interest of the whole community Of planters.
For this reform, like the others | have sug-.
gested, independently of the direct benefit il
will confer on each individual planter, il will
benefit the whole, as class, by checking
over~produciion. One great cause of the in-
cessant struggle 10 make large cotton crops,
10 the neglect ofevery other interests, is the
reckless habit Of contracting debts, which
am deprecating. Negroes are purchased ups
on credit, and The planter is thus furnished
both with the. means and motives for unduly
and disprop6ftionately enlarging his cotton
crop. AS cotton is the only crop that will
command money, as money is the most press
ing want ola man in debt. every thing is DE-
|rected TO that object; so much so. that il is
the standing apology for neglecting 70 pursue
a sounder system of economy. The saying
has, indeed, become proyerbial among pIau-
tiers, "If Iwere net in debt. would not strive
to make such large cotton crops, but would
devote myself to raising my supplies, and ma
king permanent engagements"
Let me. therefore, advise, admonish and
teseech all our planters, as they regard their
own peace of mind, their own true interest.
the dignity and honor Of their vocation. and
the substantial welfare Of the State, to avoid
the entangling embarrassments Of debt. Let
them regard those who may offer them credit
with no friendly eye, but as enemies in dis
guise, who seek TO lead them into temptation.
Ifthey have contracted the habit OF anticipai>
ing their income, even for a single year, let
them reform even that. Yes, reform ii al,
| together Then will their prosperity be
placed on im,noyable foundations. Then
will they stand mistaken and untersi6ed a.
midst those periodical storms and conyul>
sions which are the inseparable concomitanfs
ola false and artificial system Of anctuating
credit and currency.
