Money and Wealth.
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. Money i^
: not wet Ith; H can only be exchang?
ed for wealth, and there is general
i]y a loss for the man who has noth?
ing tun money.?Anderson Ma.il.
