I JUIM RF/P1RTO\T. ,/. / '. MS/;;:r Junior. There are throe important factors that control the prices of cotton, land, labor and capital. If the cotton planter or producer was the only factor, he could undoubtedly reduce cot ton acreage, and increase the aerenire of food crops ;tiiu thereby decrease the so; ?L<> of cot ton i .u In some extent the mice.

Yet no appeals are made to the merchant and landlord to aid the lien cotton planter to reduce acreage. Why are they not appealed to? Is it simply to divert attention from the true cause of the low price of cotton that a reduction of acreage is advocated \ Over-production is not the cause of the low prices of cotton. It i? under consumption oi cotton goods caused by the demonetization ol silver, which depressed the industries of the country and impoverished the industrial classes, l lu average price of 45 principal commodities declined one-halt from 1873 (when silver was demonetized) to 1890. The fall in priet was caused by a reduction in tin !! voiume; cm monpy one-nan sine: not the; overproduction of these commodities. The world's pro duction of wheat from 18!) 1 te 1896 inclusive did not vary 5 pei cent, a year during that period Yet what declined in price Iron 89 to 49 cents. Th?s shows tha 1 supply and demai- re not t he ; only factors in pro *. And tha : over-production did not cause this great decline in the price o wheat.
