Tbeir employes, in the mean time,
> suffer for Jibe want of work,
id are beguiled by /aissnrance*
t they get hotter pay (while at
work) than employes in other
countries. But that condition af
fects only a small portion of the
working people of the South.
With a prudent limitation of tbeir
cotton production to the needs of
the world, the Southern farmers
Oin continue to escape the worst
conditions of ‘hard times.”
The Southern Confederacy seems
to- be dead everywhere except Id
Iowa whera there te a Republican
majority of Something like 60,000.
We reed that In Charlton in that
State the Democrats turned out re
cently to celebrate' tbeir victory.
Cheers for JeffDavis ran along the
line, bloody shirts were paraded
and burned and a colored boy was
made helplessly!drunk and sold at
auction. This goes a long way
ahead of anything in the wildest
part of the solid Sooth.
. . Congressman Calkins, of Iudia-
na, has been counting obickens be
fore, they were batched. He was
the late Republican candidate for
. Governor ol that State, and during
the campaign bo resigned bis seat
in Congress which he could have
held Indefinitely. So sure was be
, of ; hls election that he invited bis
Congressional friends to bis inaugu
ration. Bat be was defeated by
8,000 votes. Another man was
elected to Congress in bis place,
and list night Calkins left Wash
ington for Indiana a private citizen.
ROT ALTOGETHER BAD.
The cry of "hard times," the
Rome Courier observes, so far as
it applies to genoral dullness of
trade and difficulty of collecting
money, is well founded; but we
think that there are compensations,
particularly for the cotton planters
el the South, which ought to make
them thankful that they are in bet-
ter condition than other classes.
Tbcirstaplo now commands a ready
sale at 10 cents per pound—a fair
and average price—while nearly
everything which they have to buy
haa fallen greatly in market value.
Prints are selling by retail at 4£
and 6 cents a yard, shirtings and
sheetings at 6 to 64 cents, shoes at
extremely low prices, blankets at
$1.60 to $2.00 per pair, and othor
woolen goods in proportion. Gro
ceries and provisions are equally
low. Sugar was seldom, if over,
known to be lower than now; bread-
stuffs are uncommonly cheap, and
meats much below the ruling prices
of late years. Ordinarily a cotton
planter thinks he has made a good
exchange if a pound of cotton will
buy a pound of bacon; but now
sldemeatoan be bought at 14 cents
per pound, while cotton commands
lfi. Not only is the nominal price
c! cotton a fair one, but the money
obtained tor it will buy a much
larger quantity of farm supplies
than usual. It is true that the crop
is a short one, but wo think that
when the cotton planter computes
- the savings tbst he makes by the
cheapness of commodities of neces
sary home consumption, he will
find the balance on bis side.
Now we do not make these sug
gestions with a view to entourage
an inoreaas of cotton planting next
year wtth the expectation of ex
changing cotton at a good price
ror other products at low rates, for
we do not believe that this relative
condition will.last through another
year. It is because the cotton
crop is a short one that it com
mands a good price, and a big
crop next year would probably
aeud it down towards “rock bot
tom" again. The low prices of
manufactured articles, oa the other
hand, are due to excessive produc
tion. Our high tariff stimulated
tha protected indnsbies to over
production, and they glutted the
home market without being able
to compete in foreign countries
with the prodnoU of other manu
facturing nations. They are now
cartelling production and working
off 'thilr* snrpint at low prices.

Tottered and Fell in a Day!
Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing
manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi
als bought on credit. These manufacturers placed their faith
on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on
it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given
for piece goods, but the trade did not come, the continuous
warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there
was nothing left for them to do but to fail and tum their goods
over to an Assignee. It was bad for them, but it is in your
power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods
are to be sacrificed we are ahyays on hand. Our Mr. Joe
Waxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we
were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand
