 If We would r5ach out and secure the trade of these countries there would not be a touch of hard times here for cen- tury to come. Our merchants. manu- facturers and producers would be kept busy supplying the demand from this new quarter.
 It is hard to explain why we have so log neglected these profitable customers at our doors. The only reason that csn be given Is that our politicians concentrate so much of their attention upon seeking office ard holding it that they have no time to devote to our commercial inter- ests.

Armor Plate.

England and Geramny, pay s425 per ton for armor plate, yet it has been demon- strated that can be made profitably at $500 per ton in this country. At any rate, the senate has decided that the government will not pay more than $300 and unless the armor manufacturers come down off their high horse, Uncle Sam will start up an armor plate manufactory of his own. And he will be forced to put up a steel plant in connection with it. This will en- tail an investment of several millions. Uncle Sam is notoriously extravagant in conducting his business. Ex-Postmaster- General says that there is an outlay of slO00,000 year in the postoffice depart ment that is entirely unnecessary. Uncle Sans armor plate will probably cost him $500 per ton. But he can avoid this exor- bitant cost by locating his manufactory in Birmingham. Here he can get iron and steel cheaper than anywhere else in the world. If he is the shrewd fellow he is credited with being, he will not hesitate for a moment. He can ship his plates to Mobile and have his ships put together where lumber is cheaper than anywhere else in the United States and where work men can live well and cheaply on fish and oysters.

 A SAD CASE.

John Tyler Cooper who is now serving a three months sentence in the Atlanta
 jail, reminds one of Judge Longstree t's hero Master William Mitten, who was ruined by good luck.
 Cooper belongs to a leading family, and is related to ex-President Tyler. He is descended from fine old revolutionary stock, and is member of the Society of Cincinnati, an organiza ton composed of the male descendants of Washington's officers.
 He came out of the late war with a good confederate record, and the people of Atlanta liked him so well that they have kept him in office for about thirty years. He has been clerk in the ordin- ary 8 office, mayor and clerk of the coun- ty commissioners.
 Unfortunately, Cooper began his official life at a time when careless methods prevailed. He was a natural product of his school, and when Atlanta became more systematic he chung to his old ways. Why should he account for public money
 or make an entry on his books today
 him. He used the county's money This habit of procras tination ruined ruined him. He used the county's money at his pleasure, but always with the in- tention of replacing it.
 When he went out of office he ad- mitted that he owed the county some- thing, and asked for time to straighten his accounts Before he had paid the money the grand jury indicted him for embezzlement, and, though he made the payment later. he was tried, con- victed, and sentenced to pay fine of $500 and stay in jail three months. The governor refused to knock off the jail sentence, and the former mayor of Att lanta will have to serve his term. It is a sad case. The man was guilty of no intentional wrong. He'knew that he could replace the money he was using, and he saw no harm in it, Everybody seemed to like him, and the thought nev- CT entered his head that anybody would try to disgrace and humiliate him.
 One morning he woke up to find that he was mistaken He was singled out to be sacrificed on the altar of justice. Sim liar cases had been settled, but his was to be made an exception. Even the gov ernor would not interfere. He had re- funded every dollar, and was ready to
 pay his fine. but certain influential men demanded his humiliation, and he was sent to jail
 The case teaches more than one les son. It should teach men never to
 wrongfuHy use the money of others, and
 never to violate the law under the im- pression that their political friends will protect then A public official must be above suspicion if he would be safe.

 We have he fuel. without a question. Cheap iron, all the world knows we have, and the unbroken and untouched forests of our bottom lands and valleys. and hills and mountain plateaus 't ar unquestioned proof that we have the material at hand for all the forms of wood manufacture.
 Our cotton warehouses, and peceip s nearing a hundred thousand bales of cot ton by them, furnish the evidence of the abundance of our resources in the raw materials for all forms of cotton manu- factures.
 Our furnaces and rolling mills offer all the raw materials necessary for any and all kinds of cast and wrought iron manu- factures. and. greaest of all our abund- ance in resources. the problem of an abundant supply of cheap steel has been solved, and the Birmingha m district now throws wide her gates to the greaS world of industry and i1ivifes she capitalist and the ardsan alike to partske of the feast of wealth-maklng and wage-cpeating re- sources set before them in such profusion as can be found in no other spot on Gods 6aotsfooi."
