Impelled by a desire to do what he
could to aid in any movement looking
to the relief of present distressed con
ditions, resulting from the almost com
plete stagnation in the cotton market,
Cov. Slaton went to Washington on
Saturday last, and on Monday was
present at a meeting of House Hanking
and Currency Committee. This com
mittee had under consideration what is
known as the Henry hill, which pro
vides for the issuance by the Govern
ment of emergency currency in the
sum of $500,000,000, the money to be
loaned to the farmer direct to the
amount of $36 per bale, etc., thus en
abling him to hold his cotton olT the
market until conditions brought about
by war can be readjusted. Gov. Sla
ton was an interested spectator at the
hearing, and learned at first hand what
most people had already decided,
namely that no relief will he extend
ed by Congress to the Southern farmer
in the sore straitH in which he now
findH himself. The Governor was dis-
ap|Kiinted at the lack of interest and
sympathy displayed by those high in
authority at the seat of Government,
and came away "plumb disgusted," as
F.d Reuse would express it. Speaking
of his trip to the Washington corres
pondent of the Atlanta Constitution be
fore leaving for home Monday, hi' said
"I had hoped to find some disposition
here to do something for the cotton
farmer, hut it is not in this committee
which is handling the problem. There
is a long system of circumlocution here
of doing things, which, in its last analy
sis, is a system to devise a way to keep
from giving relief to the cotton-grow
ers and the people down South, who
have learned to look upon Congress us
made up of popular idols of the people,
working for the people, and who expect
ed something to he done. Instead of
taking kindly to the proposition, it is
approached in a censorious and fault
finding manner, with an evident inten
tion of evading the issue and eventually
failing to do anything.
"Congress inaugurated a great, irri
gation plan for the Western States,
and only recently remitted interest on
B $80,000,000 loan to farmers of that
section. It has valorized silver in the
interests of the miners and mine-
owners of the West; it appropriated
money for the relief of San Francisco
after her great disaster, and did like
wise for Salem; but when the cotton-
growing States ask Congress for relief
we are given a respectful hearing, with
a view, it seems, of finding some
grounds for refusing to help us.
"Georgia is the second cotton-grow
ing State in the Union, hut the State
cun do nothing. Relief is not within
the functions of the State, and it would
require two years to enact a Constitu
tional amendment, anyway.
"I regret to soy it. hut l see no
chance for relief from Congress."
Yet we all remember how persistently
and plausibly the argument was used
during the late Congressional cam
paigns, and in the race for U. S. Sen
ator, that the old members should be
retained in their seats in the present
crisis; that they would be more in
fluential and serviceable in securing
legislation by Congress for the relief of
the Southern farmer than could lie ex
pected of new and inexperienced men,
etc. Panic-stricken at the prospect of
being forced to sell his cotton at a
price that meant ruin to him, the
average farmer bit eagerly ut the bait
held out to him. ami accepted in good
faith the rosy promises made prior to the
election. Now he is wondering how in
thunderation it happened that he should
have been taken in so easily.
But a day of reckoning will come, and
already he is whetting his snickersee in
preparation for the next round.
A committee of railroad presidents
has presented to President Wilson a
brief of the difficulties confronting the
railroads, brought on by the European
war. The President, in turn, has trans
mitted the memoranda to the American
people, directing attention to the extra
ordinary emergency now confronting
the railroads. The railroads are inno
cent bystanders in this war, and yet
they have been more severely wounded
than any other industry, for railroad
property, although privately owned, is
devoted to public service, and while
the Government makes the rates and
requires expenditures, it does not guar
antee receipts. Tho farmers suffer for
luck of a market, and business stag
nates by the cloning of foreign porta,
but the warehouse ami the bank vault
will preserve their property t'roru de
struction while the railroads, like Ten
nyson's "Brook," must run on and on,
and cannot resort tu any such expedi
ency to protect their interests.
Some have asked, "Why this *Buy-
a-liale-of-Cntton’ movement, anyway'.’"
It is explained in a few words by the
Galveston News, which says:
"The best reason one has for buying
a hale of cotton is that thereby one will
tie helping i farmer directly, and the
whole community in which he lives in-1
directlv. That is also a sufficient rea
son. We mean by this that if even if
one lost s', or $10 by the investment, l.e
would still have a profit in the satisfac
tion lie would derive from the conscious
ness of having discharged a patriotic
duty. However, we do not believe
there is much, if any, chance of losing
-Id, or even $5. We think the chance
of profiting is much larger than the
chance of losing; that, in other words,
a bale of middling cotton is apt to be
worth considerably more than $50 a
year hence, so that the purchase will be
a good investment for the man who has
the cash to spare."
Mefore the outbreak of war the na
tions now doing battle in Europe were
carrying enormous public debts. The
Statesman's Year Book for IBID, pub
lished in London, places Britain's na
tional debt at $3,620,309,735. The
French debt was $6,511,579,955. In
1913 the Russian national debt was $1,-
222,858,880. The total public debt of
these three nations adds up to the stag
gering total of nearly $16,000,000,001).
Germany's debt is $3,895,133,070; that
of Austria-Hungary totals $3,698,801,-
985. The German States also have in
dependent debts, and there is an im
perial debt. There are, of course, no
accurate figures possible to secure to
show the daily cost of the war, but it
iB estimated that it calls for expendi
tures exceeding $22,000,000 every day.
The farmer can produce without or
ganization, but to successfully market
his crops he must unite with his neigh
bor.
Get the difficulties out of the far
mer’s way and the farmer's problems
will solve themselves.

Cotton Prices For Thirty Years.
Savannah Morning New*.
In response to inquiries as to what
prices cotton has commanded during
the last thirty years the following in
formation is furnished:
The present crisis in the cotton trade
and the low price at which the staple
is now ruling renders an inquiry into
past history of the market both inter
esting and instructive.
The Department of Agriculture has
kept up a record of farm prices and has
the same consolidated by five-year pe
riods. This, of course, is for the aver
age grade, including all. From these
records it appears that the decades
named, the price averaged as follows
From lssi) to 1XK9, 10 years, 9.0c.
From 1890 to 1899, 10 years, 6 9c.
From 1900 to 1909, It) years, 9,7c.
Then for Die next four years the
average yearly farm price, calculated
on Dec. 1, was as follows:
Dec. 1, 1910 14 2c.
Dec. 1, 1911 8.8c.
Dec. 1, 1912 11.9
Dec. 1, 1913 12.2c.
During the decade 1880-89, in the
New York market the highest average
for the year for middling was 12.16c.,
ami the lowest yearly average was
9 -lie.
For the decade 1890-99, the highest
yearly average in New York was 9 03c.
and the lowest 6c.
For the decude 1900-09, the highest
yearly average in New Y'ork was
12.42c. and the lowest 8.75c.
At prices now prevailing the average
farm price would be about Sc., perhaps
a hIiuuc lower.
For all practical purposes it would be
both confusing and misleading to take
these figures at their face value in
drawing practical comparisons. The
relative cost of production must enter
as an indispensable element of the
question.
The cost of growing cotton is ad
mittedly much greater now than it was
ten, twenty or thirty years ago. The
increase is all along the line. It costa
the producer much more tor supplies of
all kinds, especially feed and stock.
Labor coats more because the cost of
living has increased and the demand for
labor likewise. Also the need for fer
tilizer has increased.
In former years a farmer could make
a moderate profit on his cotton at
cents on the farm; now such a price
does not pay him out — except, of
course, in those cases where only
few bales are raised and with only
small money investment. Along with
advancing prices the cost of production
has expanded. Indeed, it is only the
higher range of prices which has made
the larger production a possibility.
