than a dispute arose. Doth wanted thu (>?

casts. Finally, each one doggedly declared 1
that be would havo all or uono.

the faces of his enemies, and came out from ftn

The arorage per centage of the thirty-nine
,ple Articles above which a dollar will buy
ft, compared to the amouut it brought in J*
13 is 327 per cent. That is ?1 00 will buy
qiuph as $3.27 would buy iu 1873. The
co for whtch the farmer sells his bait
cotton now is far below what he obtained T
it in 1873, but the pricos of the artie'es J"
wbicli lie exchanges his bale of cotton,
re fallen lower still. For instance the
trage price of cotton in 1873 was 13 cents
which a bale weighing 600 would bring
>.00. At the preseut price 5 cents a 600
ind bale brings $25 Hut as a dollar new
1 buy 327 times as much as it did in 1873 ^
ca!e of cotton at $25 will buy as much ^
icsries Dry Goods, Hardware, etc., as
1 .Y? would have bought in 1873, being
lifference of $10 <5 ar about 15 percent,
favor of the faruter today '
f the difference in the price of ginning
rgingend ties, and of the used be taken
o account, the balance jn favpr of the farr
will be increased still. Now, that there
such a gener.il supply of home raised
n and meat, the farmer of to-day is not /
such a ba I way as he thinks, w hich is I
iveif beyond till doubt by the above figures \
ich are fact'g. There is no use to have
down-iu-the-uooulh" expression when we
ire out our true condition. ' Aqricola." _
