Tho Bond Issue.
Tito line and cry made by numbers of
Democratic papers against, tho Admin
istration for being nwcosnitatod to
issue bond* to supply the deficiency
in the gold reserve, in extreme
ly unreasonable and painfully un
just at this juncture. There are none
of our contemporaries who do not fully
understand what has caused the deple
lion of the gold reserve, and all know
that these causes are not attributable
to the maladministration of affairs by
the President and bis advisers. That
the Treasury’s gold supply has been
greatly diminished cannot, be success
fully denied, nor can it bo maintained
on the other hand that the money has
been wit lid raw n from t lie (level n incut's
vaults improperly. In the judgment of
Mr. Carlisle the reserve has fallen be
low a point which lie regards as the
safety line. He is Lhornfrffo necesita
ted to ncgoUnto with the commercial
world for (fold to supply tho deficiency.
It is needless and unjust to berate the
Administration because of this bond
issue. Such a step is contemplated by
existing statutes, and that the necessi
■ ty exists is apparent. Then, in the
name of reason, if bonds are not issued
how is tho 'iovernment to protect it
self against a depreciated currency?
While some wild therorisls hold that
the (loveriitneiit can Croats money—on
paper, none have yet been able to ex
plain how the gold reserve is to be
malntuiiied if not by an issue of bonds.
The (iovernment has no right to lay
violent hands upon aiiy-oiin’s gold and
transfer it to its own strong box. I.ike
individuals, it must go into the market
nud put up collateral for its •old. Let
us deal kindly and sipiarely with the
Administration. With the little power
left us let it bo our purpose to hold up
its hands. KviSry Democrat should en
deavor to extricate himself and his par
ty from the debris of the recent politi
cal cataclasm. It can’t be done by en
deavoring to saddle the load of our
woes upon Mr. Cleveland nud the Cabl-
net; but much can be done towards re
habilitating the party by gathering to
gether its scattered hosts and binding
up its political wounds.

CHARLESTON, S. C., Nov. 12. —With u
view to dieting out just tiow much cred
it was Ui be given to the recently puo
lialieil statement ol the present cot tom
crop of 10,000,000 bales, and to put hn-
foie its reaUers a trustworthy and in
telligent statement of the cotton situa
tion at the present lime, the Sewn uud
Courier applied to Mr. Alfred BrSbep-
persuii, ot New York, the well known
cotton statistician, and has received t he
following very lucid -aud satisfactory
reply:
•‘New Yoke, Nov. 8, 1894.—Uottou
has declined again to-day, chiefly. I un
dorstund, upon a crop estimate just is
sued by Mr. Neill, of New Orleans,
that the crop will be over ten millions
of bales. Tho crop is undoubtedly a
huge ou<‘, but I confess that I ora una
ble to seA any basis for such a largo es
timate. The largejt crop over grown in
this country was that which was plant
ed in 1890. Tbi yield of tliut clop was
probably 9,200,000 bales. The commer
cial crop of trial season was 8,074,000
bales, amt t’ie difference between tins
and the quantity which I have given as
the probable yield was marketed iu the
following neuron. There is no evidence
whatever to prove that the acreage of
the crop no w being marketed was any
larger than that ol the crop of 1890-91,
nor is there any evidence, to my mind
at least, that the weather conditions
have be en more l'uvoruble tins year
than in 1890. 1 am at u loss, therefore,
to understand to what cause or causes
can be reasonably attributed a yield so
much in excess ot tho monster crop of
1890. The acreage in 1890 was about
20,500,000 acres, and 1 do not, think any
one lias claimed ur will claim tliut it
was any more this year. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has been making
since February 1st a careful investiga
tion ol the (|ueslion ol cotton acre
age and lias employed a special agent
for Ilia purpose, who lias traveled
throughout the South und has investi
gated the matter, as I am informed, in
the most tlioiougli manner possible.

The Cotton Crop.
Washington, D. C., November It*.
The cotton returns of the Department
Of Agriculture for the month of No
vember show* an improvement of pros-
poets ns compared with the returns of
last month.
This is due to the better weather, uinl
is especially noticeable in the Slates of
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and
Texas.
The favorable weather, besides im
proving the crops, lias greatly facilita
ted picking.
In Alabama the crop has been nearly
all secured and much of if sold.
In Mississippi ninny counties report
t lie picking ns closed and a considera
ble improvement in the crop over the
indications of October.
The average etnmato for tho State of
Louisiana is reported ns raised, because
of (lie favorable weather for picking
during October.
Tho crop In Texas maintains tlit* Irglt
average ns formerly indicated. The
weather has been
picking and nearly throe-fourths of the
crop tins been gathered. Greater dis
patch has been noted in harvesting the
crop than in any former year, and it
has also been marketed in large quail
tities. Injuries to tho crop in some
parts of the State from excessive mois
ture, causing rust and rotting of bolls,
liar been more than eourterbalanced by
the favorable condition* that existed iu
other parts for maturing the ton crop
and for picking. No great damage
from frost is reported.
In Arkansas the weather lias also
The in
sult of the investigation was that the
acreage in 1893 was It*,625,000 acres.
There has been but a small increase iu
acreage this year over 1893, tho Depart*
mitit. of Agriculture calling tho in
crease less than one per cent., so that
the acreage of the crop now c< tiling in
is, according to tho Department of Ag
riculture’s estimate, about 19,050,000
litres. Let us assume that tlm depart
ment lias underestimated it somewhat
and thill the acreage is as much as 20,-
otH),ooo acres. This, ns you will see, is
5(H),(HH» acres less than In 1890, aud yet
we are asked to believe that upon nil
acreage of 500,000 acres less than in 1890
a crop of a million hales more lias been
grown. I am not prepared to accent
such a conclusion, because it is utterly
repugnant to reason and common sense
At these low prices, or anything like
them, tiie tendency iyill be to lurRoly
increased consumption of cotton every
where, and there wi 1 evidently be
upon the part of spinners a general dis
position to buy cotton greatly in excess
of their wants f«,r the season, because
at these prices they can well afford to
carry in the mill warehouses a large
supply of cotton into the next season.
‘'There can be no question that un-
l< ss the price advances very greatly ry
l lie time for planting the next crop
that tho acroago devoted to cotton will
oe reduced to an extent that It never
lias been curtailed before from one year
to another. So great a reduction m
acreage would cause beyuud a doubt an
advance as great and as rapid as the
decline has been. When preparations
were made for planting this crop mid
dling cotton was worth 8 cents in New
York, und should there be a ijroat re
duction of acreage this spring it will bo
very likely to go to 8 cents again soon
after tho next crop is planted, ahd the
world rocogni/.os the fact beyond dis
puto that the acreage lias been, and
consequently that the supply of cotton
will be greatly reduced.
"1 sympathize deeply with the South
ern people because of the great depres
sion wjucli tin* overtaken their staplo
crop, and, from the manner in which
cotton is being rushed to market, it
looks to mo as if when tho advance in
cotton comes it will not benelll tho
planters, because t hey will have sold all
of their crop, and that the spinners and
speculators alone will reap the benefit
ot t he tardy advance.

A writer in the New York Mercury
asks and answers an interesting conun
drum in this way: “Does a woman
ever grow old enough to bo indifferent
to a now gown? 1 never knew one old
enough for that. I thought once that
1 had found her. She would nbt ad
mit to taking the smallest interest in
her new dress; ami yet it was n most
interesting one—black silk grenadine,
sprigged over with tiny baby blossoms
in mauve-green and turquoise, Strips
of open work showed the mauve satin
liniug through, aud a couple oi. pinked
out trills that finished off tho lining
were visible when the skirt was raise!.
It was those frills that let tbe secret
out. Wo all noticed that our dear, in
different old friend uover failed to
hold up that skirt, even in the most un
necessary circumstances, in order that
those pretty satiu frill* might be duly
admired. So then we kuew that she
really did care, but thought it inconsis
