The Eide Has Turned.

Who would have believed ten years ago
that the cotton spinners of Lowell would
meet to devise ways and means to keep
it's trade from being taken away in its
own streets by Southern competition? Yet
these are facts-simple but significant?
The tide has turned. The attention of
the manufacturers of the Union has been
forced Southwark. They have been met
and undersold in their own markets by
competitors possessing neither experience
nor capital, and this has compelled their
attention. Unwilling to acknowledge
it, they see with business like fore.
sight that this is only beginning-that
every furnace nov in blast and every
cotton mill south of Mason and Dixon's'
line will be multiplied many fold within
the next decade. An industry undersold
is an industry disabled. It must either
find market inaccessible to its rival,
cut down its expenses, 60 out Of business,
or locate upon the enemy's ground and
compete on equal terms. This last is the
only solution. Markets are open to all.
Competition has already reduced wages
to minimum. Weary of the unequal
struggle and mindful of certain defeat,
the shrewd business men of the entire
country are looking South and seeing here
the assurance of glorious future found

Southern Timber.

The importance of conserving the
Southern timber supply is q subject the
press cannot too frequently discuss, if its
discussion be according to truth and rea
son. Says Colonel ". II. Pinckney in
letter to the Direy that many of the
leading lumbermen in the Northwest are
quietly purchasing all the pine land they
can possibly get, with the view to NOV.
ing South in the near future; that the
Southern lumbermen can scarcely supply
the immense demand, and IN nearly
every instance are increasing the capac.
ity of their mills, and that new mills are
being established daily along the routes
Of the new railroads and the lumber
business of the South is assuming gigan.
tic proportions. He goes on to say that
very few even in the South realize the
enormous value of our pine forests, and
thousands of acres are being gobbled up
by the Northern syndicates at the paltry
price of two or three dollars an acre. 1t
is folly to cell at such prices, for at the
present rate of stumpage, in few years
the white pine forests will have almost
disappeared, and then yellow pine will
sell for even better prices than it is now
bringing, aud virgin forest lauds will
triple in value.
1t might be said that the South holds
the reserve supply of the country's lum.
ber, and as new railroads are being cot.
stantly constructed new pine lands are
developed for the lumber business and
then they are worth from SO to $50 an
acre. It is estimated that there are
212,997 ,000,0 900 feet of yellow pine stand
ing in the South to day. At q valuation
of ten dollars thousand feet, the total
value of this forest wealth reaches the
startling amount of 81, 129, ,37O,0 900.
The Tfadesman has said all this before;
and we have said many other things
bearing on this subject, but the folly of
selling off the South's best timber lands
for a song goes on without abatement.
Northern syndicates of speculators, men
who have no idea of developing, now

Missississippi and Louisiana. By and by
the Southern lumbermen will be com.
PEELED to take these lands at the specu.
lators' own price, and that will be nearer
$50 an acre than $40.
There is no fixed property in this sec.
tion that will pay better interests to its
holder in the next twenty years than will
q good tract of timber, and it don't mat.
ter much where the tract may be located.
No Southern man of foresight and sense
will sell timber land if he can possibly
hold little Tradesn,an.

ALIEN LANDLoRDIsNI.
A Bill to Prevent Aliens From Acquir-
ing Land in the United States.

A Bill to Prevent Aliens From Acquir-
ing Land in the United States.
WASHINGTON, June th.-Representatiye
Oats, from the Committee on Judiciary.
to-day reported to the House bill to pro-
hibit aliens from acquiring title to or own
ing lands within the United States. An
elaborate report accompanied the bill
In 1t the committee says the power of
the Government to totally exclude aliens
from coming within its jurisdiction, as has
been done in the case of Chinese no one
questions. This sovereign power certainly
includes the lesser one of defining what
property rights they may exercise after
they are admitted and during the continu-
ance of their alien condition.
Your committee ascertained, says the re-
port, with reasonable certainty, that GER
tain noblemen of Europe, principally
Englishmen, have acquired and now own
in the aggregate about q, 100000 acres OF
land within the United States. We have not
sufficient Information to state the quantity
held by untitled aliens, nor is it so impor.
tant, as it is generally held in smaller
bodies. This alien nonresident owner
ship will in the course of time lead to a
system OF landlordism Incompatible with
the best interests and free institutions of
the United States. The foundation of such
system is being laid broadly in the West
ern States and Territories.
The ayarice and enterprise of European
capitalists, the report continues have
caused them to invest many millions in
American railroad and land bonds, cover
ing perhaps 100 GOO 600 acres. the greater
partcf which, under foreclosure sales, will.

property OF these foreign bondaolders, in

This aggressive foreign capital is not con.
fined to the lands it has purchased. but is
Overlapping its boundaries and has caused
hundreds of miles OF the public domain to
be fenced up for the grazing of vast herds
of cattle, and hiss set at defiance the rights
of the honest but humble settler.
The bill proposes 10 place these aliens
under the disabilities of the civil law as to
all future attempts TO acquire lands in this
country. In other words, the report says
the bill is declaration against absentee
landlordism. 1t declares all foreign. born
persons who have not been naturalized in.
capable of taking title to lands anywhere
within the United States, except a lease
hold for term not exceeding five years
1t has no retroactive, but a prospective
operation.
1t also contains provision which will
compel alien land owners TO cease 10 be
such. or to become citizens of the United
States within ten years. The bill, the re-
port says, would prevent any more abuses
like that of Mr.. Schully, who resides in
England, and is a subject of the Queen,
but who owns 10000 acres in Illinois, occu-
pied by tenants, mostly ignorant foreign.
ers, from whom he receives as rent
about $4,000 yearly, and expends it
IN Europe. The Schully estate of about
1000 acres within the city limits of Pitts
burgh and Allegheny, from the rents of
which the Schullys, who are subjects of
the British Queen, draw annually not less
than 500 600, is another instance of alien
landlordism in America. The tenth census
shows that the United States had $1,000
tenant farmers, the largest number pos
sessed by any nation in the world.
In conclusion the report says: With the
natural increase in people and foreigners
VINO mock to our shores annually, and bv
competition are reducing the wages of
LABOR making battle for our people, is a
problem for American statesmen to solve.
Multiplication of owners of soil is CORE
spending enlargement of the number of
patriots, and every landowner in this
country should owe allegiance to the
United States.
