The slaves would be commonly sdal to be worth ST.
O0O, 100000, and the cotton l6Oo0O00O. Now ifths
isa true saying the s 600 900 600 ought to be forth
coming in case the two million slaves are are offered
for sale, nth he same certainty That the 100000 900 Is
paid for the cotton. But we all know that while the
cotton would continue to go OF to the very last bag
at TO- the appearance Of two million slaves in
year on the ycnduc table would reduce their price
from $500 down to perhaps $5. Yet these same a,yc
would be Just rs competent to produce four million
more bags Of cotton the coming year, which might
again sell FOR the same sum of tlGO00O,O 900. as hc-
fore. II is unnecessary to point out the reason of
this We annually sell all Of our market produce
and the rest Of the world are cash bidders; hut if we
offered all of our slaves for sale where would we
find purchaser? reduction in The yrir, Of slaves

reduction in the price Of labor is APT to cause re.
dnction in the price of that labor's produce: but
since the latter depends upon the former it follows
that the profit, which is the difference between these
two prices. is nt least not likely to decrease unc.
new competition incrycnes which Is almost impossi.
bic in case. So far from the profits of slave la
bor being diminished by further importation of
slaves. IL may he laid down, with as much certainty
rs any human probability can, that the capital now
vested in slaves in the cuton'staes aud in all the
new states, would be the first benefited. And this Is
due to the fact tho in all slave countries. labor is
owned conlointly with land Large slave holders
are always large land owners Being LARGELY pos.
