How to liaise Cheap Cotton.
Tlit' JJccemher number of the A'avil
cm (MUicu'or lias an excellent articl
r?n this subject, in which, assumin
that the day for high-priced cottou ha
parsed, owing, among other causes, t
the increased production amour
amounting since the war to some l\v
millions of bales, the editor urges the
the only hope tor the successful eultivj
tion of the great staple in the futun
must, depend upon reducing the cost <
production, and enters into a stateimM:
of tin; ways and means l>y which Thi
may brought about.
To the production of cheap cotton, h
thinks three conditions are ncces-ary
the decrease of the labor of raising it
home raised provisions; no bono we
capital. Labor can only be reduced b
a proper rotation of crops, better prep;
ration of land, and substitution of mr
uure for labor?its other words, by cult
vrtting less land, and doing the wor
more thoroughly. J>y raisingprovisioii
at home, one-half or two-thirds of tii
cost of feeding farm stack will be savet
as the small grains require but lilt)
labor for their cultivation. l?y the us
of one's own capital we avoid the ruii
ous system of giving liens for nioue
borrowed at from 15 to 50 per cent., an
all the train of attendant evils.
As the writer remarks, it is the cos
of production compared with the sell in
price, which determines loss or proli
and if the price be only ten cents an
the coat he only llvo cents; a liandsoni
profit is realised, lie thus wncludt
liis article
"As it appears to us, tin? only hope c
the cotton raiser is in diminishing i:
cost?lie cannot force i! up to liig
prices. We have indicate*! whatappeji
to lie the plain, practicable means (
doing this, and, in conclusion, wi
brirliy recapitulate, reversing the ordt'
of discussion. If a farmer has sum1
means, let him he content to operate o
asmallscalt?cultivating such crops n
require small outlay?making cotto
strictly a surplus crop?raising provi
sions of all kinds, and, if practicabh
meat also?raising mules, horses, an
otiier stock, adapted to his circum
stances?planting his best lands, an
manuring these as highly as prtidenc
will justify, substituting fertilizers fo
i..vi.i* it ( . in ho safelv done.
In using the term "fertilizers," w
would not lit* undestood as referring t
commercial only ?we use the term in it
broadest sense, and include manurh
substances of all kinds, the cost of wliie
will warrant Lheir use. JJut il is nece.>
saiv to watch the expense account vcr
closely?one often thinks an article t
be cheap when it is really very deal
The cheapest commercial fertilize!
(judging from theeo.->t per ton) is oftc
tlie dearest? the biggest pile of compo?
is not always the most valuable, whe
the labor to gather up the material an
spread it in the fields is considcrci
Every particle of manure about a fun
should be saved when practicable, bu
let it I?; done in the o Ilea pest niannei
handled as Jit!le as possible, and train
ferred at ones* from tlie stable to th
furrow. Supplement cheap home-mad
manure with best commercial fertilizer:
using such quantities of the Jailer a
depth of soil and amount of vegetabl
matter in it will justify. Great judj.
ment and eau'ioy are necessary toadjtu
these points, but when adjusted tne be.
results will surely follow.
lieu ting land for so much cotton, i
first blush, appears to solve the vexe
problem of costly labor. JJutasidefroi
the insuperable objections arising froi
the landlord having to make advanet
and run heavy risks, the mismauag<
ment and deterioration of land und(
tliis system makes it by far the moi
costly which can be pursued. JN'o sy:

take precedence of labor, "manurchin

England and the Suez Canal.
LoNtJox, November 2(5.?The Timi
in its financial article to-day says, in n
lation to the purchase by Groat J.ritai
of 177,OUD.shares of the ?Suez Canal: "
breathing time, most essential to Egvp
is secured. The value of the purchai
to England is great, and probably wi
he taken by the public to mean mo
than it does. Dy buying up the rest i
the shares and paying the two loai
raised by the company, amounting
4,800,000, England would be possess*
of the entire property. The advantai
of the bargain materially isasccondai
question. The purchase was made fi
political reasons, therefore the ijnpo
tance of the step is hardly to be oveir
ted. For a considerable time il caniii
bo pecuniarily profitable, unless J^iij

A I)op Tax.
The Tonncsseo Legislature last ye;
nassed a law imposing a tax of one dc
litr on each dog in the .State, and retun
under the law show that the dogs ou
number the men fully two to one, gi
ing about 22-">,()()!) dogs for the who
.Slate; and estimating the cost of eac
dog at five cents a day, we arrive at tl
immenscsum of four millions of d<
lars as the annual tax for the support
their dogs. This estimate leaves out
the calculation the great loss to prope
ty by the killing of sheep.
The Atlanta Const) tut ion in view
these facts urges a policy in reference
(Jeorgia which is equally applicable
South Carolina. If a specific tax <
dogs be unconstitutional, let the Co
stitution be amended in this particula
"The case preseutcd by the foreyoii

The New Supply Bill.
>-| The following synopsis of the new
n Supply Bill, now pending before the
i- House, and a comparison of its provis
i- ions with those of the bill vetoed by the j
it j Governor, we extract from the Union
i- J Herald:
ti The regular supply bill, reported on
jj Monday from the ways and means corn
(11 mittee, calls for an aggregate tax for all
' State expenses of ten and a half mills.
This is just two-thirds of a mill in ex
eess of the recommendation of the Gov
ernor, and fully that amount in excess
of the real wants of the public. The
bill is, therefore, a mistake and a wrong
to that extent.
The bill also reported from the com
mittee, covering the sections of the ve
toed hill from the seventh to the twelfth
inclusive, proposes to pay the indebted
ness named in those sections in two
years. This again is wrong. The term
should be three or four years.
The result is that the regular tax act
will call for ten and a half mills, and
the bill covering the past indebtedness
will call for one and five-eighths mills,
making the total twelve and one-eighth
mills for the present-year. The Gover
nor's recommendations would have re
I 1 il.: . .........ill t,i oliniit fpn and
jUUCt'U nun aiuuum. cu Uuw..? ...
'e I one-fifth mills.
c*j The extra one-tenth of a mill taken
*j from the deficiency levy and added to
p." I the levy for legislative expenses is a
specially objectionable feature, adnuj.
ting of no excuse which we can see. ^
'I'llis is the dark side; but justice is
justice, ami we state the bright side.
The vetoed tax bill levied an aggregate
of thirteen mills.
The first effect of the Governor's stand
against that bill is that the aggregate
amount is reduced by seven-eighths of
a mill.
The next result is that the bill now
reported provides, as the vetoed bill did
not, for the full payment of all appro
priations 011 the basis, of last year's ap
propriations.
The third result is that all the ordi
nary deficiencies of last year and the
special deficiencies caused by the failure
of the .South Carolina bank and trust
company are provided for in full,
whereas the vetoed bill provided for
only one-half of the ordinary deficien
cies and none of the special deficiencies.
The fourth result is that the item of
deficiencies will wholly disappear in the
lax bill for the coining year, thereby re
ducing the levy two mills.
The fifth result is that the floating
debt of the fcJtato is put in process of
liquidation.
These are the leading results accom
plished even by the tax bill as now re
ported. They might be?they ought to
be?better, but they show clearly how
much good has been done by the firm
and reasonable stand taken by tho Gov
ernor. These results will be appreciated
by the people, though they will still
hold the Gcueral Assembly to their just
responsibility for nut securing better
results when those results were eleailv
and specifically pointed out to them in
the message of the Governor.
