Moro Corn, Loss Cotton.
Tho Hon. Ron. Torroll, in his ad
dresses throughout tho State, lias
uniformly advised tho farmors to
hold their cotton until thoy cnn get
thoir prices and mako a'reasonable
profit on thoir labor and investment
in the cultivation of thoir crops.
Wo bolievo tho farmers should hrtvo
a higher prico for their cotton, and
to sccuro this end, in the first placo,
thoro must bo concort of action.
Without this but littlo can bo ac
complished in this vital matter.
Would not tho polioy of less cot
ton and moro corn be thc wiso ono
for tho farmers to adopt ? Ry rais
ing less cotton they could grow moro
corn and small grain, thus making
their own meat and bread at home.
With less cotton tho prico would ne
cessarily bo higher, and combination
and salo through the Allianco would
onablo tho farmors to obtain a roa
sonable price for tho amount raised.
Make cotton thc surplus crop, in
stead of the main one, as now. Thc
price will continuo to bo regulated
by tho law of supply and demand,
and will necessarily then bo higher.
Our farmers never will bo entirely
independent of trusts, combines and
monopolies, until they make every
thing needed on tho farm, and can
livo tho whole yoar round on the
produco of thoir own fields. When
this is accomplished, they can stand
up in their manhood and indepen
dence, and bid bold defiance to all
tho wily machinations of tho wicked
trusts and combines. This is the
goal for which tho farmers and their
friends aro striving ; to roach it Is
the design of the powerful organiza
tion known as the Farmers' Allianco.
It scorns to us that by concert of
action, which can bo readily dis
cussed and agreed on in the many
sub-Alliances, the farmers can regu
lato thc acreago to bc planted in cot
ton throughout thc Southern States.
Thoy can also regulate tho salo at
snob time and prico ns will suit them
when they have sufficient of other
crops to make them independent of
tho cotton crop. But until this is
done, no amount of buncombe stump
speeches can better thc farmers' con
dition in this respect. It is an in
tensely practical question, reaching
oven to tho necessities of life.
Therefore it must bo dealt with in a
practical way.
Tho World's Fair of 1802.
The proposed World's Fair, to be
held in 1892, is in celebration of the
landing of Columbus and the dis
covery of America. This exposition
will undoubtedly be the most exten
sive and magnificent industrial dis
play of modern times-a grand in
ternational gathering, representative
of all nations-an exhibition of the
world's progress and industrial pro
ductions. But ehiofly it will bo an
exposition of thc arts and industries
of the United States; of the pro
ductive resources and power of tho
country ; of the force and energy of
our people.
Tho location will be determined by
Congress during thc next session,
but in advance it is important that
tho question should bo considered
and canvassed in tho minds of the
people. Thc claims of four cities
for tho location of thc Fair aro now
being considered-New York, Wash
ington, Chicago and St. Louis-and
one of thom will certainly be se
lected.
To the South and Sout h wost, wc
bolievo the selection of St. Louis will
bo attended with special and weighty
advantages. This city is more fairly
and fully representative of Southern
trade, industries and population than
any of thc other cities. Again, thc
position of tho city is more central
and convenient for tho groat body
of the people of the whole country.
When wc consider tho necessity for
a central location, in order to meet
thc demands of all sections of tho
country, St. Louis offers many pe
culiar advantages, lt is said to bc
a fact, based upon public statistics,
that a larger population and a far
grentor mileage of railroad exists
within a circle of five hundred miles
of this city than any othor in thc
United States. And, in Addition, it
has thc ad van Iago of tho Mississippi
and Missouri Rivers.
Another special benefit accruing
to tho South from the selection of
St. Lottie, is tho fact that it will
bring a largo body of visitors from
abroad to Southern cities and terri
tory. Visitors from foreign lands
will travel through tho States and
become, to soino extent, familiar
with our industries and opportuni
ties for investment. It will be the
greatest historical opportunity possi
ble to conceive of for displaying tho
fruits of Southern soil ana Southern
art and labor. Tliercforo wo arc in
favor of St. Louis being selected ns
tho place for tho World'? Fair, in
1892, first, last and all the timo.

Brains 1 To bc a successful farmer
you must have brains. "Aha," you
say, "I have brains!" Admitted;
then why don't you usc. them ? You
have brains and you allow them to
lie idle. Foolish mani You wonder
that you aro unsuccessful, and be
rate your calling. Do you wish suc
cess within your grasp? Then read,
study, think. Don't get behind thc
times. Live in to-day-not yester
day. Put a pin in this. The most
successful farmer is not thc one who
does the longest day's work, but thc
one that performs his day's labor
most intelligently. Which way arc
you working?

another says they will take sixteen
pounds off; another says it will bo

The people of the United States
certainly ?cern to be growing rich at
an enormous rate. In 1850 tho
property returned for taxation was
valued at only $7,000,000,000. In
1800 it ha<T increased to *1 0,000,000,
000. In 1870, in spite of thc disas
trous effects of the war upon n large
section of tho country, it was $30,
000,000,000. Tho 00118U8 of 1880
put it nt $48,000,000,000. Now the
estimate is $55,000,000,000, while it
is expected that the next census will
show up much larger ligures. Those
statements speak very strongly for
tho wealth-producing capacity of
this country, and for the industry
and thrift ot tho American people.
