We hav" been trying to work out
the problem, how cotton can be
made to act as a Substitute for corn
and meat" We went as far into
the subject as our limited mathc-
mates would permit us, with un.
satisfactory results, aud the scarcity
Of material prevents us from try
ms tire field Of actual experiment.
We find theory has no pcrceptiblc
effect on the masses Of the people,
as long as cotton brings money. II
il were eXcbangeable only for corn
and bacon, we could base a very
rett!y argument ON the subject Of
commercial v%aluos, and by appeal.
ing to the stomachs instead of the
pockets of people, we might expos"
The fallacy' with which our produ.
class is deludod. So long ar

have hungry subjects, and those
who rebel against his authority and
plant corn will be better fed and
