Local Securities

John C. Cutler, Jr. investment banker,

General trade conditions all over the
United States arc evidently progressing

business report that the demand is gradu-

The statement is made that in double

railroads, the total number OF miles to
be tracked within the next five years will
be 1878. which will take 1916 miles OF

Chenille Votes Bonds for Street I'm.
pr0vement.

By a vote of ffty-seven to
twentyeight, the necessary
three-fifths having voted in the
affirmative, the people Of Glen
vile, at a special election held
Saturday, ratified the proposed
municipal bond issue of $4,000
for street improvements. This
will, doubtless, be welcome news
to the people Of Gilmer county,
generally, who manifested quite
an interest in the outcome of the
election, and who, no doubt, are
more than glad to see the town
take this advanced position upon
this much discussed question.
The long and unnecessarily de-
ferred attempt to pull "Glenville
out of the mud" has at last as
sumed definite and tangible
shape, and the substantial re-
suits hoped to be obtained should
suffice to convince every taXpay-
er in the town of the ultimate
wisdom of the move. The Dem
ocrat ventures the assertion that
even those who opposed the
proposition from purely honest
motives will live to see a greater
and better Chenille, and that
they too will be glad that the
change took place when it did.
If the people who reside in Glen
vile do not live for and care for
their town, nobody else will, and
it can't get out of the old rut and
stand for better things too soon.

Senator Watson has introduced a
bill raising the fee an immigrant
must pay when he enters this coun.
try, from 81 90 to 500 90. This is
applying the principle of protection
to labor where it will do the most
good. If workman has to pay
tariff tax on everything he consul
mes in ord to protect the manu-
facturer from foreign competition,
why shUu i not the worklngman
also receive personal protection in
the form Of tariff tax laid upon
the immigrant who comes here to
compete tor job? Court decision
constituting the antitrust laws
with reference to labor combina-
tons seem to hold that labor in a
legal sense is a commodity, and this
being true, it has Ight to its
share Of protection so long as the
country continues under protective
policy. 1t does not seem fair to
compel workingman to sell his
labor-the on ly goods he Las to sell
in an open market in which the
labor af all Europe may compete,
and at the same time conrel him to
buy the necessaries Of life in a re-
stncted market from which all for
eign competition is barred by a tar
III tax. Senator Wat5on's bill may
be received with derislon by the
reactionary stand-pat Senator's, bat
it IS full Of elemental justice b3cl1so
1t starts the protection schem3 at
the bottom instead Of the top.
