of increase Of manufactured product
was 4o.72; North Cardinals 1oo.92.
Massachusetts, farm lands decreased in
value 12.76; North Carolina's S increased
in value 1868.
He said, "the lesson to be learned
to be followed in the future, was one
which would lead to the development
Of the individual strength, the
individual thought of every citizen of
the State, especially of the laboring
masses of the State, the freedom Of all
the people, the education of all the
people,"
Speaking of the future growth of the
section, he said that much was to be
expected from the immigration of home
seekers, much was to be expected from
the investment of foreign capital in
Southern manufacturing industries !;
that the people Of the South would
welcome both and treat both with
perfect fairness, that while the South
would always revere and honor its
dead heroes and statesmen it was as
loyal to the Uuion as any portion of
the Union, and he rejoiced to know
that from one end of the South to the
other condemnation had come for the
foolish speeches uttered one week ago
at Richmond. He said, "the people
of the South should be sectional with
out anlmosity, but sectional in de-
termination by individual effort and
enthusiasm to make great section'
He urged "the sectionalism of the
broadest patriotism, the sectionalism
of the deepest love-
Referring to the local agencies which
would develop the section, he said,
that the immediate work must be done
by the masses Of the people that the
leaders could only furnish inspiration
and encouragement. Their work was
to be in the development mentally and
morally Of the masses. Therefore it
would not be the lawyers and Judges
who in person would develop the State,
nor would it be the statesmen, for it
was utterly impossible to increase the
actual values by changing the mode of
measuring values. You can not increase
quantity by decreasing the size of a
bushel measure nor can you increase
value by depreciating the worth of the
currency through which value is
estimated. The direct agencies of
future development would be the
teachers in the school houses, the
farmers whose devices for the utilza-
ton of their soil teach lessons of thrift
and production to their neighbors, the
manufacturers and machinists who
change the raw material of the section
into the fabric ready for use, the
gcologists and miners who uncover the
hidden resources of untold mineral
wealth. In this connection he
mentioned that one mountain in
Western North Carolina had within
it the ore for the creation of sufficient
steel to equip the railroads of the
world. He stated that the mineral
resources were more varied than those
OF any other State in the Union, with
possibly the exception of Colorado.
He then turned to the young men
of the college and asked what part
they would take in the future growth
OF their State. He said that from
careful study Of the resources of the
country, he could advise young men
seeking homes to go South, and he
could advise the young men of North
Carolina to stay at home.
1t was great mistake to suppose
that the climate of the South intertered
with the opportunity for mental and
material development. 1t had not
been the climate which in the past had
checked the South. Greece and Rome
with climate warmer than our own
led the world in development. Their
fall was due to the fact that a few
became rulers over the many and the
independence and strength of the
masses were destroyed. They were
practically in bondage. Their courage
and their manhood ceased. Greece
and Rome felt from conditions simular
to those which We have overcome.
He urged that the exceptional ad
vantages OF the young men who were
allowed the opportunity to pass
through the University of North Caro-
lima should make them go to their
homes with an inspired zeal to let
their lives shine upon their com
munities, devoting their time unself-
ishly to the growth and development
and wise service of their fellow citizens
living around them.
He closed by urging the cultivation
on the part of the young men, of
virtue, courage, industry and truth ;
not for the benefit of the young men
themselves alone, but for the good
they could accomplish in the service
of their State and in the service of
their fellow men, the great object after
all of material development being to
furnish universal opportunity for the
mental, moral and spiritual growth of
man.
