' RICH SQUARE, NORTHAMPTON COUNijY. -3$ 0,'' THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18. 1900.' Cotton Spluning lo the South. Atlanta'Constitution. v . - , We print elsewbnre an article from The New York Commercial Bulletin dealing with the relative advantages held by (he north and the sooth for cotton spinning. When the ArkwrightClub took its action of 1807, Tbe Constltu tion characterised its findings as being foreign to the real ad van tagesvheld by" the ' south. ' The first and controlling advantage is that of nature, which no law and no enterprise can overcome. In the.Absence of cotton spinning in America, - the monopoly made Lancaster rich', and later, in the absence of spinning in the south. its presence' in New. England made that section rich. If Jt will pay a cotton spinner to set up in Full River, and import his cotton 1,200 miles, it will pay him equal ly well in Columbus, and import bis material 290 miles. This is so plain a proposition, that its discus sion -! would : be but a waste of words. " This statement is made on a basis . of equal charees in both places, whan the foot is that under all conditions possible the southern spinner will bold an ad vantage of which he cannot be deprived, The change inciient to reach ing- the market; looked upon as an offset to lower freight rates upon cotton to the southern mill. have." been -much magnified, in view of the fact that tne seat of the market ..will .change to suit the trade. The custom which has made New; York the market for our fabrics- ia not permanent, and will'entirely disappear the moment that it is used to cripple sou thern enterprise. Only In one way can New York mercban ts bold on r trade, and (that Is, by building it up. If the New York commission men constitute -themselves tbu attoroeys-ln-fact or1 the Fall River spinners,' then will come another revolutoin ..whioh will be evt n more -astonishing tbUn the change 4n spinning. The south fs"hOvT weTt-gBBDlled with tarTnnirsBdwfflWtariTOfe roads, whose interests are local; and which are strong enough to wrest terms from. trans-con tinen t&i lines, i, ; If 1 these ; railroads evince a disposition -to be nnjus. our state railroad commissions, backed up by . the interstate com mission, wiltt soon bring them to tima The merchant has already appeared in the" south, as well as the Spinner, and the railroad manager, will be vigilant enough to place himself In harmonious relation with them. Aa to the labor question, that is one wbtcn will, settle ltseii in time, to the satisfaction of all con cerned, Ip the establishment of business to a new country there are always crudities whioh will adjust ' themselves : With Un successful - establishment ; of a mill interest, there will grow ap a competent ilabor force. , One of the disabilities noted as possible for the future Is really one of the advautages which - the ' south ho kS to gain .by.-, W hen louni labur grows scarce, we expect au increase of population from . those even in Massacousetu wno sees to -better -. their condition. - The defeat of the child labor bill in the legislature the other day, was not owing to the want of a pro gressive spirit, but to the intima tion which gained ground, some- bow or oiher, that it was inspired from .abroad, Georgia, can . be relied upon in due. time to take hold of all such questions, and give them proper direction, but the-movement will be internal.; ; As long as it pays to spin cot ton abroad, il will pay t0 8piu. it a home hence ail talk . 01 over buildlngisillfounded. There is the cotton to spin,., and if any one wants to quit spinning It, be will not be a southern man. - He is in tbe field to stay.
