SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS.


The Manufacturers Record of Balti-
more, in It's Issue OF February 4, pre-
sents an exhaustive diEquisition upon the
subject OF cotton mills in the south, which
is fisttering and will be CT infinite service
to the country, as 1t demonstrates that
the south, where the cottonsis raised, is
where it must be manufactured. Since
1870 the number Of spindles in the south
have increased 100 per cent, and by the
end of 1883 it is expected that the south
will have 1875, 600 as sgsinst $3.50 in
1888. Georgia leads all other southern
states il tie number Of spindlss, while
Texas, where 100000 bales OF cotton
ere annually produced, is comparatively
without mills. That there should be
any fears about oVercrowding this spin
ming enterprise it is stated this.
f. would require an investment of $780,
900. 600 to procure machinery sufficient
to consume the crop of this country. Out
of an estimated 77,1lO,OOO spindles in the
world, the United States has only Is, 00O,-
900, while Great Britain has $4,000 900,
Or more than half. It has been proven
that the question OF securing skilled labor
does not trouble the southern mills.
LaOorers can be obtained for all depart
ments, and skilled labor especially pre-
fers the south to the north. The only
trouble found is one which can soon be
remedled by proper organization, and
that is the bondsge Of southern mills to
eastern brokers or commits There
is not capital enough to act independent
of these commissioners, and SO
long as southern mills pay tribute
to them, they must expect TO
make slow Roadway. This will soon
pass away and southern mills will be able
to get their products to the market with
out the aid OF eastern brokers. It will
be glorious day for the south when she
can control her principal product from
the time the heecy staple is first picked
until 1t Is ready for the consumer. There
will be no idle labor, tax upon the
country, and reign of prosperity will sci
in which Will make Of this section what
nature intended 1t should be, the
wealthiest place on earth. The Msnufsc
turers' Record has done great work fol
the south and it is appreciated.

"The object OF this convention is az

the home Of refugees and the rendezvous
for crime and crimin2ls, Or whether it
snail be made perfect by the sk;llful

TIE BREIEERS TROUBLE.

The trouble existing between the brew
ers Of Milwaukee and their workmeu
will attract the attention OF thinkers for q
number of reasons, and for none more SO
than that the striking workmen are net
at sll cnary about discussing the execu-
ton of the Chicsgo anarchists, which
they describe as "the judicial murder in
tended to terrorize the universal move
ment for the emancipation OF labor into
timorous apathy" There is something
ludicfous in the statement which their
circular sets forth: "Every swallow OF
Milwaukee beer now means the support
Of non-union labor, snd the prosecution
Of fair labor" It is a fact well known
that every swallow ut Milwaukee or
any other kind OF beer is d loss Jan q
persecution to2the lsborers who indulge
the appetite, whether union.or non union,
and while we may smile at the honest
disiDgenuousness OF the warning to look
not upon the Milwaukee, beer when it
foams, the fact that this large body of men
should place themselves on record before
the country as being Of the opinion that
the execution OF the Chicago anarchists
was Judicial MURDER" is 5 matter that
calls for serious consideration. 1t shows
that the sympathies Of this class Of
people are with the anarchists and that
the poison OF their vicious teachings has
permeated and polluted greater por-
ton Of the social fabric thsn was at first
supposed. The Knights Of Labor, through
their chief officers, have denounced
anarchy, and refused to express sym
pathy with even those condemned
Chicago leaders, but 1t seems thht the
Brewers Union think differently. The
members of the Brewers Union are ex-
Knights who have seeded from that
order on account Of its conservatism and
set up On their own account. They con-
stitute the rabid element of the labor
movement and their large numbers and
thorough organization make them .
power IN the land for good or evil.

this way, being an injustice to the poorer

larger than the total cash on hand render

THE DENVER CATTLE CON

PENIION.
The meeting of the International

sentative men from the cattle growing
states. II will De attended largely ny

Of the new route over the Fort Worth

assured will be ready to accommodate

Denver will, on that occasion, be formally
linked together by ties that will not soon
sunder, and a good number Of our prom
inent citizens should make It convenient
TO attend. Speaking Of the cattle con-
vention the Denver News says:
dts terms are such as will bring to-
gether 8 large assembly of practical
men who are identified with range cattle
growing. The wisdom Of making the In
vitation general to all who are interested
will not be questioned. This is almost
the only industry tbs. is not we'll organ

How it Beats tho Farmers.
HHsDandman.

The tariff on wool is the bone which
the burglar throws to the dog. It is q
scheme to pacify the farmers, while the
manufacturers and spectators become
millionaires at their expense. The fact
is, farmers of America pay more In the
form OF taxes on wooden goods than they
receive in the form CT extra compeDsa-
tion on the product Of their fCcke, and
for this one farm product which is pro-
tecte d to tleir possible advantage, there
are thousand things whose protection
enriches the manufacturer and specula-
tor at the farmers expense.
