ONE DOLLAR A YEAR

Hammering Cotton Prices.
Mmiphift CaromrTClal- A ppf ttl.
New York papers, moat of '.hem
dominated by greedy interests, and ig
norant of all American affairs west of
Jersey City, are sneering at the efforts
in the South to hold up the price of
cotton to a figure approximating its
value.
The bankers of New York and the
business interests of that city are in
entire sympathy with anything that will
bring about a market and a good price
for cotton.
Hut there iH a small clique of gam
blers, commission men and buyers who
would like to see the crop moving at
any price, because they would thereby
be enabled to get commissions.
The New York World, because the
American Tobacco Co. gave encourage
ment to the buy-a-bale plan, suggested
that it also go into the business of buy-
a-barrel of apples. The World, whose
view of business is that of an old
clothes dealer, wants cotton sold at any
price.
The New York Times is urging peo
ple not to buy cotton at 10 cents when
it might be bought at 7 cents. The
Times gave a half-column of misinfor
mation it considered lit to print on cot
ton. It stated that it would take 2
cents a pound to carry a bale of cotton
for a year. The Times said: "If one
paid 10 cents a pound for a bale of cot
ton, one could not get out unless one
got 12 cents."
Answer to The Times' statement is
that a hale of cotton purchased in
Memphis at 10 cents a pound can be
carried for a year in a warehouse and
insured for $1.07 a bale, or about one-
fifth of 1 cent a pound.
Even the Wall Street Journal in-
direelly urges a marketing of the crop
at any price. It objects to all plans so
far suggested to take the surplus from
the market. The Wall Street Journal
also wants the South to “hoe its own
row. ”
Cotton is not on the same footing
with other crops, and its growers are
not as the growers of other crops for
these reasons.
Cotton is the big international money
grop of the United States, it is the
crop which goes to Europe every fall
and turns the tide of exchange towards
this country.
The New York bankers recently got
together $1110,011(1,(1011 in gold against
which England might check. Had the
markets been free, by this time $100,-
000,000 worth of cotton would have
been sold to Europe.
Cotton lust year brought into this
country aliuut $.">00,(100,(Kill. If the war
were to close to-morrow the European
demand for foodstuffs would immedi
ately fall olf and the demnml for cotton
would begin. Cotton is more powerful
in bringing gold to this country than
any other single article.
This being true, then the question of
having something which, in the event
of peace, would quickly restofh the
balance of trade in our favor, is of im
portance to all of our people and to the
Government itself.
The South cunnot hoe its own row
with ease, for the reason that in the
oast the Soutli bus been hoeing the row
of the East and North as much us it
has been hoeing its own row.
We have not the money to carry our
cotton over for a year, because in the
paBt we have been paying out money
every year to the potato and the apple
growers of Muine, New York and
Michigan- to the corn, wheat, hay and
cattle growers of the Middle North and
the West, and to the dairymen of Wis
consin.
For a generation the South has been
making profits possible to those sec
tions. Instead of growing the things
mentioned in the South, we grew cotton
because only in the South can cotton he
grown.
The world needed all of it. There
fore, we gave up our acreage to cotton
anil served the rest of the country by
bringing hack money from Europe for
it. and also by taking much of the rest
of the country's surplus products.

The Wicked Absurdity of War.
New York Christian Advocate.
If the inhabitants of some distant
plunet—provided any worlds than ours
are peopled —within whose domain war
had neve' reared its horrid front, could
lo>k upon the spectacle which now red
dens the face of Europe, the amaze
ment of the beholders can easily be
conjectured, particularly if the salient
facts of human civilization were known
to them.
Millions of men are being hurled
against one another with no immediate
purpose but the destruction of those
who are least able to resist the
shock. A perfect frenzy for bloodshed
has seized the several masses of human
beings arrayed in opposition; for it is
recognized that as soon as a sufficient
number of lighters have been murdered,
what is known as victory will be
awarded to those who have shown su
periority in brute energy or scientific
savagery.
Yet for centuries the ingenuity of
man has been applied to learn the se
cret of prolonging human life by pre
venting disease, developing physical re
sources, fortifying the body against its
enemies and strengthening man’s
power to master the circumstances of
his existence. But in a single collision
of armed forces more human beings
will be annihilated than are swept
away by fatal maladies during a whole
year in a greatcouritry. What madness!
Then at the very moment multitudes
are being ruthlessly shot down on fields
of battle, the wounded are receiving
the finest care which surgical skill and
humane concern can provide. With as
tounding contradiction the hospitals of
warring nations are endeavoring to
counteract the very purpose for which
armies are raised. They will save as
many as possible of those who were ap
pointed to die. In all civilized lands the
birth rate and the percentage of mor
tality are compared with deep anxiety.
Race suicide is regarded not merely as
immoral, hut as treachery to the na
tion. The governments of the world
are eager for populations. For what
purpose? That they may feed them to
the guns?
With unremitting toil and patience
the highest achievements of genius are
safeguarded from peril. The treasures
of art and literature are housed in
structures as permanent as the industry
and skill of men can make them. The
loss of a manuscript, the fracture of a
vase, the rending of a canvas, the
mutilation of a statue—these are ca
tastrophes so great that those respon
sible for them receive the execration of
mankind. Then stalks (he hideous de
mon of war, torcli in hand, over the
ancient glories of Louvain, and witli
diabolic fury destruys its priceless pos
sessions forever.
"War changes nothing”—that is, no
principle of justice is affected by it.
That which was right remains so, and
what was wrong is not altered in its
essence. The brutal tramplings of the
weaker into the dust under the heel of
the stronger proves nothing but the
immeasurable wickedness of which the
human heart is capable. The master
piece of satanic hate is war. Eminence
in martial conquest will, when man lias
recovered his reason, bo regarded by
him an abysmal shame. Alas for the
millions who ore the innocent victims
of this madness! Alas for (lie monarchs
who murder their subjects by dinging
them into the arena of strife! Alas for
the dupes who dream that it is patrio
tism to sacrifice themselves to the lust
of conquerors!
Toned up "Whole System.
"Chamberlain's Tablets have done
morefor me than I ever dared hope for,"
writes Mrs. Esther Mae Baker, Spencer-
port, N. Y. "I used several bottles of
these lalilets a few months ago. They
not only cured me of bilious attacks,
sick headaches and that tired out feel
ing, but toned up my whole system.”

War Still in First Stage.
New York Tribun*.
Those who have been impatiently
awaiting news of a great battle over
look the fact that the mobilization of
big armies take time, and that Germany,
in order to begin an invasion of France,
had t^i push to the front from 750,-
000 tu 1,000,000 men. The civilized
world has never yet seen so large a
force assembled and operated in a sin
gle theater of war. To get it ready for
c inverted action in less than two weeks
would be something approaching the
miraculous in military dexterity.
Moltke was one of the greatest or
ganizers of modern times. He was the
father of the modern general staff sys
tem, with its programmes of mobiliza
tion and attack prepared long in ad
vance. His success in mobilizing the
Prussian army in 1370 and in getting
quick military results out of his pre-ar
ranged strategy was phenomenal. Yet
it took him 19 days to bring the Prus
sian and South German troops to the
front in sufficient strength to make op
erations against the French successful.
Why Not Publish It ?
When you want a fact to become
generally known, the right wav is to
lub'ish it. Mrs. Joseph Kallas. Peru,

writes, "1 feel it ray duty to tell others
what Chamberlain’s Tablets have done
for me. They have helped my diges
tion and regulated my bowels'. .Since
using them I have been entirely well."

Raise More Foodstuffs.
ManufacfurerH* Reeenl.
Live men must eat, no matter what
else may happen. Food must be had
for one hundred million population of
this country, with much to spare for
another hundred million, at least, in
the countries now at war.
Only one European country among
those now working mutual destruction
of ordinary means of living produces
enough food for itself, even in time of
peace. Whatever may be the outcome
of the war, there will be an immediate
demand for food, a demand that will
increase the longer war is waged—a de
mand that is likely to end the war.
With all channels of supplies from-
outside closed, with a half dozen na
tions in the condition rapidly taking
form in Europe, we may look for a
simultaneous movement in all the coun
tries by the men and women not in the
fighting ranks for enough food to keep
them alive. They will not ask why
food fs scarce; they will not hesitate to
take it wherever it may be found.
The armed forces tnay possibly be
compelled to turn their weapons against
their own people in riot and rapine un-
palleled in history.
Famine will put an end to fighting.
Then will come the call upon this coun
try for food. If we have an abundance,
the cull will be answered with no dis
tress on our part. If we have a short
age, or if we have only sufficient for
our own necessities, the response to
the foreign demand will be made at the
expense of our people. We must have
n > shortage.
We must plant corn, using corn
generally for foodstuffs. Our farm
possibilities have by no means been ex
hausted. The United States has 1,141,-
0)0,000 acres of land suitable for tilled
crops and 3(11,570,000 acres suitable for
non-tilled crops. We ar<> tilling only
312,000,000 acres, something more than
one-fourth of the possibilities, and
little of our tilled area is producing up
to its potentialities. The present
emergency is the opportunity for a re
turn in this country from town to coun
try. Forehanded farmers are to be the
busiest class of producers in this coun
try during the next two or three years.
Let all possible attention. North, South
and West, be centered upon producing
foodstuffs.

The cotton exchanges are closed and
cotton is selling in small amounts at 7
to 9 cents. Exports are very small.
The grain exchanges are open; the
"gamblers" are betting on future
prices, options are selling actively;
prices are up, and grain is going out
of the country about 50 per cent,
faster than a year ago. Will the con
trast make any impression on the cot
ton-growers? Probably not., The big
profits they made when “bull” leaders
were rushing "corners" taught them
nothing, and they probably see no con
nection between the closing of the ex
changes and the difficulty of marketing
their crop. They are begging the
charitably disposed to "buy-a-bale,”
and attributing the difficulty of selling
the crop to everything except that the
speculative buyers have been dsiven
out of the market. —Philadelphia Re

Better an ounce a- did than a pound

On a New Basis.
Albany Herald.
The tenant and "cropper” system
will have to he changed considerably in
this part of the country next year. The
average negro renter is not going to be
able to rent land, paying his rent in
cotton, and then get advances from a
merchant or factor on a crop lien or
other obligation to be also paid in cot
ton.
And .this brings us to the point of
saying that the tenant system which
has been in vogue throughout the cot
ton-growing States for so many years
is largely responsible for the over
production which has kept the market
down. Under this system the negro
tenant has been induced, not to say
forced, to plant cotton to the exclusion
of food crops.
The change in the system which now
seems to be inevitable ought to have
the effect of making farm labor, on a
wage basis, more plentiful next year.
Only the better and more dependable
class of negroes will be able to rent
lands and make their "arrangements"
for next year, and this will force those
who cannot get land and the necessary
supplies for making crops for them
selves to seek work on a wage basis.
Tne change which seems to be coming
under the force of circumstances may
bear hard, an J even impose hardships
in places, but it will not be without its
compensations in the end.
It is an admitted fact that our tenant
system needs revision, and the crisis
that has come to the cotton market as
the result of the European war will af
ford an excellent opportunity for it.
