Tbr Canae o( Naulbtm Poverty. ■$ First, then, I rvssien a* ono of the ■easons of our continued poverty and Brant of progress the fact that wo do not produce enough of what wo eat and wear, and buy too much on cred it To present an elaborate argument defence of this position would re quire a volume. Ono or two practical &cts will suffioo to prove my asser tion true, and the answer that every firmer will give when applying the j Hoa to his own cage will corroborate I these facts. ■la 1839, the South produced over Hire million bales of cotton, of four j Hundred pounds each, which sold at i Xn average of eleven cents per pound, | Menlizing less than $25(1,000,000. ■in 1800, the cotton crop of the South \ ■ns less than three and a half mil-1 dttons of bales, four hundred pounds I ■each, and sold for an average of t wen- i ty-two cents i>er pound, realizing ■00,000,000. The cotton crop of 1873 reached con- j sidcrably beyond four millions of bales and sold for less than $175,000,- 000 And this has been the history of our ero[is annually In the past; [ have we any reason to anticipate that * similar effects will not follow the same course in the future? Then if the nil cotton policy, or a large cotton i crop has actually tended to iuipover-1 ish us as a people, who will assert the ! same policy will not have similar ef-1 fects upon individuals? On paper it can be easily proven, that cotton as a crop, will pnv bet (er | than any or all other products, lint these figures are far more reliable , than the oft-abused labor of t he coun try. There is no question but that! individual farmers, huviug lauds pc-, culiurly adapted to the growth of cot-1 ;4on can not more money growing cot .*ou and buying breadstuiis and prov- j Bnder than by cultivating a diversity of crops, lint it is an egregious error to think that because A. ]i or (’, can ■ do so, therefore every Southern farm er can pursue the same course, antic ipating the same result. j Through a series of years, regard less of the price of cotton, tl reiter ate here what I have often asserted before in these ]>ages on ninety-nine out of every hundred Southern far mers, it is cheaper to grow oats for plough animals than to haul corn from the nearest depot, because oats will follow < otton with no cost but the aeed and harvesting, both of which can lie paid for every winter in the mutton that can be fatted on the growing crops; il is cheaper to raise all the pork the farmer’s family can consume annually than to buy bacon at ten cents per pound ; il is cheaper to grow a pound of wool, up to a certain number of pounds of cotton; and it is oheatier to grow anything tlint can possibly lie grown on a farm than to bay it on a credit. ? Few farmers understand properly What is meant by “buying on it credit." £ They know they get the article and pay more for it than if they paid eca-h, but they never once calculate the premium of percentage they are paying for this privilege of getting ■me or “credit.” Let me illustrate. The average farmer may raise enough "to do him till tin* Ist of April, lly fjthut time he has to buy, but having no cash, thouoh good credit, ho goes ilo the store and buys bacon at 15c per pound, payable on the first of No fVembor following. He learns the cash “price is 125 cents per pound, but necessity compels him to buy on a credit. He thus pays 21 cents per pound tor the privilege o! buying on a credit, or one-sixth the price to be paid, which is simply lttij per cent, per annum for the use of money. But he buys iu April and has to pay the Ist of November, only eight months’ credit, and pays twenty-jlre per rail, per annum toe the use of money. What farmer can ufford to do this and live ? What is applicable to bacon is to corn, hay, flour, imple ments, mules and every article the farmer buys on a credit, It Is estimated that the average in acrease of agricultural wealth of the •Xlnited States Is about four per cent, per uiiniini. The average increase of Agricultural wealth in any Southern |Btate, annually since the war, lias Riot been one per cent, Indeed, some of the Suites have traveled the other froad, and are now lost in the wilder ness of debt; and there is no more patent cause for this condition of -things than that, of buying on a cred it the necessaries of life to enable them to grow cotton, and this, too, very frequently at a cost that exceeds Its market value. There Isan infatu ation about this cultivation of cotton that amounts to an hallucination. Can there be nothing invented to so far dispel it as to induce the Southern farmer to live more within himself and less at t ho mercy of the Hhyloeks of the land ? Con. D. Wtatt A ikkn. f- Tlnrnt Carolinian for February. — ♦ • __— The Irrepressible (onnil'l. Until the present century, all of the schools of medicine wore allopathic sbr antipathic, and the leading plan] of treatment was to euro one disease ;by producing a different or an oppo site disease. Then came Homeopa thy, with its “stmi/ia,” and its Infln ptesiraal potencies, proposing as as [its “law of cure,” to supersede the foriginal disease by producing a [similar drug disease. About the I same time the Botanic and Thom (eonian systems having obtained public recognition ami consider able Patronage, were systema tized Into the Eclectic school, repudiating the more violent drugs and destructives of allopathy. Lastly was proclaimed the anti drug, oh drug or Hygienic system, whieli declares that all drug medical systems are erroneous in theory, and that the practice of poisoning per sons because they are sick, cannot be tile true healing art. Moreover, it claims to have better success in res toring chronic invalids to health, and in treating all kinds of acute diseases, than is claimed, or ever was claimed, for any drug system ever known on earth.’ Now one of two tilings is true. The drug medical system is either right or wrong. If right, the Hygienic sys tem is wrong. The issue is plain, yes or no. The two systems are essential ly antagonistic. They cannot co-exist. They admit of no compromise. One must kill the other, or be killed by it. All attempts that have been made to teach both systems in the same school have been unmitigated farces. And the fact that one or the other system cannot survive a critical ex amination is what the advocates of both systems are beginning to see. The allopaths, homeopaths, and eclectcis have been trying to kill each other’s system for thirty years or more. But as the last two have se cured a permanent foothold iu pub lic estimation, and established their colleges, the, three, making a virtue of necessity, have concluded to let each other after its own fashion, and make a combined effort to suppress the Hygienic system. This may seem like a very uDeaqual controversy, in view of the imfmsing array of numbers, with the prestige of all the traditions of the ages on one side, and the few, scattered, and un popular forces on the other. But who can say that some stripling of Isreal may not go forth to battle, and, with asmooth stone of truth, smite the Goliath of error on the forehead, and put the whole Philistine host, to flight.
