NIERCHANTs


in the world ever enjoyed so complete a
golden field as the merchants of the
South. Why? Because they have the
exclusive right to price and ways, not
only to the products of the entire South,
but that of the North, East and West,
for their customers.
You may ask why submit to
such high-handed dealings. The
reason is obvious. First-No farmer
is forbid selling his cotton by law, or
which is the same thing, by consent of
action between the sellers and buyers of
cotton. Second-We have had ad-
yances, and as q matter of policy, to Sc
cure future advances, We throw the SELL
ing, storage, insurance and pickings
into their hands. Third-Not having
the money, we can only get goods at one
place; hence, pricing does not amount
TO anything. The question is to get
them, and pay for them at any price.
Why this state of affairs? The reason
is likewise obvious. First-We are one
or two years behind, and are not able to
turn a new leaf-that is, if we quit
cotton the merchants will quit us, and
TO do so we would suffer muehly.
SecOnd-The labor system is such that
they will not raise grain and stock, for
two reasons. First-They work for the
quickest returns that will require the
least attention-that is, they never look
more than one year ahead-therefore
they wish TO have their labor in that
which they can convert into money the
easiest. Hence, if we were to
PLANT MORE GRAIN,
and start our herds of cattle, sheep and
hogs, they would not cultivate the
corn, as that would not be ready money
to them, or attend the herds only at
unreasonable hours, when all the prof Is
would fall TO their share.
Seeond-The only way we can get the
negro is on the shares, or rent to him,
for two reasons: First-They have q
concert of action between themselves,
through their societies, not to work for
any white man on the farm for wages.
Sec0nd-There is so much cleared land
in proportion to the labor as it is, that is
now running to waste, and being eat up
by high taxes and interest on old debts,
that the majority of landholders are glad
to get them on their places on any plan;
therefore, labor dictates terms as well as
capital, and we could, disorganized and
in debt, as we are, fix the rate Of taxes
OF interest on capital as easily as We
could govern and control the labor sys-i
tenn. Hence, yod see, from this state Of
circumstances, that it is impossible TO

Tns Nonrn VA. rnn HoUrn,- Recently
In the lower house Of Congress Mr., llern.

In company with Major Jno. Andrick Of

within his gentle bosom, he repaired to

duence Of the silver mounted whip which
20 local aourished behind her, and soon
bore us beyond the city limits upon tho
wide plains which stretch out like an an
ending scroll east Of the Mckinney road.
We paused to read upon the beau tifnl
landscape the handwriting Of the AL
mighty which, more than all things else,
gives to the vast plains of this grand old
commonwealth their grandeur and roman
tic beauty. We passed hourising farms,
enc losed by substantial fencing and ten
anted by enterprising and industrious
men, who have stocked their barns and
bins most plenteously with the fruits Of
their labor Over the far stretching pra-
irie " lowing herds" were intently grazing
while agentle breeze from the BOreal re.
gions served to remind them that bleak
winteris not yet over. Any number Of
pilgrims, from other states, who have
been driven from their old homes by the
political expressions of radical govern
mcnts, thronged the road, and with their
cheerful faces told too plainly for doubt that
what they saw before, around and shove
them was all they could desire under
Heaven for their comfort happiness and
prosperity in life. Now and then " SOL
itary horseman with his jaded steed en-
veloped in saddle and ropes, would put in

if they had been specially deputed to over

have been heard since the occasion of his

The Major had carried along in case of

Our Street Rail Way

\ Our Street Rail Way
a Is an institution in its way, and a
tgrand one too. We Dallcs people are very
proud of the appearance it imparts to our
central thoroughfa fare and we take any amt
of interest in standing upon the sidewalk
and gaging on the beautiful cars as they
pass by in genuine metropolitan style.
We delight to see the girls and the boys
crowding and laughing at being crowded,
as they do some times when they 60 ON a
''bit of spree" by taking 'jolly ride
on the street car. We reoollect our first
experience in the business with vivid terror
lIaw we got in between two nice young
ladies, and how these two multiple d
themselves untile the whole of the female
sex seemed to be concentrating o focus on
that unemiable seat to which IN unkind
fate had doomed us. We recollect how it
was that We tried to extricate the mex
perienced local who now, relates this sad
experience, from the Dilemma the cur
rounding circumstance entailed upon him
on that occasion, and how he was baffied
in all the strategic movementshe concocted
by the merry girls who had determened to
annoy him.
We arose gracefully from the seat we
selected. on first inspection, but before we
made the passage between the beautiful
Scylla iwho satopposite to the mischevious
Chyribdis by our side, dainty foot some
how or other interposed itself and for fear
of hurting that little pedal we fell, not in
one place nor altogether at one time. II
was first on one girl who screamed gen.
tie scream of terror, which set our heart
10 palpitating long roll, and then with
bound and q rebound we ran foul OF
about sixteen laughing beauties who each
gave another scream, but this time il was
in chorus, full Of pathos, we thought and
just sufficiently tinged with pain to make
the drama real. We tried our bdsso pro-
fundo in apologies, but it did not drown
the exclamation of "he is crazy girls" "let
him out OF mercy my bonnet" and thou
sand other things said on that memorable
occasion are too nu merous to mention. 1t
broke, our, penchart for staeet cars for a
while because we were SO bashful then,
but we are equal to such scenes now and
don't care how many bumps and jumps
andscreams may get after us on the cars.
We set everything down to sensation
now adsys and the peculiar one Of riding
in the cars with bevy Of bright girls is
our glory.
