Growth of Southern mills outpaced by northern loom gains
The article notes 52 new mills last year with 27 in the South and 14 in North Carolina, while the North led in spindles and looms. It observes Southern mills were smaller and capital-limited, yet profitable, paying dividends up to 8 percent in Fall River and similar returns in the South, with expanding markets at home and abroad. It also argues for better cotton capital in the South and criticizes federal meddling in Hawaii while discussing tariff politics and party consistency.
