In spite Of the cable kilograms regard
ing the enormous yield in Egypt this wear.
it is very evident that Europe will need a.
many, if not more, bales from us this sea-
son than the above figures show. The
crop Of East India cotton is partly q iqjl-
uTe. and is now well known. Besides. the
United States will require fully 100000
bales for home consumption, and probably
more. Looking fairly at the prospect,
then, it becomes evident that there viii
be demand for at least 5000. GOO of bale,
and a supply of only 100000, showing
deficit Of 100000. Under these circrm-
stances the planters are not to be censureJ
for refusing TO sell at under twenty-five
cents per pound. The advice given 10
them to hold their crops at thirty cents ia
unwise, but they can and ought 10 get
what they now demand.
QUALITY or THE PRESENT CROP.
OF sea island cotton but little has been
made this season. A considerable area Of
land was planted, but the Caterpillars des
troyed nearly the entire crop. As CON-
pared with the yield Of last yesr the total
number Of bales this year will be about %

When the present crop FIST Appeared IN
the market cotton was selling fox an ave-
rage of tWenty-seYen cents per pound ir
the South. At the North ii averaeed
thirty cents. Planters took adyantgre Of
these high prices and sold without Ielsv.
Their experience last year, when tlcv
were forced to sell for from twelve 10
fifteen cents per pound TO spectators wl1
subsequently, ran up tie price 10 thirty
two cents, warned them against DELAY. crl
thus the market was rapidly and literally
supplied with the staple The elsc. has
been to reduce prices and az The present
time Of writing, cotton brings twenty. FIVE
and a half cents in New YORK and an
average Of twenty-five and q half in The
South. Those planters whose lands have

Gold is steadily tending to I $50.
The cause Of this startling fact has
been unacountable, or ut least Itifi-
accounted for, but is now apparent
in the, published ,atstemant. of the
national debt. No wonder the
country is slarmed-the sholders Of
gold advance its price-that conf
dence is shaken, that hard times pre-
vail, and that the tokens Of 6nan-
cial revulsion IRE Ill around u.s.
The semi Official report Of Com
missioner Wells, . radical campaign
document, admits that the taxes
collected for the year ending July
1st, amounted to $474, 900, ,0OO.-
The statement of the public debt
which will be found in anothcr coli
umn, shows that it now amounts in
round numbers to 81, ,524, 600, 900
an increase of over .$13, 600, 600
since the first day of June. Tho
July statement was not published,
for the reason, probably, that the
increase up to July 1st was greater
than it now appears to be; and for
that reason, in violation of law, the
statement was suppressed. The
statement published June 1st show
cd an Increase in the debt during
:hc 49, month of May of almost $1o,-
900, 0JG. The czacr increase s::::oe
May 1st is as follows:
Increase to June 1st, S9,717,059
Increase to August lst 13,ss8,594
Total increase in months 23,O05,6
The Increase is over 1923. 900, 900
in three months. This makes the
debt ST., 100000 greater than it
was July 1st, 1867. And much OF
the interest then payable in currcn-
cy is now payable in gold, by the
mad system of radical inanciering,
by which the burden upon the peo-
pie is propoytionatcly increased.
But look at the picture which tho
radical policy presents: 80
Taxes collected in one
u. year, SA74,OOO,OUO
Increase of the debt in -
8 months, 3,OOO,OOO
How long can the country stand
it.? How far off is total bankruptcy!
How soon will gold be at 200 or 800
with this terrible profigacy, cor
ruption, extravagancc and open
thievcry by which the radical party
collects from ths people $474, OOO.-
600 taxes in = year, aud increases
the debt $23, 900, 900 in three
months :! Think over this between
now and clcction.-StPaul Pioneer.

TIE pARABLE OF THE POUNDS.

THE PARABLE OF the POUNDS.
The following is translation Of
an article which recently appeared
in the Chicago Union, eouehed in
scriptural language, and affording
an apt illustration Of the position
Of the bondholders to the people.
"And he taught the people and
spakc unto them parable" i: ~
In the paradise Of the bondholder
is it as with the man who borrowed
from friend $40, 600 in gold.
But when the war came, and the
chief council at Washington declar-
ed that debts should be paid in
grecnbacks, he went one day and
bought with his $4,000 in gold
$25, 900 in grecnbacks., And he
took thcrefrom $40, 900. and went
to his friend and said, "Herc, my
friend, take what I owe theo.
But tho other said, II loaned
thee gold, and thou should'st repay
me in gold"
"Unbelievcr.' - cried the other,
'rcad this s'This note is . legal
tender for oil debts, private and
public - etc. l, as loyal man,
show myself willing and obedient TO
the command Of the chief council.
Thou wilt rcsistthc laws Of the land
Thou art a coppcrhcad and . traitor.
Here, take that which is thine own.
and 60 thy way
And. as the loyal man would not
bury his pound, he went and bought
him, with the remaining SIS, 900
which he had honorablJ earned by
this loyal trade, United States fivcs
twenty bonds. which nctted him an
income of 5000 in gold, or 81, 500
in tho money of the land, about Is
per cent. "And he clad himself in
purple raimcnts.
And when he wished to increase
his talents, he deposited his bouds
in Washington; and it came to casa
that he received permission to take
from the people many thousands Of
dollars more every year, because
license was given him to issue ma
tional-bank notes at usury.
"For l say unto you, that unto
every one which hath not, even that
which he hath shall be taken away
from him. H
Tncn spoke the chief council I:
"This loyal fellow shall be free
from all taxes and assessments . rs
"And, = cried the republican con-
vention at Chicago, ''Laborers and
taxpayers, be OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ABLE HONORABLE! Paythis loyal
man, who is in necd, with GOLD
