firm, therefore, our forecast as to what the
cotton planters might be expected to do.
Men who base their hopes of high prices
for cotton upon the theory that thousands
and tens of thousands and hundreds of
thousands of cotton-planters may be in
duced to do voluntarily what even a State
law would not induce them to do.may ex-
pect always to be disappointed. UnQues-
tionably, if the cotton-planters could
carry ont the scheme recommended by
local conventions and theorzers they
would derive immense benefit from il.
IL they would ell unite upon the single
scheme of raising first all the other aeri-
cultural products which they annually
need. and then raise in addition as much

say, they would find their condition i'm
