Cotton And Cotton Manufactures In The United States Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Cotton and Cotton Manufactures in the United States So mills go on half-time to diminish product. Half a product will yield a profit, while the whole product, by overstocking the market, would be sold at a loss. When the markets of the world can be commanded, there can be no sudden piling up, because the area of distribution is too broad to be suddenly overstocked. Business becomes more steady with surer profits. A man engaged in a business, the products of which are used only at home, is as much interested in the question of foreign markets as the one who trades directly abroad. The labor, or producing power, of a country, is wonderfully connected. It is like water in a great reservoir. Water drawn from any point affects the level of the whole. All labor, in a country, that finds a market in foreign lands, removes so much competition from those whose products are consumed at home. When for eign markets are shut off, all home markets have sharp compe tition from increase of laborers on the home-consumed products. Every yard of textile fabric sent out of the country gives a better market and better price for every yard sold in the coun try. Labor by the influence of the wide market is more certain of employment, and is better paid: so it matters little, consider ing the interests of the country as a whole, what Specific article is sent abroad; it represents so much material removed from competition with products. That are sold at home. By the stimulus of foreign markets, also, labor is turned into the best channels, into the channels where we can produce most at least cost.

Excerpt from The Cotton Manufacturing Industry of the United States: Awarded the David A. Wells Prize for the Year 1911-12 and Published From the Income of David A. Wells Fund The work has necessarily been restricted at several points. The early history is not given more space because, for the pur poses oi this study, it has seemed advisable to concentrate upon the later period. A history of wages in American cotton mills has not been undertaken because of the vast amount of time that would be required to secure the data on which to base any reliable conclusions. In the second part very little is said con cerning the European lace industry, because of its complicated character and the small size of our own lace manufacture. Finally, but slight reference has been made to the social condi tions under which the Operatives live, and no attempt has been made to compare cost Of living in the different countries. The object has been to secure unity, and by no means to imply that the question of laborers' welfare or standard of living is less worthy Of investigation.
