Products oY tbe South.
utilization of crops.
Tbe staple productions of tbe South ate by
immense odds tbe most Important items of cur
ft reign trade, and without them our b.lat.ces
would long since have goue into chancery or
would have destroyed our credit. Hence it ia a
national interest that the system of production
should be kept upon a healthy and correct basis.
The growth of cotton should be made as cheap
as possible, and yet tbe limit of consumption
•bould not be passed in tbe cheapening process,
for no commodity can suddenly force tbe demands
of the world to any desirable maximum, and to
pass the actual limit is to sacrifice tbe welfare of
the producer. The theory that low prices stimu
late consumption is altogether fallacious, when
applied to an excessive output of a commodity
which has to be used up each year to make way
for a succeeding crop, and the annual conversion
of which, to practical use, it necessarily regulated
by the money capacity of manufacturers, and tbe
capacity of existing establishments to utilize it.
It has Lnt a limited application to plethora
which ia referable to crop vicissitudes or other
nnususl causes. Tbe cheapening process to be
healthy, must commence at the very bottom,
and must operate by limiting the outlay of money
and labor in order to produce a certain fixed re
sult, thus facilitating production and rendering it
accessible and easy to a greater number of opera
tors, the aggregate product is Increased, and part
pasru can he sold on easier but not less remunera
tive terms.
As this process advances, there will be a parallel
process of utilization steadily but gradually opeu
ing out Into new channels and foims among tbe
consuming classes, and each side will reap ad
vantages without harming the other to achieve
them. The popular theory referred to when ap
plied to cotton is simply a loose way of saying
that, when tbe market is overstocked, it becomes
possible for buyers to dictate terms to holders,
and that when a range baa been touched lower
than the prospects ol the market realty warrant,
buyers will take up the offerings with an eager
ness proportionate to their faith in a return, more
or less prompt, to a fair standard of value. At
such crises purchase, aa well as consumption, will
be large, because there Is a baigaln in It for those
classes; but there is equally as good a bargain
lost to those who are embarked iu producing in
stead of speculating. m
The St. Louis Democrat, in an argument upon
this subject, mentions that in 1871 the cotton
States devoted about 7,175,000 acres of their best
cotton laud to corn, and produced 119,500,000
bushels. We are told that if the same land had
been unltivated In cotton about 3,587,000 bales
wonld have been added to tbe crop. The Demc
crat has reduced his own argument to an absur
dity, for If we add the latter amount to 4,365,000
bales actually produced that year we shall find a
total greater than the world has consumed in any
year, or is sood likely to consume. Hence, al
though labor is scarce in the South, according to
the analogy of the facts, as well as the argument
of our contemporary, there was available a sur
plus of labor more than enough if applied to this
staple to largely overstock the world. It would
seem, therefore, that nothing could have been
wiser thau to retrain irom cultivating that same
corn laud lit cotton, especially when tbe yield of
c0rn—119,500,000 bushels—was worth to the cot
ton growers about $100,000,000. It is mentioned
that one Northern State grows more corn on a
smaller acreage ; hut it might be added that, un
fortunately, it was worth to the producers only
about $25,000,000.
Big cotton crops are not to be regarded as
necessarily the profitable ones. Thu exports of
ISOI-’72 were 1,975,000 bales, valued at $173,000,-
000; the exports of 1870-’7l, nearly twice as
large, realized only $19,000,000 more, the figures
being 3,166,000 bales and $192,000,000 ; the ex
ports of 186‘J-'7O were 900,000 bales less than the
latter, but yielded $9,000,000 more money, the
figures btiug 2,206,000 brles and 201,500,000.

Courier Journal.
Country News Pipers.—The greatest en
emies to success iu conducting a country paper
are the credit system and gratuitous advertising
or “ putting.’’
The dues of the country publisher are necces
earially small. If he credits a couple of dollars
here to A, a couple of dollars to B, and so on
through the alphtbet of subscription, these cred
its will amount to a handsome sum iu the aggre
gate, of which a fearfully large per cent, invari
ably proves to be a total loss.
The publisher who will credit subscriptions,
transient advertising and job work, knowing
that he it compelled to pay cash for his material,
has no right to complain that his business does
not pay, and of all men has less cause to be as
tonished at the necessity that compels the suspen
sion of bis paper.
Another thing to avoid: Gratuitous work for
party or candidates. They havo no right to ex
pect it. Office la Inseparably connected with
salary, and the salary is what nine ont of ten can
didates are after. The candidate has as mnch
right o expect his tailor to keep him in clothing
without charge as to expect bis publisher to de
vote his paper to bis glorification before the peo
ple without pay therefor. Make the politicians
pay the same as other advertisers; andgnever al
low a line of “ puff” to appear in yonr paper
without pay Yonr merchant or grocer does not
expect to supply your family from their stores
without pay, and they have no right to expect you
to advertise for them without remuneration. Sell
ing goods or groceries is their mode of making a
living. Publishing a newspaper is your mode of
making a living. They cannot give their goods
away without loss, aud you cannot give away
space in yonr paper without loss. That whieb
will beggar them will beggar you. That’s the
whole truth of it.
In the days when we used to devote column af
ter column to the business of elevating Tom,
Dick end Harry to office simply because they be
longed to our party, and never dreamed of asking
a cent of pay for our services; so long as we filled
our papers with putts of this, that and the other,
because they were good, clever fellows, and did it
tor nothing, we found it the hardest matter in the
world to get along. But, since we turned ever a
new leaf, and made a real business of publishing
a paper, just as Tom, Dick and Harry made a bus
iness of running for office for the emoluments,and
this, that the other made a business of selling his
goods for the profit, we have prospered. To be
sure we have not as yet accumulated a mammoth
fortune, but then we have built us up a good pay
ing business, secured us a borne we are not
ashamed of, and are able to pay as we go. Under
the old system we scarcely made enough to pay
our board bill aud provide us a change of linen.
As it is, we get fair wages for our lsbor, live de
cently, and have no cause to complain of the world.
Aud so it will be with all our brethren of the
country press if they will do as we are doing—es
chew all gratuitous work and cut the credit sys
tem absolutely.—Jft. Sterling (A Sentinel.

FORSYTH, GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING JUNE 3, 1873.
THE GOLDEN BIDE.
There is many a rest in the road of li.'e
If we woulJ only stop ;o take it;
And many a tone from ihe better land,
If the quernlocs heart would make it!
To the sonny soul that is lull of hope,
And woose beautiful trust ne’er failetb.
The grass ia green and the flowers are bright;
Tnougb ’he winter storm prevailetb.
Better to hope though the clonds hang low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted,
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through,
When the ominous clouds are rifted !
There was never a night without a day,
Or an evening without a morning;
And the darkest hour, as tbe proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many a gem in the path of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown,
Or the miser’s hoarded treasure;
it may be the love of a little child,
Or a mother’s prayer to heaven,
Or only a beggars grate<ui thanks
For a cup ot water given.
p “tter to Weave iu the web of life
A bright and golden filling,
And to do God’s will with a ready heart,
Aud hands that are ready and witling,
Than to snap the delicate, minute threads
Of our curious lives asunder.
And then blame heaven lor tbe tangled ends,
And sit and grieve, and wonder.

Growth of the Roman Catholic Church.—
Father Spaldiug, a Catholic priest of Loolsville,
in a lecture recently gave these sanguine views
of the final supremacy of the Roman Catholic
religion in this country: He admits that formerly
many foreigners were lost to the Church on
coming to this country because there were not a
sufficient nnmber of priests to look after them.
But now there are sixty-four dioceses In the
country, acd go where you will there is a priest,
and the lecturer believes that now the great mass
of Roman Catholic emigrants are saved to the
Church. The number of priests has doubled
within the last ten years, now reaching to 5,000.
One-fifth of the natives—to-wit, 8,000,000' are
Roman Catholics, and they aie making remarkable
conversions. In Baltimore thirteen per cent of
the confirmations are or converts from the other
sects. Ne* England, too, Father Spalding claims,
Is becoming Catholic faster than any other sec
tion. One-third of the population ot Massachu
setts is lri6h, and that third have more children
than the other two-thirds. “In the progress of
time,” exclaims the enraptured priest, “ we will
have a New Ireland in New England; if we
simply hold our own for a few yea s we will be a
most powerful Church. Protestantism is more a
name than a fact at present. New England was
once the great stronghold of Protestantism, but
now it has changed greatly. Protestantism is au
undemocratic religion. A poor man is as out of
place in some of the large churches of New York
as he would be in the palace of a king. A poor
man’s only business in some ot these large Pro
testaut churches of New York, built by million
aires, is to fix the gas pipes, or something like
tbaL” The lecturer claimed that the war waa
brought on by New England clergymen, and that
the result of the war had been greatly to the ad
vantage of the Roman Catholic religion.
