LOG-CABIN SONG.

love the rough Log Cabin;
Il tells Of oldcn time,
When hardy and an honest class,
OF freemen in their prime,
First left their fathers peaceful bone
Where all was JOY aed rest,
With their axes on their shoulders,
And sailed for the West.
OF logs they built sturdy Pile,
With slabs they rooted it GER
With wooden latch and hinges rude
They hung the clumsy door.
And for the little window lights
In size two feet by two,
They used such sash as could be got
In regions that were new.
The chimney was composed OF Stats
Well intcrlaid with clay,
Forming sight We seldom see
In this later day;
And here, on stones for fre-dogs
A rousing fire was made,
While round it sat hardy crew
"With none to make afraid"
| love the old Log CABIN
For here, in early days,
Long dwelt the honest HARRISON,
As every Loco says
And when he is our President, =
Which one year more will see,
In good ''hard cider" we will toast
And cheer him three times three.

Ere this too when danger assaulted Us,
And Indians their dread missiles threw,
His counsel and courage awaited us;
We conquered at Tippecanoe.
And when all the troubles were ended
flew to the girls that knew,
They promptly declared they intended
To kiss me for Old rippccanoe
And now that the good ofthe nation
Requires that something we do,
Wen hurl little Van from his station,
And elevate Tippecanoc.

THE COTTON CROP.

TIE COTTON CROP.
Few persons are aware Of the amount eNPend.
ed m the production OF cotton; or Of the 'a>I'T-
poHancc OF ,he product, 10 those engaged IN 9th
Ct business The following estimates are suth
cieniy accurate to establish the results as far as
our own crop Is concerned.
The crop Of Mississippi for 1889 NAY be as l
stunned to be 100000 bales, OF the average weight |
OF 40 lbs The expenses Of preparing and get /
ting it to market NAV be thus estimated.
For bassmg rope and t"ne per
bale. 81 80
For freight, Insurance, comms'
slons and other shipping char
ges IN New Orleans, 90
For freight insurance, dutes,towu
and dock dues, commissions
and other charges IN Liverpool II 90
For plantation expenses (Which
include clothing, pork, farming
utensils, horses and mules, nc,
which must be furnished every
Year, not less per bale than 90
! For oversccrs wages and ueccssa
~ repairs of gln and mul, not
| less per bale than 30
Making the aggregate ofexpenses
equal to-per bale $27 80
OF which the sum Of So per bale is paid to
persons who are not employed IN the culture
who are non.rcsidcnts, and who ate engaged IN
oIhel pursuits. Thus the crop OF Mississippi a..
lone in 1899 contributed the enormous sum Of
ten millions If dollars to those who had no direct
interest IN It's growth!!! And who will say that
the production of cotton IS not intimately connoc.
ted with the prosperity OF the whole country when
moro IL realized from It by those who are not EN-.
ployed in the culture, than by those whose capital
skill, and labor are engaged init Aud who will
dare to say that the preservation Of our southern
institutions is not essential 10 the wealth end com
fort of the whole Union.
Let US next enquire how much of the profits Of
the production 90 towards the remuneration Of III,
producer.
We will assume the price IN Liverpool for the
I price in the European market must be the test o
value To be I'D, per h., which is equivalent t.
