Description:Excerpt: The readers of the "Merchants' Magazine" will recollect that in the number for November, 1849, an article was published in relation to the culture and manufacture of cotton at the South, furnished by me. That article has had the effect to call forth considerable discussion in the columns of the newspaper press, and, finally, a review from the pen of Amos A. Lawrence, Esq., of Boston, which appeared in the December (1849) number of the Merchants' Magazine, and that of January, 1850, under the head of "The Condition and Prospects of American Cotton Manufactures, in 1849," and to which the following remarks are intended as a reply. Before proceeding, however, to discuss the subject in question, the writer would beg leave to make two or three preliminary observations. 1st The caption of Mr. Lawrence's review, as he pleases to term it, is a sort of rusanintended, no doubt, to lead the reader away from the true question. My article was not based on the cotton manufactures of America for 1849, nor for any other particular year. It was an abridgement of a pamphlet published at the request of others, and extensively circulated at the South and South-West, based on the general condition of the cotton manufacture in America and Great Britain, for a series of years, and the "prospect" as to what might be done at manufacturing in the South. Of course, in treating the subject, respect was had to the advantages the South possessed over the North for the prosecution of the business. Of all this, in his animadversions on my estimates of cost profits, Arc., Mr. Lawrence takes not the slightest notice, but represents me as stating, as my prices of cotton, the value in the New York market. He may consider such conduct gentlemanly: I consider nothing gentlemanly that is unfair-and Mr. Lawrence must have known that ho entirely misrepresented me. In the second place, I consider Mr. Lawrence totally incompetent to discuss such a subject; and it is his name alone that gives his opinions respecting it any weight. This I pledge myself to prove to the letter, before I have done with him. He is neither a mechanic nor a practical manufacturer; and is probably not much better qualified to make up a correct judgment on the subject in question, than he would be to command a ship of war.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
