The Winning Policy.

Yesterday we reproduced from The

stated that q man in Dalton presented
TWO checks at - bank. One was for q

other was for two small hogs and called
Cor $2G.

There is whole volume of economies

lesson is so plain that it requires no

longer, and ii looks very much like King

Yet there is way TO restore cotton's

More Cotton Mills.

The Boston Journal of Commerce
gives the following interesting figures
in regard to the growth of cotton manu-
faCturing:
In 1880, in round numbers, there was in
vested in the United States in the manu-
facture of cotton sos 000,000, which had in
creased in 1890 to $5ji 100000. The per cent
OF increase in the New England states was
IS; in the middle states. Sc; in the western
states, IL; in the southern states, 2O9' or
from $17 7S97 to S55S21, 300. The number OF
Gotten operatives employed in 1850 was H.
900 in the whole country. In 1880 the number
had increased to 221, 0G0 IN New England
the increase was 1856 per cent; in the mid
die states, 1902 per cent; in the western
states, 41.S3 per cent; in the southern states,
122 per cent. The total amount of wages
paid in the country increased between 1851
and 1880 from $4,000 600 TO $50 900. In New
England the increase was 5jtI per cent; in
the middle states, e. 70 per cent; in the west
ern states, 1881 per cent; in the southern
states, 1920 per cent. The number OF
pounds of cotton used in all the works OF
the country Increased from 150OO0UUO 10
liz 90o.c0). In New England the increase
was 3 per cent; in the middle states, I''"o
per cent; in the western states, tO2o per
cent; in the southern states, $3.50 per
cent. The value Of the total product OF the
cotton factories Of the United States, when
in 1880 was $I92,Og0000, increased TO S-oS-
100000 in 1890. The average value per capita
in the south in 1890 was $l.1l692, ana in Ne"
England $1,217.S2. Georgia and South caro-
lima in 1890 paid out in wages So,6oO,V0O IN
stead of $l,9O0000, as in 1soO.
Our contemporary says that the large
percentage OF gain i'll cotton manufac-
turing in the south shown III these sta
tiSticS has been more than maintained
in the past four years. 1t predicts that
in the next few years the gain i'll cotton
spinning will be mainly confined to the
south. Northern mills viii devote them
selves TO finer goods, aud the coarsef
goods will be made in the south where
they can be produced much cheaper
than in the north, and it is likely that
large proportion of the print cloths
now being turned out by northern looms
will be transferred To the south. Many
of the new southern mills, the Boston
paper says, not only have the advantage
of cheaper cotton and cheaper labor, but
ALSO Cf the very latest improved mod
ern machinery The best equipped
northern mill would be heavily handi-
capped in successfully competing with
the south in the cost of production.
This seems to be the unanimous Opin-
ion of the northern mill owners, and
it is freely expressed in their trade
journals If our people feel any doubts
about the profitable character of the
cotton mill industry in this section the
frank testimony of their northern COM
petitors should convince them that these
enterprises offer the biggest returns for
the money invested in them.

Parkhurst and His Methods.

Measured by results, the Rev. DR..
Parkhurst is undoubtedly the most sue
cessful of al the American rcrormers
of tie present day.
About two years ago the doctor. single
handed ana alone. began his famous
crusade against the then existing reign
OF Vice and corruption in New York. His
heart was in his work. and lie ncryed
himself TO meet the storm of ridiculo
and abuse which he knew would soon
burst upon his head.
Month after month this resolute and
fearless man plodded through the slums
He took with him one or two trust
worthy men whose testimony would
have weight. ana together they visited
the disreputable houses whose inmates
engaged nightly in abandoned orgies
and obscene exhibitions which would
have shamcd even the most calious yo-
tarics Of vice in the worst quarters Of
Paris.
When these revelations were first
made there was a powerful opposition
arraycd against Parkhurs; 1t was said
that minister had no right TO become
detective and familiarize himself with
the worst and groSSeSt forms of inn
morality. and that his crusade would do
more harm than good. But PdrkhursJ
knew what he was about lie was after
the facts. ana he believed that when
the truth was made public he would
win. The newspapers gradually stopped
their ridicule and came 10 his support,
and the city politicians and police
officials BEGAN to feel uneasy. They saw
that there were tremendous pOssiDiii-
ties ia this terrible preacher who went
about with an emotionless face, note
book in hand. watching nude women
ana Matchmaking policemen.
Finally. an indignant people ranged
themselves on the side Of Plrkhurst
and then came the LuXow Investigation.
1t would be impossible 10 summarize
here the results The testimony made
IL plain that with few exceptions the

The Conscienceiess Cuckoos.

All of the cuckoo organs are being kept
busy i'm digesting the food being cram
med down their craws. They have not
vet reached the point of upheaval, and
whether or not that interesting period
will ever arrive remains to be seen.
When the SJ0,0OO,O00 bond issue was
saddled on the people in February last
these organs accepted it as matter
Of absolute necessity. Then. when The
Constitution and other organs OF the
neople. announced that this WAS simply
the forerunner of other issues their in
dignation could not be restrained in
reasonable bounds. They ranted and
tore their hair and swore that such
prediction could be prompted by no
ether motive than an unfri@ndly atti-
tude to Mr.. Cleveland.
Then. month after month. they have
approached the new bond plumber as
follows:
April: The report that February's bond
Issue viii be followed by another is simply
another insdiOus attack on MI. SleFe-
land. or course nobody believes II.
May: The kici1ers are stin talking about
bonds. VIII the soreheads never stop
June: The talk of another bond issue in
New York is entirely premature. There IS
nothing in il.
July: The gold reserve is decreasing and
the credit Of the government must be
maintained. But this can be done without
another issue of bonds.
August: Mr.. Benedict thinks there VIII
be another issue of bonds soon. Neither
the president nor ar Carlisle gives au-
thority for any such opinion.
September: Mr.. Benedict has been in con-
ference with the New York ban6ers. There
IS renewed talk OF another bond issue.
October: The gold reserve is stin de-
creasing. The kiczers are stilI trying 10
make il appear right in the midst Of the
campaign that another issue OF bonds viii
soon b announced. This iusidious attack
on the party just before the election should
be rebulcd. The party has more 70 fear
from the l-ickers inside Of It than from the
enemies outside.
November 18th: The probability is that .
%..e1vuJ bond issue VIII be announced to-
morrow.
November 18th: The bond issue will be
advertised today. Il is an imperative ne
cessiIy. Now the kic1crs win proceed 4,

The Cotton Crop.

The estimate of crop Of ten and a
quarter million bales put forth the other
day from New Orleans, has had the eff
feet Of accelerating the downward ten
dency Of cotton. There are many Symp-
toms going to show that cotton experts
do not place any too much confidence in
this high estimate, and there are rea-
sons for believing that the crop viii not
be many bales in excess of that OF
1S9091, which was about nine million
bales.
Bur cotton has had 10 face other con-
ditions. It has had to face the dcpres-
sion caused both in this country and in
Europe by the increasing value of the
metal in which people are compelled
to pay their debts and transact their
business. This depression has very ma
tcriallv lessencd the demand OF consum-
ers. and this, in turn has compelled the
mills to cut down their takingS. The
law Of supply and demand consists OF n
series OF wheels within wheels so to
speak If Europe and this country were
on Il level of prosperity tenmillion-
bale crop this year would just about
meet the demand comfortably The un-
consumed surplus would not amount TO
much. But. under the present cOndi-
tons even an eight-milliou-bdle crop
would be in the nHtJre az oYcrproduc-
tion-not because IL would be too much
FOR the worlds consumption, but because
ID would ice more than consumers are
able TO buy IF the demands Of the
people were regulated by their neceSsi-
ties. The results would lee Different, but

competitor with the American product
but by causing silver 70 BE- dcmonetized
in this country and ~ Europe, and by
closing the miuts Of India against it,
without materially reducing its purchas-
iuS power among the natives Of that
country, England has so deprecated the
market value Of silver, as compared
Vith gold, that she can now take three
pence worth Of that metal and buy n
pound of Indian cotton laid down in
Liverpool The three pence the Indian
producer gets for his cotton is worth II
cents in the payment Of debts and in
purchasing power. and consequently he
is selling his cotton n large profit.
The American producer is compelled to
meet this price in Liverpool. and he
must consequently take three pence for
his cotton. lie sells his cotton ut the
Indian silver price. bat his three pence

Here lies the trouble of the American
cotton grower.

Ginseng is root almost worth its
weight in gold in China, and Secretary
Morton in his last report recommends
its cultivation in this country.
Formerly we shipped S1,O00,000 worth
of ginseng to China every year. but
the supply has fallen off, and COrea
now furnishes nearly al of it.
The Chinese regard this plant as q
cure for almost every disease. They be-
lieve that the root possesses intelligence,
and powers Of locOmotion which enable
it to run away to escape capture. They
also believe that it is guarded by the
tiger the leopard. the wolf and the
snake, animals appointed By the gods
10 protect it.
A root weighing three or four ounces
sells for 5000, but the American article
commands only 50 pound. In C0rea
it is cultivated under government super
vision, but in this country 'the plant
grows wild in the mountain regions.
The Chinese say that the virtue Of the
plant is not in it's material composition,
but in a mysterious power appertaininS
to it through being produced wholly
apart from human influence under the
care of 4 boneficent spirit.
But while the Chinese will pay any
price for this root, and viii consume
all that can be produced, the medical
men of Europe and America have never
found any curative power in it. Oar
Indian tribes. however, agree with the
Chinese and regard ginseng as valu-
able medicine.
Many localities in the south are well
suited to the cultivation Of this plant.
and there is no danger 0f OverprOduc-
ton. The Chinese would rather go
without clothes than so without ginseng.
