OPELOUSAS, PARISH LANDRY. AUGUST ls99

One of the conundrums of the
hour is why the sending of Il
cablsgram to Gen. Otis, con
veying an expression of Mr.. Me
kinley S confidence in him, and
satisfaction with all he has done
including his press censoring,
should have been kept secret for
ten days after it was sent? Some
say that Mr.. Mckinley wanted to
ascertain how far public senti-
ment would go in supporting the
demand for the recall of Otis,
and that if that demand had been
a little stronger, the cablegram
would have been suppressed en-
tirely. 1t was evidently kept
back for some purpose. And it
wouldn't have been the first time
that official matters have been
made public or suppressed by
this administration in Difference
to the state of public opinion.

Cotton Mills.

II: II. Hargrove who was re-
Gently sent to the New England
States by the N. O. Picayune to
investigate the workings of the
great cotton mills of that section,
has secured much valuable infor-
nation on the subject, and among
other things says:
"The trip to New England is
made with the view to throwing
any light WITCH may be possible
on the great Industry which con-
Germs the people Of the eight cot
ton growing states. 1t may be
well to recall the primary fact
that Now England is composed of
the following extreme Eastern
States: Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Cen
nectlcut and Rhode Island. The
entire six states contain an area
OF 36,465 square miles, which is
only three quarters of the size of
Louisiana, and yet the assessed
wealth in 1890 represented nearly
81 1000, 100000. Louisiana at that
time represented 1926, 100000 of
assessed wealth. Louisiana grows
cotton and New England has for
a century been manufacturing cot
ton.
"New England, though only
three quarters the size of Louisi-
ana, has four times the popula-
ton, but twenty times it's wealth.
Louisiana had in 1890 2,6l3 man
ufacturing enterprises, while Con-
nscticut had G, 1922, Main had 5 ,O4O,
Massachusetts 1923, New Hamp-
shire 1929, Rhode Island 3,377
and Vermont 3,O31. Thus COM
bined they had a total of 4s,422
manufacturing establishments. A
large number of these represent
ed cotton, wool, hides and timber,
which came from Louisiana. OF
this number 456 were cotton man
ufacturing establishments, ope-
rating 11,G00, 10000 spindIes and
paying in wages alone $54 100000.
'Louisiana that year grew 659.-
$50 bales of cotton and received
about s33, 100000 for the crop.
Estimating that each hand made
four bales, we find that it required
145,00O persons to grow crop of
660,00O bales, netting an average
for wages and all expenses and
supply for family $50, 900, 900.
"The census shows that 14S,-
718 cotton factory operators,
mostly women and children, re-
ceived for wages that same year
$54 200, 900.
"Let us draw a wholesome les
soa from these tale-telling fig
ures and go to work to organiz-
ing our mills.
