The questions which brought on the
war of 1868 are a dead issue, and
there are few on either side OF the old
sectional line who would desire to re-
viye them. When Calhoun was pro-
claiming that the south would always
be a newer of wood and a drawer OF
water for the north If they remained
in political union, he had in mind a
condition which disappeared forever
with the vanishing of slavery. 1t is
only a few months ago tina Governor
Ellerbe. of South Carolina. declared
that his state was rapidly gaining o N
Massachusetts as a cotton manufac-
turing center, and pointed out that at
a time in the very near future it would

community. The United States has re-
Gently passed Great Britain in iron
production, and a large part of the gain
which has put this country in advance
of all the rest of the world in this par
ticular is due to the output of the
southern states. Calhoun, McDutfie.
Yancey and the rest of the southern
statesmen of forty Or fifty years ago
would be strangers in their own land
if they could come back and visit the
scenes with which they were familiar.
De Bow himself, who. after the over
throw Of slavery had clarified his po-
~Iitical vision, could see farther into the
future than any other southern man OF
his time. would be amazed at the
changes which have come in his region
in the thirty years which have passed
since his death. The Industrial and So

Butler, of North Carolina, and Gallery,
of Louisiana. 1t will be observed that
there Is no politics in this question,

1t Is known that when Alexander H.
Stephens, shortly after his election as
vice president of the southern cOnfed-

that government was laid on slavery,
he did much to turn the public opinion
