I have hero i>. few thoughts which I
would like to submit with only the wish
to fix attention on the fact that our uus
u«e of a monopoly, the most giguutic
! and the most unrestricted ever known
i iii tlnis world, lias come very near sliip
j wrecking our agricultural fortunes,
l Only m the last few years are we
j j learning it only to since "tack witlx have the commenced wind,” and to
is we
more seriously study the various infla
euces affecting our great commodity
that we are learning to steer < .ear of
the breaker?, on winch the “ail cotton”
man i, bound to meet disaster.

0 y I can remember that this cotton
crop problem lias engaged a large part
of the intention of farmers, and has oe
copied au important place in nil agri
cultural discussions at the conventions,
in the towns, at the cross roans
au ,i around the farm firesides. But di
rectly after the war this subject was
surrounded by false conditions. The
stock Of cotton on hand was reduced
beyond all precedent and our better
judgment was obscured by the high
price of cotton—50 cents in gold, equal
to u io iu greenbacks.
MISCSI! OF OUK GREAT MONOPOLY.
The temptation to tiie impoverished
farmer to borrow money to invest iu
liighpriced miiics, high [triced fertilizers
and liighpriced provisions to raise high
priced cotton was too alluring to be re¬
sisted. Motley was plentiful and easy
to obtain, and many are today strug¬ tits
gling under the burdens imposed by
mistakes of those first days “after the
war,” followed by years of uncertainty
and doubt. Many have lost all iu the
eager race and have awakened too late
to the fact that a cotton crop, unsup¬
ported by other necessary crops, i; a de¬
lusion and a snare. Others, more far
seeing and realizing in time the mistake
of putting “all their eggs iu one bas¬
ket,” have, by a system of diversified
farming and rotation of crops, been
able to gain a firmer foothold and today
have the promising prospect of a suc¬
cessful and remunerative business. Tney

The greatest mistake that farmers .
tvo
at the south have made is that wo have
presumed 0:1 the prestige winch our
monopoly has given us in the markets
of the worid, and have supposed that
our cotton was able, unsupported, t<>
lift us over ail obstacles and out of all
difficulties.
