The Southern bankers in attendance on the American Bankers Association at its recent meeting in New York' were the guests at the dinner given to them by MT Edmonds of Baltimore. At this dinner a resolution was adopted on the motion of MT. Edmonds to in- yoke English cotton spinners to the United States, with the object of hav- ing them visit the South next winter. The object of the visit. if the invitation shall be accepted. is to give the Eng l,sb,nen A chance to study the cotton growing and manufacturing methods of our section.
 We do not feel assured that this invi- tatiou. however cordially extended, however emphatically well-meant Is likely to result in the temporary mi- grafton to this country of any very large number of English manufactur- CTS of cotton. having one purpose in mind to study what the South Is doing to destroy their business at home. The cotton industry of England is undoubt- edly passing through a crisis far more grave in character even than that with which 1t was confronted during our civil war. Then their supplies were cut off by the hostilities that ragged The Lancashire spinners stood ready with equipmsntand skill to convert the cotton if they could get the cotton. They could not get the cotton except in extremely limited quantities, and the period of our war was one of the black est in the suffering it caused at Man chester and the other seats of cotton manufacturing in England.
 At this time there is a fargreater abundance of cotton in the world than there was in 1S61-5. The seas are open, unblockaded for the conveyance of the cotton bales to Liverpool. Yet the cot ton manufacturing industry of England languishes. refusing to flourish. The cotton manufacturing industry in New England languishes, refusing to four ish. What is the cause of these phe- nomena?
 There need be no bragging about the growth and development of Southern cotton mills. When you say that on one line of our railway systems with all its feeding branches, there are sufficient number of mills to dot the main line with Q cotton mill for every two miles in eight hundred miles, the whole story is told. The South with every hindering influence of cheap and therefore inefficient labor advantaging by proximity to all the raw materials of the manufacture Is gradually wrest- ing that manufacture both from Eng land and New England.
 Candidly we fail to see why the Eng lishmen should come over, unless with purpose to build mills and perhaps this idea Is the one the Southern bank CTS hove in the back parts of their heads. If they come they may decide to stay and invest, or going back send the oldest boy to stay and invest.

That Aegres.lye Campaign.

 identical with our own. We have not advocated any regular rear platform stumping tour for Judge Parker. What we have >ontended for Is little judi cious mingling with the people; few speeches in doubtful States; and such d campaign as will give the people q better opportunity to form an estimate of the wo-thiness of the Democratic nominee
 The fact stares Democrats in the face that there Is a lack of interest and that they cannot win unless interest can be aroused. There is even less interest now than in 1900, when the result was a foregone conclusion. And the most feasible means of arousing interest is for the candidate to come more before the people.
 This would not by any means In Volve tour of the country fair circuit or a speech at every village along the railway A few speeches on suspicious occasions in New York. Connecticut Mest Virginia, Indiana and Illinois would be sufficient. They would do a world of good and no harm.

Almost Fabulous Figures.

bpSlOn Herald.
 The deposits in the savings banks In the country closely approximate S3- 000,000.000. which would be about $37 for. every man, woman and child in the United States. Of this amount. more than one third, or something over Sl.- 13l PSI ,000, is held by savings banks in the State of New York. and twelve say ings banks in New York County. which comprises the boroughs. of Manhattan and the Bronx, hold almost half of the total for the State. Measured by per centage. 3S 1-2 per cent of all the savings bank deposits in the coun- try are in the State of New York. more than 20 per cent are in the County of New York, and 17 1-2 per cent are held In twelve New York institutions. The growth of New York savings banks has been remarkable, and the factor that has counted more strongly than any other in this growth is the safety with which deposits in such banks are guarded. It Is figured that in the United States about one family out of every three has money on deposit in a savings bank, though these figures must be largely estimates, for, partic- ularly in cities. depositors frequently carry accounts In more than one insti- tuition.

Bee takes up the course of the Presi dent and his administration in all theii dealings with the Panama matter quoting liberally from messages ana documents. and its language through. out is bitter and uncompromising de- nunciation of the President and his ad- visers and abettors.
 What has changed The Bee? It can not claim that Roosevelt has changed for he has not. He is the same man that he was last year. with the same faults and shortcomings Whether we agree that he was right or wrong in the Panama affair 1t does not change the fact that our California contempor- ary bitterly denounced him for the same qualities he Is still displaying.

MIR. CLEvELAND,s VIEWS.
Former President CIings to Potency of
 Tariff an Issue.

Tariff an Issue.
 New York Special to New Orleans
 William Woodward Baldwin. q Marylander now living here. who was Assistant Secretary of State under a visit to the ex-President during which MT. Cleveland spoke very free ly of the management of the present campaign of the Democrats. MT. Bald win, who enjoyed heart-to-h heart talk with MT. Cleveland. reports the ex- President as deeply interested In the campaign for the election of Judge Parker, but he thinks special atten- tion should be paid to the young men to draw them into the party, MT Cleveland believes that if the disad- vantages under which young men la bor through the operation of the tariff were dwelt upon there would be more votes for the Democratic party. The exPresident still clings to the potency of the tariff as an issue, and would have the Parker campaign managers show how much greater would have been the prosperity of the country du- ring the past eight years If there had been a Democrat in power In Wash ington and the tariff had been pared down. MT Baldwin obtained so much inspiration from the words of his form CT chief that he will in few days, de- liver a campaign speech at the noon day meeting of the Commercial 1raV- elers here.
 T shall make plain" said Mir. Bald win today. that the tariff is responsi- ble for the expansion of great monop- olists, who close the door of opposition to the rising generation. I found MT. Cleveland deeply interested in the campaign, and I think Democratic chances would be better today if he had been nominated. Putting German in control won't have much effect, be- cause the people regard him as they regard Hill, as a politician, trying to shift his sails to catch the breeze. But C1aua1ond {c nf that kind
 MT. Baldwin had no predictions to offer as to results.

WALLACE AS A CAMPAIGN ORATOR.
A special to The Birmingham Age Herald from Washington says:

HeTdlO rom loh 6ayDs At the Parker and Davis Commercial Travellers league meeting. held in New York last week. one of the speakers was John H. Wallace of Alabama. He Elect Roosevelt and with his inor- dinate aspirations in pursuit of that iridescent, evasive, evenescent phan- tssmagoria called fame, he VII! wreck our government on the rock of his ann bitition.
 "Roosevelt will transmute this splen- did republic because his conceft is a chitecture in an egostocracy. Let us stand by the constitution, the palladium of American liberty, and guarantee to nations yet unborn the patriots with their hearts blood.
 Roosevelt is spectacular. fantastic and epileptic, and no one can foretell what his gyrations will be in the event
 Judge Parker Is safe. sane and con- servative, and under his administration this government will be vocal with the anthems of peace and redolent with the cadence of prosperity"
 Isn't it pity that such word-carpen- tering as that is being palmed off on Eastern voters as Southern oratory? That sort of rot is not argument and 1t does not appeal to the common sense of any class of people in any part of the country. Addressed to cold blood ed business men in New York, 1t Is simply superlative folly.
 We do not know who is responsible for the imposition of Wallace as a campaigner upon the uninformed managers of the bureau of speakers for the National Democratic Commit tee. Whoever he is ought to be ashamed of his own ignorance or thoughtlessness Wallace may be suit ed to fire the Southern heart out in the backwoods of Alabama, though we doubt it, but he is certainly unf1tted to reason calmly, logically and effec- lively with the average Northern voter, who Is not only intelligent, but cold, calculating and amenable to facts only. He may open his eyes wide at Wal lace's blood-and- thunder rhetoric, but his vote will not be changed If any authoritative representative of the National Committee heard Wal lace's outburst in New York, further harm will probably be prevented, but lest this may not be the case. Alabama leaders ought to protest against such a firebrand representative in the na- tional campaign. Bring him home and put him after Walker in the Fifth Dis trict; he may not cause the loss of any votes there.

The Kansas City Journal declares that the most contemptible thing in American politics Is the fusion politi- clan" We are not disposed to take is- sue with The Journal but if 1t were possible to fuse all the discordant and disreputable clements in Missouri and get them to unite in support of Wal bridge, the Republican nominee for Governor. that paper would approve the movement. While a mere fusion politician" may be contemptible, the Republican organs are not objecting to that brand if their ticket is benefited by the combination, and The Journal knows that without the help of such politicians the Republicans In Missouri have not shadow of chance. It Is one thing to preach of virtue and an- other to take advantage of vice. and the Republicans. from Roosevelt down, are good at both.

The Way to Read Books,

Atlanta ConstitutiOn.
 "A curious way to read a book was what 1 saw the other day coming up rom New Orleans, said J. T. Simp- son of Chicago. Tt was in a Pullman sleeping car, and we had a pretty good crowd of Northern bound tourists. Among them was a looking Frenchman; at least l judged he was such. On his seat 1 noticed a dozen paper back novels. Shortly after breakfast he began reading one of these at the open window by his seat AS soon as he finished a page he tore It off neatly, and threw 1t out the win dow. The books were all in French. and before we got to Atlanta he had read three. and scattered the French printed pages for hundreds of miles |"

 From an article in The Montgomery Advertiser we take some extracts. with which we fully agree and endorse. ex- cept where 1t intimates that the black belt is q better cotton region than this. We venture that an average Southeast Alabama farm or plantation will for a period of five or ten years. produce more cotton than an average one of equal area in the black belt proper.

A GROWING CANDIDATE.

The one doubt felt on all hands and expressed frequently as to Judge Park CTS candidacy in advance of the St. Louis convention was whether his per- sonality was such that he would grow upon the country if nominated. No doubt was felt as to his general ability but would he take, would he appeal more and more strongly to the think ing, conservative classes?
 Sufficient time has elapsed and the tests already applied have been such as to make every Democrat know the candidate can be depended upon to act wisely and prudently in any emergency that may now arise. He Is by his whole conduct and demeanor putting himself in sharp contrast with the tur- bulently ambitious young man at Oys- ter Bay. and at the same time he has cal wariness not to say shrewdness that will steadily strengthen the or ganization. He has large conceptions of the office he is a candidate to fill and yet as Tilden was aware, Judge Parker is aware, that in so immense a contest as a presidential election has become, there is room for the display of every talent of a trained organizer and 1t Is plain he has addressed himself to his responsibilities in an experienced and masterful way.
 Our own Judgement has been that this will largely be a peoples battle much like 1t was in 1892, when there was-an interest that lowered far above committees and campaign clubs. These however, have their logical place and we are glad to see the candidate talk ing straight hold of things and giving them a turn and direction of his own. He has grown so much that the na- tional Democracy will welcome a closer | and stronger participation by him in the struggle.
