AMERICAN COTTON MANUFAO-
TUHES-
America stand e second among the
nations in the cstent of its cotton
nnnufsciures , Englsnd alone out-
r Tiking it. It ° w W fait to clore
tbe gap , and , gaining control ot thoie
mcrkets now Urgely monopolised by
Britlih goods , to had the world In
the production tnd manufacture of
cotton. Tbe canses of the decline of
the E iglUb cotton ln.de and the at
tendant rise of American textile - n-
ufactnres , are not hard to discover.
The inflated state of the world's mar
ket prior to the commercial panic of
1873 crested an enormous demand for
nil classes of cottons , which England ,
with superior facilitieswas best able to
uupply. Evensubseonentlytothopan-
ic , np to the year 1876 the markets of
India and China wore heavy consumers
of English goods an d stimulated the al
ready uverstraiaei production of the
factories. The crash of 1877 in India
and the heavy fall in rupees for which
alone ihe goods were sold , entailed
fearful losses in the English market.
To increase profits the manufacturers
resort'd to the most barefaced meth
ods of weighing their goods with
clay.andthe trick detectedjioonjieatted
upon its inventors. The consequent
accumulation of cotton goods in tie
eitt depressing prices therebslow the.
current cost of production in Men.
cheater largely reduced the outturn of
the English mills and almoit e t oj-
ed the usual profits on the piodactlou
Before 1873 , theyetr of f-e panic ,
American factories had ipentjlarge sums
in improving the mills and machinery ,
enlarging their c p ty and cheapen
ing the cost of the several processes of
making cotton cloth. The hard times
following 1873 were juat what wa * re
quired for working out the Vest Im
provements and the best econcrates ,
yet keeping the miilc running , ( heir
labor employed sad well paid , and the
country supplied with ooiion goods at
low and falling prices. All this was
accomplished , and besides the con
struction of 1,750,000 spindles wholly
new , other millions of old tpindles and
oth 3i machinery of the cotton mills were
replaced with nqw of the beet de
vices yet known. The result was an
increase of prodnctivo capacity far
beyond the proportion of added ma
chinery , all fitted fez producing bettci
goods thao before at ckecper cost.
Exporters soon found the piloa of on
cottons low enough to enter the for
eign markets there to compete with
Manchester Roods , and the demand fit
home and abroad was sn oient to
keep I upg production , when the re
vival of bufiinoti osmo our mills found
themselves untblo to fill the orders
which came pouring in upon them
from nearly every portion of the globe.
By the report of the census there
are now in the United States 230,223
looms , 10,921,147 spindles , which
einsnme annually 1,586,481 bales of
ootton and employ 181,628 persons.
Thirty ot of our thirtyight states
have cotton mills within their borders.
Momclnss ts leads with 94,788
looms , 4,465,230 cpitidles , employing
C2,794 operatives , followed by Rhode
Island with 30,274 looms ; Now Hamp-
hirowith 25,487 ; Connecticut , 13- ,
036 ; Maine , 15,978 , and Now Tarr
with 12,822. In the southern slates ,
Georgia leads with 4,71 ? loonu , fol
lowed by Maryland wi h 2,325 and
North Carolina with 1.W50.
These figures do not include the
hosiery tnSlle , or any , of .the mills
known KB woolen rnllli , where cotton
may be a component material in the
manufacture. They show the won
derful development of manufactures
this branch of indnsiry within the ,
put twenty yean. The constant red j ?
increasing demand for Avoriun cot
tons , for export , are sufficient gnsr-
antoe for the future.

The sanatoria ! problem hu taken an
altogether { different turn from every
body's predictions , and simply result
ed in disappointing all aides. This dis
appointment , howovsr , Is not an un
pleasant ; one. Mr. Van "ftvck wti
supported u the anil-monopoly can
didate for senator , occupies about the
same relative position to the powers
that be as Senator Saunders. From
the beginning Mr. Tan Wyck's candi
dacy hxs been advocated by tha des
pised Mr. Rosewates-and his persist
ent BEE , end this in fact was about
the heed and front of his whole
support. It wss supposed that
Mr. Rsavrater's influence was
largely mcasnrcd when the teat
question carna up in the senate of the
appointment of ths committees by
Lieutenant Governor Garni. On this
Iiiue the opposition were able to
rncster but three or four votei , and it
appeared to outsiders that Mr. Rosewater -
water himself hid practically given up
the contest , which wts the issue
whether the railroad corporations
should not bo further subordinated to 1I 1J
the legislative authorities. Perhaps
the result doesn't altogether guarautta
that there it to b a baalinover of f

Our Future ) States.
,
census returns from the tern-
tories , ehowing thslr present popn
lation and their grosvth slnca 1870 ,
furnish valuable indications as to
their . _ future _ development and the
probable time of their admission as
states of the inion. Dskota reports
tha largest growth in the decennial
bariod. Her population Increased
from 14,181 to34Q2 , a gain of
120,321. Woh&vo already discussed
the future of this vast ie'ion and
pre onted reasons for its division
into thraa territories , and the
spzeay admiieion of the most popu
lous diviiion as a elate. The
portion of the prssent territory south
of the iortv-slxth parallel and east of
"
the one "husdrodth meridian hoe
already a population , if we estimate
the Immigration aihca the censujwas
taken , not falling much if any
short of 100,000 , and another year's
influx of new settlers will probably in
crease it to 120,000. The eecijon
north of tha forty-sir h parallel , lying
railrotdjind including tha fertile valley
of Red river , Is rapidly filling up wiih
rbeat farmars/and mar b expected
to grow up to the dignity of a state
during the next ten year * .
Mont populous of all the territories
is Utah , which has 143,80 ? inhabit
ants , and has gained 57,121 slnco
1870. .On iho score of population
alone Utah has lonx had the right to
claim admission us a state , but con
gress has never shown a disposition to
r cogazo ! this clr.im , and probably
never will , so loag as the territory is
cursed hj polygamy. To give her
sUto autonomy would be to enable its
paople to perpstnats polygamy , by
atata latta , and to put ihnmselves
wholly outside iho reach of federal
interference. It is eafe to say that
Utah will remain in her present con
dition of tutelage until her social life
is purified of its peculiar abomination.
She is out of the future list of states
for an Indefinite period. New Mexico ,
which actually receded in population
between 1860 and 1870 , ia now
showing t slow but healthy growth ,
snd with the completion of the Atchison -
son , Topika and Santa Fo railroad to
her capittl and the construction of
the Southern Pacific line across her
pouthera countier , will undoubtedly
receive a largo accets of new settlers.
We may reasonably look for her cd-
mission during tbo n xt five or cix
year * . She his now 118,430 inh&bi-

consolidation of the Western
with the American , like the
consolidation of the Weitern Now
snd the Atlantic and Pacific'
cosspaiUa , has had the of- Next
wfilch might have been antici
. The business public have be
alarmed at tha monopoly of the
telegraphic business of the country by ,
gigantic corporation , and at the St. ,
prospect of oppressive
telegraph tolls ; and tha remit is that
in New York and Chicago moTements
iavo already been Inangurated _ bf
capitalist.- , looking to the establish
ment of independent lines between
thoie cltiea to form the bate of n in
dependent i/stem of telegraphic linci
throughout the country. As was de
tailed in our Chicago and Hew Tork
dispatches , a number of prominent
business men and large opJtal-
iatsof both cities hare taken step * ,
each independently of thb other , to
form nevr companies for this purpose ,
and to coard against future absorp
tion. There is to be a provision In
the charters , which they are to apply
for from their respective legislatures ,
forbidding combinations with any
other companies under penalty of for
feiture. Though these schemes are
yet in embryo , there ia every proba
bility that they will be carriad into
execution , and for two reasons. First ,
the great bulk of the commercial busi
ness of the countrj is now done
through the telegraph. It has becom *
such a necessity of the ordinary daily
commercial transactions of the coun
try that it has about superceded _ tlie
nuilo as a means of communicxtiou.
Hence , it is of vital importance
to all the business interests of
the country thtt tha telegraphic toll *
should be reduced to thp lowest rate.
A a longj therefore , as any rasson es-
iss ! for the apprehsnaion that ratat
will ba maintained at or raised to a
oppressive figure , ag could easily be
deco by r. compauy having the exclu
sive control of ths telegraph businss *
of the country , the business interests
of the country will seek to protect
thanuelres by the establishment of in
dependent ; , teltgraph lints. The second
reason if that the est of constructing
end ( raa'uitaiuidg telsgrt pfVass is so
email in proportion to tfie'revauife ro
ceivcd from them that tbera trill b
a eonstaat temptation for competitors
to enter the fiuld ao long as this dii
proportion exists. As t'io country
grows waslthier , and the circle of
largo capitalists seeking opportunities
for profitable mreetment is constantly
and rapidly widening , there will be a
growing difpetition on their part to
encroach on the fields now under the
exclusive control of single telegraphic
companies. And there is only ono
way in wh ch thsy can protect thorn-
selves from thuae encroachments , and
thai is to reduce and keep their raioa
io so low a standard that no independ
enfc companies can hope to compete
with them. Possibly this may prove
to bo the future policy of the recently
consolidated companies. If they
should adopt the policy of the British
postal telegrapli and establish a low
upifprfn rafej without regard to dii
taoce , throughout tlio ccuut J '
ow , for example , AS the British rate
thcro ens be but little doubt that the
same zeaults would follow as upon tl
introduction of tbe uniform penny
rate of postage in Great Britain , or
three cents postage in this country.
It wonld u vastly increase the busi
ness of the telegraph lines , as to
yield in the aggregate is hrge a
profit as they now obtain in the re
duced business of higher rater. . To
this complexion it must come at lasi.
If the mammoth telegraph monopo
lies of the ountry shall not ba forced
to the adoption of this policy to pro
tect themselves from private compe
tition , or the sttll more threatening
competition of ihe government , then
it wll either be
brought about as the
result of competition , or by the
method every day becoming more
popular , the establishment of a sys
tem of postal telegraphy by the gov
ernment. Wo have a very strong im-
,
presMou that the existing telegraph
companies will eventually sos ths ne
cessity of voluntarily adopting this
policy as n measure of self-protecti- ,
and that they will prefer to do all the
business of tha country at rates which
will effectually defy and repress com
petition rather than to do it at rates
which are constantly inviting compe
tition and governmental interference.
Mr. Trod Barr , Mansfield , Ohio ,
writes as follows : After &uff ring
