During the past three or four weeks ri has
made us feel sad to see three or four stannch
anti-lottery newspapers go ever to the lottery
side-Alexandria Town Talk
We do not know of a solitary ti-lot-
terry paper that has gone over to the
lottery side" but there are several such
papers that have gone over to the sup
port OF McEncry and the balance OF the
regular Democratic ticket. The fact is
that throughout the whole State, as well
as here in the parish of St. Landry, there
are thousands of Democrats in the anti
ranks who have sense enough to know,
and honesty and candor enough to ad-
NIT, that McEnery and his ticket were
the choice, fairly expressed, Of major
ity of their party, and that they are
therefore, by all the rules that bind hon
Orable men, justly entitled to their sup
port. These Democrats, ants though
they he, are not politicians or otfice-seek-
ers, and hence their judgment is not
warped by an inordinate longing for the
"loaves and fishes of official position !;
they therefore manfully recognize the
fact that not only common honesty, fair
ness and good faith hut the triumph of
their party and the preservation OF peace
and good government in Louisiana alike
demand that they should bend all their
energies towards the success OF the Nc
Emery ticket. And it is tbis-not any
weakening on their part on the lottery
question-that worries the Town Talks

Hon. Robert ?. Hunter, of Rapides,
has not produced any evidence in reply
to the published challenge for proofs,
aud which he intimated were so readily
obtainable, to show that the Lottery
Company contributed to the McEnery
campaign fund at the same time that it
gave Gov. Nichols $4,000 to "call off
the dogs of war" and keep silence as to
the lottery in the platform of 1888. The
McEnery campaign managers reaffirm
that not one dollar was contributed by
the lottery to the McEnery cause, and
very broadly insinuate that the authors
of the SANDER are aware of its falsity.-

THE COTTON DEPRESSION.

- WASHINGTON. April l. Something
must be done" says the department ot
agriculture, "or agriculture in the south
will suffer worse than it ever has in the
west. The cotton crop, now worth on the
plantation scarcely $500, 000, ,000 will not
suffice to support 14.0O0, 600 people of the
ten cotton states south of Virginia. A
product yielding $22 per head will neither
enrich nor feed people. OF course only
three-fourths of this population is en-
gagged IN agriculture, and not all are grow
ing cotton. But more crops must be grown.
II is suicidal to bring hay into purely
agricultural country, to buy flour where
the labor that would produce it is wasted,
to 90 to the west for meats when they can
be produced cheaper than in the west.
This is not all. Not only should these
states be self-supporting, but they should
produce larger part of the sugar now i'm
ported, and save millions of dollars in
hbers now brought from Mexico and Yu-
catan, from China and the East Indias.
The bananas and pine-apDles OF the tropics,
aOw very remunerative to south Florida
sultivators. could be multiplied hundred
fold. and many other fruits i'll proportion
IN some respects the south has the richest
agricultural heritage Of any portion of
North America. It is in the power of the
southern farmer To command the highest
prosperity, and this decline in the price of
cotton may prove means to so beueficent
an end
These conclusions and recommendations
are based upon an investigation of the
cotton surplus. There must be a reduction
of the cotton area. The product is now
far beyond the demand.
Two years ago when the price of corn
WAS the lowest ever known and, as the re-
suit Of the production of more than 1000
100000 bushels. and the price of wheat had
L.,
producing il, the price of cotton was we'll
sustained in the markets of the world
Cotton seemed TO be an exceptional crop,
and growers secuted the suggestion that
the supply was dangerously near the dan
ger limit. IL was not for lack of examples
of sudden fall in values, as result of
oyer-producGion, that this Indifference to
an immutable law was exhibited. The
government StatlStlclan once noted as n
result Of an official crop reporting, an in
crease of oue-third IN the breadth of cot
ton planted. and at once predicted fall
10 10 cents per pound. The average ex-
port price OF that crop growa in 1910 was
just l4.9 cents. and the growers received
many millions less Tor it than tor I,20J. 90
bales less the previous year,
The commercial supply of cotton pro-
Cuced IN this country, IN trois, Egypt and
Brazil, as reported By Ellison, was a little
more than S.G00.0o0 bales of 500 pounds i'm
1SS2, over l0C00. OGU in 1855. and over H.
eco. 600 in 1890 while the consumption of
Europe ana the United States was S. 80. =
100 Tor the SIX years from 1886 to 1891, and
the estimated consumption of iudia WAS
100000 bales making "a consumption OF
$, ,450, 100 bales. IL Is seen that increasing
consumption prevented a glut until the
crop of lo!0 was sent 10 market.
The Increase of consumption has been
quite rapid, or the price would have fallen
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1892-04-02

long ago The quantity is fully three
times as great as in 1850, and has more
than doubled since the era of scarce COTTON
aud high prices from 1866 to 1870
This increased production was taken by
the mills for time, but it soon began 10
tell in enlargement of stocks on the
market, which increased nearly 500,000 by
January, 1891, reducing the sLiverpool
price Id per pound (2c) in year. But the
receipts from crop of nearly 5000 600
bales during 1891, and also from another
crop also far beyond the requirements OF
consumption, further increased the stocks
by more than 100000 bales by January,
1892, where the price of middlIng upland
was further reduced almost another perny.
or, in Two years, from e 1-l6d to 415d per
pound.
The cotton of the factories of Europe,
America aud India is practically the
cotton of the world 1t is all that need be
considered in the discussion of supply or
prices. Yet there is product and manu-
facture of cotton for home use in China
Japan, and elsewhere, which IS supposed
to amount to about 2, 000, 900 bales. of 500
pounds each, in addition to the Il. .000, 900
bales now grown for the use of general
commerce and factory consumption This
makes the product of cotton of the world,
as far as can be ascertained, about Il, 000,-
600 bales.
THESE facts says the department of
agriculture, ''show clearly what Is the
matter with cotton growing. It is suffer
ing from over production. In the last two
years this country has produced more than
9, COO. 900 bales above the requirements Of
consump ption. IL has reduced prices TO
a point which planters. declare Is below
cost of production.
What is the remedy? It is quite as
easily indicated as the diagnosis or the dl-
sease is accurate. Reduce the area in cul-
Uivation. This is easily said, but it caa
only be done with difficulty. 1t has often
been said before and planters have advised
their neighbors to reduce while they as
quietly proceed to increase. As the de-
crease is not made, the rise does not come
Perhaps the encouragement of the present
may cause a decrease, but that is by no
means Certain"
