PLANrING- -SouSD ADyIcE.-A Mis-.
s'ss'ppi planter gives tho following ad.
vice
There is danger that our own mis-.
guided policy may do us moro injury
than any mere political movement.
Since our cotton is heavily taxed,
ought wo not to raise that which is not
taxed ? AS have said before, the best
and wisest protection Which we can
have against tho high tariffs aud high
taxes On our cotton, is to manufacture
tho cotton which wo raise, and might
add, to produce The food which we con.
sumo.
Ii we escape general confscation, then
there is danger HAT tn" policy we have
been pursuing (and fear will continue
70 pursnc) will produce general starva.
'nn. think it very prchablc that Mis-.
slss'ppl Is m worse condition to Gay,
so lar us the necessities oflife are con
cerned than she was on the day of the
surrender. 1t is AL owing I think to
our attempt to raise too much cotton, il,
which we have failed signally, aud
change of policy can only save us
raise our supplies and let cotton bo the
surplus. 1t requires muci, continuous
labor during The whole year, and is sub.
Jcct to SO many casualties it is not safe
to rely on IL as tho sole means of provi.
ding ourselves with tho nccess aries and
comforts Of life
The Lax on cation, al Alabama paper
says, Is equivalent to q rental OF, an
average, about seven dollars and fifty
cents an acre upon all the land planted
in cotton.
IT this should have the effect of divert
ing the attention Of planters from cotton
to the production OF corn and meat, the
South may yct be benefited, at the cx.
pense of New England manufacturers
, and North western farmers.
1t wonll be we'll irthc freedmen could
