Southern mills and fabric prestige in the cotton trade
A Natches paper argues coarse Southern cloths compete with New England goods, but finer South produced fabrics sell better under Northern branding. The New York Herald concedes and notes Southern vigor, while praising South’s natural advantages in cotton production and labor. It predicts continued progress and eventual leadership, amid political economy lessons as the Treasury enforces strict morning punctuality. Also noted are details on Congressman Romers, his rise from cabin boy to baggage chief on the Wabash Railroad, and his German heritage and appearance.
