Hon. z. III. HILL ON COTTON Pro


HON. =. H. HILL ON COTTON PRO
DUCFION.
As thegentlemau whosename appears
at the head of this article has recently
been elected to Congress, we copy for
comment his statement of our present
system of cotton culture as expressed
in an agricultural address q tell you
to-day 1 care not what seasons may
come, what large crops you may raise,
still under existing conditions, you viii
ever grow poorer who produce cotton,
and they will ever grow richer who
handle after it isprOduced. Under the
present policy the next generation of
Southern people will become the poor
est, the most powerless and the most
contemplate of earth's inhabitants
while under a wise policy the next gen.
Grafton of Southern people may be-
come the richest, the most powerful
and the most respectable of people.
Which destiny viii we choose?" Mr..
Hills Ideals that weshould make sup
port on the farm, and have cot
ton a clear money crop as gain.
As a general rule this is doubtless
sound; but there are many planters,
particularly in the Atlantic and Gulf
States, who know so much more about
raising cotton than grains, or pro-
duciDg grass, meat stock, wool or
horses, that they can no. shift their
farming operations without great risk
Of loss from ignorance and bad man.
agement. There are at least twenty
different trades in the arts Of tillage
and husbandry. Suppose a planter
understands one or two of these well,
and no more. Should he abandon the
trade he knows, to follow one which
he has yet to learn? No doubt the
South would be greatly promoted by
diversified agricultural and manufac-
turing industry; and to attain this OBJ
ject the people should sustain indus
trial schools in which the most skillful
labor, art and science may be blended.
This would be true progress.
How will you have a man or woman
understand the business of making
irst-class cheese who never saw acheese
dairy in their lives? 1t is easy to find
fault and scold, when the simple truth
is our people have no opportunities to
learn new pursuits in civilized and
highly cultivated industry. They have
no teachers of diversified agriculture; no
examples to follow; their education is
still rudimentary and in the embryo |
state. 1t Is absurd to expect a youth !
of either sex to learn any useful lesson |
which is neither taught, nor seen, nor
heard, nor felt IN the community. Our |
mechanical and agricultural schools !
are the merest myths.
Mr.. Hill does not touch the great |
evil In the way of suggesting an avail.
able remedy. 1t will hardly do to say
'be ye wise in all the productive indus
tries Of the most advanced nations of
the globe" OF what possible value is
such advice? No human being is made
wiser, or better off in his environment,
or estate. This language is high
and mystical, but like the
philosophy of Plato-Toz ct preterea
and nothing more"
Shadows pass too often, nowadays, for
craftsmanship, and vibrations of air
for sound agricultural knowledge.

ONE would think that half Of the
people Of the continent were proving
about, seeking for an opportunity to
sand bag Boss Bismarck. Plots for his
assassination are almost as frequent as
Ku-Klux outrages at the South on The
eve Of an election. And it is not at all
unlikely that these plots have for their
purpose something akin to the object
of the KU-Klux outrages, and are Just
about as real, and no more so.-Chjcaqo

strong as mems love Of drink. There
fore silk frauds naturally 60 hand in

renee, cztradited from Great Britain
on a charge Of forgery in New York as
q Custom house broker in connection
with the great silk frauds, Of which the
public got small mixing about a year

some extraordinary revelations con-
corning the corruption Of that depart
