Great az it has shown itself in this country 1t las

broken, have been accustomed 10 devote their AZ
tention too exclusively to the figures oil our own
crop, and while clarifying our capacity Tor pro-.
duction have failed to give proper attention 70 sna'
of other countries In al tbese, the price OF laoof
il stationary, while in ours it il advancing COTTON
hands are annually inereasing in price, more u
them are called for, and hence the crusaao 'o' 10
on.n;ng the slaye-trade. There must DO some
Great prepondersting cause at the bottom o'
th. .trking capacity of other countries to increase
their production 90 much more rapidly tnAn our o"n
This cause must be found in the continued 10"
urice of labor, and the creation OF new fscinues
for brip eipg interior grown cotton to the seaboard.
What changes the latter may produce are shown
in the growth of Memphis, Tennessee, which,
under the influence of cottonbearing railroads, has
risen from hamlet of so inhabitants TO city Of
Is, 900, at which tenth of the whole crop Of tho
Union is received and shipped. Cotton is not pro-
duced in Tennessee with greater facility than in
India, ont it has been stimulated to its present
magnitude BY steamboats, and railroads, all which
are being rapidly established in the latter, and it
10 impossible that they should fail to work as mighty
. revolution there. We know that India cotton 10
generally of inferior quality, and requires better
article, like the American to enable English spin
ners to work it up. But We know also that inven-
ton does not stand still. Let the Indian staple
ence press on the Manchester market, and machinery
will be adapted to work it up without the Ameri-
can adjunct In any event, it will not be thrown
away. Once landed in England, it will be worked
up without any mixture, or with less proportion Of
the American. Be it which you will, to that extent
il will displace our own.
The ability of England to absorb tho cotton OF
the world being apparently established BY these
figures, it becomes curious inquiry to know how
she disposes of it. First, in 1856 and 1857, she
exported nearly 1900, 900 yards, worth $l45-
600, OOO of this the United States bought 1885,.
OOO, 900 yards though the whole could have been
manufactured as cheapy and as well BY ourselves.
Turkey took 3OS, 600, 900 yards country now
utterly bankrupt from the destruction of industry
by being gorged with foreign manufactures. In
dustrious Holland took but 100000 yards, pre-
r. hovn oil Ruf IN nd
gland forced the enormous quantity Of 94s 900
yards. There British Free Trade rules with despotc
rigor The same system prevails in her intercourse
with us, wherever she can buy or bully US into sub
hitting; and our industry, like that Of Turkey, il
giving way under the pressure. Oar import OF
I'm slsh calicoes alone has risen from 30, 900
to $50, 600 of yards annually; and, with de-
tendencies like India, and billiards Like Turkey
and the United States, it can be no Advertisements
that England sbsOrbs the cotton of the world. She
lets in all raw materials free Of duty; her manu-
facturers enjoy unequaed advantages for competing
with all other nations, by the fostering spirit OF the
laws; and the labor of her millions, bestowed on
these raw materials, enables her to subsidize the
world. To keep her manufacturers employed, she
excludes Inc I6pr.ce OF OtneI COuuLIlcs. ono ~
required her dead to be buried in woolen that one
branch might be made to flourish, and at one time
made the expectation Of raw materials felony.
Buying nothing that she can make, and importing
nothing she can produce, she has Outstripped all
competition, and 10 now the manufacturing colossus
of the universe. Through all changes Of time, Of
kings and parties, she has held to this policy Of
protecting her own industry Our feeble rivalship
she has crushed, by forcing on us the reverse Of
her own policy, in doing which she has found no
scarcity of allies among Northern doughfaces. She
has conquered our naturally superior position for
supremacy in the cotton manufacture, and is now
the great custodian of the staple; debating prices
to the grower; debauchins our people with Free
Trade; compelling rs to dig gold in California and
Kansas to make her rich, and welding the Slave
Power of one section to crush out the industry of
the other. While living in Colonial bondage, we
endured these evils by compulsion; now we adopt
them voluntarily
