Why We Cannot Manufacture as Cheap
a. England.

SAVANNAH, GA, Sept. 30.-Editor
Morning Ne,cs; In your Facts About
the South American Trade" in this
mornings issue, you ask "why we can
not manufacture cotton goods as cheap
as they can in Englandg' l would re-
specially answer, in my humble judg-
ment. that the causes are very plain 10
those who are disposed to admit them.
The first among them is that you allow
England to make the price Of raw cot
ton grown in America, for no
one can deny that it is the
English BUYER makes the market
price. The mere fraction Of freight Is
counterbalanced by the inferior Egyptian
and other cotton that she mixes in manu-
featuring with the American. Put an ex-
port duty on raw cotton sufficient to Oh
set these advantages, and American man
ufacturers will be able 10 compete. !
have not mentioned cheap labor, which
gives them another advantage. How was
ii that when the English were deprived OF
our cotton during the war, and when they
exerted all their ingenuity TO ind sub
stitute they were obliged TO come here aud
pay high prices for our cotton after peace
was declared. Respectfully,
C. IFDIIF
