'Notwithstanding the hir'e scale on which iron making is carried on in Knlaud, nud the advantages of machinery and appliances, this hand-made iron from Japan is imported at u co-t of only half that of the Kiixlisli iron. Ha-kct making is one f the indilsft ies of Appl' ton, Mich. A factory erected there last year made, up to January tirst, over I uo,l mo cum hakcts. One huniln-d hands are cmphycd, and they can make an average of a haket a minute. They also have a saw-mill which cuts up tin Tr hard womI into splits, with a capacity oi 100.000 lit-t mt week. A larjrc chair and iH-dstead factory is near the hasket futory. Water-power is us-d; sixty men are employed, and they cx-ct to make this year 40.IHKI chairs and In.ooo lM-(steads. Yhere are id-o in Appletoii an iron furnace, oajH r mills, a woolen mill, and wvcral tloiinn mills. New Knland must jjo Smth. Such i tlie startling conclusion of the Charleston Atc ii ml l'urirrn view of the cottonrpinnin prosi-et. It says: "ThcSontli. ern cotton-mills are working full time, and lire mnkin money rapidly. Let the Northern mill-owners conie'down South. and they can do tin same. The statistics show that yarn can Im- manufactured in South Carolina, transported to the North, pay a commission of live mt cent, for scllinir, Im- sold at. the cost of Northern pro duction, and yet yield a net profit of live cents a pound.
