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. Letters of Administratior.

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. How s This ?
