A writer in the Boston Herald, reprinted in the News and Courier, is laraeuting and sounding a note of warning that a crisis is about to come in the cotton manufactur- ing industry in New England. We quote a portion of the arti cle : “It is remarkable that the people of New England should stand idle and see other States take the bread from their mouths and the oppor tunity for work from their young men. Compare the action of the Southern States with ours. A Southern prospectus now before me offer* »«» any vrho will build a mill in the lowu m free water power, no taxes, free land, lovr-priood coal, American labor costing 25 per cent- less than ours in Massachusetts, and working 66 hours a week, against our 58 hours On the other hand, what does Massachusetts otfer to capital ? It offers 58 hours a week, or 8 hours shorter than the Southern States, labor 25 per cent, higher, high taxation and the privilege of en countering strikes. The investor does not have to think long as to which is the better place to put in his money, and hundreds of thous ands of dollars have been invested in the South by Massachusetts men which should have been in vested in this State; this, because they realized that the advantages offered to them in the South Were so much greater than those offered at home. Our loss has beei} their gain. The efforts of the so-called “friend of the laborer” have bdeu largely responsible for this, Jbd our citizens have allowed legisla tion to be passed which has driven capital and labor from our States. Let us take note that, although we are not all stockholders in cotton mills and manufacturing concerns, yet this manufacturing business in its various branches is the back bone of New England. If it is taken away, what is to become of New England? How are her business men, bankers, lawyers, doctors, farmersaud railroads to live with their customers, clients and con sumers taken away ?” New England has had her good days. For a long time she has had the monopoly, not alone of the cotton manufacturing industry, but if the other great manufactur ing industries of the country. She still has enough and to spare. The government has all along up held its arm to protect her, and she has grown fat upon the labor and hard earned produce of the South; and (her savings hanks are now swollen with millions that by statute cannot be invested outside a few favored cities of the North. By a kind interposition of Provi dence the day of the South is com ing.
