The increase of cotton grown all over the world in ten years is
therefore 190,000,000 lbs. Brazil has only increased 6,000,000; Egypt
has increased 12,000,000; India, 5,000,000. Africa, West indies, South
America, Asia, have all fallen off; but the defalcation has been made
good by the United States, which have increased their growth by
205,000,000 of lbs.
In the Southern portion of America there are millions of acres on which
cotton can be successfully cultivated, particularly Texas, the soil of
which is so congenial that they can produce 1,000 lb. to the 400 lb.
raised by the Americans; and the quality of the Texian cotton is said to

that we must look for this produce, as it can there be raised by white
labour; [see Note] and being so produced, will, as soon as its
population in creases to a certain extent, be able to under sell that
which is grown in America by the labour of the slave.
Increase of cotton grown in the United States, from the year 1802 to
1831.
