CURRENT COMMENT,

The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem) says: Mills in Lowell have
sold back to the South 5000 bales of
cotton because it is more profitable to
sell cotton at present prices than to
make 1t into cloth. OF course, they
are counting on buying their cotton
later on at lower rates, and there is
every reason to believe that they will
succeed in doing this, to the discomfit-
ure of the rampant bulls who are now
making fictitious prices"
The New York Journal Of Commerce
(Ind) says: IN proper elasticity
would furnish an adjustable factor in
the money market that would bring
rates into legitimate relation to sup
ply and demand ard give them stabil-
ity. 1t is quite possible that remedial
legislation will be STAYED off at the
next session of Congress, but Mr.. Can
non cannot prevent the agitation and
discussion of the subject even at Wash
ington, and the policy of suppressing
the only issues of Importance before
the country cannot long prevail, be-
cause events win force them upon the
attention of the people"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says:
Wage earners are opposed to child
it in the concrete. Collectively, in their
unions, they denounce it as one Of the
greatest outrages of the time indi-
vidually. as the fathers of healthy chill
dren, especially boys, who are capable
of contributing to the family income,
and are not too easy to manage, they
are heartily in favor of child labor. In
short they wish their own children
employed, but not the children of other
people. Child labor is denounced as a
gross outrage when il can be made to
appear that the parents have to put
their children to work in order to exc
out their own scanty incomes, but some
parents whose incomes are not scanty
are just as anxious as other parents
to get whatever additional income may
be obtained through the children The
legislation of last winter prohibiting
the employment of boys under Is in
coal mines was inspired by the pitiful
tales told by the miners when they
were trying to get their wages raised.
and now the miners are in state of
high indignation because their boys
are compelled 20 be idle The bitun1-
tnous miners say ingenueusly that they
did not object to the bill when 1t was
pending because they thought il would
apply only to the anthracite miners: il
was no concern OF theirs how idle other
peoples boys were.y

CANNON AGAINST THE CURRENCY
BILLS.

AS Mr.. Cannon is practically certain
to be elected Speaker of the House
some views on currency legislation to
which he gave expression a day
or two ago are causing I'M
easiness to the friends of both
the Fowler and Aldrich bills. Mr..
Cannon is one of those statesmen
who are of the opinion that there is
money enough now to transact the
legitimate business of the country, and
that there. is no need for what the
financiers call a more elastic currency.
He has given some attention to the
money question, being president of a
national bank. His idea seems to be
that the first thing to be considered in
connection with the currency is It's
Bafety. Therefore he is against the
Aldrfch bill which provides that other
bonds than those of the United States
shall be the basis of it. And he is
against permitting the Secretary of the
Treasury to accept other than United
States bonds as security for govern
n1ent deposits in national banks. It
seems that he has been studying the
financial situation from the standpoint.
of the banks, and has come to the con-
clusion that in the West and South the
banks have all the money they want
and that the cry for more money and
an elastic currency comes from New
York and other Eastern cities where
it is wanted for speculative purposes.
Mr.. Cannon says that in all parts of
the country there is sufficient
amount of currency for legitimate bus
mess purposes, and that the scarcity at
times in New York is due to the de-
mand for it by those engaged in stock
gambling.
OF course there is much truth in what
Mr.. Cannon says-that is, that when
there is a stringency in the money mar
ket it is due largely to the requirements
of the spectators in securities and the
products of the farm-but there are
seasons of the year when the demand
for money for strictly business pur-
poses is greater than at other seasons.
crops are being moved it is doubtful If
the banks of the West and South have
all the money that is required for that
purpose. The currency therefore should
be given an elasticity sufficient TO meet
the legitimate demands upon it.
AS Mr.. Cannon will have the appoint
pointment of the committee on Bank
ing and Currency, his opposition to
both the Fowler and Aldrich bills nat
urally creates uneasiness among the
friends of these measures. 1t indicates
that he intends that there shall be no
hasty currency legislation simply be-
cause the banking and other financial
interests of New York are calling for
more money.

No doubt the invitations 10 attend
the opening of the Mill-Haven line of
the Savannah Electric Company viii
be very generally accepted. We ven
ture TO say that a very considerable
percentage of the business men Of the
city do not know how extensive the
improvements are in what can be prop
erly called the factory district. There
are nine large plants, nearly all of
which have been established, or have
reached their present proportions,
within the last few years. The river
front for long distance up the river
is about all occupied. In this district
thousands of people earn living.
IT was a happy thought of the Sa-
vannah Electric Company to make the
opening of its line leading to these fac
tories the occasion for showing the
business men of the city the size and
importance Of these manufacturing
plants. After they see them they will
be satisfied the city hasn't been stand
ing still. They will be ready to admit
that it is growing, and, that too, in
very substantial way
One reason why these factories west
of the city are so prosperous is that
they are carefully and wisely managed.
At one time there was a disposition on
the part Of Savannahs business men
to put no more money in factories, be-
cause some of those in which they had
invested had not been successful. The
cause Of their failure was doubtless the
lack of the right kind of management
No business undertaking stands a
chance of success unless carefully and
intelligently managed.
The Chamber of Commerce is now
making efforts to get other factories
here, and there is no doubt it will be
successful. but ii win require persistent
and well-directed effort to accomplish
a great deal. 1t is prepared for effort
of that kind, and with the sympathy of
the people supporting 1t we have every
reason to believe that Savannah will
become a great manufacturing, as it is
a great commercial, city.
