DEALING IN FUTURES.

Capt Buchanan introduced bin in
the Legislature on last Friday, entitled,
"an act to prohibited the sale and pur-
chase Of Futures in the State Of AIissis-
sippi
We remember advocating before the
State Grange in 1873 a resolution pro
viding for the appointment ola COM
mittee to memorialize the law making
power upon this very subject, and we
are heartily glad to know that the mat
ter viii be brought before the present
Legislature There is no species Of
gambling more fraught with evil to our
country than dealing in futures. The
allurements Of this pernicious system
Of speculation, has begotten a hundred
fold more bankruptcy, in the South
during the past fifteen years than the
Poker table, the Faro bank and the
Wheel Of fortune all combined, and we
are not so sure it has not been the
father Of more moral degradation.
1t has done more to rob the producer
and build up the money centres than all
else beside Who does not know, that
the price Of breadstuffs. meat, lard and
our greatstaple, cotton, isnot goyernedby
the law Of supply and demand, but By
the money bags Of the dealer in futures.
who is a "bear" until the produce leaves
the hands Of the farmer, and then de-
yelops into a full grown "bull.
It is true the passage Of the bin now
before the Mississippi Legislature would
do but little towards correcting this
terrible evil, nevertheless it is a move
in the right direction, and we sincerely
hope it viii pass and become law.
