AS TO THE GLUT OF COTTON

There is said to be some danger OF our over
doing the cotton business. The Chamber Of
Commerce Of this State. reviewing the trade in
that commodity last year. points out that such
is the case. The number and capacity of cotton
mills are being increased at great rate. The
number OF spindles in the South has increased
from 1870, 900 to 5S19S3 in four years That
indicates a splendid industrial development OF
the South. The North is not, however to be
outdone by its fraternal rival. It too has in
creased its number Of spindles in the last four
years, from 13,9OO,OOO to 15O5OOO0 Thus, the
total number of spndles in the United States
has grown in four years from 1850 300 10
20, Se9,s35. Even these figures do not fully rep
resent the growth of the industry, for of course
the new factories and machinery are of in
creasingly efficient types. Upon such progress
one would say, the country is to be congratu-
lated. Unfortunately, however, the progress Is
too rapid aud is leading to overproduction The
Chamber of Commerce report to which we have
referred reminds us that even with consump-
ton at its maximum the cotton mills cannot be
run at full time, and even with short time the
market is burdened with unsold stocks. "The
need evidently is some provision for the large
Surplus OF goods"
Well, why not sell some of our surplus cotton
TO Cuba? There is populous and growing
country lying almost w'+hin sight of the shores
of our cotton States. l people require large
quantities OF cotton goL They must get
them somewhere Why should they not take
few millions worth each year from US? AS a
matter OF fact they do not Last year we sold
Cuba only $464 900 worth OF cotton goods while
in the same year she bought from other coun-
tries more than $5,6OO,OOO worth. That is to
say, supplied Cuba with less than 8 per cent
Of her cotton goods. Why, that is less than we
sold San Domingo. 1t is less than we sold TO
Indies, or to Australia. 1t is less than half
what we sold to Chill, a country so remote so
difficult of access and so little inclined to Guilt
vate intimate relations with us. Nay it Is less
than One-fourth as much as we sold to Door
little Porto Rico!
Our Southern friends who have been opposing
reciprocity with Cuba will do we'll to consider
close their cotton mills for time to check over
production, or find the market glutted with un-
sold stocks or suffer from ruinously low prices
they will do we'll to remember that only few
miles south of them is country that is eager
to buy their cotton to the extent of five or six
millions of dollars worth a year. That is not
an enormous amount, but it is something. II
entirely new market at the other side of the
world we should set the American eagle to
screaming at a great rate over our commercial
enterprise. Yet here Is a market right at our
doors literally begging US for a chance to buy
