Testifying before the United States
Monetary Commission, Cernuschi on
being asked the question as to the
effect of the cost OF production on the
value OF money, said: The cost of pro-
auction goes for nothing in the value
OF money. If the purchasing-power of
money depends upon the volume OF
money. 1t cannot depend upon the cost
OF production. If. as some think. the
cost of production is manifest in the
purchasing power of money. we would
possess some dollars which would have
the faculty OF purchasing more than
could be purchased by some other dol
lars of the same metal. But all money
Is the same. and is without regard to
the cost OF production. Certainly. if a
mine is not producing as MANY dollars
as the work upon it costs. this mine
Will stop; BUT THE MONEY NOT
PRODUCED HAS NO INFLUENCE,
ON THE COST OF PRODUCTION OF
THE MONEY IN CIRCULATION. I
do not see how 1t is possible to find
mat the cost of production can dictate
the value of money. IF SUCH WE'RE,
THE CASE. THE SHAREHOLDERS
OF THE MINES WOULD NEVER
MAKE PROFIT nor sustain n loss.
The value OF money depends upon
us quantity. 1t is the same with gold
as with greenbacks. If the stock in
circulation is augmented. the purchas-
ing power of every greenback is dimin-
'shed; and so with gold and silver.
THE PURCHASING-P POWER is AL
WAYS IN RELATION TO THE
QUANTITY OF THE MONEY. /.

Dear Father and Mother-We
have just landed from the trans
port Roumanian after a very pleas
and successful trip. We left Sa-
vannah Saturday morning, Jan.
ID, dropped down to the mouth
of the river, stopped there till
Sunday morning, then put to sea.
Had good weather and smooth sea
till we struck the Gulf stream,
then encountered gale which
blew great guns, lasting till Tues
day midnight. We passed in
sight of southern shore of Flori-
da. No other incident of special
interest till we passed into the
bay at Nuevitas about 10 a. m.
Wednesday. Here we anchored
eight miles from the town. We
remained on board the transport
until yesterday, when we were
lightered ashore. We are camped
about one hundred yards from the
shore up from the bay. The town
Nuevitas, has nominally about
1000 inhabitants. I hardly know
how to describe it. The houses
are small, all built of mud or Of
palms, and for the most part have
a quaint, dilapidated appearance.
The scenery. is truly grand.
Vegetation is charming, flowers
are very abundant and of exquis-
lite beauty and delightful fra

The view up this charming bay
is really magnificent. I do be-
lieve this is the most beautiful
country in the world. You may
read descriptions of it for years,
but | am prepared to say that it
surpasses anything your most ex-
allied Imagination can picture this
side of Eternal Paradise.
1t is very hot here in the sun.
| have Invested myself of under
clothes and socks, wearing only
an undershirt and pants, and of
course must wear shoes to keep
the hot sand from scalding my
feet, yet it is cool and refreshing
in the shade, of which the palm
trees afford abundance, famed by
the breezes from the bay. We can
stand in our camp and see cocoa
nuts, bananas, lemons, oranges,
LINES, and great variety of other
fruits growing in abundance. l

as yet to form an opinion of the
natives. They seem glad to see

COTTON MANUFACTURING IN THE
SOUTH.

We have noticed that the South
ern newspapers, whenever they
are in want of some other subject
to discuss, are greatly given to
showing the superior advantages
of this section over New England
for the manufacture of cotton,
and predicting that this industry
will ultimately be confined to the
South.
While we admit that our Sec
ton has some great advantages
for this purpose, the principal of
which are climate, water power
and the nearness to the cotton
fields, there are others possessed
by New England which more than
counterbalance these, considering
the question from the standpoint
of the production of the finer fab
RIGS. For the coarser goods, there
can be no question but that the
southern contention Is just. New
England's invulnerable point is
the superiority of her labor over
that of the South. To appreci-
ate fully this advantage, recollect
that the former have oeen arti-
sans or a manufacturing people,
since the year 1920 when it's first
settlement was made at Plymouth
Rock, Prof. Shale, of Harvard
University, alleges that the i'm
migrants generally to New Eng
land were from the cities and
towns of the old world, and those
to the South were from the rural
districts of that region. Being
residents of corporations, the
former were mostly engaged in
trade, a very large proportion
following mechanical pursuits,
while the settlers of the South,
being from the country, were
pure agriculturists. At the Pc
Rod of the breaking out of the
Revolutionary war, the former
section had made such progress in
manufacturing as to excite the
alarm of the mother country for
those of Britain, and measures
were adopted to suppress them.
The South has always been as it
Is today, a farming section.
There are now operatives in the
New England mills whose parents,
grandparents and great-grand-
parents before them followed the
same calling. Who will claim
that this hereditary aptitude and
lifelong training should be pass
ed over lightly as of little impor-
lance /?
We cannot hope to induce these
skilled laborers of the east to come
south and work in our mills, in
sufficient numbers to make our
competition with New England
seriously felt. There are several
reasons for this, among them be-
ing that wages for this class of
work are far higher in the north
than in the south; and labor in
! the former section is considered
greatly more honorable than in the
latter A great deal also depends,
in the successful production of
the finer fabrics, upon the skilled
direction given to ordinary labor;
and in this connection we are glad
to note that the "Textile Depart
ment" of the State chronological
School in Atlanta will soon be
in operation; and we have no
doubt but that it's graduates will
very materially raise the STAN
dard of excellence of the textile
production of the south.
1t is our opinion that for the
present, our section should con-
fine its operations to the sphere
of the coarser fabrics; for we can
produce them with such labor as
we have at less cost and as good
as in the east.

There is tree in Persia to which the
name 1.-THE sorrowful tree" is given
Perhaps because it blossoms only in the
evening
When the first star appears in the
heavens the first bud of the sorrowful
tree opens, and as the shades of night
advance and the stars thickly stud the
sky the buds continue gradually open
ing until the whole tree looks like one
immense white flower On the approach
of dawn, when the brilliancy of the
stars gradually fades in the light Of
day. the sorrowful tree closes it's flow
ers, and ere the sun is fully risen not a
single blossom is visible A sheet of
flower dust as white as snow covers the
ground around the foot of the tree,
which seems blighted and withered dur
ing the day while, however, it is ac-
lively preparing for the next nocturnal
festival The fragrance of the blossoms
is like that Of the evening primrose.
If the tree is cut down close to the
roots, new plant shoots up and attains
maturity in an incredibly short time.
In the vicinity of this singular tree
there usually grows another, which is
almost an exact counterpart of the sor-
rowful tree. but less beautiful, and,
strange to say, it blooms only in the
day time st. Louis Globe-Democrat

A Bride with Some Good Points.

Some years ago in an agricultural
district there lived farmer who want
ed to sell one of his cows. There was
not at that time weekly paper in
which he could advertise, so he resolved
to follow local custom and ask the
vicar Of the parish when giving out his
notices at church to advertise the cow
Eyes, farmer, said the vicar. II
should be willing to oblige you. but
you don't attend my church :
Presently however, they struck a
bargain that the vicar should advertise
the cow and the man in return prom
Used to go to church
Now. unfortunately the man was
deaf. and on the Sunday following when
the vicar gave out the banns of mar
riage between Joseph So-andso, bach
elor, and Sarah So-and-so spinster, the
farmer took it for granted that the
vicar was giving out particulars of his
COW and shouted out:
.sYou might as well say while you
are about it that she is most gentle
creature and entirely free from vice.

Hearn,. vivid Imagination.

Many years ago Lafcadio Hearn was
a reporter on the staff of a Cincinnati
newspaper. One day famous steeple
climber was going to scale the spire Of
the cathedral to repair the cross that
topped the spire 200 feet above the side
walk. The afternoon he first scaled the
spire thousands of people watched him
breathlessly as he slowly made his way
up the outside of the steeple. OF course
he was interviewed, and he said boast
ingly that the task was SO easy that he
could just as well carry man up on
his back
That noon Hearn said timidly to his
city editor that he had read of the
steeple climbers offer and would be
glad TO ascend the spire on his back.
The editor tried to point out to Hearn
the peril of the thing, but he would
not listen Finally the steeple climber
and Hearn arranged their end of the
feat
At the appointed time Hearn mount
ed the steeple climbers shoulders, and
the dizzy journey began. Tens of thou
sands of people watched the foolhardy
pair. At last the cross was reached, and
Hearn left his perch on the climber 8
shoulders. The mob in the streets be-
low cheered, and then the two men re-
turned to the ground safely.
Hearn went back to the Office and sat
down and wrote two columns of story
describing his sensations, and the glo-
ries of the view he had obtained from
the steeple top Such a glowing de-
scription of city seen from a great
height has never been read before or
since The most interesting thing about
it was the fact that Hearn was SO near
sighted he could not see five feet beyond
the tip of his nose. Francisco
