The Cotton Growers Association
met IN Memphis last week. Gov
errors Eagle (Arkansas) and Blu
chanan (Tennessee) Commissioners
of Agriculture from a half dozen
different states, and hundreds Of
prominent farmers from the country
tributary to the mississippi Valley
were in attendance. The object OF
the meeting was to discuss the
present condition of the farmers in
the South, and, if possible, devise
some means to better same. Speech
es were delivered, papers read and
resolutions adopted, all of which
went to show that under the pres
ent system our lands are rapid y de-
preciating in value, and our farmers
year by year becoming more impov-
erished.
The combined wisdom of the
Association recommended (after
careful consideration and practical
experience) as panacea tor exist
ing evils, that the acreage in cotton
during the year 1892 be twenty per
cent. less than that of 1891; and
that those interested in agricultu-
raj pursuits raise more hay, clover,
grasses, corn, wheat and stock.
A noticeable and commendable
feature of the meeting was that no
politics were invOlved-no schem-
ing Office seekers participated-it
was simply an assemblage of honest
and honorable men, all with the
same end in view-the mutual benz
eft of their fellow man.
The South deserves to be. and can
be, one of the most prosperous sec
tons on earth, if we will only en-
brace our opportunities. Our ell
mate is unsurpassed and our soil
adapted 10 the raising of almost
anything that grows.
For years our farmers have been
under the impression that unless
they cultivated cotton largely in
excess of other crops, it would be
impossible for them to obtain credit.
Well, last year you planted your
lands in cotton, raised an average
crop, but still many were unable to
pay their merchants. Year before
last, perhaps, it was the same way.
Now, We appeal to the judgment
OF every honest man-will a safe,
economical business man continue
to encourage the raising of any par
ticular crop when he knows that
year by year this same crop is grad
ually contributing to his bankrupt
cy, downfall and ruin? No; the
merchant is anxious to see the
acreage of cotton reduced as much
so as the farmer.
If The recommendations of the
Cotton Growers Association are
adheared to, we firmly believe that
times next year will be better, and
many who are now indebted to mer-
chants will be enabled TO partially
If not entirely liquidate said in
debtedness.
You have tried the raising of cot
ton faithfully and found it injuri-
Gus, now why not try the system
recommended by the above men,
toned Association?

Proposed Silver Plank-Protest Against
Democratic Tariff Action.

Proposed Silver Plank-Protest Against
Democratic Tariff Action.
MINNEApoLIs, MIMI, June 8.-The
silver men have been very aggressive
from the very beginning OF the gather
ing and have given the Committee on
Resolutions o great deal OF trouble.
The New York aud New England
members of the committee proved
too strong for anything hike a
flat-footed declaration for unlimited
coinage or any similarly radical plank.
The upshot was an agreement that the
second plank should deal with the sill
YER question. The compromise as to
language was that the declara-
ton should he substantially as follows
The American people are by tradition
and interest in favor of bimetallic
coinage of silver, but one dollar should
be as good as another dollar. Silver
should be coined at q ratio to be fixed
by LEGISLATION, and the forthcoming In
ternational conference is endorsed as
probably furnishing q satisfactory solu-
ton of this vexed question OF financial
relation.
AS concession to silver-men. who
also represent wool-growing States, the
committee agreed to the insertion in the
tariff plank of an emphatic protest
against the action Of the Democratic
party in singing ont lead and wool as
articles to be placed on the free list
A free coinage resolution. pure and
simple was voted down in the sub-com-
mittee on this branch Of the Platform
by a vote of 8 to 2. Then the plank
above given was formulated. 1t is still
subject to revision.
