tt has always been q very serious question
rs to what was the proper method TO he
adopted for the reduction Of the area planted
in cotton when that staple has been forced
down to prices that leave a very narrow Ii
any margin Of profit The low price of cot
ten is the result Of oyerproducuon, and the
only remedy for it is a radical curtailment Of
the mount Of the crop.
Hitherto it has been found to he impossible
TO persuade the planters TO act IN concert with
a view to this reduction. Such concert, even
if the disposition of the planters was fayora-
bic to it, is probably quite impracticable' even
over a small extent Of country, and it il per-
haps only tie hard lessons taught by several
years OF low prices that will cause the cotton
planter to contract the area he las under Gull
tivaton. In the meanwhile, howey-r pro-
loneation of oyerproduction leads TO Uuiver-
sal depression IN nearly every line OF business
in the cotton States because nearly every line
Of business is dependent upon the returns
from the cotton crop for prosperity.
There has never been year when the con-
sequences Of the overproduction of cotton
year which has lust opened. Naturally
enough the question of how the crop 10 be
produced in 1892 is TO be shortened is receiv-
ing already very careful attention. There
have been many suggestions thrown. out. but
in some respects the plan proposed by
prominent banker Of Augusta appears to DO
the most practical.
IN an interview with a representative Of the
Augusta Chronicle this banker declared that
the cotton factors and banks are as much to
blame for the overproluction Of cotton "a
the farmers. The planter incurs at tie out
set too great a debt in pitching bus crop
and he is too often encouraged t. under
take an outlay which most probably Will
prove unremunerative simply because the
factors stand ready to make cash advances
to him based upon his crop of cotton and not
upon any other crops. The result Of such
q policy is that tie money of the factors
and the banks IS locked up IN advances % the
farmers and that the whole business and COM
mercial public feel the stringency Of the
money market because the farmers the fac
tors and the banks have put all their EGGS in
one basket. IL is useless 10 attempt 10 lessen
the production of cotton by resolutions u
planters alliances OF cotton exchanges The
thing for each factor q 30 is ID de-
termine for himself that he VIII not
advance for the year 1872 to any
planter more than one-Aaf what he dil
ia lsN That at once compo.s the planter %
use his labor and males for Other crops or tor
other purposes. That will turn loose one-Aalt
the money that would have been tied ~ IN
advances 90 planters and make it available t.
other industries and enterprises. In short
instead of the cotton exchanges trying to
remedy the present system of false farming
they should apply themselves to correcting
the false system of cotton factorage. and IN
that way the product OF cotton Will be les
sened and profitable enterprises DO fosiered
and multiplied"

AID TO RUSSIA.

The off. OF 40 900 pounds Of -four for tho
Administration people of Russia by me
wealthy millers Of Minneapolis Is certainly ~
act Of charity and generosity WHICH CANNOT
be too highly commended. Inc donors say
that their contribution shall not close Win
less than 500 OO1 pounds OF upwards OF 25.OJO
barrels. and il is to be hoped that their goou
intentions will be carried out.
There IS one thing. however, in connection
with this liberal gift which Is absolutely 40
surd. Secretary Tracy. in his letter replying
TO the request of these Northwestern mill
ers for a ship in which to transport Their
-four. agrees 10 give it on the ground 'oi the
friendly relations existing between tho United
States and Russia" and because Russia
exhibited courageous and outspoken sympa-
thy for this country in critical moments. %
Now, no doubt the Gar. who IS Russia
with his peculiar IDEAS, did sympathize with
tho Federals during the war between the
States. because it was not 10 be expected that
O government notorious throughout the world
for Its tyranny should feel well disposed to-
wards any people struggling for their nights
liberties and independence; but that Russia
feels any real friendliness 10 the United states
does not stand 10 reason There is nothing IN
common between the free government oil TINS
republic and the autocratic rule OF the
Cars domains, and it is well known that
Russia never has any sentimental friendship
for any nation. If it has kind feelings TO-
wards US it is only because We are so far re-
moved from her that it will always, IN all like
lhood. be impossible Tor her to make any
thing out of Us By hostility.
But while Secretary Tracy's idea is simply
absurd. the impulses Of tho Michigan millers
are most laudable As q contemporary well
saws their action . 2 response TO the cry OF
suffering humanity. aud the answer would
have been the same had the appeal come
from Spain OF India. or any other coun-
try The poor Russian peasantry are en-

Of tho dreadful famine that has

pressed and despoiled by the most despotc
and corrupt government on earth. in tbs

example of the Northwestern millers should

section of the American public who believe
in a spirited that is. an aggressive foreign
policy. As Secretary of State under Har-
rison he is openly proclaimed as the friend
of peace and the statement is probably cor
rect. Mr. Blaine is undoubtedly very much
interested in the success Of reciprocity IN our

can republics, and he IS ohrewd enough 10
see that war between the United States
and the leading Government Of the Southern
