The val ue Of our staple crops of cotton,
sugar and rice may be safely estimated
ev en this year at Sl50, 100000 gold. We de-
duct the cost OF production in imported
supplies and labor. But these products
are carried abroad and produce
profit to the skilled industry of
others, greater perhaps than that of the
producer. Let us follow these products
abroad. Assume the sugar with the mo-
lasses at Sl5,OO0,000. Suppose the profit of
refining and distilling to be So, 500, 900. This
sum might be kept at home if we had the
same educated industry here as is supplied
by the distant refner and distiller. Assume
the cotton crop at 100000 bales, and the
value at $3.50, 000, 900. Let us follow this cotton
to the home or transatlantic mills. Fifteen
and a quarter million pounds of raw cotton
would produce something less than 4S,000,-
700 yards, which in plain goods and prints
would be worth here nearly 500, 100000 at
twelve cents yard. If this conversion
could be effected by some mysterious or
magical process known but to the
scientific elect, we must submit to
the Inevitable; but, upon Analysing
the operation by which this extraordinary
ADDITION to the field product is effected,

Tx REVIVAL Of the Democracy went

tan Club assembled, got no;--sI that
Tom Fitch had given in his adherence
to the cause. Tom, as everybody knows,
IL q good and conscientious man, pure
and above temptation and insusceptible
of guile he is such sad Jonah.
Really, Ellis, Clarke & Co. were doing
quite a swimming business with their
little Liberal Republican meragerie, In
1872 until, in an evil hour, Tom Fitch
vas called to deliver himself of a speech
or two in these parts; and then, the peo-
Die, thus made fully aware of the mock
ing insincerity of the parade, fell away
from it in silent distrust, and it crunbled
into ashes. Fitch was the killer of 1t.
He meant well Cor badly enough. He
had turned Jack Mormon at Salt
Lake, and got himself elected Senator
Of the United States from the never-to-
bs State of Deseret, and Lad been on to
Washington to get himself checked
through on what the boys call Jaw
bone" but finding that Grant declined
to take any stock in hin or his new
Mormon State, he suddenly became con-
vinced of the great crime of nepotlsm
and the direful need of having a cruel
and apple-buttsr President-so he start
ed to crusading and hippod-oming for

marked before, however, Toms coming
upon the field was more than the bud
ding cause would bear. The only fruit
it bore was the re-electins of Kendall,
Toms bete noir Of 20, to his seat in
Congrsss-and Tom wasn't stumpins for
him. Well, he has become a Democrat,
Tom has, and a Manhattan Club Dem

! MEMPHIS, Nay 8.
Letters from the lower parts of Arkan-
sas give more gloomy accounts Of the
sufferings among the people from the
foods. In the vicinity Of Bernard. Chi
cot county. thousands of persons are re-
ported destitute. their farms inundated
and their stock starving or lost. Three
hundred and fifty colored laborers at
Arkansas City send petition for help.
stating that they have only a few days
rations, and that those were furnished
by the planters, who have not enough
for their own families. The plantations
are submerged. the fences gone and
stock drowned in every direction.
This, it strikes US, is a much more
monentous phase of 1.-The Arkansas
Question" than that which involves .
consideration of the squabbles between
Brooks and Baxter. Not alone the
question of relief-toward which, we are
glad to note, Congress is moving with
becoming alacrity and iiberality of ap-
preparation; but the larger and more
important question Of putting on foot
such measures as will eventually make
the lower Mississippi coast safe from
these frequently recurring foundations.
Ii it is constitutional and proper for the
national government to dredge the
mouth of the Mississippi (which is within
the lines and jurisdiction of the State of
Louisiana,) or to build breakwa.er at
Wilmington. (which is town within
the shrievalty Of Los Angeles county,
California or if the Government may
which it does do. maugrs Estate SoveI-
eignity." it may dixie the banks of the
Mississippi. And in this case. what it
may do. it ought to do. We know, full
we'll. the difficulties and the expense.
We know that in order to build an ade-
quate levee along the Hississippi's
banks, it will be necessary to construct
like water barriers along the banks of
the lower parts of the Red and White
Rivers, and the many sloushs and chutes
that abound along the Father Of
Waters" from the Mississippi State line
to the Balize. But We can think of a
no more imperative duty that the Gov
eminent owes to commerce, nothing
which promises larger or better returns.
Certainly that magnificent region is
worth preserving from the danger Of
such disasters as have now come upon
it. and quite As certainly the strong
hand and ample resources of the Gov
eminent are needed in effecting such
preservation.

Indian Troubles In Otter Tail
County.

The Perham Neys of the 25th pub
fishes letter signed by VIM. L. Barnes
and W. S. Heathco.e of Deer Creek,
Otter Tail county, complaining that a
band Of IS or 80 Indians are encamped
in that vicinity, and that since the
Sanders Bronson affair uneasiness IS
felt at having them around, especially
VII n under the influence Of liquor,
which IS the case for great portion of
the time. For these reasons the local
officers are called on to remove the In
dams to their reservation, failing which
application will be made to Gov. Davis
for such assistance.
Commenting on the condition Of af-
fairs here stated, the Ners says the
tone Of the letter is an indication Of the
prevailing sentiment Of the people OF
that section. 1t further says that when
the Indians are sober they do no special
damage. but when under the influence
Of liquor-and they seem to have no
trouble in getting any amount Of it
they arc dangerous. especially in re-
gions where the settlers are scarce.
For these reasons it calls for the strict
enforcement of the law requiring In
dams to remain on their agencies.
