Cotton Manufacture North and South.


The difference in the prices paid for cot
ton by the northern mills is thus definitely
settled by the census: New England pays
1l.65 cents per pound, the south 1851, a
difference of LII or 10 per cent; in other
words, were New England mills situated in
the south, they would annually save SO,
l7l,655 for cotton alone, which would
enable them to- pay por cent. additional
dividend on their capital, n great deal more
than many Of them now pay.
In the matter Of wages the showing is
equally favorable to the south. The average
wages in New England is $23863, in the
south Sl6l go aycar, an item which would
make difference Of S9,58l 1921 in the ex-
penses of the New England mills yearly, or
6per cent. OF their capital. Some Of this
difference in wages Is due 10 difference in
skill; IL is, however, not wholly so. Cotton
mill labor in the south commands lower
wages than in the northern states,
as there is more labor lin the market
in that section than is absolutely
needed and because the cost Of living
is cheaper In these sections. These two
items, cotton and labor, will make a differ
ence Of between 10 and IL per cent on the
capital of the New England com panies
They represent some ofthe advantages that
the south possesses over that scction in the
manufacture Of cotton goods. Other adj.
vantages, such as tsose of the weat her,

Whlch We have an abundance, eic., need
not be touched on here, for we are
only considering those points upon
which statistics can be obtained. Let us
take the 4SS cotton mills now in the north
aud transfer them TO the south, as many
iar-Seeing New England capitalists are al
ready proposing to do. Estimating the
other operating expenses of the mills at one
thlrd the cost of wages and cotton, the New
England mills while in New England would
return Sl6, us los ofprofts; they were in
the south, paying at the rate that the south
ern mills pay for cotton and labor,
they would net S37,9jiS7l, or "a per
cent. curious fact shown by the
census returns and one which very few
people were probably aware of, is that the
southern mills manufacture finer goods on
the average than the New England ones,
getting IL cents a yard for the goods turned
out by them, whereas the New England
mills get only 81 cents Ii will thus be seen
that in nearly every item the southern mills
do better than the New England ones; that
they pay less for cotton and labor, less for
operating expenses and yet get more for
their goods, The only point in which they
fall behind is in production, and this is due
to the fact that the Northern mills have
better machinery and more spindles and
looms. There is no more potent argument
on this subject than these figures, and they
will doubtless carry conviction to the mind

Tyler seems disposed to contest the late
election for the establishment of the State
University, bat it is doubtful as to whether
any court has jurisdiction of case of con-
tested election Had the proposed amend
ment to the judicial department of the
State Constitution been adopted at the Sep
TENDER election, this doubt would have been
removed. J. WIZ
We do not see how Tyler can be aggrieved
by the result of the election to locate the
university being declared in favor of Aus
tin. 1t is our understanding that the citi-
zens of Tyler, pending the election enter
tanned the opinion that branching the med
ical department was unconstitutional TO
this proposition we agree. But if this is
correct, then Tyler was not in the race, she
having staked her chances Of success upon
an Illegal issue.-[Southeas Texian.

The UBIQUITOUS rARIFF.


The Rsmocratic party has always been q
free trsse party. Mr.. Calhoun earnestly
opposO protective tariff even in the early
DAYS of our countrys existence, when our
Young industries were unable to compete
with opulent foreign manufacturers. This
tariff was not intended to encourage and
protect monopolies, at the expense of the
people. The industries of the United
States are now fully able to take care Of
themselves, and the people should be re-
lieved from an oppressive system of taxa
ton in their behalf, The manufacturers of
the United States are not humindful of the
fact that the levy of both import
duties and the tax on whisky and to-
bacco viii soon become unnecessary, hence
they will make an effort to have the eXeclSe
system repealed and retain the protective
tariff source ofthe national revenue. But
We do not believe that the people will much
longer tolerate heavy tariff system when
there is no demand for 1.-THE bulk of
which virtually goes into the pockets of the
manufacturers, while the tax on whisky,
beer and tobacco goes wholly to the govern
ment Another important consideration. is
the TACT that the abolition of the tariff
system would do away with horde
of office-holders, who are employed
in every campaign as strikers
for the Republican party. 1t would prove
an efficient step in the direction of civil
service reform. We hope to see the Demo,
cratic party take a firm, decided stand
against the present protective tariff system.
Let the tariff laws be so revised that the
people will not be taxed on every necessary
article to fill the Golfers Of merciless mo-
nopolists. 1t is a timc-honored Democratic
principle, and one of the most laudable and
praiSpWorthv that over insnired n great mo-
htical party. When the people are taught
to understand what free trade really means,
they will not longer resist great reform,
the inauguration of which will materially
tighten their BURDENS Marshall Mes

The branch of the Texas & St. Louis rail
road from Mt. Pleasant to Dallas, or some
other point west of us, will certainly pass
through Hunt county, and it seems now
that it will pass south of Greenville, crossing
the Missouri Pacific at or near Lone Oak,
1t occurs to us that it would be to the in
terest Of the company to bring their road
to Greenville, so that it will be able.to COM
mand fair share of the carrying trade OF
the county, which they could not hope to do
by building their road so that it viii have
nothing more than way stations on 1t from
one border of our county to the other. That
this road would benefit Greenville greatly,
no one will deny; but it is equally clear
that the benefits to be derived from such a
connection would be mutual. Therefore
we are surprised that the company has not
submitted a proposition of some kind to our
people. However, it is not too late yet, as
the line of the road has not been located
this side of Sulphur Springs. The road is
now being graded in Hopkins county

The next Legislature should pass q law
under which grand juries could return an
indictment for failure to correctly give in
property to tax assessors. There are
thousands of "shrewd" men in Texas who
are rich but do not pay 20 cents on the one
hundred dollars worth of their property. If
there was way by which this class ofciti-
zens could be reached, those who are now
shouldering the burden would feel great
relief in few years Generally, real estate
pays Its part and not infrequently more
than its part, but it is not the case with
other classes Of property.-[Tyler Courier.

JUST so.

The editor often writes, not because he
has something which he wishes to say, but
because he must say something. He per-
haps would much prefer that his pen
should remain idle, but the columns must
be filled whether there is anythng to say or
not. There is no other profession which
requires that the brain should be kept so
constantly and actively at work as editing
daily journal. The editor cannot, like
Others, work at his leisure or take the time
and pains to polish and shape his work to
suit his fancy, but he must work rapidly
and hurriedly and give his productions TO
the public whether they are as he would
have them or not. Under the circum-
stances il is great wonder that more
worthless matter does not find its way into
the columns of the public journals than
does. Yet there are those who are ready to
criticize his productions as if they were
penned at his leisure and worked up in his
best style.-[Tcxarkana Interstate.

to open tho door aud give them relief. Tho
door was opened by MIR. Cauliffe, ono OF the

when he WAS thrown back and informed that
neither he no any guardian in tho room should
