As things are now i'll the southern
states the man does not live that can
make money in farming there. The
price of cotton has dropped for quarter
of century with regularity that
eliminates the element of chance and
points to some law of markets that is
out Of the reach of fertilizers or any de-
vice of agriculture. 1t is this law that
the planters are looking for.
There is fine spirit of scientific dis
covery abroad in the southern states. If
it does not amount to great intellec-
tual awakening, then the signs that
have always attended popular move
ments do not apply i'll this instance.
1t is the manifest destiny of the south
to proclaim some cardinal principles of
political economy in the near future. 1t
might seem extravaganza to say that the
hope Of the nation rests with the south,
but i'll these days of political and COM
mercial CONSERVATION much more ex-
travagant things are ahoat in the prints.
In working out the destiny of the south
the problem of the nation itself may in
deed be solved. There are qualities in
the character of the south that will in
evitably bring these people to the front.

niles to Fremont "to defend the lives and
proI erty of the Americans" he refused all
aid and ordered the ship commanders of
his fleet to obey to the letter all treaty stip-
ulat ions between the United States and
Mexico Fortunately the spirit of the
American immigrant population and of
the navy subordinates who came in contact
with them was too strongly in favor OF
United States action to permit the case to

the heroes of the hour to all but the native
Mexicans and the French and English set
tiers, who favored English protection. Ad-
miral Seymours fleet was known to be
sailing up the coast to interfere in the Cal
ifornia business, and n days delay might
bring n third power into the field. The
situation was presented to the commodore
hv enc after another of his subordinates,
and a few hours after his chilling instruc'
tons to his captains to observe treaty stip.
ulations he recalled them and ordered the
stars and stripes hoisted on the Mexican
custom house at Monterey by detach-

of his faith in Frcmont's official action

/ that he did nothing to sustain Fremont on
