Retributive Justice- Fall River, Mass, tbe leading man ufacturing city of New England, has lost sboul four per cent of its popula tion during tbe past year. According to various authorities this is attributed to tbe shutting down of cotton mills and it is southern competition that has caused them to shut down. newspapers of that section are viewing this condition of affairs with serious alarm and are asking if a like fate, a loss of population and of busi ness, Is to befall all of New Euglsnd. In discussing this question it has been intimated, not by New England news papers, however, that something like retributive justice was being dealt out to this puritanical section. New England was the roost blatant agitator in the movement towaids freeing slaves; she wae the hotbed of abolitionists, the one section which presumed to lay down a moral stand ard to be lived up to by another. She busied herself to destroy the value of private property in tbe south, and to punish us for insisting that we bad a legal and property right in tbe slaves which years before she bad sold us. New England accomplished her pur pose so far as freeing the slaves was concerned, and in inflicting a loss of hundreds ol millions of dollars upon tbe south. The reorganized south is now hav* ing its revenge, not from malioe or through any effort to punish it's old enemy, but because the inherent nat ural advantages bestowed by tbe Cre ator upon thio favored section are surely taking awary from bleak New England’s hills her moat profitable industries. The new condition of af faire, forced upon the south, compelled her to take advantage of Nature's beneficence. New England was the prime factor iu bringing about this etale of affaire, and now she can not well complain that she io tbe loser thereby. The quickest way out of tbe trouble is for her mill owners to bow to the inevitable and hasten to move their plants south—Columbus En quirer.
