Recently Congressman Hugh Bucbannnn, of the Fourth Georgia District, wrote to Mr. W. H. Young, President of the Eagle and Phoe nix Manufacturing Company, at Columbus, Ga., to know what effect the enactment of the Morrison Tariff bill would have upon the great industry of which ho is the head. His reply has been banded to -Mr. Blount, of tho Ways and Means Committee, and Is as fol lows: .{ Mt, Columbus, March 13, 1884. lion. Hugh Buchannan,;Hous-- of Uepreeentativea, Washington, D. C.: Dear Sir—I have vour letter of tho 10th instant, in which you ask my views as to what effect a reduc tion of twenty percent, would have on the cotton manufacturing inter ests of the South. To the question I answer unhesi tatingly, none. The 'South is now engaged in manufacturing, say standard or heavy weight goods, and whicli arc mainly consumed by the masses of our population, South and North, and now the South sends her sui- plus production to the North, where they displace all such heavy weight goods as were formerly made there and sent South. These advanta ges (in all such goods) roust ever remain with the South over New England and old England; and Now England, on account of closer proximity to the cotton fields, has a relative advantage over old Eng land. COMPETITION OF ENIILAND. A reduction of twenty per cent, on the tariff would not enable Eng land to compete with this country North or South, in these heavy weight goods, but if the tariff *on ail goods entering into the cost of manufacture in this country wero also reduced twenty per cent., then the manufacturers, North and South, would be beuefitted, and if the duties on nil such goods enter- ing into the cost of manufacturing were made free, then the North anc South could compete with England in alt markets of the world. The tariff as it now stands shuts out all foreign competition with manufacturing productions in this country, except a fow specialties of fine goods for tl<o wealthy, mid it locks in their productions and thus confines them to the demand, and as a consequence thero is now glut of goods. To illustrate my losition: The company over which preside consumes about fifty bales ot cotton per day. A Now England mill consuming that amount of cotton would have to pay $850 per day more for it than it cost this company, and a mill in England would bnve to pay more than that. These advantages are so great that the tariff, if entirely removed, would not enable England to com pete with this country on heavy weight goods, and if the tariff were removed on all articles that enter into tho cost of manufacturing, then this country could command the markets of the world, and the supremacy of England would be ended. m*m. COST OF LABOR. I have visited England three limes, and have investigated the cost of labor compared with the South, and found it more, or higher, than here, and yet our operatives was in better condition, from the fact that food cost less with us and clothing also, as our climate does not require such heavy clothing. I think labor at the North about the same as in England. I also Investigated the cost and selling price of heavy cotton goods and concluded I could sell in Eng land at a profit, but to do it I must adopt tbeir peculiarities of styles, andT prefer a home market. I believe if all our custom houses were abolished that this country would find in England a large mar ket for our manufactures of cotton and woolen gcods. Now this coun try is heavily taxed with almost everything that enters into the cost'of production, beginning with machinery and ending with baling goods with Sootch burlaps. . I believe the manufacturing in terests in this country, with tbeir natural advan! :ges, Il free from all tariff' legislation, would soon make the United States the great manu- facti-ring ceotre. Yours truly, W. H. Young, . PresentjjralgMd Pbeeoljc Manu facturing Company. , A Practical Free Trader. Colonel J. H. Estill, of the Sav annab Morning News, says the Florida Times, has imbibed bis free trade principles in a very praoti- ole but rather unusual way. A few mouths sinco Colonel Es- till found it necessary to purchase a new printing press - to do certain work in his large publishing bouse in Savannah. Alter careful ob- servation of the northern manufac tories he found tiiat $6,000 was the lowest sum that would purchase the press desired. When he threatened to patronize other establUnments, he was told that an understanding existed in reference to prices be tween different manufacturers, and that it would be useless to try else- where. Unwilling to pay the price named, Colonel Estill investigated the circulars of English honses dealing in such goods, selected press ns nearly similar to the A mcrican press as possible, ordered it, paid the custom house duties, the trans-Atlantic freight, and the freight to Savannah, and found that the press, which satislaclorily answcied every purpose, had cost him in the grand total only $1,700! He felt tho practical beauties of free trade breaking all over him at this time. At another time he had In view the purchase of a supply of new typo and ninterml, so large that two rival dealers came down to sec him personally on the subject. Dissatisfied with their prices, Col- ouel Estill threatened to cross the water ugain in the interest of econ omy. He was reminded that this would be unpatriotic, hut showing no disposition to relent, one of tho dealers who knew the better terms he could make, reduced his bid $3,000, to successfully compete with foreign manufactures and of course obtained the order. In a hundred practical ways like these Col. Estill has become fixed in his tree trade notions, nsd he is now an everlastingly solid free trader oi the “most siraightcst sect.” It is almost impossibly to arguo with a man whose convictions are built upon so practical a basis. One million dollars, instead of $100,000, as erroneously reported by telegraph, is the sum which the Eagle and Phamix Company at Columbus will cost. The Sun of Sunday says : “Capt. A. V. Boat- rite returned a day or two since from a commercial tour through South and North Carolina in the interest of the Engle and 1’ha-nix Mills. In answer to the question as to the state of busidcss be thinks it might be more active, though he secs no reason to complain. In a chat with him we leant that ho was absent from tho city just 50 days. OI that time 7 of the days were Sundays and 6 days he was travel ing and did no business. In the 37 days in which he was engaged in representing the mills his sales amounted to $87,000, or $1,000 per day. Among bis sales were 2,800 pieces of cottonades. As there arc 10 salesman traveling for the mills, if each one has done as well it would amount to $370,000, or $10,- 000 per day, and 8,800 pieces of cottonades would aggregrato that many thousands; that is, $23,000.” We have rceeived a Hot Blast from Alabama—whence we might naturally expect a hot blast. The Hot Blast is a new newspaper, and is contains a marked account of the wonderful feats of one Charles Williams, who, it is stated, “when a young man before the war, left Norristown, Pa., after serving his time in a railroad machino shop.” Charles, it is further stated, has discovered a secret which enables him to lift a locomotive, or steam boat, by simply placiug his bands under them. Mr. Williams has eith er made a wonderful discovery, or the Alabama paper tells a col ossal lie; but what this country wants is the discovery of a secret which will enable a man to lift a mortgage on a church, or his house, by simply placing bis bands on the building—Norristown Herald.
