Cotton Mills North and South.
Courier Journal.
Three years ago Mr.. L. Jefferson
Coolidge, head Of the great Amos
keag Mills IF New Hampshire, was
as pessimstc as a Kansas calamity
bowler. The dav of the New
England cotton mill had passed for
good, he said. The competition Of
the South and Northern legislation
to shorten hours and raise wages
had made it impossible for the
manufacturer to keep on his feet.
But the other dav the AmOskeag
Mills declared semi annual d.
vidend Of S per cent. Last year
they paid two semi annual dividends
of 4 per cent each. Ten per cent
dividends in staple manufacturing
business seem a very good thing to
the ordinary investor, especially to
the man who has "salted down" his
money in 3 per cent. bonds.
The truth OF the matter is that
while Southern mills undoubtedly
have great advantage over their
Northern competitors, yet as long
as it is profitable to manufacture
cotton in England and on the Con
tinent, the New England mills need
not despair. Labor is somewhat
cheaper in Europe. but the Amer
lean mill hand is SO much more
efficient that the difference is not
material. The United States ought
to work up all or nearly all the raw
material it now exports. When the
time comes that instead of selling
our cotton abroad we shall work it
up into the finished products and
then sell them, an ideal condition
will be attained, but not until then.
In the meantime the South is
rapidly developing its manufactures.
During the month of July new mills
and additions to old ones were re-
ported with an aggregate capacity
of 100, 600 spindles and Lana
looms These involve an outlay
OF S2,25o, 900 on plants and ma
chinery, d very considerable sum.
Several New England companies
are now investigating sites in the
South and more mills and factories
will be built. The old mills in the
East will be maintained, and while
the future increase will be chiefly
in the cotton and the border States,
it by no means follows that the
permanently unprof table. That
undesirable state of affairs we trust
is yet long way off.
