The history of cotton is strewn with Kl Dorados ? except for some of those inventors whose Ingenious ma chines of the eighteenth century have made riches for modern Lancashire. Arkwrljiht Is the most conspicuous In stance of reward following merit. Most of them, like llurgraves, died in pov erty. It ts only In our own times that vast fluctuations In the price of cot ton have taken place, and that, of course, Is due to the ama/.lng Ingenui ty of the men wlio made the human like machines that now do the work of a thousand men. When machinery was tirst applied iu Britain one of these more fortunate inventors boast ed that he had reduced the price of a specially fine kind of cotton from $100 to $4 for a quantity sufficient to make a lady's dress. We need him now. Utopia. Gibraltar seems to ftjlfill ??H the con ditions of ? "desirable residence" for war-impoverished people. There are no talfcs. except on alcoholic liquors and tobacco, and the revenue, mainly derived from customs and port dues, shows a handsome balance on the rjght side.
