Mr. Hanson SAID the panic of 1873 did not try
the Southern manufacturers so seriously
as they are tested by the agitation and
uncertainty Of to-day. Dealers eyery-
where are buying from hand to month y
Mr. Hanson frankly said that in the past the tariff
question had not been regarded in the South as an
economic one, but that prejudice had alraved the
Southern people on the side of free trade and as
he now believes, 10 their detriment. While The
manufacturers of the South now favor the mainfe-

majority Of all the people there do, for that ques-

Mr.. Hanson said he had tried to find market in
England for his cotton yarns and had sent samples
Of them to John Bright who replied that they were
the best he had ever of their kind so good in
deed that LIE could not afford to use them. He re-
turned the samples, and also sent a sample Of the
yarn he was using Mr.. Hanson said it was made
of "cottOn waste" In any comparison of the prices
Of English and American carpets, therefore, the
materials used in each ought to be taken into ac-
count.
