C: Wednesday Morning, Nov. 5,1879. facts and figures concern ing cotton manufacturing. We take pleasure in publishing an other communication from "Manu- facturer." His productions show be is decidedly intelligent and well in formed as to the subject he treats. He has much the advantage of us, or i n deed of any mere theorist, inasmuch as he has a practical understanding of cotton spinning. But we do not objeot in the least to his criticism. He knows whereof he affirms, whilst we base our own speculations upon data supplied by others. Besides, we are not writing to sustain a theory. We have none. We found a new ex periment in cotton manufacturing re ported, with certain claimed results. From these results we drew certain conclusions. If the results are not true, then of course all we have said goes for nothing. If the investment at Westminster turned out nearly $1,900 in one year upon an invest ment of $2,000, as reported in the papers, we were f ally warranted in saying the resnlt was most astonish ing, and, of course, most satisfactory. But "Manufacturer" exposes the absurdity of thinking that 2,000 small factories might be bailt and profitably worked in the South. We accept his conclusions as probably sound and for the reasons he gives. What then ? Will it be unprofitable or foolish for some of these "small factories" to be erected and run ? If Westminster is profitable, why may not others be profitable too? We confess we cannot see. "Manufac turer" seems to think it absurd to make yarns just to ship North. It may be so, but suppose manufacturers should find it profitable ? The truth is we cannot very well understand the force of "Manufacturer's" argu ment at this point. He seems to think that because the yarns must be shipped North to find a market that there is no profit in them. Bnt sup pose Westminster finds there is a re munerative profit in them, is not one such faet worth something? We suppose at first possibly for many years it may be necessary for the' small mills making yarns to ship them North, but if the South becomes a great manufacturing centre, as we must hope and believe will be the case sooner or later, then the yarns can find a market at home. If thou sands of people can find profitable employment in this new industry, and it small investments shall be found to pay, then we can see no good reason why this diversity of labor and of in vestment may not be resorted to. As we said before, subsequent expe- periments will probably throw more light on the matter, and we shall find at last whether the "Clement Attach ment" is a humbug or an invention of real merit which shall eventually prove highly benefioial to the South.

We will rejoiee in such a oonsainmau Bat why limit the & ruber to hundred if thev be found the rjkht things iu the rigbt places? There mast be room enough for many hun dreds, provided the capital is forth coming. The demand of the world is constantly increasing, and k it be a fact, as we believe, thattheSoutb, which raises the cotton, has the ad vantage over New England or Great Britain in the natural facilities, &o., of manufacturing, then let us have all the large factories possible, and as fast as the means can be procured. "Manufacturer, we are glad to note, does not -depreciate, the value of the "Clement Attaohmeut,"bat thinks it "admirably adapted to certain ocalities, but not destined to revolu tionize the trade." The testimony of saoh an intelligent, practical man of business is worth a great deal. We shall watch with unfeigned interest any developments in regard to cotton spinning and the manufacturing of fabrics. The South needs diversity of labor, and we have been encour aged to think' that it would find a favorable opportunity in the new in vention. Now for a few additional facts. First, as to the "Clement Attach ment." We find an editorial in the Raleigh Observer of October 31, that discredits no little the value of this invention. It rives some extracts from a letter of Mr. C. F. Harden, written from Windsor, N. C, where there is a factory at work with the "Attachments." The Observer makes some calculations based upon Mr. Harden'a figures that are very die-1 couraging. If the Observer is cor rect in its figures then the profits art small too small probabjff for such investments. We have not space now to give the figures. We hope the experiment at Windsor is not a fair one. We may recur to this here after. We find in the Scientific American some facts tthat are eoarsging in another direction. We copy the para graphs, as they are interesting: "The manager of the Mississippi Mills, which naes 4,000 bales cotton, 850,000 pounds wool, and $800,000 capital, writes us that there is a difference of 15 or 20 per cent, id favor of manufacturing cotton here over New England, aod I judge there would be double ibis difference over Old England ; and further, that while strikes and reduc tions of wages have occurred frequently of I late years in New England, fOO operatives! of the Mississippi Mills, all of whom, with the exception of three, are MississippiaDS, are contented, and no reduction. Mill pro perty is free from taxes tee years. "Mr. Kicbardson says it is the best pay ing property he has. Of course it can only be a question of time when the South will manufacture nearly, if not all, the cotton it raises. Circumstances may delay it. and we may not live to see it, but it will come." This leading journal takes the view we do, and it has the same faith. The time will come, sooner or later and inevitably, when most of the cotton will be manufactured where it is grown, lbe mills will be taken to the cotton. We copy another North - em view ot the matter, lne ew York Times has been impressed with ! the superior advantages of the South for cotton manufacturing, and says: The natural economical advantages in favor of the Bomb's manufacturing the cotton which it raises are so conclusive that it would be a dangerous competitor of the North were it not for the difficulty of securing suitable labor. That difficulty has hitherto seemed insuperable, since the handy operatives of our New England vil lages will not go South, and the slow and clumsy negroes, even with the best will in the world, cannot take their places among the swift and intricate machinery." The Times overstates the difficulty of labor. The operatives can easily be procured whenever the induce ments are offered. A great deal of the labor necessary can be procured at home, and we have no doubt that even New England, besides Europe, would swell the number of workers whenever the demand is made. There are fifty-five factories in North Caro lina, and we suppose they are all supplied with requisite labor. ADVANCE IN PRICES The advance in prices throughout the North has caused a general move ment among the working classes to demand higher wages. They say they have to pay more for all articles of the household consumed, and it is but fair and right that their pay should be increased proportionately. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, referring to the movement in tnat city, saws: "This demand has been made auietlv and outside of the trades unions, and in many cases employers Inform me it has been cheerfully complied with. In some instances the advance has been made with out waiting a request for it. While all this is creditable to both parties the employed for steering clear of trades union dictation. and tbe employers for recognizing the rea sonableness of the request yet it is question whether it is altogether a health sigh of the times. It reminds one of th 'flush' period of tbe war, when evervthim went up so rapidly, and starts the question whether we are not again travelling too fast. Increased wages means, of course, increased cost of production, and that, in turn, implies fewer advantages in markets "Where we have to compete with cheaper jaoor. t People are slow to learn.

During six long years trade has been prostrate. An many se itions it is prostrate still, and the signs of recuperation are "few and fa I between." . There is unquestion ably returning prosperity, but as yet ft j is mainly confined to tbe great manufacturing and grain growing sections. . IThe New York Commercial BxtUe tip recently had an instructive edito rial on the subject of the trade prospects and warned its readers against the folly- of repeating the sips of tbe past, jfeejfTie danger aid sounds the alarm. We copy an important paragraph relative to the advance in prices. It says: !'We would not tone down the brightness o the picture, and yet tbe tendency to 0' erdo is so rife in this country that the c( lors may be too thickly laid on . It is im p Able not to admit, when this advance o: prices is carefully considered, that it is li part merely speculative. In good part, a lo, it arises from discounting future de n snd. This is seen very notably in it on products, bnt the same explanation applies more or less to other merchandise. After a long term of dolleasjs.asssjsrn are caught With short stocks and rush to supply them Ives before prices rise; similarly, man n acturers are found with short slocks a id comparatively small productive fa c lities. Under such circumstances, ex c usive of any other considerations, & present rise in prices follows inevitably, be cause this process of stocking up in advance of demand from consumers and in antici pation of a rise produces an immediate de ficiency of supply. The increase in con sumption is in great part yet to be realized, apd how large or how Proanent it will be cannot be foretold. We do net discourage belief in it, but merely wish to emphasize this cautionary observation: that produc tive capacity, aodslso the ability to swiftly sjngment that capacity itself, have increased since 1860 in a degree that few persons ap preciate. " We find the following specimen of rowdyism in the Philadelphia Times. If it bad occurred in the South the Northern press would have filled countless columns with insane plati tudes upon the barbarism of our sec tion. Bnt read: ; "One thousand svadajysjajlied from the aunds of the University at Ann Arbor. ichigan, on Wednesday night, and at- empted to overawe the citizens. Fire bells fere rung, the militia companies turned it and a riot ensued. A number of tbe indents were battered severely, and ten of lem were lodged in jail." . It is reported that the Governor of South Carolina said to the Governor of North Carolina when they met in Philadelphia that he would "take sugar in his'n." The great question now agitating tbe Tar Heel mind is, what did the Governor of North Carolina say in response. The New York election is not half as impor tant as the proper answer to this in- Gen. Clingman very emphatically contradicts, through the Asheville Citizen, the declaration in the Jour nal of tbe 25th nit., "that General Clingman has received over $25,000 of the money that belonged to this road," meaning the Western North Carolina road. Tbe distinguished gentleman says it is au unqualified falsehood. The New York dry goods market was thus reported on October 31 : "Tbe dry foods dealers continue busy. .Cotton goods continue inactive request, -and prices are strong. .Prints, also, are In good request and firm. Richmond and Allen's pink and purple prints have ad vanced. Dress goods are in steady demand. Woollens are doing well, and prices are very firm. Flannels, also, are brisk. Ken tucky jeans and foreign goods in light re quest." g-jjfr-j - It is getting about time that the old fashioned schoolmaster was heard from. Is he dead?

Editor of the Stab: Your edi torial of Tuesday fairly takes one's breath away! "Two thousand small factories scattered from the Potomac to the Rio Grande would produce a revenue for the South of not less than three hundred millions, probably of four hundred million dollars; not this something?" It is indeed! Rather hard, though, upon the in credulous proprietors of the 55 cot ton factories in this State, who, ac cording to Col Polk, represent a capital of $13800, and who have been quite satisfied wlieb they have received ten per cent on their in vestment, whilst many have had to be content with nothing at H. at how simple the process!

Multi plying this by 2M0 wiiL give us $7,000,000 as outlay lor 000,000 spin dles, consuming annually the equiva lent of 200,000 bales of cotton, and turning out 2,000,000 pounds of yarn. Now,without stopping to crtti cise the figures and calculations so fur nished to us, easy todo,but not very intelligible to general readerg,who de sire rather to get at the main bearings of the question take a few points arid draw your own conclusions. Out of the five million bales of cotton con stituting our crop,, something aver one million are consumed m the Northern and Eastern States. Iu the mountainous parts of the Carolinas, Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia, there is a demand for what is oalled "bunch yarn," used in the manufac ture of home spun oloth: this trade is limited in extent, and we are told, by ? those engaged in it, is diminishing yearly, owing to tne lower prices oi Otlier fabrics. Now, however profit able a few of these small isolated mills in the Piedmont section may find this yarn to be, it is clear that thje great bulk of their products must find their way to Pennsylvania or New England. It would astonish many people to know how large a proportion of Southern mills are run to-day practically in the interest of Northernjhouses". The value of the labor, it is true, remains in this conn try, but tbe balance of profit is so reduced by oppressive freights, commission charges, fcc, that a very small return ultimately accrues to tbe stockholders. It is clear to those who have closely watched the course of the trade for some late years, that the production of cotton goods in the United States has some what overstepped the regular de mand for them, whilst, with our pro hibitive tariff, no large increase of foreign trade can be expected. Eng land and the continent of Europe, with sixty millions of spindles, will run us a hard race in that direction. Under these conditions, the 200,000 bales, equal to nearly one-fifth the entire consumption of the North, be ing withheld from tbe market as cot ton, but placed upon it in the form oi yarn, must compete with, and dis place, or separate, a like quantity produced by Northern spinners, with their undoubted advantages of skilled labor, matured organization, and cheaper capital of that section. Now I confess I can see little difference between the an wisdom of shipping bales of cotton, or bales of yarn and cloth, to Philadelphia, New York and Boston, to be heavily taxed by railway companies, commis sion agents, calico printers, dec., then resold to the North Carolina mer chant, who has to lepeat the process of paying heavy freightage, and at last gets the material back, possibly to tbe identical shot where it origi nally grew. The ground stake is this: that the South ought to aim at keep ing her cotton within her own bor ders, converting it into fabrics suited for home use, but hitherto purchased chiefly iu Northern markets, and thus derive all possible benefit from her crop. What the Southern consumer wants, as a rule, is cloth, not yarn, whereas over two thousand little mills, being entirely useless for weav ing purposes, would have only yarn to sell. But it may be said, "why not build weaving mills also in tbe South, and ret these gather ap the produc tion of the spindles?" True, this may be done, bnt it is a clumsy alternative, involving a large amount of leakage in packing, hauling, local freights, establishment and inciden tal charges of all descriptions, di minishing the gross receipts consid erably. The conclusion I arrive at is that, instead of scattering these two thousand little spinning mills broadcast throughout the South, you should build say one hundred mills in the best localities for health, water power and other facilities, containing four to five thousand spindles each, with their equivalent in looms, adapt them for ginning all the seed cotton that can conveniently be secured but without depending upon this supply equip them with tbe best and newest machinery, arranging it - ar w for such classes of .fabrics as oan be j sold at home, and then the Southern I . . i ij i - manuiaotuiei may iiuiu uio uwu against the world. In this way the successful men-of fiaeargia and North Carolina have made their money, and it is, I believe, the true "Southern policy," securing, as it does, all the profit there is in tbe article, from the field to the yard stick, affording plea sant mid remunerative employment to a large portion of the population, chiefly females, increasing the value of property, and lessening taxation wherever a mill is located, and in time building up a substantial and es tablished manufacturing interest. The writer has not the slightest wish to depreciate the "seed cotton system," esteeming jdjjo be an excel lent invention, admirably adapted to certain localities bus not destined to revolutionize the trade, as its more ardent advocates would have us be lieve. Not wedded to any "style," old or new, bat open to conviction, if what he has written has the effect of arousing more attention to a subject so vitally affecting the interests of the Southern States, his objeot will be sained.
