. Opportunities k the South. No portion of the United States luis made greater progress in •he past year or two than the South. Northern and foreign capital is rapidly invading that section, finding profitable investment in the various indusiries and factories that are being rapidly developed and built. The great influx of settlers is creating an increased demand for lands of all kinds, and prices are gradually advancing, as they will for years lo come. Work is plentiful and poverty practically unknown. Alabama is supplying coal and won to all the world. More money cars be - made and with less labor in the raising of small fruits and berries and in truck patching along the Gulf Coast than in any other state in the Union. Strawberries from Alabama reach Northern markets before those from the states in •he southeast. Cattle can be raised with great profit, there being millions of acres of cheap range lands. If you are interested in the south and its resources and desire information on any subjects address G. A. PARK, General Industrial and Immigration Agent, tOQtSVILLE X NASHVILLE RAILROAD, LOUISVILLE, ICY.

POLITICS OF THE DAY

The Invisible Balance of Trade. Statistic* of the Brooklyn bridge show that an average of about 20,000 more people cross into New York each day, than cross back to Brooklyn. These statistics Indicate that Brooklyn is losing and New York gaining In population at the rate of 7,000,000,000 a year. Sensible men know that there is no such daily balance of population in favor of or ngainst New York according to whichever political theory you accept. Somehow and in some way, about as many people re turn to Brooklyn dally as leave it. Similarly, Republicans are prating about the great "balance of trade” in our-favor, amounting to from $400,000,000 to $000,000,000 a year for six years, and are attempting to make the people believe that It is a good thing to he sending out of the country each year this much more than is being brought in. Sensible men shake their heads and refuse to swallow these fig ures. The trade and commercial pa|H*rs, like the iron Age and the New York Commercial, are now discussing the "Invisible Balance of Trade,” which punctures both the facts and theories of the politicians. The following table Is front the Iron Age of Pel). 2<>: Invisible (adverse) balance of trade: Interest balance $90,000,000 Ocean freight balance....'.. 8,>,000.000 Tourists’ expenditures .">5,000,000 Expatriation 30,000,000 Bent balance a 25,01)0,000 Money sent by resident fmeigners 10,000,000 Total $295,000,000 As tin* iron Age says, tills table ‘‘shows that the invisible balance of trade must run along annually at not much less than $300,000,000 to enable this country to discharge its foreign liabilities. The return, last year, of $100,000,000 of American securities held abroad wiped out all of the remaining visible balance of trade in 1902, says tlic* Iron Age, which concludes that ‘the United States is still a debtor nation." At least two very important factors have been omitted by the Iron Ago. Our imports of dutiable goods amount to $500,000,000 a year. These are undervalued to nlHMit 10 per cent or $50,000,000. We export manufactured goods valued at more than $400,000,000 a year. As these goods are sold to foreigners at an average of about 20 per cent below domestic prices the manufacturers quote fictitious valuations to government officials. It is safe to say that our exports of manufacturers npo overvalued 10 or 15 per cent, or an average of $50,000,000 a year. Adding those two amounts to our invisible nud adverse balance, we have wiped out nearly all of ttie invisible balance in our favor even during the laat six years. Undoubtedly the return of securities during these years has wiped out any remaining balance. This reaches the sensible conclusion that we have not outstanding accounts with foreign countries amounting to $2,000,000,000 or $3,000,000,000, hut that in some way each year's apparent balance is abtfut squared. While we may bo slowly paying our foreign debts, yet It take* more than $100,(XX),000 n year to pay interest and rents to foreigners. Thus, if the Invisible balance of trade is mh $100,000,000 in our favor we are loslnjf ground and getting deeper In debt.--Byron W. Holt. Amutear Diplomacy. The Republic of Argentine has asked President Roosevelt whether he adheres to his statement about the forcible collection of debts from those roc publics of this continent who have become delinquents. In reply the President very promptly backs down from ills Interpretation of the Monroe doctrine in the Venezuela case, probably having discovered that the people of the.. United States would not countenance the outrageous attack that Germany and England made upon the Venezuelan republic. President Roosevelt in liis reply to Argentine says: “The government would always be glad to see the question of the Justice of claims by one State against another growing out of individual wrongs, qr national obligations, as well an the guarantees for the execution qf awards,” left to arbitration. In the note to Argentine there is the theory of wrong and reparation and no longer indorsement of his former idea of the forcible collection of a debt. The President has doubtless discovered that giving the old world kings and emperors free rein to collect their bnd debts from our sister republics was an interpretation of the Monroe doctrine that would certainly lead to its abrogation or n light to enforce It. Men of the President's erratic nature make poor diplomats and we are fortunate as a nation that we have crawled out of the Venezuela trouble without greater complications. Congreaa and the Trust*. When Congress is engaged In passing a real, genuine anti-trust ••till the prices of stocks In Wall street will not continue to rise as they did during the passage of the Elkins and Nelson anti-trust laws last January and February. Hud Congress then been engaged In putting the products of trusts on tho free list, Wall street would have been flooded with the water that (would have squeezed out of tJbess

trusts. The sloe* managers of these trusts know full well that the major portion of their profits would vanish if the tariff were removed. They would then be compelled to sell goods at home at the low prices which they now charge foreigners. They will run fust when they see free trade in trust products coming; but they only smile at sham anti-trust legislation. Congress cannot at one and the same time serve both God and Mammon. It had to choose between the people and the trusts, and it took up with the trusts. Government by Injunction. <)ranting an Injunction ngainst. the employes of the Wabash Railroad because a strike is threatened is certainly beyond all precedent. It only remains for some Federal Judge to enjoin all the labor organizations in tiie United States, on the general principle that they may think of striking some time in tiie future. There Is one striking peculiarity about these Federal Judges—they are always ready and witting to net favorably when the corporations present an ex parte case to them. Tiie only evidence upon which the injunction was granted in tiie Wabash case at St. Louis was a letter threatening damage to the property of the railroad. It has since been discovered that the letter was written by a spy or paid emissary in the labor ranks, and the Judge has been asked to dissolve tiie injunction. -But In all probability he will not do so, as the railroad company will demand that the injunction be’continued. Organized labor should note the fact that until a President is elected who believes corporations have no greater rights than their employes, these appointments will always go to attorneys who are friends of the corporations. If a majority of the United States Senate was controlled by the people, instead of the corporations, the appointment of such judges would not be confirmed. These are two strong reasona why organized labor should unite to elect a President who, beyond all question, believes in “equal rights to all and special privileges to none.” Aiao labor must unite on candidates for tha legislature who will vote to elect United States Senators who are friende of the people instead of trust magnates and corporation attorneys. As long as the corporations control a majority of the United States Senate no law curtailing government by injunction can parts that body. Suicide* and Prosperity. One of'the many peculiar and inexplicable features of our present unparalleled prosperity, which is enriching thousands and impoverishing millions, is the great increase in the number of suicides under it. Apparently the farther we get into this trust-monopoly prosperity the more people there are who cannot stand the pace and who fall by the wayside, often by their owu hands. While the number of suicides Is probably on the increase in other cities as well ns in the country at large, yet we have figures only for Chicago. The Record-llerald of March 13 says that there were 350 suicides there in 1900, 399 in 1901 and 439 in 1902. That this rapid increase is now being kept up is evident from the fact that there were 75 suicides In January and February and that on the first Sunday in March nine persons in one day took this route to eternity. Two Steal* Blocked. We have something to be thankful for to the late Congress for what it did not do. It might have passed the ship-subsidy steal, for about all the Republican lenders favored it, but three members of tiie committee on merchant marine, in conjunction with the Democrats, refused to report the bill. It will he renumbered, however, that all the Republican Senators but three or four vated for it when it passed the Senate. Then the Aldrich hill to legalize tbs loaning to the hanks of the surplus in the treasury, and for-other purposes, failed to pass, nud for this the Democrats are responsible, so that, after all, the Republicans, though they dictated the legislation that did pass, are not the ones to thauk for these favors For all of which we are truly thankful A Real Benefit. The only real benefit the people hive received at the hands of the late Congress is the repeal of the duty on coal, and that was forced on the unwilling Republicans by such a popular uprising that it could not he denied, nud which was voiced in the United States Senate by Senator Vest, who for twenty-four years has been cne of the tribunes of the people in that body. Easily Paid. It is reported from St. Paul that ihe Standard Oil trust, on losing a local suit suit for damages to tiie amount of SHMXX) on account^ of injuries caused by gasoline, at once advanced the price, and in nine days collected from the local public enough extra to pay all the costs. Here we have publicity, but not necessarily tiie preventive.— Springfield Republican. We canont always oblige, hut \»e can always speak obligingly.—Voltalm

FENIAN FLAG AS A RELIC

One Carried Into Canada Presented to Buffalo Historical Society. A faded green silk flag, with one corner torn into ribbons, has been placed In the collection of the Buffalo Historical Society. It is a relic of the Fenian invaders who crossed into Canada from Buffalo on the night of May 21,18015, and who had to comeback a few days later, after having thrown Canada into a spasm of terror. Tills flag went through what is known as the battle of Ridgeway, which village is now more familiar to Buffalonians as tiie town back of Crystal beach. The flag was formally presented to the Historical Society by James McElroy, in wliosfi family it had been for a long time, and by D. E. Mahoney. The exercises were held in the society’s lecture room. About 200 persons were present. President Andrew Langdon, in response to a few remarks made by Mr. Mahoney, said he was reminded of an incident that came under his 'observation while in the office of the president of a large New York bank. “It was during a political campaign and one of the other officers, coming into the room hung up the portrait of one of the candidates," lie said, “The president immediately said: ‘Take that down, We have no politics here.’ It's the same way with us. We accept relics whether we approve of them or not and we accept the flag for its historical interest.” The flag, which was carried by the Buffalonians who took part in the invasion, is nine feet long and six feet wide. In the upper left-hand corner a golden sunburst was once painted on the background of green silk, but its outlines were destroyed by a Canadian ball tliat tore through the flag at the battle of Ridgeway. That portion of the flag is merely a collection of tatters now. Running in a line slanting upward and that begins beneath the sunburst are tlw> following words in golden letters: “Buffalo, Seventh Regiment, Irish Army of Liberation.” Beneath this is the following inscription placed on the flag after the Fenians had returned from Canada: “Ridgeway and Fort Erie, Juno 2, ISHO.” Occupying tiie center of the right-hand half of tiie flag is the following, also, in golden letters: “Presented by the Fenian Sisterhood of Buffalo, May 0, 18*5(5.” Part of this lettering is torn, tiie result of a bullet. The flag was carried to Fort Erie, Ontario, with the 900 Fenians who took part in the invasion, says the Buffalo Express. After having driven tho Canadian militia near Ridgeway to retreat and then having to retreat themselves before a body of Canadian regulars the Fenians hurried back to Fort Erie. While trying to cross the river the Fenians were arrested by American forces. Later they were released. The United States government authorities returned the torn flag to the local Fenian organization.

HER SOURCE OF WEALTH.

W hat the Investigations of an Inquiring Teacher Brought to Light. The teacher who had charge of the playroom at recess consulted her watch and found that there were still five minutes in which to cultivate the acquaintance of the odd little group of girls who stood apart from the devotees of “rlng-a-rosy” and “jaekstones” and gossiped among themselves with as keen a sense of enjoyment as might have been experienced by their mothers had they been similarly employed. Her interest deepened to amusement when she found that the topic under discussion was tiie comparative riches of their respective parents. Olga, whose clear pink and white complexion bespoke her German origin, was presenting a strong claim for first place as class plutocrat. With swelling voice she told how she had $34.83 in the bank in her own name. Furthermore, her mother had never withdrawn one cent since she had first begun to deposit. With level accents she asked:' “How could my mother do that, yet, if we were not rich, once?” Neither of her opponents were prepared to offer any opposition to her claim, but Rita proceeded to boom the stock of her own family. “I don't know," she said (with more energy than grammar), “if wo are as rich as youse, but my father owns three lots in Jersey and my brother’s got a good job down in the courthouse.” As this piece of information was impartially distributed tho face of Annie was illumined by a light from within. She was the sole member of the group who had as yet furnished no verbal assurance of prosperity; and, looking at her ill-clad form and thin little face, the teacher found herself wondering on what possible score Annie could claim kinship with her purse-proud friends. Apparently Annie’s clew hnd been furnished by Rita when she boasted of her brother’s “good Job In the courthouse,” for she spoke exultantly: “Oh, you ain’t the only one. My papa’s got an awful good job in the courthouse, too.” “Why. Annie,” said the teacher, noting afresh the child's evident poverty. “What does your papa do In the courthouse?” Annie met the teacher's gaze with eyes singularly truthful and confiding. "I don’t know just what he does, teacher,” she returned, "but he stole $8 off a lady, an’ she got him a Job in the courthouse for six months.” With a sudden tightening of the muscles of the throat the teacher realized that ia this Instance the county courthouse and the county Jail were under one roof.—New York Times.

MRS. RATH’S BABY Tired Mother’s Touching Story of Anxiety and Suffering. Cuticura Brings Blessed Cure to Skin Tortured Baby and Peace and Reat to Its Worn Out Mother. It is no wonder that Mrs. Helena Rath was taken sick. Single-handed, she did all the housework and washed, cooked and mended for her husband, Hans, and their six children. After a plucky fight to keep on her feet, Mrs. Rath had to yield, and early in 1902 she took to her bed. What followed she told to a visitor, who called at her tidy home, No. 821 Tenth Ave., New York City.

“ I hired a girl to mind the children and to ao whatever else aho could. X couldn’t stay in bed long. Sick aa I was, it was easier for me to crawl around than to lie and worry about my little ones. So I got up after a few days, and let the girl go. I had noticed that she had sores on her face, hands and arms, but I paid no attention to that until Charlie, my youngest, began to pick and scratch himself. He was then ten months old, and the girl had paid more attention to him than to any of the others. Charlie was fretful and cross, but as he was cutting teeth, X didn’t think much of that. Even when a rash broke out on his face I wasn’t frightened, because everybody knows that that is quite common wit}) teething babies. Several of my Others had it when little, and I thought nothing about it. “ But the rash on Charlie’s poor little face spread to his neck, chest, and back. I had never seen anything quite like it before. The skin rose in little lumps, and matter came out. My baby’s skin was hot, and how he did suffer 1 He wouldn’t eat, and night after night I walked the floor with him, woxk as I was. Often I had to stop because I felt faint and my back throbbed with pain. But the worst pain of all was to see my poor little boy burning with those nasty sores. "I believed he had caught some disease from the girl, but some of the neighbors said he had eczema, and that is not catching, they told ma. Yes, I gave him medicine, and Sut salves and things on him. I on’t think they were ah usqless. Once in a while the itching seemed to let np a bit, but there was not much change for the better until a lady across the street asked me why I didn’t try the Cuticura Remedies. I told her I had no faith in those things you read about in the papers. She said she didn't want me to go Oh faith nor even to spend any money at first. She gave me some Cuticura Ointment—l think the box was about half full —and a piece of Cuticura Soap. I followed

The agonizing, itching, and burning of the skin as in eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair, and crusting of the scalp, as in scalled head; the facial disfigurements, as in pimples and ringworm; the awful suffering of infants, and anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tetter and salt rheum,—all demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness, the potvpr to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy have made them the standard skin cures, blood purifiers and humour remedies of the civilized world.

the directions, bathing Charlie and putting that nice Ointment on the sores. “ I wouldn’t have believed that my baby would have been cured by a little thing like that. Not all of a sudden, mind you. Little by Httle, but so surely. Charlie and I both got more peace by day, and more sleep by night. The sores sort of dried up and went away. I shall never forget one blessed night when I went to bed with Charlie beside me, as soon as I got the supper dishes out of the way and the older children undressed; when I woke up the sun was streaming in. For the first time in six months I had 6lept through the night without • break. “ Yes, that fat little boy by the window is Charlie, and his skin is as white as a snow Hake, thanks to the Cuticura Remedies. I think everybody should know about the Soap and also the Ointment, and if it is going to help other mothers with sick babies, go ahead and publish what I have told you.” MRS. HELENA RATH.
