MANUFACTURING THE IDEA-PRoDUcTIoN
 RATHER THAN CONSUMPTION.
 s'The business outlook for Birmingham, as well as for all other sections ofthe coun- try, is good,'' said MT. M. Well, senior member of the clothing firm of M. Well & Bro. to an AGE HERALD man yesterday. MT. Veil is a well-informed business man, |, keeps thoroughly posted on political mat ters which affect finances, and has always proven himself to be good prophet.
 stSome branches of business in this city, however,'' said MT. Veil, 'sare oyerdone. For instance 4 take the clothing business. We have been h this business for seven teen years, and have succeeded. There are five large retail clothing houses here as strong as any in the United States. Our own house has always done a good busi- ness, and we are perfectly satisfied with our share of the public patronage, but we have decided to close out this department. You know we have recently added mer- chant tailoring and general clothing manu- featuring to our business. This is growing rapidly. Our present pay roll is about S250 per week. We intend doubling 1t. We are greatly encouraged, and our success is certain. Birmingham is man0factur- ing city. We intend to be strictly in the swim; employ and feed people, bring money to this city instead of send II away.'
 MT. Veil spoke earnestly, and it is grate- lying to hear him talk. The rsader IS re- lerred to the regular advertisement this morning of M. Well & Bro.

lion dollar silver mine which IS just paying expenses, Forty seven cent silver just pays my men. With 100-cent silver i'll make a million dollars a year. Free coin- the revenues of every silver miner in this country and in all other countries, too.
 'tWould you increase your mine or open other mines7'' asked.
 "Oh, no. Mining is uncertain. I've got surer way than that. I'd rush right down to Mexico and buy train load of their Accent dollars and take them to our mint and get train load of our 100-cent dollars. I would send agents to South America and get ship load of their Accent and get more. Why, do you know he said ,ssthat ], 200, ,000. .O00 people have got and are using deposed 47-cent silver? It's only 300, ,000, ,000 of civilized people who have put gold under their coined dollars.'
 "But how long would our government of 75, ,000, 900 people stand this?' asked.
 "Why, our government would be bank rupt in week. Wewould be the laughing stock of Europe. The scheme is wild enough to set Jules Verne crazy. Why, all the 300, ,000, 900 civilized people couldn't 't put gold under the worlds silver. Civil ized nations like the United States, Eng land, France and Germany have put gold under their own coined silver, and no man has lost a cent by it yet. India, China, Japan, South America, Mexico and all the 1,2C0, ,000, ,0O0 half- civilized nations have lost just half their wealth. A citizen of India, China or Asia who was worth 5000 twenty years ago is worth just s447 today. If we succeeded in remonetizing the silver of the world we would double their wealth, but the attempt would bankrupt our own coun. try. Seventy. five million Americans can t control the whole world. 'The tail can't wag the dog.'
 "Then what can we do with silver?o l asked.
 "Why, just what we've been doing with it for thirty years. We can buy it at it's market price, which is thirty-two ounces of silver for one ounce of gold, and coin it and make fiat dollar 16 to 1. But we can only buy just what we want to use. This is what England, Germany, France and all the Latin states are doing, and this is all they ever will do. Another monetary con- vention like the Brussels convention will end with the same conclusion. Yes, I'd like free coinage, but I've got sense enough to know that we can never have it. ''
 Now, MT. Editor, this idea of doubling the price of the worlds silver is all hnm- bug. Why not double the price of cotton and coal and corn. The products of the farmer are just as sacred as the products of the miner. Yours truly,
 ELI PERKINS.

 Lately, on my trip across the continent, have called on the bankers in Denver, Leadville, Boise City, Helena and Butte, the five silver cities. have not found single treasurer or president of bank who has not been for the gold standard.
 Who do find for free coinage?
 1 find all the silver miners, few old greenbackers, good many populists, some sour democrats and now and then weak kneed republican are for free coinage. They are for anything free. They would be for free soap, or apples, or coal, but free money strikes them in the softest place. They don't know what free coinage is. They think it means lots of cheap money, and that a lot of cheap money will put up cotton, wheat and pork and make money flush.
 When 1 asked the biggest silver miner In Montana what he meant by free coinage he said:
 "Why I mean that if we can get free coin- age the price of our silver will be doubled. piece of silver now as big as an American or Mexican dollar is worth commercially just AZ cents. With free coinage we can take the AZ cents' worth of silver to our hints and get dollar with gold under it, worth 1C0 cents."

two years there is something like general feeling among consumers of iron that any further decline in prices Is improba ble. This is great point gained, for it means that the extreme hand to mouth policy that has so long prevailed may be followed by moro liberal purchases. It is certain that many foundries have run their stocks so low that little delay of supplies in transit causes inconvenience and perhaps stop page.
 Taking view of the field at large, there are no particularly striking features in manufacturing. There is an in crease in the melting of iron, and yet the tonnage IS still very far below normal proportions. No one class of work seems to be favored be- yond others. The agricultural implement men feel some stimulus from the encourage ing pros poets of crops. Makers of engines and machinery are doing better business, the special activity being more in the line of building of water plants, electric rail- ways, cotton mills and saw mills. Car building still lags in very disappointing way, but is not stagnant as 1t was year ago.
 Among the furnaces there is a lively an- ticipation of better things to come, but a hesitation to talk higher prices until the foundation is 50 strong that there is no question of ite giving away later. A few northern furnaces have stiffened up in their views materially in consequence of sharp increase in cost of prod duction, but the bus mess current is taken by those who are still willing to accept low prices. In southern irons the special concessions that were fre- quent until a short time ago are no longer made, and regular prices are insisted upon no matter how desirable the trade.
 Money continues in active demand, and rates continue to harden. This is counted as the surest evidence that the general bus mess of the country is slowly improving.
