THE COMMERCIAL VALUE or TIE SOUTH.
he 'New York Herald" snys editorially:
ell might tho North buckle on all its
armor to keep the South in the Union, for,

patriotic sentiment Of maintaining the gran.

Of our commercial wealth and moro val.
liable to the North than ever India was to
England. According to tho latest statistics
tho value of Southern exports last year was
over two hundred and fourteen millions, while
that of tho North was a little less than
two hundred millions. There is this
great difference, too, in the nature Of tho
exports of the two sections, that a large
portion Of those of tho North is in the precious
metals, which in a measure impoverishes the
country, while those Of tho South are tho
products of tho soil and bring US gold or. it's
equivalent. Cotton, of course, is tho great
staple, though tobacco is a valuable product,
and sugar, rice and other things form q part
Of tho exports. Tho,domostio trade Of the
South is still more valuable to the North, for
it supplies our manufacturers with tho raw
material tnoy need and takes back Northern
manufactures in return. Those great and
valuable exports and this vast trade, too, have
beon developed again 30 soon after the South
had been desoIated by war. This not only
shows the surprising wealth Of The soil, but
the astonishing energy Of character and roou,
perative power Of the people. Yet tits this
