REIGN OF KING COTTON.
Why 1t Became Supreme In the South
Immediately After the War.

Why 1t Became Supreme In the Sout0
Immediately After the War.
Promising as was the industrial adj
vance of the south prior to the war it
was in its agriculture that the chief in
tcrests of the people were conferred,
says the Engineering Magazine. Here
was displayed an energy as great as
that which opened up to civilization
the vast prairies of the west; here was
a well-rounded growth which neither
the south nor any other part of the
country has been able to duplicate since
the war. Cotton was indeed king, but
it was not such an absolute monarch as
it has been since 1865 nor as grain has
been in the west. Instead of being the
main crop of the south it was largely
surplus crop. The south did not ther
have it's 'smokehouse and corn crib IN
the west"-this was one of the disasters
of the war-but it produced its own
corn, wheat and bacon. The wal
changed these conditions. 1t left such
universal poverty that men were com.
PEELED to grow cotton alone, because the
crop would be mortgaged before it was
planted for enough at least to secure a
bare living for the planter while he
waited for it to mature. On no othe!
crop could advances be secured in this
way. When the crop had been gathered
and turned over to tho merchant who had
been carrying" him, and out of its
proceeds the debt for goods bought on
Notwithstanding interest and commits
sions-had been paid, the farmer had
nothing left. AS the next season came
around he was again compelled to mort
gage his crop in advance to the man to
whom he was already in debt. 1t was
"a condition and not a theory" that con-
frOnted the farmers of the south and
necessarily it has taken years for them
to gradually work out of it. Moreover,
The negroes, intoxicated with free

JAPANESE STATISTICS.
The Population Of Japan IL Rapidly I
cre8sing.


cressing.
Mr.. Ono, Japanese statistician, has
just published some interesting figures
concerning the remarkable increase Of
population in that country during tn
present reign, and especially since 1872.
In January, 1872, the population was
SO, Ill 900: in December. 1885,, it had in
creased to 40, O7O, 900. Since 1887 the an
nual rate of increase has, been thirteen
in every 1000, SO that, if this date is
preserved, the population will double
itself in IS years. In England the rate
Of increase is 1872 per 1000, while in
most European countries it is between
six and nine, and in France and Spain
much lower: Mr.. Ono points out that
the number of births in Japan is lower
than in most civilized countries, except
France, and that the number of illegiti-
mate children is smaller there than in
European states. He therefore at
tributes the great increase of the popu-
lation to the development of wealth
since the restoration and to q decrease
in the death-rate among children.
From the tables which he gives, he in
ferS that the national wealth has
doubled in Japan in the last ten years,
md he shows that the increase in the
population has been greatest in the
pirc. and lccst III Ike central part-a
phenomenon due t., migration from the
central provinces.
