The American Alliance.

The influences which bring together
the rival races of earth often nave their
origin in unforeseen and unprecedented
incidents.
The ether day when a distinguished
American citizen was invited upon the
floor of the Mexican congress, and was
permitted to address the members, II
presented a scene which VIII YET take
its place in history as one or the III
most importance.
In the enthusiasm which greeted the
presence Of Mr.. Bryan all the bitterness
which grew out of the conflicts between
General Scott and Santa Anna departed.
The bloody line, as the Rio Grande
might we'll be described, was for the
moment wiped out, and the two great
American peoples who inhabit the north
ern continent had come together to form
union fully as important as that which
ever existed between the allied nations
Of Europe.
That a man who was esteemed Wor-
thv Of the votes Of over 100000 Ameri-
can freemen, and who is, therefore,
more thoroughly representative Of the
nation than any accredited ambassador,
should have been invited by the defeat
ed nation to speak words of peace and
fraternity upon the floor Of its congress,
ie an omen of future alliance which has
IFS mainsprng from the peoples of the
two republics. who feel that their occu-
nancy Of q common continent is for the
common benefit and who are ready TO
stand together in declaring to the whole
world the inviOlability Of American ter
ritory and the inVincibility of American
Craftsmanship.

edly be the candidate of his party in
the next presidential election, and the
certainty that that party will be success
full, will place him in q position where

The Pension Scandal.

IF the people Of this country are ever
to escape the spOliariOn involved III the
increase of the pension list, there must
be an emphatic protest against 1t, and
that protest must come from the north.
The south is somewhat handicapped in
the matter. \ protest here, or from
southern leaders in Washington, would
he easy Is misiutoTprot. We feel that
the government should reward every
soldier who WOrthily served it, and who
is now physically or financially unahie
to take care Of himself so feeling the
southern Representatives in congress
have not only favored pensions TO SOL
die~s who really fought for the union,
but have refrained from protesting
against the raids which the pension
sharks have been making in the pubic
treasury during the past ten or fifteen
years.
There are already signs that public
sentiment at the north is beginning TO
make itself felt in opposition to the
wholesale spoliaticn that has been go
ING on under cover of the pension bills.
Senator Gallinger, Of New Hampshire.
who has been very active in the pension
business and who knows all it's 1eat-
uros. erOWled forth a protest the other
day:and General IT. T. Boynton, vet
eran of the war and a republican, has
written an article filled with unsparing
denunciati0n of the pension abuses.
We trust that these protests are fore
runners Of an impending storm of pub
lie Indignation which is to arise in the
north. Whether this storm comes as
the result of the fact that the republi-
cans are now responsible for the deficit,
or as a protest against further spoila-
ton. will make no difference, so long as
a reform is accomplished. Out of to-
tai of $500 600 600 for al government OK
neneos for the current fiscal year, the
rension bill is $141,o0oo00. And already
$50 000 600 is in sight for next year.
General BoyntOn says that if nothing
is done to revise the rolls, the bill wiz
he S17O 600 900 in three years. Curious
ia relate. Mr.. Dingley declares that the
increase in the pension bills is due 20
more raDfd administration Of the pres
ent laws" But General Boynton, who
is more familiar with the facts than Mr.
ningley. says that it is due to abuses.
He declares that "if the pension lists
could be printed, every community IN
the land would be dis@usred with its
revelqtions' He says That wealthy
men in large numbers would be found
upon it. and the names Of thousands
would be revealed whose disabilities
were only temporary.
The truth seems to he that We are on
the verge Of an exposure from the in
side that will show the pension SWIM
dies to re in the nature Of a great ma
tional scandal.

industry, and the Richmond enterprise
is the first venture OF it's kind which
the south has undertaken; but since the
soil and climate OF this section are thor
oughiy adapted to the growth OF sugar
heetS, there is no reason why other
southern states should not emulate Viz
giniaS example.
OF course there are several states il
this section engaged in the manufacture
of sugar from cane; but if the resources
of our soil admit of the manufacture Of
sugar from beets also, why restrict the
industry TO cane alone? so far as the
demand for sugar is concerned, it is well
known that this country is obliged to
make large imports of foreign sugar
yearly, and that millions of dollars go
out Of the country in this way which
might otherwise be diverted into the
south. AS it is now, the south supplies
only a small fractional part CT the coun"
try's demand for sugar; but with the re-
sources for making sugar which nature
has bestowed upon this section in such
lavish measure. there ought to be at
least double the activity which is now
going On in the sugar industry in the
south. Since Virginia has led off SO
nobly in the matter Of developing the
beet sugar industry, it is more than like
ly that other states in this section VIII
do likewise in the near future.

Industries Migrating Southward.

In commenting upon the migration or
industries The New York Comrercial-
Advertiser dwells at some length upon
the tendency to move southwark which
the iron and cotton Industries Of this
country have exhibited in recent years
With respect to the iron industry the
New York paper observed that its field
has shifted from the Atlantic coast to
the vicinity Of the great lakes end the
southern mountains, where coal ana
iron ore lie in close touch with each
other. While this observant paper does
not go so far 9s to say that the iron in
dustry in the south is still in its infancy,
and that infinite possibilities wait upon
it in the near future. such is ncverthe-
less the case; for with the development
of the marvellous resources OF thlS sec
ton, the iron industry is bound to in
crease in it's proportions. In regard to
the southwark migration of the cotton
industry. The New York Commercial
Advertiser says:
The enormous increase OF cotton mills in
the south from 667O00 spindes in 1850 to
900 now has been attracting attention
for the last decade, but 1t is only within
q year or two that its effect upon the New
England industry has begun to DO anticl-
paed, and it is only now that practical
demonstration OF that effect IS given. The
cut of wages in the New England mills, In
the midst OF increasing industrial prosper
ity, with demand for product incr casing
and raw material lower than for years IS
q flag of distress, a sign of migration of
the industry TO q more favorable scat,
where labor and power are cheaper, trades
unionism is less arrogant and coal and raw
material are close at hand. The cotton

star route syndicates derive annually
from the s,b-letting of its contracts the
government could easily afford not only
to give it's carriers better wages, but
also grant improved mailing facilities
to the rural districts.
The measure proposed by Congress
man Tate aims to cure the defects of the
present system of awarding contracts
and to save the government the enOr-
nous sums Of money which are now
tributary to the Golfers of the star route
syndicates. The measure provides thaC
star route contracts shall be awarded
to parties residing in the districts
through which the routes extend ana
consequently makes it impossible Tor
syndicate abuses to spring up under the
contract system as amended. Congress
man Tate halls from a portion OF the
state in which the evils of the present
system are strongly felt on account OF
the number of star routes in the district
AS the measure is general in its scope
and character, applying to every state
and territory in the union, it should en-
list the jealous support of our national
lawmakers

The Cotton Seed Industry.

The extraordinary growth Of the cot
ton seed industry in the south during
the past decade constitutes one of the
most striking features of cur industrial
progress since the war.
Ten years ego the cotton seed was
looked upon with contempt as something
which could not be utilized except fer
planting or fertilizing purposes, end
on account of the vast quantity Of cot
ton seed produced. most Of the crop
found its way back ingo the soil. Today
the cotton seed is looked upon with ad.
m'ring homage On account of its
increased value the farmer cannot afforn
to fertili2e his soil with it as in Zines
past, bat prefers to haul it into mar
ket. where it becomes tributary to the
cotton seed industry.
Since the birth Of the cotton seed in
dustry in this section each year has
enlarged its growing area and increased
the scope Of its possibilities. vt the
present time the finest quality Of salad
oils. compound lard bugterine and other
products are made from cotton seed:
while the waste material resulting is
used to fatton cows and hogs for mar
ket. If such results have been accom-
plished during the brief period Of only
ton years, can anyone limit the pOssj-
biiitics which the future holds in store
for the cotton seed?
As to the present size and Importance
Of the industry it is estimated that the
total weT@ht Of cotton seed products
manufactured in the south is fully equal
to half the weight of the cotton crop.
This is something enormous. as the
weight of this years cotton crop, on the
basis Of 100000 bales. can hardly fall
short of 5000, 600, 900 pounds, making
the total weight Of cotton seed products
manufactured not less than 100000 eco
pounds. But there is still room for
much greater expansion. On the au-
thority Of agricultural experts, it is
stated that the total amount Of cotton
seed produced yearly is double the
amount Of cotton baIed; and applying
this ratio to the present crop, it makes
tho amount Of cotton seed aggregate at
least 10000 600 coo pounds. As the
products manufactured from cotton seed
aggregate in weight only one-f0urth II
this amount, it is evident that the indus
try as yet consumes only small per-
centage of the cotton seed available.
Although restricted exclusively to
this section, the cotton seed industry has
made itself felt in northern and eastern
markets, and is destined in time to
stamp its impress upon international
pOuly0avpa

can be issued in notes. This sort OF
thing has passed for banking for so
long that a great many well-meanlns
men have come TO believe that 1t IS
banking In quiet and courteous way
Mr. DOdsWorth gave the absurd law
most tremendous dressing down, ana the
bankers applauded him! Surely there
is promise Of better things when such
events take place in broad daylight ana
in public When an idol IS Jeered at
its destruction is only a question OF time
The speech of Mr.. DodsWorth was ?
long step forward, but the convention
went further. 1t not only adopted MI
DeSaussure's resolutions ION the prac-
1ical features OF which we have already
commented at length), but adopted
resolution in behalf of banking ana
financial system under which banks with
a capital Of $25, coo and over may issue
notes to circulate as money on com
mercial assets Think Of that-com-
mercial assets.
Why, when The Constitution talked
about commercial assets as the basis OF
bank notes GnclUding the property la
bility of individual stockholders), ma
tional banker wrote us a note inqulrlng
why we didn't come out for the sub
treasury plan of the alliance, which he
ayerred was something better. Buf
now, behold. The Constitution was only
a few years in advance, and the process
sion has not only caught up, but IS
trying to pass us in the road
1t is but the evolution of the newt
able, and the long step forward taken by
the southern bankers cOnvinces US that,
In good time, and in their own interests,
they VIII be willing 20 accept the dem
ocratic plan of currency reform, which
will not only take the government out
Of the banking business, but viii take
the banks out of the government bust
ness and enable them to issue their
credit notes on the sound and enduring
basis of coin redemption
This is a part of the qualification The
Constitution gets out of the interesting
convention OF southern bankers.

The Coming Industry.

Within the last few years the putting
up of canned goods has become one OF
the NEST important industries OF the
United States. Scattered throughout
this country at the present time there
are not less than 1000 canneries, repre-
senting the enormous capital OF $15.-
600 600
The industry Is divided into four main
branches. First comes the canning
Of food preparations. such as meats.
cereals, soups and the like. in which
branch some 5000 persons are employed
and capital amounting to T,0OOO00 is
represented
Next comes the canning Of fruits and
vegetables In this important branch
Of the industry not less than 10000 per
sons are employed, while the capital
represented amounts to $30000,00O. This
branch of the industry is carried on
mainly in Maryland and New York.
Still another important branch is
concerned With the canning Of preserves
and pickles. In this branch Of the IN
dustry several thousand persons are en-
ployed. As to the capital represented.

star R.oute Postal Reform.

Congressman Tate's measure which
provides for certain radical changes in
the present system Of awarding star
route postal contracts. is fr3ught with
beneficent and practical results. In the
first place 1t seeks to break up the star
route syndiCates which are rapidly
coming money at the expense Of the gov
erament; and in the second place, II
seeks TO confer better mailing facilities
upon the rural districts
With this two-foId object in view it
should meet with the hearty support or
our national lawmakers.
What are known as star routes in the
postal regulations of the government
extend mainly throughout the rural dis
trirts. embracing territory which is not
trayerscd by railways. Under the sys-
tenn Of awarding contracts which is now
observed. parties other than residents
of the various districts covered by these
routes are permitted to make bids; and
consequently the star route syndcateS
which are now feeding upon the gov
ernment with such yOracious appettes,
owe their existence to statutory causes.
These svndfcates contract with the gov
arnment to deliver its mail along the
various star routes for certain stipulated
sums. and then in turn they enter into
contracts with third parties, agreeing
to pay them 50 much less for each route,
