Wellsman, senior member of Trenholm Brothers, in New York, joined the Liverpool house, the senior member and manager of which wasCharles K. Prioleau, formerly of Charleston. There was no loan tonegotiate; for the Confederacy--recognized only as belligerents--had nocredit among nations, and no system of taxation by which it could hopeto derive any revenue available for purchasing supplies abroad. But itpossessed a latent purchasing power such as probably no other Governmentin history ever had. T...he cotton crop of its people was a prime necessity for themanufacturing world outside, and, for want of machinery, was utterlyvalueless in all the Southern States except Georgia, where there were afew small factories. Almost immediately after the outbreak ofhostilities the Confederate authorities began to buy cotton, paying insuch "money" as it had; that is to say, its own promises to pay wheneverit could. Some of these promises bore interest and were called _bonds_;some bore no interest, and these constituted the currency of thecountry.
