W. Summers. THE CUED IT SYSTEM IN THE SOUTH. It is about lime that Southern planters and farmers abandoned the pernicious credit system. in the cotton states particularly,. where it prevails extensiv elv. it is the great drawback t.) their prosperity. How- j fWvgbtt? f-beif cr*rpf! may ho< they lind theJiJs<.'Iveft, as u rule*, in deb'l at l he end ofthe year. The prolits of thciryonrs work goiiito the pockets of the country merchants who furn ish th?m their supplies. As ihe sys tem" in practiced the phi liter or fanner ] wire* tl.'e Jilerel/attt lien on his crops lobe grown and ihc merchant, being se.-iired. furnishes the necessary sup plies. There is no agreement about the prices that shall be pni i for the supplies, but'I! c fuel ?chant is carefi;! to exact interest on tin-advances vr deli he makes. When the lieii is j given the planter or farmer is in the i power* of the merchant. His credit i- destroyed so far as obtaining any thing elsewhere is eoneerue 1. add his mere li a ill cdn,afid docs, in a majority j of- uses, charge him just v>kat he lit; , i for the supplies which lie furnishes. These charges are generally from '.to In 100 per cent, higher than the rul ing market rates. The planter oi farmer may complain of tin.' ex orb i I tan'. prices which he is forced to pay, but what (.'an he dOV II?' must have supplies and he hasn't cither cash or credit. He is. therefore, forced to comply with the terms of the mer chant who holds the mortgage on his growing crops. The supreme court of Mississippi, a few days ago, rendered a decision which will allie d the farmers of that State some relief, ! A merchant \? !>?> held a mortgage Oil the crops of a farmer foreclosed it. The lov-vr court allowed Ins bill ligaiilst the farmer, aI;hough it was shown that the prices charged were at least double those charged for the same articles when sold for cash. The case was appealed and the ??" pronto court re Versed toe decision of i he lower court. The higher eodri said: !C The pllrcil.'iMrr was nol in a condition to decline the puivli.'isi? of! flic supplies OU llCCOUIll oftlie prices charged, and he acquiesced in the prices from an overruling necessity. His extorted llffseill t?; the prices I'.x cd was wilhotil consideration*, and was therefore void." fins decision lixe's the law mill respect to stich eon tracts so far as Mississippi is con cerned, bill there arc very low plan ters or fanners who will risk the ex pense (Mid trrnibleof a law Kl?t to right their Wongs, The thing to do is to gel clefir of thecredll system a! together*. How I his* is W be d?nc is a question that is tint free from dilllclll ties. It is certain, however, that be fore tile planters and flll'lliei's cafl I have any rciil prosperity they mtisl he aide to secure their supplies at market nitcs. They will never be able to get ahead as long as they are the slaves of the present, i rcdit system. - Exchnngr, BROKEN ENGLISH.
