THE RQNGIiE NEWS
SATURDAY OCTOBER 3Q; 1578.
Cll.M'Il'SilCATEI).
Wkldon, N. C . October 25th, 1S73.
Ia vnur Utit issue I noticed a cmnmuni
C-ition signed "Q icstioncr,'' the purport of
winch was to ascertain what, if any, renudy
C"Uld be luuccsted tn relievo Mm present
condition of tlia iariner. ' lestioner"
iso speans 01 7-ue "V P"l;p iiicq cotton
brings, and desires 10 know il some
co- iperitive measure may not be intr.i
duccd by which the present gt le ol aSairs
may be changed somewhat lor the belter,
and alio desires to know if lactones could
pot be erected in the south which would
ootume the surplus cotton and thereby
lessen the bulk and increase the price.
He also propounds the aiestinn if it
would be better to raise more gf other
products aii.t less cotton, and asks if this
vo?,ld not J;c as had jn the end, by bring
ing down ;he pries of those products
which he says are too low for raising.
' I would b.ke very much to invent some
mcaos tiy which life larnier could be
benefitted, but at present I cannot see
where to art, the entire country is now
undergoing this revolution, and until
tilings are more settled there cau be no
.succesalul attempt, that I know of jut
now and it will be only when quiet is
.restore 1 to tho restless waters of thu mcr.
cantile teas that the remedy cin stlely be
.agitated. There is out) tbiog morally
.certain an I that is wc mint bridle our
.avarice, we inuat pot vxnect to realise
so immense fortune at once, Iqr it vo da
dt9atistactino is the result. Another
. thit g must be conidered in fpe..king of the
present stite ol our people and that is this,
vpfe visited by g,nfl ol the largest
inundations in the lall '77, and the waters
swept every thing as they went. Up to,
and previous to that Sid event our people
were Retting on tolerably well, and alter
that they were almost destitute, but they
went nobly tn work with all thit pressure
upon them, and have made hy the ai I ol
tome kind merchants, what tjiey now have,
thnusth it may appear small to them I will ,
kindly say to them, wiit a Jit tie while 1
ana every inioi may prove lor toe Deal.
It is a (great pity that ovtloo has de
clined, n t brings such a low price but
how can that be helped t There is not
much df'oap I probably as there has been,
n.iug perhaps, to tho wars in Europe
.which have beeu waged lor long time and
in the meantime pio?trated or entceblcd
truilo so much that it will be a long time
,befote it will net an impetus again. Our
,pw- market" are lull and when tint is
,the case low prices will be the result.
Doubtless it would be a eipital idea il
some of our southern people would lonn a
,Btock company and build lactones lor the
working up of cotton, hut even then I
think it would have but a very Biiyht
iffect upon raising the price lor the staplfc,1
s they would not lie able to compete
with the fac:n iea north, as it is hard to
control a trade anil even merchants ,and
farmers themselves will in many ,intnuees
tend abroad, an I buy wh ,t they need
before they will buy at horns, fliey seem
to think hey cannot do as well at home
as they can elsewere and tho cons qucuce
is. they seqd i heir orders aw ay while the
(adorers at horne suffer for the want ol
suoport, Confi leoee has hern broken
.down and until there is a better nnl
perfect understanding between the mer
chant aud people at home, this thins; will
CpvtioitB to exist. Build up ennridmec
,fjrit and then you ran accomplish more,
you may then buil I factories an I they
will be properly sustained, hut till Ihen,
,it will be w rse than folly to talk about
eurdi thing as bucccss and r.ipita'Jsts are
aware of this, and act accordingly.
"Questioner" asks if not so mu ih cotton
was raised and more ol other pindurts
would not the products decrease in value.
Ii is well understood, liiat ii inert is more
of aoy one paruaular ailielo in the
market Ihao there i. demand lor it, i.t will
mist assuredly decline- Il varied and
assorted crops were made then we would
have plenty of other things and could
withstand the decline in any out but il we
depend upon Cotton alone we will Ipse,
but having made other things while it does
not help the loss, consequent upon the
decline in cotton, still it leaves something
else tor homo consumption. Every thing
is law down iv, as.it was bi.'ore the war,
and we must Dot look lor high pines
Ur op. ether while the price ot the oiher
its 30 small. We must learn to eeooom z
add raise what is necessary for linir.e and
then the balance lor mmket, and when
that Is done you wont hear hall as much
about hard times and low price.
There is nothing raised on a farm that is
not worth plannrjg the only trouble
,'aiiAUt it is we warn to net rich too soon
and we male a eignal Isilure. I trust
something Qiay be done to help the
. larmer, and it would be worth his while
to see if by raising more than oue thing he
will fare better. I have great regard
and esteem lor the noble tillerB ot the soil
auJ give them what advice I am capable
of. FwhhD to Fahmeri".
