LOST OPPORTUNITY

It SIS stated that during the past twelve
months The Incorporation fees paid to the
State of New Jersey were &75SWO. The
suffolk Herald in commenting on this
fact says:
So long ass the Government allows the
great corporations 10 exist and have their
being. why should not New Jersey reap
rich harvest in the Incorporation OF
them? Virginia might as well have
granted the right OF Incorporation TO the
American Tobacco Company. when it
applied. and afterward went to New Jer-
sey. as did others that wanted 10 have
their headquarters in the Old Dominion.
"There is a tide in the affairs Of men
when taken at the food leads ON to- for
tune" Virginia had the opportunity Of
getting upon that tide several years ago
when the American Tobacco Company
asked for charter, but because of the
prejudice which existed here against
organized capital our people drove
that corporation away and there were
those who even went so far as to say
thar the Legislature should pass a bill
prohibiting the American Tobacco Com
pany from purchasing leaf tobacco in
this state. We heard that proposition
urged by men engaged in the leaf to-
bacco business, ana if they had had
their way they would have broken up
every tobacco factory of the American
Tobacco Company in this state and
To-.
The people Of New Jersey were more
sensible. They saw that the tendency
of the times was towards organization.
that giant corporations were COINS TO be
organized, and therefore the Legislature
of New Jersey served notice that it was
ready TO give charters to all corporations
which were willing 10 pay the fees and
to comply with the terms. 1t is certainly
fair 20 presume that the action which
the New Jersey Legislature took in
granting a charter 20 the American To-
bacco Company was the beginning of the
prohtabe business I'm granting charters
which that State has since done. Vir-
ginia had this opportunity, and we know
that Virginia threw il away What has
Virginia been proited by compelling thu
American Tobacco Company 10 go to New
Jersey for its charter? II has not pre-
vented the American Tobacco Company

THE soUTH AM EXPANSION.


&c was stated the other day. and it is a
fact that the South is now building cote
ton factories at the rate Of one a week TO
be more exact our information is That
dfty-seven new cotton factories We're built
IN the Southern States during the past
twelve months. Therefore some of the
timid ones are saying We are going to over
do the business. that We are going TO
build SO many cotton factories that the
country viii be overstocked with cotton
goods. and so the mills Will have TO shu,
down and thousands OF men and women
will be thrown out of employment.
That IS the view OF the old-umer IT
is not the uD-to-date view. There was q
time when American factories depended
entirely upon the home market, and un-
der the Republican view of "a high pro-
tectivo tariff our manufactures thought
little about branching ont ana seeking
trade in foreign lands. But that is an
old story. The new way is TO increase our
manufacturing output far beyond the
needs Of home consumption and then to
seek foreign markets for the surplus
That is what expansion means, and exc
pansiou in that sense is the livost issue
OF this age.
One Of the most interesting statements
that has been made in the Southern
newspapers for a generation IS that which
came a short time ago from the cotton
manufacturers OF South Carolina. They
communicated 20 their representative in
Congress the fact that a large proportion
~ the cotton goods now manufactured
On South Carolina are sold I'm the Chinese
markets Therefore these cotton manu-
facturers said to their representative
in Congress that they wanted The govern
mcnt to stand by that open-door i'm
china and keep ID open. That I it should
be closed il would be nothing short of "a
disaster TO The manufactures of South
Carolina but That IL st should Doc kept
open. South Carolna's trade m That
quarter would continue to grow.
That IS the whole story n a nutshell
The South is quite capable of doubling its
production n raw cotton, and $50 long as
the markets of Che world are open to us
II is quite possible for the South to mani
ufacture into cloth a large portion of the
increased cotton crop and yet find ready
sale in foreign markets Tor every yard
that the mills can produce. We believe
