Our GREAT STAPLE.
Tho Fuiurr "f Cotton Trodu"tinm in the
Tuitcd Siat"-.

The idea has been very prevalent that
the production Of American cotton was
on too large a scale, that the market was
glutted to such an extent that prices
which would remunerate the planter
were rot obtainahle, and the southern
press have almost unanimously taken up
the cry, put in more grain, raise your
own supplies, more food crops and less
cotton" and this has not been entirely
without benefit to those for whose adyan.
tage the cry was raised, as it has induced
thousands to grow their own breadStuil3
and raise their own meat, who formerly
gave their undivided attention to the
cotton crop alone But 1t has not had
the effect Of diminishing the production
of the staple; on the other band it has a
tendency to increase it, as the more self.
supporting the planter becomes a' re-
CARDS the supplies necessary for his daily
wants, and the feed required for histeams
and stock, the less money he has to pay
ont to the provision merchant and the
more he is able to devote to the i'm
proved cultivation OF such land as is al
ready under crops, to the breaking up of
new ground and bringing it into Il state
of cultivation, thus increasing bis pro-
ductiyr area.
That tbc excess of suppIyover demand
tends to the reduction OF prices below a
proftablc fpure is undoubtedly true, but
that this excess exists or is likely to exist,
we very much question. and the problem
naturally arises, how much American cot.

most parts boats cannot approach with

river having sufficient tall to allow of
its being done. At present the outlet
from the lake to the river is closed mp
by saw.gra.s and ,iiy-pads, throwing the
waters OF the lake, in the rainy season,
into ths Everglades. What \ Grand
