A radical member of the English par

Andrew Carnegie “derides the intelligence

it is cruel in his friend to give him away
in this style.

Tlie Prospect for Onr Staple.
The annual publication by Latham
Alexander & Co., New York, of a volume
entitled “Cotton Movement and Fluctua
tions,” has been continued forfifteen years.
The value of the book has increased with
each successive appearance, and this year
it comes to us in all respects better than
ever before. iA
It is handsomely bound, the cover
adorned with the title and the firm name
in gilt, above which there is stamped an
emblematic ciown of cotton and gold,
The volume contains a great deal of
valuable and interesting data, besides care
fully prepared letters from Latham, Alex
ander & Co. and from Ellison & Co. of
Liverpool on the history of the past
cotton season and the outlook for
that which is just fairly opened. The ta
hies extend back to 1883 showing the daily
and weekly reports of cotton at the ports,
receipts of interior towns, exports and
stocks, fluctuations of middlings and cut-
ton for future delivery. The tables for
Europe show prices, receipts and stocks in
Great Britain and on the continent, ship
ments from every cotton-producing coun
try, fluctuations of deliveries in Liverpool
and other interesting data.
There is a very elaborate report of the
crop of 1887-88.
The annual letter of Latham, Alexan
der & Co., takes quite a hopeful view of
the position of cotton.
The last crop was 7,040,832 hales. Ex
ports reached 4,627,502 bales. Ameri
can consumption increased largely,
our mills taking 2,315,099 bales,
of which southern mills aonsumed 456,090
bales. The total visible supply of cotton
in the world was, on the 31 *t of August
only 884,297 bales, against 1,218,667 last
year and 1,097,297 in 1886. This differ
ence has been largely increased because
September receipts were unusually heavy
last year and this year have been very
light. It is not likely, says the letter, that
there will be any excessive supply of cot
ton this year On the contrary, the sup
ply may be scant in spile of increased
acreage. The demand has .increased very
largely, aud this season opened with a de
ficit of 334,370 hales in the total visible
supply as compared with last year. The
letter concludes wi h these eucouraging
views:
“Official reports from Iudia in re
gard to toe new crop in that
country indicate very clearly that
the area under cotton in that county will
be even loss than that of 1887—88. The
latest advices from abroad are that Eu
ropean spinners now hold no more stock at
their mills than they held at this time last
year and '•onsiduraldy hss than in 1886.
American milts also begin the season with
very little cotton on hand. The state of
European politics is much more settled
than it was h year ago. The prosperity in
manufacturing circles bids fair to las.;
every spindle is running, mills are doing
a profitable business and there is no great
accumulation of goods auywhere. From
an article printed on a subsequent page
of this book it will be seen that the use of
cotton is increasing much faster in propor
tion than that of other textiles. It is likely
therefore that the demand for our cotton
will be very great this year and that prices
will lie well maintained; in fact it
is probable that they will he
higher than for the yrar
just passed. A crop of seven millions of

The growth orrailroads in Georgia during
the past decade was phenomenal. In
1879 they returned their property at
$9,866,129; this year they pay
taxes on $29,364,127, an increase of $19,-
437,998, or 212 per cent.
One of the most notable things in the
report is the comparative slatement of tail
returns from the negro population. In
1879 the negroes of Georgia owned $5,182,-
398 north of properly; this year their tax
returns foot up $9,631,271. In these ten
years the negroes of Georgia have grown
richer by $4,448,873, an increase of 85 per
cent, over their possessions in 1879.
One part of the report every in

ceive.
The whole school system of Georgia
ought to be reconstructed. If we cannot
be liberal we ought at least to make an
effort to rise to the level of decency in
this matter. As it stands the so-called
"system” of public schools in Georgia is a
sham and a fraud. It just is better than
none; it is immeasurably below that of
other states in the union, to which
Georgia considers herseil superior

able arraignment of the pre.-e t tariff. He
handles the question with a masterly grasp.
There is wisdom in these words:
“Tub question is not whether tariff re
form will tr will not come. It is sure to
come, either now or in the near future.
The question really is, whether it shall
come iu the temperate and prudent shape
proposed in Mr. Cleveland’s message,
tending to strengthen rather than endanger
the manufacturing industries, or in the
shape of an angry reaction a little later,
threatening such loss and confusion as is
incident to sudden, violent and sweeping
chauges of system.” His arraignment of
the trusts is in striking contrast to Mr.
Blaine’s apology for them. The kinship
of the present tariff and the trusts he
makes very clear. These, words hit tho
while:
“Tn fact the protective tariff and the
trust are children ol the same parentage;
the trust is the younger brother of the
tariff. The springing up of trusts has put
upon the tariff question a new face. The
trust is extortion undisguised. It bluntly
bids the people ‘stand and deliver,’' The
efforts to obscure the relationship between
trust and protective tariff will not succeed
long, if they succeed at ail. No free and
spirited people will long endure such com
binations when their nature has once been
understood.”
This letter of Mr. Schurz is one of the
most notable contributions to the literature
of the campaign. It is in every way an
admirable production and cannot fail to
have a decided effect.

The conitituti mal amendment is

indicates very clearly that the people do

the work of that court to the lowest bidder
would probably receive a iarge and enthu

state might save two or three hundred
dollars a year.
