lie not only squeas right Justify, but raises the
cry of adulteration and fraud, suppOSing as in
the matter OF cloth making over there, starch
and clay could not get mixed with the cloth
without wicked or criminal intent so sand and

To say, having eyesight and some expert

interview. II is by all means Il wellkuown fact
both IN England and this country, that manu-.
iacturer need never buy cotton containing sand
There never has been crop of cotton grown
from which cotton free OF sand or dust could not
be procured, did the buyer choose To pay for it,
The present crop is surely no exception
Manufacturers in England, America and ey-
erywhere else know this, but when cloths can
not be made from cean and high cost cotton To
pay profit there are good reasons, or nj all
events, excuse for iher shopping around for
something cheaper, from which hopes are held
out that the same results may be obtained from
the cheap and sandy cotton. that would turn out
from using the clean cotton at high cost EApC-
rience has over and over again shown that dis
appointment often follows such undertakings,
and manufacturers, in common with other folks,
must Mt expect something for nothing before

The laws of trade touching cotton are not diff
ferent in England from what they ars In this
country, and when one shows Il sample of what
he has 10 sell, 1t is understood that the cotton to
be delivered is Of and like it, otherwise 1t is no
sale and can be ut once rejected
Should the cotton be received, and after being
paid for If 1t should upon examination turn out
TO be unlike the sample sold, either from sand or
other cause the buyer has claim and II valid
one, which can be collected from the seller; that
is If the seller is responsible, and we here know
of course that Fall River manufacturers are AT
all time protected, as il is well kuownthey never

The hue and cry which is going obout the
world by the assistance of the newspapers
In reg ri TO the adulteraton of American
cotton, has its source in error, and IL will be
so written down by the Dogberrys and other
asses who have taken the cry and are invest
eating it. As long rs cotton Is gown there vii

be spun up and the sand will go ont with In,
