 Great IndustriaIActivityP Prevalent.
 The following article from the Tallapoosa Journal is handed us for publication by a New Haven gentleman who is well acquaint ed with the Anniston section spoken of be- low, and he adds his testimony in eorrobor- ation of the sentiments expressed:
 ''We have repeatedly of late predicted, says the Manufacturers Journal that this winter would witness the greatest industrial activity ever known in the South, and that we were entering upon an era of unpreceden- ted prosperity. A careful study of all con- ditions led us to this belief, and to feel sure of seeing it realized, it mattered not how the election went. for we were confident that if the Democratic party WAS successful there would be enough protection members of Congress to prevent any radical change Tn the tariff laws, and hence, while capital ists might hold off for a while, yet that they would soon feel safe in making large investments; and if the Republicans regained power there could not, we believed, be any danger of interference with the local govern ment in the South such as many had feared, and the settlement of the tariff question would at once induce heavy investments by northern men in southern manufactures. The election is over and the close business inter ests of the North and South, which are rap idly drawing the two sections into closer union than ever before, would prevent any action on the part of the now dominant party in the South, looking to the injury of the South, even if the personal character of the PresidentAelect did not afford partial guar antee of this.
 Since the election we are in receipt of many letters and interviews giving the opinions of leaders of the South's industrial develop ment, men of both political parties, and al- most without exception they take the ground kI1ok a1o of rri11 wise retard the progress of this section, and many claim that by giving increased eonfi- dence in the stability of protective tariff, it will draw many millions of northern money to the South for investment in manufactures. leading citizen of Kentucky writes to us as follows:
 q cannot forbear saying to you that since the election has insured the protective policy agents for the sale of mineral lands report renewals of in doubt was settled The protective policy will be of incalcuable benefit to the South.''
 Col. John M. AcKleroy, the president of the Anniston City Land O., whose devotion to the south in the past we'll as in the present is well known, said in an interview:

No, don't think Mr. Harrison is hostile the south that he will be controlled by the bitter partisans of his party During recent trip talked with gentleman who had communicated with him on this very question, and it was his positive assurance tolerated by him; that many southerners living in New York, lifelong Democrats, Confeder- ate soldiers voted for Harrison believing that Mir. Clevelands policy against the best interests of the south It won't be years, but only few months before you'll see larger sums of northern money coming south for investment than ever before So, if our party is defeated, think country is safe and will prosper,'' These are but samples of what we are re- ceiving from all parts of the South, and es- pecially from the centers of industrial devel- opment We feel safe in predicting that we are entering upon the most wonderful era of prosperity ever dreamed of and that the mar vicious record of the last four years will be more than equalled by that of the coming fourn
