He Reviews the Unsatisfactory Cor.
dit!on---A Strong nrd Horrible
Argument.
The resonuhle hope was entertained
th.?t after ten years' experience,
from the year IfciJo, Southern agri?
culture would assume normal conditions.
and that a fair measure of
prosperity would reward the efforts
of the planter and the laWor. The

had the no less str ng incentive to
exert himself to inipro\c his material
eomlition in life. The belief was.
that with this finely relation subsist
ing between the land-owner and the
landtiller, tlie product of this good
feeling would he * rospeiutv to both.
It was exnected that there would'' e
:i large increase of white labor on
Southern farms. It was believed
that the superior inti lligrnee of white
fanners would not only surest new
and better methods of cultivating tin*
soil than those that had la-en in
vogue, hut that the same intelligence
would largely tend to 'in- intr> dttetion
oi'labor-saving implements; that
intensive farming wool 1 become the
rule, rather than the exception, of
Southern industry. The development
of the resources of the soil under
the .stimulus of these methods
and these economic appliances, would
be in line with the | rogiess ot" other
industries. Largely inor? a>ed crops
of cotton, sugar, l ice, ubacco. com.
oats, and every nrcc ;in y {bud mij ply
would reward the husbandman
and usher in an era of prosperity
without a parallel in the past. As a
result of this progress, the Southern
planter and the farmer, would atuin
to a point * f assured independence,
and the laborer to a eomfortahle living.
Twenty-live years alter the war
should have made such a condition a
reality.
I ins expectation has not en realized.
It was a dream, beautiful and
inspiring, hut still a divan:. All
parties that cherished the vain hope,
have hi en deceived. There is no
general prosperity. 1 he large planter,
the middle-class fanner. and t!n>
small proprietor are a ike embarrasse?l.
To make emls meet is the struggle
of each ela*?. A dead weight
presses the industry. The capital
invested in agriculture is hampered
and does m t produce reasonable re?
suits. The farm laborer is poor?he
is poorly led and p orly clothed.
The situation is dreary and the fact
is disheartening.
The people engaged in .Southern
agriculture know the trutli of the
statement. The facts lie on the surface.
tear alter year, di-np| o ntinent
have well nigh crushed the hope
of a fairly remunerative return from
Southern cotton fields and rice fields.

In both particulars, there was a
; loss in the Southern States. Such
i are the repotted facts, well worthy
: the thoughtful consideration of South,
j orn planters and farmers. The whole
South and every industry in the
South, has a deep interest in the
solution of the agricultural problem.
The largest number of people in the
South are making a living out of the
soil. The pnralysis of Southern agj
rieulturc affects every other industry,
j Commerce, transportation and r.tanulact
fries have their interests indissoluble
connected with the interest of the
soil. Trade cannot be vigorous and
healthy when agriculture is depressed.
Three million homes in want presents
a condition that will touch every men
< hai.t and every railroad in the South.

ing class s crippled, short time of rail

COTTON ACREAGE, I Si),
SOME FACTS AND FlOL'lth
Latham, Alexander & Co.'s Views
to the Over-production of Cotton.
An Interesting Letter.
It stems to us that the most vital
important lesson for the South
learn is that over-production of c<
ton is seriously harmful to the in
terial prosperity of that section.
We have repeatedly written <
this subject and feel that we have e
hausted the argument; nevcrthelo:
with the current crop, we are co
strained to write again, even at t
risk of reiterating what wc have sa
before.
Whatever share the merchants ai
planters of the South arc to have
the revival of business and genet
prosperity ot tiie country, now a
parently well starteil, will dcpei
upon the profit that is made in t
production of cotton, a crop wor
?1100,000,000.
The total crop of 180*1-00 w
7,lo7,34G bales, and it was sold
the average priee of 8.00 cents p
pound, or $40.82 per hale accordit
to the record of exports and the of
cial figures of the llurcau oi ^tati
ties at Washington. The plantc
that year made large food crops, ai
when the planting season the nc
year began, they were fortified wi
cveiy requisite to produce cotn
cheaply.
Last year the total crop .was 8.7.*)!
004 bales, and the average price w
7.42 cents per pound, or $07.40 p
bale, the Mrop yielding, perhaps,
larger net profit than f?r many ycat
because planters had few supplies
buy.
The success resulting from tl
conservative policy which was pti
sued these two years did not indu
planters to adhere to that line of a
tion; on the contrary, they inercasi
their purchases of fertilizers this ycr
and many of them drifted back i
incst to the all-cotton principle, ai
planted the largest cotton acrcaj
ever known, hoping that the wov
would pay remunerative prices for t!
staple, no matter how largethcsuppl
The disastrous result of over-plai
ing this year is already clearly shov
by comparison with last year, wh
the acreage devoted to cotton w
decidedly less.
Last year the amount of cott
marketed to January 1st was G.GW
1(J2 bales, the average priee rcaliz
was 7.o2 cents per pound, $??7.1
per bale, or $242.iKJu.o,">0.
1 his year i.-t>U,Uo'> hales we
marketed to January 1st, the avera
price realized was (?.U5 cents p
pound, $40. I'd per bale, or $22]
o5S,40(>.
The planters shipped to mark
601,641 bales of cotton more 1
January 1st this year than last, ai
received for them $21,580,044 h
money. In other words, lowing
the lower price, induced by ow
productiou, the people of the Sou
have lost on cotton - hipped to m:
ket by January 1st tliis year, t
total value of 801,811 bales, naiuel
724,102, and $21,580,044 1
sides, making a grand total loss
$.>1,005,04(1.
To further illustrate the vuino
eliect of over-planting, we make t
following sunnnaiy of crops al
prices :

I lined by ovi r-produetioii, and a

year's crop !;a< yields I no prolit
the planter, and oven mure than t\>
thirds :>f the en?p have been sold
|s| t'nis date, prices arc even yet belov
the cost of production.
j On account of the largo crop an?
low prices resulting thciofroni, it it
of vital importance, not only to th<
South, but the whole country, thai
^ , the cotton acreage for next year l<
j materially reduced, in order to ad1
vance the price of the greatest staph
jv j product of the United States to r
t;, i paying basis.
! If the planter^ of the South suflei
I loss, the people of the 'whole country
| must share in it.
J The South cannot stand anothei
x , cotton crop of the same dimensions
^ j as this year's, without bringing about
" { disaster and bankruptcyfcto planters
I i handlers of cotton, 'and relative
j(j I harm to the general mercantile interj
est of that, section.
I , The price of cotton is more readily
j | inlluenc <1 by the inexpiable law ol
. i i supply and demand tluin any other
' _ I article of commerce, for no cornel
, modify is so sensitive to fluctuations,
j)( : and when a superabundance is hangtjj
i iifg over the market, cotton trade in
! all its branches is adversely affected.
I Cotton raising in the country is
,i( j virtually a monopoly?two.thirds oi
) the entire production each year is
" readily taken by buycVS in foreign
j|"_ countries, and the planters in the
South are justly entitled to a fa r remum
ration for their labor. An overid
i supply tlio only reason why they
Nt have to sell 0,000,000 to 7,000,000
tlj hales ol cotton to foreign spinners,
without profit.
Tiie cotton crop can and should be
- made the most profitable in this
c uintrv. It is wholly, the planter s
01> fault that such is not the case, as the
figures in this letter clearly show.
.J The cotton interest of every kind,
to entry where, would prefer an advnnc!
ing market to a declining one, good
I ! prices to poor one, because trade in
all of its ramifications is quickened
vc thereby. Even the ' Consumers ol
c cotton goods arc so slightly affected
sj by an advance of even two or three
~r cents per pound in raw material that
they arc not unwjUly that the
1(j planfor ho well -poi'tSv* lus labor.
, I>ut. if the planting interests ot the
fj(j S<uith continue to increase cotton
c acreage year after year, continual
, loss is inevitable.
^ The mere fact that a large crop
V1 lias heen planted affects the juice adn
versely at once, and continues to
;|S affect it until the crop has heen
marketed, and if the planters of the
South would determine to largely re
< _ ducc the acreage, a favorable intvj
flucnce ujton tlic prices and the cotton
i- trade of the world would at once become
apparent.
1V I?y the systematic and co-operative
, action between the merchants ami
^.r planters the cotton crop must he

j or else destroy the most valuable
,.f source of profit to the mercantile and
L,v I agricultural interest of the Smth.
lA.r the good of till concerned, it
,ss would he indefinitely better anv year
t() to make a million hales less cotton
than half a million bales more than
