RESOURCES OF THE SOUTH.

Ina very happy oratorical effort
before the recent convention to
promote Southern trade develop
ment, held at the fifth Avenue
Hotel, in New York City, Secretary
of Interior, Hoke Smith spoke in
brief, as follows;
IF you can place the resources
of the south before all other por-
tions of this country and before
foreign countries, great benefit
must come to all those who have
southern interests and southern in
Vestments, I am one of those who
believe that the south is to be one
of the richest portions of this union
Applause.
With the conservatism and re-
sources and enthusiasm to be found
in the South, you have a force at
home that cannot fail to build up
your section. But when the true
conditions are appreciated here and
abroad, then you will receive an i'm
petus from outside which will place
the south in few years in a posi-
ton of greater progress and de
velopment than will be found in any
other portion of the Union, [Great
applause,
To-day we have no race problem
in the south, but the white man and
the colored man work side by side
in peace. Today the presence Of
the colored man is no obstacle to
immigration to the south. APP
plause, =.
TT should be understood that we
have millions of acres in the south,
but that only one fifth of the area
is under cultivation. 1t should be
known that the balance of these
lands can be purchased at low rates
What an opportunity is offered for
homeseekers to find profitable in
vestment in the south!
"The mineral resources through
out the south are more numerous
than in any other part of the coun-
try, but have hardly begun to be
developed. They offer honest, sub
stantial returns, not speculative re-
turns, for we do not want specula-
ton, but good, honest industry.
Applause.
Passing to our manufacturing
industries, it should be known that
through all the hard times the cot
ton men have continued their bust
ness without discharging their men
or failing to pay dividends"
He remarked also that the eli
mate of the south was often entire
ly maligned.

WHEAT AND FLOUR.

Comparatively few persons are
aware of the remarkably large in
crease in the worlds wheat acreage
during the past twenty years,
Within that time the production of
wheat in this country has risen
from 230, 100000 bushels, the yield
Of 1873, to 611,787O0O in 1891.
During the same period tremen-
dous increase has also been made in
the worlds supply by the enlarged
acreage in India and the opening up
Of vast wheat belt in the Argen-
tine Republic,
The fall in price of wheat within
ten years has been 80 per cent, but
it is evident that the cost Of pro-
duction has also been greatly de-
creased by the opening of vast
areas of new and cheap lands
in the west and the introduc-
ton of labor-saving machinery.
While it is conceded that there
is no profit in raising wheat at the
present market price it is reasona-
bly, certain that the dollar bushel
mark will never be reached again
unless in case Of crop failure OF
large proportions extending all over
the world. Experts are of the
opinion that there is more money
in raising wheat at 80 cents a bush
ell at the present time, than there
was ST. 80 per bushel in 1888,
