Don't Know Anything About it.
The newspapers have been busy
advising the farmers, and the far
mers have been busy advising the
the newspapers. The fanner’s
advice consists' of 6nly three
words, more expressive than ele
gant, while the newspapers take
much more space than that. Both
of them accomplish about the
same results.
The farmer has been the subject
of some abuse also. He won’t
sell his cotton. He was told at the
beginning of his trouble, when
cotton was 9 cents p>*r pound, that
lie must not sell—hold it. All that
was necessary for him was to
place it in a warehouse and pu
his receipts up as additional col
lateral, and then he could “hold it.’
He went the advisiors one bet
ter. He kept his cotton at horm.
Then he knew it was being held.
And now, when cotton is 7 cents
per pound, his former advisors
are quarreling with him because
he won’t sell it. Well whv should
he sell it? Same say to help busi
ness. Then why not everybody
their property liquidate? That
would help business also. Bat it
would mean ruin at the same time.
There is a force higher than
any of us working out this prob
lem. We can agitate and quarrel,
but it won’t make any change in
the process, which is slow. If all
of the farmers tried to sell their
cotton now, it wouldn’t bring any
thing. '1 here is some liquidation
going on. A little is being sold
every day—all that the market
will take and not slump. We may
he comforted with the theory that
this slow liquidation will continue
throughout next year, thereby
producing a better average for the
first nine months of next year
than we experienced for the first
nine monlhs of this year.
But you can’t hurry the farmer.
We told him to “hold” it. He’s
doing it. —Macon Telegraph.
