From the unprotected cotton fields of the South in the last ten years. in the form of European gold. there have come $3.186.537.000. The Senator said that it camie as the proceeds of the increased wealth under the influence of protection. and he also said that there were $5.000.000.000 of it. Three billion dollars comes from that source that has to compete with the pauper labor of Europe. From the South has poured this stream of gold. and I am a little inclined to think that. as the doctors say. their stimulant has been local but not diffusive. as a good drink of whisky would be. and that they have been misled by the prosperity that has broken out in spots at our expense. The accompanying table. marked "Exhibit A." gives the bales produced per State. the number of farms. the population over 10 years of age engaged In agricultural pursuits. the number of bales per farm. and the amount per capita received in return for the cotton.
