CHEAP COTTON.
The @ uestion OF the Day for England
The Views of Pr0tcCtfOnist.

The well-iniormcd London correspondent OF
the New York Tiules writes:
The question Of cheap cotton is felt more and
more 10 be one OF life and death TO Lancashire.
Nothing else can save the greatest manulactur-
ing Interests in the United Kingdom. The Maii-
chester Cotton Supply Association has been un-
wearied i'm its inquiries as TO where cheap cotton
can be had but hitherto with no success. Age
ria Is too dry; Italy has too many products; the
West Indies find IL easier to raise conee ana su-
gar: Brazil needs roau- and labor; Peru has the
latter difficulty; Australia has goou COTTON re-
pions but men will not work SO near gOu ul9-
gings for less than ten shillings day; emma
and Japan can raise plenty or cotton, but they
have manufactures OF their own, ana nave even
carried or 200, O0o bales In year from the Bonl-
bay market when the price suited them. The In.
Jia cotton Is poor and dear; II can be produced
In pretty large quantities az long as the price Is
hirh: when II falls the natives either spin II them
selves or stop producing. Egypt and Turkey can
raise a good deal, and some OF good quality, Dut
Austria, near at hand, and Russia, are getting to
be large consumers.
After all, the difficulty is not wholly in the sup
ply OF the raw material. France, Switzerland
and Germany eau buy cotton i'll Liverpool, take II
home manufacture it aud send II 10 Manchester
for sale and make money by II. AS long as tnat
state OF things exists what Is TO save Lancashire
Take or YOUR duties on cotton goods and they
would serve YOU the same. AS the world is now
arranged free trade means the devil lake tnc
hiudmost. and Just at this moment Lancashire IS
the hindmoSt. | am and always have been Tor
free trade in the abstract In the concrete u0n |
see it. There will bc universal free trade IN the
millennium.
