COTTON.

The price of middling Orleans in Liv-
erpool has continued to recede, and is now
o-Io pence. The indications are that it
will go still lower.
1t is true, the worlds stock of cotton is
far below what it has been at this season
for many years. Looking only at this,
many have been led to hope that the ope-
ming prices this fall would be high. But
it must be considered, that though the
supply is light, the demand is yet lighter
Hundreds of cotton mills are closed in
Great Britain and on the Continent;
thousands of spindles and looms are stand
ing still. The growing poverty of the
masses all over the civilized world, has
largely checked the Consumption of cotton
fabrics.s Hoping for a revival of trade,
manufacturers availed themselves of the
low prices at which they were able to
purchase cotton last winter and early in
the spring, and converted nearly all ofsour
immense crop into fabrics. But there
game no revival of trade, but in it's stead
an increased depression. The people,
grown still poorer, were unable to take
and consume the fabrics manufactured,
and these went to stock an already over
stocked market India and China offered
but poor market for these fabrics, be-
cause the people of Europe were too pow
erty-stricken to take the luxuries they were
accustomed to send in exchange, and sill
yer, their chief currency, had been demon
etized in Europe With low prices and
slow sales for fabrics, manufacturers can
not, even with wages down to the starva-
ton point, run their mills except at loss
Fabrics manufactured from cotton that
cost 81 pence, cannot be sold to-day at
profit: what inducement is there to con-
vert into fabrics cotton that costs 81 pence?
There is not one CLEAN of light in the
near future for the eye of hope to rest up
on. The cold damp spring, and the storms
and floods of summer, have damaged the
food crops in Great Britain and on the
Continent to an extent unknown for years.
A large portion of what the people would
nave expended 1Or ra1ment. must be USED
for the purchase of food. The consump-
ton of textile fabrics will be largely dimin-
ished and prices go still lower. The price
of food will advance: operatives must be
paid higher wages, or they will starve.
The cost of converting the raw material
into fabrics will be so much enhanced.
Millions of commercial capital now en-
ployed id the cotton trade, will be diver
ted to the grain trade-employed in the
purchase and importation of the vast guam
titles of foreign grain necessary to supply
the deficit in the food crops. The higher
rates of interest that will result, will still
further diminish the profits of the manu-
facturers-or rather they will add still
more to their losses.
To what ssource can they look for a
compensation for all these losses? Only
to one, and that one is a lower price for
the raw material. The price of cotton
must fall, or English and Continental man
ufacturers must stop their spindles and
| looms.

MEMPHIS

The outlook in Memphis is growing
more hopeful this week. The number of
new cases is diminishing, and there are
but few deaths. The fever has not been
declared epidemic, the number of deaths
from it being less than the number from
all other diseases combined. Everything
is moving on smoothly and quietly at last
accounts. Some of the turbulent leaders
are advising the negroes not to go into
the camps being prepared for them out
side the city, but to stay and demand
rations from the authorities Two trust
worthy and well-disciplined colored COM
panies under Capt Cameron assigned to
the command by Gov. Marks, are doing
patrol duty by day. These, with the po-
lice, will be able to suppress any riotous
demonstrations, and preserve order
Camps have been located-one seyen
miles south of the city: to these all persons
expecting rations must remove, as no ra-
tons will be issued in the city All per-
sons who have never had the fever are
Requested " 90 lilo CdlhPo, anu Ao oho;
not even physician, will be admitted in
to the city unless he has had the fever
No trains arrive or depart. The mails
are carried in locomotive mail-matter sent
out being first disinfected under supervis-
ion of officers appointed by the National
Board of Health.
The census shows that the population
has been reduced to 1910; whites 4,2S3
colored 1857; adults 1861, children s..
45o. Of these, 9,743 have had the fever
leaving only 6,3o7 subject to it.
There were sixteen new cases and two
deaths on Monday, six new cases and two
deaths to Tuesday noon.

The cotton seed oil companies reap a
rich harvest from the hard toll of our
farmers. Every one connected with these
companies make money-the leading
stockholders and officials are amassing
immense wealth, and all this is SO much
taken from the farmer and from his fields.
These companies practice cooperation
wisely and well. they have their central
organizations, delegates to which from
each oil company in the cotton States
meet at the commencement of each sea-
son TO adopt measures to advance their
interests One of these measures is to
parcel out the cotton growing section,
giving toeach company its territory, and
the remainder bind themselves not to pur-
chase any seed in said territory. This
gives each company monopoly in its
respective section, and enables it to put
down and keep down the price of seed to
one-fifth of its value.
Will the farmers of the Cotton States,
remain passive spectators of the operations
of these companies, and not lift hand to
protect themselves? The system of cot
ton.seed buying, as established and prac-
ticed by these companies, is nothing more
nor less than downright robbery, and its
sucoo9s is. due simply to the Ignorance of
the farmers

Half of the farms in the South ought to
be subdivided. They are too large for the
present system of labor. In few years
land owners will discover this fact, and
give the poorer classes chance to win
homes. 1t will be better for all when this
is done, adding alike to the prosperity of
both seller and buyer, and giving each

The true idea of government is well ex-

ARTICLE IA. The sole object and only
legitimate end of government is to protect
the citizen in the enjoyment of life, lber.

assumes other functions it is usurpation

cred few and the masses, in the confusion
of jarring claims, the Grange stands as the
rallying point, the balance power against q
crushing, centralizing moneyed despotism
The introduction Of the political feature
in the Grange enables it to carry its prin-
ciples into the legislative halls of the ma
ton and to oppose all measures which
tend to oppress labor.
Another point we wish to make. The
Grange essentially conservative, and fur
nishes stable, well organized, rational
and orderly opposition to encroachments
upon the liberties of the people, in con-
trast to the lawless, desperate attempts of
Communism. 1t furnishes political lev
erage-lifting into power men whose in
terests depend upon peace and order,
whose efforts will be directed to the main
tenance of harmonious and just admin
tration of laws which will insure the pros
perity of the country at large.
We are guilty of psrdonable ego
tism, we trust, in comMending our col.
umns to Judge Harris. We have no doubt
that the perusal of them would make him
convert to the principles of the Order!
1t rests with the farmers altogether
whether they will strive for the power
which is to be the preservation of our lib
critics. 1t can only be obtained by the
most constant watchfulness and vigorous,
earnest action. They should be intensely
alive, industrially, socially, politically!

Werejoice that at the primary election
in Oktibbeha county, Miss, last week, to
choose candidate for State Senator, a
farmer was selected-Mr. J. L. Crigler
received handsome majority over the
lawyer candidate. He will make a good
Senator, and we hope he will receive the
support of the farmers in Clay county,
which with Oktibbeha form the senatorial
district.

this year, the farmers should nominate and
