When Gresham was in command
at Natchez there were many violent
Southerners there. Gresham seemed
never to take the slightest offense at
their enthusiastic enmity to the old
flag and the Union. Once talking
with Grant he said: "Why, General,
I regard the enmity Of these people
as the most natural thing on earth.
We are all made by our geography,
moulded by our environment. If you
or had been born in the South, you
and I would both have been intense
Southern men. We represent the
sentiment Of our people and these
Southern folks represent theirs. To
me it appears very natural. And, to
tell you the truth, General, when I
find Southern man who is not for
the South I experience all that in
stinctive distrust for him which I do
for a copperhead. I don't quite hate
him like I do a copperhead, because
he's siding with me, and I'm too weak
to hate people who are on my side,
no matter where they come FROM
But it's fact, General, when I find
q Southern man who's against the
South somehow disbelieve in him
and can't give him credit for being
either manly or honest" It may be
news, but it's no less true, that Grant
entirely Endorsed the Gresham view.-

Says Senator Morgan: More than
80 per cent of the Democratic Sena-
tors in that body when Senator Harris
and entered it, were in favor Of the
immediate and full restoration of the
law of 1887, signed by Jacknon.-
There was not then a "single gold
standard Democrat in that body.
There are some there now-only q
few, and they are wearing silver
masks TO disguise themselves-but
the great body Of Democrats in the
Senate, from that day to this, have
upheld the old Democratic creed of
1886, that "gold and silver is the
only safe and constitutional currency

Low TAXES AND A REVENUE TARIFF.

Low TAXES AND A REVENUE TARIFF
The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser
says: The record of the Mckinley
law shows no increase of wages in
any of the protected industries. They
were on the descending scale during
the continuance of that law. It has
been entirely different since the Will
son law became operative. Wages
are everywhere on the increase, and
signs of prosperity are visible on all
sides. Over one hundred and fifty
mills and factories have reported vol
untary increase in wages since the
middle of April. They employ nearly
200, 900 men. If the Democrats would
only resolve to let the silver question
alone until other countries move in
the matter, they could sweep every
thing before them next year on a
platform for low taxes and a revenue
tariff. The Republicans could not
uphold McKinleyism because under
that there was constant succession
of strikes, riots, distress and death.
The Wilson law, on the contrary, is
bringing smiles over the face of the
entire land.

The Carrolton Miss Conservative

The Carrolton (Miss.) Conservative
well says:
In view of the fact that there are
very few people in Mississippi, if any,
that understand thoroughly the fnan-
cial question, we deem ii unwise, as
well as unnecessary, for the advo-
Gates Of either side Of the question to
indulge in epithets Of abuse against
Democrats whose views do not accord
with their own upon this great ques-
tion. There should be more harmony
in our party ranks and less abuse,
and we would find our party in a
much better state Of organization.

The SOUTH ALL R1eHr.-The Men,

The SOUTH ALL R1aHT.-The Mem
phis Commercial-Appeal says: The
indications are that the Southern
farmers will have very prosperous
year if they have in any considerable
degree diversified their crops. The
present condition of the market JUS
titles this prediction. The spring in
the South has been somewhat back
ward, and there has not been quite
enough rain, but no one can doubt
that the Southern farm products will
be in great demand next fall. Each
year demonstrates the wisdom of
those agriculturists who take up
farms under the genial skies of Dixie
land. Here they are enabled to raise
everything marketable in abundance
without personal discomfort and with
ont the fear of crop-destroying
drouths, frosts or insects. The worse
that canpossibly befall him in his
ventures is overproduction, but, on
the other hand and by way of COM
pensation, he will never starve nor
have to complain against the soil or
the climate.
