THE HOME MARKET

Free-Trade arguments have always assumed the
value of the Home Market to be 50 small, as not to
furnish any substantial reason for the ENCOURAGE
ment of domestic manufactures. How much the
Cotton interest, which is generally arrayed in oppo-
son to the policy of protection, is concerned in the
promotion of the manufacturing SYSTEM and of the
Home Market which it induces, NAV be Judged
from the following striking array of facts in recent
letter of the intelligent editor of the New Orleans
Bulletin
The present consumption cotton in the United States
is estimated at 100000 bales per annum which is more
han the entire crop IN 1874; but this is by
rect estimate OF the whole amount consumed for it includes
only that portion OF the crop which, having reached sea-
port embarked IN the statistics of the CROP and does not
include what may be consumed in the interior and which
has never been a seaport market There are up-
wards OF oo hundred and ffty cotton mills to the
south Of Mason and Drons ne and little or no portion
OF the cotton consumed by these mills ever come into the
ESTIMATES OF the crop and is not included in the quantity
said to be consumed the United States Then there is
vast quantity OF cotton that is similarly situated, that
goes up to Mississippi and Ohio and from the Tennes
see and Cumberland tor the supply OF mills in Indiana
Ohio, Western Virginia and Pennsylvania In all of the
above points and of consumption there are pro
bly, at least 900 bales consumed making in all not less
than $4,000 bales annually worked at home. In former
years. the consumption of cotton in Great Britain was about
tree.ttths American and tpO-ffths india Brazil Epyp-
