manuiactory has sold its first manufactured
goods aud may now be regarded as an accom-,
pliShed fact. 1t is Il very agreeable fact, and
one of the most cheering sigus Of the times in
our State. We now manufacture with native.
born hands the baggng our planters need for
their cotton, and besides, the coast lands have
an Indictment TO the cultivation OF q new and
valuable agricultural product, well adapted TO
tlfeir soil and climate This is evidently u step
on the direct road out of the wilderness of pov-
erty and depression, and the Charleston factors
who have built up this new enterprise deserve
great praise.
Now that the cXoroitant interest on the loan
OF money cannot be safely obtained we can
hope that our rich men will devote some por-
ton Of their money to building up the manutac-
turing interests of the State and cease to con-
fine themselves. wholly to the dull and selfish
business of buying as cheap as they can at the
North, and selling high as they can at the
South. 1t has been demonstrated that cotton
manufacturers pay extremely well in South Car
DINA. How long is the number to remain but
two or three ?-Dariiayion Nc,c$.
We know moneycd men who were great
sticklers for low interest for money, from whom
the farmers cannot now borrow II dollar, at the
leg rate of interest, bat they have invNed
their money in Phosphate stock Bageing man
ufactories and perhaps other enterprises, from
which they expect to secure from l5 to 20 per
cent
1t is no use talking, capitalists will put their
money where it will bring them the largest err
cent If the law will not allow them enough
interest on loans, they will hunt up some other
means OF making thcirmoncy pay. No country
on this globe has more or finer opportunities for
profitable investments in manufactures, and
new enterprises of almost every kind, than the
South and money invested ia them instead Of
being locked up in notes at 20 or % per cent
interest, in liens which give the merchants
from 90 to 100 per cent profit on goods, will
give employment to thousands and circulate
among those who spend it at home.
