Editor Union Timks :?The Xcin and Courier, in ft lftto issue, given the public tamo interesting facts and figures with reference to the phosphatJ Companies to which the Unitn Times adds little piquant sauce. There is in (he Editorial deliverances of this Brood Street Magneto rather too strong a flavor of dogmatism oti subjects in general?a sort of "you know nothing about it" style?which it is quite proper that a news? paper liko the Union Times, which does know "a thing or two," should politely decline to tolerate. Now and then, indeed, we find in that organ of the A'etc* and Courier's opinion & true word, llcro is one: To quote from memory,? It is absurd to talk about laying an embargo upon the exportation of phosphates." It seems thnt the Spartanburg County farmers advocated this measure, and that the Spartan cried Amcu! it certainly is not by any such unjustifiable nnd impracticable proceedings that tho question now disturbing the peace of the agricultural sniud can bo satisfactorily settled. Tho proprietors of tho phosphate wealth of the :sui* ?tjiit ^-.i? whnt they, will with their own, and tho only question for 'the farmer to consider is that which immediately concerns themselves. Can any legitimate action bo taken by them without infringing on the rights of others, by which such a reduction in the price of Commercial fertilizers may be secured as, according to their view of tho matter the agricultural interests of the State impcra, lively demands? There aro certain questions we have a plain right to ask. For example: At what price per ton is pkospliato rock placed on shipboard to Europe? $2? Placed in the European markets, what price docs this phosphate rock command ? ?9 ? Using this phosphate rock as a basis, what price is asked by the European Manufacturers of n high grade fertilizer?? ?22 ? These quostions arc very suggestive. . The conviction in the minds of the farmers that a Commercial fortilizcr of high grade could p be furnished them at a price certainly not excceding ?25 a ton, is very profound, and no contemptuous flings at tho farmers' ignorance and inability to judge correctly on this fertilizer question, by such newspapers as the A'ewt and Courier succeed in one iota in weakening this cnoviction. Again, if Charters, purchased from an utterly unnrincinled Radical Legislature and cudorsed by a blind Democratic Legislature, haTO entrenched thoiuselvos 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 glnri.ig crime against justice aud equity, and an honest Government, weakly blind to its obligations, confirmed that criminal action, is it not now und alway permissible under such a coniuncturc.of affairs to institute a careful survey of the situation T There should he, and possibly may bo, a way out of this formidable dilemma. A friend of the writers, an eminent physician and Chomist 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 purpo-cs could be put ou the market at a price considerably less than half that now demanded for the Commercial Acid Phosphate?say $10 a ton ?and that it would bo greatly more to the furmersinterest, wero he to leavo the highly perfumed and watered article at $50 and ?60 a ton severely alone, nurchasinir nnlv the uundul tcrated phosphates and supplying himself the necessary Ammoniacal element. Such considerations as these and many others of a similar charaoler have been forced to the front by the 1 Atc attempt on the part of the Phosphate Companies to place the last straw on the camel back's. There is also a rumor afloat?not the writer trust to bo justified by facts?that in the appointment of Commissioners to examine into this wholo phosphate question, due care has not been manifested to secure men thoroughly competent for the work and in no manner likely to bo biased, consciously or unconsciously, in favor of the Chartered Companies. However this may be,.it is evident that the time has come wheu the lelations between tho agricultural interests of tho State and the phosphate wealth of the Stale" demand serious consideration. i ^ At tht old established price of Commercial fertilizers the intelligent farmer well knows that his dividends from investmcntin them have been microscopically small lis l>?a|n, ten- ? thanks to the Newt and Courier?that the divi- 1 dends from the mining and manipulation of phosphates are "very encouraging to the Stock*" holders." He is only modestly asking why is this so ?? lie thinks ho has a right to a straight-forward and categorical auswer, and, Mr. Editor of the Union Timet, he i%of the very decided opinion that you perfeotiy agree with him.
