sncBETARY MNNNrNG's WAY.

Senator Perkins story of how the late Daniel Manning, while secretary of the treasury, stopped Wall street raid on the gold reserve is most interesting read ing at this time. It is told as follows by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
 When the gold grabbers of "the street. attempted to draw out the government s gold with the "endless chain" for the purpose of speculating and squeezing the government on bonds, Secretary Manning did not get down on his knees to them. or dicker with them, or pay them mil lions to refill the treasury with gold for a fresh onslaught MT. Manning merely told them that if they continued to work the "endless chain" he would switch it from the pile of gold to the pile Of Sill yer. He said he would give them silver, as he had a right to do.
 When the gold-grabbers protested that this would be a violation of the implied obligation to pay in gold. MT. Manning coolly replied that the law said "coin,' and while he would pay all legitimate demands for gold he would exercise his prerogatve to stop hostile raid.
 MT Manning did nothing more than any sensible business man would do un- der similar circumstances. Although a gold standard man, he was neither so much of a fool or so much of tool of Wall street as to throw aside so fair and legitimate a means of protecting the peo- ple's interests.
 ifsMr. Clevelands present secretary Of the treasury had followed the example of his first secretary of the treasury not a dollar of debt would have been sad dled on the people, and gold corner to soueeze the government would be an inn possibility. But Mr. Manning had a mind of his own, and the courage of his convictions.

ton to the expenses of the state govern- ment in all it's departments, during the current biennial term. The current ex4 penses of the state government, exclu+ sive of the cost of the two sessions of the
 legislature, but including schools and colleges and interest on the bonded in-
 debtedness, cannot be estimated at less than about $1, 550, ,000 for each year. To meet this demand it will devolve upon the general assembly to provide for about
 $l,9S5,OOO for the present year, and about $1,55O,0O0 for the year 1897. This revenue
 must be raised by g. direct tax on the
 real and personal property of the state, and from the tax imposed on privileges and on polls. The value of the real and personal property of the state may be estimated at not more than $17S000, 900, and estimating approximately the amount derived from privileges and polls to be $500,O00, the ad valorem rate to be levied upon the real and personal proper ty is easily ascertained.
 The legislature will have to elect a senator to succeed General George, who thus far has declined to be a candidate. As to this election the Washington Post which has the ear of the Mississippi rep resentatives in congress, says.
 "As the election of a successor to Sen ator George of Mississippi takes place during the present session of the Mis- slsSippi legislature, which convened on Monday, the canvass has waxed warmer and warmer every day since the publica- ton of letter from that senator last spring announcing that he would not be a candidate for reelection. Balloting for his successor will begin next Tuesday, with the following pronounced candi- dates in the race: Col. H. D. Money, Private John Allen, Ex-Gov. Robert Lowery, Gen. Charles E. Hooker and Gov. John M. Stone. Colonel Money has the greatest number of counties instruct ed for him, but as some of his counties
 have small number of votes it does not
 necessarily follow that he will lead on
 the first ballot.
 With the exception of Governor Stone,
 who will probably have only small fol-
 lowing 0n consequence of his we'll
 known opposition to free Silver), the re-
 mainder of the candidates will be nearly
 equal when the balloting begins; taking
 rank, most likely, in the order named.
 Great interest has been added to this
 pentagonal fight by recent developments.
 which clearly indicate that Governor
 elect McLaurin will be very much in evil
 dence, sooner or later as the balloting
 proceeds McLaurin is just now the po-
 litical idol of the masses of his state and
 but for an unfortunate misunderstand-
 ing as to Senator Georges po<!non rel
 alive to his candidacy for re- &eion it
 is apparent that McLaurin would have
 been in the senatorial race from start to
 finish. This is plainly inferential from
 an interview with him published in an
 influential Mississippi newspaper.
 "Just now things are In mighty mud
 dle' in tho Mississippi legislature, and it
 looks as if there would be a repetition of
 the stubborn contest which occupied that
 body when Ex-Senator McLaurin was
 chosen to fill the then unexpired term,
 made vacant by General WalthalPs res
 ignation."

The legislature of Mississippi is now in
 session. Governor Stone has sent in his message. The financial condition of that state is similar to that of other southern states, in which the assessments dimin-
 ished through the stringency of the times. While there is deficit the state is abundantly able to make it good and to provide adequate taxation to prevent A recurrence of the trouble. The receipts from all sources for the year ending September 30, 1894. amounted to $1.210,- 651 .72. and the disbursements for the same period were 1,299. .6O5.52 being sSS,- 953 so in excess of receipts. The receipts for the year ending September 30, 1895, were S1,277, ,14269, and disbursements for that year were s1.S69. 954.19, or $92,S11.5O in excess of receipts. Excess of disburse- ments over receipts for the biennial term ending September 30, 1895, Is therefore s1s1, ,765. 30. When we add to this amount s200, ,000 in round numbers, now due and payable, on various accounts, we find an indebtedness of $39O,000 in round num- bers that must be provided for. in addi-

IRON TRADE REVIEW.

Cleveland, O., Jan 9.-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 A reduction of the make of pig iron, everywhere conceded to be necessary to an improvement in prices, has already been in progress for the past ten days. Eight furnaces in the Shenango valley have either blown out or banked, one in the Mahoning valley one at Pittsburg, two furnaces of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company and one of the Sloss Iron and Steel company. The weekly output of iron is now fully 15,0OO tons less than the rate in the last week in December and furnaces to be put idle
Birmingham state herald., 1896-01-10

in the coming week will work further reduction. Labor troubles in some, $2 coke in other cases, and still others, the unwillingness to pile iron and add to the already heavy accumulation of met al account for the restrictive movement, which will help to restore an equilibrium between furnace output and that of mills for foundry and steel works. The past week, so far as prices and sales go has not differed from its predecessors. In pig iron there has been further reduction by southern companies and the minimum agreed on by the leading interests is $9 in Birmingham for No foundry and No. 1 soft $S.75 for No. 2 foundry and No. soft, $S.50 for No. and sS for gray forge

At the present time the burdens of this country in the shape of debts, national. state, municipal and corporate, are great CT than ever before in its history, both as respects it's earning power and the in- cidence of it's taxation. Take, for in- stance, the national debt. In 1866 this debt was in round numbers, $2,S25,0O0,- 900. At that time the value of nine lead- ing agricultural staples was so high that the circumstance immensely reduced the burden of the debt, great as it was. At the close of 1895 the gold value of the debt was $1 237. 300 000: and yet, because of the great decline in the value of our agricultural staples, the value. of the present debt is worth more to its holders than it was worth to them at its maxi mum over thirty years ago.

Current events make it quite probable that the first quarter of 1896 will see the creation of two new and important re- publics-the republic of Cuba and the republic of South Africa. If these two democratic states are set up they will make by far the most important addi- tions to the list of the worlds popular governments since Brazil overthrew Dom Pedro, and in that possibility there is a business chance which the United States should not be slow to avail itself of.
