no matter what they pla.
it is better for them to pIa-
crops-but the interest is what is eas-
them up now"
Upon this the Augusta Chronicle re-
marks:
''There is a deal of truth in this state
ment, and the promise of much trouble.
Colonel 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 arrangement. BY
parity of reasoning it would appear that
factors who make advances cannot trust
exclusive cotton planting or anything
that approximates it. Perhaps they
would have more confidence in farmers
who raise some of their own provisions
aud make at least a sturdy effort
at independence of food supplies from
abroad If the truth were known, il
would be demonstrated, we think, that
planters who diversity their crops are
either most favored, or else they are not
in the factors power at all. There must
be something radically wrong in South
ern commerce or agriculture when in
terest rates are high. Never before was
there such glut of money for loans or
investment, and never before was money
so cheap. In an article on the rate of
interest in the International Reoieao, Mr..
Edward Atkinson predicts that
the normal rate of interest
xw,tlI 81
for a long period, and that United
States consols at three per cent. could be
sold at par and would be more likely to
maintain their value than the bonds of
Great Britain or any nation Any Sc
curity that is reliable may be negotiated
at this time for small rate of interest;
aud it must follow logically that if plant
ers are at this period paying enormous
rates they are either swindled out
rageously or else have a credit so weak
and so bad that money is advanced them
at such peril that usury is almost, if
not quite, inevitable. Now, we are very
much afraid there is something in our
present system of agriculture that COM

He correctly represents us when
he says we have "horror of wind
