THK RETURN OF PROSPERITY.
The Atlanta Constitution, albeit a
Uryanitc and a piofessor of the creed
that declares forty cents to be the
equivalent of one dollar, has become
n.varc of the fact that prosperity has
followed the rejection of Bryan and
the election of McKinley. It notes
the establishment of no fewer than
4C0 new industries in the South
alone between October, 1897, and
January, 1898. It may be well io
quote the words of this famous organ
of Demo-Populism :
Altogether the number of indus
tries which have sprung into exist
ence in the South since Oct. 1, 1897,
aggregate 4G9, divided among the
various slates of this section in the
following manner: Alabama, 35;
Arkansas, 30; Florida, 30; Georgia,
54; Kentucky, 39; Louisiana, 1G;
Mississippi, 17; North Carolina, 39;
South Carolina, 24 ; Tennessee, 49 ;
Texas, GO; "West Virginia, 41, and
Virginia 35.
"We congratulate the southern
states upon this magnificent revival
of prosperity, and we compliment
the Atlanta Constitution upon its
accurate compilation of statistics.
lue south is getting its suare m
the universal betterment of condi
tions. The trade of the United
States in December, 1897, was worth
$130,322,9G5 in exports and $54,
275,199 in imports. In December,
1896, the export trade was worth
124,10G,75G, and the imports SGI,
9GG,403; the excess of exports over
imports being 602,140,353 for the
last month of 189G and $7G,047,7GG
for that of 1897. Here is a gain of
very neatly 14,000,000 on the
credit side of the national balance
sheet. In no month of any year has
there been such a credit balance as
in December, 1897.
The red gold of Europe must flow
to the United States in payment of
the debts contracted for what it buys
from us in excess of what it sells to
us. Moreover, we are fast buying
lmck the shares and stocks in United
States enterprises that long have
been held abroad. This means
much. The interest upon American
debentures is being paid to Ameri
cans, and the proliis upon American
ventures are being paid to Ameri
cans instead of to Europeans, when
ever a transfer r,f American shares,
bonds, or stacks is made from a Eu
ropean to an A merican holder.
One leakage, however, should be
stopped quickly. We notv pay
8300,000,000 a year for transporta
tion of American passengers and
goods in ships owned by foreigners.
The Elkms shipping bill should be
passed at once.
The total value of United States
commerce during the. last year was
1,811,000,000. Compared with the
preceding twelve months, our im
ports increased SC 1,000,000 and our
exports $91,000,000. So that it
ngain is made plain that a judiciously
arranged protective tariff enlarges
our foreign commerce as well as our
home market. Another circumstance
is worthy of nqte. Although the
Wilson tariff was lower and less pro
tective than the Dingley measure,
the value ot goods imported tree of
duty during 1897 was greater than
during 189G.
Wo are moving forward fast.
Money circulates more freely, the
demand for labor is greater, the qual
ity of woolen goods sold is better,
tbo use of shoddy is less, the liquida
tion of mortgages is more general,
the purchasing power of the people
The Finansial Chronicle has just
$58,900,000, or six per cent, on
159,000 miles of road, and this in
spite of a decrease of 1 ,200,000 in j
the first six months. This is most
emphatic proof of wonderful, recov
ery during the last six months of
1897. Another evidence of activity
is the increased pig-iron production,
which has risen to 1 ,000,000 tons per
month, or at the rate of 12.000,000
tons yearly, compared with $10,500,
000, the largest previous annual
output. Last week orders for 100,-
000 tons of steel rails were placed by
the Pennsylvania railroad ; and good
authorities say that orders for nearly
1,000,000 tons for 1898 have already
been booked. Car and locomotive
works are well supplied with orders,
and the outlook for the iron trade in
1S9S is exceptionally good.

V. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111.,
"Chief," says: "We won't keep house
without Dr. King's .New Diecovery for
consumption, coughs and colds. Ex
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we used Dr,
King's New Diecovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in our home, as
in it we have a certain and sure cure
for congliB, whooping cough, etc." It is
idle to experiment with other remedies,
oven it they are urged on you as just aa
good as Dr. King's New Discovery. They
are not as good, because this remedy has
a record of cures ami besides is guaran
teed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial
