Taking for example English mills of cotton,
woolen, jute, &c,, we find in the blue BOOKS
that they employ 100000 operatives and in
all mills Of those classes in the United States
there are 100, 600 employed. That nation, which
iswholly free trade nation, has population
Of 100000 people, and employs justten times
az many factory operatives as the United
states with its 81, 100000 people handicapped
ssthey are with high tatn.
Upon these figures the CoWie-Jowaal
bases one OF its lurid articles in favor of
free trade, deducing many conclusions
against our system and In favor Of the
English system.
The compendium OF the United States
census for 1850, page 1874 and following,
contains the following figures as to the
lumber of operatives In these industries at
this time:

This totalis more than two aud. a-hslf
times as large as that given by the rJUricr-
.iVtpitat. and the census report refers eX-
pressly TO the three classes first named as
being engaged In the manufacture of cotton.
These three add up 2O6, ,09i eng aged in cotton
mills. Besides which, 1t is well kn0yu, tdit
since lSS0 the number OF operatives ia
these industries has increased about
fifty per cent, and the number
Low employed Is not less than $4,000
