COTTON.' ITS 11 1 VI Oil Y, ITS IMPOUTANflE, AND SO.TIE'rHIKO ABOUT ITS CUJLTUUE. An Addrebtt Before the February ITIeet iny4f tbe Carolina Fair Association, by Cbas. R. Jones. Gentlemen of the Carolina Fair Association: The fact that you have selected my self to discuss the question of cotton, I regard as a very high mark of your favor. Unfortunately for me, all my knowledge on this important subject has been gained outside of the cotton held. I never dropped a cotton seed, or cultivated a single cotton plant. I may say, then, that all knowledge that I may have on the subject has been gained from reading and from obser vation ; but while it has never been my lot to cultivate our great staple, it can not be said that I am entirely ignorant on so important a subject, and your de sire to hear my views, is evidence that you yourselves do not think so. In this section of the United States cot Ion is not only our clothing, but it is our bread and meat, as well. Its CDnsurjap tion after,lf not before it is converted into cash, furnishes grist for our mills, business for our merchants, and cash balances for our banks. Entering so largely into our economy we will pre mise these remarks very properly, as we believe, with some account of how this great staple has grown to its pres ent immense proportions from very small beginnings. The plant in a rather wild and, of course, uncultivated condition, was found in America shortly after the first immigrants reached our shores. It was in use among the wild Indians, and was manufactured into clothing in a very simple manner. The Mexican In dians at that time were the most civil ized in America, and it was here that the plant grew to its greatest perfec tion, and was manufactured with the best results. Clavigero, in his history of that country, states that Cortes, the Spanish-American explorer, sent back to Spain as presents to Charles V., "cot ton mantles, some all white, others mixed with white and black or red, green, 5rellow and blue; waistcoats, handkerchiefs, counterpanes, tapestries and carpetsjof cotton." Columbus also on his second voyage to America found the plant in Central and South Ameri ca, in great abundance, the inhabitants using it for clothing and also for mak ing fishing nets. Its lirst introduction into the United States is credited to Virginia, and it is said to have been imported from the West Indies, proba bly by accident. Carrol records the fact that cotton was grown in South Caroli na as early as 1666, but it was not in troduced into Georgia until some years later. As experiments in its cultivation had been made in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and even in New Jersey, we may be sure that it was cultivated in North Carolina soon after it was intro duced into Virginia, though we have no evidence of that fact. It was cultivated in a small way, however, and few farm ers thought of raising more than could be used up on an old fashioned spinning jenny and the hand loom which were located in an obscure part of the kitchen. It was somewhere about the year 1790, after repeated experiment, and nearly always with success by the Southern farmers, that cotton began to be an article of commerce, for in the year 1791, the crop of South Carolina and Georgia combined was 4,545 bales, over and above domestic consumption. At that date, sixty-eight years ago, the whole crop was less than 10,000 bales, and what may seem singular to us to day, except in a few localities it was cultivated as a garden plant. In Ap pleton's Encyclopaedia, vol. 5, page 759, it is stated that in 174S, among the ex ports from Charleston, South Carolina, were seven bags (bales, we suppose,) of cotton wool valued at 3 lis. 5d. a bag, about $17.25. Another small shipment was made in 1754, and in 1770 three more, amounting to 10 bales, were made to Liverpool, England. In 1784 eight bags shipped to England were seized on the ground that so much cotton could not be produced in the United States. We may safely say that up to 1793 the production of cotton was an experiment. While its cultiyation and growrth was confined to domestic man ufactures, it took an able-bodied man a whole day to separate a single pound of lint from the seed, and many were the happy evenings that our ancestors, in their young days, had at their evening "cotton pickings," when the boys and girls played blind man's buff after the task of the evening had been completed. In that year Eli Whitney, at the time a citizen of Georgia, set to work to invent the cotton gin, which, while being a very great improvement on the old method for separating the lint from the seed, was yet a very crude affair com pared with the revolving cotton gin saw of to-day. His historian relates that "he had taken up his abode with the widow of Gen. Nathaniel. Greene, and his handiwork had given that lady a very high opinion of his inventive ge nius, and w h en s o m e : of her f rien ds, who were visiting her, lamented that there could be no profit in the cultiva tion of the green seed cotton (the best variety), owing to the great difficulty of separating it from the seed, she ad vised them to apply to Mr. Whitney, "who," she said, "could make anything." Mr. Whitney at this time had never seen either the raw cotton or the cotton seed. With some difficulty he procured gome cotton from which the seed had not been taken, and immediately com menced working out his idea of the cot ton gin.which; was destined to revolution ize the trade and commerce as wpII as the induatry of the world. He prosecut ed his work forsome months with great difficulty, as he wa3 compelled to man ufacture his own tools. Mrs. Greene and a Mr. Miller, who afterwards be came his partner, were only permitted to see his machine, but rumors of it had gone through the State, and before it was quite finished, the building in which it was located was broken open and the machine carried off. After many trials, Mr. Whitney perfected his invention, and among, the first to recog nize the merits of his genius, was the Legislature of South Carolina, which granted him $50,000 for his invention. North Carolina also allowed him a per centage for the use of each saw, for five years, which was collected and paid over in good faith. There were many infringements on Mr. Whitney's patent, and be was forced to maintain many vexatious lawsuits in defence of his title to the invention. The importance of the invention is well described in; the charge 6f 'Judge Johnson, in a suit brought by Whitney, in Savannah, Ga., in 18070 sustain the validity Of his patent. He states : "Bv reason' of the strong adherence of the fibre to J the seed,, without the aid of some more powerful machine for separating it than any formerly known among us, the cultivation of cottorr could never have been made an object. The ma chine of which Mr. Whitney claims the invention, so facilitates the preparation of this commodity for use that the Cul- 'i ; i 1 n 1 1 tivation of it has sudd enly become of in fi nitely greater national importance th n any other growth of our farm0. The whole interior of .the Southern States was languishing, and its inhabi tants emigrating for want of some ob ject to engage their attention, and em ploy their industry, when the invention of this machine at once opened views to them and set the whole country in active motion. From childhodd to old age it presented us a lucrative employ ment. Individuals who were depressed with poverty, and sunk in idleness, have suddenly risen to wealth and re spectability. Our debts have been paid off, our capitals have increased, and our lands have trebled themselves in value. We cannot express the weight of obli gation which the country owes to this invention." Such was an enlightened view of the value of Whitney's rude and imperfect cotton gin. It gave an impetus to the production of "king cotton" which nothing else could have done. . It quickened the pulsations of commerce, and built up a carrying trade on the ocean, which soon made the merchant marine of the United States, second to no other nation on the globe. Its reac tion stimulated tlje Southern planter, urftil hi a few years he almost outdid himself. As if so intended by Divine Providence about this time Ark wright invented the power-loom. It was at once a powerful auxiliary in fording th". business of producing, the sale and the manufactures of cotton. The Southern planter could not be remunerated unless there was a market for his production, and there was no market until Whit ney and Arkwiight startled the world, and revolutionized commerce by the power of their genius. Hitherto no larger apartments than a cottage Were required for the hand or stock cards, the spinning wheel and the loom, but after these inventions became public property, more strength than an ordi narily built house, and more power than the human arm were required, and out of these necessities extensive manufac turing establishments grew up, which; further assisted in the development of this industry. Little or no record was kept of the grwoth of cotton in Amerca prior to 1791, but un der the impetus given to cotton culture by these agencies our exports increased from 189,316 pounds in that year to 204,535,415 pounds in 1826. The growth of cotton has been developed from year to year until for the year end ing on the 1st day of September, L879,the total crop amounted to 5,074,155 bales, or 2,283,309,750 pounds, which at 12 cents per pound represents a commercial value of ($284,421,218.75) two hundred and eighty-four million, four hundred and twenty-one thousand, two hundred and eighteen dollars and seventy-five cents. This vast sum represents only the amount paid to the Southern plant ers for the staple, and which might be augmented from 33 to 100 per cent Dy its manufacture. The ancients represented the goddess Fortune, blind-folded, turning her wheel, now up, now down, and fixing the deepest events of life with fickle impulse and random hand, and with al most the same uncertainty did the pio neers of cotton culture regard their ef forts at remuneration from our now commanding staple, but in our day cot ton crop estimates, together with accu rate and reliable statistics, in regard to supply and demand, often fix the price of cotton before the seed is placed in the ground. Up to the beginning of our late civil war between the States, nearly nine tenths of all the cotton consumed in the United States, and in Europe, was raised in the Southern cotton belt. The blockading of Southern ports at once cut short the world's supply, and sent prices up to fabulous proportions. We had claimed that "cotton was king." and all the world at once began to real ize that there wras more truth than po etry in our assertion. England speedily took the initiativCin urging the produc tion of cotton in her East India posses sions. Egypt and other countries that had not hitherto attempted to cultivate it, at once planted a large acre age. The fertile valley of the Nile, under the energetic man agement of the Khedive, soon be came busy with toiling laborers in their efforts to produce the fleecy staple. As long as prices ruled high all went on swimmingly, but when prices began to decline, out of proportion to the cost of labor; and when by experiment it was found that the climate of those countries would not produce as fine a grade of lint as was possible in the Southern States, the illusion was dis pelled. But four years had elapsed, and the South lost 'her "grip" on the cotton supply. Having previously pro duced ninetenths, she was able to sup ply less than one-half after the war. Under our well regulated system of labor in existence anterior to tlie war, we were able to produce the best grades of cotton, at a fair per centage of profit, at seven and eight cents. With free labor, and our corn cribs and smoke houses in Cincinnati and St. Louis, this was no longer possible, and although the price ruled high, for several years, we were forced to compete with the markets of the world, as has been explained, and the result was thousands of financially ruin ed planters. But we learned some very valuable lessons of experience. Among them was the fact that In dia and Egypt could - not ' supply the demand in the markets of the world. Formerly it' was supposed that production might be indefinitely ex tended there; but our war dissipated the illusion. Under the influence of very high values, and special encour agements from Manchester,. Liverpool, and other manufacturing centres, the ci'ops were very much increased, but the fibre was of such a coarse texture that it was found impossible to work it into goods of even ordinary grades, without mixing it with American Cot tons. In a word, every conceivable force was applied to push India, Egypt, &c, into a position for furnishing a large cotton supply for the world ; but all efforts, thus far, have failed, and the Southern planter still has the satisfac tion of hearing the production of his fields pronounced "King" on the Liver pool market. Anothervery valuableles son learned by the Southern planter, was that either his' eye-r-this hand, (and both are better) was absolutely necessary to financial success in the production of cotton with free labor. The former slave, demoralized with freedom, which he vainly imagined to be ease and luxury, without work, did not at once enter heartily into the labor necessary to produce the. best crops. In many instances he was dissat isfied, and, without any regard to the. difference between brain work and muscle labor, took up the idea that the property of the master had been pro duced by his labor alone, and ought ty right belong to him, at least in partr It was partly on account of this idea that the recently emancipated- freed man -in 1865 so clamorously5 demanded his "for ty acres and a mule."- But this feeling is crraduallv dy ins away and as.the. freedman becomes educated by his ex-- perience, and especially if he has ac CONCLUDED ON FOURTFI PAGE.
