There is a reason for this, especially since gunpowder came into vogue as the great destrustive war agency. Nitrates are an important constituent of gunpowder.

The reco d is one which every Southerner will read with pride and every other American should rejoice iu. We can take only a few of the most striking passages "in that record. The South produced 535,012.000 bushels of corn in 1891, a gaii ot about 75 per cent, over the productior in 1881. The gain in cotton productior was about the same, from 5,456,000 balef in 1881 to nearly 9,000,000 bales las' year. The gaiu in railroads is even mor< remarkable. Ten years ago the Bout! had 23,000 miles of railroad; now it hai about 45,000, a gain of nearly 90 pei cent , and the increase in the number o passengers and the amount of freight car ried has been enormous. Between 23, 000,000 and 24,000,000 tons of coal wen mined in the South in 1891, only abou 9,000,00') in 1881. The value of export: from Southern ports has increased from $257,535,401 to $349,801,099, a gain ol 30 per cent., which is nearly five times the gain made at the other ports of th< United Stntes. The Southern output oi iron is nearly 325 per cent, greater that in 1881.

I believe that the time t has come to nationalize our money. We took on<* long step in that direction when 1 we adopted our national banking sys tern. We taxed State bank notes out of existence, substituted a national currency r for a purely local currency; and it was - only a short time after embarking in this t new enterpiise until jse discovered that f the bankers of the count*-" wcr* masters of the financial situation.

That puts the influence, the credit, and the power of all the people behind the money. Then we will have gold and silver and paper . at par, one with the other; and that, if ^ we will reduce rates of interest down to the level of profit on labor, so that men j can make as much money farming or s blscksmithing or carpentering as they r cau by lending money, will give us a f safe currency, a sound financis' system, and no more money panics. ?.? + ; * + f> ?

Hogg is a little ahead; but he is not likely to get the necessary two-thirds of the 945 delegates. Possibly there may be a dead lock, to be broken only by the nomination of a third man. This vear's Presidential canvass is, in point of activity, much behind tho record of previous yeats, on the democratic us well as on the Republican side. 1 l>o leaders of both parties aro slow in beginning the real work of the campaign. The same condition of things is reported i:: other States. It is against the traditions of the Ko publican pkfty to renominate Vice Pres. ideate. "The old ticket" is a cry which hsi no stt sctien for the Republicans. Lincoln and Hamlin was .a winning ticket in 1800, but when President Lincoln was renominated in 1894, Hamlin was left off. Grant and Colfax was the wiuning ticket in 1808, but when President Grant rr no cuuiuhmhch linn j cn? n laioi , v"i* fa* was left off of the ticket. Harrison and Moiton whs a winning ticket in 1888, but after President Harrison was renominated in Minneapolis, Morton was left off. The Republicans found Harrison to be strong with the interest for which Mr. Morton stood four years ago,and hence the renominatiou of the latter was not thought essential. The only Democrat in recent Sears to be icuominatcd for Vice-Pratient was Thomas A. Hendricks, who ran in 1876 and again in 1884, , _ ?, i/tin m.
