Tlie onllook is much hrigliter
for g- re ul pn s >erity now than it
has been in several months. Our
roit’rrn financial institutions
■ ent to work and prepared a wav
4o moxe tlie cottm rop i.i spite of
the fact that New York and other
places had locked up their money
Tnd refused to iet us have it. See
ing that we were independent and
.ere not obliged to have their
juoney, they have turned it loose
frithrut. premium and that with
out our asking and are now pre
paring to ship all the money need-
Jd to move the cotton crop. To
gether with this the markets have
xpennd up with a strong (one and
xn upward tendency and the plan
ters are realizing more than they
expected when they planted tlie
■crop. Money is circulating freely
and everybody feels better.
The mills of all kinds that have
. been shut down for several weeks
have opened in full blast and given
employment to the thousands that
;have bef“n idle. These mills claim-
<cd to shut down on account of a
■surplus of manufactured products
that they could not sell. This is
•denied by the wholesale men who
say that the mills cannot fun.idi
them goods to supply tlie demand.
These mills now have large orders
.on hand and there is no danger of
their shutting down again soon.
The people, consequently, feel,
better, turn loose their money
freely and having plenty to eat in
the cribs and smoke-houses, are
letting the cry of hard times go
.and the recently prevailing uneas
iness is being dissipated.
It’s time to feel good after cry
ing hard times so long.

Tt is strange how the world wags
from one extreme to another. Take
for instance the subject of reading
A few years ago the mass of the
■people would rend n (thing of a
political or national nature. They
took their homo paper for the so-
•ciul gossip and county news an 1
-possibly a city weekly to keep up
•xvith general topics. They believ
ed in the old maxim that, “The
Lord helps those who help them
selves” and they studied to make
their individual business successes.
The panic came. They waked up
to tlie fact that times were ‘-hard”
Would be leaders heralded tveiy-
xvhere that tlie whole trouble was
tn the government and began to is
sue political newspapers to pro
pagate their ideas. Many of the
people willing tocatcli at an} tiling
that promised help eagerly sought
after and read these papers.
And now after such reading for
two or three years they know more
(or honestly be.i ive they do) about
governmental alfairs than Cleve
land, Gordon or Crisp. Many of
them claim to be too poor to sub-
■scribc for their home paper and
keep posted on local alfairs but
they always have a dollar to pay
for the paper after their political
views and read them avariciously,
committing much that pleases
them to memory and repeat the
statements of their political lead
ers as the sacred truth.
Well, this is a free country and
every man has a perfect'Tight to

see that our people are someivhat

and many seeds of discord and dis
content are sown that are only
evil in their tendency.
Let our people be careful what
they read, for it is here a little and
there a little that sum up the great
whole that make up ourhappincss

such doctrines as will make us
look at our neighbors with suspi

A CARD.
I attended the inass meeting
held at the court house on the 25th
ult. and was requested to state the
object of the meeting and deliver
an address on the. situation. I
stated that I was not prepared to
deliver a public address.
Tin o’.i xirman had informed me
that I would be on the committee
to prepare a report to the body,
and I thought I could do more
good in the committee room than
before the audience, as there would
be less formality and I would have
a better oppportunity to group
facts than in a public address
without preparation, especially as
J had never attempted a public ad
dress.
I did not state that the object oT
the meeting was to devise means
of holding our cotton crop I have
never withheld my crop nor the
proceeds thereof from my credit
ors nor encouraged others to do so.
I heard nothing that was said ia
tlie committee room and stated so
to them, but stated my views. I
rcgarctod the committeemen as
gentlemen and did not thihk that
they xvould take such an advan
tage of my infirmity, and did not
know that there was one among
them opposed to tlie farmers unit
ing to withstand thejMuahinption
with which we have to contend; S a tis{ieil to
?< t- a fair price
with his prey, they wish to be
numb us and press us for food
We did not create the wretched
state of finance, but, like the old
lady who prayed for bread, we will
thank *he Lord for it though the
devil brings.
For twenty years England and
her co-workers have blocked civil
ization in their efforts to strangle
rival industries. No power has
ever succeeded that fought civil
ization and never will.' God rules
tlie uniyerse and will ever cause
the wrath of man to praise Him.
The manipulators of finance (not
the dispensers, for there are many
good men in the banks) are the
most inhuman monsters that have
ever lived on earth. Their pira
cies encompass the globe. They
have caused more deaths, more
suffering and have robbed their
victims of more wealth than all
tlie pirates that hax-e infested our
casts since America was discov
ered. They make a toy of public
and private wealth. The enhanced
value of gold is hut another name
for the depreciation of labor.
While all of this is true, and
much more might be said, if xve
will but combine we are in the
most favorable position of any
people that have ever lived and
can secure all that it is possible
for man to procure until the lion
and ihe lamb lie down togther and
sickness and deatli are banished
from the land.
But individuals cannot cope
wi h the vast combinations xvitli
which we have to deal. We fur
nish Europe with three-fourths of
her cotton. By giving 63 cents
per pound for cotton during our
war she succeeded in increasing
her supplies from other countries
1,390,000 bales, and if she could do
as well to-day it would n it last
her spindles 49 days. This, with
what she now gets, would run her
spindles about one third of the
year, anil without our cotton
gambling carried on in the regular
gambling resorts, but people of
high standing and respectability
gamble. They may not put dowu
the money, but they set the exam
ple f< r others in playing for prizes
and awards. Hi these progressive
euchre games these persons play
for fine pictures or gold headed
canes. Examples are set that are
vi ilations of the law and it is ju6t
as demoralizing as common gam
bling. The conviction of one man
in nhc higher cluss is better, as an
example, thau the conviction of
only ordinary people for common
gambling.

We, Egypt- and the East Indies
have not decreased our crop sippe
tlie fall in price, while other
countries have dropped from 917,
000 to 190,000
20 cents seems to be the low.-st
price that will stimulate produc
tion, and it is plain to any one
that will examine the matter that
xve can get anything under that
we will work for without materi
ally reducing our crop after the
cotton reserve that has been held
since 1867 has been exhausted,
which is about the same to-day as
it was then. The holders of t]ie
reserve in 1S67 had_p*td $290,817,
640 fi>r_U,-whrctfTs about $100,000,
tK)U more than xve are likely to get
for our crop unless we try to pro
tect ourselves.
We have received $2,287,927,979
less for the cotton that we have
exported in the last ten.years than
it could have been procured for in
other countries if they could have
made it. No other country stands
such a strain. It is not surpris
ing that we are poor and that the
balance of trade is against us.
While the buyer says ’tis naugl t
the seller generally tries to get all
that he canTor his merchandise.
Our labor is not properly clothed
nor fed even with the coarsest
gooxls, and receive less attention
in sickness than a man gives his
horse.
Our condition is proof that we
do not get anything like enougn
for our cotton. It would not hurt
the consumer to pay us enough to
enable us to live and they ought
to be forced to do it.
The men who try to show that
we can make cotton cheap do not
count fair. It is only from statis
tics that we can arrive at the av
erage cost of cotton. None of
them give the laborer a living or
count land at a fair price. They
are emissaries of the consumer or
very giddy and seek notoriety,
Cotton will never sell for its
wortli when there is enough o .1
cotton at the beginning of the
year to last the spindles 3 months
Noxv if we will all unite and will
show from statistics what wo ought
to have for our cotton we can in
duce capitalists to take it and ad
vance us 7 cents per pound and
hold it until it brings a fair price
and divide tlie profits xvith us, and
this would give us over 10 cents
for cotton this season and in fu
ture anything for it that we want.
We can give a bonus of $100,
000,000 if necessary to get it.
The average production of cot
ton for the last ten years was
176.36-100 and it is probable that
we will not need more than 7.000,
000 bales of cotton than xve will
have another year. Whatever the
amount may b', xvhich can be
easily ascertained, divided by the
average production will give us
the number of acres that we ought
to plant ano hr x*a , and it is
