Agriculture is the basis of all wealth, the foundation on which so ciety rests. Advice is something of which ever v one has a superabund ance and is willing to give on all oc casions, but which few ever take. Wear- confronted by a condition which is blue, indeed. Never in my recollection since ISOo have we been face to face with a prospect so gloomy. Before the war every plan tation was self-sustai ling. Our farmers bought very little of the necessaries of life, and cotton was a surplus crop. From causes which I will point out we have reversed the order of things. We have changed the economy of the farm and in large measure depended on one crop to buy everything we are compelled to have. The present condition of over production—too much cotton—was predicted by me seven years ago in a speech at Bcnnettsville, and I set to work to bring about some change as far as discussion would do it. Wind has produced this revolution.-' I say in soberness and truth that by everv measure in our power we have driven our people to the culture of cotton alone. How? One of the greatest causes was the enactment of the lien law. T1 e enactment of Ihir- law placed credit on the crop In-fore -d-tS'pianieu. It placed the mail o. character and the man without it on the same plane. The honest and the dishonest, the intelligent and igno rant, the industrious and lazy, were all placed on the same level. It placed the value of the crop in the hands of those who did the buying, and all went to planting cotton be cause debts-were payable iu cotton. The Lcgi latnre is largely responsi ble for this condition of cotton. The effect has liecn to make cotton the crop to buy everything else with,' pression of countenance, by siguili- npper level of each of these 75- j 'translate towers was reached from whether this ruin was the remains of the Tower of Babel it was even then impossible to ascertain. Herodotus, usually minutely exact in his writ ing, leaves us in ignonnee as to how the foot level below. As might be expected; even in tra dition. a wide difference of opinion exists as to the height of the tower. Most orientallists maintain that Hod did not put a stop to the work until the tower had reached a height of 10,000 fathoms, or about twelve miles. In Ceylonese tradition it is said to have been as high as 20,000 elephants each standing one above the other. St. Jerome asserts on the authority of persons who had ex amined the ruins that it did not reach a height exceeding four miles.
