Southern Folly.

The planters of the south are 200 much
in the habit of buying all their supplies
They are too much de pendent on the west
ern States for their horses. mules. provisions,
and other things, that they could by proper
economy and management procure them
selves The present high prices of stock
and provisions. must begin to open the eyes
OF the southern people to their very de-
pendent condition in these particulars To
raise cotton and sugar. and to have to pay it
ali out for these necessaries of life and plant
alton supplies. is but poor encoura cement to
the planter, and ought to awaken him to a
proper sense of his real condition, and stim-
ulate him to firm resolve to set about be-
ginning system of domestic economy that
will not only remedy the evil. but will also
render him secure against the'high prices,
which scarcity in the western States, or the
monopoly of capital may bring about It
would seem that the southern people are
now working for the spectators in cotton,
provisions, stock and manufactures We
make nothing at home in the way of CLOTH
ing. little stock of any kind, aud have to
pay ruinous prices for meat, horses, mules
and everything we need Is this the part
of wisdom? Can We ever prosper while we
continue this hopeless policy
We must do better, and the sooner we
begin. the sooner we shall realise the bene-
fits and cure the evils under which we now
live Let US plant less cotton and more
grain, raise our own hogs. our own horses
and mules. and manufacture our own cloth
ing These things we can do and must do,
if we expect to be relieved from the conse-
quences which results from their omission.
Will not the public press urge this upon the
people . 1t should by all means be done.
