(Memphis Commercially

1t IS paluIul TO near anQ see CDo
expressions of despOudency now
nearly universal, aud l fondly
nope, with the kind aid OF the
Commercial, tO lift th,. glpom from
the faces, the hearts and the homes
of some.
AS far az the South is conc rn-
ed, the ills are exAg-rated. Nj ,n-
ufacTures and commerce ar. suffer
iug, but this means the NOrtu.
There ara the great financial cen.
ters; there most of our q anciaI
reports are formulated; there IL
nearly all of the .ctual suif.ring
and we aie, almost without caus..,
echoing heir groaus and rtf'crlng
their dOIeful apprehensi"ns. The
South is, by an immense p'rpO :
derance, agricultural; and IT 1

Now, let us apply this test ia
the South. Let us forget for awhile
that there Ia such a thing az con-
gress, tariff, currency or financial

homes of the Southern States.
What do we findf Crops of cottOn,
tobacco, corn, rice, sugar, wheat

dear, dOlrtul friend would you ASK

The aggregate product or this year
of vegetables 0f all kInd., fruits oi
all kinds, fowls aud stock of al
kinds, has never been surpassed

Aud as consequence $500 900,

10 carry US over nsxt year thai
was necessary last year. l wit
venture to aver that there IL not 4
country on earth today, of any
thing like equal extent, shat 10 SO
happily situated as this.
OF course, everybody feels that
there is u shortage, aud some will
feel it ST. verely. But, fortunately
in the Sbuth it is a shortage oi
money rather than of tho neccSsi
ties of lite. We are not like our
brethren in the Ea~t-the Mort a.

business, if rich, depends on cast
