Rag A pound of cotton in South Carolina
brings to the planter, say ten cents. 1t is taken
to England, and in few months returned to this
country in the form of hose, and sold to the
wearer at, say two dollars. Who profits by this
transaction? If the manufacturer was in South
Carolina he could afford to give more than ten
cents for the cotton, and he would buy from the
planter the various other things needed by him.
In short, q dollar and ninety cents, now expended
chiefly in England, would be kept in circulation
in South Carolina; while the surplus cotton re-
ceived there could still be sent to other parts,
either before or after receiving the increased
value impaired by the manufacturer. But some
persons despise and denounce the degrading
practices of manufacturing districts. They
should themselves undertake the work of refor.
