The Cotton Situation.

The opening of the cotton season does
not present any very encouraging fea-
lures to planters. The singular contra
dictions IN the market are a subject of
general remark, and seem TO show that
the price ia abnormally low. The price
In New York is full cent lower than it
was this time last year, while the visible
supply is %, 600 bales less than it was q
year ago, ana the estimates of the new
crop of the present year are on an aver
age quarter OF million bales less than
were the estimates of last years crop
made year ago.
At this date last year the spectators
looked for rise in the price, while for
the past week or two the speculation has
been for q decline. 1t is stated that the
stock of cotton In the hands of the spin
ners is greater than at this time last
year, but the mills have less goods on
hand than they had year ago.
1t is the general belief that the WAYS of
the cotton spectators are past finding
out, but it is more than likely that the
price OF the staple will increase ma
terially in the near future. Notwith.
standing the mighty influence OF the
bears, the law of demand and supply
must assert itself, and the result cannot
be very doubtful.
The present price of cotton is not far
from the cost OF production and market
ing under favorable conditions. There is
no pro1t in cotton at less than nine cen Is
per pound at the sea coast. Planters,
therefore, should hold their crops for
little while, il they are in a condition to
do so. There can be little doubt that
considerable rise will take place in the
price sooner or later, and that planters
can run little or no risk by storing their
cotton in anticipation OF a better market.

The Pennsylvania wOrkmen's need for
other protection than that derived from a
war tariff Is thus commented on by the
Philadelphia Record: while many mill
employees are undoubtedly careless in ap .
preaching or handling machinery, there
is often great neglect on the part Of
owners and superintendent in taking
ordinary precautions against accidents
arising from the needless exposure of
dangerous belts, pulles and cog wheels.
The laws relating TO the protection OF
workmen from the mischances attending
constant proximity to machinery are not
properly observed, ana the operatives
safety usually depends on his unceasing
watchlulness.

Markets for Manufactures.

One of the most important requisites
for the success of a mandatory is that
it shall have a steady and remunerative
market for Its products. The overPro-
duetion in the leading lines of manufac-
ture of late years has been due to the
facts that only the homo markets were
relied on, and that the profits were so
large that an undue proportion OF capital
under the circumstances was invested in
such factories. Mills had either to shut
down or seek foreign markets, and, under
the protective tariff system, it was found
to be more to the advantage of the manu-
faoturers in most instances to shut down,
and throw their operatives out of en-
ployment, than to run on and compete
with foreign manufacturers in the rapidly
extending and almost unlimited markets
OF the world. 1t can be seen that the
enormously high tariff made a wonder
fully nice thing for the manufacturers,
but 1t has been at the expense of consul
mers and those workingmen who have
found employment and the earning OF a
living very uncertain and unsatisfactory.
A few lines OF American manufacture
have sought foreign markets and have
been successful in finding them. These
have been mainly the lines in which the
superior excellence Of the articles pro-
duced first attracted attention and Sc
cured purchasers from abroad. There is
little doubt that other lines would be
equally as successful In finding markets
abroad were proper efforts made. OF
course it cannot be expected that such
efforts will be made as long as it is more
profitable to suspend production and let
the home market ripen for the exclusive
use and benefit of the protected manufac-
turers.
The gradual reduction of the tariff and
the enlarging OF the free list by adding TO
it such raw materials as are in demand
here cannot but encourage tho seeking of
foreign markets. and the result must in
evitably be beneficial. not only to Ameri-
can consumers, but to our manufacturers
and workingmen. The time has evidently
passed when the high tariff can benefit
and build up the protected classes with
out doing great aud permanent harm to
the country at large.
1t is plain in theory and practice that
the present tariff encourages the concen-
traton OF wealth, but almost prohibits it's
production. In the future our manufac-
turers must display more enterprise in
seeking foreign markets, and not depend
alone upon a syStem of taxation for their
beneEt, which must before long be mate.
