There is no more remarkable feature
in the development of the new South
than the rapid growth of cotton manu
facturing Before the war there was
scarcely a cotton mill in the South
now there are 4S2 and they use more

During the last ten years the South
3has made much more rapid progress in
cotton manufacturing relatively than
he North has In 1SS7 Southern mills

Much surprise has been expressed
that while the price of first class bi
cycles has fallen from 100 to G5 or
75 the price of typewriters remains
the same In first hands a 100 type
writer still costs 100 The question
possesses practical interest because
there ought to be a corresponding de
crease in the price of articles manu
factured under similar circumstances
Actually the same machinery is used
is producing a large portion of the
framework the wire parts and some of
the movements of both machines
Within a year or two typewriter man
ufaeturies have been turned into bi
cycle factories with but little expense
As the bicycle demand fell off and the
typewriter demand increased the fac
tories were changed back to the origi
nal plan The same might be said of
the price of watch movements the
cost of which constitutes the principal
cost of a watch The machinery in a
watch factory can be adapted at little
cost to the manufacture of either bi
cycles or typewriters The cost of
watch movements has decreased so
that one of the best of watches can be
bought now for one half what it would
have cost ten years ago An intelli
gent person explains why the price of
the writing machines is as high now
as ever if not higher as to equal
grades It is the everlasting trust and
combination of interests among manu
facturers that keeps up the price of
typewriters The trust markets all the
standard machines and controls the
trade The trust must pay enormous
dividends That is why the cost of
typewriters is maintained at the top
notch of prices notwithstanding the
great- reduction in the cost of manu
facture
The rest of the world is in very bad

the Bank of England cany one fifth of
its reserve in silver The continent of
Europe has not yet recovered from the
adjustment of the treaty between Tur
key and Greece which is now supposed
to be finally settled That treaty is as
frankly commercial as was the agree
ment under which Egypt is now con
rrollpd Theu overwhelming debt of
Greece was the important thing in the
settlement national rights Turkish in
justice former treaties had little to do
with the matter For an indefinite
time to come Greece will be largely
ruled by a debt commission As for
France and Russia they are certainly
in a good temper towards each other
and the visit of M Faure to his imperial
ally has had more than a spectacular
importance But whether the alliance
is one that makes for peace is another
question Spain is in a turmoil with
the change of administration and no
one can tell what a week may bring
forth In Asia the seriousness of the
uprising on the northwestern borders
of the Indian empire appears not to
have been exaggerated In Africa
stories of the cruelties connected with
the administration of the Congo Free
State and the outrages on liberated
slaves continue to come in In the Pa
cific Hawaii is the center of interest
Reports from Americans living in the
islands indicate that unless the United
States takes the present opportunity
for annexation it will never have an
other Altogether the American na
tion seems to be better off than any
other if we can stand the abuse which
is just now falling upon us from all
quarters

BICYCLES CURE ASTHMA
Views of Physicians Who Have Studicu
the Subject
The value of bicycle riding for that
portion of humanity suffering from
divers ailments that may be benefited
by exercise is no longer disputed very
largely An English physician who has
made the study of bicycle riding as it
pertains to asthmatic persons the ob
ject of special research has come out
unqualifiedly in favor of the use of the
wheel
Asthma according to the generally
accepted idea may be cured or at
least relieved by exercising the res
piratory organs Asthma is known by
a great many as shortness of breath
The slightest exertion out of the or
dinary causes palpitation of the heart
and a choking half suffocated feeling
The face and head become extremely
warm and Hushed and the sensation of
extreme discomfort has a depressing
effect upon the system
Nearly all first beginners on the bicy
cle find hill climbing decidedly annoy
ing The heart throbs with each effort
of the limbs and the blood surges in
heat waves over the body Perspiration
is greatly accelerated and hill climb
ing is voted a nuisance Constant
practice however if the heart is sound
soon enables cyclists to climb ordinary
hills with a comparative degree of
comfort
It was the resemblance of the symp
toms of asthma to the trials of the hill
climber that induced the physician
who investigated the subject to experi
ment with cycle riding upon asthmatic
patients
He found first of all that bicycle rid
ing whether by invalids or by well per
sons increased the depth of breathing
without fatigue More air was taken
into the lungs to aerate the blood
Chest expansion increased slightly
The patient with asthma could not
ride very far at first without wheezing
and coughing At night he choked up
about as badly as ever Little by little
day after day this wore off and at
length after a year of moderate riding
it dawned upon him one day that he
was so much improved that a ride of
thirty or forty miles did not fatigue
him in the least Furthermore all that
disagreeable tightness over the chest
at night from which he had suffered
for years was gone
In another year he could ride fifty
miles where he had been able to ride
twenty five and without any discom
fort During the winter he rode in
doors
To day he is practically well Amer
ican physicians who have studied the
subject are inclined to agree with the
theory of the bicycle cure for asthma
At least half a dozen instances ore
cited in New York of men wbo seem
to be partially cured by the judicious
use of the wheel
In Too Much of a Hurry
It is almost as dangerous to be too
clever as to be stupid According to
Short Stories that is -what a student of
Yale College found out one day He
belonged to a chemistry class before
the members of which Prof Silliman
was going to experiment with laughing
gas
This student knew a little about the
effects of laughing gas and he explain
ed to his companions that since under
its influence no one was responsible for
his words he was going to take the op
portunity to tell Prof Silliman what
he thought of him The scheme might
have worked well but for one
seen circumstance Prof Silliman
overheard the conversation
Wlien the Professor remarked that
for the purpose of illustration he should
like to administer ithe gas to some mem
ber of the class the plotter of mischief
at once volunteered
The leather bag was connected with
his mouth and he soon appeared much
excited He began to abuse the Pro
fessor and to say many things Avlrich
he -would not have dared to say except
under cover of the peculiar circum
stances
Prof Silliman allowed him to go on
for a time and then casually remarked
that his young friend had become pre
maturely irresponsible for the gas had
not yet been turned on Only those
who have been to college and who
know how a chemistry class can ap
plaud can imagine the uproar that fol
lowed
One on the Grocer
They are telling a good story on my
friend the grocer next door The oth
er day a woman came in and said I
want two dozen hens eggs They must
all be eggs laid by black hens
The grocer said Madam I am will
ing to accommodate you but you have
got the best of me this time I dont
vknow how to tell the eggs of a black
hen from those of a speckled or white
one
Said she I can tell the difference
mighty quick
If that is so madam will you kind
ly pick out the eggs for yourself
She did so and when the two dozen
were counted into her basket the gro
cer looked at them and said suggest
ively Well madaan it seems as
though the black hens laid all the big
eggs

GENERAL PROSPERITY
During all the Hurry over the high
price of wheat and amid all the Re
publican shouting over the return of
prosperity no word was uttered about
the condition of cotton and cotton used
to be king
General prosperity is what the people
want and general prosperity is what
the Republican orators promised the
people during the last Presidential cam
paign After McKiuleys election there
was a more or less patient period of
waiting for the return of prosperity
For six mouths the people waited and
then for six months through the aid of
famine in India and short crops abroad
wheat went to a dollar a bushel and
the Republican press went crazy over
the return of prosperity
But wheat has dropped and cotton
has never risen Recently this great
staple of the South reached the lowest
price on record in London six and a
third cents per pound There is some
thing wrong with the prosperity that
affects but one of the great agricultural
products of the United States The
planters of the South are anxious to
know why Hanna and MeKinley and
Dingley do not send a little of their
vaunted prosperity below Mason and
Dixons line They consider such neg
lect rank favoritism
But the farmers of the North are be
ginning to inquire when the greait Re
publican party will send them good
prices for corn and oats These prod
ucts linger at a beggarly price and
even wheat at 75 cents a bushel on the
farm cannot convince the agriculturists
that the promises of the spellbinders
are being redeemed
The explanation of the whole matter
is that the appreciating price of gold
the money which measures the value
of all products makes a constantly de
preciating price for those products
Corn and oats and cotton and every
thing but wheat are suffering from
this injustice this year just as they
have suffered in other years and wheat
has escaped the infliction because of
special conditions existing abroad over
which the Republican party had not
and could not have the slightest con
trol Chicago Dispatch
Taxing the Plain People
The widespread injury inflicted by
the Dingley tariff in the single instance
of the sugar trust steal is not yet fully
appreciated by the people
England is the great center of the
fruit canning industry because there
is no government protected sugar trust
there In the United States taxes are
levied on sugar glass and tin the re
sult being that millions of bushels of
fruit grown by the farmers of this
country lie rotting on the ground
while the people of the United States
eat Imported preserves jams and jel
lies and send the money to pay for
them across the sea to England
The sugar interest in the United
conies out of the pockets of the people
In discussing this phase of the question
Byron W Holt an expert in regard to
tariff says When you invest a dollar
for sugar you pay about 55 cents for
sugar and 45 cents for tariff
At present out of this tax of 45
cents the government is getting about
20 cents the refiners monopoly 20
cents and the sugar growei s and
wholesale grocers the remaining 5
cents Next year when refined is
made from raw sugar upon -which pres
ent duties have been paid the govern
ment will get about 25 cents and the
sugar trust 15 of the 45 cents
The result of all this is that the sugar
trust secures a bonus of 30000000
which is just that much added to the
Durden of taxes placed upon the people
and out of which they secure not the
slightest benefit Republican legisla
tion inflicts the greatest injury upon
the masses and recognizing tiiis fact
the people should exercise their power
mil sweep the Republican party out of
existence
Loic of the Gold Clique
Republicans rejoice oer the
ry of gold in the Klondike and talk
tbout the vast benefit the increase in
he currency from ten to fifteen million
dollars a year will produce
These astute logicians fail to recog
nize the fact that in making these state
ments they admit in full the eonten
ions of bimetallists If in a small de
cree prosperity is brought about by
his insignificant increase in the supply
f money would not the benefits b
proportionately enlarged by the res
toration of some five billion dollars
worth of silver to its just estate as
standard money
Again the Republicans have gone
wild over the temporary restoration of
wheat to the price of a dollar a bushel
-a restoration brought about by spe
cial and sporadic causes which have al
ready In a certain degree ceased to
sperafe If dollar wheat for a few
months of the year 1S97 is such a good
thing why would it not be a still bel
ter thing to have dollar wheat every
jiearV
Bimetallists argue the necessity of
enlarging the supply of primary money
Gold monomfftullists admit the wisdom
if this claim when they rejoice over the
Klondike discoveries
Bimetallists claim that there can be
no general prosperity on a falling mar
ket and urge a reform that will bring
about a rise in the price of agricultural
products The gold clique has accept
ed Mae truth of this proposition in its
exploitations of dollar wheat Truly
the logic of a gold monometallist iy
fearfully and wonderfully made
Silver in India
The strongest gold advocates in En
gland are not prepared to say that the
mints of India should remain closed
against silver
There is however a determined op
position to any concessions on the part
of the British Government to the de
mands of those desirous of securing in
ternational bimetallism The United
States will do well to note the attitude
of England and to take a hint for guid
ance Great Britain asks no odds of
America and will do nothing by way
of courtesy If gold is considered good
for England and silver good for India
then England will maintain her gold
standard and India will resume the
coinage of silver This country should
manifest an equally independent spirit
International bimetallism can never be
secured by pleading Its adoption must
be made a necessity
While London newspapers are at
tacking the Government for paltering
with the bimetallic commission the
Standard confesses that the scarcity of
currency in India since the mints closed
has been a serious matter but it says
that a small committee of business
men might be appointed to settle the
question without reference to the wish
es of America or other silver mine
owners
If silver says the Standard is the
best currency for India let her have it
but no rash decision ought to be taken
without ample discussion
With like confidence the people of the
United States should say If bimet
allism is the best thing for this coun
try let us have it The time for truck
ling to the money powers of Europe has
passed The battle should be fought to
a finish here at home The hosts of the
gold clique should be vanquished and
the money of the Constitution restored
to its rightful place in the currency

mostly infants from a few hours to -few
days old actually abandoned u

Besides these there are about 2001
infants of very tender age abandons
every year by their parents to tl

itable societies organized to care f
them who are often taken by tin
mother and frequently by other per

Authorship of the British Hyjur
The authorship of the words and the
music of -God Save the Queen to the

known though the most probable con

words to John Bull made Doctor oi
Music in 1591 at Oxford The music
itself is much older but whether found
ed on a French original is still more
uncertain than the authorship of thd
words Some affirm that the worde
were written in the reign of James IL
when William of Orange was hovering
on the coast and that when the latter
became king it was a treasonable

a later period Henry Careys son laid
claim to it as a production of hi- fath
