The 'Peril of the Treaty. It is said with truth by the London Times, that even should the arbitration treaty fail in its present form, its good work will not be lost, since it has “edu- cated public opinion in both countries and even to some extent in all coun- The value of such a treaty de- pends less upon the feeling by. which it is supported. No treaty will prevent war if any nation prefers to fight, but the recognition of a code of good man- ners between nations, and of a rational mode of settling disputes, must do much to make war unpopular. The failure of the treaty will be a anirersal disappointment,but the world most stillmove on in the direction this treaty has poi-ntEd out, and whether, by formal diplomatic agreement or only by the indirect control of enlightened public sentiment, its principles must eventually prevail, because they are those of civilization, christianity, hu manity and of common sense. , Prosperity Moving Southward. Slavery limited the South to one vo- cation, agriculture, and the war and emancipation imvaerished the planters at thatsection. With the close of the war the South was bankrupt, its credit des- troyed, .its plantations fenceless, often 'With‘out buildings, and inviriably with- out a working force. Slavery had rendered all other forms of industrial development in the South impossible, andithe war instigated by slavery, not only wiped out slavery, but ruined the single industry to which slavery had, limited the country. The wai did not destroy any of the . great national wealth of this section, however, and with slavery out of the way, it became possible to open the coal mines of the South, establish blast furnaces to manufacture Southern ore into pig iron, build factories to manu- facture Southern cotton and to turn thelSouth’s immense forests of valu- a’bla timber into merchantable lumber. There were knotty social, political and economic q lestions to be solved, re- quiring some time, of course, but these are in gradual process of solution, and it has come to pass that within thirty years of the close of the war, the South has not only been recognized as the most-inviting field for the investment hat that in a period of great industrial depression it is the one section that is making all the timg. . Two statistical reports out of many are worth quotingin proof of this fact. The production oi pig iron from 1896 in the United States was 8,623,127 tons, a decrease of 823,181 tone from the year 3805. Of this amount the South, in which there was scarcely a blast fur- nace at the close of the war, produced 1,834,351 . tons, an increase of 182,000 t..-us over 1895. The whole country showed a heavy decline in pig iron production for the year, but the South made a distinct gain. The bank clear- ings tell the same story. The clearihgs or. the second week in January in the irn‘ote South, as compared with the corresponding week one year ago, show. a gain atti per' cent” while the Middle ' tates show a decrease of 2%, the Mid- dle Westerna decrease of nearly 115 and the PacificfiStates a decrease of 5 1-3 per cent. Only New England of the entire North showed any increase at all, and its increase was less than that of the South. In spite of past misfortunes and mis- takes and of the folly of its pretest po- li :cal leadership, which is doing what it can "to destroy all business confi dvnce, the great natural .wealth of the S :nth which was left untouched dur- ing slavery days is forcing that section to the front as the one place that pros- pi rs in bad times as wall as in gobd. 10’- if Quick Relief from Rheumatism. 7311'.
