We can go naked and live in the woods as the heathens do, but we must eat. It takes a pound of cotton to buy a pound of meat. A pound of meat can lie raised more cheaply than a pouud of cotton. A farmer can eat his meat but he cannot eat his cotton. The money supply has grown faster than the food supply. The farm production for the last four years have been low in comparison with the iucrease in other forms of. value. Manufacturing enterprises, manufactured muteiials, stock aud bond corporations have more than tripled in value iu ten years. The farmers have not kept pace.
