A 1901 political and economic essay by Senator John Lowndes McLaurin arguing for a 'Commercial Democracy' in the South built on industrial development, reciprocity treaties and protective tariffs. It surveys Southern cotton manufacturing (especially South Carolina mills and exports to China), iron, lumber and rice, and urges a three-cent duty on imported raw cotton to counter Egyptian competition. It also discusses cottonseed by-products and integrated ginning, oil and yarn mills. There is no technical weaving content.
