For the Times. The Phosphato Companies end their flights. Editor. Union Timks:?The Xcwaand Courier, in a late issue, gives tlio public saino interesting facts and figures with reference to the phos. . ? phati Companies to which the Union Times adds a little piquant sauce. There is in the Editorial deliverances of this IIrood Street Magnate rather too strong a flavor of dogmatism on subjects iu general?a sort of "you know nothing about it" style?which it is quite proper that a news paper like (he Union Tunes, which docs know "a tiling or two," should politely decline to tolerate. Now and then, indeed, we find iu that organ of the Xcics und Courier's opinion a true word. Here is one: To quote from memory,?"It is absurd to talk about laying an embargo upon the exportation of phosphates." It seems that the Spartanburg County farmers advocated this measure, and that the Spartan cried Amen! It certainly is not by any such unjusunablc nnil impracticable proceedings tliat tlie question now disturbing the peace of the agricultural tuiiul can be satisfactorily settled. The proprietors of the phosphate wealth of the ut? Uatv nn UJn Mffiu Ui^Lu what they I will with their own, and the only question for the farmer to consider is that which immediately concerns themselves. Can any legitimate action he taken by them without infringing on tlie rights of others, by which such a reduction in the price of Commercial fertilizers may he secured us, according to their view of the mat tcr the agricultural interests of the State itnpcra, tivcly demands? There arc certain questions we have a plain ^ right to ask. For example: At what price per ton is phosphate rock placed ou shipboard to Kurupc? $2 ? l'laccd in the European markets, what price docs this phosphate rock command ? $9 ? Using this phosphate rock n? a basis, v.hat price is usked by the European Manufacturers of a high grade fertilizer?? ?22 ? These questions arc very suggestive. The conviction iu the minds of t lie farmers that a Commercial fertilizer of high grade could be furnished them at a price certainly not ex cccding $25 a ton, is very profound, anil no contemptuous flings at the farmers' ignorance and inability to judge correctly on this fertilizer question, by such newspapers as the -Vcir.i ami Courier succeed iu one iota in weakening this cnoviction. Again, if Charters, purchased from an utterly unprincipled Radical Legislature and endorsed by a blind Democratic Legislature, have entrenched thciuselvos beyond possibility of overthrow the farmers want to know it, and propose to institute a very careful search into the matter. Why not ? If a Government, of fraud and foul play committed a glaring crime against justice an 1 equity, and an honest Government, weakly blind to its obligations, confirmed that criminal action, is it not now and alway permissible under such a cuaiuucture.of .Rl'oirs to institute a careful survey of the situation ? There should be, and possibly may be, a way out of this formidable dilemma. A friend of the writers, an eminent physician and Chemist and a gentleman, also, of extended practical experience in mining operations, is of opinion, and prepared at any moment to substantiate it, that the pure phosphate rock prepared by pulverization for agricultural purj o-es could he put on the market at a price considerably less than half that now demanded for the Commercial Acid riiosphatc?say $10 a ton ?and that it would ho gieatly more to the farinersMntcrcst, were ho to leave the highly perfumed and watered article at $50 and $00 a ton severely alone, purchasing only the unadulterated phosphates and supplying himself the necessary Ammoniacal clement. Such considerations as these and many others of a similar character have been forced to the j front by the 1 Atc attempt on the part of the riiosphatc Companies to place the last straw on the camel hack's. i here is also a rumor afloat?not Ilie writer I trust to be justified by facts?that in the appoint- ' nieut of Commissioners to examine into this ] whole phosphate question, due care has not been manifested to secure men thoroughly competent < for the work and in no manner likely to bo bi- ! nsed, consciously or unconsciously, in favor of the Chartered Companies. However this may be, it is evident that the time lias come when the > clot ions between the ] agricultural interests of the State and the plios- 1 phate wealth of the State demand serious con- ' sidcration. r At the old established price of Commercial v fertilizers the intelligent farmer well knows that his dividends from investment in them have j been microscopically smalt Jl? kuwu, too. thanks to the A 'firs ihi'l Courier?that the divi- J den Is from the mining and manipulation of | phosphates arc "very encouraging lo the .Stock- | holders." ? lie is only modestly asking why is this so?? Ho thinks he has a right to a straight-forward and categorical answer, and, Mr. Kditor of the Union Times, lie ia of the very decided opinion (iiat you perfectly agree with hiiu. 11.
