SOUTHERN AND EASTERN COTTON

The East is beginning 10 feel the effect OF
the rivalry of the Southern cotton mills, az
is shown by the repeated attempts made
there OF late to explain away and depre-
ciate the advantages Southern factories en-
Joy. Some of them, while acknowledging
depression owing to Southern mills, argue
that there is among those mills present de-
preston and probable loss, which makes
Northern investors avoid them. They cay
that 10 the South skilled labor is not easy
TO get, as the mills are too much scattered !;
that more operatives 10 the spindle are re-
quired; that advantages derived from being
near tie cotton fields is lost, as goods sent
North for sale pay the freight saved on cot
ton; that the South has better investments
for its skilled labor than in cotton mills,
which will have to be left to the
denser populations. The fu,ility Of
these objections shows the strength of
the cotton-mill business in the South; the
East would bring in stronger arguments if
it could find them. The success of the South
srn mills is shown by the tendency to in
crease their number; there is also ten
deucy toward aggregation. for where one
Southern mill is started others follow; if
more hands are required in the South TO
the spindle than in the East, it is because a
class of goods are made that entail that me-
cessity; the value of the "denser popula.
ton" argument ia shown BY the fact that
New England gets large portion of lis la
Dor from the Canadian French; most Of the
Southern-made goods are sold at home, saw
ing the freight of the carriage OF cotton
East and OF goods back again, and when
goods made in the South are sent East it ia
an advantsg', for while any difference be-
tween the freight OF raw and manufaetura ID
cotton is slight the difference in
their value i. great The nullily of the ar
guments advanced m Eistern psPers against
Southern cotton millr, assists us to believe
that the lime is not very far distant when
Eastern manufacturers will carry their ma
cbinery to the cotton, not the cotton to the
machinery. When our cotton manufac' ures
are extensively exported manufacturing in
the South will have 10 be resorted to,
that the necessary advantage may be OBJ
tanned by which American spinning shall
successfully and victoriously compete with
those of Manchester.

EGYPT AS A COTroN RIVAL

Whether England will, in some form or
other, "anuex" Egypt is a question moi at
present answerable. As matters are shaping
themselves it looks as if no steps would be
-4-L--, E--rAallE-- to make EgYpt an English
possession, but, at the same time, such hold
will be kept on the country that at any
future day, as convenience and opportunity
may sugge 1.-The formal act of annexation can
be performed. England is doing a good
deal of trade with Egypt, much of it in the
line Of cotton-plant productions. There can
be little doubt that, now England has the
country in her hands, she will take steps to
encourage and increase that production,
especially as Egypt grows long staple cot
ton which is liked by the Manchester
spinuers as much as the American
article. An authority before us
says thai Egypt averages annually about
$4,000, 900 pounds Of cotton, of which En-
gland has taken two.thirds. At Bolton
there are 100000 spindles using Egyptian
cotton alone; taking in factories elsewhere,
about $4,000 English operatives are en-.
ployed on Egyptian cotton. Nine million
dollars worth of cotton-seed are imported
annually from Egyp!; Hull alone took 120,-
900 tons the year before the war broke out,
the crushing giving employment to $500
work-people. Couon-seed oil finds uses, and
the cake is favorite among breeders.
An immense amount of cotton seed oil from
Egyptian seed is used by English soap-boil-
err. We see by this statement that Egypt is,
to q certain extent, rivaliug our cotton pro-
ductions; now that country is in English
hands, and English capital is seeking more
and more investment in the most fruitful
land under heaven, we may be sure
that the cotton cultivation will be urged
with renewed vigor. To what extent it M y
be Ultimately carried we cannot tell but we
know the possibilities are great. Up the
Nile, in Nubia, the cotton plant is in its ma
tive soil and grows wild. Labor is plenty
and cheap, and that large Egyptian cot.
ton crop will be an annual feature in the flu
lure appears to be certain. The effect OF such
a change upon our own market cannot be
mistaken, aud the probability that it will
come should induce us to increase our cotton
Manufacture, and our facilities for meeting
England with them in the worlds markets.

THE Unjust IRoN.TIErA

Patience is a virtue, but the unresisting
apathy with which the cotton. producers see
the duty on cotton-ties raised from thirty
five to eighty.two per cent. is carrying the
quality of patience beyond the regions OF
virtue. Mr.. Blanchard, OF Louisiana, made
speech in the House giving sound reasons
why the cotton planter of the South should
not be made servile payer of tribute to the
ten concerns in the North that make iron
lies. He showed how the iron men had
striven TO procure treasury decisions and
court decisions subjectipg iron ties 10 the
same duty as hoop-iron, and had failed, and
now, the cotton-planter remaining indiffer-
ent, what had been tried by the iron men for
years in vain is accomplished. II hoop.iron
is the same thing as the cotton-tie, the speaker
asked why it should net be brought down to
The same duty as the cotton-tie, and not raise
the cotton-tie duty to the hoop-iron rate. But
they are not the same thing. Hoop-iron is
siricted TO the use of the cotton-grower
The iron-tie has TO overcome great and per-
sistent bursting force, the result Of the vast

and is an invention that was originally
patented. Cotton-ties have been made 10

since he decision releasing them from pay
ipg duty as iron hoops they have sold as low
as three cents a pound. The duty upon an
iron rail or other article is laid upon an
article lasting ten years and more; The
cotton-tie lasts but one season. IN ten years
ten duties make $50 per cent, while the duty
upon the steel rail for the same period i;
but seventy-6ve per cent, and 30 with
other enduring articles. This fact show;
in a striking manner the injustice done the
cotton-grower BY the iron-tie tax. Mr.. Blan
chard pointed out that with the duty a
thirty-6ve per cent. ad palorem upon cotton
ties, 1881 O5S pounds were imported fol

RICHMOND, VA, February 20.-Capt. John

for asssulting John E. Massey during the
taking of his deposition in the contest of the
latter against tbs former az congressman at

said he would, under the same provocation,
repeat the assault, even if Massey were 150
years old, and in church. he WAS fined S..
Gen. George ]. Huudley, Massey's counsel,
asked for continuance, saying that upon a
full investigation it might be found neces-
ssry 10 place the parties under bonds to keep
the peace hereafter. This brought on a
sharp colloquy between Hundley aud Wise,
the latter remarking that perhaps it would
be better 10 ,quire bonds of him as against
HundIey. The latter said he had always
treated Wise courteously, and would neither
seek nor shun a difficulty with him. The
courtroom was not the place TO discuss such
matters, he said, and he was willing TO ac-
cord Wise any satisfaction he might wish at
any time or place. A warrant was imme-
dlately sworn out, and the parties placed
under arrest, but upon their disclaiming any
present intention OF carrying the matter fur
