Baltimore, Md, Nov 5.-The Manufac-
turer's Record of this week publishes
special kilograms from a large number of
leading, financial and business people in
the north and south, as to the prospects
for business advancement in the south
now that the election is over.
D. A Tompkins of Charlotte n. c.,
president of several cotton mills, and
manufacturer Of cotton mill machinery,
wired 1.-THE settlement of the presiden
tial question will undoubtedly conduce to
improve business, but it will be better
still if the present congress and Mr..
Cleveland viii give us a safe and flexible
banking system in place of the present
system, the former advantages of which
are almost gone. The repeal of the tax
on state banks, with proper Safeguards,
would probably lead to the quickest and
best results"
Hon. w. L. Trenholm of New York: II
believe the south will share in the general
prosperity sure to follow the settlement
of disturbing issues"
Francis d. Carley, president of the Mon
etary Trust, New York: ''Wheh
we remember the natural re-
! pugnance of the southern peo-
pie to negro domination, the south has
! accomplished a moral victory unsurpassed
| in the history of mankind, and the result
| win be growing confidence towards that
section which will reduce rates of interest
| on large outside investments, and give
that locality prosperity even relatively
larger than other portions of the United
| States"
E. A. Smythe, Pelzer, S. c., president
! of the largest cotton mill in the south:
| Honest money and protection for Amer
lean labor and American industries will
| bring prosperity to our country, and IN
| this prosperity our southern states will
more than equally share"
c. K. oliver. Columbia, S c., who rep
resents about S20OO00O of New England
money invested in cotton mill and water
| powers at Columbia: with sound money
| now assured there will be large and in
| creasing business with great prosperity
throughout the south and country at
large"
H. S. Chadwick cotton manufacturer
and agent for New England cotton mill
machinery people: "The election of Nc
KinIey is bright with promise for the flu
ture of the southern indus trial develop
ment 1t means millions for the business
and manufacturing interest OF every south
ern state"
NJ. V. Richards, land and immigration
agent, Southern Railway Company: THE
prospects are exceedingly bright for ex-
tensive mineral agricultural and industrial
development in the states reached by the
Southern railway Thousands of CORE
spondents in the east, north, Canada and
all parts of Europe viii undoubtedly con-
tnue their negotiations for investment
and property for Improvement"
Arthur Bigelow, president Of the New
England Cotton Manufacturers Associa-
ton, representing $500, 100000 capital invest
ed in cotton manufactured in New Eng
land: 1.-The result of Tuesdays election is
am emphatic declaration of a great ma
jority of the people that the fundamental
principles of business and government
shall be maintained in this country. When
the principles involved in this great victory
shall have been put into administration
the whole country will, in my judgment,
enter upon an era of great prosperity. Inc
noble part taken by the business men Of
the south for the right in this contest will
be of inestimable value toward the devel-
opment and prosperity of that section. The
| cotton producing and manufacturing in
dustry. producing one of the great staple
| necessities of the people, will be among
| the first to be benefited"
Stuyvesant Fish, president of the Hi
nois Central railroad says: The cam
| paign is over, and the victory won by an
Overwhelming majority and best of all
through the votes of several Of the south
| ern states Compared with other parts
| of the union the south is as yet an UNI
| plowed field. Sure as we now are of an
honest dollar in payment for honestaabor,
mental or manual we can safely put new
yigor and new capital into the work of
| cenenting closer industrial relations with,
and Of developing the unlimited natural
resources of that favored section of our
common country"
Hon. Abram s. Hewitt says: The re-
suit inspires and restores confidence,
| which is the basis of enterprise and pros
| perity. We are now in position to
| establish a sound financial system, and If
| the present congress will devote itself to
| its plain duty by authorizing the cancella-
| tlon of the greenbacks as they are re-
| deemed. make a modification of the tariff
sufficient to raise revenue enough to
cover the current expenses of the govern
| ment. and shall exercise proper economy
| in the appropriations the country will en-
ter upon a career Of unexampled progress
and prosperity, in which the southern
| states will not only share, but lead"
