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.

In his comment on tin naval
controversy. Win, J. Bryan takes
the side of Ilea; Admiral Soli Icy,
giving him credit for the vict ?ry
of Santiago, and declaring it a
"pity that there should beany con- ,
troversy that seeks to discredit a
brave, honorable and modest am |
fighter, who successfully lt-cl the!
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."
