Tho South Iieadu in Making Cotton
Good.
An IntfnMtrlal Jtevolntfon --- The
Hoctbern Peoplef Asserting tlie
Haprmacy Which STataral
Advantages OlvelThem.
Frank Wilkinson in N. Y. Sun.
It in not generally known In tbo north thai
the cotton manufacturing industry of th
nouthorn atatea has. tLroirgb skillful mauage-
mout and the improvement of every natural
advantage, reached a joint where it cannot
only dofy the competition of tho producu ol
northern mill in southern markete, but now
enters tho markets of tho west, with everj
prospect of driving the products of the Now
England mills out of -the Mississippi valley.
The economic truSt that the mills should t
surrounded by cottuu fields is, at last, realized
by all intelligent men. Throughout tho cotton
states, at such points wlioro tho water powei
Is unfailing and easily improved, or where
fuel is cheap and abundant, vnills are in th
course of erection, or if not being built, th
question of building is agitated and subscrip
tion papers are circulated. I am pleased to saj
that wherever I have Leon in tho cotton state!
the men were talking of investing aouthorc
capital in the manufacture of cotton. The de
sire is to build up this industry with eouthora
money, but northern capital will bo wolcomed
in all portions of the south if invested in cot
ton mills. Georgia loads the south in this in.
dustry, as she leads in all things political oi
material ; but all the BOHthern states are mak
jng healthy progress.
Tho danger that threatens the New England
manufacturers is imminent The signs sharpl
indicate that they aro to bo forced into a com
petition with an established and active indus
try that will fatally cripple them. The advan
tages tho southern manufacturers hold ovoi
those of New England aro many ; and any one
of them used to the full extent, as all will bo,
will be sufficient to overcome themorthern in
dustry. Out of the system of African slavery arose I
belief in, and a practice of, payikig low wagei
in the south. Freo white men could not suc
cessfully compete in tho labor market with
black slaves. In endeavoring to do so, it wac
necessary for thorn to adopt tho coarse, cheap
food used by tho negroes, and to wear cheap
clothes, and it was imperatively necessary for
them to accept the rates of wages that were
customary in hiring slaves from their owners.
This condition of affairs produced a race of
poor whites iu the southern fetate.-i. Tho old
slaveholders, the aristocratic, thieves who
meanly lived on the unpaid labor of black men,
speak scornfully of this race as "crackers," and
they apparently ignore the fact that on their
industry the future prosperity of the south
dependa In no cotton mill did I see negroes
at work. These poor whites have been
schooled by the degrading competition with
slaves, forced on them by the old slaveowners,
and by being pushed on the poor, lean lands,
to subsist on food that northern mechanics
canuot live on. The close of the war
found these people stripped of all their pos
sessions. Being poor und despised, they
had great trouble in getting a start They
owned poor land. They had no credit They
were discouraged. It was a hard outlook. On
every side they met the recently freed blacks,
who'keenly competed with them in the labor
market. The blacks obtained control of the
market by being better adapted to field work
au6S being able io live cheaper than the poor
whites. This competition, not keen on the
part of the whites, has established a rate of
wages in tho southern states that effectually
bars out foreign laborers and forbids all im
migration of northern laborers into the south
states. These conditions of southern labor
being true, and tbey wero and are true, the
manufacture of cotton was established at an
opportuno time.
lie would have been a lold man who prophe
sied that the overthrow of the slaveholders
would suppress the cotto manufacturing in
dustry of New England. This southern in
dustry thnfcjrT sprung into active competition
here during tho last decade is solidly founded
on low wages to operatives. In 1B8U 15279
operatives were employed in southern cotton
mills. They wore paid $2,517,347, or an aver
age of $169 each. During the samo year the
Massachusetts operatives were paid 926'J, rand
those of Maine $251 each. The northern oper
atives received an average sum of $85 per
year more than those employed in the southern
mills There is doom in these figures.
It must be borne in mind that the old sys
tem of slaveholding has a living effect on all
questions affecting the material prosperity of
the southern states, and through them on us.
We are far from being through with the evil
effects of slavery; indeed, in my opinion we
are just about to realtes- that the abolition of
that system is going t affect us in various
ways that our statesmen did not foresee. We
now see the effect of it in the difference in tho
cost of labor influencing the cotton manufac
turing industry of the north. We will further
see, and sharply feel.it, in the rates of railway
transportation in the near future affecting thu
control of the marketd for manufactured pro
ducts. The southern rs Uways wero built by
cheap labor. Before the war slaves,
who were cheaply hired, wore largely
employed on works of internal improve
ment Since the war poorly paid free men and
convicts, the state slaves, have been largely
employed. The roads were cheaply built and
uheaply equipped, and they can be cheaply op
erated. There is no snow to obstruct them in
ibe winter. All men working on these lines are
poorly paid. When the traffic increases, these
roads can carry freight for less money than
any northern road, where the higher rate of
speed hammers the rails into splinters, and the
comparatively higher rate of wages exhausts
the earnings, and the snows oj, winter eat up
the surplus earned in busy times.
Already the New England manufacturers of
cotton are clamoring for a different classifica
tion of. their products, so as to obtain 1 cheaper
rates of transportation from their mills to Cin
cinnati, Louisville, St Louis. Chicago, and
other distributing points for the western and
southern trade. Without a cheapening of
freight rates on the northern trunk lines they
farxoA tliat the southern manufacturers will
speedily drive them from the western mar-
that they have, on coarser goods, lost control
of the southern market, and that they are
threatened with tho. loss of the western market
There is another point that sharply affects this
threatened less of market that the northern
manufacturers have modestly omitted to state,
and that is that the southern product which is
now being introduced into the west is a better
article than any that comes from New England
looms. In all portions of the agricultural west
where the tillers of the soil have used southern
ginghams, honestly made and unweighted with
the contents of paste pots,- they demand that
tho retail dealers keep the superior southern
goods for salo. These goods are. more durablo
and give far better satisfaction than the pro
ducts of New England mills. It is possible
that the southern manufacturers may in time
lower the standard of their products; but, be
ing men of intelligence, it is not probable that
they will commit that act of folly now, when
they are encroaching on the most desirable of
all markets, and when their mills are earning
from ten to forty per cent per year.
In the South the power used to drive ma
chinery is generally water. It: is a good and
cheap power. There are no long continued
cold spells to thickly coat the Btreams with ice
and clog the runways and pipes and wheels.
The supply of water is comparatively steady.
It is unfailing. The mountains have not been
denuded of trees, nor has all the agricultural
land been stripped of forests. The water is
stored in the sponge-like sod of the forest
lands, and naturally deals it out gradually.
Wherever there is a very valuable water power
in the cotton states it is beingil improved.
Canals to. lead the water to desirable mill sites
are being dug. Notably is this the case at
Columbia, & CL There the state, using convict
labor, is mugmged In constructing a rarge canal
that ia expected to have sufficient capacity to
supply power to several extensive cotton nulla
South Carolina, anxious to attract capital to
bar sofl, passed a law exempting all capital in
vested in manufacturing from taxation for ten
years. The southern manufacturers buy the
cotton they use from the first banda In many
eases they bny from the planters' wagons, thus
saving all transportation charges. They also
save the cost of compressing tho bales. The
two chargos for compressing and transporting
amount, from any southern point to New Eng
land, to over a cout per pound. It is plain that
the transportation charges on the cotton from
the south to the northern mills, and the freight
charges on the manufactured product from the
north to the south, is a protection that gives
the southern market to the southern manu
facturer. There ia much consolatory talk
among northern manufacturers about the
nnthni-ij witm fwtf rnvulnfnir tha flnw nnmlj-
neii or goods. TMTTl' airrjjMMrr tnwj nui
it ia also true that the machines that produces)
fine goods In the north will yrodnoe equally
fine goods in the south, adttMrtaouthrn ope
ratives are fully as intelligent mm tboae of New
England. Wheu the demanp ia made on the
southern mannfaoturers for tine quality of
goods they will surely supply It, and supply it

first term, said :
"Mr. Lincoln would often come down ther
at night and sit in the cftico. Ho would come
in, sit for for an hour nd clat, and very often
go through the stage entrance into his box, sit
there quietly and uuobsei ved, see the perform
ance and then go back bone. He always ex
pressed himself as delighte'l to got away from
business and take an hour dt recreation at the
theater. The characteristics of the man were
so noble, so simple and gran A He soemed t o
enjoy, when he came to tho theater, his free-lorn
from business and csres of Htate. I remember
ono night we were plaving Tccahontaa.' a bur
lesque, with Mrs. John Wood. In thojo days
when they caught a pickpocket in tho streets
here the soldiers would placard him. 'This is a
pickpocket, and send him around the streets to
the tune of the 'Itogue's March,' bo the people
would know him, and we were burlesquing
that on the stage. Little Tad Lincoln, uio sou
of the president, eame down very often
with bis father, and he was there that
night He was hanging around the stage, and
for the fun of the thing I put him in a ragged
dress and set him on tho stage in the mob in
one of the scones. Mr. Lincoln who was in
his box, saw the boy. He laughed heartily
and long, threw his hands up in the air, and
let one or them drop over toe siae oi me dox.
Tim audience saw the hand and recognized it
There was no hand in tho world like Mr. Lin
coln's so long and bony. Thoy shouted for hhn,
He had to come to the front of the box and
haw. When Tad went into the box Mr. Lin-
e 1 threw his arms around him, and the scone
between the father and boy .vas most delight
ful. The pleasure, the affection of the father
was so intense, so spontaneous, and Jit was
glorious to see mm. Why, at that time, if any
body win ted to seize Mr. Lincoln, they could
havo done it readily. Ho most always camo to
the theatre alone. Ho wouVl go to the hox
oflice, and then pass in. 'SQrnetim.os he would
stand on tho stago a few minutes. He soemed
to enjoy every thing he saw, and was a most
hearty laugher."
Of John Wilkes Booth. Mr. Raymond said :
"He was a man of very marked ability. Ho
was always looked upon as the man or "c:iius
in the Booth family. Ho might have boon a
great man. He was a man oY erratic gonins,
and wheu John Wiikes Booth came on the
Stage people looked for something poouliar."

Man is a credulous animal. The ages of faith
embraco long eras. Skoptici.n is couilued to
rare epochs, and iutluonoo-i but a small por
t:ou of thi? human race. Hence it is desirable
that the beliefs of mankii should be bated on
tho facta of nature, and not on fictions. Our
forofathers believed in supernatural phenom
ena, in witches, ghosts, haunted houses, and
tho influence of the Jjad upon the living. This
kind of faith is disappearing, and the modern
form of credulity is a firm belief in anything
that passes for science. Because the weather
bureau ascertains by means of the telegraph
and certain atmospheric conditions, when a
Btorm is Hkely to visit a certain portion of the
earth's surface, a number of quacks and hum
bugs have come to the surface, claiming to be
able to foretell storms and other natural catas
trophe for months and even years before they
are to occur. Hence Wiggins, and hence, also,
a great deal of the trash which is attributed
to science, and which is often but the
wild guesses and untested theories of mere
pretenders. Of course, the great test of science
is the ability to predict When the astrono
mer foretells to tho fraction of a second when
an eclipse will begin and end, there can be no
doubt that he speaks with tho highest human
authority. The same is true of the chemist
who, combining certain atonw, can say what
shade the resulting combination will take.
Augusts Comte, the great French philosopher,
who died less than a quarter of a century ago,
did not believe that we would ever know the
composition of the snn or the stars, and he also
held that man would never be able to foretell
the weather. Since his time, however,
the spectrum analysis has revealed to us
the composition of the heavenly bodies, which
we now find to be tho same as that of this
earth, while meteorology ia fast becoming a
scieuoo upon which to base predictiona But
the great mass of people. now go to the other
extrenrb, and are willing to believe in the Wig
ginses and Vennors, who are simply pretentious
humbugs. The real scientist is modest, and
when he predicts, gives'his reasons, and even
then is careful in drawing inferences from un
disputed facts; but snch meu as Wiggins boast
fully prognosticate without giving any data for
their vaticinations, and they are always wrong.
The growing faith in scitnee will, however,
tempt many false pror-hets to delude and
frighten the world with their malign fore
casts. That Urrat Ked Spot,

Astronomers are speculating as to the mean
ing of the great red spot recently seen on tho
surface of the planet J upiter. It is computed
to be thirty thousand miles long by six to eight
thousand miles wide. Tho matter has been
discussed at the various meetings of scientists
in this country and Europe, and the general
impression seems to be that by some commo
tion, a portion oi me aimospuere oi we piauei
has been temporarily dissipated, thus showing

prevailed that Jupiter is as yet a huge molten
mass, which is gradually cooling off, and
which, in countless ages, may develop land
and water, and, in time, life, similar to that
now existing on this globe. Speculations
about the distant planets are" very fascinating
to students of astronomy, but as yet the facta
in our poaaaonkan are very few. So far a dis

mighty planets still more distant from the sun.

there seems to be no prospect of their raising

The Collective Investigation of Die

New York Sun.
Tho movemont lately begun in England, and
described as "tho collective investigation of
disease," is likely, should ita design become
fully developed, to have a very important
bearing upon the welfare of tho human race.
Tho study of vital statistics, mialeadiiuz as
they often aro, has no doubt advanced indi
rectly the art of preventive modiciue, particu
larly in its hygienic aspects, yet it has elicit
but little knowledge of the real causes of dia
ease, and nono whatever as to the methods of
treatment Morbid anatomy, though of ths
highest value in verifying diagnosisaud show
ing the seat of disease and the organic changes
produced by it, cannot tell us of its causes,
course, or amenability to troatmont in ita
earlier stages. The records of hospital obser
vation, indeed, furnish invaluablo studios of
disease as seen in life, yet the groat facts con
corning its origin and its course, and particu
larly the after results of the hospital treat
ment boHtowod, are, for the most part, ex
tremely meagre and untrustworthy, or. are
wnoiiy wanting.
supplemented by post-mortem studies, would
be of the utmost importance to the scionco of
medicine, it is tho object of the "collective"
movement to obtain. The promoters of that
movement aim to bring together the scattered
fragments of medical knowledge, to condense,
digest and analyze them, and to make the facts
of disease, as observed by medical practition
ers in all parts of the British empire, a basis
from which to encourage a thorough, complete,
and rational ptudy of medical science.
The plan adopted by the committees in
charge is, as stated by. Sir Wiiliam W. Oull, to
draw up a memoranda of tho several sub
jects of inquiry, and to issue cards of ques
tions concerning particular diseasea These
cards are to bo answerod by the physicians to
whom they are sent and returned to tho com
mittee for classification and record.
The immediate result of this comprehensive
method of inquiry will be, of course, to placs
a considerable portion of the enormous accu
mulations of pathological knowledge, now hid
den in private practice, within tho reach of ex
haustive investigation.
In its present form tbo movement is due to
the suggestions of Dr. Mahomed, ably advo
cated by Prof. Humphrey tat Oambndgo. II
received the strong impulse which gives it ita
present hopeful status from a recent confer
ence of physicians at Birmingham. Already
fifty-four committees have been organized, and
nearly one thousand of the chief practitioners
of Great Britain are pledged to the work.
Memoranda have thus far been issued upon
pneumonia, rheumatism, consumption and
diphtheria, and other cards of inquiry will fol
low as soon as advisable.
This movemont places medical investigation
directly and finally under the searching light
of modern scientific methods. Its scope ia
broad and comprehensive, and it not only has
the support of such men as Sir James Paget,
Sir William W. Qull and other physieians of
equal eminence, but it is sustained by the whoft
power of the British Medical association, with
its 10,000 members. The bringing to bear of
so tremondous a force upon a single object
must, sooner or later, exert a powerful in
fluence upon the future of medicine.
Dr. Gull, in a rocout address before tha
Metropolitan counties branch of the British
Medical association, said:
"The whole sympathies of my life are with
this movemont To rightly ask ques
tions of nature is the highest science of the
intellect If the committee issue for
any inquiry a definite question, and that boing
settled, follow it up by another, nature must at
last bo driven into a corner, and be obliged to
to say 'Yes' or 'No.'"
Dr. Paget said:
"As the chief design of this collective inquiry
is to bring into the fields of knowledge all that
may be gained in practice by family and gen
eral practitioners, I would not hesitatu to
name the knowledge, which may be so joined
as likely to lead to the very high
est knowledge, and even to lead to the
solution of the most difficult problems in pa
thology that can be set before us."
Epoch has been said to show the weight and
significance of this movement Its many rela
tions to modern science and human happiness,
and the solid benefits likely to accrue from it,
will readily suggest themselves, and will cause
thoughtful minds to watch the progress of the
investigation with lively interest
Much depends, of course, upon the use to b
made of the knowledge which will thus be ac
cumulated. But in the modern condition of
the mental digestive force, faots easily fall into
their proper places, and are not unlikely in thia
case to be enlarged into a science whose com
prehensive 3 :8cope Hippocrates himself
could not have forsoen, although the method
underlying it is but an elaboration of bia own.

Small Fruits In the West.
The farmers of new states at the west pay
more attention to small fruits than do those of
the east, probably because they know that
small fruits come quickly into bearing. As a
result when apples, pears and peaches fail, aa .
they did in large sections last year, western
farmers had more fruit than many at the east
