an accommodation which would extri-
cate him from the position in which he
has placed himself. Count Orlolf is TO
endeavour to induce the King of Eol-
land to accept the Treaty, whilst Prince
Lieven is to use his influence here with
Lord Palmerston and Prince Talleyrand,
in the hope of obtaining certain modifi-
cations which are to be as concessions
from Belgium, rather than as from the
Conference, so there may be a savoring of
compromise, by the non-ratifying par
ties. Such is the course determined by
the Russian Cabinet. We shall see how
it will work with Holland and the Con-
ference. At the date ofthe last advices
from the Hague, the King was not dis
posed to yield either of the great points
on which he has made his stand. Should
he persist, one of the three things must
happen.-Nicholas must descend from
his stills, and trick with his ally, or o.
penly encourage his pretensions to Bel
GUM or France and England must give
way, and purchase ratification by modi

Erou the LtnlcGburr I1rriniin

From The Lynchburg Virgini0n.
The truth is, the decline of the South is
attributable to causes beyond the reach Of
the Tariff system. One Of these causes is the
over-production of its chief staple, Cotton
so much beyond the demand for it. A refer
ence TO authentic documents proves that the
quantity of cotton thrown into market at the
present period is nearly double the quantity
produced when it sold AT twice and triple
the price which il now commands. And The
single fact that the aggregate Of ats ualue
now amounts TO about the same sum that il
did when ii brought % and 81 cents per ID.
shows conclusively that the decrease in price
is attributable, not TO the operations of the
Tariff, but TO the increased production be-
yond the consumption Of the article We
have now before us table, (for which we
are indebted TO the N. Y. American Advo-
cate) showing this fact most conclusiyely
The reader will perceive, from the uniformi-
ty of the aggregate values in each year, that
the decline in price, per pound, is almost in
Iallibly indeXed by the increased production:
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 182?-183?, 1832-04-20


But the fact that the decline in the prices
Of cotton is not owing 10 the Tariff is still
farther illustrated, by reference TO the
prices current of past years The n. Y.
Advocate quotes from Pitkin's Statistics Ca
work of admitted authority TO show, that,
in 1909, 10, and II, previous to the war,
and when no protective tariff existed, the
average price Of cotton was only 10 cents.
In 1912, rs and IA, During the war it
averaged only ii cents. After the war,
it experienced a great rise, consequent upon
the sudden transition growing out of gen
eral cessation ofhostilities through the world
In 1915, the average price was 20 cents
il 1916, 81 cents-in 1877, 294 cents-and
in 1918, 1.-TWO years after the first protective
tariff it did not decrease, but increased TO
323 cents
But thee is another Cause for the decrease
in the price of cotton, as powerful as that
which we have already noticed and seeing
that Mr. Hayne is not ignorant Of its opera
ton on other articles, it seems strange that
it did not suggest itself to his mind. In or
der 70 show that the prices Of manufactured
articles have not been reduced by the tariff,
as IFS friends all0ge, Mr.. Uayne informs Us,
in his speech, that all articles, unprotected
as well as protected, have experienced
great decline in value Real and personal
estate, cotton flour, tobacco, --all-ail-havc
gone down and most Of them have fallen
in much greater degree than woolIens, cot
tons, &c" So says Mr.. Hayne. lie even
goes farther, and informs us that this decline
Of prices is not confined to our own country,
but has extended " all over the world" And
he accounts for it, by referring TO the "di-
minishing cost of the raw material, the wage.
Of abour, and the interest Of capital

= The following is extracted from a me-
mortal 10 Congress, from the citizens Of
Charleston, S. G. in 1928:
The cultivation OF cotton, encouraged
by the very prosperity which has just been
noticed, HAS BEEN so PRoDIGIoUsLY
EXTENDED an this and other states, as well
as IN foreign countries, that, notwi;hstand-
ing the unprecedented increase of the trade
with England, every market an Europe SIS
already gLutted with ii and as the evil is
every day growing with the growth of the
new countries into which enterprise is push
ing lis adventures, there can be no doubt
but that, in the course of a very few years,
this commodity will, like all others, where
there is free competition in trade, be re-
duced TO THE LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE.
In the mean time, the effects that have al
ready been produced here, by this mighty
revolution, are depIOrGble an The ertreme
Property of all kinds is deprecated beyond
example. a feeling of gloomy dependency
is beginning to prevail every where in the
lower country. Estates are sacrificed 10 pay
the last instalmenls on the bonds given for
the purchase money. Nobody seems dispos-
ed to buy, what every body is anxious TO sell,
at any price. Ia short, ii is manifest, that
the extraordinary prosperity which South
Carolina, in common with the other states,
enjoyed some years ago, is gone for ever
and it will require all the skill and industry
of our agriculturists, in future, to maintain
their place in the market, even at the most
reduced prices Of produce
