THE COTTON CEOP. The Annual Report of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange was issued OD Monday by Secretary Hester. The annexed extracts from the report should be studied by cotton planters. They say to tbem plant less cotton and raise your own provisions; raise corn, wheat, oats, hay, cattle, hogs, sheep, root crops, and anything that can be used at home. Continued over-production is bankrupting the farmers, who will soon become the tenants of the capi? talists unless they act on common-sense and raise what they eat. Secretary Hester, after stating that the crop for 1893-94 was 7,549,879 bales, an excess of 849,452 over last year, he says : The largest part of the gain- was in the group of Atlantic States, consisting of Alabama, Georgia, Florida and North Carolina, which ran ahead The Gulf States, Arkansas, Louisiana Mississippi and Tennessee, increased 351,000, while Texas dropped off 59,000 Mr. Hester puts theater age commercial ' Taine, of the crop at $87 50 per bale, against $42 50 last year, $37.50 in 1891-92 and the total value was $283,118,000, agaiost $284,150,000 last year and $338,812, 000 the year before, showing tbe remarkable fact that while the output of the last year has been 849,452 bales in excess of the year before, its commer bial Taine is $1,632,000 less. Mr. Hester says with an average of 7 1-2 cents per pound, which the crop brought, planters as a class would have been bankrupt bad they adhered to their old policy of ail cotton and_ little food erops and instances the significant fact that the cotton States produce over $148,000,000 of corn, nearly all of which was consumed where grown. Commenting on the outlook for cotton consumption in the South, Mr. Hester says with a return to normal conditions there is promise not only for an increase of 62,000 bales per annum in the pro? ducts of mills now in operation, but ta? bles show twenty-one' new mille not completed with nearly 100,000 spindles, besides thirty-six idle mills with 130, 000 spindles, a good part of which would be brought into play. In other words, the South has 2,500,000 spindles with a consumptive capacity of 825,000 bales per annum. The Result of the Primary. COLUMBIA, August 29.-Special : The primaries have gone about as every? one expected.. The vote was, however, mach smarter in the aggregate than was anticipated. The indifference as to the whole thing seems to be emphasized by the slowness by which returns are being received. In many instances the record is locked ap in the box and no one kno?8 or seems to. care a rap about the result. As things went yesterday there caa be no question as to the result. It means Governor. Ti II mao for "the United States Senate, John Gary Evans for Governor and the rest of the slate, except in theist district. Outside of the Senatorial race the chief interest seems to be in the Congressional con? tests There was not much doubt as to most of the elections. The Domin?es of the primary seem to be : First District-Col. Wm. Elliott. Second District-Congressman W. J. Talbert. Third District-Coogressman A C. Lulim er. Fourth District-Staoyarne Wilson. Fifth District-Coogressman T. J. Strait. Sixth District-Congressman John L. McLaurin. Seveoth District-Dr. J. W. Stokes. So far so good is perhaps what is being said in the Reform camp. The indications are that some of the nomi? nes at? almost as far as eyer from tbe coveted election. There can be no question about the dissatisfaction about the primary. Some are calling it the "Reform" primary. An evidence of this is the remarkably small vote cast by the "Reformers" themselves and the apparent disioclioa rion to give any pledges. Goveroor Tillman, the head and front of the Reform Movement, was seen sod asked for ao explaoatioo of the light vote. He did not make soy direct aoswer, but gave a spsey talk : "Until somebody/' he said, "ex? plains why the Conservatives of Col om bia and Charleston did not turn out and vote it is not necessary for us to say anything about the light Reform vote. The Conservatives have everything their way io these two cities and the Reformen have everything their way io the country. There was no opposition in some coooties and they didu't exert j themselves. Io most of the counties ! there was DO opposition ticket to spur the Reform to actioo. "The reiteration of the ory of a ring is not going to scare anybody or muster up any votes. I give notice oow that we are not going to have any Alabama business in South Carolina in Novem? ber. If these people want to warm this black snake loto life and join forces with it, noder the pica of Democracy, we are ready to meet them aod give them the worst drubbing they ever bad io tbeir lives. The defeated politicians who canoot get a majority of the white vote, aod waot to get elected by joining forces with the oegro, may as well understand this. "I will never believe until I 6ee it that any considerable number of tbe Conservatives will make this desperate effort to regain political power at such terrible risk, for every sensible man knows that wheo the oegro is brought in ss the balance of power between the contending white factions the State will sink into a deeper gulf of misery aod misgovernment than existed from 1868 to 1876, or that from which we emerged in 1876. AU the offices io the world are not worth such a price. My Democracy means white supremacy. I and those who have backed me will not join forces with the negro Let those who do justify it to the people." THE FARMER'S HOPE. Fr?? Trade and the Expansion of Foreign Commerce-Surplus Wheat. Our elevators are bursting with wheat for which the farmer can command but little more than 60 cents a bushel. There are in Europe alone, if we may credit the statement made by the late secretary . of agriculture, Mr. Busk, 150,000,000 peo? ple who never eat wheaten bread. In the one country is an immense supply of vis? ible food waiting for buyers. Iii the other countries are millions who go to bed hungry. Between them ply daily ferryboats with freight charges reduced to a minimum. What prevents an ex? change that means benefit to botL sides -needed food to the one and needed markets to the other? Not the sea, for it costs no more to send a bushel of wheat abroad than to send a letter in the mail, but the McKin? ley bill, which takes from the farmer or his middleman one-third or one-half of the commodities for which he might ex? change this surplus wheat in foreign markets as a fine for not buying those commodities from some protected home producer. It is clear, then, that whatever direct benefits may come to classes from re? lease of taxes on the necessaries they consume or on materials with which they work th? great general good to be sought in tarin! revision is a healthy ex? pansion of foreign commerce. This was the immediate result of the Walker tariff in 1846. During the 25 years previous our foreign trade had not doubled. In 1822 it was $141,000,000. In 1846 it had grown to $227,000,000, an increase of but 60 per cent. Under the low revenue tarin: enacted in that year it swelled by 1860 to $687. 000,000, a growth of more than 200 per cent in 14-years. ' More significant and instructive still was the increase in tbe tonnage of American, shipping engaged in the foreign trade. For 30 years prior to 1846 it had been nearly stationary. In that year it was only. 943,307 tons, al? most 40,000 less than in 1810. By 1860 it reached 2,379,396 tons. * These figures speak volumes, but their chief encouragement is for those who produce the surplus products that must have other markets besides our own for remunerative sales. The tarin! of 1846 made a vent for our surplus products by opening a market for the things which, and which alone, other peoples had to exchange for them. Yet this rapid expansion of imports brought no distress to home manufac? turers. On the contrary, after ll years* experience of that tariff they assented almost unanimously to a further de? crease of 20 per cent. The party of low tariff' and revenue duties is not about to try a new and ^?g?ror^xperim0nt.r It tas ncc new fangled theory which it wishes to test upon the bo.iy politic. It has not only the support of reason, but this, solid jus? tification of experience in the reform 't , proposes to make by purging our law- ; of the duties that smell of monopoly . and rescuing the sovereign power of j taxation from private control.-Nev.* | York World. I Agi tating: For High Wages. The Iron Age is unable to understand why in the face of lower duties and lower prices workingmen should everywhere be agitating for higher wages. It says: .'Prices of all kinds of manufactured goods feel the effect of the financial pres? sure, and it looks as though the few ar? ticles now steadily held at a good price must come down with the rest. Yet, de? spite these outward events, labor de? mands increased compensation, heedle^ of the fact that costs would thus be en? hanced and reckless of ensuing conse? quences." ?t seems well nigh impossible to get the idea that high wages, mean high cost of production out of the? heads of protection? ists, and yet there was never less founda? tion for a superstition^ Looking over the world of today, we see that the high wage countries are the aggressive traders. They not only produce cheaper than do the low wage countries, but they carry their goods to the low wage countries ' and carry back the products of the ex? change. Europe has always supplied Asia with manufactured products. England-the highest wage country of the old world takes its manufactured products to every corner of the globe. Nowhere else are the wages of farm laborers as high as in j America, and Australia, and yet these ai o | the countries which supply Europe wit'i food and raw materials. These facts are so potent that they have attracted the attention of protectionists from Henry Clay to James G. Blaine, both of whom were protectionists for other reasons. High wages are an indication of low cost of production, and this is just the time | for workingmen to agitate for higher j wages. The Coming Tariff Bili. A very considerable number of states men are now engaged in drafting tariff j bills which they hope to have adopted cs adininjstration measures. By far the best of these, as far as we are familiar | with them, is that drawn under the | auspices of the New York Reform club. I That bill is based squarely on the Demo? cratic platform of tariff for revenue only, and the bill the ways and means committee reports must be equally good if it is to be forced through congress ia the name of the Democratic party. To be supported by the genuine tariff reformers of the Democratic party the tariff bill must not take from the free list any article that is now untaxed, it j must not impose taxes that will average over 30 per cent, it must not provide any rate th&t is high enough to be restrictive whether the article on which it is levied is made in this country or not, it must reduce duties to a rate that will produce no surplus above the ordinary expenses of tbe government, leaving pensions to be provided for by a special tax, and finally it must make taxation lightest on such necessaries of life as clothing, leav? ing the heaviest duties to be levied on articles of luxury.--St. Louis Republic. JERUSALEM'S BOOM. The Holy Ci ty Has Caught the Fever of Mod? ern Progress-Promising Environment. The British consul at Jerusalem in his last report gives some interesting details respecting the state of the Holy City. It appears that bnildings of vari? ous kinds continue to be erected in the vicinity, and that the city is far out? growing its former limits. On the west? ern side houses have increased so rapidly within the last few years that quite a large suburb has arisen where formerly there were fields and vineyards. Every available piece of land is now being bought up by private persons or by be? nevolent societies and missions, and al . ready the name of Modern Jerusalem has been given to this new quarter. Last year the first public garden was completed outside the Jaffa gate, and the trade is generally increasing, espe? cially that in Jaffa oranges, olive wood work (now an important local industry) and olive oiL The export of colocynth declined in consequence of a tithe levied on it by the authorities. It is gathered by Arabs in the neighborhood of Gaza, where it grows wild. An interesting en? terprise which has recently been com? menced is the collection of the bitumen which rises to the surface and floats about on the Dead sea. Two sailing boats were taken by train from Jaffa to Jerusalem and then conveyed in carts to the Jordan, where they were floated down the river to the Dead sea, and they are how engaged in picking up the bitumen, which is in much request in Europe. The consul thinks it would be advan- 1 tageous to trade with the inland dis? tricts if a steam launch and lighters were placed on the Dead sea to ferry across the produce of Moab, which is a country that is rich in cereals, fruit and cattle. At present it is conveyed by caravans round the north or south end of the Dead sea, entailing a journey of from four to five days. Kerak, the chitt town of Moab, is now garrisoned with Ottoman troops, and authority is estab? lished there, so that if rapid communica? tion were established the whole produce of Moab would find its way to Jerusa? lem and the coast-Boston Transcript Photograph lng French Criminals. The system of photography in use is peculiar to the service and is the result of its experiments. It is free from all conventional operations, for the photo? graph is made simply to be recognized. The poses chosen are: A perfect profile, since that gives a sort of anatomical cat of the face; then a full face view, since there one has the habitual expres? sion and the pose of the head. The pic? ture is never retouched, since scars, moles and spots are such infallible means of identification. Absolute uni? formity is sought in the size, form and style of the different photographs. In order that the distance may be invaria? ble the chair and camera are screwed to the floor, and there is a perfect system of adjustment. The light is thrown into the face. The result is hard on the sub? ject. One does not care to display his judicial photograph, but for the purpose they are admirably, brutally exact. McClure's Magazine. Temperance Education For Children. The following are some of the points agreed upon by scholars as the standard for the temperance textbooks to be in? troduced in the public schools of New York under the laws passed through the efforts of Mrs. Mary L. Hunt. If this new education is to give to the world a coming generation of intelligent total abstainers, as we expect, its manuals of instruction must conform to the follow? ing specifications: They must teach with no uncertain sound the proven findings of science, viz: That alcohol isa dangerous and seduc? tive poison. That beer, wine and cider contain this same alcohol, thus making them danger? ous d/inks^ to be avoided, and that they ax? th? product of a fermentation that changes a food to a poison. That it is thenature of a little of any liquor containing alcohol to create an appetite for more, which is so apt to be? come uncontrollable that the strongest warning should be urged against taking that little and thus forming the appetite. They must teach also the "effect of these upon "the human system"--that is, upon the whole being-mental, moral i and physical. The appalling effects of drinking habits upon the citizenship of the nation, the degradation and crime resulting, demand that instruction here should give clear and emphatic utter? ance to the solemn warnings of science on this subject. No Money For Strawberries. Two men stopped at a fruit dealer's the other day. Said One, "What is the price of strawberries?" "Twenty cents a basket." "Twenty cents a basket! You'll have to sell them to rich folks. I can't afford them. The old woman will have to do without strawberries this time. Come along, Jerry, let's go and take a drink!" They started off for the barroom, and if they spent any less than the price of two boxes of berries before they went home it was a wonder. A drinker and a ? "good fellow" can afford to spend money in treating men who don't care a rap about him when lie "can't afford" to spend half the same amount in charity or ' church dues or in buying something for j the wife and children who have the first j claim upon him and all that he owns.- i Sacred Heart Review.
