socretarv Carlisle does 10 more IMAM
H.. ovnression TO the best thought OF inc
country when he says in his report 'h''
stability and order in our finances re-
ouire that the demand notes o. the Ohi''u
states shall be taken in ana cohceiieu'
There are about S5OO,OOOOOO of these ana
tho interest on bonds necessary 10 tame
,,,o,, &, aud destroy them would be some
go ooo 600 q year. That Is mere Dasa-
tele TO the country compared WIN inc
loss and destruction which these notes
cause by sending every fellow who wants
10 ship goods abroad to the United States
Treasury for IT, thus keeping the gold
reserve see-sawing up and down ana START
ing financial panics as there appears to
he danger that the government may be
unable to pay gold when ii Is demanded.
And vet the Banking and Currency Com
mittee of the House of Representatives,
declare that they have no hope that
bill to issue low rate bond with which
TO take these notes up can be passed
through Congress
The chief opponents to such an is
sue of bonds are to be found amongst the
Representative from the South. The
Populist idea that money flows out of the
government has taken such a deep root
in the South that many OF the Southern
people refuse to see the government note
retired at all Many others refuse TO
see the Understanding debt of the gov
eminent increased, and so with the two
classes opposing the move. il seems hope
less TO get the Southern Representatives
TO agree TO an issue of bonds to take up
these notes. But, an amended banking
law. which allowed the people to issue
all the bank notes they needed without
deposit of government bonds would give
them all the paper money they had any
use for and would give them that sort of
paper money which a healthy state Of
business requires. while the trifling bur
dens that the interest upon these bonds
would impose upon the people would not
be sufficient to be worth a moments con-
sideration. Would il not be worth while
Tor the southern Representatives in Con-
gress TO look around and sec if they
could not get bill that looked towards
free banking in exchange for voting for
Dill to take up the governments notes
with d low rate Of interest bond?

A PILOT WITHOUTACO COMPASS

every citizen that the city should pros
per. Every dollar spent al home IL "a
dollar invested al home. and every dol
lar spent abroad is a dollar invested
aDroad.-Richmond Times.
We say ditto as to Norfolk and Der
merchants.
But We beg to call attention to the
Tact that The Times is A frce-trade
paper. whose motto Is: Buy where Won
can buy cheapest. and sell where YOU
can sell dearest"
We see similar expressions in FREQ
trade or anti protection journals almost
daily. Some say: "Patronize homo in
dustry and enterprise. Others even 20
so far as to urge that now manufacto-
ries be exempted from all taxes Tor a
period OF years.
1t does not seem 20 occur to The
Times that every dollar spent for ar
ticles produced abroad IS a dollar IN
vested abroad. and that home products
are the foundation OF all wealth aad
prosperity.
Nor does ~ seem 20 occur TO any OF
these phrase mongers that. n they
truly mean what they say. they are
fully committing themselves TO the
very spirit ard principle Of pro,ec-
ton. Norfolk Pilot.
The Pilot has again lost his reckoning.

silence with "A croak. lie has "hDos'''e'

plaint is that the Republicans nave III
sisted on putting Republicans In ONCE
and not Democrats. During the late cam
naien. he SAYS. the Republicans came 10
Democrats and invited them to be pa
trlotic and rally TO the support OF sound
money. That after the election. MAJOR NC
Kiulcv.in an Interview said that II was not
a Republican victory. but that the country
owed "a debt OF gratitude TO the sound
Money Democrats who had lent their aid.
But in spite Of all this. Mr. Hill goes on
as soon as the Republicans OF New lorK
had an opportunity OF showing their ap-
probation OF Democratic aid they useu
that opportunity TO promote fepup-
lean. Dstrict-Attorney Fellows be says

death was caused by "a fatal disease con-
tracted by him in his stumping tour IN be-
n, of sound money. But when he q ed,
instead of appointing sound-"ohey
nor,ocraf TO succeed him. his body was
hardly cold before the appointment was
eivcl, TO a Republican. And what ttoIt les
NJ nm most Is that the Democrats OF
New York tamcly submit to this SORT Oh
thing without raising their voice IN lro-
test.
We cannot agree that Mr.. Hill sIetks
Cor the great body OF Sound-Money Dom
ocrats in this matter. Mr.. Hill Is essen
tally a spokesman. and politics to HIM ana
his kind means office. But that Is not
the sentiment of those Democrats WHO
refused 10 support free silver In their
convention they boosted OF the fact thdt
M, one OF the delegates expected Office.
They went into this fight Tor
the principles OF Democracy and
not for spells from Republicans
or ANYBODY else. and Mr.. Hin is the first
man 10 raise the question of reward.
And why Mr.. Hill of all others? What
did he do during the campaign in the in
terest of sound money? And what ola
he do I'm the interest Of free silver? II
seems to US that neither side is Under
obligations TO him. for Mr.. Hill did no
Ting for either side. He simply sH'Ned'
And now that the battle has been fought
he is the first man TO raise the cry OF
spolls for those who did fight

words. and We might have returned David

That's it. Mr. Hill has done nothing

the company.
The repcrt IN detail of the operations
Of the company fer October show that
the gross profits for that month were
S3l,276.5l.
This IS very gratifying statement
rot only. TO the friends of this company,
but also to all who are interested in the
orosperity of the South. 1t is TO be noted
that these profits were made when iron
was at a price which permitted large ship
ments to England, upon which the net
returns Of the company equalled or even
exceeded the profits IN sales made at
home. The experience obtained from the
hard times Of the recent past has taught
lessons Of economy IN manufacture,
which have enabled the Americans to get
hold in foreign markets never before
obtained and which Will never be given
up. Nothing more striking in this respect
has occurred than the large shipments
OF Alabama pig iron 10 England. Birming-
ham promises TO be the centre Of the
great foundry iron producing region Of
the world.
