tations in similarly reduced condi-
ton, their sale was almost impossible
at any price. Necessity then forced
them to return to the plantations, so
that by personal supervision they
could be brought back to their form
er productive power; but these evil
and improvIdent processes had in the
meantime kept the South for several
years in an extremely depressed con
dition.
The war had been ended for a good
while before this change OF views on
the part of the planters and owners of
the soil came about, but it is general
ly admitted that when they realized
that they must go to work them
selves or lose their lands, q brighter
future was foreshadowed for the
South, and from that time dates the
beginning Of her return to prosperity.
Either by inheritance or purchase,
many of the plantations fell into the
hands of younger men, and new blood
was thus brought in, being reinforced
also by the new system that then
came in vogue of white men renting
farms. The younger class Of plant
ers were found much more able to
manage the freedmen in the then dis
organized condition of labour than
the old slave-owners. But the section
was still a sufferer from heavy debts
and the absence of money, and cot
ton was the only crop upon which
loans could be raised. Thore were
few banks, and tho business was al
most universally conducted by fact
ors at the shipping ports. Neither
factor nor bank could loan on any
other security than cotton or mules,
and then the advance was only made
on the pledge of having the handling
of the owners cotton. To secure in
anticipation Of the crop the necessary
provisions, mules, or farming tools and
fertilizers, the planter had to pledge
his cotton to be delivered at thetactors
storehouso in the autumn. Whatev-
err the amount of the advance loan,
it had to be paid in full within the
year, so that the factor could make
new advances for the following sea-
son. Cotton being the nearest sub
stitute for money, the planter covered
every possible acre with cotton that
he could care for, and he raised the
smallest amounts of corr and food
that he thought he could get on with,
having little or nomeat, and trustingto
the next springs advances rather than
to the farm to supply enough food to
carry his household through the next
season. This steady cotton-growing
soon exhausted the soil, and then, in
stead of ploughing deeper or extern
sively fertilizing, the reduced yield
was made up by clearing more land
and putting it in cotton the second
year. The South thus presented the
astonishing feature for an agricultural
country of being an importer of corn
and meat. Vast amounts of food went
from the West to the South, and the
planters contented themselves practi-
cally with raising cotton, tobacco,
sugar, and rice, and then trading their
crops for food and clothing. The
factors got all the profit; the planters

made during the last decade, as de-
monstrated by the figures of the cen
sus Of 1880, have been the subject Of
approving comment on both sides of
the Atlantic. The South, which the
Rebellion had plunged into a veri-
table Slough Of Despond, was found,
to the surprise of the entire country,
to have made a quiet yet most won
derful progress in recovering from
depression. "Only lands and debts,'
impressiyely SAID a Southern delegate
at the recent bankers Convention at
Saratoga, "the South had left at the
close of the war" Yet her people
ultimately went to work to develop
the one and get rid Of the other, and
after several years Of intelligent de-
votion to these great duties they have
achieved results which are as surpris-
ing to themselves as to the rest Of the
world. Thus has the abolition Of
slavery, with the downfall Of the sys-
TENS Of agriculture that it n%urtured,
been Of the greatest advantage to the
South. No country on the globe has
undergone a more complete yet com
paratiyely peaceful and almost unno-
ticed revolution in social affairs than
the Southern States since 1866. The
close of the Rebellion found the
South stripped of everything but its
land. and owing a vast individual
indebtedness-besides that of Che
States-which private debts had
mainly been incurred upon the credit
based upon the property value of the
slaves. In the largest Southern
State Georgia-this value reached
$4,000, 900. The abolition of sla-
very wiped out the security, but left
the debts, and the cessation OF hostili-
ties found the South exhausted, half
starved, and bankrupt, nationally
and Individually, with the freedmen
practically the masters, and led into
all sorts of political excuses by the
INSCRIPTIONS whites who assumed
their leadership,
The earlier efforts at Southern poll
teal reconstruction are familiar
abroad, but of these | do not propose
now to write, They have not been
pleasant topics in American history,
and, in fact, they rather retarded than
advanced Southern regeneration. 1t
has been the more recent social and
agricultural revolution to which that
section owes its rehabilitation. After
the restoration Of peace, the high
price of cotton induced the planters
to cultivate as much of it as they
could, and as the negroes new condi-
ton put the control of his labour out
of the power of his former mas
ter. it became the almost invariable
custom at first to rent the plantations
to the freedmen and try to get, if pos
sible, as large a revenue as anterior
to the Rebellion, and without person
al labour. Many Of the planters re-
moved to the cities, leaving the entire
management of their lands to the
freedmen, and so long as the cotton
rent was paid they cared little for the
methods pursued in farming. The
negroes, free of all control, worked
immense tracts of land, scratching it
over with the smallest ploughs, using
little or no fertilizers, never resting
