The Duty on Cotton.

Editor Morning News: A widespread mis-
understanding evidently exists as to the
purpose and scope of the new duty on i'm
portations of cotton. Why. it is asked, do
we in any way need any protection on
cotton? Why fear foreign competition in
our own markets. when we practically sup
ply the whole world?
The reason will appear when we con-
slider the interests involved so far as con-
Germs the three states, South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida.
OF recent years the cultivation of sea
island cotton has been growing less and
less profitable. The cause has been at
tributed generally to the increasing pro-
duction, but this is an error. The spin
ners of New England have found that they
could profitably mix our sea Islands with
certain foreign cottons. mostly from
Egypt, but some little also from Peru.
These cottons have a staple of fiber some
what superior to that of our upland cot
ton, but much inferior to our sea island,
and considerably lower in price than the
latter.
The practical result is shown in the con-
stantly increasing imports of cotton at
northern ports, chiefly at Boston, which
alone last year took about 10000 bales of
equal weight of our sea island bales. I'm
ports at New York were about %, 900 bales.
Now, as our total sea island
crop was only some 10000 bales.
and large part of that was
| sent abroad, it can easily be seen to what
a serious extent this adulteration of our
sea island cotton with inferior foreign stuff
has progressed. For this foreign cotton
is employed only to adulterate sea islands
or as an out-and-out substitute.
Hence the relative unproftableness OF
growing sea island cotton, and hence the
| conclusion that If any American product
needs protection it is that same sea island
cotton.
Perhaps statement showing recent
changes in relative prices of upland and
| sea island cotton, along with figures show
ing the constant increase in quantity of
foreign cotton imported, would be of in
terest, but must refrain from attempting
such a statistical compilation during the
| present inclement weather, and present
| only the outline of the main facts.

June, in chapel of Wards seminary, two
blocks from Union depot.
Each properly accredited confederate
soldier will be furnished with a badge,
free of cost, which will entitle him to all
the courtesies due veterans.
We ask that commanders of organiza-
lions or chairmen of squads see that each
badge goes to a confederate soldier in
good standing. Any person wearing a
badge who is not entitled to it, should
be branded as a fraud.
Delegates badges will be delivered to
the u. c. V. authorities, who will distrib'
ute them.

building for division headquarters. This

V. meetings. This is three and one-half
blocks from Fogg school building.
The mess hall will be located on Hay

commodate 800 at one sitting-free to

Members of the committee will meet
every railway train at Union depot.
Street Cars-Our system of electric cars
is such that every portion of the city,
TO its utmost limits, is in connection with
all places of our meetings and head
quarters, at one fare of cents.
From present indications the city will
provide accommodations, at reasonable
cost, for all who attend.
We will, as far as we find ourselves
able, provide free lodgings and meals for
al confederate soldiers who cannot pay
for them themselves.
Organizations of any size can secure
rooms and cots or mattresses on reason
able terms. We would urge you to send
representative here some time ahead,
to get your quarters ready by the time
you arrive. This is very important.
Would suggest that each person who
expects to go into camp or sleep on a
cot, bring a blanket and towel.
In the grand parade, on June "a, each
state is expected to furnish its own music
and flags.
Write for further special information.
