Texas has raised this year over one
seventh Of the entire cotton crop of the
United Statcs-over six hundred and
eighty thousand bales. All nations are
vitality interested in the successful cul-
turr oicotlQu. Its growth and its uses
have marked the era Of our gNndest
civilization,
The general government, through its
agricultural bureaus, watches with any
i1rs eve the rainfall in Juue,aud learns
with di,may Of the appearance OF the
caterpillar in July And wellmay the
government feel deep interest in the
cotton crop prospects OF our Southern
States. Europe is the chief purchaser
Of This Great staple and two hundred
million. of dollars in gold is derived an.
ru.iN from this source alone to pay in
trr,,t ON American bonds held by Eu-
roprau capitalists.
Morris this interest, felt i'm the cotton
producing States, confined TO the Amc.
grm / Union The fgilure Of our crop
threatens with idlcucss halfthc ships Of
commerce. and half the inhabitants of
the civilized world look to our cotton
fields for raim,ut
Thus every consideration invests the
cotton culture with absorbing interest
and every effort Of industry and art, to
increase and secure this great crop, is
looked to with anxious national con-
cclu. Such is the adaptation of our
soil and climate to the production OF
cotton, ranking in staple the finest in
the world ) markets, that one-lth Of
her territory could produce an annual
crop greater than is now gathered from
all the cotton fields on the globe And
vet we have more than hundred mil
lion Of acres untouched by the pillow.
The time is coming, Mr.. President, and
that light rapidly,whcn we shall hold the
balance of power in the cotton exchange
Of the continent and our voice be
heard throughout the world with re.
