Book Description
Excerpt from The Plough, the Loom, and the Anvil, 1856, Vol. 8 Now we ask whether, independently of all collateral matters, such as ih creased value of lands, advantages of a home market, etc., etc., which would result from a diversity of pursuits, the cotton crop of this country is a paying crop, in comparison with many other agricultural products, raised both at the North and South? In our last issue we set forth the facts of the case as far as we had the means at hand. We there found that the prevailing price of cotton for many years, at the seaboard, is eight cents a pound; and from all the statements there set forth, from cotton growers and statistical tables, we found that it actually costs nearly, if not quite, that amount.
