Cotton Futures and the Plant
erS' Journal.

For the Patron of Husbandry.
'The City of New York has
hitherto monopolized the summer
business of dealing in futures, and
it's money kings and spectators
non all the profits of the yearly cot
ton crop, raised in the prolific South.
But now this feature of dealing is
largely retained in New Orleans.
This is some
what unnatural, and perhaps par
takes Of the character of gaming.
x y The steady
growth and importance of this mart
as controlling center for establish
ing prices is becoming more appa
rent daily, and to all producers and
factors must be a source of much
qualification as we'll as profit. New
York operators
have established themselves in the
Crescent City so as to retain their
hold on the profits.
If this business must be INDUCED in,
and we presume there is no way to
stop it, even though it were posi-
lively settled that it was to the ben
eft of the planting interest that it
should be stopped, we want our
great Southern metropolis to have
the profits of it,"
The above quoted extracts are
from an editorial in the Planters
| fournaE for August, 1881, which is
the organ of the National Cotton
Planters Association of America.
Every statement of facts, and all
exhibition of interest in them as ex-
pressed in the extracts above are. SO
directly antagonistic to the interest
of the cotton producers, that were
if not their proposed organ, as Its
name would seem to indicate, the
money kings and spectators in cot
ton futures could properly claim
and adopt it as their own IN body
and soul in addition to all the proflts
of the yearly crop of the South
which they have "7Von' through the
somewhat unnatural means O.
gaming" How the establishment
Of brices at New Orleans or any
other place whatever, as controi
ling center by such means. and witt
such results, can possibly be

profit. to the cotton producers
thev will ever be at loss to under
stand until the Journal shall explain
for it seems the operators IN tn
oane have settled in the center o
Control, so that they can retain thel
hold on the profits. The Towrn0
seems doubtful whether it is to tn
benefit or otherwise of the plantin
interest that this game which
transferring all the profits of that IN
dustry into the hands of gambler

One fear whar o,r Granoa xy.s

One fear when our Grange was
first organized was that women
could not keep secret. but this idea
has proven to be false one. In
all the workings of the Order moth
ing is yet believed to have escaped
the lips of one of the female mem
bers where it should not be told
The reason is obvious, the wives and
daughters of farmers are not sur
rounded by the false glitter and de
ception of fashionable life; they
share the labors and sorrows of their
families; they are TREATED as equals
of their families; they are treated
as equals of and co-workers with
the men; their tastes are simple;
their aspirations pure. Many are
the city bellies who envy the robust
health, the blending of the lily
with the rose, characterizing the
country girl. The mere votary of
fashion NAV be able to keep her
OWL secret, but she does not always
keep those Of her friends. The ru-
raj maiden or wife keeps not only
her own, but also those of her
friends which may not be told. No,
sir, give US our women; their assist
ance in the workings of the Order
is Indispensable. Woman's work
in the Grange is to elevate and re
fine. Every husband and brother
knows that where he can be accom-
panied by his wife or sister, no les
sons will be learned but those of
purity or truth.
Brothers and sisters, we have adj
versaries who seek our destruction;
they come of hellish malice full,
but can never hurt us so long as we
stand united, striving to accomplish
the purposes for which our Grange
was organized. Our Bible teaches
us that every good gift comes from
the Father of light. Is not our
Grange a good gift? If so, let us
cherish it; let us put forth every eff
fort to build it mp, not forsaking the
assembling of ourselves together.
Let us be more sociable, be as one
family, and live together in uni
ty. Behold how good and how
pleasant it is for brothers to
dwell together in unity; it is like
the precious ointment upon the
head that ran down on the beard,
even Aarons beard, that went down
to the skirts of his garments, as the
dew Of Heaven and as the dew
that descended upon the mountains
of Zion. Then, together let us
sweetly live.
Then, in conclusion, dear broth
ers and sisters, | would say be We
steadfast. immovable. always a
bounding in the work of the Grange,
for as much as We know that your
labor is not in vain, and why should
we not work when through the in
strumentality of our noble Order
the slavish shackles of debt are IN
loosed and the banner Of liberty is
hoisted, when the hushandman can
quiet himself down in his piazza.
being surrounded by all the beau
ties of nature and monarch of all he
surveys, while the sweet music of
the birds warbling their musical
strains through the twining vines
that decorate his mansion and the
sweet gentle breeze of nature fans
the clustering rose, it will breathe
unto him the consoling thought of
being the favored of Gods creation
