J. G. RANKIN, Proprietor.
Sunday Morning, April 1G.
Thk United Htates still have 2.835,-
7 )7 square miles of public land.
Kgyi'Tian cotton is to be introduc-
ed iuto the Southern States.
Thk industrial outlook in England
appears to be gradually growing worse.
The transmission of written speech
by wire is the latest feat of the elec-
trician.
Last year nearly four hundred ap-
plications for patents were made by
women.
The Philadelphia mint has 200,000,-
ooo dollars in silver coin and bullion in
its vaults.
Deaths in the City of New York
have averaged over a thousand per
week during the past month.
The Atlanta Constitution states
that Georgia is looming up as the
State which, knowing its rights, dares
maintain them.
It now appears that the franchises
covering the most important parts of
(he telephone patents do not expire
until July 1894.
It is a singular kind of protection to
home manufacturers which invites in-
creased importation, and at the same
time lessens cost to consumers.
The lavish practice of nepotism by
Land Commissioner McGaughey ap-
pears to have been the cause of all his
troubles. His son John did it.
The great majority of the members
of the present Texas legislature have
become conspicuous only for the regu-
larity with which they draw their sal-
aries.
COLD AND 8ILVER.
No well informed person questions
that gold and silver possess an in-
trinsic value, says the Cincinnati En-
| quirer. They are products of indus-
try, and possess a real and substantial
value as commodities. They are use-
ful for various purposes, and possess
qualities which do not belong in equal
measure or degree to any other sub-
stances. They owe their chief value
to their fitness for the purposes of a
circulating medium, or being ex-
changeable for other commodities. If
they were not used as a medium of ex-
change, they would retain a share of
their value for the purposes of being
converted into plate and other objects
of utility and ornament, and their
value would be determined by the
cost of the production. Why gold and
silver have been universally adopted
iu all the ages as the instrument em-
ployed in effecting the exchanges of
all others commodities cannot proba-
bly be fully determined. Probably
the following are the principal reasons:
They vary in their value less during
a series of years than any other com-
modities, and are therefore better
adapted to satisfy contracts and obliga-
tions payable at a future day. They
more uniform than other commodities.
They possess a greater value in
small bulk, and are portable.
They can be divided into pieces of any
weight, and of exact quantities, and
portunity is still ripe, for cotton
manufacturing in the south is still
feeling Its way feebly when compared
with the development of the industry
in sections more favored by capital
and experience.
In the face of these things. It ven
tures to reiterate the prediction. We
are nearer to its fulfillment by fifteen
years, a lapse of time that is not a
quarter of an hour in the history of a
nation's development. It is inevit-
able that the cotton grown in the
south should be manufactured (within
sight and hearing of the cotton planta-
tions. The circumstances that de-
mand it are as inexorable in their
action as the laws of nature. They
work slowly but none the less surely.
This generation nor the next may
not see the fulfillment, but that is no
reason why they should not work to
lurther the movement. They may
contribute to it very materially. It is
10 be seen wherever a new mill is set
up, wherever a new spindle is added.
It is a movement that will have back
sets. It will be accompanied by
failures, and those who have expecta-
tion in their eyes will lose hope. But
;he movement will go on until the en-
tire crop of southern cotton, no matter
how large it may grow to be, will be
spun and woven in the region where
it is grown.

In the matter of the allotment of of-
fices Mr. Cleveland seems to be fully
iu sympathy with the demands ot the
people, as against the pleadings of the
professional politician.
The democratic party should redeem
every pledge made the country in its
platform, and that too without any
seeming unnecessary delay. Justice
truth and honesty demand it.
The almost certainty of the United
States receiving a visitation from chol-
era this year makes one almost shud-
der at the idea of attending the great
World's fair at Chicago.

It is worthy of mention that a mark-
ed improvement is noticeable in the
eslastic condition and tendency of the
revenues of the government under a
democratic administration.
With all values measured by the
gold standard, which is constantly ap-
preciating—constantly growing dearer
—it is only a question of time when
the prosperity of the country will be
entirely destroyed.
Although the Texas railroad com-
missioners now have absolutely noth-
ing to do, they are said to draw their
salaries with seeming regularity.
That's what the average typo would
call a "phat take."
Commerce being an exchange of the
products of one country for those of an-
other, the fewer the restraints and
limitation to the operations of the nat-
ural laws of trade the better for those
engaged in their production.
President Cleveland has shown
a disposition to occasionally look be-
yond the democrats who are seeking
office, and make his own selection,
and the appointments thus made have
generally been very satisfactory to the
party and the country.
Mr. Cleveland is demonstrating
every day that he has much clearer
conceptions of party policy than those
who have been inferentially urging
him to use his power and influence to
reward those who were in favor of his
nomination and to punish those who
opposed his nomination, but who sup-
ported him with the utmost enthusi-
asm after he was made the party's
candidate. It is, indeed, a fact full of
significance that the president has
given those about him to understand
that the policy of the party is of more
importance than any man's personali-
ty. He has his likes and his dislikes
and we presume he has his prejudices'
out his course, thus far ia his second
administration, shows that he has very
broad views as to the methods that
should be employed in emphasizing
the necessity of party harmony, and
toi extending the party's influence.
This ib not an easy thing to do and a
small man would inevitably succumb
to the promptings of human nature.

the sovereign power in a Government
to establish their relative exchange-
able value. Government can say that
3711 grains of silver shall be the
equivalent in its purchasing and debt-
paying power within its jurisdiction
to 25 8-10 grains of gold. But Govern-
ment cannot declare that sixteen
ounces of silver shall possess the same
commodity value of one ounce of gold
Their ratio is constantly changing
and no human power can prevent it.
There is no immutable relation be^
tween silver and gold, and their rel
ative intrinsic value as commodities
can never be fixed. A legal tender
money of two metals based upon com-
modity value is an absurdity. If
then, we are to have but one legal
tender metalio measure or standard of
value, which shall it be, silver
gold?
We say without hesitation silver of
course, for the following among many
reasons: The founders of the Govern-
ment adopted the silver dollar as the
measuring unit of all values, mclud-
ing gold. It should be the pride anc
boast of the American people to stauc
fast by the institutions of the fathers
of the Republic, that no injustice
should be done to either debtor or
creditor by changing the standards of
value.

COTTON MILLS IN THE SOUTH.
When the Atlanta Constitution pre-
dicted some years ago that the south
would become the site and center of
cotton manufacturing, it found it
difficult to explain, in the discussion
that followed, that such changes, af-
fecting the social and business condi-
tions of a continent, do not take place
in a day nor even in a generation.
They belong to movements that are
altogether imperceptible to ordinary
observers, and can only be measured
and compared at the close of eras of
development.
The prediction of The Constitution
was made more than ten years ago
and was a part of its comment on the
great cotton exposition held in
Atlanta. Those who mifht desire to
spend an idle moment laughing at the
futility ol newspaper prophecy have
had ample opportunity since that
time to enjoy themselves, and the op-1
