The Georgia and South Carolina manu-
facturers not only can but do successfully
compete with British rivals in the distant
markets Of China and Brazil, The pro-
tective tariff, by increasing the price of
the machinery needed in cotton spinning,
is a positive disadvantage to that industry.
This illustrates a truth which the OppO-
nents OF protection have ayOwed from the
first, and the public are beginning slowly
to recognize. that while that policy brings
benefits to a few favored manufacturers,
it imposes burdens on the manufacturing
interest as a whole, and, in the end, dis,
collrages mechanical industries.

The Mormon Problem

recently endeavored. throu III ms repre-
seutatives Is Congress. to take active
measures forts supnressiont That tiled
Radicaf leader, senator Edmunds,s
grappled with the problem and proposed
the measure known as the Edmunds bill.
which, so far from accompli shing its OBJ
jects, has stirred up the Mormons to
activity, and to-day they are probably
better organized and more ugly than
ever before. Mr.. Edmunds, never
slow to suggest extraordinary measures,
now proposes supplementary legislation,
the gist Of which is that a Mormon wife
may testify against her husband Just as
other witnesses. and provides for the com
pulsOry attendance of witnesses without
the formaiity Of previous subpoena
Assuming that Congress is prepared to
make such a precedent, what would be
the effect Of such legislation? Granted
that series of convictions We're obtained,
il is folly 10 suppose that their exam
PIE would be salutary enough to induce
the MOrmOns to quit their practices. To
attempt to enforce such a statute would
I De TO invite revolution. and would require
! the support OF the Federal forces.
The Mormon faith is not founded on
I revelation, but is a bald invention that is
! logically indefensible. In point Of fact,
! no two Mormons can marry unless they
I marry as the law directs. Length Of CO.
habitation might, as is frequently done, be
construed as marriage in effect. but q
/ conterminous cohabitation with second

would be guilty of felony under the laws
Of the States.
Since any legislation looking to the sup

Dee backed by the powerOft United States
the logic of force might just as wei
be applied first as last. Legislation upon
the subject will be only tempOrizing
Either the MOrmons have the right to prac
tice pOlygamy or they have not. If they
have that right under any construction o
the Constitution, let the fact be pro
claimed. If they have not that right theil

The President rightly says that such
contributions as were enforced from
otficehOlders during the last campaign
through fear Of removal were not ''volun-
tary.' He holds that their collection
should be prohibited by law. This is ex-
cellent as far as it goes. The pity is that
the President didn't say SO in the cam
paign. He could have stopped the whole
scandalOus business of assessment with
half dozen words. \ public announce
ment over his signature that every office
holder would be protected in refusing TO
submit to the robbery would have been
enough.

Senator Edmunds has introduced a new
anti-pOlygamy bill in the Senate, which
provides that the wife of Mormon prose
cuted for polygamy shall testify against
her husband the same as any other wits
ness; enfOrces the attendance of witnesses
without any personal service OF
subpoena, and deprives offenders of the
benefit of the statute of limitation. Such
an infamous law could not be enforced on
account of its unconstitutionality. II IL

The Cotton Crop Estimate Of 1882
1888

1888.
We have received from the cOmpilers.
Messrs. Latham, Alexander Il Co., a re-
port on the United States cotton crop of
lSS3-3. based upon estimates received
from more than two thousand of the best
informed bankers, merchants and cotton
dealers in the South. 1t will be remem-
hered that these gentlemen last year
issued similar report, and this year the
same means were adopted to arrive at a
conclusion, and, they think, with more
satisfactory results than last year. The
result of their inquiries have been cleaned
from ,. 1873 answers of an average of De
cember 1st from 4S1 counties that pro-
duce about nine-tenths of all the cot
ton raised i'm the United States. The
names Of the firms and their esti-
mates are given in the report
and are a guarantee of the value and
trustworthiness of the report. In the re-
port Is given an estimate of the total crop.
based upon the production by counties, an
estimate Of the total crop based upon the
average general increase or decrease
throughout the States, disregarding coun-
IN reports, and an estimate of the total
crop based solely upon the individual
opinion of each correspondent. These
three estimates. each arrived at in a differ
eut way. show remarkable cIOseness in
results. and Indicate that the average Of
the three estimates, 6, 1857, lS6 bales, will be
the total crop Of 1925. which will not
vary materially from the actual total crop
of lSSl-2.
The crop of Alabama is placed at 77437S
bales: Arkansas, GIG, $50; Florida, A. 1S9;
Georgia, s35,3l5; Louisiana, 49, 65; Mis-
Sissippi. 81, 794; North Carolina, 37S. 1874:
south Carolina, $780, $3.50; Texas, 1,267, 10;
Tennessee, 800, 1859; Indian Territory,
kentucky. Virginia and Missouri, %, 2S5.
The report is quite interesting, and con-
tains valuable information on the pro-
duction Of the staple throughout the en-
tire cotton section.
