Well. we should saw not If was NOT

many of them were not running at all.
American cotton was Skinned to Man

Under the Dingley protective tariff

mills have been built.
In the South the greatest mango

have been built. and cotton has adj

of the South will receive many millions
more for this wears crop tina in wears
before.
Another great change has been
wrought in the South. For the first
time the price of cotton is fixed by To-
cal mills. instead of by Liverpool brok-
ers. A statement as to this is made by
the Raleigh CGa.) News:
I'VE know of a lot of cotton. 100
bales or more, sold during this week to
a local buyer for local mills for one
fourth of a cent per pound more than
IL exporter would pay for it. not
withstanding the fact that the purchas-
err was so situated that he had to haul
the cotton in wagons a distance of "a
miles to the local mill. This is a con-
dition of the cotton trade that has
never before existed at this season OF

The Railroad Gazette reports that.
according to estimates and facts al
ready at hand, it appears that during
the year ending Dec. 81 more than
$500 miles of railroad were built in
the United States. There have been no
figures like these since before the free
trade blight fell upon the country
through the election Of Grover Cleve-
land to the presidency in 1892. During
the free trade period the average
number of miles of new railroad built
per year did not reach half this
amount. Free trade is as preventive of
the further development of the country
and of a greater opening up of its re-
sources as 1t is destructive to business
already established. Every one of those
$500 and more miles OF new railroad
was built in response to the demands
Of some new industry, or e the in
creased demand for transportation
facilities made by those Industries al

life was given by the enactment of the

cents per pound on all long stapled
cotton imported into the United States,
and that a copy of these resolutions
be furnished the senators and repre-
s%entatives in congress-"
Who will say after this that the
world does not move. and that the
South is not progressing? One can
excuse the curious inconsistency of the
declaration which in one breath calls
for a tariff for revenue only and in the
next breath stipulates hat the duty on
long-stapled foreign cotton shall be
prohibitive. 1t must be remembered
that the Georgia Democrats, having in
their veins the blood of three genera
lions of free traders, are not very well
up in the logic OF latter-day
les. and hence do not know that a
tariff for revenue only and a protective
tariff are elements as incompatible as
oil and water. as inter-repugnant, in
ter-destructive, and contradictory. But
there Is hope for them. They are
surely ascending in the scale of intelli-
gence and practical COMMON sense, and
to become full-fedged protectionists
all they nee is time and just a little
more intelligence.

seventy years has stood for the doc
trine of selling in the dearest market
and buying in the cheapest market. but
which now seems to be on the point OF

protection VS.. free trade, we append
the following draft of a me uorial to
the congress of the United States, in
troduced by Mr.. Dickerson in the
Georgia state senate and by hat body
adopted:
Memorial to our senators and rep
resentatives in congress in reference
to a duty on Egyptian and long sta
pied cotton, or on the importation
thereof:
Whereas. The present price of long
stapled or sea island cotton is now far
below the cost of production. causing
n large area of our state to languish
and a once profitable industry to
waver and die; and,
Whereas, The low price referred to
Is o due to oyerproduction, as is
demonstrated by the fact thai for a

fine was II cents, while for the last
crop, 1000 bales only, or % per cent
less than the year previous, the aver

Whereas. The lndIsputablo cause
for our low prices, financial depression
and agricultural discomfort is found in
the annually increasing Importation of

Whereas, The Democratic party md
people have not deemed 1t derogatory
to their principles and interest to have

Mr.. w. l.. Terhune, publisher of the
Boot and Shoe Record, says: The
boot and shoe trade is closing the most
prosperous year since 1892" In spite
of the apparent fears of the free-trad-
ers, therefore, it appears that the peo-
pie have not suffered for foot comfort.
Increase of work and wages has taken
care of the shoe question. And 1t fur
Their appears that the much talked Of
tarin on hides, SO loudly denounced by
the free-traders, has laid no burdens
on buyers of shoes. In Mr.. Terhune's
opinion, the tariff IN hides has had mo
detrimental influence" on the boot and
shoe business. He states, in fact, that
scarcely any hides are imported for
boots and shoes.

1t may be noted that while the pro-
fessors are %disputing as to the COM
mercial utility of liquid air as a pow
er, the main engine work of the world
is still done by steam. Electricity came
long before liquid air. 1t has been
put to commercial uses for twenty
years, and immense advances have
been made in its production and appli-
cation. Yet the extent to which 1t
has actually superseded steam as an
applied power is really trivial-and
there is a steam engine behind every
current of electricity that is put to
commercial uses. Within a few special
lines electricity is practicable as an
agency for distributing the power
originally generated in a steam engine:
but the day when steam shall cease
to be the driving power of the world
seems to be as far off as ever.

The bridge of boats which now forms
the only means of crossing the Bos-
phorus is entirely insufficient to meet
the demands and it is suggested to
build a tubular tunnel from shore to
shore, so that traffic may go on with
out interruption. Because of the lack
of a suitable foundation, this tube must
be suspended or fioated below the sur
face of the water. The scheme sounds
somewhat impracticable, but it is be-
ing seriously considered.
