parently onght to bo true that by

the South could in a few years have

a feat-which would be contrary to

soning docs not disprove the state'
menu of the advocates of more eco
nomical and better methods iu farm'
ing at the Sonlh, for the lowering
of the prices as production increased
would put an automatic check upon
the sudden growth of wealth. There
is one mistake, however, which most
Southern farmers make that might
be corrected without bringing about
any diminution of prices of ti.c sta
ple crops which the South lias to
sell, while it would certainly and
largely increase the value of the
annual product of her soil. The
raising of their own corn, bacon,
wheat, hay, oats, mules, and dairy
products would greatly reduce their
out-go without diminishing their
homes. Experience has already

Gditac's trial was commenced on
Monday morning. Tho lawyers ap
pearing in tho case were Judge Porter,
of New York, aod Walter D. Oavldge,
of Washington, for tha prosecution, at d
Mr. Scoville and Hugh Robinson for
the defense. Robinaou moved for
a continuance, when Gniteau arose,
and, addressing the Court, said he was
ready for trial, and desired no post
ponement The motion to postpone
was overruled, and the court at once
proceeded with the task of getting a
jury. Five jurors were sworn up to
the time the Conrt adjourned for
the day.
The Boston Post says: ‘•Tho Atlan

but it ie doing as much for the North

under whose au-piccs il ia held. No
good business man can examine the
many suggestive features of the Expo
sition without becoming convinced that
the Sooth ia entering upon a new and
promising industrial era, the develop
ment of which no man can now esti
mate. The South is not to he limply
a feeder of Northern manufacture, bat
U rather to bo iu rival if tha aigna are

aud left him with nothing _
but wooTaiiaa few minor crops;
but he lias never toanr considerable
extent become a' buyer of corn,
flour and beet. Ho still produce'
enough of these lor his own use,
besides pork, oats, barley, hay, ap
ples, and maple sugar. Having so
little to buy, he can still live com
fortably, even when lie bae almost
nothing to sell. He illustrates in a
striking mauner the independence
of hi* occupation. Tbe amount or
hit annual money dealings with
tradespeople, either in.buying or
selling, ia often surprisingly small,
considering tbe value of what he
produces and consumes, yet i« hap
py and comfortable, and perhaps
•ays by something every year. The
condition of the Southern planter
who farina on tbe all-cotton plan is
very different He sells everything
he produces and haa to buy every
thing he consumes. It is fortunate
for hitn if the exchange balances;
rarely is there any surplus left in his
hands. When a hale of cotton is
paid* for less than a ton of hay, or
for 40 bushels of coin, it is only ne
cessary to kuow that the cotton cost
the farmer about $40 to understand
tho impossibility of his getting
ahead iu the world. So lung a* this
exchange or his cotton agniust the
supplies required to raise it is even
and both ends are to meet, and the
planter’s condition Is not so mocb
worse than that a very large per
centage of the rest of bis fellow-be
ings, but everybody -eet at oncethat
so long as he does no more than this
be is guilty of a gross neglect of bis
opportunities. Favored as he is by
climate and soil and in the nature
nf his product, which is always
salablo on sight, he onght to make
money. It is only by the must
blamable management that be ran
help it, for with a reasonable exer
cise of that faculty which the Yan
kee farmer calls ‘‘calculation.’’ he
would become rich in spite of him
self. There is uo excuse for pover
ty among the farmers of tho South.
Their extravagant and wasteful
management ia the cause of the hard
times of which they complain so
much.
Tho question whether supplies
shall be raised or bought is un
doubtedly one of prime importance
to farmers throughout th* South
ern States. The actual practice of
nearly all the poorer farmers is to
buy them. Tbe subject is being
much discussed in the newspapers
and among planters, and proofs of
the bad policy of buying instead of
raising have been so plentifully ad
vanced that in many States there is a
marked tendency toward an increase
of home production of grain and
meat. This Is notsbly so in Louisi
ana, where the planters are buying
less and less every year from the
merchants of St. Louis and New
Orleans. In Georgia and Florida
not much change is yet perceptible,
but in the Carolina* the question of
raising supplies is on the increase.
From thirty to forty per cent, ot the
grain and meat eaten on Georgia
plantations comes from the North
and Wist. In the ten Southern
States tie annual consumption of
wheat is e-timaW by President
Morehead, of the National Cotton
Tlautera’ Association, at 68.844.924
bushels, and tho annual prmltic'iou
is 26£92£80, a deficit ot 42,252244
bushels; the consumption <>f corn
Is 340,063.329 bushels, and the pro
duction 223,404 050, a deficit of 166,-
684,179; ot oats, 104,1 038 bushels
are consumed nnd ouly 26.421,980
430 a ton, or much bight • if on
credit. For these 286,698,6.3 bush

Southern industry*!* one"o| J tCe fac
tors which go to make the cost of
producing a pound of cotton eight
oT bine cents, when it ought to be
not more than four or five cents.
The South can raise its own supplies
without trenching upon' the cotton
acreage. If the growing of cotton
were three times as profitable aa it
now is, and the- demand were al
ways in excess of the supply, it is
extremely probabln that the Month-
e.’tt planter would find il to hi* ad
vantage to raise nothing but cottou
aud bay ail his supplies. A purely
eenliniental preference for home
productions and local independence
is no sufficient reason tor planting
roru and sowing wheat on laud that
would yield cotton euough to buy
twire as much grain as could be
raised on it. But (5,000,000 bales ot
cotton, which is about the present
Annual yield, as quite are lunch aa
ihe world need* or will buy at pres
ent rates which pay the cost ol
raising. An increase to 7,000,000 or
8000,000 bales would he followed
by a tall in price from ten cents per
pontid to five or six cents. Tbe ua
tural increase in demand arising
front the expansion of trade; tne
opening up of uew markets and the
growth of population can be and
will be met by higher cnltivation,
giving tw|ce aa many pounds to the
acre estate at present obtained. The

and ruitkbav*. been most froqnenl
among those farmers who foolishly
believed that the all-cotton plan was
the sure road to wealth. There are
cotton factors and merchants In ev
ery Southern city snd village who
owns from five to forty plantations,
snd they have bean acquired almost
without exception from farmers who
have been stripped of their all by
exclusive cotton growing. The
tennut system and the credit system
are both serious obstacles to the
growth of supply raising. It is
next to impossible to persuade a ne
gro tenaut to plant anything bnt
cotton, ile thinks of only immedi
ate profits, and looks upon corn and
oats just as he does upon commer
cial fertilizers as something which
represents an outlay of which he is
too abort sighted to“see the corres-
jonding return. On many farms the
andlora furnishes the supplies, and
the tenants become so accustomed
to dependingon him that they come
to believe Southern soli will pro
duce nothing bpt cotton. The cred
it system works against supply-
railing, because it is based on cot
ton. No merchant will make ad
vances on tbe security of a com or
wheat crop, and tbe planter who is
without means must perforce plant
cotton and not much else in order
to otain credit In some recent
years the cotton crop of tbe State of
Georgia has cost more to produce
than il' Was sold for in the local
market. A year like one of these
of wheat, and the rest to cotton.
This not only makes tbe tenant in
dependent of the dealers in sup
plies, but is far less exbansting to
tho land than n constant cropping
with cotton.
The credit system ia an evil of
perhaps greater dimensions than the
all-cotton dtlurion. Aside from
tha demoralizing influences which
debt always and everywhere have
over those who incur it, the system
of farm credits in the Sooth has
some mischievous tendencies popu
lar to ilaelf. Its effect is to maks
tbe planter the aerl of the merchant
with whom be deal*. Ail Us gains
are bia master’s; ho cannot sell ex
cept to that master nor bny of any
other, and he must always pey the
price demanded of him, but is com
pelled to accept what he can get for
his crop. A farmer who is wit bent
capital goes to his factor in the
spring snd pie Iges to Mm by chat
tel mortgage or otherwise the cot
ton crop he intends to raise during
the coming season as security for
bis merchandise he will consume
while fie crqu-is growing. Oil this
rity.itke merchant advances
money! fromVtimo to_ time to
pile*. It most not bo supposed that
these goods era charged to the far
mer at caah price. If this were. the
• oh!paratirely innocent In gener
al argument cod discussion it
is customary to speek of tha credit
larlrb as being from 25 to 40 per
.rent liiiihcr than tbe cash price.
Tho difference is reslly much great
er. The Georgia Department of
Agriculture haa carefully investi
gated thia matter, and its published
statements that in North
Georgia baou-srll. .<n an average,
al 9 cents per pound, ra-h, aud 11
rente on time, an ailvanrr, whirb. If
we take into couslderatiuu the tiiur
tur which, the credit ia granted—
that l* from the dale of purchase un
til Ihe let of November—amounts
«o an average of 4i4 per cent per
tntnrtfi on the cash price. Corn
•ells et 64 cents per bnshel for cash
and 9U conte on time, an adrance on
t-ssh price of 81 2 per cent per an-
ithiu. For the whole Statu the av
••rage advance on caah prices is, for
par ceur per annum, and
for corn, 61 4 per cent. To buy on
•■retlii in October a bnshel of corn
worth 64 ceots and pay 90 cents Is
oquivelant to borrowing money at
10 per cent per month, or 480 per
cent per annum. There is no oceu-
jiatiou in tba world, except, per
haps Miccevtful bauk burglary, or
diamond digging, which can be
•niatte to pay a espital borrowed at
stlch a ruinous rate. How can it be
possible for the planters of the
Sonth to raise cotton at eight or
u(ne cents a pound, sell . It lor ten,
,nly tlioirexborbltaht provision bill,
still hnve anything left? Asa mat
ter of tact, rew of them do have
njy thing left. The factor, the buy

.r.mipreaees, the shipper and the
manufacturer levy their toll on tbe
cotton crop aud all get rich. The
pdor farmer aloue crow* poorer,
md his own lolly b the cause of hia
poverty. Atlanta handles every
yehr 120,000 bales of cotton. On ev
ery bale she levies various toll* aud
commissions amounting in the ag
gregate to 4158,000 or 1180.000 a
yinr for the city on its whole cotton
ndaiuem exdnsivo of manufactur
ing ana speculating. This money
goes into tho pockets of a limited
uuniber of men—a few hundred at
moat—in sums varyiug from one
hundred and fifteen thousand dol
lars or more. The two hundred
thousand cotton farmers of the
.State do not average more than ful
ly dollars apiece as their annual
sltaro ot the profits 'for the jest'*
work. If they raise seven hundred
and fifty thousand bales, selling for
thirty-seron' million fivo hundred
tlioutaud dollars, their share of the
profile at tbe liberal estimate of ten
cehts per pound would amount to
seven million and five hundred
tlionrfud dollars, or thirty-seven
dollars and fifty cents each. By
‘cubing their owu supplies and
buying for cash whatever was need
ed to supplement home their expen
ses could bo easily diminished ton
degree which would rednee the oost
or cotton low enough to allow a
profit of six cents per pound, or one
hundred and twelve dollars and fif
ty-nine cent* annual profit for each
planter in Georgia—a very large
average net gain on a single pro
duct
Tho remedy for the evils which
have grown op under the credit
system is obviously tbe introduction
and use among the farming com
