestion made
by some politician seeking noiorie-
ty, every false theory of finance
that may be promulgated in the
South, is taken by Northern papers
as text upon which to preach
many sermons against '"the world,
the flesh and"-the Soutb.
