A TALK WITH AN KXPKUT An Kxperlonocd Mill Man UIvcm tho HeusoiiH lur Ills Confidence In the Momli out a Manufacturing District. Hon. G. G. Jordan, of Columbus, Ga., Ih an experienced cotton manu facturer, and gave twenty years of his life to the business. In an Interview . with aWfeportor for the Atlanta Journal, *Mr. Jordan expresses his views as to the relative superiority of tho North and South for manufacturing purposes, and tho incidental questions in connection therewith : "What do you really f?el most in terest in concerning It? Will cotton manufacturing inereaso rapidly in the South, and if you think ho, glvo us some good reasons for it as a practical manufacturer yourself. " I have always thought that, and when, Gthello-like, after the lato war I found myself a young man ' without an occupation,' I went Immediately into the cotton mill business, believing then as I do now, that the South, and especially Georgia, is the proper place for spinning and weaving tho cotton fabrics of tho United States. Now, you know the strongest manufacturers in tho Uulon begin to believe the samoway, and we may expect phenom enal development through the entire South in all manufacturing brunches, butespeeially in cotton spinning. I '"Some of the reasons for it? Why those. Tho cotton grows in our win dows. We can take it direct 'rent tho gin without it even passing through the unnecessary stages of bailing and i compressing, and put it directly into our ploker-ruoni. The days are long , here. Tho climate is all that any ?? .manufacturer could desire. Labor is not, only reasonable in. its demands, but It is the very best in the world. I speak advisedly on this particular point, beeauso tho Eagle and Phenix mills, with which 1 was connected, brought here a good many years ago ' several hundred English operatives, and wo have tried Canadians, Now Englauderu and others, and I speak ? truly when I toll you that Southern labor is tho best I havo ever scon uny whore. Thoy want to be troated justly, but they do not consumo all of ,thBlr time in quibbling and argument, ?aK"?.?!>'?"?"? ides. Uolug native and to the mannor Sdf^>L_are_J nc-t.rSont'tnnaUy imagining tbey are imposed on; they have no quirks on the trade union subject, and adapt themselves to all thotr surroundings quickly and easily. Asa nmttei- of fact, this climate allows an operative to live more cheaply than anywhere else in the world in tho tem perateroglons, and with free schools everywhere as there are now there is plenty of intelligence, plenty of sap, und in a plaeo like Columbus, which haa boon a manufacturing point since 1834, tho mill help has Inherited by transmission an adaptability for cot ton manufacturing, und there is plenty ofthat kind of help there. "No, I do not fear competition from the North, and would really like to see Northerners and ?asternera come here with their capital, ami enjoy seme of these advantages. Why notV The world Ih tho market of a compe tent manufacturer, aud under the laws ot this country as they now exist wo should not rest, until we have our full portion of it. I never had any sympathy for or could bear tho polices ' of the 'dog in tho manger manu facturer' who thinks that when he has got a good thing ho should shut up like the oyster and keep it to himself. That is too nurrow-minded and really is senseless. The South bus loss than four per cent, of tho cotton spindles of the world, and thoro Is plenty of room here for iuoroase. Tho fittest should survive in thin world und will do it. The history of manufacturing in this town, in tho South, New England, aud elsewhere, has always been of one chat acter, that is, that the more im portant a point becomes as a manu facturing center the moro attention is drawn to it from tho whole world, and the markets broaden. Comparisons by tho mill superintendents gonorato a healthy competition, and give birth to new ideas and new economies. No, it is not only foolish, but very uncalled for to fear competition. Some of tint advantages that I have not enumerated are not only the threat saving in freight on tho raw material, the long days which we ean utilize, tho tractable labor, but our laws have all boon directed to that, end to induce capital to bo invested in tho State In cotton ?m&nufneturiug. Wov iustanco, our tayatlorT in this Stato is low. We \ havo noNyjvero legislation as to tho employment^VvI labor, and then in points like CorTtmbus, wo have the en-deal, controlled witter power in tho world. This market receives about > one hundred and fifty thousand bales of cotton per annum, and iitir ware houses havo always a sufficient stock on hand to draw' from, aud then, as we all know, taxation In this city is remarkably light. "Diversification? Certainly I ap*. {?rovo of it, and if you will carefully ook at the Columbus mllm before you leave here, you will see that wo aet upon that idea. The largest corpora tion here probably manufactures two hundred different varieties of goods, and every one of these requires moro or less colored yarn. Tho truth is, you will find that tho Columbus mills manufacture colored goods almost ox oluBlvely. Woolen goods of a great variety, quilts, towols. portieres, srlug hams, finer grades of cottnnudes, and all these things are having a benefl eial effect in more ways than ono. Espooially I would mention that it ha-> given birth to sovoral largo clothing manufacturing cstahlishomunts hero, employing a great number of opera tives, and mnnfacturlng shirts and all varieties of mon's clothing. " Do I think tho South capable of producing tho finer grndes of any thing ? Why not? Tho only reason that this has not beon dorto is because tho Held of tho medium and coarsor grades has not oeon occupied, and our advantages are so much moro manifest in theso welghte of goods that it has x'.ot seemed to tho interest of tho Southerners to go into tho finer grades as yet. This will come more proficient, as the rate of interest becomos iower on money, and tho demand for the finer goods warrants It. In other words, there is no good reason in the world why tho South cannot make fine goods as well as either Old or New England. Thoro I? nothing in tho ollmnto, nor tho Intelligence of the people, or any othor good reason that I know of, except that it pays hotter now to manufacture tho medium und heavier grades ofgoodn. " Do I really think tbnt the Eastern manufaeturoi-h who nro visiting tho South are in earnofct about moving to the South ? It is manifost. that tho mill that is located at Gadsdon and the other that Is building at Rome, Ga., are deeply in earnest. Actions Apeak plainer than words, always. We know that there has been a great deal of . New England money Invested in the Southern mills, aud this movement Is growing every year, ft la becoming ?rtoro and moro apparent ovary ve?r that very many of the grades of goods now manufaotured in New England goods manufactured lu tuo The conditions are ail favorable for Southern competition to win, and no body Muds that out quicker than a Now Kurland manufacturer. No doubt a lot of thid burruh that wo have hoard hi to incite legislators in the Now England ^tates to modify their severe laws regarding cotton mills, but all the name the band writing 1? on . tho wu'd, and the South is the natural l place to manufacture medium and heavy weight goods, and wbnt falo has decreed is generally liable to occur. " What do I think is tho greatest error of Southern mill owner* ? There aro two groat errors that most South ern manufacturers make when they first begin ; namely, they fail to supply themselves with sufficient Moating capital, and very often imagine that because a man :a a good merchant be will mako a good manufacturer, and they place him as a practical man at tho head of tho concern. Insufficient capital has probably wrecked moro in stitutions than tho eecond fault that I have named, but both of them are grievous errors, and now happily aro becoming less each year. Then the next mistake of Southern mills mako 1b that they undertake to run their machinery too long, Imagining that repairs replace the maohlnory, and forgetting the wonderful strides in human ?ngonuity and human progress in the mechanical mind. Much of this Is engendered by the inordinate deslro of unthinking and greedy share holder.; for largo dividends; instead of creating a healthy sinking fund, I always ready to tido over dull times, and to replace machinery when it has outlived its usefulness. Maohlnory may live twenty years, but it has out lived its day and generation most often when it does. Tho most successful mills, no matter whero they, are located, aro thoso which have com mand of plenty of mouey et all times, either thoir own, or suoh an they can hire certainly and cheaply, ami sueh mills as Invariably keop abreast, of the times In every Improvement In machin ery. Mills that observe these cardinal rules, have brains at its head, money in Its treasury, and now machinery when required, novor fall. Mills of this character aro always successful. 11 Yes, I candidly admit that 1 am a little enthusiastic about, tho South. I always was, and I may bo In error, but it suems to mo that with a tariff revised as we have it, giving us an op portunity to havo reciprocal trade with the balance of tho world and a chance at all markets, there novor was such a bright outlook for manu facturing in tho South as thero Is now. '* Do I know auything that would Improve oven this roseato outlook ? Yos, I do. That Is tho completion of the Nicaraguan canal, a work which, in my opinion, will give birth to more opportunities and bring more wealth to tho South, and in fact, to tho whole of this Union than any other we could possibly dream of. Tno Suez canal, the Manchester ship canal, tho Gor .man canal at Kiel, are all wonderful 'examples of what recent European money and energy has accomplished in the way of shortening transit over this world through waterways. I will bo very much surprised if American push and American brain* does not soon direct the attention or tho world toa like achievement. Yes, certainly, we should control it. This govern ment should aid it, and I can conceive of nothing that would be so especially beneficial to the South as early com pletion of the canal across tho isthmus, it will build up Southern ports. It will give us the Oriental markets and give an impetus to everything In the South that we scarcely concoivo of now. Thou, with Cuba as a part of this Union, we would bo in a position to he what Nature intended the South to be?tho most prosperous section of the United States and as fair a land as tho sun ever shonoou. Nature did her part thoroughly?it only remains for our people to realize thoir opportuni ties, and develop them." THE AFTERMATH OF WAR. IllIMINATINO ON TilB IIA 111)31111'S OF TIIIO PAST.

Nature's beauty costs nothing, and is the loveliest of all. I like things that cost nothing?no money, no labor nor toil?but my wife likes some that re quire work and there's nobody here out mo. She says that nature can't put on now clothes until tho old ones aro removed, and so I havo to rako up the leaves ami trash aud haul them on in a wheel harrow and the Mower beds had to be renewed and refertllized aud tho old vines torn down from tho tro lisses and the bulbs and verbenas and geraniums brought out of tho green houses and reset in thoir beds. When I got tired she says I may swap work by digging in the garden, and so she manages to keep nie busy, and all I get is a little praise now and then. If it wasn't for her I don't reckon I would do much of anything but sit around and ruminate. I've got a beautiful gartlon and am proud of it, for I am a horny-handod son of toil. . have eight long rows of strawberries that are full of fruit. Wo thought it wus enough last night to make a frost, aud so to save my beuns my daughter [tasted a lot of newspa pers together in a long roll and then I unrolled It over tho bean rows ?nd fastened It down with a few stones and told the weather to frost If it wanted to. Nowspapers aro as good as a blanket, aud it takes Out a little while to paste them together. My wife says I am a good worker when I get at It. That's all she says, but I know what she moans. Wo wore both ruminating about spring and the timo to decorate tho graves, and about tho anniversary of surrender, for about this timo thirty years ago there was trouble In this country?this Southern country. Tho war was over, but there was not vory much i eaeo. Thero was more fear than pence?fear of lawlessness at homo and oppression from our con querors. And there was a fear of suf fering, for thero was but littlo corn and no meat from the last year's crop. There were widows and children all over the land, but there were no cattle, no sheep, nor hogs, and but a few chickens. The returning aohHors br< nglit back some sore-back mules, but thoi-o was nothing to feed thorn On. While tho Northern soldiers wont home in triumph, sinking songs of vic tory about marching through Georgia, tho Georgia boys were browsing tho IttuleB on the coming grass and digging up their old plow stocks and patching the year with hickory bark. But tho long war was ovor, and that was enough. Tho hoys had got back to homo and fireside and said they could eat roots and dtink branch water and bo happy. Not all tho iMiys had got back, for there wero thousands in Eed oral prisons and it took timo and red I tape to releaso them. After they j wero discharged ? It took timo and ? charity to got them homo, for thoy had i no money and had to bog or work thoir way. On every road theso roturnlng soldiors oame. It was a picluro too ' big for a painter, or olso it would havo boon painted long ago. "Tho roturn of tho iKiys in gray." unshaved, un washod, unkempt, they plodded along from day to day, weary and hungry and footsore, but homeward bound, rtiost of thorn to humblo, country cot tager, whero, perhaps, thero was a mother missing or a sister or somo loved member of riven the j cow mtus gono, for Hhermaii'a burners j bad taki-ii bor, tmt tbero wer? a. few I potatoes In tin) inn and a lew ohlokeda | left aud it iiUlo meal that bad been bidden from tbo aconU. i bought Hie Ottly cow that war? for t-alo iu our coun ty, and .-in- bait Ivm n hid out in a cane liroko. t gave $10 iu gold for five bushels of corn away down in Alabama. 1 had bidden it at old Rowland Hry anVt>, down tho river, and ho bad it ground at a naboring mill by night and brought toe half a bushel at a time, secreted under the seat of his old huggy. There wore six children then at our house, and they wero hungry. Wo never thought of meat or of sugar or coffee. Bread and milk and sor ghum was good ohougb for anybody. Hut there was no repining. Tbo family was reunited at home and that was the big tbintr. 1'overty watt noth ing in comparison. Tho war watt over and our people were sad and they wero glad. It had been virtually over for several months and tho soldiers knew it and bad got somewhat reconciled, and home and wife and children were on their hearts. Then, there were the returning refugees whom Sherman bad driven from the line of bis tnareh to the sea. He shelled the woods bo foro him and they fled. There wero none to tleo but old men and woniun and children. Ho burnod their towns and seized their stock and ordered them to "git"' for ho was going to make war terrible, and he did it. Such a desolated country for thirty miles in width has not been seen in conturiets. Aud my wifo looked awuy off dream ily and said, " Yes, it is pretty near tbo anniversary of our runageo trip from Homo. That was early in May, 18(14, and you had a beautiful garden then, and wo had green peas for din ner and Htrawborries and cream for supper." "Yes," said I, "and about midnight, when we got tbo warning wo took tbo chlldreu from thoir beds and tumbled thorn Into the little rock away and went rolling down the street towards tho IOtowah brid^o to get away from the shells that wore siz/.log aud twisting in tho air. Then we got tangled up with our retreating army and i was almost daybreak before we crossed the bridge. Wo hurried up the long hill by tho light of the Oo stauaula bridge that was burning, and away wo went on a long trot until we got to Chamber's mill, aud stopped to rent, and Tip?tho faithful Tip?made a Uro on tbo side of tho road and boil ed us somo cofTco and wo drank it and gavo tbo Children some bread and meat aud away we went again, for al most every moment some stray horse man would gallop by us uud say, ' Hurry Up ! Hurry up ! Tbo Yankees have got across tho river and are com ing on !' Oh, It was an awful lime.'* I lot her rest aud rumiuato awhile, and then bbo said : " It was almost as bad when wo journeyed home, near tho cloho of tbo war. 1 never will forgot that evening YvUon wo drove down tho hill to Steel's bridgo on the Canton road aud ono of tho llttlo boys fell out of ihe wagon aud tho hind wheel cumo within au inch of running over hit* bead, and when wo got to tho bridge the floor was gone?not a plank was on it? nothing but tho sleepers, and not a soul on Mr. Steel's place, for they, too, had run away. It was the only bridge that was left on tho long* river, and there wasn't a ferry for miles and miles. 1 remember how helpless ami forlorn wo felt until Mr. Sanders over took us there with his team, and you and Tip aud Mr. Sanders and his teamsters counted the old planks that were scattered on tho bank and saw | thet'O wero enough to cross, and all hands wont to work and laid two rows, end to end, just wido enough apart for the wheels to run on, and then pulled all the wagons and tho rockaway over by hand und Tip swam the mules and horses across and you walked tho plank with the baby in your arms, and then eiinie back lor me and the children, and wo all got over somehow, but 1 wouldn't try Ic again for a million dol lars." " You had got hardened to trouble," said I. " Von expected trouble all those long and weary years and when it came you faced it bravely. I bo llovo that the women of tho war en dured their trials with more courage than tho men. Vhoy never surrender ed noraskid for quarter, and if it bad been their tight tttoy would have been fighting yet. fhey may talk about tho daughters of tho o.d Revolution, but they made no more sacrifices for their country than our women did In our unhappy struggle for Southern rights. " And that night," said I, "we drove about ten miles iu the dark hunting for a human habitation and found none, for they had been burned, and wo camped in an old school-house, that had a fireplace hut no floor, and tho Ileus wero awful. Tbero was an old log stable by the school-house and the two oldest boys tied the milks ami tho horse in these and slopt iu the troughs with thoir loaded guns, for there wero still some lawless scouts and deserters in tho country who would rather steal a mule than to lind one astray. The next day wo made for homo. Wo passed Cass Station J that had been burned, and tbo carcases of dead horses were lying all round. Tho buzzards had picked them to their skin and bones. Thoro wero some wrecks of wugonsand caisons ly ing around, and iron' tires and axles wero piled up all, about. When wo reached Cashville wo hardly know where we wore, for the town was ut terly destroyed. There whs nothing left but chimneys and college walls?? not a human being nor a domestic, ani mal?not a dog nor a cat nor a bird nor a rabbit." A year before it was tho most beau tiful town in North Georgia, the seat of culture and schools and churches and colleges. All tho ovenlng ilsnow cd a blizzard, but we got home that night about 1) o'clock and drove opto the front gute of a relative who was too old to run away and stayed to weather tbo borrons of war. When I knockod at thed oor ho came, and before he unlocked and unbarred said iu a cautious VOlo: " Who is it, and what do you want 1" It took some timo to assip-e him of our identity and to gain admission for t he tired wife and little children. Next day wo found our once bountiful homo a wreck. Everything wo had loft iu the house was gone. Tho fence around it was gone. The shrubbery was destroyed, but tho dwelling was there, and we moved In. For weeks wo slept, on tho floor in bor rowed bedb, "but we wont to work and 1latched up what wo could, and wore lappy in our desolation. That was tbo aftermath of war. It is seldom that wo recall it, for it scorns liko a sacred history and always brings up sad memorlos? memories of tho dead Whom wo lovod and lost. When my wife counts her ago she says : " I am tempted to say with old Jacob. ' Few ami ovil havo been tho day* of the years of my pilgrimage,' but I still count tho war ten years and the re construction period ten more, and that makes me an old woman.'* Hut it don't -not a gray hair yet, and f pa ?Mi bor off an my daughter coming from Florida.

Senator Jone?, of Arkansas, was named to fill his place. Senator Jones spoke about sllvor anu the part he thought It would play in tho national politics of this country during the next two years. Ho said la reference to the next International monetary conference : "I declined to lie a delegate because I believed ?.but it would be timo thrown away. As a dele gato to the lust International confer ence I was placed In touch with the finanolal centers of Europe. ? I feel con vinced that the next conference will be a sham and a mockery. The delegates will meet, pat each Other on the back. Hatter each other about tho greatness of thoir respective nations and adjourn without doing one thing to ease tho financial ills of the world. I wanted nothing to do with it. Tho whole troublo 1b traced to the bond-owning, money-lending bankers of Europe. There is not a nation in the world that can go to war without consulting those money lenders. Thesomeu monopolize the money of the world. They grip a nation by the throat aud relentlessly throttle!!-, bo that they may squeeze out drop by drop its lifo-blood to get their usurious interest. It is estimated that these money sharks havo accumu lated ioO,000,O?O,000 of unearned incre ment, and yet they relentlessly main tain their course of nation wrecking. Whon a monetary conference meets tho hand of this gigantic combination is felt and tho conference is compellod to throw It a sop, and tho result is sheer foolishness. "As tO silver itself." Bald Senator Jones, "the sontimont is growing. Tho odd feature to mo in all this goldbug cry of monometallism is that while a dollar may go bolow par it never goes above. When a silver dollar gets down to a value of f>0 cents then tho roport of a depreciated currency Is made, aud bankers say that money is cheap and the volume must bo reduce, d. In the groat silver light in tho Senate, whon the Sherman silver purchase act was repealed, I made the assertion, and de fied any ono to refute It, that thero was not $20,000,000 of uncoined silver In tho world today. It could not be contra dicted. Decrease tho volume of money and juvt so surely you will decrease tho volume of business. When I was a boy I worked In a batik as a bookkeeper. That was before tbo gold fields of Calilomla and Australia were discovered. Money was tight, and yet tbo cry was that there was too much money in tho world, and interest wasas low a 3, I and f> per cont. Then came tho dlseovory of tho new gold fields and the volume of monoy in tho world was doubled. The result was that every one had money. Busi ness boomed and in to rest jumped from ."1 to 8 and 9 por cont. Interest Is the barometer indicator of a nation's pros perity, Tbo banker and monoy lender says today that there is too muoh money in tho world and points as proof to tho fact that interest is down to 2 aud ,'l per cent. Then eamo the con spiracy against silver in order to make gold go up. It is all wrong in theory, and the practice makes, tho distress that the country feels today. It you had $1,000,000 at this moment what would you do with it V Yon would go out and talk with business men and promoters. On every side you would moot with gloomy forecasts. There Is apparently no money to bo made any place, and* as a result you tuck your money in tho bank or in your pocket and wait for better ?itues. Tbo only reliof is to swell tho volume of money aud business will follow, and a new era of prosperity will open to tho country. "Now, how aro yon going to swell tho volume of money? Thero is in the world today $200,000,000,000 of money. At least that is the estimate, but I do not believe that there isthat much. Now, in order to double tho business of our country you must double tho money. Interest will jump from 2 and S) per cont to 5 and (5 per cont when tho now order of thiugs is established and the merchant, and business man sees a chance to go Into business where he will make money. Hut just here we aro confronted with an obstacle. To double tlio money of the world we must secure the sum of $400,000,000,000 in current speeio. Thero is not that much uncoined monoy in tho world. As I said, thero is not $20,000,000,000 of un coined silver, and there is loss gold. Whero is It to come from. The idea must be worked out us fully as possible with our means. Coin the money that is in uncoined metal. Then you come bank to si Ivor. Tho increase o( money will bo felt and business will grow as the volume of money grows. Then iu business grows money will como out of tho ground. It will bo tho fruit of tho nation's prosperity, and eventually as tho (Volume of money and tho volume of business increase in a ratio you will art iveat the end you were striving for in reviving the nation's business, which has been prostratod for two years past, and it all can be traced to the juggling with our financial system; the. attempt to tenure an elasticity of currency that will contract when interest is low and expand when it is high, and toon. It is all a mistaken theory and will bo righted in time."

A good, honest- farmer was standing i'i fron-, of t je court house yesterday, looking mournfully at. his tax r? oelpv.

I brought In a bate today, sold It for $22.50; paid my taxes, $22.25, and have a quut tor left. They tell me I can get flour aud frocks and sugar and shoes for half I paid then, but It 'pears to me I halnt got the half. I've about uuade up my mind to invest this quarter in u nited States bonds and howl for the gold standard."?Birmingham State. That states the ease iu a very effec tive way. Advocates of tho single gold standard talk a great deal about tho increased purchasing power of money offsetting tho smaller amount of money that is reeeived in pay for labor and its products, but they take no account of tho fixed charges that do not de ei eu- e in price, interest on u mortg age, or on a note for money borrowed ; Uro 11 tu ranee and lifo insurance; taxes, and charges like this which nearly every man has to pay to some oxtent cost just as much now wit... un ap preoiated ourreucy as they did when labor and tho products of labor brought a great deal more. The fact that a man can got as much for $25 now as "ho used to got for .$50 Irthownby tho foregoing illustrations not to bo such a boon to the farmer as ono might suppose. Itcosts him just us much to raise a bale of cotton for which ho guts $25 as ono tor which be got $50. If bis taxes are $25, bo could pay thorn and have $25 out of tho price of a halo of cotton. Now ho pays his taxes which are no lowor than whon cotton was twice as high, and ho has nothing loft to buy anything with. It taxos, interest, insurance, and flxod churgos of his kind wont down in pro portion to the lower wages and lower (.rices, then there would bo a great deal of force in the claim for tho greater purchasing power of money. But until It has greater "purchasing power In discharging interest, insur ance and tuxes it does not moot tho requirements. - Queer St nt Hi lea of tho Human Family. Tho estimated population of the world on January 1, 1895, was 1,500. 000.000. Taking tho world over, there is an average of one death aud one und one fourth births per second. Only one half of all who are born into the world live to tho ago of seventeen years. Vital statistics prove that, taking the world over, tbo.*o aro 109 wotuon to every lUO men.
