The South is entering upon the most active ond stirring period in its busiV nesslife. Tho tide of population, in dustry and capital is Retting this xvajl From the North and Kojthwest, hoi simply .thousands, bat tens of thon Hands of farmers are already on tbe southward move, or - only waiting to close up their business affairs to start The world's next great population mo'vement will be southward. Tho cotton industry, in which there isabout $100,000,000 iuvefcted in this country, and several times as much in oth?r lands, is now" on! the march southward. Una change means that the conth, with unequaled natural advantages for cotr ton manufacturing, backed by the cap ital of New England, ic going to be come the world's textile-mannfactur-irg center. Following cotton will come many other industries. "With the passing away of the depression in iron, which must come within the next year 6 r so, the South's iron aud steel interests will command fully 'as much 'attention as cotton is now receiving, f i The Northern truck-farmer is divid ing space with the native cot ton -grower, and the vineyard is springiug np alongside. The textile-worker jourt neys southward in the same car witu the iron-molder, while capital from the North and West is carried down to be invested in phosphate and cotton-oil industries. Mechanic, machinists and liimbernien are finding new homes', and tradespeople follow them with their wares. New towns are springing up, and old onesnregiowingintocitiesj, and cities are gaining in population! The South is unquestionably growing, and it is sale to assert that -nearly twice ns many people are moving thither rrpin tho. North ni-d West today as there .were five years ago. . . " All this means activity, life, stir,; hustle and doubtless the inevitable re milt 1 loom, f ALat the South saw a few years Yigd fh, town-lot speculation; was a fortunate lesson, for it will af-! fonl needed , experience in avoiding the danger of a speculative excitement" jn he period of phenomenal development upon which we are now entering. In u year or two there will be move need to caution against unwise investments than to urge people to press the work -v-U-ul Mseirtj n t ; in. m Ir'-Re &Tfro UraTf great care in selecting good locations for factories and good rjen to manage them than to urge the building of facr tories; more need to advise investors to look carefully into every contem- plated purchase than to advise them to invest . The West in its palmiest clays of advancement of growth in popu lation and wealth, of increase in values never kiw a period of such solid, permanent and amazing progress as ihe South has before it in the not very distant future.

W Hardy, Ark BE ON YOUR GUARD. the Program of the Money Lendl rs Foreign League. (New York Recorder.) The Carlisle currency bill has betn withdrawn, and a substitute has hern offered in its place which is not sure to pass the house, and can not possibly pass the senate. But the discussion of it will not be a waste of time. lt j embodies, crudely, to be sure, ,and not i to the satisiaction of the banks, tho main ieatures 01 ,tne currency pro gram which the national ' bank jower has determined to force upon this country if it can. Briefly stated, .that program is this:, To substitute' a bjmk note currency, to be expanded, contracted and gener ally manipulated by the banks, for the government's own paper currency, is sued in the .nation's name and regu-, lated by the nation's representatives, in congress assembled. This is the culminating aggression of the mighty bank power that has been built just like that of Great Britain on the foundation furnished by our immense war debt. In' I860' the whole public debt was but 05,000,000, and in 1836 itwas but 37,513. The government's creditors prior to the war had but little to do, if anything; m shaping its hnancial pol icy, i The war came, and by the year l$t56 the public debt amounted in round, numbers to $2,700,000,000. At once the national creditors became a powerful and influential class. They were the first people to discover that our circu lating medium and all the government issues should be made payable in gold. They insisted that the principal and the interest of their bonds should be paid in gold, and it was done. From that hour there has been a continuous light by the wealthy moneylenders, mortgage holding classes of our own and foreign countries, where our bonds and securities have gone, to have all bills of credit, both public and private, made payable in gold. Thus a persistent pressure has been exerted by. the International Usurers' league to enhance the price of gold coin, decrease the volume of our currency, and increase the indebtedness of our people. The Cleveland administration has been from the start, and is to-day, the political creature and cat's paw of the International Usurers' league. It was in the interest of that combine of money lenders that it first discredited silver and closed our silver mines, and it is in its interest that it is now try ing to crowd a bank note inflation bill down the throat of congress. The ulterior purpose of that bill is to force the retirement of all the legal tenders, compel other and larger gold bond is sues and transfer the entire power of issuing money from the people's con gress to the'parlors of the banks. ! y U.S. J li.J OUR The Spaces in the Circles Show the United States as Compared With all Favor of More Money Per Capita NATIONAL CIRCUS. CONGRESS TRYING HARD PLEASE ITS MASTERS. TO Mrs. Annie Digcs Feels Like Waking Them Up Would tike to See a Real Woman in the White House. Correspondence, Topeka Advocate. ' Plutocratic pirates and gold bucca neers have full control of our once glorious ship of state. The few con gressmen who have consciences and souls are perfectly helpless in the clutch of these high handed usurpers. It will never be different. The general public will never be served "by the national congress until the two old party machines are broken, and a new element gains control; a new party which will come into power for the ex press purpose of serving the people in stead of the plunderers. There isn't the slightest use in look ing to congress for anything save that which will enhance the -fortunes of the greedy gluttons of fortune. It is a fore gone conclusion that whatever legisla tion gets through this session will be such as will please the privileged class. i'h i stat a vtf ntraird i- tun trvftfl T,nai It IS of little interest even to watch the gyra tions anl listen to the vaporings of the honorables while making grave pre tense of serving their country. The currency bill is under discussion in the "house to-day. There was a comical performance going on when I entered the gallery. A big republican fellow from down east was reading his speech in thunderous tones, and it was so evident that he was making that speech to his constituents that no one in the house was listening. I think he must have been trying to "holler ' lbud enough for his down east neigh bors to hear him. He stood first on one foot and then on the other, thrust his hands into his trousers pockets while reading a page of his speech, which was bolstered up be fere him on a pile of books. Every few minutes his voice would tie up into a shrill sort of a yell, in order, I suppose, to give extra emphasis to the profound stuff he was getting off on the money ques tion. Here is one sentence which this orator shrilled out in extra high pitch: "Would 1 retire the greenbacks? Yes, I would.", , The old chump! I wanted to throw something at him. If I could have i aimed straight at that rjile of books which supported the dreary stuff he was reciting to a suffering house, 1 would have been tempted to throw and risk arrest by the sergent-at-arms. Retire the greenbacks indeed! What for, I would like to know? Is it be cause they are the best money a nation or people ever hand? Is it because they carried the country through a terrible war? Is it because they are connected with the memories of Abra ham Lincoln's administration? Ah! what patriots these latter day repub Iicans are. I stood all of this rattling idiocy that was possible without becoming un amiable, then departed for the senate. The show was different there, but quite as farcical. Another down easter (this one a democrat) was reading his oration on tjie Nicaragua canal bond steal. Of course, he was in favor of it, but his speech was in lovely contrast to tho orator at the other end of the capitol. The senator was spick and span just out of a band box, as to dress. He handled his gold eye-glasses dextrously, and spoke in modulated tones. Nobody was interested, of course. There was not a dozen sena- tors hi the chamber. Merciful neaven! what is a woman made of who can be so heartless and selfish with such boundless opportu nity and means to bless and brighten other lives that the President's wife has at her command?
