Two causes will probably combine in the future to
keep IuoiA from fully supplying the Engish ma ket
Firet the oatives especially the Parsees Of Bombay,
are embakng in the manufacture of cotton goods, and
there is every reason TO believe that they viii soon
carry il very extensively, and thus divert the raw
material from foreign market III IS not at al proDa-
bic that they will control The trade Dnt Jhey must
soon iuhuence IL very materially Another consloeTa-
ton generally overlooked in this connection, Is the
fact that the demand for cotton goods increases much
faster than the supply This especially true OF lnoi
and Chira. The same railroad which takes away the
raw cotton briD9s back the gaudy calco, and the
money which is taken for one 10 given Tor the other
Improved closbng IS always one OF the hgst nlica-
tions of improvement III the general condition OF the
people Tue general progress OF India for years
past has already created greatly Increased demand
for cheap cottoh goods, ana this demand
must 90 on increasing more and more rap
sjly for many years To come. In China tie
general opening mp of the cOu1try is producing
o similar result. Now let the reader for moment
try to form an idea OF the immense population Of these
two countries equaiug and probably exceeding all the
rest of the world let hin imagine nne-tenlhs OF them
half clad aud the remaining tenth ready to exchange
their present clothing for better as soon as they can
fnd it, then let him imagine cheap cotton goods put
within reach of the poor, ard fancy go ds offered 10
the rich and he will at understand that all the
cotton fields aud cotton mills IN the world could hot
meet he demand that would ARISE That such de-
and az this will arise al distant day, there is every
reason TO believe.
II it is desirable TO abolish Slavery, it lie, no doubt
rght TO invoke the aid of commerce 70 accomplish It,
But the cotton trade should not have too prominent
place in efforts made for its abolition. IL has be-
snded Slavery in the past, and may so far disappoint
all our calculations betrend II still more erectu-
ally in the future. For my part, am not ready
10 believe that Providence will permit Christian
ity 10 be robbed Of the honor Of having destroyed tins
