The London Times, in leading article on
the supply of cotton, says lit appears that
if one America is not Sufficient and we want
a second, we can hardly do better than take
the first for our model. We know of scores
of spots where the soil and climate as
good as in Georgia, and though, perhaps, cot
ton Of the very best quality is not to be rails
ed everywhere, or upon the instant, we have
great faith in the powers of cultivation. But
soil and climate are not enough. Capital
energy and organization will be called for
still, or we shall get no cotton to speak Of; /;
and it happens that in none of the countries
otherwise fitted for the purposes in question
are these requisites to be found among our
native possessions. The qualities which eua-
BILE the Americans to send out millions Of
docs or Borneans, and as they are not indigo
nous, they must needs be imported. England
in short, must find money, machinery and wits
and if these are carried to some well selected
territory, where there is good land and abun-
dant labor, we may soon be able to discuss
our claims about the production Of cottan."
