The Palmers Won't Hold end Won't Cut, i'hinirs Mr Lovermg. Mr. Editor:?Pleasq, publish the following extracts from a speech delivered in tho House of Representatives on January 16th by the Hoc William C. Lororing, a congressman from Massachusetts who is a great cotton manufacture er. Let tho farmers read it and soe what some of the spinners aro xpoctiog tbcm to do?then let thorn proceed to show Mr T.nr?r_ tug and all who think like him whether or not they will hold their cot loo and cut the acreage: "The spinner? of the world have already takon eight-tenths of their year's consumption of American cotton, and it will require hardly two and a half million bales more to carry them to the next crop. They will take their time and pick this up at their leisure, know ing that after they have taken all they need there will bo as much more left to he carried over. "Some of tho planters, in the first flush of disappointment ai not receiving a high price for their cotton, may withhold it, but as suiq as tho sun sets it is going to be for sale. "If they can not got 8 cents they will take less. If they can not get 7 cents they will take less. If thsy can not get G cents they will take less. "The spinner realizes this, and knows perfectly well it would bo better for him to let the shrinkage and all carrying over charges be borne by the plantor. "Cotton is not low today. It is only relatively low as compared with last year. [He WOUld think it was low if he had made it atul had it to sell "Wo hear a great deal said about concerted movement to carry cottoa in the south. Of courso, farmers have a right to hold back their cotton. They have a right to cut down their acreage next season, but wo may rest assured they will do neither of these two ihings to any gieat extent. "As to cutting down the acreage, that generally means that the oiher fellow Is going to cut down his acreage and 1 am not going to cat down mine, or, if I am under any pressure induced to cut down a iu\y h'jkjh. it. means ma; l snail use every possiblo means to cultivate and raise tho largest crop on the smallest acreage, "I am credibly iuformed that it is possible to raise a bale to an acre, and in some cases 2 bales to the acre. So I do not look for much reduction in the crop anoth* er year, excepting it may come from the vicissitudes of the weath er. It ceitainly will not come through efforts of individual planters. W. C.
