THE supposed ar guments of these
goldbug folks are wearysome. Listen
at this from the Buena Vista Patriot:
"Some lenders of money are now, &C
cording to the Atlanta Constitution,
stipulating in the notes that it is to be
paid in gold. This IS the result of the
free silver craze. Men with money do
not like to loan it out and then take it
back in fifty cents dollars. They want
to get as much money back as they let
out, with the interest added" In the
sane issue of the Patriot Editor Christie
pher wept gobs of grief because delir-
quen:s were not filling his pockets with
these fifty cents dollars. He would re,
ceieve them just as quickly as he would
gold dollars, and praise the Lord for the
opportunity.

LESS p0J TIcS-10RE BUSINESS.

"Less of politics-more Of business"
is being universally adopted in the south,
saws the Manufacturers Record. Inc
people of this section have now turned
their attention to the utilization of the
blessings which nature has given them
with greater energy than ever before
They are determined that nothing shall
stand in the way of the fullest develop
ment of their country; that every energy
shall be spent to accomplish this purpose.
If the press and the people OF the
south will unite on this line-"iess or
politics and more of bushes" deter
mined that in extending to capital and
settlers an invitation to their country a
proper reception and wise and equitable
laws shall be guaranteed to them, the
south will draw many thousands OF
settlers and many millions of dollars.
The business men in the south, how
ever, in taking up this move and skiing
the cooperation of the local press, must
remember that a duty devolves upon
them also in giving to the southern press
their most liberal support and encour-
agement. Live, progressive papers
cannot be published except in live, pro
gressive towns where the value of news
papers is fully appreciated, and where
the necessity of liberal advertising IS
understood. If the business meu of the
south will give liberal encouragement
to their local papers they may count
upon the heartiest work in behalf of the
south on the part of the southern press.
