as already shown, the value, per inhabitant, of the whole, production of these States in 1850 was $85. from the foregoing statement it is seen that the surplus Products which these States raised for exportation in 181850, amounted to $43 per head of the blacks.
But the most remarkable feature of this table is the increase of value per Slave, which it gives in the export production of the South, counting only the five leading staples of exportation.
While this vacrease in the value of farm lands of the South has been equally as striking.
According to the valuations of the census in 1850 and the assessments of eight of the Southern States in 1858 this increase was most remarkable.
