MARVELOUS RESULTS.

Southern manufacturers and Southern statesmen are jointly proud of the progress which manufacturing industries have made of late years in that section. A recent instance of this comes up in the announcement that the cotton mills of New England have been compelled to reduce running expenses in order to meet the prices nt which Southern manufacturers •are places cotton goods on the market. With the low wages, long hours, cheap fuel, and absence of much transportation with which the southern cotton mills are blessed, tli ey are able to make cotton goods of all grades at a very low cost, and it is because of this fact that the Now England manufacturers have been compelled to reduce wages in this single industry, although the manufacturers in many other lines are increasing wages as a result of the new tariff law now upon the statute books.

The “Patriots of America,” whose patriotism seems to run exdnsively to socialism, single tax, irr dcj*mable paper currency, free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, and a few other dangerous doctrines of this sort, are to vote in their “lodges” next month on a series of propositions as possible national issues for the next national political campaign. These fads, which have been presented them by the \ “Coin” Harvey and other patriots bead this organization, include all of the propositions mentioned above, and a number of others of like character, and are another evidence of the fact that the men who ’“worked” the free-silver proposition in 1896 are beginning to feel the need of a new issue in order to hold their followers together. It is a mean thing to say, but somebody at Washington has trotted out the fact that the circulation of money in the United States since the day of Mr. Bryan’s nomination has increased more than double the entire amount of the money of the Republic of Mexico, - which is just now -welcoming William J. as the greatest financier of the age. It will be remembered that Mr. Bryan in his speeches at the Chicago convention and during the camprign insisted that the currency of the country could not increase without the adoption of free coinage of silver, yet it has increased in the 17 months since that nomination by a sum double the entire money of the country in whic|i lie is now being received with sucli honors.
