 writer says that the south,> which

 prospering under it even more rapid
 ly than the rest of the country The value of her cotton mills to-day is greater than that of all cotton mills of the country in 1880: her output of pig-iron is almost equal to that of the whole country in that year; her production of coal almost twice as great: of lumber almost as great. Nor has this been achieved at the cost of her agriculture. for her farm and plantation produce was but ten per cent less in value than that of the whole country in 1880. The value of all kinds of property in the south rose by s1,400.O0O,o0O in 1s00- 1905. The time cannot be far of when the south will cease to take counsel with the theoretical poli- ticians who plead and plan for her impoverishment, and seek for success sors to Jackson and Clay in her choice of senators and representa- lives.
