Lane, of Alabama, I'reaiilent of the Cotton Grower* Pro- Tfrinuctutiofi, givow—-w4-#o ha! vi-cc. to the farmer* of the South. He *ay* that the world apenda annually about four hundred mlllioiia of dollar* for cotton Rood*. If the South aend* out a tlx million bale crop her farmer* get thU moneys for It. - ConHUinera com pete urnon# thctnae'.vea for it and the farmer* aubatnutUlly name the price. ]tut if they aend oi|t a ten million hale crop a* they did In 18D1 the consumer* pay the same money or lean for U and the makers com polo among thcmselvea on the price. The hope and safety of the cotton grower* lle^f*f*y«, In detlroj lng the annual surplus&f three million or to bale*, which the con8cienccle«t' bear* u*e to depress price*. He say*: The world ha* to be clothed. The consumption of cotton is nearly Inflex ible. The production Is flexible. 'With these deductions, it re*olves It self Into the question : “How are we lo destroy this annual surplus!*” The only safe and practicable way suggest ed was by a judicious decrease of acre age, say of 25 per cent; we would then realize 75 per cent, increase in the price and still have 5,000,000 acre* of land to raise food crops upon, which if raised in sufficient quantity upon the farm. Instead of being purchased at long time price* with cotton a* its un certain security, will make another legitimate difference In favor of the cotton grower of 25 per cent. As an object lesson as to the efficacy of the decrease of production's a atlm- ulu# to the Increase of price, we will . cite history of the cotton market In the year M45. The average price ol cot ton that year was 5.5(1. The produc tion was decreased the next year by general consent about i> per cent, and cotton values ro*e in consequence thereof to 7.87 In 1M(1. 9 The farmers of the south recognizing that they could not rats* notion profita bly, even at this price, though having the benefit then of slave labor In their favor, again reduced the acreage the next year, 1847,10 percent. Cotton .values continued to rise commensurate- ly with the decrease of acreage, averag ing that year 11.21 cents, a lUperoent reduction, resulting In a 90 per ceut. i-ist In values, and this tn the face of stagnation of trade In Kngland, due to the great Irish* famine that year, the rapid fall in sterling exchange in con sequence of the shipments of bread- stuffs to the United Kingdom and the reduction of 10,000 bales pur week, In the consumption of manufacturers. But the production has far outstripped consumption. The facilities are un limited. Texas, this year with a mod- erately propitious season, If they plant ed for it, could produce 4,n0(>,000 bale*, and it Is possible lor the *outh, if it Wore Inch gad to follow this suicidal policy, to nitee 12,000,000 balsa, ThU would result in 3 1-2 or 4 cents cotton> provided we had a propitious gather ing season, and cotton classed well; so the avallabilitv of area can be no re striction upon the production. As an evidence of the influence of overproduction, I present this homely illustration: A farmer goes into hi* market town with a basket full of eggs; it is the tlrst of .May and the poultry is producing freely ; lie pre sents liis egg* to the merchant for sh1c ) and he is met witli the intelligence that he has all the egg* that Ire can handle; that tliu market U glutted and the sup ply exceeds t,Ue demand. The farm er ha* more at home than lie needs, and he does not care to go to the trouble and expense, of carrying them back, bo dually be ask* the merchant if lie can’t make him an otter for them at all. The merchant reluctantly offer* 5 cents fur them him) the trade is made—the merchant dictating t.ie price. Later on in the sea*on, fay in Decem ber, the farmer comes in but' instead of having twenty dozen eggs htrhns only live dozen and he goes to the same mer chant and notes that there seems to be tulearth of egg* in the tubs and boxes sitting around, ami when the merchant asks what he has he replies glibly: win e sed^ hr fore was wen in India, Turkey, (Jfeece, Africa, the VVe»t In dies, Queensland, New South Wale*, Teru Hiazll and, in short, wherever cotton cntild Ihj |vrodweed; atu! there seemed no room to doubt that in a short time there would be abundant supplle*, independent of Aiherlca. Hut 10 years afterwards, In the exposition of 1872, which wa* especially devoted to cotton, only a few of the 35 countries which had sent their samples in 18112 again ap peared and these for the most part on ly to bear witness to di*ap|>ointMicnt “eggs.” The merchant ask* him what s they are worth, and he replies that as the hens'set-in to be in a combine, a trust or a strike, and egg* are very scarce in the country and the depliMlW seems to exceed the supply, he Efforts 25 cents per dozen for them, and the {mi* is made—the farmer dictating the price. ‘ ' The idea that has been advanced to ; deter farmers from decreasing their acreage to the effect that it would stun- ulate the production of other countries, Is a “delusion and a snare.” The ques tion has been settled some time since to the satisfaction of those who have put themselves to the trouble to inves tigate. The civil war did not have this effect. In this period of destitution tne cotton growing resource* of every part of the globe were t>sted to the ut most; and in the exhibition of 1.8r>2 the representatives from every country »m which supplies might be expect- let to concert measures for ohiain- Ut was wanted without the lea. ■w. < Itlaeere rcauv The colonies ami de lirium Willing The East India crop, that In ’75 and *75. amounted to one million, two hun dred thousand hags; Amounted In 1894 to seven hundred thousand. The Egyptian crop amounts now to about thosame it did then. Brazil has fallen from four hundred and two thousand, down to one hundred thousand last year, and sundries, that is to say, ail other countries have fallen from two hundred and twenty thousand to one hundred tliousand.snd the entire pro duction amounts to only one million five hundred and seventy-five thousand American hales, therefore we have lit tle to fear from foreign competition. Mr. Lane says that the cotton crop of last year will not go above six and a half million bales, and that It would now bring ID cents a pound but for the war scare and financial troubles. Gen. Grant's book netted his family nearly •500,090 and Is still selling. The pen Ismilghtler man the sword. jsBamMaMsaamsBBmmmmuwa Unless some new argument comes along we shall say nothing mpre soon as to cotton acreage. And In'stopping now it is because the subject is exhaus ted. and we don’t take back a syllabic we have said. The Oovrrnor 1 * message nearly fills the first and fourth pages of this issue. It is the Ohlef Executive’s pen picture of the btate oiothed in the new Consti tution at d deserves understanding reading. . . —————— ~ Congressmah U. B. CUlUrtMB, of Texas, ha* the mdlt sue as a lawyer of all men who have prac tised since Moses wrote the first criminal code. Ho has defended 110 men charged witli murder and secured the same verdict, not guilty, in every one. A very large majority of our farmers favor both gold-and silver as-good money. They have ton much good com mon sense to put their trust in a Mingle standard. Eor even better reasons they ought to favor both corn and cotton as crop* of equal importance to their gen eral well being and prosperity. There ought to tie at least one well organized Teachers’ Association in every county in the State. Thu * new (institution makes exceedingly liberal provision for the support of the public school* and the teachers should res pond by doing their very best work in training the young idea howto shoot: Live Associations make good training schools for live teachers. The men w ho neither toll nor spin are already llxing the price of cotton to be made this year. ; And tlie farmer* are helping tltem to put it down. A telegram from Charleston to New York states that sale* of fertilizer* am six times as great us they ware last year and that twostab’.e* in that quaint and quiet old city by the sea had sold 0,000 work animals before Christmas. The farmers ol Kansas made two hun dred ml lion bushels of corn last year.. All the fill and winter it has been std- llng at from 15 to 20 cents a bushel, yet" jyt that low price only about a tenth of the crop has been exported from • the State. 11 ■ - • . *i i KecenMy every body who could scrape up a little money has gone to buying, hankers, merchants, farmers and all the editors have their cribs full, of corn taken in payment for subscrip tions. It is inird to get luinbei to build tlie new barns needed and people are tearing down their fences and building makeshift houses of them. No reason is given, but we suspect, that these look a lie ad Westerner* ex pect to get big prices from Southern customer* about a year hence. They have unloaded such an enormous num ber of work animal* on the Cotton States that they, like all the restof the speculative • world, have concluded that the South will go back to the wor ship of cotton a.id once more keep their corn cribs and smoke houses ini The West. feateff contestant. So great are f e r *• sour-e* of tiAture that when one|pro.’- petcease* to ke profitable In any coun try sortie other products are usually found which yield good returns and compensate for the !< s*^ lie all thickly settled countries large farming ha* to give place to tlie truck method. The tendency of agriculture -in that direction Is already noticeable in many of our States. In this evolu tion tow ards truck farming there Is no occasion for despair. On t-he contrary, the change affords aliumluiit reasons for hope and encouragement. While the new method promises larger re turns; it also promises a more agree able life. Tlie farmer* of the future w-HI live- am*tli*. cities,-M.vhere-lJierc. are good roads, good' schools, culti vated society, and where the young men and young women may havejtheir ambitions tired and more easily enter tlie trades and profession*. The farm er* of the future may enjoy all the ad vantages of the country and the city at the same time. And that is the ideal life. ' There is.thl* consolation in all of these changes—they are never very sudden. They usually take place slowly, so that wide-awake men may Idokanoitd. shift their sale* and gain rather than lo*« by the change of wind. In the past farming has undergone many evolutions, but perhaps the greatest changes are yet to come. The science of chemistry has made such wonderful strides in the past quarter century that one is almost tempted to predict that the day will soon arrive when all farm products will he made artificially. The manufacture of agri cultural products by artificial means i* already far advanced. -Honey is now made by the action of sulphuric acid on corp'. i’erhaps the genuine comb is put in the frame and a dead bee lo give tlie thing 'ail the abearance of the natural product. Roasted coffee done up in packages is now made of saw dust, cracked corn and cocounut shells An excellent-looking article of pepper is now placed on the market, largely composed of parched bean* wifl char coal. We doubtless often sweeten our coffee with sugar manufactured from various sort* of wood, old boxes and old mgr. According to recent state ments of science journals, even cotton and silk fibres are now made by an ar tificial process. Our poultry products are at present: produced entirely by sleight-of-hand. Some Ingenious Yankee, so they say baa. lately manufaetured a t nnpound to be used in hotels in imitation of *cran7T>1o<r egg si It ” Ts^ib" perfect a product of art that even a connoisseur cannot detect the fraud. It is needless to remind the reader that chickens are now hatched out by machinery much better than by the old method. All tlie dairy products are now. made de novo except tue« cow. Artificial milk i* coiiiiHitindod out of sagar, water, saieratus, caustic soda and cara mel for coloring. The best of butter and goes by tlie name of oleomargarine The i.liief ingredients of the cheese now offered tor sale are sa^d to be cot ton seed oil and lard. Even a paper substitute ha> been found for tbe cow’s hid” and is quite extensively Used in the manufacture of shoes. % The foregoing faets ns to past agri culture and tlie surmises a* to the fu ture of ilntt Industry arc not penned' solelv ror the amusement of the n ader. They embody profound problems which shall demand solution from the coming generations. The evolution of I.iruiing as hero described suggests and impresses tlie lesson that some disad vantages and souiH suffering and sac rifices must iuevltably'-accompan v all economic progress. While wiser legi — I at ion and i better system of morals may in the tuture guard the tillers of the soil against some of these hard ships, it i* nevertheless true that such losses as are entailed by tnrejgu com petition are beyond the remedy of the highest statesmanship or the noblest philanthropy; i Prof. Jerome Dowd. t-—-— Governor Evans yesterday appointed the following delegate* to the Cotton l Grower* Association, which meets at' Memphis on Jnnnery 41: W.O.

A* I reflected my mind was struck into silence the most solemn 1 had ever known.' I said to toy*elf,’What can thi* mean‘f’ I do UOt recollect ever before of having been sensible of such feelings.
