P«1bI« of Importance to Moaili- ern MannfaeturerB and Planters. Mr. Edward Atkinson, of Bolton, has recently prepared sixty cases of samples of American ootton fabrics, eaob case containing about 200 varieties of goods, the assortment giving a complete exhibit of this branch ot onr industry. These oases have been given to the foreign commis sioners who attended the Centennial Ex* hibition at Philadelphia, and have been sent by them to every part of the world to be exhibited in some permanent place as a standard of American goods. In the preface to the catalogue which accompanied these goods he says: “The cotton factories of the United States contained in 1875 9,539,304 spin dles, and consumed 576,742,753 pounds of cotton, or 1 '6\ pounds per capita. Sam ples of the product of about one-fourth of these spindles are included in the case sent herewith. Since the 1st of July, 1875, it has become evident that the ca pacity of the factories is a little in advance of the present need of the country, hence greater attention has been given to the export of cotton goods thau ever before. “Before the recent civil war our exports consisted almost wholly of coarse and heavy sheetings and drillings, which were shipped to India, China Africa and South America. During the war this export practically ceased, but since its close the business has resumed and is now increas ing. The traffic has been considerably im peded by the practice which has been udopt ed in some competing countries of forging the marks of American goods and placing them on goods of very inferior quality, greatly adulterated with noxious sub stances. The method of making ootton goods in the United States is to use in siz ing the warp only so much pure staroh as is needed to prepare the warp for weav ing, hence it follows that our unbleached drilling or sheeting when washed will lose in weight from four to six per cent, only, and as these fabrics shrink proportionate ly more in surface than they lose in weight, they are proportionately thioker and heavier after they are washed than before. Especial attention is called to heavy drillings, the names aud trade marks of which have been forged in other conn tries, and placed upon goods that lose oetweeu thirty aud forty per cent, of their weight in the first washing—the adulteration consisting of sour flour and Ohina clay or terra alba compounded with Epsom salts, tnrpentino or rosin or sul phate of barytes. “Petitions have recently been sent to the Seoretury of Slate of the United States, to make tho protection of trade marks the subject of treaty stipulation in the negotiation of treaties now pending, and it is suggested that this subject should form a part of any commercial treaty, to the end that goods fraudulently marked may be forfeited in any couutry where they may be offered for sale. In respoot to bleached cottons the same rule of purity of fabric andjfroedom from adulteration substantially prevails in the United States in all standard grades. Some •tyles of goods, fucIi as are intended fi r use as lining material, shoe ducks and for other similar purposes, are starched aud stiffened to adapt them to their specific uses, but tho larger pioportion of all the bleached cottons will be found to be pure, soft, and nearly free from sizing. In fact any other method of rnuking unbleached or bleached cottons for our home con sumption would defeat itself; our main dependence is upon the home market,and the almost universal use of the sewing machines throughout the oonntry compels the adoption of the pure, soft finish, whioh alone works well in the maohine, any stiff, heavily sized, or olay finish heating the needle aud preventing the use of the fabrics on the family sowing ma chine. “Since the first shipment to Great Britain and tho sulo of our fine and me dium fabrios there, in the summer of 1875, our goods have found their way lo many countries where thoy had not been ■old before, aud ns their quality becomes know the foreign demand is steadily in creasing. “We base our claims to compete with other countries upon the following faots The United States possess the great oot ton field of the world ; this field has been redeemed from the curse of slavery, and under the beneficent and now admittedly far cheaper system of free labor is pro ducing crops of cotton already tqnal to the great crops grown previous to the war. The true snooess of the new system is fully proved by s comparison of the following data : Crops. Exports, best and most substantial staple fabrics, and less to the fine ones, that depend up on fashion and faucy for their sale, or up on adulteration, by which light and sleazy I goods are made to appear heavy and firm i n texture. “We work 56 to 60 pounds on the aver age to each spindle in each year against an average of 33$ to 36 pounds in Great Britain, and we olaim that onr machinery is better adapted to making honest and substantial fabrics than any machinery elsewhere; hence in countries where good quality and real service are demanded we olaim to be able to meet the demand more fully and at as low u cost as any manufac turers elsewhere, and we submit onr sam ples and list of prices in proof of our olaim. “According to Ellison & Co.’s annual report of the cotton trade of 1875-’6 the spindles of Europe and America, and the average annual consumption of ootton, are as follows: Spindle*. United State*. 9,600,000 Great Britain 89,000,000 France fi.oou.oou Germany..... 4,060,too Russia te Pol’d 2,600,000 Switzerland... 1,860,000 Spain 1,760,000 Austria 1,680,000 Belgium 8 )0,0 i0 Italy 800,000 Sweed’nfcNor 800, u00 Holland 230,000 Total spindles 68,060,000 1864-55 to 1800-61 (seven years of slave labor).t>ulos..25,728,042 1869-70to 1876-76 (seven years of free labor), bales ...27,102,391 19,905,071 18,789,211 Bales. Excess of free labor production ■even year* Decrease iu export Increase home consumption 2,619,312 “One 6f the most marked signs of progress in the cultivation of cotton now is the great increase of small farms, on which the head of the family may culti vate five to twenty-five acres of ootton which his wife and children help him to piok, and as tho worneu and children can do this light work, the cultivation of ample crops of food alongside or alter nating with tho cotton caop and tho care of stock by the udult laborers becomes easy. Hence the ootton crop is becom ing more and more the surplus crop or profit of the farmer. It appears to bo a well assured fact that the Southern or Cotton States have never, before the last year, so fully produced their own supply of grain aud meat, nor have they ever before owned their cottoQ crop so free from the encumbrance of debt. Hence it may be assumed that underlying the apparent disorder aud confusion sinoe the war in the State governments of the cotton States economic forces are at work which, in the end, will assure protection to the laborer of whatever race or color, with peace, good will and prosperity, and a cordial and real naion with the North ern States. And this new union will be based on common interests, common pur poses and the common welfare of each and a 1 '. “The progress of the State of Texas may pe cited in proof of this statement. Her people iiave had the wisdom to ad here to the specie standard throughout the war and since its cloRe ; hence nearly all business is done in Texas on a gold basis. Het progress in population, pro dnotion and weulth during the last five years probably exceeds that of any other State in the Union. Her largest cotton crop before the war was thatjof 1859-’60, and numbered 405,000 bales. Her crop of 1875-6 is estimated at over 650,000. These cotton field*, measuring distance in cost rathor than in miles, are near the ootton mills of New England, the cost of moving ootton from the Southern mar kets to the mills of New England ranging from one-half a cent to one cent a pound, with a constant tendency to lower rates as the Southern railway system is per fected. “We base our claims ,to share in the supply of the markets of the world upon the methods upon which we work our mills. Being near to the ootton field, we have adapted onr maobinery mors to the spindle. oomumptlon. * * Lb*. 600,000,000 1,297,000,000 2,906/00,000 DRY GOODS.

JOSEPH. *ep24-BB,wBdfcfrly Cotton usod iu the United States is exclusively American; in Great Britain, mostly American, the India cotton im ported being mostly exported to Russia, Germany and Holland. The cotton used in France is Amerioan and Egyptian; in Switzsrland, largely Egyptian. The ques tion now at issue is not only shall the United States supply on ever~inoreasing proportion of the demand for raw cotton, )ut also shall we supply even a moderate proportion of tho demand of the world for cotton fabrics ? Among the countries named above there are only three, possi bly four, that produce more cottou goods thau they consume. These countries are Great Britain, tho United States, Switz erland and Belgium. “It is with Great Britain, however,that we are now entering into a peaceful com petition. In the year 1874 she exported to other countries about eighty-five per cent, of her cotton manufactures. The quantity exported (converting yarn into cloth at a fuir ratio) was equal to 4,400,- 000,000 yards. The value in gold was $300,000,000; in our currency, at the av erage rate of gold for 1874, $410,000,000. The exports of cotton goods from the United Stales in tho same year were not over 50,000,000 yards, valued at $4,823,- 080. On this basis we have about ninety- niue per cent, of the supply of the world to gain, and one per cent, to Iobo. Our oxports of ^cotton goods for 1876 will probably be two and one-half per oent. of those of Great Britain. Mr. Atkinson shows, iu some detail— First, that tho English spinner pays one cent a pound more for his cotton than the Amerioan, and that this is an advance to the latter equal to twenty-five per cent, higher price of the labor required to man ufacture. Second, that ocean transporta tion of manufactures to Central and Sonth America gives ns another advantage equal to ten per cent, of the price of labor. Third, that labor is not actually mnob higher here than in England now, consid ering efficiency of management. Fourth, that in England more mills are ruu by steam—ours mostly by water power, which is cheaper. Fifth, that interest is not much higher to the American than the English ootton spinner. Onr disadvan tages, he says, are in our cumbrous tax system, our depreciated currency and our navigation laws, which prevent ns from having a commercial marine. But he thinks wo ought at least to supply the Central and South American States. ‘Dogs it not seem rather absurd that Graeat Britain should supply Canada, Sonth Amerioa, Mexico, Central America and tho West Indies with 556,000,000 yards of goods in a year, nearly equal to •third of the whole prodnetion of the United States, while wo supplied these States only about 10,000,000 yards ? Is there any reason in the nature of things that our next door neighbors, who would be only too glad to enter into reciprocity treaties with us, should buy of Great Britain cotton cloth equal in number of yards, though perhaps not in pounds, to over thirty per cent of the whole produc tion of this country, while we sold to these countries in yards a little over a half of one per cent, of our production ? What is there in the nature of things that should cause tho trade between the United States and Uruguay to be conducted in this manner! Uruguay sells us a large portion of her great supply of raw hides. The bides are tanned in Now England, the leather is exported to Switzerland, where it is manufactured into shoes lined with cot tou fabric made of American ootton, and the shoes are then sent back to Uruguay and other South Amerioan States to be sold. Furthermore, Uruguay gets her pay for the hides from us in money, this money is sent to London in sterling bills, and there invested in British ootton goods manufactured from American ootton, and these goods are exported to Uruguay. It may be asked whether it would not, per haps, be well to urge upon Congress the expediency of entering into treaties of reciprocal trade with all the States of the continent of America, and for a time at least permit us to try the virtue of re moving ruther than imposing restrictions upon our trade with our immediate neigh bors. “These suggestions have an especial interest for the Southern manufacturers, as their fabrics are mostly of the coarser kinds, absorbing a heavy weight of oot ton, and it is in these fabrics that our relative advantage over Great Britain is the greatest. The demand of Canada and South America is for cotton goods of heavy weight aud firm texture, and as we even now import raw hides, coffee and other commodities from South America to a considerably larger amonnt than we export goods, there can be but little doubt that treaties of reciprocity would immensely inoreaso our commerce."
