New England manufacturer himself.
The Idea may dawn through the mind
OF the hard-headed New England manu-
facturer, when 1t Is too late, that q
protective tariff cannot maintain prices
In the face OF slow, cruel, grinding
monetary contraction"
1t has become no longer profitable
to invest in Industrial enterprises in
New England, declares our contem-
porary, and that section may reduce
wages In her factories to q level with
those OF Manchester. Still the South
will undersell her. And why? The
South has Il homo market right at her
doors. which .can largely he supplied
In the way Of trade and barter. New
England has no such opportunities.
She must sell for cash to the jobber,
who In return must sell direct to the
consumer for cash also. The cotton
grower of the South has q market at
HIS own door for his product. So has
the coal miner. So has the food pro-
Queer, and so has skilled labor to n
large extent. Last of all comes the
manufactures and monopolizcs his local
or home market and shuts out the New
England manufacturer from a market
that he once controlled"
New England has sought to make
money dear. The result is seen in
cheap goods at the South, that have
driven the New England manufacturer
out Of his own market. He can point
70 his smokeless chimncys, to his ST.
lent spindles. and to his massive piles
or masonry. Their glory and produce
tiVeness have departed forever. In his
efforts TO secure cheap cotton, chcap
coal, cheap fool and cheap labor the
New Highlander has at last outdone
himself"
1t Is firm in the opinion that New
England, despite all she can do in the
way OF cheapening labor with a view
or stemming the current which has set
In against her, is to be driven from
market to market. If the South Is out
stripping her now in the way Of cotton
fabrics what will the South do in the
next ten or twenty years from now?
Inc Journals answer to 1t is most be-
hitting; which Is that, "a bale Of South
ern cotton or n sack of Western wool
Will be as much of n rarity in New
England as a cargo OF forclgn-maSa
goods"

NEW ENGLAND CANNOT COMPETE
WITH TDESOUTH

Upon It's face this Is n bold assertion
cotton facts warrant the statement.
The New York Financier has taken the
trouble to look up the great Increase
in cotton manufacture in the South,
ana as n result 1t ind that New
England is confronted by a competl-
her industrial future unless unforeseen
and improbable circumstances arise to
enable her TO regain a lost supremacy"
While the F%lnancler does not openly
admit the fact, yet there Is that about
what 1t has to say of the prevailing
conditions in the respective sections
which justiics the belief that It Is of
the opinion hat New England cannot
compete with the South in the cost of
the production, otherwise what does It
mean by her lost supremacy" when
speaking of New England?
The Peoria Qll.) Journal and The
NlrSintan has agreed that this is one
reason why the cotton operatives of
New England are being asked to accent
a reduction in wages. for there is no
question as to The straits to which
the manufactures there are being
pushed.
The Boston Textile World, a journal
published in the heart of New England.
declares that zone OF two things will
have 10 be done; either the hours of
labor in Massachusetts VIII have 10 he
extended, or the wages Of operatives
VIII have to he reduced. The latter is
the more likely. Southern competition
with Massachusetts mills Is more de-
trimental than IL foreign competition
on the lower grade OF goods"

CARDS this, and very properly SO, as an
acknowledgement that Southern com
petition is far kecner than most Now
