The reason for the depression in
the cotton mill business in the
New England states is not hard to
find. In 1871 not 10 per cent of
the cotton used by mills in the
United States went to southern
mills; IN 1892 the proportion had
increased to about Is per cent,
and in 1896 the southern mills
used about 40 per cent of the cot.
ton that went to American mills.
Lower wages and longer hours
prevailed in the southern mills,
and the New England mills are
being affected by the competition.

At first blush it is not apparent what
is to be gained from an investigation by

about it, however, the reason for such

gate the Maine. It is an object lesson

Spain will lose all control. The pub

position Of the other islands will pro-
badly be determined in a way that
will be to the best interest of Ameri-
ca and the rest of the world. Spain
is receiving very little consideration
and will certainly not be given control
again of any of the islands.
