Mr. Holmes’ Letter.
The People-Sentinel takes pleasure
in reproducing in this issue a letter
from Mr. J. Duncan Holmes, a native
of Barnwell, who has cast his lot in
the North and for the past several
years has been associated with the
Standard Statistics £o., a nationally
known concern. We . appreciate all
that he has to say about the cotton
situation and our views thereon, but
we fear that he has absorbed the
opinions of big business in regard to
the plight of the cotton farmer
(though, of course, he is more sympa
thetic by reason of hi s early environ
ment) and agrees with it, to a certain
extent, that the South should continue
to raise crops of cotton at ruinously
low prices in order to compete with
foreign growths and thereby help
maintain a favorable balance of trade.
Mr. Holmes, in commenting on the
idea of “a fixed price in this country,
coopled with a subsidy on exports to
make up the difference between the
low worldl price and our domestic
price,” says that such subsidies are
regarded as the moral equivalent of
“dumping” and would provoke repris
als. But isn’t it true that certain
large manufacturers of machinery in
this country have been selling their
products in foreign countries consid
erably under the prices charged here?
Has their practice provoked reprisals?
And just why is it all wrong for
the American farmer to apply the
practices of industry to this business
of farming in an attempt to get a
decent price for his product ?
There has been considerable criticism
of the Roosevelt administration’s ef
forts to boost prices of agricultural
products by controlled production,
which is noting more than an attempt
to fit the supply to the dlemand, but
when a manufacturer curtails his out
put to equalize supply and demand it
i 8 considered very good) business.
Nobody thinks that he should manu
facture in excess of the demand for
his product and throw his surplus cn
foreign markets in order to maintain
a favorable balance of trade, and the
American manufacturer has the added
advantage of selling his product in a
tariff protected market for a large
part of his output.
We would hate to think that the
Southern farmer must continue to
produce cotton at prices that will not
permit him to attain some semblance
of the vaunted American standard of
Irving—that he and his family are
forced to continue lives of dreary
db-udgery—and that may account for
our failure to face the realities of the
situation. We much prefer to believe
that It i s a .problem that can be and
will be solved, and that the solution
will bring peace and prosperity to a
favored section. But it will not be
solved without the cooperation of the
interests that are so extremely anx
ious to maintain a favorable trade
balance, even though it be maintained
at the expense of the cotton farmer.

please pardon me for riting this
letter, but it seems that you ought

been regular attendants at Sunday
school. There is a moral restraint in
the religion which we receive in the
worship service which has its influ
ence upon the children. Real religion
is mediated in worship, and in worship
only. What is mainly wrong with the
present generation of young people is
that they have no religion, and the
fathers and mothers are, in most
cases, responsible for this tragic con
dition. From their infancy most of
the children of today have been stran
gers to the place and the hour and
the means where and whereby religion
is imparted. And for none of this are
they responsible.
’’The challenge of childhood is put
up squarely to thi s generation in a
\vay in which it has never been put
*before. There is no more opportune
challenge before us, and yet a great
percentage of our people are not ful
ly conscious of it. Fatherhood has
’been a neglected' art. Men have
thought that their greatest concern
was the gaining of food and clothing
and shelter and money for comforts
and luxuries. The greatest gift a
man can give to his son is his own
character consecrated to Christian
♦
living. Give me.the manhood of today,
consecrated to Christ, and the problem
of childhood will fade.
