Ionoge Of the Free and Slave States.
In 1849 and So the tonnage of the Slave States
was as follows:
American, 511, $50
Foreign, 429, 964
i Aggregate, 941, $50
The tonnage of the Free States was as follows:
American, 2,12T, 100
Foreign, 1897, 282

Tile UeazH ofAe South.
The following is condensed from an address de-
livered at Charleston by VIM. E. Martin Esq.
1.-The crop of the Old World cannot be accu
ratey estimated for want of correct accounts of the
quantity consumed in India, and exported thence
to China. We may, by approximation, however,
arrive at conclusion sufficient to illustrate our
views. The quantity imported into the whole of
Europe, from all parts of the world, during the
years, 1846, AT, '48, and 40, reached / ,502,-
900 bags of 800 lbs, which at the average of pri-
ces for these years, 81 cents, was worth $685.
100000 The production of cotton in the United
States, commenced in 1870, and in the next year,
only 81 bales were exported and yet of II ,5O2,-
600 above stated, 1929, 800 went from the South
ern States of America, which at the same price
81 cents, is worth 1927, 5l1 800. So that in
quantity the production of the South is as ,922
600 to ,5O2, 900, and the value is as 1927, SILL,
500 to 1898, sol 900, and thus we see that we
produce more than three-fourths inquantty and
value of this great staple. If the unascertained
quantity consumed in India and exported thence
to China, which is inferior in staple to ours, is
set off against the quantity of cotton consumed
in the United States, (Which l have not added
in the computation, the result, it is believed, will
not be varied
''Let US look at the question in another point Of
view. The crop ofthe United States in 1928, was
only 500, 1885, and yet the crop of the year 18489
had reached 2,728, 596, more than five times as
great in 848 as it was in 1929 twenty-six years
before. This was worth at last years price, 10
cents 81, 81 900. Deducting 5l8O39 as the
quantity consumed in the United Stetes.
We have for expectation, 1927, 844 bales which at
10 cents, Ga low estimate, is $s66, 1926, 800
If to this be added the other do
| mestic productions of the South, 80, GA, 176
The whole value for Southern ex-
/ ports for 1910, will be s99, 500, 900
More than two-thirds of the whole
! domestic exports from the United
States for that year, which was, 131, 71O,O81
And more than three times as much
/ as the whole domestic exports
! from the North, for the same
| year, which was, 1920, o81
/ The remarkable fact is also shown that the do
mestic exports of the South, exclusive of cotton
Ter great staple, is $32 GA 176 while all the ex
ports from the North are $32, 21O,0 81, leaving
the value of her cotton over and above. The fact
that the North consumes less than one fifth of our
cotton while four-ffths find so ready market on
our wharves, is significant of the independence Of
the South and the North might well be remind
ed, by her receiving all her supplies of raw ma
teral from us. and sending it again to us in her
manufactured goods, (even if less keen sighted
than our Northerners are rePuted 10 De- now dan
gerous is the policy OF converting and ally into an
