COTTON-MANUFACToRIEs IN THE
SOUTH. The New Orleans Price
Current makes n strong appeal In
favor of the establishment of manu-.
factories for cotton goods. 1t uses the
following cogent arguments: "We
exported last yenra quantity Of raw
cotton valued in round numbers al
$3.50, 100000; when manufactured II
was worth to the consumer, at q
moderate estimate, S75O, 100000. The
manufacturer then received twice a.
much for the preparation of the cot
ton for use asthe planter has done fpl
its cultivation. The producer ther
receives but one third Of what tn,
consumer pays. Is the process b,
which this additional value is i'm
parted to the raw material SO myste
rious that the producer cannot com
prehend and employ It? Let us see:
, lst. The first agent in this chang,
. Is machinery. This Is made In tn,
workshops Of America and England
and may he purchased and sent t,
one place as well as to another. Cd
The second element in the manurac
ture OF cotton goods Is skilled and op
erative labor. The Southern State
! have large amount of operative la
: o0r unemployed. The skill necessar,
to conduct the manufacture may b
, imported and educated, as has beel
successfully due In Georgia and Ala
pama. 3d. Real estate and motiv

4 4th. The raw material can lie laid Il
mere cheaper than elsewhere. Wher
: then Is the obstacle to adding thi
vast value to n material now export
ed IN a raw state, and at one third q
. its ultimate cost to the consumer? l
: the cotton shipped from the Soutl
could be In part or altogether spun
A woven, and printed in fabrics suitabl
{, for use, it would add to our resource
an immense sum, which would prac

e compensation of our own labor, mucl

and even charge upon the labor EN-
ployed in staple production. If thi
q system could be adopted, we shoul
y turn the tables upon the consumer
: and instead Of depending upon ou
crops for employment, they would b
