Washington, Feb. 12.-The possible

involving the application of cathode
rays in determining the existence Of Sc

tested thoroughly at the Carnegie
works, where large amount of naval

demonstrate whether or not the new

If this can be done the importance of

WHAT COTroN MANUfACrURERs
SAY.

The Manufacturers Record In its last
issue published letters from twenty cot
ton manufacturers in answer to a re-
quest for their views on the outlook in
| the textile industry, and here is the
result: Seven say that the gold stand
ard Is responsible for the present de-
| preston of business: one favors the gold
standard and Mckinley, and Twelve
give almost as many reasons, but only
one deprecates the movement for free
silver.
The following Is one of the answers
received:
Replying to your invitation for an
expression of my views on the business
outlook In cotton manufacturing, | de-
sire briefly to say that my idea of what
Is needed to bring greater prosperity TO
| the textile industry Is such an adjust
ment of the financial system as will
cause better distribution Of money
and increased prices for the products OF
| the soil, giving to the producer greater
purchasing power. The abolition of the
gold standard. with the free and unlim-
tied coinage of gold and silver at 16 to
| j. Will bring about this condition. De-
preston in the cotton milling industry
! cannot be laid at the door of excessive
competition or production when
| there are 10000, 900 people In this coun-
try. many of whom are half-naked and
without the means to supply their
wants. 1t Is not. therefore, the tariff,
but the money question that should re-
ceive the attention of cotton manufac-
turers."
The above is from DR.. Henry W. Lilly,
| president of the Beaver Creek and Bluff
Mills. of North Carolina. DR.. Lilly be-
lleves that with the currency question
properly adjusted the solution OF all
our trouble will be reached

MUST CONE TO THE RACK.

The Pittsburg Times has lost patience
with those Democrats who say that
they don't want TO support the Chicago
ticket, yet hesitate TO declare for Nc
kinley. and by way OF emphasizing its
disgust, says: They must come up to
the rack, fodder or no fodder, ana cast
their votes for Mckinley"
This Is doubtless pleasant reading for
the aforesaid Denlocrats. and the ques-
ton is just how they are going to take
it. The Times makes no disguise of Its
feelings, and insists that McKinleyism
must be revived in tariff laws, as an
equal import with the gold standard.
and tina; Democrats who don't want
free silver must come to Mckinley and
take the Mckinley tariff along with
the gold standard.
In other words they have got to swal-
low Mckinley-the trust tariff and all.
Democrats who talk of not voting the
chicago ticket should think of this 1t
would be strange thing TO see such
people following the line laid down by
the Pittsburg Times.

a NEW MARKET FOR soUTI7ER,
GOODS.

According to President Hickman, of the
Graniteville Manufacturing Company. of
Augusta Ga, that concern Is finding a
good market in China for its products.
During the past three months the Gran
iteVilie Company has shipped something
like 10000 bales OF cotton goods to 1.-The
children Of the land OF the sum-" and the
outlook Is that q fine trade will be done in
the future with that people. President
Hickman says:
The manufacturers South are increas-
ing their export business rapidly, because
they are making good goods, such rs are
wanted for export. 1t Is a fact that I
have sold goods for China for better
prices than ! can get from the home
markets. trust that in the near future
we VIII have very large trade with
South America. When we get the Mica
ragua canal and American ships floa ting
the American flag, with banking faclli-
ties. without going to London, then we
VIII possess the land and 1.-THE South will
blossom as the rose"
There can be no question about the
benefits to accure to the South from the
lconstructlon OF the Nicaragua canal.
when large trade will be done with
South America. The opening up of trade
with China Is q new and somewhat I'M
looked for achievement on the part of
Southern manufacturers, yet there Is no
reason why trade for Southern goods
should not be successfully conducted with
that country.

WHY SHOULD THEY BE PAID IN

In his speech at Canton a few days
ago to visiting delegation, Major Nc
Kinley said:
"Our currency to-day is good-all of II

party TO keep 1t and maintain it for

Now. If this be so, why does Major Nc
Kinley insist that his friends. the Brit

If 1t is all really good money why does
he make the point that gold instead of
coin be paid the Englishmen? Does
he mean to say that the silver dollar,
which he claims is only worth 53 cents.
is good enough for home people, but not
so for the foreign bondholders? The
fact is there is too much talk about
the silver dollar being worth only 90
cents, and It is all nonsense.
