Of men. Dominion Is not 50 easy; glory not 70

of 20 900 men, Dominion s not 80 easy glory IL not
cheap. The Americans have TO up their scale OF
ideas much higher than this. How they are TO rase
the and the money is another question, but the
must be raised and, il the eoquence OF the New
York journals is worth the villtinous paper upon
which it is printed, the men will be raised, ana we
eha see every man capable Of bearing arms respond
ing to the calf But all that will be so much strength
aud many hands taken away from all the ieprodue,
tive Industries of America, from cotton, sugar ana
tobacco, among the rest. Where the dlsarrangement
of labor will stop it is not easy to say England anu
the neighborng countries of Europe have seen trades
and manufactures rise and fall fly OF to more tolerant
shores, or better.ahected populations; flourish ana
disappear. Who shall fay whether the United states
We used TO admire, and even envy, may not oeiois
long be page Of history
1t is not our province to appeal much to the enter
price OF manufacturers and the cupidity OF cspltas
Were We TO advise moneyed mercantile readers
TO hold" cotton, loud indeed would be the complaints
and dark the insinuatons, il cotton were TO fall We
can appeal, however, as the Manchester Cotton Com
peny has appealed recognized duties Of the State,
and 10 the public spirit which inspires and assists il.
The State has accepted be office of collecting informa-
ton for commerce. OF smoothing its way, and rendering
substantial assistance where none other il to be
expected. Now il the time for stralning every nerve
TO deveiope the cotton cultivation in India and other
coils pronounced favorable SO long as this duty seemed
TO depend the problemaca and unfriendly assuinp-
ton that America might one day keep her cotton to
herself in order to destroy manufactures Govern
meDt might be excused from interfering in the mater.
we are now called 10 act, mol Oh pare possibility OF
unwarantable suspicion but plain matter OF fact:
At this moment the export of cotton from the United
States is actually prevented and eectually bindered
by the presence OF cruisers as well as by measures
taken by the begerents, directly for the purpose.
Both sides believe IL to be necessary TO prevent the
sale and export of cotton 10 order to sarve out the foe
Into the wisdom and practical character Of this pro-
ceedi6g j, is useless to inquire II is at least notice
to us TO take care Of ourselves and If the Govern
Ineus Of North America taking measures TO keep
all their cotton az home the British Government surely
has an equal obligation to procure IL elsewhere. In
concert with the Manchester Cotton Company, it is
arranging for the immediate completion of roads, the
construction of landing and shipping PIERS the erec-
ton OF cotton gin factories, pressing-houses, Offices
and stores the scientific investigation of the cotton
districts the opening up of the Godayery, and, by the
way, an increase Of the cultivation in Egypt. The
Manchester people strong in hope that lpda only
wants little attention to supply every posslble gap
in the American supplies. In behalf Of the State, We
think may cay that all the scruples against lnter-
ference in mercantile affairs will be waived when the
prosperity of the country and the subsistence OF nil
hons at stake. II the merchants and manufacture
only know and say what ought TO be done, there
will be no lack Of will to do it the part of Gov
eminent.
