I.oiig at; s In nee I lie events of I lie !.?*l t.venty years in this country will give historians anil political economists material for study an 1 comment. The most astounding facts have om - in natural an I simple ways, an I hy plain ami easy processes which no prophetic tongue foretold a I which the most profoiiml pliilosoplty and k -enest human iniiiilioii failed to fore see. The letter of Frank Wilkcsoii, elsewhere, although containing many errors, points to one marvellous direct result of tho war. and gives a hint of the key to an anomaly ? the anomaly presented hy a neonle increasimr in moo.01.1.11* ratio iii consequence of living butchered, gaining undreamed of \\ealili because tiny wore robbed an 1 plundered, rising to great power nn I glory resulting directly from their own subjugation nn 1 humiliation The anomaly contains greater won lers than those : While the people who were killed, conquered fttid trample 1 nre prospering tin 1 rising, the people who conquered nre losing wealth :tu>l power liecause of their victory. The solution and e* pi anal ion seems clear w lien wo have seen it, and we wonder that n<.tI\ foresaw it. The South his heen heaten into prosperity because she was heaten from slavery mid from the narrow ideas and restricted channels of industry that tieeompaiiied slavery and were part of it. The war forced men from the farms to the shops an I mills, n tide self reliance and self help the only refuge from starvation, nnd impelled us to seek new values to replace the lest slaves, tin I new methods to live. It virtually forced us io the in luslry for which we have every advantage- -the manufacture of our own cottou. I,ah >r is comparatively cheap with us now because living is cheap, and living is cheap because land is cheap, abundant and fertile, and the climate mild. That advantage, as Me.
