"change" for the When the profound financiers were debating, at much length and little depth, the best method of resuming specie payments, Horace Greeley solved the problem in seven words by saying: "The way to resume is to Resume." The pessimists and croakers, lawful parents of their kind to day, predicted unbounded disaster if the dangerous experiment were tried; but it was tried, and, lo, a generation unused to the sight and teuch of hard metal, became at once familiar with silver and gold, enjoyed the novelty for a short while, rejoiced a little to be re lieved of the dirty paper frac tional currency, then regretted the absence of it as a convenient re mittance by mail, and finally ac cepted postal substitute for the latter and silver former. The Government had "re sumed" and nobody but the bank ers and speculators knew whether the dreaded experiment had been a boon or an injury to trade; but everybody knew that it was a con venient improvement on the daily and hourly fluctuations which pre vailed when our currency was de preciated. The way to do anything is to do it. The power to secure free sil ver lies with the people . The wiseacres, college profes sors and closet philosophers pon dered and maundered long and deeply over the relation of the Venezuelan question to the Mon roe Doctrine, and while they were mulling over it even before some of the profeundest had begun to expatiate on it President Cleve land decided the question by a single bold message, for which severing of the Gordian knot the addle-headed sages have not yet forgiven him. The way to check the alarming growth of the money power in r this country is to do it with the poor man's only weapon of peace the ballot. He will have a chance to do it next November, and it will be his fault alone if the op, portunity be lost. The way to have free silver is to have it; and the way to get it is to vote for Bryan and Sewall in November. COTTON IN COMMERCE. The Rev. Sam Jones is doing wbat be can to save this cam paign from 'dullness. J3avid B. Hill is too old and well trained a Democratic horse to take to balking. He ought to know better. In his charge to the grand Jury to-day Judge Boykin commented on the neat appearance of the tern pie of justice of this county and said that it reflected credit on the progressive spirit of our people and on the comforting care of our Board of County CommU sioners. Cullen & (Newman, wholesale queensware, china and medicine dealers, Knoxyille, Tenn., the largest house of the kind in the South, havft filed a deed of trust on their household goods and an assignment of their business. The liabilities will amount to over $250,000, while the assets will t)Q o"l tfcis amount. The Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury Department has issued a highly interesting series of tables under the general title of "Cotton in Commerce," intended to illus trate the part played by the fleecy i 1 . t -mm staple in we commerce and in dustry of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Ger many, Egypt and British India. The New York Journal of Com merce, in reviewing these tables, brings out their most silent fea tures. It is instructive to note that, while the yield of the crop increased 54 per cent, in the ten years from 1875 to 1885, the to tal acreage in cotton of the ten cotton-growing States increased over- 100 per cent., while in the ten years from 1885 to 1895, in which the crop increase was 84 per cent., the increase in acreage was less than 12 per cent. That is to say, while the average pro duct per acre for the season of 1884-5 was only 158 pounds it was 259 pounds for the season of 1894-5. The difference has somewhat important bearinff on the true condition1 of the South, and must ne held to operate as a partial compensation for the lower level of price. , , w The amount of domestic cotton retained for consumption last year was not greater than in!892 but it was greater than in any other country's history. The Quantity exported exceeded last year all previous recoras ny nearly 600.000.000 pounds. The percentage of exports to the total production was 69.83. The distribution of the export of raw cotton by countries for the last crop year is not yet tabultated, but of the 2, b3. 000,000 pounds exported .in 1894, 1. 393, (X) 0,000 poundswent to the United King dom. This represented nearly 78 per cent, of the whole British importation, Egypt supplying the bulk of the rest and .British maia counting: ior oniy .uuu.h 000 pounds. The fact is noted that the con sumption of cotton in the United btates is rapidly approaching that ofGreat Britain. In 1892 the figures were very nearly identi cal, being 1,523,924,000 pounds for Great Britain, against 1,521,- 356,173 for the United States. In 1893 there wad a much larger falling off here than in Great Britain, and in 1894 a still more serious reduction, against a con siderabie gain in Great Britain. The British figures for last year are not given, but those for the United States are 1,519, 431,300 pounds, so that the figures of the consumption of both countries areproba&ly not far apa; t Continental Europe has nearly trebled its consumption since 1866-70, having advanced from 653,400,000 pounds to 1,879,200, 000 pounds, and the United States have more than trebled the'r consumption, having advanced from 381,900,000 to 1,217,400,000 as the average of the four years ending with 1894. As a source of supply of the raw material, the United States occupy a more commanding po sition than they did in for years after the close of the war. Then they supplied barely half of the total of the consumption indicated; in four years, 1891 94, their average annual contribution was 78 per cent, of the whole. Egypt has come up since 1866-70 from 191,! 000,000 to 459,000,000 pounds, but the quota of the East Indies has declined from 576,500.000 to 482,400,000 and both the West Indies and Brazil are similarly of even less importance than they were twenty-five years ago. The cotton acreage of British India is only 15 per cent, less than that of the United States while its ex ports are less than onefifth of those of this country. In the sum of its cotton ex ports Great Britain still has an easy lead. Their total value does not, of course, advance: the faU in price has been tx sharp for that. In 1876 an export, of 232, 555 000 pounds of yarn showed a value of $62,204, OOOwhile for 1894 an export of 236,196,000. pounds yielded only $45,204,000. So with piece gooas; in 1876 3,669.404,- i 000 yards were valued at $245,-' 165,000 and in 1894 5,312,753,000 yards were worth only $244,410, -000. For piece goods England still finds its best market in the East Indies,. 45 per cent of the whole export goiner there.Amer ica, other than the United States, takes 14f percent, of its cotton piece goods exported, and Tur key, Egypt and Africa a similar proportion. The United States, which in 1870 took 3.18 per cent, of the total exports of British cotton piece goods, took less than 1 per cent. of them in 1894, and, against the 46,100,000 yards received from Great BriUan ia that year, the United States sent to their own manufacturers between 9,000,000 and 10,000,000 yards for con sumption in the United 1 King dom. Adding our cotton exs ports to British colonies and de pendencies, it seems probable that we sold more manufactured cotton to British buyers than we took from the mother country. s i TET MY- Cold Prinks.
