Populists would make the bul-
lion-dollar congress look like a
runt. Every man they send to
congress has a hundred isms, and
for every ism he wants an appro-
priation. The record of this ses-
sion shows that a populist majori-
ty would appropriate about
>31,000,000,000,000. The lobby
had a drunk over the deeds of the
Fifty-first congress. A populist
regime would be a debauch, in
| which the possessions of the na-
tion would be melted in the wine
of rapine.—St. Louis Republic.

Co-tton Mills in the South.
The St. Louis Republic says:
"Notwithstanding the business de-
pression fifty-eight new textile
mills have been completed in the
United States this year and t hirty-
eight others are undei; way.
Thirteen of the fifty-eight are cot-
ton mills and all but three of them
are in the South. The Southern
millS, too, are for the most part
pretty large ones. Three will
run more than 2-">,000 spindles
each. Of the thirty-eight mills
now being built twenty-two are
for cotton goods and seventeen
ol these belong to the South.
"New England formerly had
practically a monopoly of the
manufacture of cotton goods in
this country, but s' hasn't now
and will never have again.
"The South now builds three or
four cotton mills where New Eng-
land and the Middle States to-
gether put up one. One great ad-
vantage which the South has is
her freedom from strikes. The
mills of the cotton states seldom
stop work on account of troubles
suci> as the mills at New Bedford
and Fall River are now bavins'."

A YEAR
FOR THE INDUSTRIOUS.
If you want work that if pleasant and profitable,
send us your address immediately. We teach men
and women how to earn from 95.00 per day to
$:t.OOO per year without having had previous
experience, and furnish the employment at which
they can make that amount. Nothing difficult to
learn or that requires much time. The work is
easy, healthy, anil honorable, and can be done dur-
ing daytime or evenings, right in your own local-
ity, wherever you live. The result of a few
hour*' work often equals a week's wares.
We have taught thousands of both sexes and all
ages, and many have laid foundations that will
surely bring them riches. Some of the smartest
men in this country owe their success in life to
the start given them while in our employ years
ago. You, reader, may do as well; try it. You
cannot fail. No capital necessary. We fit you out
with something that is new, solid, and sure. A
lx»ok brimful of advice is free to all. Help your-
self by writing for it to-day —not to morrow.
