COTTON ASKS PROTECTION.

The cotton states of the South have
for years been a stronghold OF free
trade ideas. But there has come a
change OF view among the cotton plant
ers. Time was when TO talk OF inn
porting raw cotton into the United
States was as silly as ITO carry Goals
to Newcastle But that time has gone
by The cotton raised in Egypt is inn
ported into the United States and used
by our manufacturers. Raised by fell
lah labor. among the cheapest in the
! world, ii can be sold here at good
profit.
This Egyptian cotton comes into di-
rect competition with the extra" or
long staple cotton Of the South; and the
competition has become so severe as
to threaten to drive the Southern long
staple out of use in our own mills Dur
Ing the fiscal year ended June 80. last.
American cotton mills used 1900. 200
pounds OF Egyptian cotton. Hence il
is not strange that representatives OF
the cotton-planters of louisiana, Mis-
sissippl. Tennessee and Arkansas ap-
peared before the ways and means COM
mittee, asking for a duty Of three cents
per pound on imported cotton.
Some OF the Southern mossback poll
ticians are horror-stricken at this move.
but the politicians have always been a
curse to the South. and it Is cheering
sign that the men of affairs down there
are beginning to look on the tariff
question in the right light-as a bust
ness proposition and not as a political
tenet. In the early days Of the repub-
lie, before the blighting slavery ques-
ton arose. a duty was imposed on i'm
ported cotton, and John c. Calhoun was
its champion. There is no reason why
cotton planting shall not be properly
protected, the same as wool-growing
and other similar industries.
