JUDGE EE WIN FOR CONGRESS.
The democracy of the Ninth Biss
trict most prepare for a hot fight this
fall. The independents,or liberals,are
going to have the votes of the repub
licans, and the support of the federal
government. The democrats will
have to conduct the campaign in the
most vigorous manner, and will have
to put forward their beet man aa their
candidate. More depends upon \ the
candidate than npon any one thijg.
He onght to be a man fresh from
people, untainted with chicanery,
unconnected with nng-work in
previous campaign. Such a man is
gentleman whom we have named
the caption of this article.
A jurist ot unquestioned ability ai
integrity, Alexander S. Erwin com
mands the respect alike of friends and
opponents. A soldier in the late war,
he showed his devotion to the south
and his love of liberty by shedding
his blood in their defense. Since the
war he has followed peaceful voca
tions, and in all things has demeaned
himself as became a patriotic citizen,
His repntation is tree from reproach,
and his record, public and private, is
absolutely unimpeachable.
Such a man’the democracy of the
Ninth district needs and must have.
Without any implied disparagement
of other eminent gentlemen whose
names may be mentioned in the con
nection, the Banner is decidedly in
favor of Judge Erwin. He has said
that he does not desire the notuina
tion. He doubtless finds bis present
position on the bench more congenial
to his taste; and it certainly carries
with it as much honor, responsibility
and opportunity for doing good, as
that of representative in congress.
But while we have regard for his
preference, and respect his modesty,
we feel it to be our right, as a public
journalist, to call attention to his
merits and to express onr pre<Vi mice
for him for congress. If .i..dilion to
what we have said, » e firmly believe
he will make the best race of any
man in the district.
It is not out of place to say here,
that we have recently had occasion
to talk with a number ot intelligent
gentlemen ontside of the district, and
it is noteworthy how generally the
opinion was expressed that Jndge Er
win is the best man to make the race.
It is gratifying to ns to know that the
opinion of ao many coincided with

*! Salt Lake Tribune.
A few days before l the legislature
met, a large cnte-looking, sandy.hair*
ed man reached Zion and put up at
the Walker house. He took spa-
cions parlors, had plenty of money,
and his mission was a mystery. Yes.
terday a Tribune man, thinking there
might be tood for an interview in the
stranger, sent in his card. He was
asked up, and on reaching the room
found the man considerably absorbed
in doing nothing. -
‘Might I ask you sir,’ said the re-
porter, ‘what y6ur business is in the
city?’
*Of course, of coarse, you may; but
to tell the truth I will hardly he able
to answer you. I came here ou some
mighty big business, but by Jove, I
find I haven’t anything here specially
o do. You see, continued the man.
I’m a lobbyist by profesrion, or what
hey call in the west a ‘promoter.’ I
ttend the legislative sessions, and
tive rhe members advice and assist
ance relative to their duties. You
tee, now men don’t always know
what to do, and they lean on me for
advice,’ and here the man gave a
knowing chuckle.
‘Can’t you practice your profession
here?’ aaked the reporter innocently.
‘No opening,’ responded the lobby,
ist. ‘You sen, I had rather light
pickings lately around the California
and Nevada legislatures, and thought,
ns business was a little dull, I might
run over and make a little rattle, but
I couldn’t find anybody that knew
the ropes. Now in Nevada there
was some show for a man to make a
little. Business was quite brisk Iasi
year, buying members for 8200
apiece and selling them for $1,000.
Many a time I would know just how
a man was going to vote, and sell his
vote to some big company tor $1,000.
I’ve sold manv a man and delivered
the goods, and he never know how
much he went for. Never told ’ :m,

down and the contingent. Yon can
get your paws on the right committee
and swing the legislature clear over

understand it. Too stupid. I could
slam a big land steal through here in
a week it 1 didn’t have to spend two
weeks getting my plan into each
member’s head. In California you

Atlanta Post-Appeal.
Many inquire* have been directed
to the Department of Agriculture in
this city concerning the results of the
ensilage experiments at the recent
Cotton Exposition. 'The Post-ap
peal this morning asked Commissioner
.Senderson for the facts.
‘Yon may say that we made the ex
periment with a well constructed silo
and a miscellaneous supply of green
forage. The amount put into the
bins was equal to fifty tons. The ex«
periment was looked upon with dis
trust, through fear that fermentation
wonld be too rapid in jthis climate.
The result was not such as to justify
the doubts. After six weeks mold
was only a few inches thick c& the
surface, and alter that period did not
ipereas* perceptibly. The ensilage
was excellent in quafity and proved
so in results to the cattle fed with it.’
•Then you consider the experiment
was a success ?’
‘In every way, and demonstrates
beyond question that ensilage prop
erly conducted by our farmers will fill
their every want in tde way of winter
forage. I unhesitatingly recommend
to the farmers and stockmen of Georv
giathe prompt and general use af
forage so prepared, It will make
better working stock and better beef
—the latter a consummationVlevoutly
to be wished tor.’
Eosilage is the new system of pre
serving green forage of all kinds ja
pits, properly constructed. The pits
are called silos, and the forage is kept
in them nnder pressure. The system
preserves all the original nutriment
oft he forage, and ensilage is there-
tore coming into favor wherever tried.

The regular democrats may as well
prepare for a vigorous campaign this
summer and fall. Dr. Felton and bis
movement cannot be laughed down
or sneered down. It is not wise to
underestimate the strength of the op
position.
The people ot Georgia should be
especially careful whom they send to
the legislatote this year; and especial
ly careful as to the state house offi
cers whom they will elect. Georgia
ia rich, and there are men who are
hungry for spoils.

It looks like the democrats are
preparing to repeat the folly of 1872,
by nominating Blaine.or by accepting
him as the nominee of a ‘lilieral’ par
ty. Such a course will absolve all
democrats from their allegiance, and
the party will go to pieces by a sort
of gigantic centrifugal explorion.

The Credit Sjstem.
:.ew York Time*.
The lailure ot so many small coun
try merchants demonstrates one fact
which ought to be useful and instruc
tive to the south. It proves that
even with the extortionate rates of
interest charged t'*e southern credit
system is not a safe one tor the mer
chant. The average advance on cash
prices charged by the merchants who
furnish supplies on security of the
crop is in Georgia about 65 per cent.,
and in other states not much less.
This most usurious charge, of course,
keeps the planter always in debt to
the merchant. Something more prof
itable than cotton at ten cents a
pound is required to enable him to
pay this tax and make both ends
meet. But it seems at even 65 per
cent, the merchants take too grea at
risk. The profits of trade under this
system must he far less solid than
they-seem or the southern merchants
would not be seriously embarrassed
by a single short crop. The farmers
are rapidly learning that the buying
of supplies on credit at from 50 to 75
per cent, interest is ane Ot the things,
and the chief one, which keeps them
always poor and prevents their tising
from the condition of tenants to that
of land-owners. The merchants and
factors will learn from their present
troubles that the credit system has its
dangers for them also—something few

When the power given to the Unit
ed States by the cotton crop is fairly
estimated, ao intelligent person will
deny to that product an imperial
rank. When southern industries
were paralyzed by the civil war and
southern ports were under a block
ade, England sought to make herself
independent of ^fmerican cotton
fields by the developement ot cotton
culture in India, but the attempt was
not successful, and with most other
nations of the earth England is com
pelled to bow her proud head and
make obeisance to the great product
of the south. Statistics published by
the department of state indicate that
four-filths ot the cotton crop of the
world is produced by tho United
States. It is estimated that about
3,500,000,000 pounds of raw cotton
are produced annually, as follows:

The cotton acreage in India has di
minished rather than increased, and
the fact that eighty pounds per acre
is the average Indian yield, while 200
pounds is the average in our southern
states, explains why England had
to abandon the project of of growing
enough cotton in Iudia to make her
self independent of the United States.
No reason appears for doubting that
the United Slates will continue to
supply the world with the greater part
of its cotton. But the exhibit we are
able to make as a manufacturing
country is by no means satisfactory.
It is believed that Americans use an
average ot forty yards of cotton each
annually, the a'verage for; Europeans
being twenty-seven yards. It is es
timated that the mills of the United
States produce a little more than the
2,000,000,000" yards required for
borne consumtion, although the value
of our exports of manufactured cotton
during the fiscal year 1880 was but
$9,981,000 to $29,929,000 imported.
The amount exporied in 1881 was val
ued at $13,571,287. But unless there
is a prodigious developement of our
manufactures, our exports of man
ufactured cotton will long be insig
nificant. How great a misfortune it
is that we do not manufacture tnore
extensively may bo understood from
the (act that the amount paid us by
foreign nations for cotton would be
doubled were we to manufacture all
we export. The rank of the natiops
as manufacturers ot cotton has been
estimated by an English authority, as
follows, the amounts being the value
of the manufactured product:
Great Britain $561,170,000

thereby securing about double _ the
price for the product which it brings
in the natural state. How vast the
opportunity is for this country to ex

is not difficult by a few simple com

and it is possible for this country to
control the king. The knowledge
that we grow four-fifths of the world’s
cotton, but permit England to be su

CORN YS COTTON.
A writer in the Southern Fanners’
Monthly, says: ‘In my vicinity plan,
lew are paying one dollav a bushel- for
corn on a credit, payable out of the
next fall crop. If cotton should sell «
for7 cents net, it will require 14 2-7
pounds of cotton to pay lor one bush
el of corn. It a man can exchange
bis 2,000 bushels of cotton at these
figures he will get 14,570 pounds of
cotton for his crop of corn, or abnnt
36 bales of cotton up north to pay for
the corn that one man can make. Is
there any wonder that wo are as poor
as a church mouse ? And Bill Arp
is about right when he saye: ‘I am
afeered we are a nation of fools.
There has long been an impression up
north, and even in the south, - that
we cannot raise stock to profit; that
wo have no grass; can’t leed stock;
that the flies are too had; that we
have too many diseases; while the
facti8, we have tnore and better
grasses than the north has. We ran
raise bogs, cattle, sheep, mules, and
horses for one-half the cost that it re
quires up north. And to fatten the
stock for market.it can be done with
peas even on the poor land of Geor
gia for less money than it can he done
in the north; and, while we arc rais
ing stock, we are improving our lands
instead of wearing them cut. I am
well aware that there is a strang fas
cination in planting cotton. We see
in the spring that $40 a bale, and tea
bales of cotton to the hand, but from
some cause we can’t see the expense
attending the making ot the crop.
The czar will be crowned in July,
and the first preparation for his cor

from getting within a halt mile of the
procession. He will march in a sort
of covered way, with entrenchments
on either side ef the road, as well ns
barriers and lines of troops. The
ditthes will intercept mines and tho
fortifications and troops will keep off
sharpshooters. The czar will wear
a chilled steel ball-proof overcoat,and
will ride in an iron-clad chariot. With
these precantions he will enu-r the
sacred Moscow, and will receive the
homage of his beloved subjects at a
very long range.
