The one hundred thousand dollars sugar
plantation in Louisiana pays only ten
thousand dollars wages, yet the south
has survived that. The one hundred
thousand dollars cotton plantation in
Georgia PAYS only six Thousand dollars
wages-the south even survives that.
To our notion,
THE DETERMINATION OF THE SOUTH
to manufacture cotton, at first in rude,
small way, and only proposing to supply
the local home market, Thereby eXclud-
ing New England goods from that market,
will be the best thing that ever happened
for that section. 1t will bring in capital
if safely conducted on business pTinci-
pies. The factory, no matter how mean
or poor, will become the nucleus of the
village, and here, while the women mind
the spindles, the men can go atield TO
raise more cotton, or turn wagOn-makeTS,
iron-wOrkers, smiths, timers, tOOl-makers,
shOemakers wheelwrights, tailOTs; in
short, engage in all those little trades
which Mr.. Atkinson 50 kindly advises
should be the frstling efforts of southern
industry. Let the south secure first its
cotton factories and the local home mar
kets for their products, and all these
trades and industries will be sure to grow
up speedily around them. Then the fac
tories themselves can expand, develop
themselves, secure more capital, and
compete with the factories of the north
and of England for the markets of the
world, with the advantage, never TO be
taken from them, of receiving on the
spot the products of their own fields,
upon which no freights, charges or COM
missions have been paid. VIII Mr.. At
kinsOn inform us, in his next paper, what
are the
FREIGHTs, COMMISSIONS AND CHARGES
paid by foreign mills on the five hundred
bales Of cotton which one of these little
despised factories consumes in a year, and
which it gets fresh out of the field free of
cost? Take it from the ginhOUse tO'the
depot or the boat; to the receiving city,
the factor, the warehouse, the press the
vessel, to New York or Liverpool, Fall
River or Manchester, and assess all the
various charges and bTOEerages upon it.
a bale of cotton weighs four hundred and
fifty pounds, which Is the weight of seven
and and q half bushels of wheat. 4
farmer in Baltimore county, ten miles
from town, has TO pay, in freight, COM
missions, etc, ninety-seyen and half
cents before he can sell that weight of
wheat in the city. Consequently he can
afford to sell his wheat at a discount of
thirteen cents per busheI from city
prices to the nearest mill. Let Mr.. At
kinsOn test cotton by similar standard,
and he will speedily discover that cotton
factories in the south, which begin by
controlling in a rude, hOmeiy way the
local home market, will end by contest
ing the supremacy of Massachusetts, and
Lancashire in the markets Of the world.
