EiaS~ On the first page of our supplement
will he found some interesting Alliance news
concerning cotton movements in many of the
markets in the Piedmont belt of the State.
The farmers have arrived at the natural
conclusion that every other class had long
since reached, that they have the right. when
they have anything to sell, to name their
price when n customer wishes to buy. That
is plain opcn-handed custom, TO which no
one can object. 1fyou go into n store to buy
pair of shoes the merchant tells you the
price he will take and you are not willing
to give that price it is your privilege to say
so. and the merchant has no cause to com
plain. So with the farmer, if his cotton cost
him eight or ten cents n pound to produce it,
he has the right to name the price he will
take for it, to yield him profit, and if the
| buyer does not feel that he can pay that
price, he, too, has the right to say so, and
decline buying,
In either case il is strictly honorable
business matter between the seller and buy
cr. and il seems to us that neither party has
any reason for accusing the other of dis
honorable intention. Unfortunately, there
are always some parties so full ofprejudice
and so suspicious Of other persons actions
and intentions, that they are ever ready to
suspect or accuse others of wrong doing, and
| cry "wolf! wolf when there is no wolf near.
They are not the safes. persons to follow, in
any matter requiring calm and impartial in
vestigation, with an honest desire to arrive
at strictly just conclusion toward all par
ties.

4 BACKsEr But NOT DsFEAr.-The ab an
donment by the New Orleans Exchange of
demand of IL pounds tare on cotton packed in
cotton cloth, is by no means significant that
rate will not finally be agreed upon. The
claim of the New Orleans Exchange, that its
action was forced by that of other exchan-
ges, is no doubt true. Memphis never ac-
ceptcd the proposed rate and the Charleston
exchange reconsidered its action accepting it..
What other exchanges may have done We
cannot state positively, but no doubt some
of them acted rs Memphis and Charleston
did.
a complete triumph of the movement for
the substitution of cotton for jute bagging
could hardly have been expected this year.
The change was too great for that, with the
scant means possessed for the manufacture
of the cotton bagging, and the custom, fears
and rivalries of the exchanges to be over
come But sufficient progress has been and
will be made this season to give assurance OF
success if the policy of the Alliances and the
planters is resolutcly adhered to, and we
are gratified that there are no indications OF
weakening as yet.
