A Century-Old Effort to Free
Europe of Dependence Upon
the South for Cotton"
More than seventy years ago Char
les Dickens, atter enumerating many
striking facts in regard to England's
cotton trade, said:
"Let any groat social- or physical
convulsion visit the United States and
England would feel the shock from
Land's End to John O'Groats's. The
lives of nearly two millions of our
countrymen are dependent upon the
cotton crops of America. Their des
tiny may be said, without any kind of
hyperbole, to hang upon a thread."
Dickens was arguing at that time,
as were many other EngUsh writers,
statesmen and manufacturers, about
the supreme importance to England
of its cotton industry.
In 1858 Lord Palmerston, in an ad
dress ift Parliament, said:
"I venture to say that you will find
on the West coast of Africa a most
valuable supply of cotton, so essential
to the manufacturers of this country."
At other times hi Parliament, in the
reports of the British Board of Trade,
and in the discussions of cotton man
ufacturers in 'Lancanshire, emphasis
was constantly laid upon the need of
growing cotton in other parts of the
world to lessen the dependence of
great Britain upon Southern raised
cotton. In those early days, even a
century ago, much stress was placed
upon the importance to England of
low prices tor cotton. A report to the
British Board of Trade urged that En
glish manufacturers should do all in
their power to hold down the price of
cotton, and that report claimed that
this -would be the way in which to
force the South to raise a larger crop,
since the planters would seek by a
larger yield to secure more money
than they could get from a smalt "yield
a' high prices.
These old discussions of 75 to 100
years ago, which have continued down
to the present hour, are of much sig
nificance to the South, and, indeed, to
the whole cotton world. Without,
knowledge of them no one can prop
erly understand the present agitation
In Europe for cotton production In oth |
r r countries and the continued me
thods adopted to break down the price
of Amorlcan cotton.
On August 16, 1921, Mr. Arno S.
Pearce, General Secretary of the In- |
ternational Federation of Master Cot
ton Spinners and Manufacturers Asso
ciations of Europe, in an address In
Rio de Janeiro, made arter the visit of
the International Cotton Mission to
that country, referred to cotton grow
ing in the United States and said:
"The high wages ruling there make
the growing of motion unremunerative,
and we were told on the authority of
the president of the Cotton Farmers
Union that the AMERICAN COTTON
farmer would no more con
tinue TO ALLOW HIS WIFE AND
CHILDREN TO WORK IN THE
FIELDS. With such fantastic ideas It
cannot be expected that there will be
an Increase In the cotton acreage of
the United States of America."
This official representative of Euro
pean cotton manufacturers regarded
the desire of American cotton grow
ers to keep their wives and children
out of the cotton fields as "fantastic
ideas."
* In the Blue Book of Southern Pro
gress, which will be Issued within a
few weeks by the Manufacturers Re
cord. the story of these efforts to break
down the price of cotton and to In
crease cotton production In other partB
of the world will be told briefly, but
with sufficient comprehensiveness to
make It Invaluable to every man and
woman In America seeking to know
the facts. This history, bearing on
the cotton trade, is however only one
of the hundreds of equally interesting
things relating to the welfare.of the
South and of the country at large to be
found In the Blue Book of Southern
Progress. ? Manufacturers Record.

Stability of This Nation
Rests With Rural Press
The power and Importance of the
rural press, the average country
weekly, is emphasized by the manu
facturer and Industrial News, one of
the country's greatest publications,
in the following estimate given by
that publication, which says:
"We believe the stability of this
nation rests in the hands of the rural
editors. Radical elements congre
gate in the cities. The destructive
and yellow prejs Is located in the
metropolitan centerj. The home own
er and the farmer who are the back
bone of the uation read the rural pa
pers and it Is these same every day
Americans who must keep this coun
try on an even keel. Destroy the pow
er and Influence of the rural news
paper in its great work of develop
ment of rural communities and you
have destroyed the greatest advocate
cf hlshcat ideals and purest American
ism. No-lnstitutlon can or does wield
a more powerful Influence for good,
yet how often Buch a potent factor in
a community's progress and general
uplift is not fully appreciated by those
whoso every destiny lests in the hands
of the rural press.
