That Is not very high price for one set

the farmer would have 10 pay. but for

on this set Of chains. Originally the set

WAR AND RUIN.

The European countries are going to ruin
through their vast armaments. Most of
them are expending in this way a proper
ton of the national income beyond what the
resources of their countries can bear. The
consequence is they are every now and then
obliged to borrow. In this way national
debts are continually heaping up, but when
soever do we hear OF European national
debts being paid. Even the English owe to-
day the same eS00,OO0,0O0 that it owed in
1915, when it sent Napoleon to Helen
What is to be the final results of debts ev er
accommodating, never diminished? The debts
are not paid, but every year immense sums
are drawn from the people to meet the inter-
est. The result is that the people become so
impoverished that they leave their native
land, where they cannot prosper, and seek
homes under distant skies. Germany is
among the foremost sinners against every
dictate of common sense in this respect, and
her people swarm from her surface as bees
quit hive. The young, the vigorous, the
active, they that should contribute toward
me public burdens, 60 away, and their
try that is trampling upon every rule of
prudence. Intelligent Germans see the
abyss toward which their country is
steering, and in the present session of
the Reichstag they have called attention to
the monstrous demands made for the cup
port of the army. Bismarck, their leader,
is blind to v hat is so obvious. In his reply,
a. ola
that the safety of the country from possible
coalitions m ade the millions Of German bay
onets necessary. He does not see that the
vast ornaments of Germany make it neces-
sary for other nations TO arm in proportion
for their own safety; that German armies
are a standing threat of hostility to other
countries; that it provokes their neighbors'
fears and arouses their enmity. Sufficient
for safety is wise; sufficient for conquest is
an invitation to nations endangered by Ger
many to- combine against Germany. The |
debt and impoverishment vast armies bring
do not avert danger, they invite it. Will |
the German people themselves always bear
with patience what is crushing the light of
them? Safety from invasion is good thing, |
but so is safety from poverty, and |
want, and unrewarded toll. To have |
all these to endure, year after year,
without hope of release; to have not |
only high taxes wrung from them, but |
their youth, those who should assist the old |
aud support the wives and mothers, torn
away from home-all this is buying safety |
at dear price. In the words of the St.
Louis Dispatch: "The Europe OF 1882 is lit

THE COTTON SYNDICATE.
It's Purposes and Plans, Explained
by the Protector, Colonel q. X.
C0ckriII. of Arkansas.

In letter to the New Orleans Times Dem
oerdt, the Pine Bluff correspondent of that
paper gives the following interview with Col
onel S. K. Cockrill, vice-president of the Cot
ton Planters Association OF the United
States, as to the proposed cotton syndicate:
respondent-Colonel, L have called to
ask you few questions about the "cotton
syndicate" and also the cotton-mills you
hope to have built on your plantation.
Colonel Cockrill-I have no objection TO
answer your questions.
Correspondent-Will you explain what
you mean by cotton syndicateW
Colonel Cockrill-It is the combination of
the capital of the cotton spinners of Man
chester, in England, with the capital of the
cotton growers of the United States to build
cotton-mills in the cotton belt.
Correspondent-How is this combination
to be made?
Colonel Cockrill-Manchester has now rum
ming 80 000,0 900 Of spind in cotton alone 1t is
the largest, richest cotton-spinning city in
the world, and is $500 miles from the cotton
fields, and requires over 3 1000, 900 of bales of
cotton per annum. The cotton growers pro-
pose to build Southern cotton-mills, in the
shape of cross, one-story high, 100 by 20
feet each wing, engine in the center. They
further propose to grow the cotton and de-
liver it in the mills, in sacks, to run the
same a year. They further propose to grow
the provisions for the operatives. The Man
chester spinners are to take "stock" in the
mills or to take bonds of the mill company
bearing eight per cent. interest, due in
twenty years, TO purchase all the necessary
machinery to make yarn in these mile. They
are to furnish the boss managers and
trained operatives from the Manchester
mills for three years. The cotton growers
who furnish the cotton are to pay to the
mills four cents pound, for spinning yarns
for heavy goods, either in money or yarns.
If the English spinners take "stock" in the
mills Instead of bonds, then the growers are
to guarantee not less than eight per cent. on
the stock. Cotton growers then sell their
cotton in bales of yarn instead of lint, all
expenses between the mill and field saved,
all expenses for bagging and ties saved, all
expenses for interest on capital to buy cotton
for mills saved, and also for the sale OF
goods. The cotton is neither pressed nor
compressed, but goes to the cards as it comes
from the gin. This combination, sir, is the
"Cotton Syndicate"

WANTED IN NASH
WILLIE.

The doctrine of protection is indoctrinat-
ing our people with strange ideas, and the
notion that each city should be protected
against the country, each town against the
county, and each State against every other
State, is one that appears to be spreading.
We have mentioned instances in which pro-
lection has been called for in this way. For
instance, the City Council of Clarendon, Ark
was appealed TO to tax the country people
entering the town with meat for sale, the tax
to be inflicted for the proection of the butch
er's shop in the town. We find another case
in Nashville. On Saturday last the Fruit
and Vegetable Association of that place had
a meeting. We learn from the Banner that
there was discussion upon taxing persons
from distance who came to buy vegetables
for shipment. Some speakers in the discus
sion that took place were of opinion that,
when a man from Cincinnati came to Nash
vile to buy it was contrary to reason to tax
him for giving his custom, for he was of
great benefit to the producer. The result of
the discussion was that a committee of
five was appointed, in the words of the Ban
ner, "to prepare the facts and present them,
with memorial, to the City Council for pro-
lection" The nineteenth century, an age
of enlightenment, the spread of education
and the capitol city of great State applies
Tor protection" against persons coming into
the State to purchase it's producesi There
are evidently profundities in the great doc
trine of protection that all of US have not
penetrated yet.

IMPORTATION OF VEGETABLES.

We have had no little grumbling about
the price provisions have reached since the
loss of crops by the drouth of last summer.
Much inconvenience has been felt, but for
what science has done in giving us the ocean
telegraph and the steamship, the scarcity
would have amounted to distress. When
the deficiency of crops became evident, those
human ghouls who are always looking out
for prey, and to whom tears, and blood and
famine, are matters of moment only SO far
as they can be made means of gaining money
were preparing to buy up all the food pro-
ducts they could grasp, and "hold them for
rise" The ocean telegraph conveyed the
news to Europe where, fortunately, there was
out for. In magnificent proportions ship
ments were made to our shores of potatoes,
cabbages, beans, caulihowers, turnips, beets,
carrots, and ether veget ables, and the steam.
ships brought them over before the ghouls
could realize any extensive transactions. In
this way prices were held down far below the
figures that would otherwise have been
reached, and no approach toward ga food
panic" occurred. As specimen of the ex-
ten. of business that was done, we may men
ton that in 1SS1-S2 the total number of
sacks of potatoes reaching New York from
Europe was 1, lbs, 457, from October to May,
inclusive; other cities besides New York also
received large cargoes.
