It is estimated that the average
increase of the agricultural wealth
of the United States, is about four
per cent, per annum. The aver
age increase of agricultural wealth
in any Southern Stpte, : Jftpually,
since the wari has not been one
per cent. Indeed, some of the
States have traveled the other
road, and are now lost in the wil
derness of debt; and there is no
more potent cause for this condi
tion of things, than that of buy
ing on a credit the necessaries of
life to enahlo them to grow cot
ton, and this, too, very frequent
ly at a cost that exceeds its mar
ket value. There is an infotua
tion about this cultivation of cot
ton, that amounts to an hallucina
tion. Can there be nothing in
vented to so far dispel it, as to
induce the Southern farmer to
live move within himself and less
at’the mercy of the Shy locks of
the land?—Rural Carolinian,

One Cause of Southern Pov
erty.
First, then, I assign as 011c of
the reasons of our continued pov-
ei ty and want of progress the
foot, that wo do not produce
enough of what we cat or wear,
and buy too much on a credit.—
To present an elaborate argument
in defense of this position, would
require a volume. One or two
practical foots frill suffice to prove
my assertion true, and the answer
that every former will give when
applying the idea to his own case,
will corroliorate these facts.
In 1859, the South produced
oyer live million lmlcs of cotton,
of four hundred pounds each,
which sold at an average of eleven
cents per pound, realizing less
than $250,000,000. . •
In 1869, the cotton crop of the
South was less than three and a
half millions of bales, four hun
dred pounds each, and sold for
ail average of twonty-two cents
per pound, realizing over $300,-
000,000.
The cotton crop of 1873 reached
considerably beyond four millions
of hales, and sold for less than
$275,000,000. And this has Ik on
the history of our crops annually,
in the. past; have we any reason
to anticipate that similar effects
will not follow the same course
in the future? Then if the all
cotton policy,- or a large cotton
crop hns actually tended to im
poverish us as a people, who will
assert that the 6arao policy will
not have similar effects upon indi
viduals?
On paper, it can he easily
proven that cotton, as a crop, will
pay better than any other or all
products. But these figures arc
for more unreliable than the oft
abused labor of the country.—
There is no question hut that in
dividual farmers, having lands pe
culiarly adapted to the growth of
cotton, can net more money grow
ing cotton and buying their bread-
stuffs and proveuder, than by cut
ting a diversity of crops. But it
is an egregious error to think,
that because A, B, or C, can do
so, therefore, every Southern
former can pursue the same course,
anticipating the same result.
Through a series of years, re
gardless of tho price of cotton, (I
reiterate hero, what I have often
asserted licforc in these pages.)
on ninety-nine out of every hun
dred Southern forms, it is cheaper
to grow oats for plough animals
than to haul corn from the near
est depot, because oats will fol
low cotton with no cost hut the
seed and harvesting, both of which
can he paid fur every winter in
the mutton that can lie fatted on
the growing crops; it is cheaper
to raise all the pork the former’s
family can consume annually, than
to buy Imcon at ten cents per
pound; it is cheaper to grow a
pound of wool, up to a certain
number of ponuds, than the same
nil ml >er of ponnds of cotton; and
it is cheaper to grow anything
that can possibly he grown upon
tho form, than to liny it on a
credit.'
Few formers understand prop
erly, what Is meant by * buying on
a credit.’ They know they get
tho article ana pay more for it
than if they paid the cash, hut
they never once calculate the pre
mium or percentage they are pay
ing f«»r tliis privilege of getting on
tinio or ’credit.’ Let mo illus
trate : The average farmer may
raise meat enough to do him till
tho 1st of April. By that time,
he lias to buy; but having no cash,
though good credit, he ' goes to
the store* and huys Imcon at 15 cts.
f#er pound, payable 1st November
following. He learns the cash
price is twelve aud a half cents

to buy on a credit.
The Best Hog.
Mr. S. W. Babbitt, a success
ful breeder, sums up his opinion
on several breeds, in the Farmer's
Union, as follows:
If I were a small farmer or
gardener, residing in the State of
New York, where corn is from
80 to 100 cents per bushel, and
wished to raise ray own pork, and
no more, I would buy a pair of
Suffolk pigs. If I were a cattle
dealer, and bought and fed cattle
as cattle dealers buy and feed in
the "West, I would buy a pair of
Bcrkshires. But if I were a large
farmer, raising large fields of corn
and feeding steers and hogs of my
own raising, for market, I would
liny a pair of C'hcstcr-Whites, or
Poland-Chinas.
I would buy the Berkshires to
run after cattle, because they arc
more sprightly than the other
breeds, and are less liable to get
injured by the cattle. On the
other hand, if I wore a large
farmer, raising hundreds of acres
of com, I would buy a pair of
Chester-White pigs, from which
to raise pigs to consume it
give the Chesters the preference
because they are moro quiet and
cat less than the Polands or Berk
shires, to make the same amount
of pork. They arc strong, and
have good feet and legs, and can
be driven to market. Lest some
may ask the question, 'How is it
that tho Chester eats less than the
Berkshire or Po’.and-China, and
still produces an equal amount of
pork?’ I answer, as I have of
ten auswered before : ’ The Ches
ter-White grinds all his com, and
digests and assimilates all he eats.
The Berkshire and Poland-China
crack their corn, and do not di
gest or assimilate all they eat.’
I am now breeding Chester-
White, Poland-China and Berk
shire hogs, and know by actual
experiment whereof I speak, when
I say the Chester cats the least
and still makes the most pork.
I will remark before proceeding
further, that I have had the Suf
folk hog from stock imported
from England, and while I am
ready to concede that it is a good
breed, and especially so for the
man who only fattens a few for
his own family use, it is not, in
my opinion, the best hog for the
farmers of the West to raise.

No Tax Lawi.ul Exceft for a

ple that a Legislature cannot ]iass a
statute creating a debt unless it has
power to levy a tax in aid of the pi r-
pose for which the debt is created.
The Legislature of Kansas has no
power to tax the citizens of Topeka in
aid of a manufactory; it, therefore,
cannot pass a statute creating a debt
for that purpose. "There can lie no
lawful tax,” nays the decision, "which
is not laid for a public purpose” The
Chicago Tribune thinks this decision
may be made available to invalidate
many of the municipal debts of
Illinois.
New York’s Decline.—No city in
the Northern country has suffered more
thau New York by a decline of South-
erd trade, and now the chief city of the
South, Balt'more, is cutting down her
Western traffic. The Day Book says:
Unless New York strives to build up
the South through a liberal political
policy toward that now abused section,
helping the South out of her political
morass and into the old highway of
oomnKrcial progress, and reaping, as
of old, great profits out of her restored
Southern trade—unless this cky gets
hack her old commercial relations with
the cotton and tobacco sections, some
of us may live to see the great and
brilliant Central Park converted into a
cow pasture, and the palatial mansions
of 5tn avenue used forjbay lofts. Let
the purse-proud nabobs, who wonder
what has paralyzed their real estate,
remember the remedy for its restora
tion—political freedom for the South. ~

etable preparation, made du9(tf from
the native herbs found on the lower
ranges of the Sierra Nevada moun
tains of California, the medicinal
properties of which are extracted
therpfrom without the use of Alcohol.
The question-la almost daily asked,
“What is the cause of the unpar
alleled success of Ymerint Bit
ters T” Our answer is, that they
remove the cause of disease, and
the patient recovers his, health. They
are the great blood purifier and a
life-giving principle, a jerfect Reno
vator and Invigoratot of tho system.
Never before in the history of the world
has a. medicine been eomponnded pos
sessing the remarkable qnalittw of vtv-
soar Bitters in healing tfie sick of
every disease man is heir to. TMcy aro
a gentle Pargativo as well as a-Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and visceraL Organa, in Billons
Diseases.
The properties of Ds. Walk
er’s Vinegar Ritters are Aperient, Dia
phoretic, Carminative, Nutritions, Laxa
tive, Diuretic: Kednti ve, Counter-Irritant,
Sudorific, A'>*"-’’'vp. aud Anti-Bilious.
Grateful Thousands proclaim
Vinegar Bitters the most wonder
ful Iuvigoraut that ever sustained
tho sinking system.
No Person can take these Bit
ters according to directions,- and re
main long unwell, provided their
bonoa are not destroyed by ipincral
poison or other means, and vital or
gans wasted beyond repair.
Bilious, Remittent, and In
termittent Fevers, which aro so
prevalent in the valleys of our great
rivers throughout the United States,
especially thoso of tho Mississippi,
Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennesseo,
Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colo
rado, Brazos, Rio Grande, -Pearl,
Alabama, Mobilo, Savannah,f Ro
anoke, James, and many others,
with their vast tributaries, through
out bur'entire country during tho
Surqmer and Autumn, and remarka
bly so during seasons of unusual
heat and dryness, aro invariably ac
companied by extensivo derange
ments of tbo stomach and liver, and
other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a
powerful influence upon theso vari
ous organs, is essentially necessary.
Thero is no cathartic for the purposo
equal to Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar
Bitters, os thoy will speedily remove
the dark-colored viscid matter with which
the bowel* are loaded, at tho same time
stimulating tho secretions of lira liver,
and generally restoring tho healtly func
tions of tho uigestivo organs.
Fortify the body against dis
ease by purifying all its fluids with
Vinegar Hitters. No epidemic can
tako hold of a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Head
ache, I’aiu in tho Shoulders, Cough*,
Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness, 'Sour
Eructations of tho Stomach. Bad Tasto
in tho Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita
tion of the Heart, Inflammation of the
Lungs, I'ain in the region of tho Kidneys,
and a. hundred other painful symptoms,
aro tho offsprings or Dyspepsia. One bot
tle will provo a better gnnrnnteo of its
merits than a lengthy advertisement.
Scrofula, or King’s Evil, Whito
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled
Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations,
Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial affec
tions, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin.
Soro Eyes, etc. In these, as in ail other
constitutional Diseases, WaLKKU's Vix-
Egar Bitters liavo shown their greatcur-
ativo powers in tho most obstiuato aud
intractable coses.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Kcmit-
teut and Intermittent Fevers. Diseases
of tho Blood, Liver, Kidneys uml Bladder,
theso Bitters have no equal. Such Dis
eases are caused by Vitiated Blood.
* Uechanicnl Diseases.—Persons
engaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumber*, Type-scttor*, Gold-beater* ami
Miners, as they advanca in life, aro sub
ject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard
against this, tako a dose of Walker.-.

worms, Scald-head, Soro Eyes, Erysipe
las, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of tho
Skin, llumors and Diseases of ths Skin of
whatever name or nature, aro literally
dug up and carried out of the system in a
short time by tho ttso of these Bitters.
' Pin, Tape, and other Worms,
lurking in the system of so many thou
sands, are effectually destroyed and re
moved. No system of medicine, no ver
mifuges, no anihelminitics will free the
srstem from worms like these Bitters.
PorFemaleComplaints, in young
•r old, married or single, at the dawn ol
womanhood, or tho turn of life, these ’tyn-
ic Bitters display so decided an influence
that improvement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood
whenever yon find its impurities bursting
’ through tho skin in Pimples, Eruption*,
or Sores pcleanse it when yon find it ob
structed and sluggish in the veins; cleans*
it when it is foul ; vunr feelings will tell
you when. Keep die blood pure, anJ the
health of tbo svsteni will follow.
