Take Up the line of Argn- ment IaUd Down by Observer Cbn- tribotor and Has bometuing Inter . estins to Say.. -".'-.",: To the Editor of The .Observert y In. last Saturday's Observer a writ er signing himself Farmers' Friend" take issue, with lbs national cotton committee on the article published by Mr. W, S. Pharh 'Farmers Friend" says that " the ''business of the world ha hot Improved; "that the purchas ing power existing In the general pub lic, la not sufficient to enable It to pay, the cotton planters SO to 75 per cent' profit when the. laboring class can scarcely get employment, at any price; that manufactured good are being offered for sale at leas than cost of production at the present price of cotton. and 1-3 cent;" "that there Is scarcely any. demand;" "that the manufacturers , have- large stocks which they cannot sell even at a loss because of the .want of purchasing power. . : - v'f . ': -- For these reason and others which X will quote directly, "Frmers'Friend' advises - the farmer to sell cotton. Now," I am not going to dispute the contention of "Farmers' Friend" as set forth above, but will quota from .Dun' 1 Weekly Review also, found In Saturday Observer, If - says; "Seasonable weather stimulated re tail , trade materially and Jth better distribution of consumers brought a larger., movement In wholesale - and jobbing departments, but In most lead ing Industries there Is still hesitation. , "Low stocks of merchandise neces sitate urgency In replenishing when dealers find retail buying on a nor mal scale, a Is the cass in many sec tions of the country,- but preparations for '.distant requirements - proceed cautiously, ', although - expression of confidence are' heard on all sides. On the whole there 1a Improvement tn mercantile collections many factories have further increased the number of hands at work. "Textile production ha Increased, and tn some divisions ef the primary: cotton goods market there la improve ment, but little definite change is ex pected until 109.' Spot goods alone attract Buyer, practically no coo" tract covering distant deliveries. which Is an el- ni. -.t of strength for the future, although an sdt-ise in fluence at tha prebeni time." Now, suppose that we admit, tor the sake of argument, that "Farmer' Friend" Is right in his view of mar ket" conditions. Then, - why in tne world would he advise farmers to force their cotton on a market that is already glutted? Will it relieve a patient that is nauseated from over indulgence to stuff more food into him? Would it not be more sensible to withhold all food and give him a chance to rest and deplete himself? Ah, yea but "Farmers Friend" wants the poor farmer to turn physician and do the depleting when he is not re sponsible for tho engorgement. He wants them to sell their cotton and become "liberal buyers to deplete the market of these enormous stocks of manufactured goods at- the mills." This is rather tn line with the senti ment of .some of our Northern "friends who. last fail, criticised the Southern farmer for not turning hie cotton loose and thus turn the bal ance of trade in favor of the OTnitod State and bring European gold to relieve the bankers and gamblers of Wall street "Farmers' Friend"' seems to forget that the Southern farmer represents only a very small per cent of the consumer of , cotton - good a The- entire population of all , the Southern States is only, about one-, fourth of the population of the United States and when we compare thorn with the entire world which consumes cotton goods, we can readily see that we are comparatively small purchas ers ot the crop that we raise. "Farm ers' Friend" seem also to lose sight of the fact that the great bulk of cotton being sold now is for the pay ment of debta and that when an ob ligations are ? paid that the cotton farmer wip have very-little to Invest In "cotton gooda"-: He also mentions the closing down of the mills tn Eng land as another reason why the farm er should sell hi cotton.. The cotton cannot be spun with the mill .closed down. Somebody will have to hold this cotton until demanded. Then if the Southern farmer can possibly do It, why should he not hold his crop until it will command a price above cost of , production 1 : , "Farmers' Friend" says that "the world's sup ply of .cotton Is-one and a half mil lion of bale more than a year aaro." and that he "believes- that the farmers have much more - eotton - stored on their farms than haa been reported up to data" v This Is only bis opinion which Is hot borne out by the facta I have talked with several mill men ntely and they tell me that the mills, nave no cotton, and the amount of cotton still in the hand of fawners ts certainly small, Judging from reports from the farmers ; themaelves. Of course this refers to the old crop. The government report of the pres ent crop condition put the figure at .7 per cent ot a normal, ehowtng a marked falling, off during the past month. ; This corresponds with re port received by the national cotton committee. With the outlook, for a crop not exceeding that of last year, and very probably leas, and with no surplus on .hand from last year's cropi the jobber with empty shelve, since they have not bought their jiorm.il stocks, with a much easier - money market and with at least borne ma terial improvement 1 In trade ; condi tions. It doe seem to me that the farmer who possibly can hold his cotton is foolish to sell it at price below eost:;:";i" .nf,ir-t.?t, - f ,r i -1 want v to aay In closing " that I have no desire to criticise the writer who sign himself "Farmers' Friend."
