"Editorial: One of their Errors – 3...
Editorial: On the Look-out for Cotton – 4-5 A Contrast – 5"

Both of these editorials review the roles of "King Cotton" in the war and in international relations.
It's fair to expect these reflect the views of those "Northeastern power brokers" (NPBs) about whom posters like DiogenesLamp have so thoroughly instructed us.

But a careful reading of their words shows us those NPBs are not at all thinking about disruptions in their own "money flows from Europe", but rather are more concerned that European powers, on losing their cotton supplies from the Confederacy will turn to other global producers, thus ending the South's near monopoly on world cotton production.

The loser in the game of "cotton diplomacy" will be the South, our editors say.
