HIE COTTON CROP—A WORD TO TLANTEItS
LKWAKE OF SPECULATIONS IN U FU-
Mr. Editor —As tho time approaches
when tho cotton market fur 1871-2 !
will open, and tho producers aro to re-1
ccivo tho reward of their year’s toil
and anxiety’, tho speculators, manu-!
facturers, and “rings” commence •their
machinations to “hear tho market” and j
roh tho poor planter of as largo n por*
tion as possible of tho value of his ,
crop. In face of tho facts well known
to every ono who has ary knowledge
of tho condition of tho present crop,
from its planting to tho present day— j
notwithstanding tho undeniaLlo truth j
that tho area planted in cotton this, as
compared with last year, is fully twen- j
ty per cent, less, that not uric-tenth of
tho fertilizers were used this year that
were used in 1870, and that tho sea
son has Ik on unusually unpropitious ;
—tiro organs of tho speculators in “fu- j
turrs” announce as tho result of close ,
calculation and careful observation, !
that tire present crop will reach from j
3,250,000 to 3,500,000 bales, and then ;
add by way of '‘foot note” to tlo ir cal- j
dilations, that “present prices cannot
bo sustained.”
Tho object of this extravagantly false
estimate and this confident prophecy
as to “prices,” is too obvious, I hope,
to deceive my largo and numerous kin
folks who will have cotton to sell. I
know that wo aro a credulous, simple,
gullit lo fumrly, easily scared, and too
apt to believe w hat we “read in tho
papers.” The speculators liavo suc
ceeded so often in victimizing us, thoy
think they will have no difficulty in
doing so again, and that they havo
only to fix tho price and wo will ho
compelled to accept it. But lam en
couraged to beliovo that expcrienco
has taught us wisdom. Wo have'no
guano drafts to pay this fall. Our in
debtedness to our factors is not largo
enough to enable thorn to force us to
sell at any price tho speculators chooso
to offer. We have not bought much
Western corn at two dollars a bushel
on time, and promised to pay two and
a half per 'cent, a month for tho
“time.” Wo havo bought a little ba
con for which wo owo, and for which
many of my poor kin have been
obliged to givo “lien receipts”—instru
ments of torture which Si.clock would
havo been ashamed to employ—hut on j
tho w hole, wo do not owo much. The !
planting and cultivating tho crop havo i
been done on reasonable terms, and .
after paying all wo owe, a praetico
which I earnestly recommend—if w o
aro wise, wo can hold our crop and
just lor onco fix tho prico of our own
pi od action.
My honest judgment is, if wo havo
grod seasons hcnco-forward and a lato
fall, that if tho crop roaches two and
half millions- of bales, wo may count
ourselves very fortunate. 1 havo pret
ty aocurato information as to tho crop
in all tho cotton States ; I havo trav
eled a good deal, and had good oppor
tunities of observation—l know tho
difference between a good and a had
crop—and I am convinced that tho
crop of this year will ho fully twenty
per cent, below an averago crop.
Tho fiuros given in a very sensible
and w ell written editorial artielo in the
Telegraph and Moticuger of tho 3d of
last mouth, show what an averago crop
means, and in order to demonstrate
my position, 1 copy hero an extract
from that article :
“The crop grown in 1809 represent
ed the product of a highly propitious
year— a protracted season and a very
liberal application of fertilizers, and it
was, in round numbers, 3,15-1,000
bales. Bun ovor tho previous crops
since the war, as follows,: 1803, 2,-
430,039 bales: 1807, 2,593,993 bales;
1860, 3,010,77 ! ; 1805, 2,103,987.
Tho aggregate of tho six crops begin
ning with that of 1805, and counting
tho crop of 1370 at four and a half
million bales, amounts to 10,901,739
bales. Divide by six and wo have an
average yield for six years of 2,810,-
950 per annum.”
Taking the above averago and de
ducting twenty por cent, would make
the crop 2,253,504 bales—a very lair
calculation, in my opinion, unless frost
delays its coining until December, and
even then, 1 do not believe tho crop
will exceed 2,500,000 bales.
It is perfect madness, or something
worse, to suppose that the crop will
not “fall short of last year’s crop,” as
eomo enthusiastic cotton buyers and
speculators affirm, and it is scarcely j
less foolish to think that “it will equal
that of 1809,” as more moderate oper
ators say, with seeming candor and af
fected anxiety that “tho planters may
not be misled.”
Last year everybody wlio had an
aero of ground or could rent one,
“went in” for cotton. Mon, women
and children, without distinction of
race, color or previous condition of ser
vitude, were cotton crazy. They spent
twenty millions of dollars in every spe
cies of so-called ammoniated super
phosphate, to ensure the big crop they
planted for. Providence sent the most
propitious crop year that was known
in a quarter of a century, and they
made upwards of four millions of bales
this year, having recovered from their
mania, they planted from fifteen to
twenty-five per cent, less laud in cot
con, they did notapply any superphos
phate and a more unfavorable year for
cotton cannot be imagined"
No Messrs, speculators, in “futures,”
you “ain’t pretty and you can't come
in” this time, at least, not if I can stop
your little game. It would bo very
nice for you, knowing as you do, (for
I admit you arc as smart as steel-traps)
that the crop is far below au average
I —to persuade the planters that tho!
! crop “will not far short of that of lust |
year, ’ drivo down prices, persuade
them to cell, and then when prices go
up, as go up they must, fill your pock
ets to repletion, and laugh at poor, stu
pid Plow handles who was foolish
enough to allow you to swindle him.
It is our turn this time. Wo have
the game in our own hands and it (Pilt
ho onr own fault if wo allow you to
win Wo havo plenty to eat. We
owe little or nothing. We have lived
poor all tho year, made out the best
we could with scant comfort, and worn
old clothes. Wo aro in no hurry to
sell our crop. Wo can get along with
ling and hominy during tho lull, as wo
did ail tho spring ami summer. When
winter comes wo will eat spareriba and
| jowls, and a plenty of “sous " to help
out the table. Wo havo abundance
of dried peaches and apples, so that
saw will not ho wanting, and our corn
cribs will allow us to cat just ns much
l bread and grits as we can “destroy.”
i Wo can wait till you get ready to givo
us wh it our cotton is worth. If you
I can get along without it, wo can got;
| along without you. Wo know you
; must come to us in tho end. We can j
| wait, I toil you, and for every month j
j you keep us waiting, we will mako!
j you pay ue liberal interest. Toward
j spring you will think you were paying
! two and a half per cent, a month, and
; experience tho happiness of the feeling
which you so often produced in us.
> I tun glal tho i’ion handles family
have tho opportunity to pay tho spoc
| ulators with tho measure which lias
j been so often meted unto them. If!
i you havo sense, my brethren, you
j ean bo masters of tho situation. The
spinners of Now England and Old
I England must have your cotton. Thoy
1 know to a hale the size of the crop ;
j but thoy do not know that you aro iu
| telligent enough to exact the lull val
!uo of pour production. Teach them
that you aro. If they do not givo you
a fair price, refuse to sell. Wait.
Teach tho bulls and boars that you
aro not such fools as you look, and
that the fellows who have dealt in “fu
tures” on the basis of a three and a
half million crop aro not as wiso as
they think they aro.
