GS~ The New York Tribune thinks
that the high price Of cotton, and the pos
sibility that the negroes will abandon the
fields to swell political meetings this fall,
afford splendid opportunity to theSouth-
ern whites. It says: "There must be at
least one million white men at the South
who are not too rich to work for living,
nor get too poor to hire or buy few
acres of cotton land and span of mules.
Ev6n at twenty cents.per pound, it must
be within the power of these to grow and
pick ten bales of FIVE hundred pounds
each, amounting to one thousand dollars.
Arethey likely to do better? Ifnot, why
shouldn't they improve their opportu-
nifty and make enough cotton in 1872 to
buy themselves farms?'
