The Napa Journal refers, with
pride, to the fact that South
Carolina now leads all her sister
Southern States in the number of
cotton- factories. She has 54
millsrunning at present, oper
ating, in all 1,000,000 spindles
and consuming yearly nearly
150,000,000 pounds of cotton. A
little more than a generation ago
South " Carolina was without a
factory of any kind. The cotton
I crop this year will be in round
numbers 800,000 bales, of which
she will manufacture one-half
into cotton fabrics. Another
generation and the Southern
cotton States will possibly have
as many spindles turning as
there are now in the north At
lantic States.
o i
t The returns show that the aver
age cotton spindle in the United
States produces more than twice
as n)uch yarn as the average
cotton spindle in Great Britain.
It is the trade of bankers, and
always has been, to secure legis
lation that will reduce the quan
tity of money in the world. They
have it to. sell, and the less .there
is of it, the higher the price they
can command for it. They loan
it upon pledges of property.
Those, who do this upon a large
soale are bankers. Those who
do it upon a small scale are
called pawnbrokers. The central
object of the banking power is
to contract the volume of money,
and thereby increase its pur
chasing power. Then a bor:
rower will have to surrpn.Wmr..''

money to pay his debt than the.'
