representative of the LIGHT called on Capt
c. S. BrOadbent, Il gentleman who is well and
favOrubly known in Western Texas and McXi-
co, and interviewed him on his recent trip east.
In answer to a question of route the Captain
answered. 81 took the southern line via New
Orleans Mobile, Montgomery and Nashville so
as to get birds eye view of section had
never visited
"CrOps are universally good from San Anto-
MO on to Philadelphia. | was told in Alabama
that for the first time In the history of that and
adjoining states enough corn will be raised for
home supply. That entire section is prosper
Gus, and has rich future Less cotton and
more corn is opening new era. In north Ala
bama as well as Tennessee and Georgia, the
attention of people is turned to developing iron
and coal interests, and immense iron works are
being built and towns springing up in Il here
tofOre wilderness: That country will divide
iron hOnOrs with Pennsylvania within twenty
years. These towns afford fine market for
farm produce, and thus encourage agricul-
ture. One line of business supports another,
and nut ual benefit follows"
"What effect has this manufacturing spirit on
the price of land!'
ENTIRELY beneficial. In South Alabama pine
lands can be bought for $l-25 per acre, but
constantly aIgmcnting in value, though in
many localities they are yet dirt cheap In
some parts of Tennessee good limestone lands
$50 in a few years. Water is good, fruit plen-
tifu and everything there to make rich coun-
try. The same class of lands in Eastern PENN
sylvania is worth 800 to $l5O.'
SIS not the timber of these pine lands val
uable?'
1T will be shortly, and consider pine land
Investment a good one. Even now near rail
of will no
after The rOsin and turpentine interests are
considerable: beside the land is worth for graz
ing twice the price asked, though for sheep the
grass is too coarse. But further in regard to
crops: saw no cotton to equal that Of Texas,
and no tobacco equal to that of Pennsylvania
Sugar and rice through Louisiana are yielding
heavily But the coyer pastures OF Iennes-
cotton mills will make poor crop there-nOt
more that Il good one will to our people. The
cotton factories of Georgia and Alabama are
paying as big dividends as their iron mills
"What effect will this manufacturing spirit
have on the politics of those statcs?''
"BOlIrbOnisln must go. a strong protective
party will DO created Every rolling mill makes
a hundred tariff votes, and every loom gives
voice to the policy of protection. AS nlanufac-
turing interests increase Il higher order of in
telectuality follows, and delnagOgues lose
their power. Wealth will develop in the south
even more rapidly than in the north, and the
people will learn the secret OF New EnglandS
