duce these essays into system; then
that which in the beginning was atten-

some expense, would be found 10 work

well as his resources.
Suppose in the mean lime cotton adj
vances in price, still the planter OF this

Besides as cotton rises, other articles
arise apace. Tho the planter gets
more for his cotton he pays more for
his horses, mules, p!oughs, ne gro-c!olh-
ing &c.
When the planter cannot loose by
this system be the price of his staple
what it may; and his efforts light and
most probably would be crowned with
golden results.

This advance was made in The face
