The 1e,,lurrat.
The Old South.

Those who speak of the enterprise and
progress of he New Sonth as thing in
contrast with the spirit cf The Old South
are making display of their Ignorance,
as is sho sn by pamphlet from the pen
of Mr.. R H. Edmonds entitled, Facts
About the South"
THIS pamphlet shows that the southern
people werr among the first to begin the
manufacture of iron. 1t refers TO the
census of 1910 as showing ,ha, the manu-
facturei product of the Carolinas and
Georgia exceeded IN value and variety
thuse of all New England combined.
Coming down to 1850, the census shows
that the South had 2,335 miles of railroad,
while the New England ana Middle states
had 4,79S miles. In 1860 the mileage of
the South had increased to 1897, while
that of the New L, gland and Middle states
increased to $50. Thus the railroad
mileage of the South increateL S24 per
cent during this decade, while that of New
England and tbs Middle States were in
creasing 81 per cent,
During this decade the South's percent
age of increase in the product of mills for
flour and meal and lumber, ss we'll as in
ron furnaces and in cotton manufacturing,
was much grea,er than tEa' of the North.
The census of 1860, in addi ION TO show
ing tha, the South produced all the cotton,
rice, sugar and molasses If the country
showed that it produced 43 per cent of the
corn, &c per cent of the wheat, So per cent
of the tobacco, 81 per cent of the sweet
potatoes, 81 per cent of the honey, 7S per
cent of the peas and beans, q per cent Of
the wool. 6S per cent of the homemade
manufactures, 40 per cent Of the animals
slaughtered and had AZ per cent Of the live
stock and IS per cent of the cash farm
values. These figures show that il 1860
the South was the garden spot Of the coun-
try.
During the decade from 1850 20 1880 the
South increased in wealth l2S per cent,
while the New England and Middle states
were increasing 81 per cent In 1850 its
tax values were three quarters Of billion

and Middle states combined and 81, l00,-

Bear In Mind.

Democrats should bear two things in
mind just now. Oae Il that the divided
condition of the party, growing out Of the
conduct of four or five senators elected az
democrats, bu. who, when the crucial test
came, showed the cloven foot, deserted the
party. and went over 10 the sugar trust ant
its alley the republican PARTY, makes
almost certain that the patty will be defea {
ed ia the election to be held this fall. The
other thing to remember Is that 1894 is
not 1896.
No party has ever won on a general
revision of the tariff taking effect shortly
before the election. The country feels the
evi! effects of uncertainty, without time to
Sc: tbs gocd results of the change. In the
present instance, while the benefits of free
raw materials and reduced taxes could not
be exPeri:need before the early elections,
the shame of the exactions enforced by the
trust combinations was plain to all. The
Democrats have suffered both from the
delay and the disgrace.
Il is possible that continued and In
creased revival of prosperity may help the
party in some of the November elections,
particularly at the West, But the eauses
which kept Democrats in lsrge =umbers
from voting in Vermont and Maine arc
likely ,c produce similar results elsewhere
especially II the prevalent dissatisfaction
shall any where be aggravated by display
Of arrogan, bossism er the nomination Of
unfit candidates.
But the condition WILDE wholly Different
when the great battle Of 1890 shall come on.
The undcubted good effects of the measure
Of tariff reform secured will meanwhile give
object lessons in every family. There Is 8
goo1 chance that the eeious tax for tie
5ensfi, Of the Sugar Tius: may te repealed
The faithless representatives who be,raye ed
their party viii be repuiiaeed; the work
has already begun.
A proposed restoration of Mckinlsyisn
will. in all ikshood. be as crazy politics
in 1896 as would he the revival ct the
Force law. VIA, else will the Republicans
have to stand upoa.
