JUDGED mind is forced by this remark So change the
policy of our government to destroy the American
manufacturer, and the British monopoly which
the tariff system has undermined aud the effect will be
the augmentation Of the price Of these fabrics to the
suILer, thus again rendered entirely dependent the
foreign manufacturer, who, by his own confession
prepare them for the market cheapy his Amer
lean competitor. And while compelled thus To pay
higher price for the manufactured article the cotton
planter will be subjected al the time to oss by the
foreign duty IN the raw cotton the repeal Of which will
never be even suggested, as it would not be, it,
desirable as it is measure to the govern

It's eonnnancea matter Of no consequence to the British
manufacturer.
The facts stated by Mr. Gregg and other speakers a,
the Manchester meeting. showing the rapid progress of
the American cotton Manufacture are equally astonishing
and gratifying 10 those who without having hal their
attention directed particularly this subject feel deep
~ interested in the advance of his country ia those in
dnsirla pursuits which constitute her most inpurlan
source OF prosperity peace, and her shield Of defence
in time of war. In 1884, for example, the vain. Of
manufactured articles in America was 50 Cos ono and
in 1913 to upwards of$6. 900.OnG 81, was also known

'aIKets the triumph Of American ingenuity and enter
prise is equally decisive. In Bnenos Ayres, large

The increased quantity of cotton consumed BY The
American manufacturers was likewise adverlrd to-and
this is branch of the subject highly Interesting to the
cotton-grower as Illustrative OF The value of the home
market-a value far too lightly estimated by the uI,r.
opponents OF the Protective policy in the South Mr.
A. H. Wye stated that lle consumption Of cvtton in
the United States in 1912, which was YEAR of depres
sed prices and bad trade, was 2G7 $50 bales In The
present year 3S 900 baes but this was far from
being all the cotton consumed in America The returns
from New York only included what is consumed in the
Northern and Eastern States; the whole Southern and
Western manufactures were inc luded Tor the rra
son that the cotton consumed by these manufactures did
not enter orally into the receipts the ports as they
taken from the internal markets without ooino IN
the seaboard and the consumption there is stated to he
100000 bales, which brings up the consumption of A.

more american cotton than ,cas co lsmed in Erea
Britain in 1925, and than The cotton of all kinds
consumed inthat Kingdom ia 1902
These are interesting facts, which cannot ail to make
deep and salutary impression the public mind. g

destruction OF which would be the inevitable G,re
