In his remarks Profiissor Shel'ton drew
attention' iirst of all to its actuai rank
affluence and eutn.niercial power among
the States of t'he Union aon! its growing
importance to the nations of the Old
World. The .thought of the whole world
was di peeled to .the problem of tlhe proph-
esy of the semi-tropic climes of the globe
and a uimversal choice and actual indi-
cation of the same by investments of for-
eign money ami immigration of people
from every oivilied nation lias given our
glorious Empire State the foremost place
in the countries of the New South.
