Their value totaled ?9,384, >'?' i.OUO. llaw cell.m exports from 1890 tu 1014 ore valued at $8,076,000,000, having ilitiva.ail from $251,000,000 in 18110 to $010,000,000 during the llscal year 1914. Cotton manufactures dur? ing the same period aggregated $708,? .,000, Increasing from $10,060,000 in 1890 to $G 1,000,000 iu 1914. - Practically ail the raw cotton v.;:.> -hipped in (Europe in tiu* earlier y ar: llecently, however, Japan has been purchasing much of Its raw cotton from the United .states. During tin llscal year 1912 cotton exports to tha; country exceeded 240,000,000 poun< ami in I9t4 were 177,000,000 pound*!.

We would .all he better oft If we 'would not lose sight of the fact that wealth Is not money, but the thin-;: that money tan buy. j It is tin- history of the world in ? : property, almost without exception. increases in value from year to year, while money is growing cheaper all tin- time. j So that, as a rule, a man With a ct rtain value in property is better iofi* than a man with the same value iu money, Take real estate, for Instance. A .man with $1,000 worth of real estate is better off than a man with $1,000 In money. The real estate will In ,crease in value, while the money will not. Ami tin- same thing is true ol ai t I most every other kind of property. Foodstuffs are becoming higher in jvaiue every year. The, farmer who has been producing foodstuffs is in much better condition than tin- farm? er who has been producing crops which in- can only turn into money. Cotton, nl" itself, IS worthless to ihe average farmer in tin- South. He must sell it, turn It into money, be? fore he can use it. lie cannot wear the raw cotton, or eal it. or use ii for fuel. He tnusl .-ell ii and with the money that he receives for it h< I buys his food and clothing, his horset and stock, his buggies ami wagons, whatever ho tea:, on las farm. The cotton, as cotton, is practical^ '? ort hit ss to him. And when he starts out to convert hi-; cotton Into foodstuffs, or live 'stock, or clothing, or anything else, many different parti a enter Into the transactions, and ail of them (get a prolit. Thai is wheivin lies ' lho main loss. ; farmers would he l etter oft if tin > would raise at home the things thai their cotton buys for them. if Ithey do this they do not have to dl Ivide prollts with anybody. I*: farmer sells throe hales of cotton to buy a mule, from one to ball! a. dozen men enter Into that j transaction, and all of them get j prolit. Ian if the farmer raises his mule at home, In- does not have to divide profits with anybody. go are say that wealth is better 11hau money, it pa:.; to produce wealth rather than money.
