its utmost to destroy our merchant mar
inc from 1861 to 1865, and succeeded
only too well. But when Massachu-
setts man introduces such bill the fact
rather CRATES upon the nerves. The Old
Bay State has glorious memories of ship
ping in days gone by--of Salem and
Boston, East Indiamen and China tea
packets, New Bedford whalers and
smart longshore craft. The latter now
fly the Stars and Stripes, thanks 70 the
wisdom of the Republican party in its
early days. But the day Of the tea
packets and East Indiamen is past, and
of modern steam vessels we have a very
beggarly show.
1t is quite true that American mer-
chant shipping was still fairly prosper
Gus in the free trade days preceding the
war, but this was largely owing to the
sudden demand for vessels capable of
rounding Cape Horn or sailing to Pan
anna, caused by the gold excitement in
California. But conditions are different
now. Great Britain, France and Ger
many all pursue the policy derided here,
of granting liberal subsidies to mer-
chant vessels. The former in particu-
lar, whose example is followed so zeal
ously in other respects by American
free-traders, so strangely overlooked in
this, has long pursued this course, max
ing the captains of the big ocean steam
ships officers of the Royal Navy, and re-
serving the right to impress the steam
ships themselves in case of war. The
results of this policy are apparent. One
can so around the world upon British
fast steamships and railroads.
And that circumnavigation of the
globe would be every mile of the way
by subsidized steamships and rail
ways.
Here is the route: London by p. and
o. steamers to the Mediterranean, to
the Suez Canal, to Calcutta, to Hong
kong, to Japan; thence to British
Columbia by the Empress of India, as
fine steamer as floats; thence to Quebec
by the Canadian Pacific and connections,
subsidized by the Dominion government.
Quebec to London by mail steamer.
Against the subsidized merchant ma
rines of three great European powers our
ship builders and ship owners, without
like assistance, would be powerless to
compete.
Free ships" would mean ships built
on the Clyde or in Germany and flying
the Stars and Stripes. Do we want
them? Do our calkers and ship carpen-
ters want them on these conditions? Do
our iron men and miners? Do
our sailmakers? Do our filters and up
holsterers, furniture makers and decora-
tors? Do our engine makers?
In short, does anyone, except rank
and undisguised free trader?

other words that the average demand
exceeds the average supply. In the face
of these facts, what need to inquire
whether ii would pay the Southern far
mer to raise pork and corn and wheat in
the uplands for export, and poultry and
vegetables for consumption nearer home?
1t would pay directly, and indirectly by
making his cotton more profitable.
The Chattanooga Times, with full local
knowledge Of the situation, says more
wisely;
Now a word on the policy OF holding cot
ton for an advance" We cannot, in view of
the situation, see how an advance is To come,
before the size of the crop OF w shall be
known TO be, say million bales less than the
average of 80 and el. That cannot be known
before next summer; 1t may not be known"
then, for the crop may be as large as this
years. Will IL pay Insurance., interest, acci-
dents causing deterioration and other risks and
expenses, Ia carry from ST5,UOUO To xlU,OOO,-
OO worth of the staple six or eight months, on
such mere chancel We don't think IL will.
IL is our judgment that the better plan Is To
sell now, pocket the loss, and don't do so any
more"
In view Of the fact that in ten years
the cotton crop has increased "a per
cent. and its aggregate value only 81 per
cent, there seems to be force in the
Times suggestion. The conclusions of
the Memphis convention will be awaited
with some interest, North as well as
South

THE COTTON CONVENTION.

While the farmers of the West are re-
joicing IN large crop of cereals and in
good prices, the planters in the Southern
cotton belt are finding that large crop
in their case means low prices and in
many instances positive loss. This fact
lends peculiar interest to the Memphis
meeting soon to be held by the Agricul-
tural Commissioners of the cotton States,
when the situation will be discussed and
when conclusions of interest to the
planters may be confidently expected.
The situation is bad enough certainly,
when the Liverpool price of cotton diff
fers by but an infinitesimal amount from
the actual cost of raising it.
OF course IL is easy enough TO suggest
a remedy in a single word-diversifica
tion. The Southern farmer is suffering
from overproduction, and next year will
be no better than this, if the acreage of
cotton is not restricted, and if farmers
continue to neglect other more lucrative
crops. A difficulty in the way of re-
striction is, however, pointed out by
correspondent of BrddStreets, who ex-
plains that the country merchants and
been instrumental in continuing the in
crease of cotton acreage. When the
farmers go to the merchants to get sup
plies to start their crops, the first ques-
tion put to them is how many acres do
you intend putting in cotton? Should
the farmer say he intends cultivating
fifty acres, twenty-five in cotton and
the balance i'll corn, potatoes and other
vegetables, the merchant will say, Il am
sorry, but cannot do anything unless
you cultivate forty acres with cotton"
The farmers are therefore compelled to
change their tactics to meet the views of
those from they seek assistance.
Upon supplies $50 obtained ruinous
rate of profit is paid, and on top of that
a ruinous rate of interest, secured by
mortgage. In word, the South suffers
as no other section does from "a barbarous
system of credit. So long as the mer-
chant holds the key of the situation the
cotton glut may continue, for he prefers
dealing in one staple TO several, and
gets his percentage of profit whether the
price be high or low.
The New York Sun i'm discussing this
question airily remarks that "after all,
this years crop may be proftably dis
posed of, " which every careful student
of the market knows is extremely un-
likely, and il adds: IF the acreage de-
voted TO cotton must be reduced, what
other crop can be advantageously raised
by the landholders, who are aware that
the country is abundantly supplied with
corn and all kinds of grainf" That the
country is abundantly supplied with
grain is true; and il is fortunate that il
is so. But the Sun itself more than
three months ago proved. not only
that there was great shortage
OF the wheat crop Of the world but the,
visible surplus of that staple had been
steadil, decreasing fer some years, or in
