If Cotton G^ato in Flva Catota (
Ha would be foolLh to undertake to ]
picture in anything like real outline** <
juat what will bfc the implication* in |
disanter to which the Houth will he |
reduced if by any chance it* principal
money crop, cotton, should sink to the ,
level of five or six centa a pound this (
Fall and that in by no means an improbability.
That is not our purpose.
There is no pleasure in painting bleak
pictures even though we were able,
nor to try to influence the public Ij
harig its head in further dejection.
What we would like to get across,
however, is this:if cotton does go to
five cents a pound some other things j
may as well get ready to travel in the
same general direction. We are not <
accustomed to five-cent cotton in the South
upd $<>0 suits of clothes and $15 |
hats and $12 shoes and $l0-a-day
labor and $50,000-a-year executives
and a host of other current situations I
which become a grim abnormality ^
when cotton is on a basis of aftcrthe-lCivil-(War.
-v
Those who arc wont to make their
prophecies of approaching better
times, and Heaven knows we hope
they are right, must convince us,
first of all, in the meantime, that we
can economically exist with agriculture
in the throes of such prostration
as it now is and will continue <
to be if something does not happen to
the prices of farm products. Prosperity
is coming back to us some of
these days, real, substantial, widelydiffused
prosperity, but it is foolish
to contemplate its return so long as
so many maladjustments are allowed
to continue.?-Charlotte News.
