WONDERFUL INDUSTRIAL GROWTH.

For the past twenty-five years the Demo-
cratic party has been crying out that the
industrial policy of the Republican party
was running the country. This has been
especially true at the South, where our
statesmen were either unable or unwilling
to get away from the old ruts in which
they had been trained by the free traders
Strange to say there are many, who from
ignorance or prejudice, still cling to the fall
lacies OF low tariff and Democratic doctrine
in the face of the facts that tell OF a most
wonderful industrial development in all
sections of the Union, but particularly at
the South.
In a recent issue of Harper's Weekly
Mr.. Richard E. Edmonds gives some in
teresting statistics about the industrial
development at the South. He says:
In 1850 the South produced 43l ,OOO,O 900
bushels of grain. The crop for lS9S-99 ag'
gregated 100000 bushels The rail-
road mileage, which in 1880 aggregated
only 20, 600 miles, has now reached $4,000
miles. The Southern cotton mills i'll 1880
consumed 233, 1856 bales. In lS9S-99 they
consumed 1893, 900 bales. The coal mined
in 1886 was 5000, 900 tons, while in 1899
the total of 100000 tons has been
reached. The capital invested in cotton
mills has increased from S21 100000 in
1880 to 1925, 900, 600 at the present time.
From 397 900 tons of pig iron in 1880 the
product has now grown to $4,000 tons.
There is SAC, 0000 600 capital in cotton seed
oil manufacture now as against $500, 900
IN 1880 The capital invested in manu-
featuring today aggregates $1,000, 900, 600,
while in 1880 it was only $257 900, 600.
The spindles in cotton mills in 1880 num-
bered 667 200. This year they number
100000 The amount of phosphate
mined has increased from 10000 tons to
100000 tons. The cotton crop has
reached the aggregate of 1925 600 bales.
In 1880 it was only 5,75O,OO0. The value
of manufactured products in the South has
kept pace with the increase Of the output.
From $457 100000 in 1880 this value
reached ST. 900, 900, 900 in 1899.
Under the so-called ruinous policy of the
Republican party during the past twenty
years there has been such marvellous pro-
gress in all classes of industries at the
South that the figures are almost startling.
Have these conditions been the result OF
the industrial policy of the Republican
party? Our Democratic friends will say,
no. They continue, however, to ASSERT
that the Republican policy is wrong and
injurious. If the very opposite results to
what they claim will come, follow the con-
tinuance of a certain policy, is it not just
and reasonable to believe it is a true con-
dition flowing from true cause?
The figures we have given above ought
to stop the mouths of those political agita-
tors who continue to abuse the Republican
policy and sound tile praises of the disas.
trous doctrines of free trade. They GER
tainly ought to open the eyes of the bust
ness men at the South, and also satisfy the
workingmen that return TO Democratic
government would be dangerous expert
ment.

GAM THIS BE TRUE 2

There has been some talk, we learn, of
taking most of the appointments out ofthe
hands of the governor by the incoming
Legislature. We can hardly credit such
statement. 1t is probably known that we
are not particularly stuck on the present
governor OF Virginia, and some think we
might therefore favor such a course, but
not so. The governor has not much
power at best. The little patronage he
enjoys might at times be better distributed,
we admit, but this is usually the fault OF
the man and not the system. 1t would be
a bit of petty spite work to do such thing,
we hardly think set of Virginia gentle
men would resort to.-Staunton Spectator.
Why not credit such statement? This
would be no new proceeding for the So
called Virginia Democracy. Has the Spec
tator forgotten that the Legislature of Vir-
pinia at its session of 1SS3-S4 did thing of
that kind, that it took appointments out
of the hands of Governor Cameron? The
petty spite was then heaped upon Cover
nor Cameron because he was Readjuster;
and the further outrage was committed OF
unseating enough Readjuster Members to
give the Democrats two,t thirds majority,
and to thus override the Governors veto
power. This was one of the greatest po-
itical crimes ever committed in Virginia,
but the Democratic press and party con-
doned the offense. eve hardly think a
set of Virginia gentlemen would resort to"
such crime; but q Virginia Democratic
Legislature did. Has Virginia Democracy
improved any since that time? Let the
Democrats in Virginia who have revolted
against the Martin machine answer.

the makers of cigars or of gentlemen

PROGRESSIVE DISHONESTY.

Elsewhere we publish an article from
the Washington Post which is scathing
but true picture of the political situation in
Kentucky. 1t shows to what a state OF
DEGRADATION and dishonesty the Democrat
ic party in Kentucky has been brought by
the influence of Goebelism and the use OF
an election law which was copied from the
Virginia election law.
1t was understood from the start that
the Goebel law was intended to give the
Democratic machine such absolute control
of the situation that it would be impossible
for the Republicans ever TO carry the State
again, though they should be in the ma
ioritv. The recent election in Kentucky
has brought to light possibilities in the
Virginia law that have heretofore been I'M
observed. Goebel has, at one STEP shown
what can be accomplished under law
that is 50 unfair, and demonstrated that
snch q measure in the hands of an un-
scrupulous faction is too dangerous to So
ciety and Republican institutions to be
tolerated by honest men and patriotic
citizens. He has by one stroke brought a
heretofore proud State to q condition OF
humiliation and shame. Not only has the
integrity of the election officials been de-
bauched, but the Judicial, ermine that
should ever be pure and spotless, has been
dragged in the mire. The Post has truly
said: eve risk nothing in the assertion
that in the history of American elections
there has been no spectacle more disgrace
full and abhorrent than that now presented
by the Kentucky Democracy"
This is the legitimate offspring OF the
GOeDel election law, MLllCl' 20 WV A'S' ~
of the Virginia election law. Is not the
situation in Kentucky spectacle which
should cause "honest Democrats, honest
men-all who care for justice, honor, and
self-respect"-to seriously consider Inc
dangers which confront them in Virginia
Here we have the original election law on
which the Goebel law was constructed. Ii
is in the hands of machine that, while
not, perhaps, as INSCRIPTIONS as that O
Goebel, has been progressing in dishonesty
and that will ultimately become as dehan
of all the laws of right and decency as ha'
the Kentucky machine, unless the gooc
men of Virginia, regardless of party, unite
and deprive it of the means it now pos
sesses for frauduently controlling the bal
lots in Virginil. Honest Vrginians shouie
gaze upon the picture painted in Kentucky
by Goebel with the brush and colors thai
have been taken from the Virginia law.

SENATOR HAYWARD, of Nebraska, is re-
ported to be very ill, and it is stated can
live but few deys. 1t is intimated that
the Governor of Nebraska will appoint Mr..
Bryan as Senator to succeed Mr.. Hayward,
as the legislature of that State does not
meet until 1901. If Mr.. Bryan should get
into the Senate of the United States during
the coming session he will have ample
opportunity to make a great amount of
record for himself and party. we doubt,
however, if the record he would make
would strengthen him or his party.
