Th merchants can aoarcely Bhppiy the detfiAnd. This id some extent is attrib uted to the general failure of the wheat and corn crop last year. But the saddest part of the pidthre is, All the fertilizers, abd l may say throe-fourtha of the sup plies, are bOfigbt.on time, and at prices that Bo farmer oan long hope to survive. The experieriuce of 1873 is still fresh in the minds of many. Will the people not take warning? Is it hot time that the Southern plan ters and far nets abandon the qetniCious Credit system? It is tb4 great drawback ho their prosperity. However hard they labor, favorable the Reason, and good their crops, they find themselves, as a rule, in debt at the end of the year. Why ia this? Failure to raise supplies at home, utilize barnyard mature, and in cotstqnenoe Vhe enormous per cent, they bave to pay for them hh time. A* the system is practiced, tb# planter or farmer gives the merebant a lien on his crop to l;e grown, and mortgage on hia stock and land; and the merchant, bvibE'O’enrrcd, furnish* 1 Ike MoCesHary srtppliea, and at I fi/arvs ranging from 25 fo I*lo per cent, nbove cash prices, lur papers are sign ed, and tbe farmer becomes tbe mer chen’s serv'Dt, hit mcr’gsgc w recorded, and bis credit destroyed, so fur im ol>- tainieg aqytbiqg cine .these coneerei It, and bis merchant charges him jnst what he likei for (he supplies he furnishes. I urge no complaint against the merchants who furnish tbe snpplies; for, as a rale, considering tbe advantage They have aud the risks they take, they dwiii ahortt as lenient with the farmer as the geiiiraiity of -masters with their siaows. In addition to the embarraßinent en. cumbered properly, tbefarm/r promises a goer-cent, ha oauuot reasonably hope to pay. No man can bear 25 per cent. Sec. ator Brown in his recent speeoh on the funding bill said “I think I may venture to say that a irge;pro.patien of the far mers of the United Siates do not make olear more than 3 per cent, upon the cap ital invested.” I once heard a success ful fiaancit r'ssy fhrft no man in the or dinary and legitimate peisuits could loDg ciford to pay 7 per cent, on money. What hope then can the farmer have that promises 25 and 100 per cent. “Now to the remedy. Last year was an exceptionally nnfavorable one for wheat and corn. We may not have snch another in years. Don’t Ist -tha short grain roprf last year disoourage the the planting of plenty Jhis year.
