THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

which charged few months ago that

this matter in the following words:
Fifteen thousand men starved to

voted to m examination into the con-
dition Of labor in the cotton spinning
and weaving industry. Among tho
many witnesses examined was Mr..
Albert Simpson. Of Preston, cotton
spinner. cotton manufacturer and East
India merchant. who said that during
the Last thirty five years the wages Of
cotton operatives had increased from
IS to SO per cent. and at the same time
fall In the price Of commodities had
taken place.
There Is doubtless much poverty
among the working classes in England:
but the above statement does not look
- II "British free trade" had any part
In causing that poverty. II Is not
enough for our protectionists TO point
out that wages In England are low; the
decisive fact Is that wages there are
becoming higher.
But how is il with us? Wages have
gone up here to some extent In thirty
years, but not so much as the wages
OF the English cotton spinners nd
weavers just referred 70; and in .omc
states where protected industries are
most numerous. wages have actually
gone down. Here. for example, are

COTTON MANUFACTURES.

a Case showing the Ia atty Of the ..lnf.ns
Industry" Argumsnt-Rapld Growth Of
Southern Cotton Manufacture.
One Of the main arguments put forth
in behalf Of protection Is the so-called
Infant industry" argument that man.
ufacturing enterprises cannot spring M
IN new country In competition with
those well established and in success.
ful operation In older countries. unless
these young enterprises are protected
from such competition.
The falsity Of this assertion is now
being proved in our own country In
most conspicuous case. that OF cotton
manufacturing in the south. During
the past ten years the south's cotton
manufactures have more than trebled
the mum Der of spindles, showing an in
crease from 667. 900 to 2,130.OO0. The
gain In the mum Der OF spindles there
has been very much greater than the
gain in the country at large. the tota:
number Of spindles in the United States
being now Is, 407. 800. against 1908. as
In 1850 The rate Of increase in the
country at large was IS per cent. while
that for the south alone was s2s per
cent
But, the protec zionist will ask. what
has all this to do with the infant indus
try argument? Are not the cotton
mills Of the south protected lust a.
much as those Of the north?
From foreign competition, YES: but
the competition which the cotton mills
Of the south have had to meet has come.
not from across the ocean, but from
northern mills This is the only com.
petition which needs to be taken nc.
count Of in this case. since no cotton
goods OF the kinds made in the south
are imported The young cotton mills
Of the south have had to compete with
the long-estab lished mills Of the north
and with these alone; yet they have
much more than held their own IN the
struggle. They have succeeded IL
wrestling the spinning and weaving Of
,oarser goods from the north almost
entirely, and are now turning their A.
ion to the produc Of the finer
trades Of goods.
And this has all been accomplished
without particle Of protection against
heir strong northern rivals
Thus we are proving in our own
ountry the shallowncss and falsity Of
ne infant industry" argument.
