THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1873.
To the Press.
The Committee appointed at the
last meeting of the Press Association
to take all necessary steps for the
foiinaiion of a National Press Asso
ciation, have issued a call for a Con
ven'ion oi journalists throughout
ti e union, to assemble at Si. Louis,
Mo., on WednesJay the 26ih of No
v nub r. 1873, to organize a Nation*
si Association,
Tlw . loaßcial Situation.
The leport from all quarters is
encouraging, North, South, East
and West, An occasional suspen
sion reported. This is simplv the
death of the wounded, whose de
cease ho; '•o«n procrisiinaied.
In a New York letter we find the
following the -y of the crush :
“Almost every man has a partic
ular theory to account for the crash.
The real cause, however, is discuss
ed only by a few, because only a
few understand it. The root of all
is to be found in the mischievous
system on which business is ron
du 'ted by m< st of the down town
bmks. 1 bad occasion to look into
this system about a year ago, aud I
s tid to several persons then that it
would some day cause serious troub-«
le. It >8 the principle of certifica
ti n for b okers that lies at the bot
tom. Is operation may be briefly
explained. In the first place, it is a
rule in Wall street that all transac
tions in stocks shall be settled before
a quarer past two each day ; that
is, all deliveiies and payments must
be male by that time. Well, a
broker, say, has a balance of $20,-
000 in b iuk and he must pay SIOO,-
000.
It is not possible for him to get
this money, but by an arrangement
wiih his bank he can get checks for
the whole amount certified. His
honor is pledged to make his ac
count good, by depositing either
currency, checks or security (the
la'ter chiefly stocks] by three o’clock
Ttiis isthe only pioteclion the bank
has, and, as any person may see,
it is a very flimsy one. Every day
during an active season brokers give
checks for three to five times the
amount of their deposits, and these
checks are. certified just as though
money were on hand to meet them.
Os course such a system must some
day end with a crash. The crash
has come, and it is now high time
to teforrn the abuse that led to it.
Our Financial Troubles.
Read the following which we take
from the Augusta Constitutionalist
of the 3rd inst. The scheme set
forth bv “Countrymanj” we think
practicab'e and simple, and only
needs co-operation to meet with sue
cess. The South lias a magnificent
change for redemption, by pursuing
the course laid down by the writer.
The question is, will she avail her
self of this means of salvation, or
will she stay, like the sluggard in
the sty prepared and thrust upon
her by Northern rapacity, greed,
dominance and trickery t Her fate
is in her own hands.
What is the. Remedy of the Present
Financial Crisis and How can it
be Most Efficiently Applied?
To tub Editor of the CONSTI
TUTIONALIST ; (
Siu: The question put at the
head of this article is now the ab
S'U'biug topic of thought nnd discus
sion th.oughout the land, in the
oruntry a* well as in the city, in the
omn'rv districts as well as in tl»»
great commercml centre*. Its cor
rect solution involves the welfare of
m I ions, It is a question affecting
the interests -f all cla-ses, and, while
your columns are almost daily filled
with the vt ws given by the finan
c'd men of t*e cities North ns well
ns South, w ill you plea-e allow a
q iet countryman to address a few
words to the public upon it through
Ihe medium of your vaiuab’e p iper.
In time.* of trouble and danger, it is
the duty "f every one ti make
k own whatever he miy think will
contribute to the public weal,
wnetber what he says be heeded or
not. The w >rds of true wisdom are
most frequently j>erin.tied to go un
heeded ; but the consciousness of
this faet should never restrain their
utterance.
Allow one, then, tyho, (fc'ioueh
entirely disconnected front all bank
ing and mercantile basin s-) fools
perfectly that fee water
stands thi* fIuMW n«• b* ttortikait
the authors of any of the various
acbcmM of tefcf he faai: its-st, mos
respectfully to lint the real
yamedy does not le m Ms fe
lt Beer f .ssraace of L«dt p iper,
certificates of deposit, or wbat not:
nor in any resolutions of confidence
in the solvency of banks passed ever
so unanimously sad bona fids by
any member of city and country
meetings.
This crash is like all of its prede
cessors of a similar character, It is
a crash of credit. The foundations
on which faith in general eredit res
ted have given away. The bottom
of the whole thing has fallen out.
This is the truth of the real situa
tion.
What is the remedy for all this ?
Coin or its equivalent.
Have we the coin t No. Have
we its equivalent ? Yet, we have
that which will command it. It is
Cotton. If this great element of
commercial power be now properly
wielded, it will be more efficient in
remedying present embarrassments,
especially in the Southern Stales,
than coin itself. How can this be
done f What is the modtts operan
ds
Divers modes could be easily
named, but one only will now be
suggested, because it is one that can
be worked without complication and
according to the common senae oi
the land.
Let the people everywhere, in
stead of, by tacit consent, agreeing
to take such currency as may soon
find a circulation, by Such common
consent adopt cotton as the basis of
values in al\ of their dealings and so
adopt it upon the basis of the value
of cotton in go'd.
The telegraph informs us daily
what the value of cotton is in Eng
land on a gold basts. Let, there
fore, all of our interior, as well as
city merchants take cotton on its
gold value in payment of all debts.
The gold, the coin will soon be here
for it. The world must and v ill
have it.
In this way the crop will soon be
in motion. The interior merchants
will have all their provision bills and
liens speedily paid in something bet
ter greenbacks, dealers in terulizers
and trades people of every class.
The present cotton crop ought to
command 18 cents in coin, and will
if there should be a cordial co-oper
ation upon this subject between the
producers of this ataple and the
merchant*, as there ought to be.
It is likely to turn out to be a
great mistake to suppose that the
present cotton crop Jvill far exceed
3,500,000 bales. It is the opinion
of the writer of this that it will be a
much shorter crop than that of last
year. But, be that as it may be as
sumed that the present crop will
yield at least $300,000,000 in coin
to the producers, if this financial
question be prudently adjji*ted be
tween or by the parties most direct
ly interested in it in the Southern
States.
Now is the time for a return to a
specie bads, at least in the South.
All that is wanting to effect this
grand result is co-operation in the
simplest form on the line of policy
suggested. It involves the invoca
tion of no stretch of confidence in
any man’s credit or ability to pay.
It involves nothing but for every
creditor of whatever character to
take from his debtor what he knows
is equivalent to coin and for which
in sixty days he can get the gold.
One word more. Those' mer
chants who are now offering to take
cotton in payment of debts due them
at 13 and 15 cents may, perhaps,
even i( they succeed in making many
settlements on this basis, find in the
end that they have not only opprvs
see good customers but injured
themselves, especially if their object
is to sell tl<e cotton thus taken for
such paper currency as, under pres
ent schemes, we are likely to have.
For cotton will command gold.
There are those in the country who
will take nothing but gold for what
they hold of the staple. The paper
currency will become depreciated .
Who will venture to say that green
backs will not he 50 per cent dis
count in sixty days, especially if the
cotton movement is begun as it ought
to be u; o t a gold basis ?
Countryman.
A Hopeful View.— The Colum
bus Enquirer takes a hopeful view
of the situatio i at the S >uth, as fol
low* :
True the cotton crop is not so
large as was expected, but there
will Ire just as much paid tor the
present crop as if there ha l been a
tiiir I more. Owing to the good
sense of our farmers there is rtenr y
enough bread and meat raised at
home to carry them through the
winter. Our merchants have laid
in new stocks of good*, which must
be paid for it i* true, bul they can
not b f * paid sot till money comes
down to buy cotton, and thus ena
bles the planter to pay his mer
chant, and the merchant the Njw
York wholesale dealer. Our facto
ries do not dream of sujpendinj fir
they have the cotton at their dotfn,
and they are amply able to meet
their payment*. Our banks ami
we speak of the whole South, are in
■ b> tier Htanc ul condition than in-
StitntiertS on tiui Mine basis North.
Now all that is w» .terl is patience
and forbearan e aud inside of tbO
mouth w_- ewer on tir-daf* abe
will brighten, and ihe Condition of
the South will be better and h- alth
ier than it has been since the war..
Our petople are profiting by the bit
ter experience of the past, and the
lesson wilt be shown, it is our a firm
belief, in an unprecedented prosper
ity during the next decade. At
present we can hold on to the cot
ton and live till the mills of New and
Old England come, if need be, with
gold in their hands to pay us, not
tbeir price, not the present
price, but one that will amply re
ward the tillers of the soil, and add
wealth to the whole South.
We have seen much darker days,
but never brighter prospects. Let
us take heart, and manfully bear the
present for the future that is in
store. •
A Tragedy Indeed. —One of the
most heartrending stories of the year
comes from Fond dn Lac A youDg
lady was passing through a piece of
ground adjoining a farm house with
her lover when the girl was attacked
by a savage dog. Before her escort
could protect her the dog bad seized
her by the breast and torn the breast
from her body. When the young
man saw the dog shaking a portion
of the body of his intended he faint
ed away. The young lady, however
did not faint. ' She was so mortified
that she seized a fence rail and went
for that dog, and she pounded him
until he laid stul. When her lover
recovered the young woman was
trying to hideoneofthe wire screens
that people put over plates to keep
the flies off. It seems that the dog
didn’t draw blood, owing to the
fashions at Fond du Lac, which is
needless to describe. Howevet,
there is great excitement at Fond du
Lac and the young man has broken
off his engigement nod has bought
the dog—what there is left of him,
and he is going to set him again.—
LaCrosse Democrat.
How a wife was swapped for a
horse is thu3 told by the San Fran
cisco Chronicle:
Comstock, the man who took all
the prestige of the discover that
bears his name, had lo aof money,
houses and lands, and he set out to
find a loving companion to share his
worldly goods with him. A Mr.
Car+er, living near Comstock’s
camp, wa3 poor, but he was possess
ed ol a young wife, and upon the
ground that a fair exchange was no
rubbery bey made a trade. Com
stock gave a horse valued at $225
and $75 in money, making S3OO, for
the wife; and to make the matter
still more binding, Comstock gave
Carter a bill of sale of the horse and
Corter gave Comstock a similar
document with the usual guarantee .
that the animal was sound, kind aft i
true, and warranted not to kick in y
the earness. But the novelty ol a
transaction so revolting to a woman
of any spirit soon wore away, and
Comstock’s wife and money left him
about the same time. Soon after
she left him Comstock told the wri
ter that he could compel her to live
with him if he chose, and in proof
produced his bill of sale.
A Prescription for the Crlss
The Griffin News gives the follow
ing as the advice of Hon. M. Tufn
lin, a prominent planter, legislator
and merchant, well known in the
State;
In reply to the question,* “What
plan do you suggest in the present
emergency, for the protection of
boih the merchant and planter ?” he
said:
Let the farmers gft out their cot
ton, pile it up at home, and call on
the merchants who have rendered
them assistance during the year, and
inform them that the cotton cost
them at least twenty cents per
p- und; that at that price they could
and would settle off"their debt-; but
ale.-s price was ruin to them, as
their cotton would pay but a little
over one hall that they owed and
the merchants would still have
claims sufficient against the farming
community to break them [the mer
chant*). If cotton sold for less than
20 i cuts; both parlies were btoke.
Tint if onr merchants were com
pelled by >he produce Bto take the
cotton at 20 cents, they could inform
their Northern cretliiors that it was
subject to their order a’ that price,
and that price only. It they would
not consent to take it at those fia
ures we couid keep it li«re, and in
a very shotl lime thev*would be
glad to receive it. our burners
pr ce th< ir cotton at 20 cents—tel!
their creditors it is peiog held for
them at that price—hold it for their
creditor*, an<i them only— be honest
and faithful to the prom se that they
shall have it, and the day is on s.
if the cotton ra sers of the South will
holdout. The Southern merchants
an I planters must have concert of
ac ion to make this plan a success,
and it the iwr bants were satisfied
that the farmers were acting in
g'vul fa th, and holding their cotton
for the payment of these claims;
they would not press the farmers to
sell their cotton that will prove
tuitions to both parties.
