THE COtJON CKOP.
Every year about this time a great
deal is said alout reducing the cot
ton acreage. For the past year this
talk has been more generally indulg
ed in than ever on account of the
low price of cotton. x A great many
of our farmers have declared that
they -would reduce their acreage
from 25 to 50 per cent. This has
been the talk.
As usually happens at planting
time, whether under the manipula
tion of Bhrewd speculators we cannot
tell, the price has advanced. The
farmer takes this as an evidence that :
the supply is becoming exhausted
andreasons that the fall price w ill be
better in view of the fact that all
his neighbors are going
. i i i'ny session since ib. l lie v auca
ire going to largelv ' , .
reduce their acreage. Every one of
his neighbors reasons about the sit
uation exactly as he does. Each one
plants just as much or a little more
cotton than ever, thinking that he is
the only one who is taking that
course. As a consequence when the
crop ia marketed it is found to
be bigger than ever.
This has been the history of the re
. d nction in acreage from year to year.
Thatit will not be true this year we
have little reason to doubt. Let no
farmer fool himself in this matter.
You need not plant a big crop think
ing your neighbor will plant but little.
All reports go to show that, w hile
the crop may not be as large as last
year, it will be large enough to sup
ply the world's demand at a low
price. If any of our farmers are
deluding themselves with the reduc
ed acreage talk they ought to learn
the facts. The acreage will not be
reduced sufficiently to materially
affect the price. Nothing short of
devastating drought or flood will
materially reduce the crop.
If these things be there, as they
undoubtedly are, it behooves our
farmers to raise all their home sup
plies, and only plant cotton as a sur
plqj. Will they do do it? The
school of experience, it seems to us,

1HIRTY years have elapsed since
Lee surrendered and the war closed.
The ragged soldier boys who laid i
down their arms at Appomattox have
transformed the South from a wil
derness devastated by war to a gar
den producing more food and more
clothing than the world can con
sume. Every anniversary of that
fateful day has been been a milestone
in the South's progress until she bids
fair to lead the world in prosperity.
And why should this not be the case,
because Nature has been lavish in en
dowing her with all the natural ad
vantages ?
It is now pretty generally under
stood that the Eepnblicans in this
state intended making a straight
fight on the electoral ticket m the
next presidential election. Many
prominent Eepnblicans would like to
make a straight fight all around, but
the average Republican's love of
office makes him willing to make
almost any sacrifice to secure a share
of the spoils. This predominating
characteristic will probably influence
that party to try fusion again.
The decision of the Supreme
Court that a part of the income tax
ia unconstitutional does not set that
matter at rest. This is the most
popular tax ever levied. The people,

decision of the court may result in a
new issue being brought before the
people in the shape of a constitu
tional amendment. In our opinion
it is a righteous tax, and we would
like to see it made constitutional.

Die sirn of the times indicate
that the issue which will be present

policy of the present administration

the other hand silver has been d
preciated,so that international bi
metalism has not been encouraged
but retarded, though the sentiment
in foreign countries, upon the whole,
seems more favorable to it.
ilr. Cleveland's policy then seems
to be responsible for the issue being
forced upon the country at this time.
In the west and south there is a very
strong free silver sentiment. The
great masses of farmers and laboring
men believe free coinage
would benefit them. In speaking of
this sentiment the Columbia State
says:
"But we do not think that it can
be checked. We believe that it will
sweep all this country to the very
borders of the East; that the next
national Democratic "convention will
commit itself to the policy, and that
the next Democratic nominee for
President will be a free silver man.
The reason is simple enough. It is
to be feund in the fact that the
issue now plainly presented to the
country is gold monomentalism or
silver monometalism, and that the
great majority of the people of this
country believe that of the two poli
cies the latter, will serve them best,
or at least, injure them least."
It is a little early yet . to predict
the result of such a fight, but
we
express the hope that it may result
in a better financial system and in
creased prosperity to all our people.
The government has discovered a
new enemy to the cotton plant. It is
the cotton mite and is said to be very
destructive. If it reduces the crop
of ib9o it is not as great an enemy
to the farmer as the man who increas-
eshu acreage, i
LET THE TRUTH BE KNOWN.
In view of the strenuous efforts
made by liepublican and Populist
papers to fix the odium of the as
signment law upon the Democrat,
and that our readers may know the
exact trnth about the matter, we
have thought, it best to sum up the
whole matter briefly.
The original bill was introduced
bv a Democrat. It reads as iol-lftws
"That all conditional sales, as
signments and modgages, or deeds
in" trust, which were executed to se
cure any debt, obligation, note or
bond w hich gies preferences to any
creditor of th maker shall be abso
Intel v void as to existing creditors,
except those given to secure cash
advanced at the time of execution of
the smiie. or to secure advancements
for fanning 'purposes."
Notice that this bill makes an ex
ception in case of a mortgage given
"to secure cash advanced at the time
of execution of the same, or to secure
idvancements for farming purposes."
I'liis exception robs the bill of all

was referred to the House rinsfbee
committee, and the next day the fol-
nving substitute was reported favor-
ibly by Hilemuu, Populist, chairman
of the committee:
"Section 1. That all conditional
sales assignments, mortgages or
deeds of trust which are excuted to
secure any debt, obligation, note or
H.nd w hich gives preferences to any
credit or of the make shall In abso-
utely oid as to existing creditors."
Notice that this substitute pre
wired by Populists and liepnblieans
leaves out the important clause in
the original bill which' excepted
mortgages made for cash, or by
fanners to secure supplies. The
omission of this clause made the bill
ruinous to farmers especially. And
our leaders will note the fact that
this bill w hich was hurtful to busi
ness was not the original bill intro
duced bv a Democrat, but a substi
tute, or amended bill, reported favor
ably by a fitsioninst. In this shape
the Democrat who intnAluced it op-
jiosed it, and it was' tabled upon the
motion of W. T. Ia-, a Democratic
representative, who states that the
Democrats voted solidly for his mo
tion. Bight there Democratic connection
and responsibility cease. All the
jelerks were b'epublicans and Popu
lists. The tabled bill was in their
hands. It was never ln-fore either
branch of the legislature from that
time to the day of adjournment.
Ibw it became a law we do not
know. But one thing we do know.
It couid ii.-ver have Ucome a law
except 1 carelessness or corruption
of Bcptihlicati and Populist clerks.
They either enrolled and had the

iiiev did it for a price. Their con

will not be deceived.-

CLEVELAND'S FINANCIAL VTJEWS.
ExpreBied at Length to Letter to the
Sound M iney Convention The u or
Hutlle is Drawn on the Money Qaeatlon. j
Recently President Cleveland re
ceived an invitation to attend a sound
money meeting of business" men in
Chicago. He declined the invitation
and gave bis, views upon the finan
cial question in the following lan
guage: Executive Mansion,
. Washington, April 13, 1895.
To Messrs. W. T. Baker, George W.
iSmith, John A. Koche, T. W. Har
vey, David Kelly, and Henry S.
Kobbins:
Gentlemen I am much gratified
by the exceedingly kiud and compli
mentary invitation you have tendered
me on "behalf of many citizens of
Chicago to be their guest at a gath
ering in the interest of sound money
and w holesome financial doctrine.
My attachment to this cause is so
great, and I know so well the hospi
tality and kindness of the people of
Chicago, that mv jiersonal inclina
tion is strongly in favor of accepting
your Uattering invitation; but my
"judgment and mv estimate of the pro
prieties of my official place oblige me
to forego the enjoyment of partici
pating in the occasion you cm tem
plate.
I hope,how ever,the event w ill mark
the beginning of an aggressive el-
fort to disseminate among the people
safe and prudeut financial ideas.
Nothing more important cau engage
the attention of patriotic citizens, be
cause nothing is so vital to the wel
fare of our fellow countrymen, and
to the strength, prosperity and honor
of our nation.
The situation that we are confront
ing demands that those who appre
ciate the importance of this subject
aid those who ought to be the first
to see impending danger should no
longer remain indifferent or over
confident.
If the sound monev sentiment
abroad in the land is to save us from
mischief and disaster it must becrys
tallized and combined and made im
mediately active. It is dangerous to
overlook the fact that a vast number
of our people with scant opiwrtuuity
thus far to examine the question in
all its aspects have nevertheless been
ingeniously pressed with specious
suggestions, which, in thu time o
misfortune and depression, find will
ing listeners prepared to give cre
dence to any scheme which is plausi
bly prsented as a remedy for their
uufortuuate condition.
What is now more needed than
anything else is a plaiu and simple
presentation of the argument in favor
of sound monev. In other words, i
is a time for the American people to
reason together as members of a great
nation, which cau promise them a
continuance of protection and safety
only so long ad its solvency is tinsus
jietied, its honor unsullied, and the
soundness of its money unquestioned,
i'hese things are ill exchanged for
the illusions of a debased currency
and groundless hoje of advantages
to be gained by a disregard of our
linancial credit and commercial stand
ing among the nations of the world.
If our eople were isolated from all
others, and if the question of our
eurrehcy could te treated without
regard to our relations to other coun
tries, its character would be a matter
of comparatively little importance.
If the American people were only
concerned in the maintenance of their
precious life among themselves they
might return to the old days of bar
ter, and in this primitive manner ac
quire from each other the materials
to supply the wants of their exis
tence. But if American civilization
was satisfied with this, it would ab
jectly fail in its high and noble mis
sion. In these restless days the farmer
is tempted by the assurance that
though our currency may be debased,
redundant, and uncertain, such a sit
uation w ould improve the price of his
products. Let us remind him that
he must buy as well as sell, that his
dreams of plenty are shaded by the
certainty that if the price of the
things he has to sell is nominally en
hanced the cost of things he must
buy will not remain stationary; that
the best prices which cheap money
proclaims are unsubstantial and elu
sive, and even if they were real and
palpable, he must necessarily be left
far behind in the race for their en
joyment. It ought not to be difficult
to convince the wage earner that if
there were benefits arising from a de
generated currency, they would reach
him least of all and last of all. In
an unhealthy stimulation of prices
an increased cost of all the needs of
his home must be long his portion,
while he is at the same time vexed
with vanishing visions of Increased
wages and an easier lot. The pages
of history and experience are full of
this lesson.
An insidious attempt is nuide to
create a prejudice against the advo
cates of a safe and sound currency by
the iusinuation, more or less directly
made, that they belong to financial
and business classes and are therefore
not only out of sympathy with the
common jteople of the land, but for
selfisn and wicked purposes are will
ing to sacrifice the interests of those
outside their circle.
I believe that capital and wealth,
through combination and other
means, sometimes gain an undue ad
vantage J and it must be conceded
that the-maintenance of a soutrd cur
rency may, in a sense be invested
with a greater or less importance to

ever, only a difference in degree, since
it is utterly impossible that any one
in our broad land, rich or poor, what
ever may be his occupation, and
whether dwelling in a centre of fin
ance and commerce, or in a remote
corner of our domain, can be really
benefited by a financial scheme not
alike beneficial to all our people, or
that any one should be excluded
from a common an nndversal interest
in the safe character and stable value
of the currency of the country.,
In our relation to this question we
are all in business, for we all buy and
sell ; so we all have-to do with finan
cial operations, for we all earn money
and spend it We cannot escape our
independence. Merchants and deal-
era are in every neighborhood, and
each has its shops and manmacwriea.
Wherever the wants of man exist,
business and finance in some degree
are found, related in one direction to
those whose wants they-suppi?, anu
in another to the more extensive
business and finance to which they
are tributary. A flnct.i uion in

the loss in their scanty support, and

hand, when he tenders it for the
necessaries to supply his humble
home. .
Disguise it as we may, the line ot
battle is drawn between the forces
of safe currency and those of silver
monometallism.
I will not believe that if our peo

Center n' Treatment of Vance,
A report in circulation in Samp
sou county that Senator Don Camer
on, the rich protectionist of Penn
sylvania, intended to make a visit to
Senator Marion Butler in order to
arrange for the campaign of 1890,
causes a correspondent of the Samp
son Democrat to relate a bit of his
tory that occurred nearly two de
cades ago which emphasize the won
derful changes time has wrought in
public sentiment The correspon
dent says:
"In 18fi5 the Governor's office in
Bal-igh was robbed, and among the
valuable pajiers carried off tfere
Governor Vance's letter books.
These were stored away in the War
Department building m Wasniug
ton. When the people of North Caroli
na summoned courage enough to en
ter upon a vigorous struggle, under
the leadership of Vance and others,
with the carpet-bag gang who had
been fastened on U6, garbled extracts
from ance s letters were furnished
by the War Department officials to
the carpet-baggers and their friends.
and Vance's course during the war
was thus misrepresented and the
impairment of his influence threat
ened. Your elderly readers no doubt
remember the charges based on these
extracts, which did duty in the cam
paign of 187(5. Expecting to be
confronted with these charges and
knowing that the ull text of his let
ters would dispose of. them to the
satisfaction of the people, he applied
early in that campaign to Mr. Cam
erou, who was then Secretary of
War, for permission to have his let
ters copied. Cameron refused, and
as I remember, his refusal might
have Ix-en more resjectful than it
was.
'I will not comment on this piece
of history; it carries its own com
ment But it seems marvelous that
there should be even a suggestion
that Senator Cameron can hope for a
political trade with a representative
of the people who loved Vance and
