King Cotton Played in Our War With \

Tn The Rise Of the American Peo-
pie" by Prof. Roland G. Usher, re-
i Gently published by the Century
Company. there is much of timely
interest concerning the causes Of the
war with Mexico and the annexation Of
Texas.
The author says that by 1885 the
profits OF cotton culture were clear to
the Southern planters. Apparently the
market was exhaustless; the amount OF
profit obtainable from the labor OF
slaves on virgin soil In the river bot
toms was astounding: unless the land
most profitable to cultivate should be
exhausted or the supply of slaves be-
. come insufficient to work 1t there
seemed literally to he no dreams OF
wealth and power watch might not be
realized. For the time being the supply
Of land and of slaves was ample. but
the rapidity with which the westward
movement was progressing made the
continuation OF the same rate OF growth
improbable unless more land could be
obtained than was available in 1885.
That the same rate Of growth must con-
unue seemed TO Southerners of the
time an axiom whose truth was too
apparent 10 be disputed by any fair
minded individual To continue 1t there
must be more land and more slaves.
The territory between the Alleghanies
and the Mississippi was in 1895 already
organized into States. the lands had
been allotted TO private individuals and
the status Of slavery had been decided
IN a fashion which could not be altered.

pains called the Northwest Territory,
