SOuth's Awakening.

The Manufacturers Record has
been collecting figures which de-
monstrate that the south today rep
Hesents a population, an agricul-
tural and commercial activity and
general prosperity equivalent to
the totals of all the rest of the
country north, east and west-in
1880. Except III manufactured
products and i'll the value OF as
sessed property, the south prac-
tically meets, or far surpasses,
every total of the combined north
east and west of 1890. Even as TO
these it has six times as much cap
ital in manufacturing and twice
as great assessed vaIue Of property
as in that year.
The south last year made 5, 100, .
900 tons Of pig iron. against 1000, :
900 for all the rest OF the country

6,244,O00 tons Of coke, against
5000, 900, produced u, 495, 900
barrels of oil against $4,000, 600.
The south capital invested i'll
