Renewed Confidence in Southern
Investments.
Tho Manufacturers' Kecord, of Baiti
more, in its issue of February 20, says:
''There are many signs of a revival of
confidence in Southern investments, and
among them are the proposed reorganiza
tion by the foremost financiers of the
country of the Richmond & West Point
Terminal, the large amount of money
lately furnished for extensions of the
Norfolk 6c Western Railroad, the great
improvements involving an expenditure
of some millions of dollars by the Chesa
peake & Ohio, and the consummation of
financial plans for carrying out many de
velopment enterprises. The troubles,
due in part to low-price cotton, in part
to the natural effects of such a world
wide panic as we had last year, are now
seen to-be, as the Manufacturers' Record
has steadily c'aimed, only of a temporary
character, and while severe for a time,
they in no way destroy the solid founda
tion of wealth bised on the Soifth's in
comparable natural resources. They may
have retarded the development of these
resources for a while, but they have only
served to show the dangers to be avoid
ed. and the result will be a more conser
vative and more solid foundation for the
gre.it industrial activities of the future.
Among the new enterprises reported for
tlre-wcek are important railroad exten
sions and improvements and mining and
manufacturing companies that cover a
wide range of industry. In West Vir
ginia a $500,000 coal' mining company
and a ft, 000, 000 oil and gas company
have been incorporated, also two lumber
companies, one of $100,000 and one of
$ 30,003 capital stock, respectively; Bir

The Georgia. Carolina and Northern
railroad has been completed to within

Washington, D. C.? Mr. Ot's, of Kan
sas, an Alliance member, has introduced
a bill to authorize the Secretary of the
Treasury to have two billions dollars of
paper money duly priuted in denomina
tions ranging from $1 to $u03. each bill
being absolute money and not iu the form
of a promise, to be full 1- gal tender for
both public aDd private debts and inter
changeable^ par with any other kind of
lawful money of the United States. It
shad be known as the National Union
Loan Fund, and placed in the United
States Treasury, subject to the order of
the Goyenors of the different Siatcs of
the Union. Any State can draw on this
fund by paying 1 per cent. 7nie;est per
year, and the State can Iohu io its citizeus
l on security at a rate of inteiest not to ex
ceed 3 per cent, per annum. All draft*
made upon the fund shall be made by
the Governor and Secretary of the State,

and i\ conformity with the laws of the I
State chnl a full statement of the account j

"raise something to sell."
In their complaints of hard times and
i their petitions for legislative ltlief the
i farmers a;.1, of:en met with the advice,
"raise something to s-cil. This advice
I comes of course, m most instances, from
I tlio-SC who nevtr ";aise anything theai
i selves, (unless it is 'he devil) but who,
! good, kind souls never think how it
sounds, so great is their interest in the
; farmer's welfare. We t o\v rise to ask
the question, who raises more than the
farmers of the United States? If the
amount raised was an u.dex to prosperi
ty the farmers would not only be the

a Htt'e of this advice to jsome of those
who give it. Take the professional poli

have him raise "something to sell." Tell
him lie will be better of! and "nearer to

God tV-iU him.': Let^us^be generous
and charitable hell) lijrn to "retire to
the secluded shades of piivate life" by
finding a substitute to Utke the burdeu
soine and hocorous dr. lies of office from
his shoulders. Poor fellow, he has been
a martyr long enough.
Then let us take the poor preacher at a
salary of $25,000 a year. Advhe him to
"raise mo:e to veil. ' Put him where he
can raise it. for ' is not a dollar a day
enough tn buy bread? Water costs noth

and water is not lit to live. A family
may live, lniii;h. love and be happy that
eats bread in the nv*r:dr.g with good wa

do him good. It may tan him a little'

besides God has or lamed tint "in the j

and if he eats a "dollar a day's"' worth, j
at the low price it brings at the farm, it j

Protection Reaches All.
Bein" asked why he is a protectionist,
Hon. Henry B. Metcalf, of Uhpde Isl
and, replied as follows :
"Because for fortv years I hri,ve been
both an active business raan and. an ac
tual observer of actual events. 1 have
read and listened to the theories of *410
opponents of protection and ac.u.illy
seen those theories refuted in living ex
perience. I have studied the policy and
promises of the advocates of protection,
and actual evidence, on every hand,
confirms those promises.
"I have seen it to be an actual fact,
abundantly sustained by evidence, that
under the system of protection every
hour of honest toil purchases more of
material comfort for the toiler than is at
tainable under any other system, the de
gree of such advantage being contin
gent upon the completeness and accuracy
of the application of the protective sys
tem. This advantage comes, directly
or indirectly, to all class of toiler*, bo
they weavers, spinners, carpenters,
painters, machinists, farmers, doctors,
editors or teachers. I am con\inced
that the system of protection fosiers a
spirit, of national self iu .lependencj, such
as is indispensable to the highest stand
ards of citizenship under a government
of the people.''

COMPELLING REPARATION.
THE CHILEAN TROUBLE SUGGESTS
OTHER CASES IN OUR HISTORY.
Two Noted Instances? How the Hi njj
of Naples Came Down? Captain
lngraham and the Austrian \avr.
Ia aa article suggested by the trouble
with Chile the New York Sun instances.,
several cases where the United States
Davy was called upon to take a tirm
stand, against other countries. \\k' quote
as folio tV8: -
Oae of the most attractive citoi oc
curred during Jackson's Administration
in 1832. The trouble was with?ltaly, or
tnat part of Italy known at that time as
the kingdom of Naples. During the
years from 1S09 to 1S12, the Neapolitan
Government, under Joseph Bonaparte
and Murat, the successive Kings or
Naplef, had confiscated numerous Ameri
can shi|?s and cargoes. The total amount
of the Americau claims, as tiled in the
State Department, against Naples when
Jackson's Administration assumed con
trol was $1,734,994. They were held
by various insurance companies aud by
citizens, principals of Baltimore. De
mands for the payinent of these claims
had from time to titie been made by o ir
Government, but Naples had always re
fused to settle them.
Jackson's Administration took a de
cided stand. The Hon. John Nelson, of
Frederick, Md., was appointed AJiuister
to Naples and ordered to insist u;>on a
settlement. Commodore Dauiel Patter
son, who aided in the defence of New
Orleans in 1815, was put in command of
the Mediterranean squadron and ordered
to co-operate with Minister Nelson in en
forcing his demands. When Naples
persisted in her refusal, a warlike de
monstration was decided upon, and Com
modore Patterson laid liis plans. The
entire force at his command consisted of
three fifty-gun frigates aud three twenty
gun corvettes. So as not topiecipitate
matters too hastily the plan was for tpesfe
vessels to appear in the Neapolitan
waters one at a time, and instructions
were given accordingly.
The Braadywine with Minister Nelson
on board went first. Mr. Nelson te
peated the demands for a settlement, and
they were refused. There was nothiug
in the appearance of a Yankee envoy and
a single ship to trouble King Bornba and
his little kiugdom. \
The Brundywine cast anchor iu tac
harbor ana the humbled env'oy waited
patiently for a few days. Tiieu another
American dag appeared on the liorizou,
and the frigate United States floated
into the harbor and ca*ne to anchor.
- Mr. Nelson repeated his demands, and
they were again refused. Four days
slipped away, and the Stars and Stripe*
again appeared on the horizon. King
Bomba, looking out from his palace
windows, s:iw the tifty-guu frigate Con
cord sail into the harbor and drop her
anchcr. Then 6igh3 of uneasiness and
alarm begau to show themselves. Forts
were repaired, troops drilled, and more
canuon mouuted on the coast. The de
mands were reiterated, but the Neapoli
tan Government still refused. Two
days later another war ship made her
way. into the harbor. It was the John
Adams. When the fifth ship sailed
gallantly in, the Bourbon Government
seemed almost on the point of yielding,
but three days later Mr. Nelson sent
word home that he was still unable to
collect the bill.
Just as the sixth sail showed itself on
the blue waters, Kiujf B)mba and his
Government announced that th.-y would
accetlo to the American demands. The
negotiations were closed, and interest
was guaranteed on installments. The
entire squadron remtiued iu the bay of
Naples Irom Aug. 23 to Sept. 15. Then
the ships sailed away and separated.
Another demonstration, perhaps leis
imposing than the one just referred to,
but quite as spirited and equally success
ful, occurred at Smyrna in 1853, when
Captain Duncan Nathauiel Ingraham,
with a single sloop-of-war, trained his
broadsides on a fleet of Austrian war
ships. The story was talked about last
October, when Captain Ingraham died,
but it cannot be too often repaatei.
When the revolution of Hungary
against Austria was put down, Kossuth,
Koszta, and other leading revolutionist:*
fled to Smyrna, uud the Turkey Govern
ment, after long negotiations, refused to
give them up. Koszta soon after came
to the United States, and in July, 1X52,
declared under oath his intention of be
coming an American citizen.
The next year Koszta went to Smyrna
on business, where he remaiucd for a
time undisturbed. He had so iufuuned
the Austrian Government against him,
however, that a plot wa3 formed to cap
ture him. On June 2 J.st, l?53, a band
of Greek mercenaries hired by the Aus
trian Consul, seized him in Smyrna and
carried him off to an Austrian ehip-of
war, the Huzzar, then lying in the har
bor. On board the vessel Archduke
John, brother of the Emperor, was said
to be in command. Koszta was put la
irons and treated as a criminal.
The next day an American slope-of
war, the St. Louis, commanded by Cap
tain Ingraham, sailed into the harbor.
Learning what had happened Captain
Ingraham immediately bent on bo n d tht
Kuzz'ir and courteously a>ke<l permission
to see Koszta. His request was irrante I.
and Captain Ingraha a a >ured hinw .l
t hat Ko>zta was entitled to the protec
tion of the American fl tg.
He demanded K<>=zta\s relea-e of the
Austrian, commander. When it nns r< -
fused he communicated with "the

June before Captain Ingraham iia I
received any answer from the American
Consul, he noticed unufuil n,'ns <>: ac
tivity on board the Huzzar. an 1. before j
long she began to get under war.
The American Captain made up his j
mind immediately. He put the St. j
Louis straight m the lluzztr's course, j
and cleared his guus for action, i The i
Huzzar iiove to, anrl Captian Ingraham 1
went on board and deinmded the mem
ing of the Huzzar's action.
"We propose to tail f ho:nv," re
plied the A'l-irian. " The (' insu! ; a- J
ordered us t-< ta.se <?.;r ;?r;> ''.cr to Aui- ;

Ingraham, "but it you attempt to leave

The Austrian glanced around at the
fleet of Austrian-war ships and tlK^sin^'.e
American sloop-rtf.war. Then Re'smiled
pleasantly, and intimated that the Iiuzzat
would do as she i>lea?eJ.
Captain In graham bowed and returned
to the St. Louu?. lie hi I no sooner
reached her deck than he called out:
*kClear the guns for notion 1"
The Archduke of Austria saw the bat
l teries of the St. Louis turned oa him, and
he realized that he was iu the wrong.
The iiuzg^r was pul about and saile i
Lack to ker old anchorage. Word was
sent to Captain Iograham that the Aus
trian would await the arrival of the iwtc
from Mr. Brown.
The Consul's note, which came on July
1st, commended Captain lograham's
course. aud advised him to take whatever
action ha thought the situition de
manded. | I j
Captain I n graham Wnt a note, to the
commander of the lluzzar formally de
manding the release of Mr. Ko*zta. Uu
luss the prisoner was delivered on board
the St. Louis before 4 o'clock the nest1
afternoon Captain Iugraham would take
him from the Austrian* by forc?. The
Archduke sent back a formal refusal. At
8 o'clock the next morning Captain
Ingrahani once more ordered ihe decks
cleared for action and trained his batter
ies on the lluzzar. The seveu Austrian
war vessuls cleared their decks au'd put
their men at the ruus.
At lrj o'clock. an Austrian officer came
to Captain Iugraham and bj^tu to tem
porize. Captain Ingraham refused to
listen to him. 4
44To avoid the worst," he said, *vlI will
agree to let the man be delivered to the
French Cousul at Smyrna until you have
opportunity to communicate with your
Government. But he must be delivered
there or I will take him. I have stated
the time."
At 12 o'clock a boat left the lfuzzir
with Ko-zta in it, and aa hour later the
French Cousul sent word that Koszta was
in his keeping. Then several of the
Xustriau war vejscls sailed out of the
harbor. Long negotiations between the i
two Governments followed, and in the
| end Austria admitted that the United
States was in the right, and apologize.!.
It was just a year after Captain Ingra
ham compelled Austria to recognizj?the
rights of the United States that another
occasion arose where our Government
felt obliged to tormiimte negotiations by
force of arms.
