THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH.
The future of the South is as
sure as the promise of the rain
bow. The people are in pos
session of the sources of their
wealth, and no syndicate nor
corporation, however strong 01
greedy, can dispossess them.
The cotton spinner in Eu
rope is losing money every day
lie turns a wheel. And but for
the presence of pauper labor,
he would, under present con
ditions, be forced to close his
business for all time. The man
ufacturing of cotton goods hi
Europe has hud its dny. How
can it be otherwise when the
cotton spinner in England must
pay freight on raw material
3,000 miles away, make it up
with machinery, no better than
tliut in operatiou by the side of
the cotton field iu the South,
and then pay freight and tariff
on the manufactured article to
be wold in the markets of this
country? China looks not on
ly to America for her white
goods, bat tc the factories of
the South for no small per cent
of these. It will not be many
years before English people'
will be found wearing Bhirts
and sleeping on sheets woven
in the cotton mills of the South
We say the South, for the rea
son that the mills iu this sec
tion will lead in low prices of
manufactured goods, and this
as a matter of course will put
its goods first on foreign mar
kets.
Il looks now that the manu
facturing interest* of this coun
try, especially of cotton and of
iron, is approaching« crisis
never before experienced. Ihe
Southern people are, as the
strong man who is on the in
side of his house, he must first
be dispossessed before he can
be robbed of his goods.
The Southern people are in
possession of the necessary re
sources for manufacturing pur
poses. Thev have the land and
the labor, and the capital and
the energy to work; who shall
stand in their wav? What hin
ders them that they should foil
of the highest success?
