A URAHERCY SOCIABLE.
A New York letter writer states
that Hon. Samuel J. Tilden is to have
a grand housewarming after the elec
tion at his Gramercy Park residence,
the avowed object of the warming
being to bring Mr. Tilden's friends
together and show off the cosy nest
that Mr. T. has fixed up for his old
age,upon which he has just expended
about a quarter of a million dollars.
It is hinted, however, that the real
object of this sociable is to bring to
gether prominent Democratic poli
ticians, friends of Mr. Tilden as well
those who have been estranged
from him, with a view to consulting
over the old ticket and giving it a
joint boom for the next race. The
programme in view is said to be to
make the frauds of '76 the issue for
the next campaign, thus , elimina
ting the tariff ' question, which the
New York Democracy, especially,
with the present uncertainties, do not
eare to make a prominent feature in
the coming campaign. The writer
states that this scheme has the hearty
concurrence of Governor Cleveland,
August Belmont, John Kelly, and
the entire city delegation in congress.
Like the numerous other rumors
about Mr. Tilden, there may be foun
dation for this last one or there may
not, but we have never been able to
settle down to the conviction that
Mr. Tilden has entirely abandoned
all dreams of the Presidency, not
withstanding the oft repeated asser
tions to the contrary. His election
to the Presidency under the circum
stances would be one of the grandest
vindications and one of the grandest
tributes ever paid to any man by the
American people. Mr. Tilden knows
this, and there is enough of human
nature and ambition in him not to
be indifferent to it. But he does not
wish to figure in the role of one seek
ing the nomination, which his friends
tefl him will come without seeking if
he but say the word. In addition to
this it is unquestionably true that
Mr. Tilden has a strong following,
and that he is regarded by many
Democrats in and outside of-$iew
York as the most available candi
date While we believe that there are
strong points in Tilden, we also be
lieve that the. Democratic party has
within its lines men who are as
strong, if not stronger, before the
people, and we believe, moreover,
that any of these men can be elected
if the tariff question be so judiciously
managed as not to become a distract
,ing.. element in the party. It is the
one thing we have to dread, and it
must be handled with care and skflUU

Mr, Edward Atkinson, in response to
an invitation, .made a speech, in
which he expressed his surprise at
the great resources of this State, and
predicted a splendid future for her.
He was followed by ex-United States
Senator Poole,' who gave an interest

State, agricultural, mineral and
others,and pointed out the advantages
it presented to labor and capital, after
which Col. Pardee, of Connecticut,
who has spent considerable time in
this State and travelled over much of
it. eave a glowing account of his ob
servations, and 'advised farmers and
capitalists to turn their steps towards
North Carolina, where all the con
ditions were favorable, where all could
find fertile lands for the plow, and
openings for profitable investment.
Hon. CassiusM.Clay,of Kentucky,
in a letter says that Mr. Tilde hav
ing declined to permit the use of bis

dency, Governor elect Hoadly, of
Ohio, is the man for the Democrats to

Over him thus: ''With genius, com

Great Britain's Part in the World's
Cotton Trade.
BradstreeVs Journal.
At the recent meeting of the British
Association Mr. Edwin Guthrie read
a paper on the position and prospects
of the cotton trade, of which the
London Economist prints a synopsis
with remarks. In the course of his
paper Mr. Guthrie dwelt upon the
increase in the production and con
sumption of this important staple
during recent years, and indicated
the chief factors which have influen
ced international competition in the
trade in the past, and which are
likelv to influence it in the future.
He also presented some interesting
comparative tables, the meaning of
which we give below. Dealing first
with the growth of the industry, Mr.
Guthrie shows that diiring the last
forty years or so it has undergone an
enormous development. In the five
years ended 1840 the average annual
consumption of cotton was 1,014,000!
bales of 400 pounds each, while for a
like period ending in 1880 the average
consumption was 3,137,000 bales, and
in the two years 1881-2 it reached an
average of 3,626,000 bales. The in
crease in production has also been
very rapid in other countries. Thus
the continent of Europe in 1836-40
took an average of 521,000 bales, and
during the last two years an average
of 3,139,000 bales, and the consump
tion of the United States during the
same period increased from an aver
age or 242,000 bales to- an average of
2,137,000 bales. It will be seen that
the proportional increase has been
much greater on the continent and in
the United States than in Great Brit
ain, which has increased its consump-'
tion some 250 per cent, against an;
increase of 500 per cent, on the con-5
tinent and 700 per cent, in the United!
States. Mr. Guthrie, however, shows'
that in such a case as this a compari
son of percentages of growth is ne
cessarily fallacious, the greater ratios
shown by the continent and the Uni
ted States being mainly due to the
tact that they started from a lower
basis. Calculating by number of
bales, the United Kingdom shows an
increase of 2,600,000, against about
the same amount in continental
countries and 1,900,000 bales in the
United States.
The above figures, it is admitted,
show that the former enormous su
premacy in this branch of industry is
not being maintained by Great Brit
ain. It was inevitable that the in
fant industries of the continent and
America would grow and develop,
and that their growth would be
greatly enhanced by the continued
improvement and increased means of
communication between cotton-growing
countries and the rest of the
world. The Economist says that, in
spite of all the advantages which, in
consequence of this improvement,
have inured to the competitors of
Great Britain, that country, with a
comparatively small population, has
increased its consumption taking
the increase in the number of bales as
the measure to about the same ex
tent as the whole continent of Europe,
and to a considerable larger extent
than the United States, notwithstand
ing all our facilities for production,
our nearness to the raw material and
our rapidly-increasing population.
Moreover, it is said in comparing the
respective amounts of cotton con
sumed weight of bales is not the only
criterion of trade progress and pros
perity ; the quantity and value of the
product must be taken into considera
tion. Mr. Guthrie shows that the
average weight spun per spindle in
Great Britain last year was 35 3 4
pounds, while on the continent it was
57 pounds, and in. the United States
it reached 74 pounds per spindle, in
dicating that while other countries
are doing more of the course trade,
requiring a greater supply of raw
material, Great Britain is doing a
finer tradej requiring less weight of
raw material. He also shows that
reducing these respective weights per
spindle to an even number of hours
worked, say 56 hours per week, and
taking the average weekly running
time on the continent and in the
United States, the weight per spindle
would be 35 3-4, 45 1-2 and 59 3-4 re
spectively. Speaking of the question
of foreign competition, the Econo
mist says that, all things considered,
the United Kingdom has little reason
to be dissatisfied with the way in
which it has thus far held its own
against foreign competition. When,
however, the further questions as to
the nrobabilitv of contmuine to keep
pace with foreign competitors, and
the measures which should be taken
to enlarge Great Britain's trade and
make it more profitable, come to be
considered verv divergent views are
found to be entertained. ' The Econo
mist savs that doubtless the main
factor which will determine the fu
ture course of trade will be the cost
of production. Mr. Guthrie thinks
that in respect to hours of labor rival
British producers have an an advan
tage, and he is evidently of the opin
ion that the factory acts have been a
mistake. He admits that fo, - every - 7 a pas7n
farthing a pound we are handicapped Into a station wnile another
?ed pefhaps from 5 to 10 farthings
v foreign tariffs;" "but," he very
plausibly argues, that "the latter are
not m .British control, wniie tne
former is. and to a large extent the
difference or & tart rung a pound on
yarn, maKes an tne amerence ue
tween free sales and no trade at all."
i 1 1 1 1 v rr- i
The Economist maintains at some
length that shorter hours of labor in
the Uritish cotton lactones nave not
afforded foreign competitors any ad
vantage in neutral waters, and does
not agree with Mr. Guthrie that the
present depressed state of the cotton
trade is attributable to the tactory
acts. It, nevertheless, coincides with
hiSjView that the policy of restricting
the output would be suicidal to the
interests of the trade. Mr. Guthrie's
argument on this point is an elabora
production increases cost, and that

such an act would hand over to com
petitors a portion of Great Britain's
business, while the relief afforded
would be only momentary.

TELEGRAMS.
THE GOVERNORSHIP.
Another North Carolina Democrat Pats
in a Strong Claim for Gen. Hoke.
To the Editor of l?ie Observer.
I noticed some days since in your,
the best newspaper in the State, the
name of Gen. R. F. Hoke mentioned
as a candidate for Governor. While
I think it is too early to agitate the
question, yet as the name of so pure,
high-toned a gentleman has been
mentioned, one that is strictly thor
oughbred, and can make such strides
in the race as no other man in our
StHe can, he will not have any dead
weights to carry, never having been
in politics, and never having any de
sire in that line. He was born a Dem
crat, with high-toned principles.
Went into the war and did telling
work for our cause. The war closed,
he rode his own purchased horse
home, hitched him to a plow, took
hold of the handles and made a crop.?
The next jou see of him he is using,
his energies in developing the iron
resources of the State.
sl have been greatly surprised that
some of the railroad syndicates have
not taken him as their president, for
there is not a better man anywhere
for the business, full of energy,
thoroughly posted, and one of the best
regulation men that was in the army.
If those Shelby and Rutherfordton
people could succeed in getting his
services, their road would certainly
be built, and that speedily and at
small cost. The State.
