Mr. Tilden oil Cotton.
The directors of the Atlanta Expo,
sition recently paid to Hon. Samuel
J. Tilden the compliment of formally
adopting a series of resolutions invit
ing him to visit tho Exposition which
has been so complete und brilliant a
success. They also appointed a com
mittee, consisting of three prominent
gentlemen, who were also accompanied
by Governor Colquitt and Gen. John
lb Gordou.to present these resolutions
to Mr. Tilden personally. Finding
himself unable to visit Atlanta, Mr.
Tilden excused himself iu tho follow
ing graceful and interesting letter :
Gravstonk, Dec. 17.
To th* Executive Committee 0/ the Interna
tional Cotton Exposition at Atlanta:
Onnutx: 1 have had the honor to
receive your resolutions inviting me to
visit the International Cotton Imposi
tion as your guest, and designating
Messrs. Robert Tannahill, John 11. In
man, and M. B. Fielding as a special
committee to communicate them tome.
1 have also had the honor of a personal
presentation of a copy of those resolu
tions at the hands of those gentlemen,
accompanied by Gov. Colquitt, the presi
dentof the exposition, und Gen. Gordon.
It is with much regret that 1 feel
obliged to deny myself the great pleas
ure tendered me with such distinguish
ed courtesy. It would delight me to
interchange friendly greetings with the
citisens whom I should expect to meet
at Atlanta, and to avail myself of so
favorable an opportunity lor observing
with my own eyes the elements ot in
dustrial growth which promise a future
of marvelous prosperity to the southern
States. Above all, 1 desire to contri
bute my influence, however inconsider
able it may be, towurd encouraging a
movement to organize investigation und
intelligence concerning subjects ol vn-t
interest, not to the south alone, but to
our whole country atni the world.
I may venture to hope that the public
spirit which created and has sustained
this exposition is not exhausted, but
that the signal success of this first essay
will induce similar efforts, attract in
creasing public attention to them, and
secure lor them wider cooperation und
more perfect development.
The last time I visited those islands
which were the homes ol most of our
ancestors I realized what a benefaction
it was that had set in these heavens a
sun which is generally radiant and
sometimes blazing. It is what climato
logists call the upward curve in the
hourly and daily tides of hest, which
makes our 4.70.000,000 bushels of wheat
a sure crop, which ripens our 1,750,000,-
000 bushels of corn, and which enables
us to grow 6,000,000 bales of tbe best
and cheapest cotton.
The invention which separates by
machinery tbe fibre of tbe cotton Irom
the seed gave a new comfort to every
fireside. Better clothing at less co*t
was a boon to mankind. The fact that
one-half of the present cotton crop is
the product of white labor lias dis|>e)led
the illusion that the Caucasian race has
been excluded by Providence from their
natural share in so important a culture,
and assures in the future an ample sup
ply of labor from sources of indefinite
extent. This result derives momentous
importance from tbe fact that the actual
culture of tbe cotton is now applied to
less than one-thirtieth part of (lie lands
embraced in the cotton belt.
The development of your agricultural
industries will soon be followed by
manufactures. A mature community,
while it is enlarging the positive volume
of its external commerce, increases the
proportion of domestic manufactures
which enterinto the local consumption.
The advantages of a superior adaptation
of climate, aoil, and other spontaneous
bounties of nature, and of a geographi
cal contiguity to the market are a legiti
mate protection to the local industriea,
founded on the greatest productiveness
of human labor in supplying the wants
of man, and upon the utmost saving in
the coat of transportation between the
producer and <-on*ulßar. It contrasts
-with the artificial devices of legislation,
always unskillful, and often perverted
by selfish greed, which generally have
the effect of diminishing the productive
power of human labor, just as if the
boil were rendered less fertile or the
climate less genial by act of Congresk in
order to enable the deluded beneficiary
to make some profit out of enterprises
otherwise unremunerative. The south
is rich in natural capacities of produc
tion, as yet mainly unappropriated. To
utilize these capacities is a beneficent
process. Its results may come, not so
fast or so soon as some may hope, but I
predict that when they do come they
will In their magnitude transcend the
anticipations of the most sanguine.
Your fellow-citizen,
HstiL-ar, J. Tii.mm.
