THE TARIFF ROBBERY.

Some dcmagogucs claim there is nothing in the tariff, yet under the Mckinley high tariff law farmers are taxed l5c. more on the cotton ties on each bale of cotton, which amounts to S1, 200, ,OO0, on an eight million bales crop this is virtually stolen from the farmers of the South.
 Under the infamous Mckinley high tariff law, depression and disas- ter exists, and the price of cotton has declined nearly 40 per cent. and yet the price of goods manufac- tured from cotton has not declined, but advanced in many cases, because of the increased tariff laid npon such goods if imported. Mckinley'' robber tariff has done all this, and much more might be said of 1t.
 Yet the so-called reformers ( ) say there is nothing in the tariff. They are either knaves or fools, to make such assertions.
 Looking at the question from different standpoint-the taking Of the tax off of sugar proves there IS something in it. Nearly twice as much granulated sugar can now be gotten for dollar, than before the tariff tax on it was taken off. Sure ly this is patent and clear to any reasonable man. This is by far the most important question of the hour, for, as MT. Mills says, should money be ever so plentiful, unless this IS properly adjusted, it would all finally be concentrated into the hands Of the manufacturers trusts and com pines, who are so highly protected and benefited by this infamous rob Der tariff system.

Sundays Arkansas Gazette gave an alleged report of the condition Of cotton in nearly every county in the State. Reported from Nevada and Hampstead counties that cotton was doing well-no boil worms or rust. If the statements from other coun- ties bear no more truth than from these two, it was all false and untrue. Both the boil worm and rust have been injuring cotton, and that badly for ten days. It is just such false reports as this that depreciates the price of cotton before it is made. If the Gazette had read this paper last week it would have known better than make the report it did.

The Hcber Jacksonian, Arkansas Press, Pine Bluff Graphic and other papers are coming out strongly against the present State Constltu- ton. We, too, want to see change. As long as the present one lasts Nevada county will remain S20, 900 in debt, as the tax levy now.allowed barely keeps up the county, and this debt has been made by building bridges, etc. As our scrip is now worth only 50c. on the dollar, enough is now lost by the people in four years to pay off the debt. Let us have a new constitution.

The Batesvlle Guard very pertl- nently says: "Onr third party friends insist that the currency ques- ton is the most important in nation al politics. The currency question is always important, but the distr'bn- ton of wealth is always more impor- tant question. What permanent benefit would an increase in money bring to the people under the ex- isting laws, which make favorites of manufacturers, pensioners and other special classes. In a very little while they would have it as thor oughly in their possession as they have the money now in existence. That which we first need is a read justment of tariff laws, SO that each one may be able to retain his right full share of the wealth of the country. Then the currency question may be treated intclligently and to the best interest of the people.

RAISING COTTON.

For decades past cotton has been known as the king of products, and has we'll deserved the name, as 1t yielded more ready money to the farmers in the cotton belt than any other product. But it seems that 1t is no longer king, as there is little demand for. it,and the price now paid for the staple is below the cost of production. It is high time for the farmers and the entire people of the South, to seriously consider the question of raising cotton. If only half as much cotton was raised, as much would be realized from it. Our soil and climate is adapted to raising almost any product, and any thing will pay better than cotton. Many farmers buy proyisions-corn, meat, lard, syrup, ctc.--on credit to make an almost exclusive cotton crop. This is wrong, and those who do it acknowledge it, yet go on doing the same thing
 At this time there is over million bales of cotton, surplus left over from last season, and middling cotton brings less than Sc, per pound at the cotton ccntcrs, which would he about 61c, here, after deducting freight Oycr-production and other causes have brought cotton to this low figure, and it will ruin the farmer if he keeps raising it at this price. Nothing can more thoroughly cnslavc him, and when he is ruined the whole South is bankrupted. Hence we say let us stop and consider.
 There are but two ways to remedy the matter-really but one feasible. plan. One is for the farmers through their organizations to organize and hold their cotton out of the market, until it ceases to be glutted, and the prlce advances. This could proba- bly be accomplished if properly man aged, but such thing is not proha- blc, in view of the depressed condl- tion of the farmers, and the short time in which to do it. Nothing else can can help them this season, unless the crop is cut short in some way The other plan is for farmers to go into compact, in the years to come, to limit the production of cot ton-could do this through their agricultural organizations
 In discussing this question it is well for Us all to determine to cut down eXpenscs-spend less money. 1t is far better to live hard, and re- tain our manhood and independence, than to go deeper into debt and vir- tually become slaves. This applies to us all-farmers, merchants, me- chanics, lawyers doctors, and all for every class must suffer from the financial depression and low price of cotton.
