RAISE POOP
Instead Of paving out many millions Of dollars

should raise the bulk q It at home. Instead Of
paying many millions 70 the west for Hour and

HAkE COTTON TIE RESERVE CROP
Our cotton crop Is our great crop. and we
have relied heretofore upon the money we have
received from that TO furnish US al the other
necessaries Of life. For instance, we sell our
cotton and tase the money aud 20 TO tie west
or send il 70 the west and buy our meat and our
ard and our -four, much Of our corn. and every
thing that the western farmer makes.
II instead OF that course pursued the
opposite one, and made all these things at home
and held our cotton crop as a reserve fund for
investment, how much more prosperous We
would be. Instead OF paying 30 to 40 per cent.
margin for credit for bacon or corn, raise your
own bacon and corn and be Independent of the
merchant and the western farmer.
We have soil AMI climate that viii produce
whatever We need, and we have the advantage
Of all the other sections of the United States IN
having the cotton crop as a money crop. which
ought TO enrich US rapidly II we produce the
other necessariss of life at home. Raise little
less cotton, but be sure You raise more grain,
hay, cattle, horses, mules, hogs and sneep. The
man who takes that course Is independent at
home, and does not have to send the money
received from his cotton away 10 other sections
of the United States for his necessary supplies
and Is always pointed out as the most thrifty
man in the neighborhoo1, and why not have the
whole community thrifty, upen the same prin-
ciplei
Ny advice then to the farmer is, take good
care OF your land. Manure il carefully and
well. Let your cultivation be thorough and
deep. Put 10 smaller crops. Prepare the land
better and cultivate it better, and raise all you
need at home that can possb bly, be raised there.

He who runs in debt unuhoughtedly and I'M
guardedly soon become a borrower who is a
slave TO the lender 1t is much better to econo-
mice closely, pinch q little il necessary in your
living; do upon less OF everything rather than
accumulate debt which may take your farm
and other property from you.
AVOID DEBT.
repeat IL, avoid debt; but If you 90 in debt,
make il rule to meet every engagement
promptly, no matter what it costs you He
who never fails to pay debt on the day it is
due, as soon as his character is known, has the
command Of the purse of his county whenever
he needs money. Many a man has some money
put away that he does not wish to use for sixty
or ninety days, but be will not lend it out for
fear he may not get 1t back at the time he
needs IL; but IL a man comes along who is motel
for his promptness aud always pays when he
promises and the money lender has the money
to spare for thirty days, he will prefer the in
terest on 1t for that period and let him have it.
If one comes a ong who is noted for non-pay-
money TO spare to supply the demand.
Let me again repeat, avoid debt; but be
prompt in compliance with every promise. Bet
ter make a sacrifice occasionally to get the
money and maintain your credit for prompt
ness than fail TO do it. Not only avoid debt
but be careful and avoid extravaganza Ex-
travagant dress extravagant equpage and ex-
trayagant outfits of various sorts are all folly
unless man is able to support it, If he has to
go in debt for 1t, is worse than folly to have it
THE TARIFF.
The address next condemns the new tariff
law and urges its modification, and goes
into a long review of the progress made
since the writer was boy. In conclusion
the senator says:
My present term will soon have expired and
have announced my purpose to retire with
the expiration of the term. | will under no cir
cumstances be a candidate for another office Of
honor trust or profit. The few remaining days
of my life, il have any, l hope to spend in
the state where have been SO often honored
and among the people to whom feel the great
est gratitude and to whom am under everlast
ing obligations.
