PROMISES TO THE SOUTH
MONEY IS TO RAIN ON HER HEAD

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 5.-The Manufac- turers' Record of this week publishes spe- cial telegrams from 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, says: ."The settlement of the presiden- tial question will undoubtedly conduce to improve business, but it will be better still if the congress and MT. Cleveland will give us as favorable banking system in place of the present system, the former advantages of which are almost all gone. The repeal of the tax on state banks with proper safeguards, would probably lead to quickest and best resu1ts.''
 Hon. N L. Trenholm. of New York: 'T believe the south will share in the general prosperity, sure to follow the settlement of disturbing issues."
 Francis D. Carley, president of the monetary trust New York When we remember the natural repugnance of the southern people to negro domination the south has accomplished a moral victory unsurpassed in the history of mankind, and the result will be growing confidence towards that section which will reduce rates of interest on large outside invest ment and give that locality prosperity even relatively larger than other portions of the United States.'
 E. A. Sr7vthe, Pelzer, s. C., one of the largest cot. ln mill operators in the south: Honest money and protection to Ameri- can labor and American industries will. bring prosperity to our country and in this prosperity our own states will more than equally share.'
 CK Oliver of Columbia, s. G. who represents about $2,000,000 of New Eng land money invested in cotton mills and water powers at Columbia: With sound money now assured there will be large and increasing 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 Me- Kinley is bright with promise for the future of southern industrial develop ment. It means millions for the busi- ness and manufacturing interests of-ev- cry southern state"
 agent, Southern Railroad company: "The prospects are exceedingly bright for ex- tensive mineral, agricultural and indus trial developments in the states reached by this railway. Correspondents in the east, north, Canada and all parts of Flu rope will undoubtedly continue their ne- gotiations for Investments and properties for improvement"
 MT. Arthur H. Lowe, President of the New England Cotton Manufacturers as- sociation, representing $30,000,000 capital invested in cotton manufacturing in New England: "The result of Tuesdays elec- tion is an emphatic of the great ma ajori- ty of the American people that the fun damental principles of business and gov ernment shall be maintained in this coun- fru he prfpp pinIag inUplUpd in thic great victory shall have been put into administration the whole country will in my judgment, enter upon an era of great prosperity. The noble part taken by the business men of the south for the right in this contest will be of inestimable val ue toward the development and prosperi- ty of that section. The cotton producing and manufacturing industry producing one of the great staple necessities of the people, will be among the frs to be bene- fitted.
 MT. Stuyvesant Fish, President of the Illinois Central: "The campaign is over and the victory won by an overwhelming majority, and best of all through the votes of several of the southern states. Compared with other parts of the union the south is as yet an unploughed field. Sure as we now are of an honest dollar in payment for honorable labor mental or manuel, we can safely put new vigor and new capital into the work of cement ing closer industrial relations with, and of developing the unlimited natural re- sources 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 a position to es- tablish a sound financial system and if the present congress will devote itself to its plain duty by authorizing the cancel lation of the greenbacks as they are re- deemed make modification of the tariff sufficient to raise revenues, proper eceno- my in the appropriations, the country < will enter upon a career of unexampled progress and prosperity in which the southern states will not only share, but lead"
