In our Inst issue it will ho rome in herod wo notieod thc rapid dcoliuo in colton and advised ths farmers to stop y ?liing for awhile to check the decline und rally prices. AVo advised all who could) to hold, and only sell when ob ?ged l<> do s> lo meet obligilions Since that local appeared wo have been approached and soundly berated lor want of consistency, und giving had iidvico to tho ihrmors Want ol consistency, hecauso in another article wc urged tho business mon o? tho town 1? build houses for incomers und boom tho town, nod thou urged tho farmers to hold cotton for better prices. Where thc inconsistency ? We fail tosco it. We wero oleo charged with advising farmers not to pay their debts. Has it coin? to this, that when n farmer holds his produce for such a price as will give him and his family n surplus after his expenses aro paid, that he or wo shall bo charged with advising him to repudiate his debts ? Now our ad vice was not to ihjs end, and cannot ho so co ns truel. Where, aro thc warehouses in tho country ?nd town for storage of cotton, and hunks to nd vaneo upon same, for the farmer who is obliged to sell ?

Sow fii?ii?ls, if thc farmer I hollis bis cotton oil tho mn rice t for two weeks you would seo it go back quick to 10 cents. Would not this pay debts faster, and moro of thom? Let us figure a little grcou cotton AV i 11 Io? ? len lbs per halo by keeping. Interest on a halo of cotton for eight mouths will be $2.00, storage and in surance $2.00 for sumo time. This makes $5.00 expenses to hold a 400 lbs. balo for 8 months, till May 1st, nt wliich time tho past May it sold on thcHo streets for ll ? cents. Now if it brought that tho past season with such a largo crop as was made, is it not fair to presumo, with increased consumption and oven tho snmo crop this'year, which we hardly grout, that'cotton nCxt May will sell for ll J cents. If so, the gain of 1} cents on a ?100 lbs. bale, will ho $7 00-less #5.00 expenses, holding same will givo net gain of 82.00 to th -so oblig ed to draw upon it all. Now, tho farmer who does not havo this to do, Hives his storage nod per ha j s interest if his inoiiov can't bo lout, say $4.00 moro, gain, and it was to this class in ro especially rc fei red in our ad vice, as is soon by reference to thr.t article. This is a clear statement of figures that are not to bo doubted. Now friends aro too ready to kick, iustond of coining to tho aid of tho Iii rm or in building up tho Town and County. Muko thom ablo buyers hy helping them to independence, and tho whole County is boomed, moro goods Bold and moro fortunes made. Do md. kill tho Old Goose! Theil again, suppose you do rricel soino legitimate delay in collections, nud ns you pay your business is hurt, vyhiwe fault is it, but your own V Did not the action of the farmers all over tho cotton States lust season proclaim in munder tones that they would hold cotton, and you should have i< anted from that fact to havo l een prepared for any emergency. But, lor l'onl' of doing any injury to any body, with their accustomed censor v itisin and charity to ali, tho fanners s rved notice in tho public prints, from their National Alliance nt St. Louis, and from the State Alliance, for all farmers to moko their obliga tions maturo hito in tho year, not ear lier; than Doo. 1st, 8> they could hold their cotton for bettor prices, without detriment to any othor inter ests. Now, after this prudont and fair notice, if any business man foiled to keep himself posted ns to tho ac (ion of tho farmers, and has failed to majco hip hus?ncB8 arrangements to meet tho oxigonoios of thc citso, and HO gots ouight, it is his own fault? for i ho luis been oithcr obtusely ignorant as Vi his own interest in not reading,! or been determined to ignore and ' ligltf. tho Fanners Alliance. -i: Now, after cons dering tho iibovo ?uots wo lenvo it to ?my f?ij?sd??i man to detormino, if it would bo fair for tho fnrnior to push bis cotton on tho market, ami so sutler loss, to ne. connnodato tboso who aro indepen dent, ami always make monoy? Wo are a friend to all classes, and have cot tho least unkind feolingd toward tho town, or a singlo business man, for wo sincerely wish thom succors, and wish to seo tho town built up, but it oan never bo dono by illiberal methods, or bv antagonizing tho far mers, tho mud sills of all las ing, and true prosperity. While wo do not wish to ontago ni/Ai any interest, it is our purpose to shuni firm as the champion of tho fa miers cause, for in their success and prosperity ties tho success and pros perity of every other interest. Let in then bo charitable. Grand Jury's Presentment. To (he Honorable J. H.
