Often, during last winter, we cautioned
o0rpeople against founding their hopes VI on
n large yield Of cotton VIC honestly believed,
from the lights then before us, that we were
but doing orr day. 1T was almost an i'm
possibility for the warnings to reach the ears
of those who had, for years upon years, con-
tributed to the growth Of the great staple Of
America. Persons who in 'G6 sold cotton at
40 and 50 cents per pound, could not be
made to believe thatsueh change as is now
experienced could possibly be brought about
Aad even now many Intelligent farmers are
at q loss to determine why the price Of cot
ton has fallen so low. The report Of the
Acting Commissioners Of Agriculture for the
year 1867, and dated Washington, Dec ,,
1861, places the figures before us, which,
upon careful study, cannot fail to convince
the most illterate man among us, that moth
( ing but natural causes have contributed to
the downfall of the supremacy Of American
cotton. Prom the report in question, which
has been carefully prepared from official
data, we learn the astounding fact that in
1859 the United States produced 2,0SG,o3,
bales OF cotton whlIc- brazil Egypt, india
China, and all MISCELLANEOUS quarters only
produced 743 600 bales; and that in 1866
the United States produced 3, I62, 745 bales,
while the countries aforementioned produced
2,5S6, 297 bales, clear gain in seven years
of one million eight Hundred and forty three
thousand ttoo hundred and ninety three
+ 6ales4 while the crop of this country was
actually reduced 923, 255 bales The figures
above given ought to be sufficient evidence
to prove to the most obstinate that Southern
farmers can never again, tax on or tax off
monopolize the cotton trade Of Europe, bat
for fear that enough has not been already
shown, we reprint from the same report the
additional fact that for ten months of The
year 1867, the Imports of cotton into Great
Britain were:
