MARKET FOR coTT0N GOODS

Below Is given an extract from an adj
dreHs delivered by Theodore c. Search OF
Philadelphia. president Of the National
Association OF Manufacturers, before re-
cent meeting of the Southern Cotton Spin
ners' association ut Charlotte, N. c.:
FThe United States is the greatest cot
ton growing country In the world, produc-
ing twice as much as all tie other coun-
tries combined. There IS present here every
condition necessary to make this the
greatest cotton manufacturing country.
1--WE have two thirds OF the worlds raw
cotton right here In the South, water pow
CT 10 drive enough splndles to spin every
pound Of cotton we grow, or II steam powS
er be preferred there is here the cheapest
coal in the world
Labor Is abundant and cheap. capital
is not lacking for any legitimate enter
prise, climatic conditions are all that is
required and when the goods are made
they can be carried 20 the seaboard for
shipment TO a foreign market at lower
transportation charges than are imposed
In any other country for similar distances.
And yet in spite OF all these advant-
ages only 80 per cent OF the cotton grown
In the United States Is spun and woven
utIei 20 per cent OF lue raw uDeT ntiuS
shipped to other countries. none OF which
enjoy the advantages we have. to be man
ufactured into yarn, cloth andt thread and
distributed throughout the world,
~
I'm the calendar year 1899 the exports of
raw cotton from the United States
amounted to sl9t,l67,Si2, while the ex-
ports of cotton cloths were only s19,96S,-
475 in value. For every dollars worth Of
cotton cloth exported last year, $40 worth
OF raw cotton was Furnished to manufact-
urers in Great Britain and on the CONT
nent Of Europe, and by them made into
goods which could just as well be manu-
featured here.
These conditions ought to be reversed.
The exports from the United States should
show nlne-tenths cotton goods and one
tenth raw cotton
THE most striking evidence OF the in-
significance of the United States in the
cotton goods export trade OF the world
is found in a comparison of the exports
from the principal countries. The append
ed table shows the figures for 1897. !n-

outlets must be created for the large sur
plus of goods which the home market
can not absorb.
This is al era OF expansion, and no
progressive manufacturer will undertake
10 argue that no more mills should bo
built or that the production OF existing
plants should be restricted. The propci.
course is that which will broaden the in
dustry and extend its trade
There need be no fear that we shalt
ever have too many cotton mills in the
United States; the only danger is that We
shall have market too small and too
limited to dispose Of their output.
Foreign trade offers a ready solution
OF the whole problem. believe we should
build all the mills we can and run them
day and night, if necessary; but looh
abroad for new markets instead OF allow
ing surplus stock to accumulate and
prices to decline because of a glutted
market
Pursuit OF such a policy will enable
cotton manufacturers of the United States
TO run their mills cn tinuously and al Il
proht, and viii permit indefinite expan-
sion OF the industry. This is the only
course which good business Judgment and
progressive ideas can sanction"

wealth.
Thousands of acres, especially between
the Nueces and the Rio Grande and in
the Panhandle region, capable of adding
millions OF agricultural wealth to the
State but wait for irrigation to make
them TEEN with thrifty and contened
population.
As many more are confined 10 the coast
regions that by drainage will add still
more millions to agricultural wealth.
Good roads bring neighbors closer to-
gether, farmers closer to the local mar
ket, increase tonnage per team and wagon
