LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. [We would be much pleased to insert every week communications regarding subjects which are of general interest to our readers. Personal communications will be invariably rejected. THE SANTA ANA VALLEY Woolen Mills and Cotton Factories—(to be). BY J. M. GUINN. Cotton growing in California is no longer an experiment; it has become one of our established and permanent industries. The crop of 1872 is estimated at fifteen hundred bales. It is safe to estimate the crop of the present year at double that amount, and it will increase from year to year, until it becomes one of our most important products. The growing of it is now confined to the counties of Merced, Fresno, Tulare and Kern. There are many localities in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties where it can be profitably produced. From the valley of the Brozos—the great cotton producing district of Texas—to our valley, by the proposed route of the Texas Pacific railroad, is a little over nine hundred miles. From the same point to Massachusetts or New Hampshire is in an air line nearly two thousand, and by water over three thousand. It certainly seems reasonable that, with equal facilities for manufacturing—but with the advantage of a thousand miles in nearness to the producer—we upon the opening of the railroad ought to be able to compete successfully with the New England millmen for the cotton crop of Texas. Many portions of the northern States of Mexico are well adapted to the growth of cotton. With a great transcontinental railway upon its borders—a new impetus will be given to the sluggish industries of a part at least of that unfortunate country. Thus centrally located to these great cotton growing districts we the producer, in his own neighborhood. In passing from the hands of the producer of the raw material to the hands of the Eastern producer of the manufactured fabrics, the price of our wool is increased one hundred per cent. That is, one hundred per cent, goes to the non-producers—the commission merchants, the middlemen, the insurance agent, storage, freights, loss in shipping, etc. The cost of living is at least fifty per cent. higher in the manufacturing cities of the East than in California. The same brand of flour that is now selling at six dollars per barrel in San Francisco, sells in Boston and New York at nine dollars per barrel—fifty per cent again, to the non-producer. There is about the same difference in every other article of food. Here then, in two staples—raw material and breadstuffs—the California manufacturer, as compared with his Eastern competitor, would make a saving of one hundred and fifty per cent; surely enough to bala ce all such drawbacks as the higher price for labor (which, by the way, is more factious than real) and the higher rates of usury. Of course an increase in population, consequent upon the building up of manufactures would increase the price of breadstuffs at home; but what would be lost to the manufacturer by this, would be gain to the grain grower. In either case, the grin would go to the producer, and not as it now does, to those cormorants, speculators and freight monolists. There is much more that might be said upon this subject, did time permit of my writing it and people care to read it. Whether the people of the valley are interested in the scheme I have been advocating, they are at least interested in the development of the country in one way or another. Upon the products of our soil in some shape or other, d pends our prosperity. We have a soil of unprecedented fertility, but a rainfall inadequate to its needs. Four years of partial failure of crops must have convinced the most skeptical that we cannot depend upon our rain- No other industry gives so rapid and, at the same time, so permanent a growth and prosperity to a country as do manufacturing enterprises. To substantiate the truth of my assertion, take the history of any of the manufacturing cities or towns of New England. Take that of Lawrence, Mass., as a notable illustration. Twenty-seven years ago, the site of that now large and flourishing city was one of the most uninviting places in all New England. Its only productions were cobble-stones. A few shrewd Yankees, casting about for something that would pay, discovered that by damming the Merriam river at this point and constructing two or three miles of canal, an immense water power could be obtained. They lost no time in speculating whether such an undertaking would pay or not, but forming a company and securing the land around, they set to work immediately to carry out their scheme. Staid business men shook their sagacious heads when the project was broached to them. It could not be made to pay. Ten miles above was the gr at manufacturing city of Lowell; still above, on the same river and its tributaries, were Nassau, Manchester and Concord, turning out their miles and miles of cotton and woolen cloths every day. Scattered all over New England were cities and towns engaged in the same business. It was useless to try to build up another manufacturing city—the business was monopolized. Nothing daunted the projectors persevered. It cost them two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to dam the river, but with all that it paid. Within seven years from the time the first house was built the city of Lawrence had a population of fifteen thousand. Its cotton and woolen factories were daily producing more than a hundred and fifty miles of棉. The Pacific Mills, only one of half-a-dozen similar establishments, was running a hundred thousand spindles and two thousand four hundred looms, giving employment to three thousand hands, and turning out cotton and woolen cloths to the value of three millions of dollars.
