15Otl Anniversary of
 Whitney, Who Made
 Throne of King Cotton

Just a century and a half ago to-day there was born in westDoro. Mass, a man child who was destined to rev o1utionize a great industry and thus exercise pre found effect uprc tke political, ocial, >comnercial, int sltec- tiIal and mora, history of "a great 14;I- ton.
 Of all the inventors and inventions of the world. Eli Whitney and his cotton gin were the most dynamic. On that day in 1793 when he patented his epocha1 machine the whole cur rent of history in the United States was changed. If the cotton gin had not sbeen invented, slavery would in all probability have died a natural 1eath, and the. civil war would have 3een aVerted
 Eli Whitney graduated from Yale snd then went to Georgia, where he
 ound a generous patron in the widow
 ! General Greene, of Revolutionary
 a4ne. One day in conversation a
 rfend of Mrs. Greene expressed re- ret that there was no machine by
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-12-08

which the cottonwood could be sep
 arated from the seed. Under the la borious hand process then in vogue 1 one person could clean only about a pound a day.
 '.Wen. you should ask my young l5friend, MT. Whitney to make such a tmachine,. Mrs. Greene laughingly re-
 marked; tfhe can make anything.''
 That conversation was the germ of the great revol olutionary idea of the cotton gin. With only rude planta- ftion tools Whitney constructed, a ma chine that accom- plished the work sat fisfactorily. The news of the mechan- i ical marvel that could do in a day the work of a thousand women soon spread abroad, and Whitney's work shop was broken into and the model carried off. Imperfect machines were
 made and put on the market, and Whitney, in defense of his patent, was Involved in many expensive lawsuits Even State legislatures broke their bargains with Whitney, and, although South Carolina gave him 50,00O. that sum was soon swallowed up in lit1ga- tion.- When Whitney asked for an
 extension of his patent, Congress, at the behest of the members rom the,
 Southern states, refused the prayer, and he was left with, nothing to show for his work The man who had built the throne of King Cotton, was deprived of his reward by the subjects ! of that monarch.
 In 179S Whitney was granted gov ernment contract for the manufacture
 of firearms, and from this industry which he also revoIutionized, he made a fortune. He was the first to effect a division of labor. by which each part was made separately. This new Industrial method, combined with. in- genius machinery, gave him a great advantage over competitors.
 E :Whitney's cotton 1gin was respon- sible for the revival of the dying in- stitution of slavery. By giving al great, impetus to cotton growing, it made slave labor profitable. Tn the fifteen years following the invention of the gin vast nultitudes of Africans were brought to America. Slavery which had been unprofitable and was dying, again became strong and pow erfuI. In the southern states there had been much opposition to slavery as unjust and immoral, but this soon died out under the Influence of that econoInic deterninism which makes men believe that which it is to their
 material interests to believe. Hard by the cotton gin were the slave pen, tn e auction block and the whipping post, the one supporting the others.
