Before tliut time advertising wus kx
oiibitant, and since we have brought
prices down to living rates, we trust
tho public will not forget ora claims
fob patronage. Our prices are lower
than uny advertising medium before
the public. We have good reason to
believe wo have tho laikiest circula
tion in Western Georgia and East
ern Alabama. Our subscription list
is still increasing, and we say with a
pardOnablo pride, tliut the Daily
Times is read by more people in this
section than any other publication.
Whenever our merchants think
their business will be Increased by
advertising, we will bo glad to have
their patronage—for, with our large
circulation, we feel assured they will
roceive an equivalent for their invest
ment.

Tun New Orleans Bulletin, in speak

notion certainly prevails in this coun
try if that bo true. After the lobby

boa blessod good thing, it will bo in
order to abolish newspaper “inter

good measure. Wo don’t like pro

COTTON.
We give elsewhere an article from
tho New York Tribune on tho subject
of cotton. As i>ertiuent to tho sub
ject thus treated by tho Tribune, we
give below extracts from an article
that wo wrote for Dr How's Review, iu
1808:
Now, what would be the result of
a diminution of the American supply?
Foreign competition would ultimate
ly materially cripple its exportation
in a sensiblo scale. Cotton lias not
ceased to be King, but it lias ceased
to be an American autocrat. The
greatest maritime power in the world
has become Its producer as well as its
consumer. British India contains
1,460,000 square miles, witli a popula
tion of 150,000,000 inhabitants! The
importation of the products of India
amounts to £10,000,000 sterling (near
ly $200,000,000). The exportation from
England to India is half this amount.
The Hindoo Cypayes are of timid
character, and are inferior, morally
and physically, to the European race
that dominates tho vast country. Ex
tensive cotton culture demands this
relation between the employer and
employee. The gradual diminution
of cotton culture in the South, owing
to emancipation, is only a question of
time. In India the wealth of the
wealthiest of empires furnishes all
tlie appliances of modern science,
and strains every nerve to establish
a pre-eminence. They are rapidly
opening ways of communication, and
the problem before them is to pro
duce the largest supply at the least
cost.
The Egyptian cotton supply lias in
creased ten fold in ten years.
In Cochin, China, the French colo
nies, with a million industrious sub
jects, cultivate cotton successfully,
and on a gradually increasing scale.
It is readily seen tiiat tlie American
cotton culture needs encouragement
rather than the burden of taxation.
But leave the South to itself; let
prices seek their only natural limit,
which is tho only healthful one, and
our country can compete with the
combined efforts of all its rivals.
Look upon the map, trace out the
boundary lines of the late Confed-.
orate States, and no similar area in
the world can be found to possess su
perior capabilities. The noble rivers
with adequate water power to propel
tlie manufactories of the world;
mountain chains filled with iron,
coal, and other minerals; fertile val
leys adapted to almost every staple
product known to the wants of civili
zation ; extended plains and table
lands, free from tho rocky surface of;
the East, ig- the malaria of the West
ern prairies, and climes that unite j
the blessings of all. If left alone to !
carve out her destiny unfettered by
class legislation, that destiny will bo
unparalleled. If bound down by op
pressive legislation, our best citizens
will abandon cotton culture and leave
the country.
The South furnishes all the cotton
consumed in America. The cotton
supply from the South is the main
spring that runs the British manufac
tories of 2,210 establishments, 28,000,-
000 of spindles, 298,000 looms, and a
population of 387,210 British laborers.
In France, 300,000 laborers; in Aus
tria, 400,000 laborers are similarly en
gaged. To tax sueh an article out of
existence, or to materially cripple its
production, would lower American
commercial prestige, and New Eng
| land’s prosperity, more th/tn any oth
er tariff. It would be repetition
of the logic that animated the peas
ant to kill the hen that laid the gold- !
en eggs, as is recounted by tlie fabu-
I list. Theoretic deduction is a dan
| gerous fallacy when carried too far.

The Augusta ConstUuliimMlixt has a
good article upon the cost of living,
supplemented by one from the Now
York Times, on the subject of rentals.
The Constitutumalisl thinks that a
man who received a salary of SSOO
per annum before the war could af
ford to marry, but that such an act
now implies insanity. The New York
Times says that property erected and
sold in the past twelve years, will not
pay an intorest of seven per cent, on
the purchase money,
i The New York Il'orld explains the
reason of this, viz.: “The war was
followed by an immense national
I debt amounting, say iu round num
bers, to two billion live hundred mill
ions of dollars—entailing a large per
manent increase of taxation, and
by the issue of an inconvertible
paper currency affecting alike prices
in every branch of trade. Conse
quently five-sixths of the real estate
in New York City does not. now pay
the owner a net interest of six per
ct, or even its present depressed value,
and many are satisfied with 5 per et. In
’6O, taxation was one dollar sixty-nine
cents four hundred and eighty-one
thousandths of a cent; in 1871, it was,
two dollars and eighty cents; in 1875,
it will bo three dollars and three
cents, on every one hundred dollars
of assessed value. Take, for example,
a piece of property appraised in 1860,
at twenty-two thousand dollars; the
amount of tax throe hundred and
eighty-two dollars and seventy-five
cents. In 1874 the assessed value was
$48,000, the amount of tax being
increased to one thousand threo
hundred and forty-four dollars.
The rental in 1860, would have
amounted to two thousand five hun
dred dollars. Repairs would have
cost five hundred dollars per annum.
If the same rental was now chogred
what would be the result ? First, we
add taxes and repairs amounting to
gether to one thousand eight hun
dred and forty-six dollars; insurance
thirty dollars; Croton tax twenty-one
dollars; total disbursements, one
thousand eight hundred and ninety
five dollars. The balance, say six
hundred dollars, represents the net
income to the owner. The present
actual value of the property in ques
tion is, seventy-five thousand dollars
—considering that the assessed value
is only sixty per cent, of the real
value—one per cent, on that sum
would be seven hundred and fifty dol
lars, and this Is one hundred und fifty
dollars more than tho property
would, under present circumstances,
net the owner, If rented at tho same
rent as in tlie year 1860. Thus tlie
| owner would get less than one per
cent, on tho market value of Ids
property if we went back to the rent
als of 1800.”
“In the South tlie city real estate
assessed in 1800 at $22,000, would be
now assessed at SII,OOO, or, perhaps,
less. Real estate, generally, has de
preciated in equal or greater ratio,
with the appreciation of real estate
in the North from ISO 1 ) to 1575. Rents
are high in proportion to the assessed
value of property. Salaries are reg
ulated by the cost of living, where
they can be obtained at all. Many,
very many, of our host young men
would gladly give up their scanty
salaries if they thought that by going
to tho country they could earn a sub
sistence. Wages In tlie cotton coun
try are too low for that; and, if they
borrow money, they have to pay sueh
an enormous rate of interest as to
prohibit the prospect of advancement.
The most rigid economy is our only
hope of relief.

Bismarck not only raises the black

horrified. Tho scene presented on

upon their knees on the wharf in

commenced fruitlessly to throw into
the water whatever object they could
find to succor the drowning people.
Tho crowd swayed to and fro with

the explosion of tho old steamer Lou

letter from a Farmer.
L'PATOUS, MI’SCIXfF.E ('<>., (>A., I
April 24, 1875. |
; Dear Time x 1 notice in your paper
| of the 90th ult. that, you solicit eom
! municutions in regard to the planting
j interest. I will give you a brief syn
opsis of what is going on around old
| Upatoie.
Notwithstanding we have had an
j unfavorable spring for the prepara
| tion of the soil, the planting is about
| finished, with tho exception of a
jstnall amount of cotton, which would
have been done but for want of seed,
which was caused by the planters
using a great many under their corn.
There is much more corn planted this
year than last, as the farmers are
i now fully convinced that it is all folly
| to have their corn cribs in the West
| any longer (and besides it is not alto
gether as easy to obtain it on paper),
|as has been heretofore. This very
| thing, Mr. Editor, is what has placed
! the farmer in the condition that he is
|in to-day; for you can take my word
i for it, there is not a farmer to-day
| who can make a dollar planting and
i pay the enormous per cent, for money
! that the planter has been forced to
pay in order to get every bushel of
j corn and every pound of bacon con
sumed.
i Tho crops around old Upatoie are
j about equally divided. Some few
| may have a few more acres in cotton
| than corn. The stand of corn is very
! good, and has about recovered from
j the effects of the frost, which did
I much damage to gardens as well as
j corn. As to cotton, there is very little
| up, as the cold rains or last week
j have caused the ground to be very
[cold, which has retarded its growth.
I know one man in this section whi
j says he intends to make everything
this year to eat. He has his crop
j divided thus: 55 acres in cotton, the
I same in corn, 25 in sugar cane, 40 in
| peas, 4 in sweet potatoes, 1 in rice, 1
■in Irish potatoes, and 5 in water-
melons. He for one it determined to
make home self-sustaining regurdless
of tho West.
1 will write you ugain before a great
while, and lot you know how crops
are progressing. The Times Is the
paper taken iu this section. You
publish a good paper, and it suits us
all -and whatever It contains may
be depended on as reliable. I hope
the Times will continue to flourish.

COTTON.
l.oulftlnna vcr*u* Hru/.H,
The bulk of the cotton crop of 1874
bus now been marketed at the ship
ping ports, and tho broad results can
be as well stated at this time as when
tin; accurate statistics have been com
piled. The crop will be less by three
hundred thousand bales than that of
last year, and it is not unlikely that
tlie deficiency will be greater than
our estimate. Tho crop of the year
1872 was 4,170,(88) bales, which, added
to the Egyptian, East Indian, and
Barzilian production, was more than
sufficient to supply the demand for
manufacture for the world’s con
sumption. Asa consequence, prices
this year have ruled low, and the
stock of raw material is extremely
large.
Cotton, like wheat and gold, is un
article tlie price of which is the result
of the demand and supply of the
whole civilized world. In other words,
Its value is cosmopolitan. The im
mediate rivals of tiie United States
for the supply of the European de
mand are Egypt and Brazil. The cot
ton of these countries is similar to
ours and sells in Liverpool ut an j
average price i>er pound a little high
er than tliut of the United States. A
growth of the plant in Africa, India
and South America received a power
ful impulse when the supply from the
Southern States was interrupted by
tlie war. The start then taken by our
rivals has not been lost. Indeed the
cultivation of the staple in tin- Coun
tries we have named lias been stead
ily and successfully extended, and the
statistics of tlie increase are so start
ling that, we cannot omit to give them.
For the five years beginning with 1850
and ending with 1860, the quantity of
cotton imported into Great Britain
from all countries was 5,544,000,000
pounds, of which 4,346,000,000 came
from the United States, 110,000,000
from Brazil, and 176,000,000 from
Egypt. Fifteen times as much cot
ton was then received from the
United States as from Egypt and Bra
zil together.
in the five years from 1802 to 1800
inclusive the supply from Brazil in
creased to 207,18(0,(88) pounds, and
that from Egypt to 573,(88),n0n. This
period covered the cotton famine
caused by our war. In tlie five years
ended with 1871, tho amount received
by Great Britain from all countries
was 7,629,000,030pounds, and from the
United States 4,097,188),(88) pounds, or
249,000,000 pounds less than in the
five years ending with 1860. The sup
ply from Brazil was 4ls,U(K),Oonpounds
and that from Egypt 874,*88),(H8i, and
from both Egypt and Brazil combined,
1,289,(8i,i88) pounds, or nearly live
times the quantity IniuorteU in tin
period of five years ended with 18(8),
and close on to one-third the quan
tity received from tlie C nited States,
against only one-fifteenth, the pro
portion fifteen years ago. From
t hese statistics we conclude that it is
important to spare no effort to give
the cotton States good government.
The operation of such governments
as those of Louisiana and South
(Carolina must tend to increase the
eost of growing cotton, and to give
the Egyptians and Braziliausadvan
tages over us which they ought not
to have.
That the production of cotton, un
der tlie circumstances which have of
late years attended its culture, is not
very remunerative, is indicated, we
think, by the rapidity with which tie
crop lias been fowarded to the ports.
Those who founded their estimates
of the crops of 1873 and 1871 on the
receipts at the ports in the first,
months of the season fell into the er
ror of overestimating the supply.
During the whole of the current cot
ton year prices have been low and un
satisfactory to the planter. Why
then did lie hurry his cotton to tin
seaboard V Not unlikely because lie
was poor and in debt, and was forced
to sell. When an article is produced
at a loss it is merely a question of
time when tho production of if will
bo curtailed. Last year the weather
was favorable for making a large cot
ton crop, but wo see that tlie total
yield is three hundred thousand bales
ii*-s than that of 1873.
Whether the Egyptian anil Brazil
ian planters are better off than those
|of Louisana and South Carolina we
i have no means of deciding. We have
( before us the account of the foreign
j trade of Great Britain for the first
two months of 1875, from which we
i learn tiiat tho imports of cotton from
1 the United States were 2,151,(88) ewts.
I in 1875, a failing off of 289,(88) ewts.
The imports from Egypt were 401,1881
ewts. in 1874, and 440,000 ewts. in 1875,
an increase of 39,(88) ewts. ; and the
imports from Brazil were 119,0(8) ewts.
iu 1874, and 132,(8H1 ewts. in 1575, an in
| crease of 13,<X8) ewts.
The growth of cotton in Egypt and
, Brazil is undoubtedly capable of great
I extension, and it is a question wheth
;or Congress and the Administration
; have not for two or three years past
given powerful encouragement to the
increase of planting in those distant
countries.
