Exposition. has written letter to President
Harrison in response to his request for in
formation regarding the Industrial Con-
gress OF the South, in which he says: "The
South is developing rapidly. and her manu-
featuring possibilities cannot be exagger-
ated.> The Southern cotton-mills used last
year over 100000 Of the 100000 bales con-
sumed by the United States. In 1880 the
South took only 10000 bales. OF the
100000 tons Of iron produced last year the
South contributed 2,GOO, O,000, or more than
the entire production of the Union In 1860.
England fell behind our country last year
nearly one-f0urth in the amount Of iron
produced in Great Britain. The figures
given are approximately correct. The

the manufacture thereof afford profitable
fields for investment"
