ENCOURAGING H SOUTH.-We noticed
lately in that ably conducted paper, the
Baltimore Ecenmg Bulletin, a statistical
article upon the decrease of property value
in the North, and increased wealth in the
old slave-holding States since 1870. While
In Pennsylvania and other Northern States,
the aggregated value Of property has de-
creased hundreds of millions, the resources
of the South and Southwest, have increased
beyond conception, Notwithstanding the
great depression and unsettled condition at
tendant upon an entire change In their social
and labor systems. The indomnitable energy
OF the Southern people has led them into
paths OF industry and 'economy-sure roads
to prosperity. They have seen the necessity
OF improving their lands, giving less atten.
ton to special crops, such as cotton and to-
bacco; diversifying their crops; stock rails
ing fruit growing, and last, not least, max
ing investments in manufacturing at home
what they need, as we'll as working up the
raw material ct cotton and tobacco, not alone
tor home consumption but for export. These
are the great causes which already have
produced the startling results above stated.
The South has also been forced by her pow
erty, to grow her corn and other breadstuHs.
and to a great extent her own meats. whereby
a vast amount is added to her substantial
wealth, and saved the expenditure OF mil
lions OF dollars in other States annually to
procure these articles of necessary food for
her people and her cattle and horses.
