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.
