IIOW TO GET CAPITAL.
The Old Fable of Hercnlcs and the
Wagoner.
Si. Louis Republican.
It is an universal belief in the South?
ern States that the tiling they most need
is capital: The people of those States are
incessantly telling tlie world about their
exhaustless stores of rudimentary wealth,
and of the marvelous facility with which
it can be worked up into actual, availa?
ble wealth ; they have a great deal to say
about the amount of low middling cotton
at 14 cents a pound that can be raised on
an acre of their bottom lauds, and of the
amount of wheat that can be produced ou
their uplands;. they boast that this cotton
can be manufactured into yarns and cloth
by means of ample water power in sight
of the fields where it is raised, far more
cheaply than it can be manufactured in
New England; they tell us?and they
prove the assertion?that pig iron can be
made at Birmingham, Alabama, at Chat?
tanooga, Tennessee, or at Home, Georgia,
$S a ton cheaper than in Ohio and Penn?
sylvania; they point with pardonablo
pride to the fact that the cotton mills at
Augusta, Georgia, and Graniteville,
South Carolina, are working steadily
along, and making good profits through
the present depression of trade, while
those of Massachusetts and New Hamp?
shire are running at half time, and losing
money at'that; and they declare that the
mildness of their climate, and the greater
cheapness of raw materials, labor and liv?
ing with them demonstrate the superior
manafacturing advantages of their region
over the Northwest, where the laborer's
family have to live on a Winter footing
half the year. It is impossible to deny
these statements, and, indeed, nobody at?
tempts to deny them ; the world admits
them.. Still, the capital which the fas?
cinating picture is intended to invite
does not come; Boston money clings to
the granite ribs of New England, and re?
fuses to migrate to Georgia where it can
earn 10 to 15 per cent, more per annum ;
every foot of Massachusetts water power
is harnessed to machinery, while that of
the Chattahoochee and James runs to
waste; and the iron mongers of Pennsyl?
vania continue to buy ore for $1 a ton and
make it into iron at $14 a ton. The peo?
ple of the South have tried agaiu and
again to understand this mystery, with?
out success, and they seem to have Bet
tied down into the belief that capital, la
borand trade in the North are too blind to
take advantages of the opportunities that
the South presents. But the matter is
not so difficult of comprehension after all.
It is the people of the South, not the cap?
italists of the North who do not ap?
preciate these boasted advantages. If
there are such superior facilities for man?
ufacturing in Georgia and Virginia, why
don't the Georgians and Virginians avail
themselves of them ? If there are for?
tunes to be made in cotton spinning in
Tennessee, why don't the Tennesseeans
make them instead of inviting somebody
else to come and get them ? It is the
people of Alabama who ought to be mak?
ing cheap iron at Birmingham, and the
people of Tennessee who ought to be
making cheap iron at Chattanooga and
that vicinity.
The reply to this is that the people of
the South have not the capital. But
why then do not the people ot the South
go to work and make capital ? This in?
cessant prayer to foreign capital to come
into the South is like the prayer of the
wagoner to Hercules to come and lift his
wheels out of the mud. The strong god's
answer was that he helped those only
who helped themselves: if the wagoner
would put his own shoulder to the wheel,
Hercules would supply all the power he
lacked. This answer embodies the whole
Philosophy of the Southern situation,
he South does not need capital as much
as it needs willing labor?and this it has
in abundance. Capital is nothiug but a
concrete form of labor, now dead, and a
very serviceable aud eflicient substitute
for it is living labor. This, united with
industry and economy, in the midst of
euch favorable conditions as mild climate,
cheap livingj accessible materials and
water power, accumulates capital with
surprising rapidity. A man who earus
$100 a year more than he spends, per
annum, makes that much capital every
year; a hundred men in a community,
doing the same thing, make $10,000 cap?
ital in a single year; and a thousand
men, working and saving at the same
rate, and investing their earnings would
in seven years produce $1,000,000?-a sum
large enough to start ten manufacturing
establishments. But it is said that the
South has not enough of either labor or
capital. This is a mistake. It cannot be
said that there is a deficiency of labor in
a community as long as there is any con?
siderable number of idlers in it, and it is
an undeniable fact that there are a great
many idlers in the South?more, in ftct,
than in those ^regions from which immi?
gration is invited. There are, propor?
tionately, more unemployed persons in
Tennessee than in Connecticut; of the
425,999 males and females over 10 years
of age in Connecticut, 193,000, or nearly
half, are engaged in some occupation,
86,344 of them being engaged in mechan?
ical and manufacturing vocation, while
of the 890,000 males and females over 10
years of age in Tennessee, only 367,000
are engaged in occupation ; and ouly 29,
000 of these are employed in mechanical
and manufneturing vocations. Of the
412,655 females over 10 years of ago in
Virginia, only 75,000 are engaged in oc?
cupations?and nearly all these are col?
ored females; while "of the 209,000 fe?
males over 10 years of age in Conncticut,
159,460 have occupations. These figures
largely explain the abundance of capital
in the New England Slates, and the
scarcity of it in the South. If the South
wants capital, it must work for it; it
must earn more than it spends, and in?
vest the surplus year after year in manu?
factures. If 5,000 idle persons in Ten?
nessee were to engage steadily and indus?
triously in productive employment, it
would be worth more to the State than
the investment of $5,000,000 of Boston
eapital in it. Besides, there is a magical
sympathy in labor that attracts its kind
from all quarters. If the people of Ten?
nessee were to help themselves with all
their might and main, they would be
surprised to find how many others would
eome to help them ; if all the idle per?
sons in that State were to go to work, re?
solved to make their own capital, thou?
sands of intelligent laborers and millions
of vigilant capital would flow in upon
them, eager to seek employment and in?
vestment in the midst of an industrious,
independent people, and to share in the
{>rofits of cheap manufacturing. But as
ong as the people of a Southern State
invite somebody else to come and do the
work which they themselves will not do,
dig the ore which they will not dig, spin
the cotton which they will not spin, and
build the shops which they will not j
build, so long will they fail of that power
which wealth alone can bring.

Length of the Mississippi.--:Ma k
Twain, in the August Alluntk mourns
over tlic diminished length of the Missis
sippi in this strain :
Geology never had such a chance, nor
such exact data to argue from ! Xor "de?
velopment of species," either! Glacial
epochs arc great things, but they are
vague?vague. Please observe: 1? the
space of one hundred and seventy-six
years the lower Mississippi has shortened
itself two hundred and forty-two miles.
That is an average of a triile over
one mile and a third per year. There?
fore, any calm person, who is not blind
or idiotic, can se" that in the Oolitic Si?
lurian period, just a million years ago
next November, the lower Mississippi
was upwards of one million three hun?
dred thousand miles long and stuck out
over the gulf of Mexico like a fishing rod.
And by the same token any person can
see that seven hundred and forty-two
years from now the lower Mississippi will
only be a mile and three quarters long,
and Cairo and New Orleans will have
joined their streets together, and be plod?
ding along under a single mayor and a
mutual board of alderman. There is
something fascinating about science.?
One gets such wholesale returns of con?
jecture out of such a trifling investment
of fact.
Gex. James Loxgstkekt.?Gen. D.
H. Hill, iu the Southern Home, thus al?
ludes to a call from his old comrade in
arms, Gen. Longstrect: "He is in bad
health, and his long whiskers, that were
once so black, are now frosted all over.
He is stooped and bowed, and looks hag?
gard and care-worn. There is little to
recall the confident soldier of Lee's army,
who never dreamed of disaster, and still
less to recall the tall, straight j-outh, al?
most feminine in beauty, who led %o
many charges in the Mexican war. He
was then our most intimate friend in that
army, and no one has mourned over his
mistaken course since the war more sin?
cerely than we have done. But the
South had no truer champion than he in
the day that tried men's souls. It ill be?
comes men who were bomb-proofs then
to cast a stone at him now. Lee, John?
son and Jackson were not more devoted
to our Confederate cause than was Geu
eral James Longstrect. The imputations
upon his loyalty to the South are simply
ridiculous. As he is no longer in Grant's
employ, we feel it but right to testify
what we know assuredly of his honor and
truth."
AH Sorts of Paragraphs.
? A Milwaukee paper says of the air,
in its relations to man: "It kisses and
blesses him, but will not obey him."
Blobbs says that description suits his
wife exactly.
? A farmer complains that a hook and
ladder company has been organized in
his neighborhood. He states that the
ladder is used after dark for climbing in?
to the henhouse, after which the hooking
is done.
? Mark Twain, apropos of a new por?
table mosquito net, writes that the day is
coming "when we shall sit uuclcr our j
nets in church and slumber peacefully,
while the discomfitted Hies club together
and take it out of the minister."
? An eccentric old fellow, who lives
alongside of a graveyard, was asked if
it was not an unpleasantlocation. ''No,"
said he, "I never jined places with a
set of neighbors in my life that minded
their own business so stiddy as they
do."
? "Jessie, what was Joe's arm doing
around your waist when you were at the
front gate last night?" asked a precocious
boy of his sister. "His arm wasn't
around my waist; I won a belt from him,
and be was taking my measure," replied
die indignant young lady.
? A Missouri judge has decided that a
mother has no legal right to thrash her
daughter after the girl has passed her
eighteenth birthday. That judge is
quite right. When a girl reaches her
eighteenth year the legal right to thrash
her becomes dormant, and remains so
until she marries, when it revives and
reverts to her husband.
? "What are you dancing around for ?"
inquired a bootblack yesterday, of a boy
acquaintance whose face was covered
with smiles, aid who was executing a
doub'e-shuffle. "Glory 'nuir fur one
day !" replied the lad, jumping still high?
er, "cow got into the garden this morn?
ing and tramped every bed as fiat as yer
hat, and I won't have to pull a weed this
summer!"
? Senator Norwood, of Georgia, in
his recent address at Emory College,
made some interesting points. Among
them were these: "While emancipation
diminished our wealth, it increased our
i political power. Negroes vote for men
and not for measures, and their eight
hundred thousand votes will be added to
ours. The negro is gravitating towards
us. The people of the North will soon
I rise and demand a surrender of tho elec?
tive franchise or colonization."
? Hon. Revordy Johnson has ad?
dressed a Jong and interesting letter to
the New York Tribune on the subject of
the law of copyright. Mr. Johnson
takes strong ground in favor of the rights
of authors to the product of their brains,
his conclusion being that the demands of
justice and the obligations of national
duty imperatively requiro that an inter?
national copy-right between the United
States and England and all other coun?
tries should exist. Mr. Johnson brings
to the discussion of the subject, which
might be regarded as somewhat out of the
line of his usual studies, a fund of erudi?
tion, with pertinent authorities and apt
examples.
? f here are a very few momentan ui
man's existence when he experiences so
much ludicrous distress, or meets with as
little charitable commisscralion, as when
he is in pursuit of his own bat. A vast
deal of coolness, and a peculiar degree of
judgment, are requisite in catching a hat.
A man must not be precipitate, or he
runs over it; he must not rush into the
opposite extreme, or he looses it altogeth?
er. The best way is to keep gently up
with the object of pursuit, to lie cautious,
to watch your opportunity well, get grad?
ually before it, then make rapid dive,
siezc it by the crown and slick it firmly
on your head, smiling pleasantly all the I
time, as if you thought it as good a joke
as anybody else.
? Speaking of the South, the Boston J
Post says that a fire could not clean out
a doomed territory more completely than j
the carpet-bag fraternity, chartered and
protected from Washington, devoured the
remnant of substance which was the
South's only reliance in a struggle 1??r re?
covery. But iL is everything that labor
has at last opened its eyes to the truth,
and comprehends the vital points of the |
situation. When the blacks suffer, then
they are able to see that it is because the I
whites have suffered liefere them, and
they reason clearly from Ihecflccl tu the
cause. When they finally understand
that whole States have been impoverished,
whose productive resources once seemed i
limitless, they are able to conceive that
it was accomplished by influences from
without, that however commended to
their approbation, have provod them?
selves treacherously destructive and
cruel.
