signs OF Progress.

II cotton was king before the civil
war. what shall we say respecting it
to-day! In 1880 the cotton crop
amounted to 976,S45 bales. In the
year 1880 we have grown nearly six
million bales. The greatest crop be-
fore the war was 4,S6l .292 bales.
Last year we produced 5, 074, 900 bales.
Free labor has produced in the fifteen
years since the close of the war g..
600, 900 more bales than were pro-
duced in the fifteen years by slave
labor preceding the war. At the
same time the crop has become more
valuable. From 1889 up to 1850.
the average price of middling cotton
was 81 cents per pound. From 1868
to 1870, the price has averaged 22ls
cents. If the South had no other
crop than cotton, it would become
enriched by it in the course of time;
but it is u country Astounding in great
natural advantages, and time cannot

The adags that .'it is an III wind that

spring by o tide Of immigration from the
old world to our shores unexampled in
history. The New York Graphic, with It's
accustomed enterprise, furnished one day
last week an interesting column Of immi-

deduced that not less than half q million
