THEN AN? NOW.
Herr von Bisiuurck has spent all
his life heretofore, says the New
York Herald, in defending the divine
right of kings to do as they pleased.
While feeling himself of more import*
tance to the welfare of Europe than
any number of monarchs, he recog*
nized the fact that he could wield
his influence only by the approval of
some crowned head. He therefore
argued with might and main at Fred-
richruhc and at Berlin that crowned
heads can do no harm.
The whirligig of time has brought
about many changes, however. Bis
marck as the power behind the
throne was one kind of man, and
Bismarck as a member of the Reich
stag, with a constituency behind him,
is a wholly different being. The two
cannot be recognized as the same
person. During the coming winter
he will defend parliaments and the
rights of the people with the same
vigor with which he once chastised
both. The Emperor’s smile has been
changed to a frown and Bismarck’s
opinions have veered with the wind,
However, he will probably make
things very interesting.
COTTON.
The December report of the De
partment of Agriculture repeats the
complaint of unremunerative prices
paid for cotton. Nor is there any
doubt, says the Courier-Journal,that
the prospect of an improvement is
not at present good. If the expres
sion may be used, nature has been
too kind in the South, and the enor
mous amount of cotton raised has
brought in less money than smaller
crops would have done.
Mr. Alfred B. Shepperson. for ma
ny years Secretary of the New York
Cotton Exchange, issues annually a
very valuable little book called Cot
ton Facts, and the 1891 number, just
out, contains some valuable statisti
cal information. Mr. Shepperson es
timates the 1890 crop at 8,732,404
bales, exclusive of the cotton left in
the hands of farmers at the end of
the year, and the 1891 yield
8,040,000 bales, including that left
over from 1890. Concerning the 1890
figures there is but little difference,
as the data are available for every
body, but with regard to 1891, which
is still partly a question of futurity,
the burden of opinion is against Mr.
Shepperson. Nearly all authorities
choose higher totals, and the major
ity of them incline to an estimate of
8,300,000 baies, which is borne out
by the crop movement thus far this
season.
A glance at these figures is suffi •
cient to show why the cotton market
is heavy and apathetic. The yield
of the South during 1890 and 1891
reaches a total of about 17000,OOOj
bales, or an average of 8,500,000
bales. This, including the supplies
from other sources, is more cotton
than the world needs, and buyers
have had a * great advantage over
growers. The remarkable expansion
of the Southern crop is revealed by
the fact that while the average for
the last two years was 8,500,000
bales, for the fi*»e years preceding it
was only 6,900,000 bales, with a de
creasing aveiage still further back.
Of course it is not likely that these
great totals will be repeated again
soon. The enormous crops of 1890
and 1891 were largely the result of
exceptional weather, such as cannot
ordinarily be expected more than
once in four or five years. Very low
prices anu the lack of remuneration
attendant will also cause a reduction
of acreage. With a smaller yield
prices which are dependent upon
supply and demand are likely to re
turn to the old standard.
We are indebted to Mr.] Sbepper-
son’s little book for interesting facts
concerning cotton culture in Central
Asia, and the consumption of Egyp
tian and Peruvian cotton in the Uni
ted States. Its culture has expanded
in a wonderful manner as the impor
tations Worn it into Europe have
risen steadily from 23,000 bales in
1866 to 270,000 bales in 1891. The
industry has been developed there by
Americans, American methods have
been adopted, and American implea
ments have been imported.
The importation of Peruvian and
ptian cottons has increased, but
rioan planters need feel no ap
an on that score, as both are
different in quality from
in cotton and are used in
inutue^as for which the latter i
not avails
-
farming on paper.
“Easily said, but hard to do.”
That is what the average farmer
remarks when ha reads an article on
“ how to make farming pay,” or an
editorial leader on the subject of
raising cotton at a profit.
The truth of the whole business is
that the farmer is given more advice
than any other person on earth. He is
pretty much in the condition of the
sick man who counsels with his
friends concerning what he should
do to be Cured. Each friend has a
different remedy to propose, and if
the sick man took every bit oi medi°
cine offered him he would be dead in
less than thirty minutes.
Of course the farmer reads what
the press says to him, and if he notes
anything that would benefit him, he
takes the advice and profits by it*
but there is one thing that people
who criticise the farmer should learn
at once,and that is that there is a great
difference between farming on paper
*nd farming on land, and between
planting crops under editorial head
lines and planting crops under the
old red hills of Georgia.
The Banner is the friend of the
farmers and will seize every opportu
nity to advise with them, when we
believe it to be to their interests, but
we do not agree with those who write
column articles trying to prove that
it is entirely the farmer’s fault that
he is now in such a s.raitened con
dition.
There is a great cry among some
people that the farmers should prac
tice economy at home, and that they
would then be better off.
Economy ! The farmers have
economized until their homes are
bare of furniture, their wives and
children thinly clad ; their entire
family wanting for many of the com
forts of life. Let those who advise
the farmer to economize investigate
a little and see if their, advice hasn’t
already been taken in its fullest
sense.
Of course it is good advice, but
coming as it does when the farmer
has economized almost to starvation
it is hollow mockery.
Others advise the farmer to raise
less cotton. We agree with them
and offer him the same advice. It is
a question that must be answered
and that soon. But don’t rail at the
farmer because he doesn’t do this
Remember that he is in debt and
that cotton is the only crop that
commands money in this section ot
the country. He must have money
and he plants cotton.
To get down to the bottom of the
whole affair, let the press of Georgia

laws that have for twenty-six years
