Cay" While We always consider it q vcrJ
del cate and dangerous matter to volunteer
advice to Farmers in the matter of holding
or selling their cotton, it is gratifying to
know that this year the financial condition of
our Farmers is so much better than for
years past, they are enabled TO withhold an
important portion of The crop from market
while prices arc depressed. This we believe,
is one of the beneficial results Of the Alliance
organization.
The farmers will very soon discover that
it is not politics nor legislative relief enact

of every cilling arc taught to depend upon
their individual oxcrtions, and the less they
are taught to look to the government or
any other source, for relief or assistance, the
more contented, industrious, prosperous and
happy will they be. In eight cases out OF
ten, boys that are allowed to depend upon
their parents for food AMI clothing, and not
taught to rely upon their own exe-tions to
secure living, become poor, indolent and
Indifferent specimens Of manhood.
The same principle hclis good in all stages

earned is valued higher than the dollar given,

dollar must be earned before you can get it.
