When yon sp »ak of tho price of
cotton in norm:)! limes you speak
of the price of mt rchantable meat.
The planters use-1 t<» sav m
times there was no profit in raising
cotton unless von o’ swap a
pound of eotti ii lor a pound oi
meat. In other words the e-ist
making cotton was pound up with
and depended upon the cost ol
provisions.
In those days a man's wealth
was measured bv the acres he
owned and the numbers of plows
lie tan, and hi i in com • w s
imasijhed by the number of bih
of cotton la* made. Mmiev cut
little figure then as it was 11 tie
used, Tne planter tunic ( h-s
cotton over to the faotorand gave
drafts against it to pay his bills.
Settlements were had once a year.
II there remained a surplus lie ir.
v stnl it in the purchase ot more
I nd, giving a draft on his factor.
here was very little money in
circulatlor. then; tnerc was no use
for it.
Reckoning at the present time
in terms of monev we find cotton
at fit) cents a pound, corn at $2
per bushel, wheat at $:2.5l> tier
bushel and all other communities
proportional ely high, Labor,
which is tire most impo'tant factor
in making cotton, lias advanc d so
that it is Laid to say whattiie cost
will be to make anotiwr cotton
crop even with cotton at 30 cents
a pound. What n-v to make it if
he can’t get the hands to gather
itf
Let him utilize this splendid
spelt of weather in sowing wheat
and oats, lie can raise wheat as
we'I and as cheap as anybody on
earth and fortify himself
a probable scarcity. Two
and a half is a monstrous price to
piiy lor something that it
cost fifty cents to ra'so. And if
he raises more than he needs ho
needs he can sell It is surplus for
$2 50 per bushel, or better. Cmch
the 30 cent cotton by raising v< nr
own supplies, (specially wheat.—
