Brighter in the South.

1t is very gratifying to learn that
there are signs of solid and genu-
inc revival in the South. The boom
experiences, with their long tails OF
failures and discouragements, have
gone by, and in their wake are
the useful lessons which teach the
limits Of speculation and the neces-
sity of prudence. Out Of misfor-
tune the best of wisdom is born,
and from the booms come results
Of the highest and most permanent
value. Never again will the South
60 on another orgie of speculation.
After this, there will be large adj
vances in growth and in prices. but
they will be founded on real values
and not upon the adjectives of pro-
fessional manipulators. So, after
all, the South may have gained
from the verJ general attack Of
boom fever.
One excellent indication of new
growth and development is the or
ganized effort to attract investment
to the centers Of population. In
nearly every city there is a strong
movement to advertise thu. town
The young men have come forward
nobly, and the result is bound to b,
beneficial. With it will be larger
demands for goods, and thus trade
will grow. Proofs of its value arr
coming in the jobbing houses o.
Baltimore. The Soath is buying
and that means much. The citie
are telling of their advantages, an'
that means more. Like the beauti
full young giantess that she is, tn
South is rising from her depression
with confidence and strength

WASHINGTON LETTER,
LFrom our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON. D. G. Feb. 81
Harmony among the democratic
Senators on the tariff bill is not yet
as complete as it might se, al
though concessions have been made
that It was hoped would secure it.
Having held the bill until they
could see no prospect of benefit to
be gained by further delay. the sub
committee this morning submitted
it to the full Finance committee
which in turn submitted it to a
caucus of democratic Senators, not
for a purpose of compelling any
Senator to support it, but for a sort
of family consultation at which all
complaints could de heard and ev-
erybody could have chance to aid
IN bringing about that harmoni"u1
action that will he absolutely nee
essary to pass the bill, even allow
ing that the populist Senators will
vote for it, as they say they will be-
cause of the retention of the income
tax. The caucus appears to have @
good effect and Senators who have
been worrying are now smiling ov'
er the prospects for democratic uni
ty.
It is expected that the Finance
committee will at once report TIT
bill to the Senate, although there
are indications of an intention OF
the part of the republican member
of the committee to attempt to Gle
Law action on the plea that the,
should be given time to prepare
minority report against the bill
They may be given several days t.
prepare their report, but the demo
cratic sentiment is so strongly il
favor Of prompt and speedy actor
) that their time is bound to be Gu
short. They should not really b
given a day, as the report can b
made at any time after the bill ha
been reported.

TRUE AS THE GOSPEL.

At recent business convention
Governor Francis, of Missouri. who
is in a position to know whereof he
speaks. paid tribute to the local
newspaper as follows:-
Each year the local paper gives
from $4,000 to $500 in free lines
to the community in which it is To-
Gated. NJ No ' other agency can or will
do this. The editor, in proportion
to his me- means, does more for his
town than any other ten men, and
in all fairness with men he ought
to be be supported-not because yop
like him or admire his writings, but
because the local paper is the best
investment a community can make.
1t may not be brilliantly edited or
crowded with thought, but fnanci-
ally it is Of more benefit to the COM
mu1Jnity than the teacher or preach

Wool and the Tariff.

Notwithstanding the general
business depression last year and
the uncertainty about the tariff our
imports of foreign wool were the
largest in the history of the coun-
try. Following are the figures, be-
ginning in 1890 and covering the
full time of the operation Of the
Mckinley tariff:
1890, los, 431, 1856 pounds; 1891,
129,303, 64S pounds; 1892, 14S,67O,
652 pounds; 1893, 172,433,838
pounds.
This ought to open the eyes of
wool-growers. In 1893 the wool
duties amounted to $147,320.30.
Notwithstanding this heavy tax
there has been a steady increaae in
the importations of foreign wool.
In 1884 there were only 7S,350,651
pounds. A jump of 100000
pounds is big one. The manu-
facturer must have the foreign wool
at any price if they are to run their
mills and the more they are forced
to pay for it through the tariff du-
ties the less they can afford to pay
for domestic wool, which is of diff
ferent quality, to mix with it and
the more shoddy they must use to
make both ends meet in their busi-
ness. The results, which all Stats
tics prove. are lower prices for A
merican wool and an inferior quail
ty Of goods for the American con-
sumner. This is the history Of the
wool tariff.
There is no reason on earth why
American wooden manufacturers
should not make the best and finest
goods at as small cost as their for
eign competitors, except the insane
notion that the duty OH foreign
wool is protection to the American
wool-grower, with whose product
foreign wool does not compete

As far as we are able to judge,
from all our exchanges from differ
ent parts Of the country, the "hard
times" so much talked of and so
long and deeply felt, are being grad
ually but surely pushed aside.
" News from all over the country
seem to indicate general revival
OF business. Working men who
have been idle for many n months are
being re-e%%lpllo,yed. Old industries ~
shut down are resuming operations
and new ones are starting up.
An increase of men on full time
with larger wages has taken the
place of low wages, short time and
a small force. The general outlook
is certainly more encouraging than
for some time past, and it j. to be
hoped that good times are as near
at hand as the life-giving months
of Spring.

TELEPHONE.

AS nothing has appeared in our
columns for several weeks, about
the telephone, don't think the ven
4 ire has gone the way of all preVl-
GUS moves of this character.
We have encouraging news to
report.
Mr. S. B. Sieg holds a subscrip-
ion paper with $500 On it, which
amount was raised with very little
effort in Monterey. We nave let
ter from a gentleman in Staunton
Who says he will subscribe 500
and will visit this county in short
while to aid in obtaining the bal
ance.
Mcdowell, West Augusta and
,Churchville should be as deeply in
terested in this move as Monterey
and if tn, y will do as the citizens Of
Monterey have done, the amount
can be raised without further delay,
and the line can be completed in a
very short time. A charter can be
obtained from Judge Mclaughlin
at any time. and AS this great con-
venience is within our grasp we sim
cerely hope it will be taken advan'
tage of at once.

Inter States War.

for more men and more munitions
The Marylanders are very clever
people but they can't stand the tenn
ptation to steal our oysters, hence
war.
Governor O'Ferrall, with his gal
liant feet, has captured two Mary
land piratical vessels caught in the
act of stealing oysters. The brave
captains Of these captured vessels
fought and run away, SO they may
be in condition to fight some other
day. But Governor O'Ferrall finds
his feet insufficient to prosecute
this war as it ought to be prcseeu-
ted, and he calls on the General As
sembiy for more help. He wants
two swift vessels to cost say about
$4,000, to be armed to the teeth, or
rather to the waters edge with
guns that hut and no foolishness.
