AUGUST M. PJi'i A Tribute to ih^ aouili. Prof. Sehwnb. of \ ale, has writleri h hook called the Financial ami IndiiHtrial History oi tin Com ! federate States of America. It is a severely critical review of the (Confederate financial policy by a ' Northern man with no sympathy for the ' Southern canse. The writer censures .ur. 310111 niinger, the secretary of the Confederate treasury, for depending on public loans to raise the* money to carry on the war, instead of resorting to ! the levying of taxes. But Prof. I Schwab admits the alpinist iusur- j luoipiptxble difficulties of collecting ! from States over-run by the in- ' vasion of a sufficient tax. The work reveals tin* astounding fact ihat the Confederacy had but j $27,000,000 in the entire four years of the war. M. I*. O'Connor, of Charleston, said in JHtJl in the hearing of the I writer of these notes, that the true financial policy of the Con federate government was tu have used the egpreuie authority of governpnent for the "safety of the state," and seized in lbfil all the cotton /Tom its owners and before the blockade became effectual to have . offered it'to British ships for shipment to England upon which to! draw supplies and ammunition, i Prof. Schvyab reluctantly admits in view of the overwhelming odds against which the South conj? nd- ; od, that, the Southerner's sacrifices ! far exceeded those of Revolutionary patriots. As t lie passions eugendered by the war recede in the J vista of time and men look at the j plain truth of history, the South era people will reeoive the juHt admiration of the world for their ' heroic endurance. surpassing the record of /piy people of ancient or modina^titneb.. M Uapti#t. ? "l)?go" Labor. In year.-? gone by, when in ill , owners and corporal ions discoursed foreign workmen, the laboring class of people were enjoying; a period of good wages and pros-! perity. But afar otV in the sunny land of Italy a movement was! taking place which was soon to I upset this state of atfairs. The ; meanest class of Italians w< re em harking like a great army to jour- j ney across the ocean and encroach upon our laws and government. At. first their ctforts to secure em- 1 ployinent' met with failure, but. still persisting, a few of them were hired. That few meant the start mg point of a steady downward movement in the wages of our own people. Today the country is alive j with these foreigners. We have 1 them on our police forces, <mr I mills, our railroads and in fact in almost, every position once occu pied |>y our working aouH of America. But here let 1110 ask a <pies- I tion. Fs their labor efficient?! Some say yes, Home say no and 1 think 110 is right In the mills their work is passed ?i\" <0 the on suspecting public as first-class workmanship,; hot it is inferior goods. On the police force their i porvicee arc unwprthy of notice, lftliis state of fttfaira rontinues, and it. surely will, wh'II soon have the time present when we shall |mve cities entirely run by these j foreigners, fast uh picture American labor as a beautiful gigantic tree flourishing with prosperity, while slowly devouring it like a pest are these foreigners; and then, I ugaiti, we can picture this grand specimen of tho working sons of America falling to decay, while springing up in its stead is a stout sapling of foreign workmanship. ?Young Progressive ?

In his comment on tin naval controversy. Win, J.

American forces in one of the greatest, if not the greatest, naval I battle in tint history of the world." ; Mr. Bryan denounces the Mac 1 lay history of the struggle, and thinks it strange thai a historian finds d nceesaary "!<> resort to the lowest form of abuse in dealing j with a historical character," and. adding, that "as a clerk in thej navy yard he should be displaced because of lbs outrageous assaults upon a man who has been the patient victim of the most remarkable series of attacks recorded in American history." ?- 4*^ ?
