there enough wilderness on the globe
to furnish range for the rearing of
sufficient animals to provide garments
Of skins for mankind. The world of
men and women is clothed today as
never before. It is only within the
last century, with cotton within the
reach of the multitude, that the ma
iority have been adequately clothed.
The heroes of the Revolution were
half clad and that half was rags.
And it is one Of the interesting iron
les of history that during that period,
when the problem of clothes was SUI
preme, both in America and abroad,
Richard Arkwright, who invented the
spinning frame, and James Har-
greaves, who invented the spinning
jenny, creations which were t.
change the history Of the race, had
their machines destroyed by the en-
ragged and half-clad populace, who
feared the competition of these labor
saving devices.
Our New Destiny.
We smile at the short-sighted folly
of that day, and yet the progress in
the use and manufacture Of cotton
will be as tremendous in the coming
years as in the past. There is an
actual kingship for cotton, not only
commercially, but politically; and this
sovereignty Of cotton in America I be-
ieve to be at hand.
We shall awake to our new destiny
as a world-power and trading nation
when we realize fully that the South
ern section Of our Republic is virtual
ly the exclusive source Of a commod-
ity absolutely indispensable to the
myriads of mankind from New York
to Shanghai, from Nome to Monte
video, from London to the Cape. Less
than one and quarter million Ameri-
cans, in fourteen states Of this
Union, hold in their hands the COM
fort, the luxury, the destiny Of man
kind.
An enormous profit is made some
where in the progress Of cotton to the
consumer. Every year cotton goods
to the value of nearly six billion dol
lars are turned out from the 125, 000,-
900 spindles in the world. But the
poor farmer in the cotton fields sees
but a pitiful part Of the multiplying
fortunes attending the migration of
cotton goods around the earth. The
Southerner sells raw cotton to Japan,
and the mills at Osaka turn out prod
ucts that outsell our goods in Shang-
hal and Canton; and the japanese cot
ton manufacturer, travelling in state to
America, may wonder wherein the
half-fed Southern farmer-a vassal
tenant-following his one mule in the
furrow, has advanced in civilization
over the only recently awakened pa
gan Of the East.

finished cotton products across the
sea. The only foreign customer that
counted at all Importantly in the
totals OF our export trade was China,
and our market there has pitiably de-
cllned. England, Germany, and Japan
are forcing our ships from the Pacific,
just as they crowded them off the
paths of the Atlantic. We should be
carrying cargoes of cotton goods to
all ports of the earth. Instead Of that
the nations send here for eighty per
cent of there raw supply, manufacture
it into all forms of commodities, out
sell us in all the world s markets, and
even successfully ship the manufac-
tured goods back to the Americans
who produce the raw supply. Switz-
erland, for example, which grows no
cotton, whose mountains yield no coal
for its factories, a country that has
not an inch Of seacoast or a plank
ahoat sends to us, in the ships of
other nations, more finished cotton
goods than we export to all the coun-
tries of Continental Europe combined.
Americas future, when she realizes
her heritage and opportunity in cotton,
will eclipse anything that has been
foretold for this republic. It is only
within the last hundred years that
cotton has conquered the world. The
career of this plant has scarcely be-
gun. The remarkable pace in its prog
ress to power is revealed by the
quaint fact that in 1884 eight bags Of
American cotton was seized by the
customs authorities at Liverpool, the
sage British verdict being that the
importation was fraudulent, as so
much cotton could not possibly be pro-
duced in one year in America! Iu
Napoleon's campaigns thousands of
the wounded could have been saved
had there been an adequate supply
of cotton for bandages.
Before Eli Whitney's time it took
a man in his home two years to sepa-
rate one bale of cotton from the seed.
The yield of cotton thus handicap
ped on it's way to the wearer was I'M
important. There had been cotton
from remote antiquity. The mucnmies
of Peru we're wrapped in it. The an
cient Hindus wove it, and by some
forgotten art the weaving was five
thousand times finer than is to be
found in any Of the fabrics of modern
times. Cotton was sacred thread
among the Brahmans, and the theft cf
it serious crime. In the gardens Of
Chinese temples at the present day A
special variety of cotton plant is
found which is nowhere else grown
From its yield the vestments of the
Confucian priests are made.
Great Britain has made an organ
lied and scientific effort to raise a
supply that would make her ind epend-
ent of America, for the statesmen of

ton is spread upon his tables; it is in
the upholstering Of his chairs. If he
takes a ride on the Flying Limited
it is cotton waste in the wheel
boxes, through which lubricating oil
is fed to the running-gear that in
sures continuous trip. This is an
electrical age, but without cotton in
sulation on the wires the might of
electricity would be menace.
Cotton and the Peace Of the World.
Cotton has within itself, under the
guiding hand of the country which
produces it, the power to bring about
ultimate world-peace. The United
States, by prohibiting the expectation
of raw cotton cargoes to England,
Germany, France, Italy and Switzer-
land, could infict hopeless industrial
paralysis and financial panic upon
those lands. The balance of power is
in our hands to most remarkable de-
gree, but we treat it with Indifference.
One word from America that it
would withhold supplies of cotton
would bring all Europe to terms Of
comfy.
In the meantime, and until we reach
the realization of the potency Of cot
ton, if nations continue to waste their
substance (and their purchasing pow
er) in war, cotton will continue to be
found indispensable in conflict. It is
guncotton that hurls destruction
through the ranks, and it is cotton
that binds up the wounds Of the fall
en-. The japanese in their recent war,
through an unrivalled system of sur
gerry and hospital service, reduced the
death rate of the wounded to an I'M
precedented minimum. Without cot
ton that would have been impossible.
And it is in cotton khaki that the
armies march. And they make their
bivouacs under cotton tents.
Cotton is indeed first in war, as it
is first in peace!
Now we are entering this new age,
the age of aerial fight, and the aero
plane is cotton chariot! On these
wings of cotton we have begun to fly
through the heavens at thirty and
forty miles an hour, and the end is
not yet.
1t is easy to forget, at least to fail
to keep in mind, that cotton cloth, the
cloth of the civilized masses, without
which they would become barbarians,
is the product Of a plant. Cloth grown
from the soil! IF by some botanical
necromancy we could grow finished
garments in the field, and if these gar
ments could be produced in like guam
titles in no other part of the earth,
every man would instantly realize
that America possessed monopoly
which would make all other nations
our petitioners. Yet we have that
monopoly as assured as it would be if

DEFIANCE COSTS HER HEAVILY
ECCENTRIC ENGLIsHwoMAN
IGNORES ORDERS OF COURT.

SANTA BARBARA. Cal. March 30
Not having made an accounting of the es-
tate for eighteen years. Lady Frances

tate left by her husband. Her eldest son.
Thornhll. who petitioned the court. for
an accounting, was made special admins

Lady Broome is an Engishwoman

order to have an attorney, saying that
she could find none she could trust The
defendant collapsed in court and remained

estate are Amy. a daughter, and Monta-
que. a son. The property consists OF

cisco New York and London. Mrs Broome
lost considerable property here on her re-
fusal to be amenable to American law
procedure. She allowed her home In the
city to be sold rather than pay $3.50 for
street work. Since then $1,000 has been
refused for the property. During this

METAL SCHEDULE CONSIDERED
CUSTOMS EXPERT AND MANU-

The metal schedules were under consid-
GRAFTON yesterday by the Senate commit
tee on finance. The committee was as
sisted by the general appraisers and the
examiners Of the port of New York. as
we'll as by number of experts in manu-
featuring metal products. Among the
latter were Judge e. H. Gary of the
United States Steel Corporation, Wilson

concern manufacturing all kinds Of steel
products: Charles Bailey of the Reliance

Company, and President Stackhouse of
the Cambria Iron and Steel Company.
These men were examined chiefly con-
corning the cost of production and the
relative rates Of duty that should be as
sessed against the different products In
comparison with the various metals used
in their manufacture.
Judge Gary went over the Payne bill
and recommended cuts in the duties on
some articles and increases in others.
This was done to illustrate a complaint
made by the steel men that the various
duties on related articles are not properly
proportioned in the Payne bill.
Before entering the committee room
Mr.. Bailey declared that IL the Payne bill
is passed cutting in half the duty on GER

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT

The officers of the steamers arriving
here from lower river points report hav-
ing seen more Wild ducks on the Potomac
river In the past week than at any time
during the winter when the hunting sea-
son was on and the birds were In de-
mand. In Nomini creek Sunday the wa
ter in the vicinity of Beale's wharf was
black with the big birds, but they were
very shy and any attempt to get near
enough to them for effective shooting
was signal to them to fly. and they did
1t before the hunter had an opportunity
to shoot. Wild geese and big white swan
were also seen in large numbers at va
rious. points along the river. but like the
ducks they are reported very wild. and
few, II any of them, are being killed
The birds are reported to be quite fat
and in good condition. 1t is thought more
than probable by rivermen conversant
with the ways of the birds that this will
be their last appearance on the river for
this season. and when they leave this
time it will be for the cold north to re-
main for the summer.
The work of overhauling the river
steamer Harry Randall. in order to put
1t in thorough order for work on a river
route during the summer months. is being
timore shipyard. and 1t is thought that
the steamer will be ready to return to
this city In about three weeks or a month
The Randall is not only being fitted with
new shaft. to replace the one broken
early in January. but her machinery is
being put In thorough order. and the steel
hull. the decks and joiner work are being
renewed wherever needed. The steamer is
practically being rebuilt so that when 1t
returns to service on the river 1t will be
in the best of order. AS soon as the
Randall resumes it's place on the river
route the steamer Wakefield will be with
drawn for its overhauling.
