Conversing with an intelli-
gent gentleman from the inte-
nor, we asked him ifhe saw any
immediate prospect Of improve
rnent in the condition OF the
farmers. He replied in SUBJ
stance that there was no silver
lining to the cloud; that the far
mers, as a general thing, after
the war, went into speculation
ran their farms upon that princr-
pie, and having carried it to
such an extent as to involve
themselves in debt, saw no way
of extraction, save by some
lucky hit, which many Of them
strive desperately to make.
Many, of course had lost all
and been compelled to abandon
the system, while a few saw
their error in time to save their
property. The latter, he said,
composed the class of thrifty
farmers who make their provis-
and sions supplies at home, and
are now on safe footing. He
thought a large number would
not be overtaken by total ruin
Of their fortunes, and forced by
by a dire necessity to begin
again-this time at the bottom
round Of the ladder. In the
olden time, he continued, farm
ers cultivated their farms for a
living and made them self-sus-
tanning, but now it was too
much Of a matter of speculation
in the effort to grow suddenly
rich. He thought no perman-
ent general prosperity could
grow out of such a system and
none need be looked for until a
change has been effected.
Hon. Thomas Hardeman
says: The great danger threat
ening the South is the usurious
rate Of interest the farmers have
to pay for their guano and pro-
visions. A merchant will not
lend them the money, for then
he could not get 8 per cent. in
tcrest. By selling them goods,
however, at a heavy advance he
gets from 80 to 40 per cent.
interest. When the farmer can
get money at low interest, or
provisions at cost with mere in
terest added, they will then
prosper, no matter what they
plant. Of course it is better
for them to plant mixed crops
but the interest is what is eating
them up.
Upon this the Augusta Chron-
icle remarks: There is a deal
Of truth in this statement, and
the promise of much trouble.
Coleman Hardeman knows
what he is talking about. He
has been behind the scenes.
The question then is how to get
lower rates of interest. 1t
would seem to be a certainty
that big crops Of cotton can not
effect this desirable arrange
ment. By parity of reasaning it
wouH appeart that factors who
make advances cannot trust ex-
elusive to cotton-planting or
anything that approximate it.
Perhaps they would have more
confidence in farmers who raise
some Of their own provisions
and make at least 4 sturdy eff
fort at independence of food
supplies from abroad. If the
truth were known, it would be
demonstrated, we think, that
I. anters who diversity their
p ops are either most favored,
or else they are not in the fac
tors power at all. There must
be something radically wrong in
southern commerce or agricul-
tljre when interest rates ar high.
