HOPE FOR NEW ENGLAND.
Her Cotton Industry Is Not Injured
by Southern Competition-Spin-
dies of the World.

There has been much talk of recent
years of the growing manufacture of
the cotton in the south, and it has even
been intimated that the increase in the
number of spindles in the south was a
menace to the industry in the north.
Undoubtedly there was apprehension
in Fall River or thereabouts six or
eight years ago, and some capitalists
felt the cotton manufacturing prop
erty in New England was doomed.
Such, however, was the fear of the
timid and easily scared. The cotton in
dustry in New England is likely to keep
on growing and to remain prosperous
SO long as the world demands such a
tremendous quantity of cotton cloth.
Manchester and the people of England
ell feel the pinch of southern compe-
tition long before Fall River and Prov
idence. But unquestionaDly the south
is to be congratulated on the brave
start that has been made in what is in
that section a new industry. There are
100000, 900 %spindles in the world. OF
these II, SIC 1000 are in the United States
and 100000 are in the southern states.
So we see that while in the country 17A
per cent. of the cotton cloth of the
world is woven, that in the southern
states 20 per cent. of this is made. This
is more than a beginning. 1t is a brave
achievement. But it is silly and timid
to have fears for New England. New
England is thousands of miles nearer
the cotton fields than old England, and
old England last year made As per cent.
of the cotton cloth of the world, and in
continental Europe 81 1-3 per cent. was
made. Those are the fields upon which
the southern industry will encroach. il
it must encroach on any. But. it is like
ly that the increased consumption OF
cotton cloth will always keep up with
the increase in the number of spindles.
There is no fear in the world-that is,
no reasonable fear-that New England
will not be able to look after herself

A wager was made, Nawn and Jacobs
placing $40O In the hands Of the res
