Pennsylvania developed her manufac-
turing interest and created a home de-
mand for her coal. This resulted in an
advance of the farm lands in that State
to $50 an acre. The average price. of
Alabama's farm lands is SO an acre. We
must develop our manufacturing adj
vantages. 1t is to the especial interest
of the planters of the cotton belt that
manufactures be established and thus
enhance the value of their lands. The
planters should establish cooperative,
cotton mills. They can get their coal
cheap from this district, also their ma
chinery, tools. etc. The combination of
the interests of the mineral district and
agricultural district would be a most
happy one.

No amount of metallic treasure could
have been adequate to the wants of
such an empire during such a contest;
if the whole gold and silver of the
world had been brought together, it
would have proved unequal to the
combined necessities of the govern
ment and the people. The vast and
imperiOus demand for the precious
metals, and especially gold, for the use
and maintenance of the immense
armies contending on the continent, of
necessity and frequently drained away
nearly the whole precious metals from
the country at the very time when they
were most required for the support of
domestic credit, or the cost of war
like establishments. When such a
drain for specie set in from foreign
ports, certain ruin must have ensued,
if the empire had possessed no re.
sources within itself to supply the
place of the precious metals which
were taken away. But such resources
did exist and were managed with a
combined liberality and caution, which
gave the country the whole benefits of

have said that want of money was
one principal reason for the invasion
OF Russia by Napoleon. All the coun-
tries subject to the French empire were
exhausted of their specie, and the en-
peror spurned the use of paper. There
must be found, then, new pastures for
military forage and exactions, and new
treasures to be robbed.
There were, at that time, but two
countries in Europe worth robbing-
England and Russia. The former was
safe in her citadel amid the waves.
Russia was open for invasion; and be-
yond Russia to the east and south lay
ali Asia with great wealth and numer-
GUS treasures of specie. The men and
money of Russia were to enable the
''hOnest-money" cOnquerer to proceed
with his lOng-cherished hopes of con-
Quering Asia. That enterprise had
been cut short years before by his fail
ure at the seige of Acre.
Napoleon had two principal reasons
for invading Russia; both financial. ~
TO recuperste his own declining finan-
Ces, and ~ TO break down the English
finances by closing the ports of Russia
against English goods, as he had al
ready closed most Of the ports of the
rest Of Europe.
Count Philip de Legur, in his "Expe-
ditlon to Russia" gives the principal
reason for the invasion of Russia in
Napoleon's own words. In conVersa-
tion with his officers, Count Molten,
trying to dissuade the emperor from
invading Russia, remarked to him that
his finances required peace. Napoleon
replied;
"On the contrary, they are embar.
Eassed and require war"
The duke of Gaeta also opposed the
invasion on financial grounds. The
emperor listened to him attentively to
the end, then, with smile, said:
$50 you think l shall not be able to
find anyone to pay the expenses of
the WARP" Expedition to Russia, vol.
l., PIP. 52.3.)
On the way to Moscow, Napoleon
was advised to stop and winter at
FuitepHk. He objected on account of
having to pay his own expenses,
''while at Moscow" said he, "there
win be peace, abundance, a reimburse
ment Of the expenses of the war, and
imperlshable glory" Expedition to
Russia, vol. l., p. l72.)
His generals long and earnestly ar
gued with Napoleon against going to
Moscow. They said every year the
hardships of war increase, fresh con-
quests compelling them to 90 farther in
quest Of fresh enemies. Europe would
soon be insufficient; he would want
Asia also. Expedition to Russia,
vol. l., p. 2lS.)
AT sight Of Moscow, NspoleOn's ex-
ultation knew no bounds. Count
Philip de Legur, an eye witness at the
time, says:
"His eyes fixed on this capital, al
ready expressed nothing but imps-
tience. In it he beheld in imagination
the whole Russian empire. Its walls
inclosed all his hopes, peace, the ex.
psnses of the war, immortal glory, His
eager looks, therefore, intently watched

support. When surrounded by the
wreck Of other states, when surviving
alone the fall of so many cOnfeder
acies, it was in their inexhaustible re-
sources that England found the means
of resolutely maintaining the contest
and waiting calmly, in her citadel
amid the waves, the return of right
spirit in the surrounding nations.
Swain would have been the proWess
of her seamen, vain the Valor of her
soldiers, if her national finances had
given way under the strain; even the
conquerOrs of Trafalgar and Alexan-
dria must have succumbed in the con-
test they so heroicsllY maintained if
they had not found In the resources of
government the means of permanently
continuing it. Vain would have been
the reaction produced by suffering
against the French revolution, vain
the charnel-house Of Spain and the
SHOWS of Russia, if Britain had not
been in situation to take advantage
of the crisis; if she had been unable to
aliment the war in the peninsula when
its native powers were prOstrated in
the dust, the sword of Wellington
would have been drawn in vain, and
the energies of awakened Europe must
have been lost in fruitless efforts if the
wealth of England had not at last ar
rsyed them, in dense and disciplined
bstallions, on the banks of the Rhine.
"HoW, then, did it happen that this
inConsiderable island, 80 small a part
of the Roman empire, was enabled to
expend wealth greater than ever had
been smassed by the ancient mistress
of the world; to maintain a contest of
unexsmpled magnitude for twenty
years; to uphold a fleet which con-
quered the united nsVies of Europe,
and an army which carried victory
into every corner of the globe; to &C.
quire q colonial empire that encircled
the earth, and subdue the vast CONT
nent of HindOstan, at the very time
that it struggled in Spain with the
land forces Of Napoleon, and equipped
all the armies Of the north, on the Elbe
and the Rhine, for the liberation of
Germany
"The solution of the phenomenon,
unexampled in the history of the
world, is without doubt to be in part
found in the perseVering industry of
the British people, and the extent
of the commerce which they main
tanned in every quarter of the
globe. But the resources thus
afforded would have been made
quate to so vast an expenditure, and
must have been exhausted early in the
struggle, if they had not been organ
lied and sustained by an admirable
system Of finance, which seemed to
rise superior to every difficulty with
which it had to contend. 1t is there
that the true secret of the prodigy is to
be found; it is there that the noblest
monument to Mr.. Pitts wisdom has
been erected" (Alison's "History of
Europe" vol. VII, p. ~
Near the close of his history, Mr..
Alison again states the case of the
British paper money as follows:
"In vain, however, would have been
the numerous advantages, physical
and political, which great Great Brit

was not so in Russia. Both the gov.
ernment and the people were against
him. He had lost more than two.
thirds of the grand army in reaching
Moscow. And, as he entered its gates
in triumph, he was, in fact, beaten
man, with no chance of ever entering
France again, except by flight. He
was never to enter Paris again, except
as fugitive.
However, this "honest- money" man
thinks of money and has his consola-
tion. Though Moscow yields him
nothing but burnt rains, want and
danger, he says:
"Millions have, no doubt, slipped
through our hands; but how many
thousand millions is Russia losing?
Her commerce is ruined for a century
to come. The nation is thrown back
fifty years, which Of itself is an import
ant result. And when the first mo-
ment Of enthusiasm is past, this reaec-
tion will fill them with CONSERVATION. !"
The conclusion which he drew was,
"that so violent a shock would con-
Vulse the throne of Alexander, and
force that prince to sue for peace"
Expedition to Russia, vol. H., PIP. 40
But Napoleon waited In vain for the
emperor of Russia to treat with him.
The "honest-money" man who would
never use paper money had no more
treasures to rob, and his effort to get
into the Russian treasury had broken
his back.
He returned to France, however, full
of vinegar and vigor. He called him
self a "lion" that was still alive. He
conscripted the youth of France and
raised an army Of a million of men;
but he had no more easy victories. He
met one defeat after another, and to
pay expenses he levied taxes on every.
thing in France that was taxable; and
he seized and sold estates, somewhat
after the manner of the revolution, but
with less discrimination and Justice.
The tide had turned, however; the
finances of the "honest-m man
had utterly failed. France was in
Vaded, Paris was occupied by the
allies, and the whilom conqueror of
Europe and the would-be emperor of
Asia, became an exile in the island of
Elba; afterwards came Waterloo and
St. Helena.
Let US now contrast the financial
system of this "honest money" man
this brigand of Europe-with the pa
per system of England.
In 1897 coin failed in England to
meet the demands for prosecuting the
wars against the French empire. The
Bank of England paid out its last sill
yer six-pence, and paper money was
the only resource. 1t was adopted;
specie payment was abandoned, and
there then commenced a contest of
eighteen years of British paper against
the coin of Europe in the hands of Ma.
poleon.
After the fall and banishment of Ma
poleon, when paper money had COM
pleted its triumph over metal, Sir
