nues OF fe planters


By his method nearly one-half of the
a5or OF The SOL would be left unemployed.
at the disposal of the planters. to be applied
TO other branches OF agriculture. and other
pursuits This would richly reward them.
They could plant corn. TO make their own
pork. raise their own provisions and grass
rs, rear sheep, cattle, SC. They might de-
vote some attention 10 the production of wool
They could establish simple and suitable
looms. at W hich, in bad weather. the ne
groes might work, and manufacture their
own clothing.


La short, by such a system. the planters
could defray the expenses of their pianta
tions, ant that nearly the whole proceeds of
their Cotton (amounting to more than their
prescu incolne) might be laid up as net
pratt


From the above plain statement few re-
fections are naturally suggested-viz:


The present low price of Cotton is ruln>
Gus to the planter, the factor. and the manu-
facturer. for the lasting prosperity of all
three is closely and inseparably linked to-
gether The profit of the mandatory at
the expense of the planter can only be
transltory.


The cause ofthe diminution in the rate
at which Cotton is sold, is the surplus pro
duction over the demand.


If the cultivation continues TO increase,
the price must fall still lower until the plan
tiers eventually become bankrupts.


The remedy can be found only in an hon
est and determined concert on the part OF
the planters to diminish the cultivation until
the crop of cotton shall be reduced to the
standard of consumption-thus insuring
ready market and steady price of at least 9
cents.


In growing less Cotton. the planter could
improve its quality. ard with the additional
soil and force left at his disposal he could
produce other articles. His income from
the article OF Cotton would remain about
the same, while he would be enabled to Gre
ate new revenue from other sources


1t seems unnecessary TO multiply words
to impress all with the importance oil bfmg>
ing about concerted action, tending to the
practical adoption of the measures necessary
to realize the remedy proposed for reseuing
the Couon market from its present disas>
trous condition In future communlca-
lion few Suggestions will be thrown cut 10
relation to a mode cf operation, by which
the desired results may be brought about at
once.
