TO show that am moi wrong in stating
that England does no, consume our cot.
ton herself, will only add one fact. and
that is, thst. during the year 1916 there
was exported from England 10 foreign
countries equal TO $50, 900 bales, OF col.
ton, IN cotton twist. or Gotten yarn, spun |
in England. aud about 700, 900 or 500. !
600 bales Of cotton. spun and woven into |
PLAIN cslicoes or domesiics, shirilngs,
and printed ealicoes, making To- |
&c her sbous l.l00 900; say eleven hpn-
dred thousand bales OF cotton sold by her,
in these two classes Of manufactures, 10 |
foreign nations; on all which England
reaped the profit Of manufacturing, and |
The benefit, pretty much. OF carrying the
manufactures 10 market too. Here is
something for little common sense TO !,
stand upon; and this view shows 10 any |
one. with a single idea in his mead, how
vsst cum such foreign nations must pay
10 the labor and ndasiry of Greal Britain
for these manufactures, over The cost fine
raw material. All this we nigh, have to
in this country, il We will only
carry out the sfstem Of protection to our
labor, while inexp.rlence and want OF
skill render protection necessary.
