Inquiry was made at the State department this

Ryan would not return to that country. The
official addressed said he did not believe there
was word OF truth in it; he had not heard of

He said, however, that the minister would be
communicated with and the facts learned.
Another official of the department stated
later that several days ago Minister RYAN had
laughed with him over the report that he

that the report was without foundation,

The Wealth and Population of
the South.


the South.
The increase in the wealth OF
the South has been marvellous
since 1880. The TTadesman gives
a valuable table showing the tax
able wealth and population OF
each state. The exhibit is COM
piled from reports sent thisexcel-
lent journal. by the Auditors OF
the states named. The aggrega-
ton of the wealth ofall the south-
crn states is $3, 6S1, 740,954. 1t
is true that the increase in this
wealth for the year just closed is
estimated, but it is believed to be
correct, Texas stands first in
point OF wealth and she is put
down aspossessing $500, 900, 900
in taxable property, Kentucky
is the second of these states in
wealth anu is valued at $685.
1882 The other states are
rated as follows: Virginia $780,
SCI, 900, Georgia S357,167, 45S;
Tennessee $500, 495, $50; Ala.
hama $500, $3.50, 100; North Car
dina 1922 100000; Louisiana
S213, 600, 200; Arkansas Sill
900, 900: South Carolina $162,-
100000, Mississippi S145, $780,
712. and Florida 81 900, 900. In
1876 the entire wealth of the
south was $2,257,537 ,46S, and
it now aggregates the enormous
sum OF S3,6S1,740,945. The
whole popule ton OF the south in
1880 was 4,44J,G73 it is now
17,O1S,551.
These figures present an inter
esting study and the TradesnEtn
remarks that they Indicate in I'M
mistakable language the actual
progress OF the south in recent
years. There is no guess work OF
would be estimates in thecXhibit,
but actual figures as officially
given, 10y the Auditors and Comp
trOllers OF each OF the states, TAX
en from the tax books themselves.
The percentage OF increase Oieach
OF the states shows that the
growth was not confined to any
one section of the south, and the
mere fact that the smallest in
crease in the list should exceed
thirty millions IN eight years, and
the largest exceed three hundred
and forty millions, is a most con.
vincing proof OF the phenomenal
growth. The miscellaneous in.
duStries Of the south that have
been established and projected
are indeed marvellous. They are
located in every section OF the
south and are being worked with
the most satisfactory results. We
believe capitalists can realize
more from investments made in
south than in any other portion
OF the Union. The lands are fer.
tile and cheap and there is miner
