GENTLEMEN; During the last twelve months
have, through your columns and in pamphlet
form, published many statements and estimates
relative 10 cur peculiar advantages for manufac-
turing coarse cotton goods at the coal beds on
the lower Ohio. These have been widely copied
and special pains have been taken to place them
before the manufacturers of the East.
As far AZ know, not "A single estimate has
been denied; In truth, they have, In almost every
instance, been less favorable to than the facts
would justify. now make the following state
ment and challenge DENIAL:
A mill Of 10000 spindlss, making No. IL cot
ton sheetings, and using the "ring and traveller"
spindle, and other improved machinery and ar
improvements, will yearly turn out five mil
lion yards, 2 s0-l00 yards to the pound. Allow
ing IA per cent waste, the cotton consumed
will be 2, 035 ,6l3 pounds The mill and work
shops and tenements connected Herewith will
require 10000 bushels of coal per annum.
We can lay down the cotton at our mill at
IA cents per pound less than its cost at Lowell;
and the cost Of bringing the cloth from Lowell
to Us will amount to at least y cent per yard:
from y to 4 ntper yard is the usual aud fair
allowance.
The saving in our power and fuel will be at
least equal 10 the difference in cost Of coal at
the two positions; say II cents a bushel.
In these three items alone, we have these ad-
yantages equal to prohts) over the Lowell, or
Eastern mills:
Ine'IIi'se and charges on the eotion s2S.dds y
Difference In power, OF coal. 1880 10
see 3f6 Al
1 state farther. that we can build the mill of
stone In sseoursed rubble" or trough ashlar,"
stone warehouse, and twenty-five boarding
houses Of brick or stone, and then fill the mill
will, the very best Of machinery, apparatus for
steam, water, gas, and tire, and furniture down
TO the hrcoms and office stools; In short, make
a complete and independent establishment and
put IL in perfect working order at cost less
than SEQ, 900.
1 state, further, that, If skilled labor, at the
outset, Is preferred, the best operatives can at
once be had from the East, and at Eastern
prices, and under contract for II mos. Possi-
Div the travelling expenses OF the fist Corners
would have 10 be paid by the employers, but this
would be less than the yearly saving in the cost
Of hoard here.
All this is fact, and not theory or conjecture.
Let any responsible company be organised and
agree to adopt the Lowell policy and code oi
MORALS and select convenient and healthy site
on the northern bank Of the Ohio, and al a dis
lance from a city, and will, II desired, obtain
for them competent and responsible contractors
who will do all that have stated.
As for unusual difficulties and disadvantages
there are none; not one can be named that Q
Lowell child would not laugh at. s.

statement is going the rounds of the Eastern

thousand persons from Kentucky this year 10 Cal
