The Future of the South.

In speaking of the South's brilliant
outlook, Wendell Philips is reported
to have said recently The hand:
writing is so plain on the wall that none
but a fool ueed mistake it, New Eng
land is doomed just as sure as natural
laws will produce fixed results. New
England has no soil worth mentioning,
and her wealth has all been derived
from manufactures. These are grad
ually leaving her, and eventually they
will go I; some to the West, but most to
the South, where the advantages for
profitable manufacturing are all locat-
cd. Tie coal and iron in the South are
easily gotten at and inexhauslible IN
amount, and the iron mills, foun-
dries aud machine shops can go to them
better than they can be carried to the
shops. Then the cotton and woolen
mills must go there, for the raw mate
rials are, and are to be. produced there
most cheaply, uniformly and better.
This, of itself, is no small matter. AS
the South grows stronger aud stronger,
the wealth, culture and power of the
country will be centered there, until
she will become, not alone the mistress
of America. but the central empire oi
the woild.n

The Democracy has every reason to
congratulate itself on the result, which
will give it control of the legislation OF
