Possibilities of Cotton Manufacture.

Mr.. ID. a. Tompkins, Of Charlotte, de-
livcrcd an address in Atlanta last week
i'm which he made some interesting state
mcnts regarding The possibilities of cotton
manufacture. In showing the difference
in value between the raw material and
the finished product, he said that North
Carolina produced about 1OO,0O0 bales of
cotton. ibis cotton, at $ cents Il pound
would hc worth $i,OOO,OOO, but if manu-
facturcd into fine goods would bring into
the state $iO,0OO,W0 or more thatl Sclvc
times as much as he raw mctcrial would
bring. lie stated further that if these
5nO,OOO bales were manufactured into
null, an article produced by the skilled
artizans of France, it would he worth
$:;NO, ,uoO, ,nOo. And if il was made into
nairsook il would bring Sl,50O,noO,O 900.
There was more to the same effect, but
the figures given suffice to prove that
South Carolina can well afford to support
Il school which teaches and ira rs its pco-
pie I" make something more profitable
than "plan' goods.

II am not in accord with the Republi.
can party of to-day on any political
principle that is engaging the attention
of the people of the United States.
I am utterly opposed to the mone-
tary policy, not only the gold standard,
but the policy of turning the manage
ment and control Of the money of the
country to the national banks.
II am utterly opposed to the building
up and fostering OF trusts, which is man.
ifestly the policy Of the Republican
party of to-day, although il is politically

Oily says, "The government cannot
be wheedled by sentimentalists, or
dragooned by political opportunists,
into forming or delivering any ex-
preston of sympathy for or interest in
the South African conflict" Oh, no :;
OF course not. 1t would be decidedly
impolitic to admit any bias in such a
matter; but it is said that acts speak
louder than words, and there is an
abundance of such proof that the ad-
ministration is fully committed to the
support of the English in that con-
tention. The summary removal of
our Consul at Pretoria for protesting
against the right of Great Britain to
open and examine his correspondence
with the State Department, is suffici-
ent to show the lengths the admins
tratlon will 60 in support of the secret
alliance, by which even England's fin.
ancial policy has been swallowed by
the leaders of a party that has always
professed sentiment for bimetallism.

wheedled" or "dragooned" into ad-
uniting the simple truth, because it

lenses to drop the mask Just now,

What What I.

Little Oily, under the heading OF
"The Horrors of War;" endeavors to
institute 4 comparison between our
late trouble with Spain and EnSland's
present contention with the Beers in
South Africa. He affects to believe
that our trouble was but Il passing
cloud to the storm which oyerwhelms
the Transvaal. He says of the Span
ish.American war:
The actual fighting amounted to very
little. The contestants were not evenly
matched. The Spanish fought in only a
half hearted way and were glad when
the affair was over. There was nothing
on their side which could be called re-
sistance, for they mad poor guns, poor
ammunition, very little discipline and
no patriotic ardor, which proved that we
did well to 90 to the relief of the mis-
ruled and oppressed.
1t would indeed be difficult to en-
brace more misstatements within an
eleven-line paragraph than are given
in the above. Did the actual fighting
amount to but little when our navy
performed achievements unparalleled
in history in Manila bay and off San
tiago? Did the Spanish fight in a
half-hearted way" after carrying a
chip OH the shoulder for years and
firing time and again upon our mer-
chant ships and sneeringly calling our
soldiers yankee pigs"? Was there
no resistance when such valiant warri-
ors as the Rough Riders encountered
a storm of shot and shell which left
so many comrades on the field of the
slain? Had they "poor guns" when
they were armed with Mauser rifles,
the best fire-arm known? Had they
poor ammunition when they used
smokeless powder, of which our army
had none? Was there no patriotic
ardor, when after blowing up one of
our war-ships the Spanish fortresses
opened and kept up a constant fire on
our blockading squadron, long before
our government had "got down to
business?
What object our deluded brother
may have in belittling the achieve
ments of the Spanish war, we fail to
discover, but certain it is that the en-
emy's naval equipments were quite
equal to our own, and her army Ap-
planes vastly superior, and the "pa-
triotic ardor" displayed by Aguinaldo
and his band-an emotion which Oily
says has not existed-has been suffici-
ent at least to keep the administra.
ton in hot water ever since the treaty
OF peace was signed by the parent
government.
1t is for just such disparaging com.
ments that Atkinson's literature has
been suppressed and the "Abe Lin
coin of the West" has let his jaw
tackle loose upon him to convince
Boston that he and Senator Hoar are
traitors.
Come, brother, shake up that brain
pan of yours and state few facts &C.
casionally to bolster up your sinking
cause.
