A Notable Addiein Hefore the
I’armer'a Coßgro*.. at lSont
gomory.
In the farmer’s congress Thursday,
Hon. R. J. Sledge, chairman of the
cottou committee of the Fanner’s Alli
ance, and delegate from Texas to the
congress, made a notable speech. It
was as follow*:
It is one of the most remarkable
f reaks of nature that an art'cle of uni
-sal use and necessity should he pro
uced only on such a small fraction of
the earth’s surface, and its production
dependent upon such a limited number
of people. Just think that 83 per cent
of the World’s supply is tinder the
prime control of the people of the
southern portion of the United States!
and a unanimous determination to plant
no more would paralyze the industry
of the earth. The yearly values grow
ing out of the cotton crop are without
parallel in history ; and, compared with
the aggregate, all the gold mines of
Peru, California and the Indies, sink
into insignificance. With such a gen
erous gift from Nature the cotton pro
ducers’ seotion should be the very gar
den of the world, its homes palaces,
and its people princes ; but through the
unjust condition prevailing, established
and continued bv the wiles and designs
of schemers and tricksters, by the en
actment of unjust and evil legislation,
the people whs raise cotton are still
struggling in poverty, little better than
serfs to the favored and irresponsible
few. But the question wliicli, presents
itself to the cotton producers of tho
south i 9, how can we direct our ener
gies to gain the best results for our
selves from this great boon Nature has
bestowed upon us? llow shall we
handle the cotton crop ? The subject
may well bo divided into two parts :
tirst, the consideration ol tho handling
of the cottou crop in its production and
preparation for market; and second,
the handling of the cotton crop in its
sale and shipment, or upon the markets
as a commodity of commerce.
Under the first head, there are many
minor evils and abuses, which I have
not the time to discuss ; hut thete are
several prominent evils that demand
attention. In a general# way, it must
be admitted that there is not care en
ough taken in the harvesting of cotton
to avoid trash, sand and dirt; and that
the presence of foreign substances is
always very expensive, because it low
er? the grade. It is generally ginned
by public gins, that me paid by the
bale or hundred (>ounds ; and they are
allowed to gin too fast, and, as a con
sequence, the cotton fibre is often bad
ly cut up aurt napped. It will always
be found profitable to caiefully pick
and gin the crop. One of the greatest
evils in handling the crop, in ite prep
aration for market, snd one that con
tinues to be wasteful and expensive in
its subsequent handling as a commodi
ty of commerce, is the size of the bales
and, as a consequence, the character
of wrapping necessary. It, ie usually
put up in bales weighing 500 pounds
each. They are. of course, so uuwield
ly that they must always, in handling,
be rolled upon the ground in the mud,
sand or dirt, and requires heavy, coarse
wrapping and heavy iron bands, which
makes a tare of from fifteen to thirty
pounds pot bale, and even then does
not protect the cotton. A small bale
weighing 150 pound could be handled
by one man, and need never be laid
down in the dirt ; requires nothing but
wires to preserve its shape, so that it
may be slipped into sacks, which may
be returned to the shipper, and, as a
consequence, removes all loss from tare,
as well as expense of freight on the
tare. The small bales are packed by a
simple and cheap machine tea greater
density than the best compress is able
to give the large bales now use. I
would therefore recommend the small
bale system ot handling cottou as a
vast improvement upon present meth
ods, and as a perfect way of forever
settling the jutebaggiug war ; and think
that the sacks for covering the small
bales should be made of cotton because
it is less imflammable, and more imper
vious to moisture. lam prepared to
demonstrate that a saving of eighteen
millions of dollars, yearly, can be se
cured to the cotton planter by the in
troduction of the small bale.
To sum up the methods of handling
cotton upon the farm may be improved
by a more careful system of picking
and ginning, by packing in small bales,
and by housing in dry stotage bouses
until offered for sale.
Uuder the second division of my sub
ject, that of handling the cotton upon
the markets, there are many things to
consider.
The profits and savings growing ont
of home manufacture, are subjects which
have their results in the future ; and
their consideration may be reserved or
prolonged without injury to present in
terests. The object for immediate con
sideration, i* the best method to be
adopted in handling the raw material,
annually, as it is produced, so that the
great losses which accompany preseut
methods and conditions, may be avoid
ed to the greatest extent ; and the pro
ducers rendered independent of the
power now exercised over them bv
speculators and money manipulators.
The aggregate of the preseut crop is
estimated at above seven million bales,
pr nearly four billion pounds ; the final
vi, ue ns raw cotton, above four hun
dred miliiftei dollars. This is the re-,
suit of tho industry of the cotton plan-i
ters of tho south; and the question for
tl cm to solve is. how shall they man
age this product in order to keep a just |
proportion of its value at home, and
tints he enabled to enjoy the fruits of
their toil and economy.
The first evil to be recognized as
placing the planter at a disadvantage, is
it s obligation to merchants, by which
the control of his product is virtually
taken away from him. and he is com- j
polled to dispose of his crop, or at least
a portion of it, at unreraanerative pri
ces, at the pleasure of his erditors, and
at a time when his own ability to refuse
to sell would greatly aid others of his (
fellow producers to secure a fair price, j
and thus his misfortune, or short sight- j
edness, is visited u.on his friends and
neighbors, and enable* buyers to sup
ply their necessities at prices ruinous
to all producers. A large number of
producers being thus under obligation
to buyers or merchants, they may bo i
compelled to deliver a large quantity
of the staple at one time, and thus fix a I
price'so low that more unfortunate neigh j
hots cannot sell except at ruinous pri
ces. The fact that a portion of the ■
cotton producers are independent of the
merchants docs not protect them from I
loss so long as there is a sufficient num
her in the toils of debt to enable the
buyers to command the delivery of a
sufficient amount to meet their require- j
ments at a ruinous rate, thus enabling
them to hold down prices until the
mote fortunate are exhausted in their
ability to hold, and then they, in their
turn, are compelled to let go at the pri
ces fixed by the speculative class.
The remedy seems to lie in relieving
the cotton crop of all obligation, it
possible, thus enabling the producers
to command the market and fix prices
at a remuneiative rate. The crop!
mortgage should he forever abandoned.
The only liopo of escape from this rob
bery seems to be perfect and thorough
ly organized co-operation among the
cotton raisers ; the devising of such a
plan as will enable all to avoid any
claims to mature upon the crop. This
accomplished, let the actual demand of
spinners for consumption be estimated,
and the times of delivery of necessary
quantities be learned. Let the specu
lative demand be entirely ignored, and
then a fair and reasonable price he fix
ed. Let it be so ariariged that t.o cot
ton shall be sold except to supply the
actual demand for manufacture, and
that only at the reasonable price agreed
upon. In this way the quantity annu
ally held for speculation will be remov
ed, and tho full return of value flow
where it should, to ihe produce. This
would require a system of warehouses,
insurance, and a managing and clerical
force at home. Buclt expenses kept
among the producers, instead of being
out of the way, the profits enjoyed by
the speculators in other localities, would
sweii the net income of tho produc
ers.
By such co-operation among produc
ers, the expense of handling, ginning,
b diug and hauling the cron might he
greatly reduced, and various other ad
vantages gained, which will readily sug
gest themselves from time to time. The
great object, however, to be constantly
in view, is the necessity of arranging
to hold the ciop after it is produced ;
and a systematic arrangement by which
the actual demand for consumption may
be known, and the exact quaiutity re
quirod at proper intervals to supply this
demand.
Fstimating the difference between
what the producer receives and what
the spinner pays, exclusive of freight
charges at one and a half cents per
pound, we have an aggregate of over
sixty million dollars of which the pro- |
ducers are robbed, and which goes into
the hands of the speculators. Add to
this, for insurance, storage, ueces«ary
handling, etc., for speculative purposes,
say ten million dollars more, and the
aggregate saving on the raw cotton
amounts to over seven million dollars,
which, by the present unjust and un
wise system, goes to speculators entire
ly-
By this system of handling tile crop,
it will be seen that almost seventy-five
million dollars will be retained at home
ill the hands of producers, in addition
to the amount realize:!, even at what is
considered average prices; and the
grand total amounts to over four huu
dred and seventy five million dollars,
which the ptoducers should receive in [
cash, and not in the way of necessities ;
at exhorbitant prices, which reduces
their actual return to a mere fraction
of what it in justice should be. Ad- i
ded to this sum the vast amount which
would be realized from being able to
manufacture the entire crop at home,
and the retui u for cottou seed oil and \
fertilizers fioru hulis, and the aggregate !
value to the south is beyond the entire
producing capacity of any nation under
the sun.
Let the cotton producers once real
ize the enormous advantage such co
operation would give them ; the vast
gain in being able to buy for cash what
they require at a reasonable price, and
there should surely be no difficulty m
inducing them to undergo any amount
of temporary privation to place them
iu such a position of vantage. Let the
cotton planters of the south once be
come masters of the great staple thev
produce and their prosperity will be
the wonder of the century. Their
squalid homes will blossom into very
edens of pio-perity ; their children need
never know want; comfort happiness
and plenty will smile arouud them, and
the nations of the eaith will look on in
admiration upon a people who couli
master the wiles of mercenary chican
ery, and build up a prosperity such as
the world never before beheld.
The wealth of Babylon, or Carthage
or of Thebes would be but as dross f a
side the prosperity of the redeemed
south ; because the riches of those cit
ies was but the lesults robbed from the
labor of slaves, while the wealth of the
south would be the just return of the
labor i f well directed freemen, who
knew tiieir rights and had the courage,
the manhood, the intelligence and the
endurance to demand and maintain
them. A glorious picture could be
presented of southern prosperity and
the grand possibilities which might
ame from this golden gift ■( natute to
the people of the south, hut it would
be out of place here- It is ei.ouglt to
say that the future prosperity of the
south and her people rests in intelligent
and perfect co-operation among her cot
ton producers The grand object to lie
achieved is the absolute control of her
cotton crop by the industry which pro
duces it, ami their relief from the pow
ei which dictates to them the price they
shall teceive for this indispensable ar
ticle ol commerce and necessity.

A Ison i Him llrotlier.
Severn 1 years ago my brother who
lives with me, had a very strange sore
to break out on his leg—which after
wards developed into a rose cancer. It
resulted from a bruise made by the
rubbing of tho stirrup-leather while
riding.
The cancer continued to grow until
it was about five inches long, and three
wide. Ihe flesh off, black,
rotten and foul, and it was almost im
possible to procure a servant that would
wait upon him, the air in the room
where he lay being so foul that it would
sicken anyone who entered. Every
physician of any prominence in the
State was consulted, and treated my
brother without success. One doctor
finally advised him to try Swift’s Spe
cific (S. S. S.) he did so, and used
nothing else. He commenced to im
prove immediately, and after taking
several bottles was completely cujpd,
and since 188-1 not a symptom of the
disease has manifested itself.

that exceedingly common disease. Less

blood purifier, is a peculiarly success
ful remedy for this disease, which it

suffer from catarrh, try Hood’s Sarsa
parilla, the peculiar medicine.
Impure blood is the primary cause
of the majority of diseases to which the
human family is subject. The blood
in passing through the system visits
every portion of the body—if pure, car
rying strength and vitality ; il impure,

Ayer’s Cherry Pectorial in the house,
one feels, in such cases, a sense of se
