Cow Word* of Comment on the Income
Thx Declssion.
f calling a man a socialist or an anarchist
ihi answer arguments. those contained in
dissenting opinions of Justices Harlan,
ksou, Brown and White, who voted
inst the decision of the Supreme Court
icli wiped out the income tax law, have
n thoroughly answered. But there are
pie?lots of them, too?who refuse to act
personal abuse as answers to plain,
I ni011 sense argument. These people hee
that the position taken by the dissenting
:ic<>s to have been right aud will continue
o Iwiieve until somebody answers the araonts
tlicy used to support their opinions
111110 other way than by abuse. It is not
lirst time that Justice Harlan lias stood
as the special champion of the great eomII
people and fearlessly pointed out the
ger of the continued encroachments ol
dth, and it probably will not be tbe last
e.
ertainly the following, from Justice Hars
opinion, are not the words of an anar't:
In my judgment?to say nothing of
disregard of the former ndjudieations of 1
; eonrt. and the practice of the governlt
for acentury -this decision may well
ite the greatest npprchcnsious. It.strikes
he very Inundations of national authority,
hat it denies to the mi neral government a
rer which is or may become vital to the
iteneo ami preservation of the Union Am
<c in whose behalf arguments are m.tde |
r-st upoi! I ivoritis.n by the law making j
cr to mere property and to particular '
ions of th country, aware that they are
void tig a con!est which in some countries 1
swept a way, in a tempest of frenzy and i
don, existing social organizations, and j
in peril all that was dear to friends of
and order'/ The practical, if not direct, i
et of the decission is to give to i ,
ain kinds of properly n position of favor- i
11 and ad vantage that i- ineouslstcut with |
fundamental principles of >ur social or- i
izafieiis, ami to invest them with power ;
influence that may l?e perilous to that j
lion of th" American people upon whom >
s the larger part of th" burdens ol the '
eminent and who ought not to be sub- <
cd to the dominion of aggregated wealth '
more than the property of the country
aid tie at the mercy of the lawless.'"
propos of the decision is the gossip now j
ting around Washington about the cost i '
lie legal talent employed to fight the con- I
itionality of the income tax. More money [
paid to lawyers in this case than would ,
the salaries of the nine Justices of the |
reme Court for a period of live years,

LAST YEAR'S COTTON
INTERESTING CROP FIGURES.
Reduction of Acreage Not Likely to
Ever Occur.
The synopsis of the report for May of the
statistician of the United States department
of agriculture, showing among other things
"the progress of cotton planting and of
"spring ploughing'' in the States and Territories
and "the revised report on the cotton
"crop of 1891," coutulns some interesting
figures. 1
The total crop for 1S94, as reported, was
9,482,913 hales, produced iu sixteen States ,
and Territories as Follows:
North Carolina 454,920
South Curoliua 818,330
Georgia 1,183.924 >
Florida 48,005
Alabama 854,122 1
Mississippi 1,167,881
Louisiana 728,069
Texas 3,073.821
Arkansas 709,722
Tennessee 286,630
Indian Territory 104,887 '
Missouri 24,114 ]
Oklahoma 13,001 \ !
Virginia 12,735
Kofitueky 2,685 ; I
Kansas 67
Without giving the llgures (census of 1890) I '
showing tlm population of the several States, 1
it is interesting to note the relation of cotton j ,
production for the year to the population of i ,
the larger cotton growing Slates. North J
Carolina produced one bale to every 3.5 persons,
South Carolina one to every 1.4, ,
Georgia one to everv person, Florida one to
every 8 persons, Alabama one to every ljL, '
Mississippi one to 1.1, Louisiana one to 1.5, :
Arkansas, <>ue to 1.5, Tennessee one to
6 persons, Texas produeeil !.i bales to every ;
person. Indian Territory makes a surprisingly
large showing, more than double that 1
of Florida, but its "population" is too 1111- J
certain to ;ulmlt of comparison for the present
purpose. Missouri, it may be added,
made one bale to every 111 persons, Virginia
one bale to every 123, and Kentucky one to
G20.
Au especially interesting feature of the oxhibit
of course is that, with a larger relathe
negropopulation, Sou* h Carolina, Mississippi
and Louisiana products! le.-.-t coiion per
' apita tiiiin cjtiier Texas or Georgia, which
faci should go ve:y f.ar toward correcting
some current misapprehensions as to the
uppox'd intimate relations Is-tween eolored
and "cheap" labor, aud cotton production
or over-pro.lueiion.
Louisiana and Arkansas, it will tie noted I
again, have about the same population and
produce about the same number of bales, at
precisely the same rate per capita for their
whole population; yet the colored population
of Louisiana exceeds that of Arkansas
by more than .00 percent.
Returning to the statistician's report, however,
we tin t the following interesting statement
and table, with the explanation that
the statement relates to "progress of "cotton
planting aud contemplated acreages" for
1895.
"The amount of the proposed breadth
planted prior to the 1st of May was 78.5 per
ul. tgamst 86.6 last year and 85.;1 the year
before, !>-?ing 10 points lowm than the acreage
usually planted at that date. The returned
estimates of area planted by the
States are as follows: North Carolina, 55;
South Carolina, 75; Georgia, 79; Florida, 95; l
Alabama, 87: Mississippi, 84; Louisiana, 86;
Texas. 75; Arkansas. 79 Tennessee 79. Tbo
delay was -a used principally liy the cold,
backward spring, while in some soctions it
ivas the result ol ?irv weather. Th? indiealions
at present point to about the usual
icr.-iy in ih - Slates of North and South
['.ir -liii i. 11.'oncia, Alahamu and Arkansas,
iad i re netion iii tlio States of Mississippi,
[. im-ianc, Texas and Tennessee. The above

ind Slate aitonts. Later a special report as
>i a- r>M p" wiil he civcn out. made up from
reports of a elected corps oi" correspondents

SOUND MONEY MEETING. '
The Convention Disposes of It* Work
Quickly and Adjourn*.
Under a banner with the inscription "Sound ^
Currenoy and Better Banking Facilities," between
seven und eight hundred representative
men of the Southern States assembled at I
Memphis, Tenn., Thursday,, to express their
opposition to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and to declare in favor of the continuance
of present monetary conditions.
It was essentially a gathering of "solid
men," bankers and merchants, farmers and g
members of professions allied with industrial ?
interests. It was ^specially commented upon
that Hie politicians were couspicuous by their
absence. I e
Oen. Calcliings was made permanent n
chairniau, and said: "No convention has j ^
ever assembled in this region for a higher or ! ''
more noble purpose. Not a man has come
