A f ?I>M * II . . I ?%?-- Jv
of tlic bagging question has been commenucd.
The ('hroniclf believes that in. doing
^ this it will prove itself the best friend of the
" farmer. It is more friendly to give a man
advice that is true than advice which is
agreeable. We have not hesitated, either in
politics or practical subjects, to speak out,
ami while our position has s nut times been
misrepresented, the the result has always
justified the wisdom of candor and common
sense.
It seems to he the goners! impression that
cotton bagging lias n*>t been satisfactory as
a covering for cotton bales. It i* high, costing
something like thirteen cents a yard,
while the shippers and exporters find it
neccs-ary in tear it off and robale in jute.
What tlic farmer loJCi the exporter gains in
weight.
Tne ('I'lrnnirl- has no interest in jn e. II
the farmer does not want to use this as a
jierrnaiient wrap let him watch the development
of the cotton s'a'k ntac'iiuc and encourage

not agree with Col. Haskell as to tho policy j.,,
to he pursued by the South Carolinians in jjM,

Tillman ns a demagogue, and says that lie
should he opposed at every hazard, and al- jpe
though defeat were certain, lie thinks that to
the respectability of the South Csroliin gja

does not regard the situation as hopeless.
