AMERICAN COTTON FABRICS.
SOME INTEIftEHTIftCI FACTS
ABOUT TUEIB PRODUCTION.
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:

“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

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."
