An Insult,.
The gratuitous insult being of
fered lo Ihe Alliance by certain}
parties, that toe alliance is encour-1
aging its members not to pay their I
debts, is false in every point and j
ought to be effectually resented by ’
every true allianceman.
“Because, forsooth, we say “do
not rush your cotton to market,”
we must be accused of opposition
to honest payment ot debts. Those
do tiers who are having their circu
lars, iii which they advise early
sale of cotton, extensively publish
ed, are directly interested in the
.purchase of cotton and of course it
; is to their interest to buy it as low
ias possible. The farmer wants his
| cotton lo bring a good price. Of
J course this is contrary to fho inter
est of the buyer and lie wants to
; force early sales bv saying the far
mer is morally bound to sell Iris
• A
' cotton as soon .\s it can be picked
and ginnevl. There are no obliga
tions maturing before October and
most of them on October i 5t i and
Nov. Ist. Yv 1 1 ; i our Na I ion r ICo t -
ton Committee says ; ‘s di no cotton
in September*’ they mean every
word of if and h yve the best of rea
son for it. If any one claims that
this smells of dishonesty, it is be
cause the gambler lias a no -
rrhich is only uso to such odors ami
can't recognize any other. There
are tvo sides to every question and
if the farmers want to have a little
to say about the price of l heir cot
ton this season, it is no more than
their right. They certainly had in
voice in pricing the goods they
have bought, cn time or tho guano
they have foolishly signed away
their manhood for, or the money
they borrowed with all the inter
est the law allowed added on and -i
heavy discount, which the law did
not allow taken off. No, they had
no voice in all these matters for
they veers in a light and the wor.-t
kind of a tight at that. Now the
merchant, the guano dealer, the
banker ami ihe warehousemen have
their obligations fer these things an i
lie obligation includes all the profits
which could ie tacked onto whai the
fanner pot. Is he morally bound 10
rush Lis cettoa into market and sell is
for less t: an the cost of production
simply to gpalify the dealers, when ho
knows that such folly, would leave him
ia debt? Is it not Lis duty 10 get ali
he can for his cotton? If by bolding
ir for awhile ho can realize more mon
ey for it and t o able to par oif his
debt and be freo, is it not bis duly to
do bo?
