The Cotton Manufacturers’ Opportun
ity.
The recently issued Bullutin of the
Department of Commerce, showing
that the consumption of cotton in the
United States during th« ten months
ended June 30, 156,661 bales
greater than in the corresponding
period of last year, is conclusive an-:
swer to the iterate and reiterated
charges of the Republicans that the
domestic; tariff was flooding the coun
try ivith the products of European
n.ill]s and shiitting down American
factories. It is concrete evidence that
American manufacturers . can hold
their own against foreign competitors
even under normajl conditions, but
it especially emphasizes the ability
of the former to take the widest pos
sible'advantage of the extraordinary
situation in the neutral markets of
the world broug-ht about by the con
flict in which the gi-eater part of Eu
rope is now embroiled. Latin Amer
