The CoTToN. -SUPPLY.-A recent de-
spatch from London states, in effect.
that deputation of gentlemen repre-
senting the Lancashire cotton trade,
have united lin n request to the Duke
of Argyle to obtain Government assist
ance in the production of cotton in the
British colonies. They set forth the
great depression in trade at present,
and show that relief can only be had by
Government lending aid to enable India
to develop the growing Of cotton, so as
to compete with the United States
There is omething in this movement
Southern planter of cotton It proves
that after o four years suspension of
cotton cultivation in the South, and the
extraordinary measures used by the
British Government during that period
to stimulate its cultivation in its Eastern
possessions, and render her spinners in
dependent of the United States, and,
furthermore, Notwithstanding the Grip
pied condition of the planting interests
of the South since the close Of the war,
England still findsherself unable to com
pete with ns in the production of the
great staple. AT last accounts, middlipg
uplands was quoted in Liverpool at
1231d., and yet, with the article at this
high price, we find the East still unable
to furnish it at q profit, and the Lam
cashire spinners calling upon the Go
vernment to encourage production by
bounties and other fostering legislation.
The facts stated put the cotton culture
Of the United States on high ground.
While no moro is produced than now, it
is clear TINT we shall have control of The
market. On the other hand, the pros
pect for increased production is more
favorable here than in the East, and
England will always find her progress
more than Offset by our own. The re-
tirement of negroes from the border
States to the cotton States before the
tide of white immigration, the influx of
large population from China and Japan,
and our improved systems of culture,
will bring down field labor and make us
the permanent masters of the situation.
This seems to us clear, provided always
that the Government shall cease TO in
terfere between capital and labor at the
South, and bend its energies to q resto-
ration of political unien and harmony.
If the present war is kept up against the
cotton planting interests, we can hope
for nothing. Our own early impover-
ishment and national bankruptcy must
be the results. If public prosperity and
national greatness are to be subordi-
mated to the aggrandizement of politi-
cal party, the time will soon come when
the spinners of Lancashire must rely on
successful production in the East, or
make up their minds to starve.
