10 hear what may be said on the other side.
The cotton crop Of the whole South last year
wxs worth perhaps tl50,0o0,ooo. Probably
nnc fourth Of this smouDt was purchased by
Northern manufacturers. Now, according to
ths 1gnsn. our country would hare been nearly
t4o, ,ooo, 900 richer it the whole crop had been
erunrted to Europe. and none Of it consumed Ut
home, Nevertheless, By not exporting it $780,
600, 900 wer. cared iu the ittm Of impotts;
75Q.O00 persons were supported; and home

The cotton, planting States very closely imi-
tate Tie policy Of farmer 4. They raise their |
cotton, sell it, and buy with the money what !
they do not faise, aud what they cannot tnanu-
taciure. At the cloee Of the .leas they are no |
better or tbsn at the beginning; aud in case |
their single crop should ta4. OF the cotton maE~
let should BECOME glutted, they would be ut. |
fe1ly ruined. II the cattls rascrs Of the North
prn States should turn their attention to some ]
other single branch Of agriculture, a. the cot
fpp raisers do, We should pay each year for
heef he's mutton, leather, butter, aud cheese, sum
far greater thar the whole vaine Of the much
boasted cotton crop.
We have not written this article with par
tt4an view: hut the Euiuous aiugiecrop, lTee-
trade, raw material, exporting policy, must be
frowned down By farmers.
