POUNDS
From Brazil, Egypt, India, China
and other foreign pOrts............4, 356 ,230
From the United States. ,I88,094
According to the official document from
which we quote, ten years ago the contribu-
ton of the United States to the European
supply was fully .foib'ffths Of the total
amount; now it is considerably less than the
receipts from other sources. To the man
who has foresight the facts and Fl cures given
above will be Of great profit; to the one
who has not, another session is the dear
school Of experience must be submitted to.
We sincerely hope and trust that our people
will not be led into the belief that the lifting
Of the tax on cotton grown after this yea1. is
step towards their redemption from the
difficulties that SURROUND them. Infinitely
better would it be for the Southern people
if Congress would double or tribe the cot
ton tax This may, to some be very strange
Language, but let those who shake their heads
and question the assertion, remember that
''the truth is powerful and will prevail
Especially let it be borne in mind that farm
labor in all foreign counties Is not one
fourth as high as it is in the South; here, it
costs not less than Is cents per day to feed
and clothe a hand, whilo in Egypt, India or
Brazil, it does not average over 124 cents
Until the price of provisions are lowered
labor viii rule high; as long as cotton is
produced, TO the neglect of provisions, we
cannot, as a people, ever expect to compete
with those countries that are now standing in
the great markets Of the world with as fair
samples Of the Aeecy king as was ever pro
duced in the Union. One way, and one way
only, can the Southern people ever derive q
Eroiit from the growing of cotton: Become
in every particular selEsustaining; this is
the great cornerstone then, ASIAN additional
farm product, grow cotton to the extent Of
our home consumption double the laboring
force in the sugar and rice plantations
This plain and simple policy, pursued for
five years, will enrich the South far beyond
what she possessed even in the days Of
slavery; viii turn the tables, make as an ex-
porting instead of an importing community,
and viii be the means Of lifting us from de
peadency to dictation that is, we can say
what we win take for our products instead Of
having to conform to the figures Of an en-
tire stranger If you desire prosperity, let
cotton alone if you love independence
grow gFain, raise stock, open your eyes to
