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 direct their gunB of advice and coun sel against certain conditions and laws that have for twenty-six years ground the Southern larmer in the dust of poverty, Lift off the yoke and let the farmer rise in his majesty.

We have fallen upon hard times, in trnth. Many of the oldest citizens of this section of the South avow that they have never witnessed hard er times and a more tight condition of the financial and commercial world, True it is that many of the best bn siness men in Athens are stinting themselves and their families this year in a way that they have never known before, while the farmers of this whole region are seeing such times as they never hope to see again. It has all come about from natur, al causes perhaps, but is forced to an extreme degree by unnatural causes. The natural causes which lead to the hard struggle for financial free dom are first the iniquitous results of the infamous protective tariff laws, second the contraction of the na tion’s currency, third the result here in Northeast Georgia of railroad consolidation and discrimination and the overproduction of cotton. The nnnatural canse is the un necessary method of the panic stricken money lender. There is really more fright in money circles than there is cause for it.
