The Song of thc "Decanter

From, the Banner of the South * Plant?,
en" Journal, .
- On Time."
The worst jeal ure that pervades
the whole agriculture of the South
now, and since the war. is the uni
versal disposition, o? planters to go
in debt for everything required to
run a farm,, instead., of trying faith
fully luther to produce them at home
or do without. The extent to which
che practice is carried involves really
the 'mortgaging of 'the whole crop,
*nd reduces farming to a mere and
strict speculation. Our average eea
" sons include a long drouth in Sum
mer which renders the provision crops
very precarious pn all uplands ; the
pric? to be "obtained for cotton is
widely varying every, year, and never |
within the control of. the planter.
Therefore' where all the necessary
supplies of the farm have to be
bought, and'bought, fro, on credit,
with the unavoidable addition of a
large per centage on price to cover'
interest and risk, th? result of the
years crop, is always extremely doubt
ful, whether it will pay the expenses
incurred or not. This is speculation,
pure and simple, and one in which
all the chances are against* the plan
ter. He assumes all the risk, fur
nishes the land, the teams, and the
labor ; and long, arduous and unre
mitting labor it is, from January till
Deeember. . lie takes the chances of
vain and drouth, and storm and wind,
of mst, smut', blight, mildew, bud
worm, cut worm, boll worm, army
worm, crow?, moles and thieves.
Whatever is lost by all these causes
is his loss, and his only, unless all his
assets are, not enough to cover 'the
debts he has contracted.
The money lender and commission
merchant hold their lien on his crops
of corn, fodder, cotton, peas and hay;
and their mortgage on all the mules
and oxen and wagons, plows and hoes
and axes. And if the crop fails and
all these are inadequate to pay the
advances, they have still equal rights
with other creditors, and may proceed
by common law to absorb all the
property in lands, stock, and other
pelf, of which the unfortunate specu
lative farmer may be possessed. He
can take refuge only in insolvency
and the homestead. This is the ac
tual chance assumed by every planter
who enters on the year's work by in
curring a debt for provisions and fer
tilizer .. equal to a moiety of what his
farm ito-cap?ble of producing, with
tho Iabur and means available ; and
this perhaps is the chance actually
assumed by more than half the plant
ers in Georgia ?nd Carolina to-day.
Imtnediutely upon the close of the
war, when our farros were rici down
tb the very p-'int of abandonment .ind
the country was utterly devoid of
lueaui of recuperation, borrowing was
resorted to as a temporary measure,
only to g?t a start of food and stock,
until a crop could be matured. For
such a purpose, and at such a time it
was justifiable to anticipate to a small
extent. But the practice has not
been dropped : it has been continued
from year to year and to a greater
extent every year ; and the delusion
. is ever before us ;-one big crop. of
cotton at a high price will set us even.
Food crops are neglected, raisir.2
stock, and saving manure and all the
wise economies of the farm, small
though many of them be, are utterly
.slighted, and every effort is concen
trated on cotfjbB. . The -only trouble
about the cotton is we never get
what we want for it: and too often
it is the case that all $he .produce of
the farm wou>d 'not pay for the ad
vances m:.dii in the year.
The planter who borrows, assumes
to pay back the money with interest,
and make a profit for himself beside,
out ot the year's crop. That is
he&xy undertaking in any business.
There are not many things to be dune
on borrowed money that wilt pay in
terest on the capital and another liv
ing profit beside. Certainly, of all
ventures in the world, the planter
. assumes more risks than almost' any
o?ier.
" On time" are such common words
in every mouth for five years past,
teat the meaning of them is forgot
ten. Hekwho lends money, or ad
. vanees-or'accepts,* risks'losing his
means only in case the borrower be
comes wholly bankrupt. 'His liens
cover crops auristocks, and with them
together he can be repaid to a large
extent OT wholly, ?though nothing is
left; of "the y ear's labor for tin? plant
er, ?o buy "on time" is to ?pendin
advance what it is only hoped will
be made on the crop,-hut when
spent, to be repaid'- whether made or
not. Can any business, prosper or be
.profitable, that involves ail!the,rls*ks
'. of tberyeaf ra the fara; TO?'dW toe
iarge intereet'or commission charged
.0? money loaned? There are not
;manr business men to be found who
would ?assume such risks, and hope to
.?make prc&s out of them. !
We assert jthatthe' worst feature
?tkat pervades .tfc* planting interests
of the country is-tao universal dispo
sition on the.part , oijph^n+ers to spend
their crops before they are made. 3n
be willing to do this, e.ven !
thousand c?nces in his favor, .wq-j^J
he an imprudence. How much worse '
than imprudence is it then, when
every means and all sources are re
sorted tor.on or from which. t<j.t^hor
row m?ney, or buy something odjijwie.
There is no longer any abhorrence of j
. debt. It is now sought after, rind nbt
Avoided. No one is content even ta )
do'well on his own mea.T.s, if he can
Pagine a chance to do better by^bor

Even Life Insurance agents have been
known to issue insurance " on time
the crops. . .
There can be no thrift, nor an/ ac
cumulation of: means, no hetterin/g
one's condition. from year to year
while this practice pr?v?i s, lsoth
ing can ever be saved,'while one can
spSnd it be'fore it is made,. Credit
must be forsaken'by planters; or abol
ished by dealers, "so that it shal? no
longer be resorted to" as a means of
living Every man should be com
pelled tolive on Hs own produce,
auc? everyone to build up his own
prosperiiy .before we can hope .to see
our farmers on a safe footing, and
?rrowing yearly in means and resour
ces, "asjfaithful. tillers'of'the sqil in
every land and age have done.
In speaking of the.vital importance
Lof public educfttionva^ a means of
perpetuating 'good government,- the
Baltimore Sun forcibly and trnthfully
remarks :
" Nations have declined when they
have arrived at a certain^ degree of
wealth, but it was because intelligence
wa? lost in the effeteness induced by
the idleness of wealth. It- is'true
that, at the same time, the sejenc?s
and the arts flourished, but that was
conspicuous .because their cultivation
was confined to a few. Intelligence
never was the cause . of national de
cline, but ignorance has always been,
for the obviout fact that ignorance is
finally controlled by tyranny. It
ought to be t-he duty of every citizen
tb go direct'.y to the root of the evil
.and. eradicate the ignorance' that
scatters j ts poison through the whole
.body politic. Ignorance of the f?;ter
results either in ignorance or corfup'
tion of the law-maker, and depravity
and misrule must follow. Unfortu
nately, questions at jssue between par
ties for the last decade^have, heen more
of prejudice, .than of great principles,
and even the intelligence of the coun
try has not always,, p/ late years ex?r
cised its .capacity in determining the
proper policy. If this prejudice has
perverted to ?'-'larg? extent the
thoughtful'?nd i?teMrg?nt, how much
I Inore so has it controlled' the igno
rant, especially when that ignorance
happened to bc more general with
the very class about whom this
prejudice has in one and another way
hart its origin.' The result has ' been
official ignorance, general corruption
and a waste of the hard earnings of
the people.. Thus it ?3?!h?t ignorance
is public pe.i;.'
' Carpet Baggers. "
Theodore Ti.lton in a late number
of his paper say? : - .
The worst fire-eaters; the Irardest
slav?-owners, the most cruel slave
drivers; and the politicians who made
thc most trouble iii the South before
the war, were northern men-.' The
most scurrilous paper? printed in the
South like the Newbern Times, are
edited by Northern adventurers. Con
sidering these facts, ih connection
wifh the fact that- the carpet b?g
governments have robbe i the South
of about two hundred million dollars,
it is wonderful that Southerners look
somewhat coldly upon an increase
of Northern immigration. Where is
the Northern community that would
welcome the population of Blackwell's
Island, and put a premium upon the
immigrant^ of Sing Sing? Irv the
broth yourself b?fore complaining
that the Southerners stomach cfoe.s not
take kindly to toad^onp. .
A JOKE OX A TAILOR.-In Boston,
manv vears ago; there lived fas there
do now. we venturo to say,) two
young fellow*, nuber waggish in their
ways, hnxl who were in the ' habit* of
patronizing rather extensively a tailor
by "the hame "Ol' Smith. Well-, on*
day,-'into iris >ht>p thesn-two young
bloods strollc-1. Says one of thom :
u Smith, we've been malting a bot.
Now, we warft you to make each of
us-a snit of-clothes ; wait Hil the bet
is decided, and tlie oiie that loses will
pay 1 he whole." " Certainly, gentle
men ; I shall be most happy to serve
you," says Smith, and forthwith their
measures were -taken, and in due
time the clothes were sent home. -A
month or two passed by, and yet our
friend, the tailor, saw nothing of his
customers. One day, however, he
met them, and thinking it almost
time the bet wad decided, he made
up to them and asked how their cloth
ing fitted. "Ohl'' excellently, says
one : " by the by, Smith, our bet isn't
decided yet." " Ah !" says Smith,
"what is*it?" .""Why, I bet that
when Bunker Hill Monument falls it
will full toward thc South ! B'll, here,
took me up, and "When the bet is de
cided we'll call arid pay^you that lit
tle bill." Smiths face stretched to
double its usual length, but he soon
recovered his wonted good humor.
