The Growth of the South.
New York Herald, EdItoriaL


Statistics are said to be dull and stupid.
That may be true as general thing, but
when you take an inventory of your pro-
perty and find That you are worth just
three times as much as you were ten years
ago then figures become more fascinating
than poetry and more thrilling than ora
tory.
The South will back us up in these state
ments When it pulled itself together
after the war it found that it had nothing
but bankruptcy and pluck as capital IN
trade. Its motto was, The past is no.
where; the future is everywhere" and 1t
drew its belt one hole tighter and started
in the race.
The statistics which represent its pro-
gress are as exhilaratlng and cheering as
old wine. It's coal output twenty years
ago was about two million tons; now it Is
nearly eighteen million tons. In 1880 it
thought it was rushing along at break
neck speed because it had erected mills on
its streams and manufactured one hun
bred and eighty thousand bales Of the cot
ton it had raised, but in 1890. only ten
years later, it manufactured five hundred
thousand bales and made contracts for
more'mills.
Before the war the sleepy negro lay in
the sun on top of iron-mines whose value
was only suspected. Agriculture absorbed
the peoples attention and they let the ne
gro sleep on. Now the mines are worked,
the bonanza has been uncovered, dreams
of wealth have become an inspiration; tho
roar of the forge, the hum of the ms
chinery are heard everywhere, and old
PENNSYLVANIA is beginning to tremble in
her boots as she surveys her vigorous and
daring rival.
The South has rolled up its slesves and
proposes to be rich again--richer than
ever. 1t has all the natural resources
which attract capital and enterprise.
Young men from the North on the lookout
for career are making investments there,
helping to develop the country, and they
always receive warm welcome. The tides
of population kept apart so long are
mingling their waters, and unless the poll
ticians raisea row there won't be any
North or any South twenty years from
now, and in their stead we shall have a
united, contented. and prosperocs coun-
try.
Therefore hang the politicians and let
the good work 20 on.
