and others, contribute TO this weeks is
sue OF the Manufacturer Record their
views upon the effect OF the Atlanta eX-
position upon the south and country at
large, ana upon the continuation Of this
good work through the proposed Balti-
more Southern exposition of lS7.
Secretary smith points out how the At
lanta exposition has attracted the atteE-
ton of the country and how a still larger
exposition at Baltimore would deeply i'm
press upon all sections the great oppor-
tunties for investment in tfe south.
Secretary Herbert says: "the material
resources of the south, as shown by the
Atlanta exposition, are amazing even to
a southern man. II Atlanta has been able
10 DO so much Baltimore, with its half a
million Of people. ought to be able to
carry forward the work of southern de-
velopment through an exposition on a
still larger scale"
Assistant Secretary Of Agriculture Dab
hey says: The cheap lands of the south,
year, offer the finest opening in the world
at the present time for intelligent and in
dustrious farmers. The political and in
dustrial conditions that have rendered
the southern people so Indifferent to i'm
migration, ana that have to certain eX-
tent kept other people from going into
that country, have passed away and an
immense invasion of the south is jESs
dawning. The Atlanta exposition, coming
as il did during a period of hard times,
IS for the most part a brilliant success.
If IL has failed in any point. IL is In not
securing more general and enthusiastic
cooperation on the part of the southern
states. and II may not therefore. present
the resources of the south with that
completeness which is desirable. and
which would have been possible had all
the southern states followed the example
of Georgia and Alabama and made the
most of this magnificent opportunity to
make their riches known to the world. -
The Baltimore exposition. DR. Dahney
thinks, will, therefore, afford the south
"A great opportunity to make up whatever
may have been lacking in the Atlanta eX-
position"
President Proctor OF the civil service
commission, says: The time is approach
ing when the southern states will begin
to export iron and manufactured cotton.
The exposition at Baltimore will be the
best opportunity hitherto offered for
southern exhibits of minerals. because IT
Is IN such easy reach of the class of men
most Interested in such things"
Gen. Avery says: I'VE are entering on
great era in which the south is at las {
coming to the front as a mighty factor.
and this section will look to the Balt-
more exposition to keep up its evolution of
material progress. Atlanta has drawn the
worlds attention to the souths claims,
and shown that the United States is de-
veloping unreasonable capacity for the
growth of international trade supremacy.
and to Baltimore belongs the duty of car
rylng on this supreme apotheOsis of bur
long depressed section, so affluent in ma
tive wealth."
