for six to twelve months before it reaches
the distant mill. Can any one doubt
that the Southern spinner may safely
disperse with part Of the violent and
destructive beating" that is necessary to
the Northern and foreign spinner to
restore that life and elasticity of fibre
which have been squeezed out of it. by
the gigantic congresses of the day !?
So much for Southern water power, rs
compared with steam. There is much
of it north of the Potomac, but much
more available here, at the cotton fields,
and never impeded by ice.
THE COURSE OF PROGRESS.
Northern manufacturers excel us now
in design and coloring and weaving skill,
and will long continue to do so; but in
the manufacture of the heavier cotton
cloths, and of the lower numbers of
yarn, we are firmly established and per.
fectIy successful, as the extremely salts.
factory dividends from many Southern
mills sufficiently attest. Northern wca
vers give up to US the heavy goods and
buy annually hundreds oftons of South
ern yarns. Why is this? Simply be-
cause we can spin as we'll as any other
spinners and more cheaply. If it were
not so would these skillful and thrifty
people buy of us? AS we increase the
production Of yarns, more and more mills
will be started North to consume them,
and as Northern wca7ers learn more and
more to depend upon us for their sup.
plies, we will, before long, be spinning
finer numbers of yarns, then Northern
spinners must 60 to COS, SOS and zoos.
We will soon, probably, compete with
the North in manufacturing print cloths,
to be printed there into the exquisite
calicoes now make. Finally, we will
commence spinning fine yarns for eXpor.
tation to Europe. The timpedinenti in
the way ofimmediate and rapid progress is
the poverty of the people, but thisis rap
idly passing away, and we will be able
to take respectable portion of the new
spindles that will soon be needed. And
before the end, of this century all the
Southern States will present very diI.
fcrent aspect. With such advantages as
we have the story is not near told. Is it
not strange that the vast accumulations
of wealth North and East and in Eng.
land do not find their way to this favored
region, which lacks nothing but capital
to create manufacturing industry
in thissline that will not only be very
renumerative, but will add to the glory
of the reconstructed Union and make it
yet more signally the wonder of ma.
tions?" Hundreds of thousands read
your bright cosmopolitan journals. You
can reach them with sound suggestions
on this important subject. Can you ac'
cept the views here suggested? II you
can, send them abroad, East, West,
North, aud South, and "across the wa
ters," and let us see these magnificent
streams, now wasting their magnificent
wealth of power in the Atlantic and the
Gulf, harnessed and made to minister to
our progress and the progress of the
American people.

American Cotton Manufactures of the
Futurc-Stcam and Water Power Com
pared.
ATLANTA, November II, 1880.

ATLANTA, November II, 1880.
To the Editor Of the Nc'O Yor3 Herald :
There are now some 100000 cotton
spindles operated in the Union. In the
year 1900, only nineteen years away,
there will be 2O,000,000 needed, because
the increase of population and of expor.
tation of American goods will demand
them. The population, ms ascertained
by the recent census, is, in round num-
bers, 5OO00,000. In 1870 it was
38,0O00O0, an increase of 81! per cent.
in ten years. The same rate of increase
for the next two decades will make it
S6,OOO,0O0. To sustain this estimate,
let me suggest that from 1890 to 1920,
and for each succeeding period Of thirty
years the "Compendium United States
Census" shows an average increase of
14O per cent. This ratio applied to the
3S,00O,O 900 of 1870 gives us over 9O,O0O,-
900 in 1900, thirty years later, hence we
may expect a population nearly double
that of the present year, as just ascer-
tanned. Even if this estimate of popu.
lation fails, the increased tendency OF
people toward manufactures will
compensate for the smaller number Of
the population. Will not two pounds Of
cotton goods be required from the United
States mills in 1900 for one now produced 2
Ifthis is correct, 2O,O00,000 of spipdles
will be required. During the interval of
nineteen years most of the spindlcs now
in use will be worn out or otherwise
destroyed. Let us say that 100000
must be replaced and 100000 more
must be supplied-in all, 100000,
with all their preparatory and following
neutrality-suspicious. the end of this
century. Is this extravagant? 1 think
not. One-half of the 100000 at work
in 1870 were operated by steam
the other half by water power.
The Financial Chronicle reports the home
consumption last year at 300, 600 bales,
averaging 4S1 pounds each. This is
equivalent to over S65,000,000 pounds.
If the ratio of 1870 has been maintained,
some 4S0,000,0O0 pounds have been
manufactured by steam in 1870 and 1880
Is this economical ? 1t pays, certainly;
but does it pay as we'll as water power?
The requisite power for 1000 spindles
with looms has been variously estimated
at fifteen to twenty-five horse power.
All speeds have been accelerated since
the introduction of the American ring
spindle, let us take lin media) the ratio
of twenty horse power. For 20,O00,000
spindles with looms, this ratio demands
100000 horse power.
