Now. Mr. Chairman. with this acknowledged natural condition in that country. with its pauper labor capable of producing cotton and cotton goods in such quantities as to absolutely threaten this great industry in our own country. is it wise in us to force conditions there that will build up this competition against our own farmers and manufactories? I think not. Today the South. in its development in manufacturing cotton goods. is not only surprising her own people. but has startled New England. and she is warned that she must soon go out of business unless this rapid development of the factories of the South is handicapped in some way.
