Changed Sentiments Now Expressed in
the Press Of the South.
No one who reads the newspapers of
the south can fail to note a most deci-
ded change in tone of the editorial ex-
pressions now as compared with the
same four years ago. At that time the
southern newspapers were gloomy, and
seemed to think that the country was
going to the dogs because the gold
standard had not been overthrown and
the free coinage of silver inaugurated
| Our contemporaries We're preaching
against the money power, organized
wealth, the reign of the octopus and all
that. 1t was cry of calamity from
Maryland to Texas
But to-day the southern newspapers
are talking prosperity, and their local
columns are teeming with announce
ments Of old industries working night
and day to keep up their orders, and
new industries starting up. With few
exceptions, no southern newspaper ever
mentions the subject Of free silver, and
an article which recently appeared in
one of the leading papers of the south,
headed ''Senseless War on Corpora
TONS has been going the rounds of the
southern press A Memphis man prints
in the Commercial-AppeaI a commu-
nication in which he comes out boldly
for trade expansion in the east, and
says that he sis in favor of compelling
every naked savage on the face OF the
earth to put on shirt made from
southern cotton and woven in southern
looms, the constitution to the contrary
Notwithstanding"
A Tennessee editor suggests that the
country editors meet together at Nash
vile on January for the purpose of
discussing ways and means for the in
dustrlal development of the state, and
the Improvement of state laws relating
thereto.
From all quarters in the south we
hear the cry of progress and advance
ment, and any paper in this section
which now sets up calamity wall will
be as lonesome as voice in the wilder
ness.

some time thereafter the party leaders
