ISDIyyDUAI ENTERPRISE.

The letter OF Mr.. Barton, published in our
Sunday issue has received the careful stten-
ton which It deserved. not only on account
of the soundness Of the views which 1t ex-
pressed. but also on account Of the weight
which IFS authorship alone gives it. There
are few men in the community, how
ever brief. or however extended their con-
nection with il. who have done more than
Mr.. Barton for the advancement and pro
motion of our local interests-B Barton Heights
is an addition to the city in which very gen
eral pride is felt and it is moreover n stand
ing monument to what individual energy and
determ ination wisely directed can effect. even
under circumstances which at the first glance
appear to be unpropitious TO the highest
success.
The history Of every city shows that its
growth is as much dependent upon the ex-
ample Of few eneerprising and public
spirited citizens who have the sagacity TO dis
cover opportunities and the energy and abil-
ity to use them. as upon the silent influences
arising from a large population bent upon
improving their condition in life. These are
the men who lead the way and by the practical
success attending their plans encourage and
stimulates others to follow in their footsteps.
From an economic point Of view one active,
pushing, liberal-minded. Jealous and indefat-
gable citizen is worth many hundreds who
are SIMPLY content 10 earn livelihood and 70
! allow Affairs to continue in the old ruts.
Richmond has many citizens who in char
acter and ability are entitled to tho respect
and gratitude of the whole community for the
liberal and stirring spirit which they exhibit in
their public relations but this general class
could be very much enlarged. Corporate
bodies can accomplish much for Richmond,
hut individuals can accomplish still more.
That the class of men 10 which Mr..
Barton himself belongs will rapidly in
crease in Richmond we do not doubt, for
as each year passes the confidence which our
people feel in the future of the city steadily
grows. THIS feeling alone IS highly condu-
Give to the exhibition Of a more and more &c
tive and enterprising spirit on the part of in
dividuas. and more and more Jealous action
on the part of corporate bodies.
Compare the Richmond Of to-day with the
Richmond Of 1885. and the difference is most
impressive, even 70 the casual observer The
relative proportions Of the difference between
the Richmond Of 1890 and the Richmond OF
1895 will be much more striking, because in
that period more active aud enterprisinR
spirit will he displayed than has ever before
been exhibited, and each year will only see

tons, would be wholly hers. She

can spin it without the cost Of

In fair. free fight for sotton manufactur-
ing the South can undersell the world, for she
can not only raise the raw material. but she
has every facility night in her midst for its
manufacture. And under these circumstances
she would soon become the queen and mis-
tress Of the cotton trade Of the world. What
tremendous niue Of wealth this would be TO
her cannot be calculated. In a few years It
would give her the monopoly of her leg1ti-
mate advantages as the home Of the cotton
plant. and her growth in prosperity and
power would be phenomenal. II would, even
under such conditions. pay the manuisctur-
ers Of New England to abandon their hne lac
tories. though built at enormous expense,
and reinvest in the South.
If Mr. Harrison touched on this subject in
the interests of Protection. he made a great
mistake. The North and South are both be
ginning to realize the great superiority Of the
South rs a cotton manufacturing region, and
already factories are springinG up all over this
section. Protection or no Protection, the
South is destined eventually to control this
most valuable industry, but the result would

THE SOUTH AND COTTON.

President Harrison, in hisspeech last Friday
in Memphis said Il rejoice in your adding
TO diversified agriculture, diversified manu-
featuring pursuits, that you are turning your
thoughts 10 COMPRISING and ginning cotton
as well as 10 rais NJ it, know no reason why
these cotton States that produce rs per cent.
of the worlds cotton should not spin the
greater portion of it; no reason why they
should not export IT as raw material and rs
manufactured product. holding in their midst
the profits from the transportation of raw
material 10 the finished product"
No doubt President Harrison's idea is that
Protection would bring To the cotton States
all these manifold blessings of which he
speaks; but the real truth is that the reason
why the cotton States of the South, which
produce 70 per cent. of the cotton OF the
world, and have the raw material right at
their doors, do not to-day spin it all is be-
cause Of protection The high protective
tariff which has prevailed in this country has
enabled New England and old England both
