THE FUTURE OF COTTON.

THE fGIGHE VI COIlON'
The Daily Ne,es London) of the 10Th inst.
has o vigorous leader on the Cotton Supply OF
Great Britain and the World, based upon o
recent report cent home from India by Mr..
Haywood, an official agent Mr. II. states
that, 80 far are the cultivators of India from
blindly and obstinately clinging to obsolete and
ineffective ways, that the very peasantry with
whom he has cOnversed are eager to improve
their methods in every conceivable way-eager
to obtain the beat American seed, and to
deepen their tilage (baviDg learned the advan-
tages of that process), even where 1t IS neces'
sary TO use the pickex to loosen the tenacious
hsrdpan which underies their shallow, exhaust
qe scratching for some thousands of years.
In short, though Hindocs, these culti7ators are
unconditional human beings-more than willing
to make their little holdings net them twice
the former profit per acre, and Only prejudiced
against novelties as oil ill-inormed people are apt
TO be. On every side, new or improved roads
wharves. water ways. are improving the facli-
tiles for getting the s.aple to foreign markets.
willie the presence Of buyers, taking the hDer
directly from the grower and paying him for
il in cash, tends greatly TO encourage his efforts
to increase his product. The East IS the
cradle of the Cotton culture; Iudia and Chns
have probably at no time grown 40 little as
+ half TIE Cotton produced in the world and
their amazingly cheap and abundant labor viii
probably yet enable them, when aided BY a
better system of inland transportation. to re
ASSERT their former sscendency in the markets
of Europe. TIE Ners proceeds to show that
the free.labor West Indies aud Western Africa
are also increasing their Cotton culture-that,
even in Jamaica there is no difficulty in pro-
curing free negro labor for the cultivation OF
Cotton to aHy extent for which the landowners
are willing to pay fair woge,. The editor con-
cludes as follows;
