Cotton Crop Outlook.

The weekly crop reports published
by the Galveston weather bureau,
while they tell of occasional showers
throughout the state, fail to report
rain that can be of any benefit to the
cotton crop. A few localities that
have had good rains,' have also had
a visitation of worms that will fully
discount the good effect of the rainfall.
Altogether the prospect is for a yield
far short of last season. 1t is therefore
disgusting to find reports claiming to
be truthful and disinterested setting
forth a condition of things the reverse
Of true. The following report just is
sued by a Nashville firm Cotton buy.
ers and commission merchants may be
truthful where it refers to the cotton
crop in other states, but certainly not
in Texas:
"The compilation of the reports sent
to us show that there is an Increase iu
the acreage of 10 to Is per cent
throughout. The condition of the
plant is, on the average, much above
last year. While the plant is smaller
than last year, it is vigorous and
healthy in appearance and is heavily
fruited, thus Indicating heavy yield
if no disaster happens to it hereafter.
The promise now is for a large yield,
and if the promise of the crop as now
Indicated is fulfilled 1t will be 10
per cent above last years crop in the
total.
There had been too much rain in
some localities at the date of the re.
ports, and not sufficient in others, but
opportune weather conditions appear
to have given each section just what it
needed since then, which has given
planters seasonable weather to get
their crops cleaned and laid by in
good condition. The month of August
aud we'll into September, will prove a
critical time for the crop, and much
depends upon the conditions ex-
perienced during that period, but
there is no reason at present to expect
nnpropitious influences from now on.
With late fall fairly large crop is
assured. AS regards other states the
reports are very favorable.
. Al SOho GASES Uuey are eACelleDU. anu
in maj y the conditions are considered
brilliant. They are described by some
as not excelled at any time previous.
Recent rains have improved the pros
poets in South Carolina. In Texas
seasonable rains have removed all
anxiety as to the crop there. The
drouth reported was feared as much in
as anything else, and the
rains came in season to prevent serious
damage to cotton.
The situation may be summarized
on the whole as being encouraging for
an average yield compared with form.
er years, very much in excess of last
year, and no disaster occurring here
after to lower the present condition
or disturb the present promise, a crop
of seven and three-quarter millions,
or above, may be expected.

THE HOUSE DID WELL.

The house yesterday did its par
towards carrying out President Cleve
lands recommendation of uDcondi
tional repeal of the Sherman law. Al
expected, the vote on the ratio was
strongest for IL to l. After that the
majority against further coinage
under present conditions was much
increased. An analysis OF the vote
on Is to l will prove instructive, The
ayes were 124, composed of 100 Demo
Gratis, Is Republicans and 8 Populsts.
The nays were 226, composed
of 116 Democrats and ITO Republi-
cans. 1t will be seen on this
ballot Clsveland's majority among
the democrats was 16. And from
what states did the votes of silver
Democrats come? With IA exceptions
from southern states, Missouri and
the silver selling states. There were
only five from Indiana, two from
Michigan, and one each from three of
he richest states in the Union, New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Now
figures show that considerably over
half of the votes that elected Cleve-
land came from the great tier
of states running from the west line
of Illinois eastward and those states
with the few exceptions noted, voted
solidlyfor Cleveland's policy. They are
the states where live thegreat bulk of
those laboring men for whom Con-
gresham Bryan made his eloquent
free silver speech. Now'it is claimed
the southern Democratic representa-
tives are voicing the wishes of their
constituents In voting against Cleve
land. Then must not the same credit
be given these northern Democrats for
their votes? 1t has been charged by
the unthinking that they represent
only Wall street and the banks-but
neither of these two vote, and it Is the
yeomanry of those states that those
Democrats represent and the greatest
bulk of the population of the Union.
Their views should have infinite
weight az they are more than half of
the Democratic party.
The subsequent votes on ratios of II,
IS, 10, and 20 to /, created little inter-
est, the free coinage people having
become disheartened at the result of
the fret vote, and the Wilson repeal
bill was finally passed by vote of
24O to no. This pronounced majority
should, and doubtless will, influence
the senate to join the house In giving
the country laws that will insure a
sound monetary system.

Don't.

The following hints to horsemen
may not bu without benefit to some
who handle young stock:
Don't let your colt run unhoused all
winter to an old straw stack to tougher
him.
Don't hitch him at first to load
which the other horses can not pull
when he holds back or hold back
when he pulls.
Don't forget.when breeding that the
law of reproduction, as laid down in
the first chapter of Genesis, has not
oeen abrogated.
Don't pasture your colts, if you can
help it, in a field where fence is Just
about high enough to teach them to
jump nicely.
Don't forget when dealing with
them that a little temper is a good
thing, so good that you ought never
to lose it.
Don hit your horse with the bride
when you turn him loose in the field
Don't place your main reliance on
dogs and stones when driving them to
or from pasture.
Don't neglect to occasionally take an
ear of corn along when going through
the pasture, whether you wish to catch
horse or not.
Don't yell; it will make you red in
the face.

STATISTICS FOR THE FREE SILL YER
MEN.

The pet cry of the free silver orator
is, silver in 1873 was worth 81 30 an
ounce and now 1t is only worth IA.
Mr.. Faulk rang the changes ad nau-
seam on this at Tuesday nights meet
ing, but when called down to explain
why it was worth $1.29 then and only
IA now he flew the track and could
only cry demonstration by act of
1873, and then he was guilty of this
astounding statement that the pro-
duction of gold had so increased that
while the ratio of silver to gold was
as J6 to in 1873, that now
it was Ii to l. Shades of some
gifted statesman defend us from such
reckless and would be leaders.
But what are the actual statistics?
The following are accurate and should
make you put your thinking cap on.

The Gear as a Horse Trader.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 29.-Three
horses from the Palo Alto stock farm
were sent East in a special car last
night. Aside from their being some
of the best bred trotters belonging to
the Sanford estate, especial interest is
excited from their departure because
of the fact that they are going to
Russia. At Chicago they will be
transferred to a representative of the
keeper of the cars stud, who will in
exchange bestow on Palo Alto farm
four trotters of the famous Orloff breed
of Russia.

The following instructions in the art
OF budding, by E. w. Kirkpatrick
and published in the last issue OF
Texas Farm and Ranch, will be found
clear and reliable
Choose a time when the sap flows
freely. Choose well developed buds and
cut the Leaf stem about one fourth
inch from the bud. For the best re.
suits the diameter of the stock to be
budded should be twice the diameter
of the bud stick or scion. Choose a
smooth place on the stock, near the
surface of the earth, and cut the bark
one.third around the stock, hold the
knife blade at about 45 degrees Then
split the bark downward from the
cross cut about five-eights of an inch,
and while the blade is thus inserted
move it right and left, so as to break
the bark 10 Sc from the stock,
thus leaving an opening in which
start the bub. Then holding the bud
stick with top end pointing toward
you. place the knife oue-fourth an
inch above the bud and cut the bark
half way around the stick. Then in
sert the knife one-fourth inch below

the bud and III near to the center OF
the stick. Then remove the bud by
pressing it with the thumbnail aud

SOME MORE TATISTICS FOR TIE
FREE SILVER MEN.

Yesterday morning The STATES.
MAN pointed out to the free silver men
the folly of thinking of continuing the
coinage OF silver at ratio of 16 to /,
by giving comparative statement of
the total amount of gold and silver in
circulation In the United States in
1892, and also by giving a comparison
between the two metals in their pro-
duction in the whole world and in the
United States. The folly of the idea
of the free silverites can be further IL
Illustrated by printing these further
statements taken from the most au-
thoritive statistics.
First - AS to the gold and
silver in the United States treasury.
June 20, 1S7S-Gold coin and bullion. $128 400 2O3
June 30, 1S78-Silver coin and bullion 21,920, 1886
A difference of 6 to l in favor of
gold.
Jan. /, 1S92-Gold coin and bullion s27s SAG, $50
Jan. l, 1S92-Silver coin and bullion. 4l6976, $40
Or q difference of IL in favor of
silver.
Now as Uncle Sam is responsible for
all of this money and much more
that is in actual circulation, don't you
think while silver is being piled up in
the treasury at this awful rate that
if he does not stop it, at least he
should forsake the 16 to l ratio, the
free silver bugs demand?
Second-AS to the total supply of
gold and silver inthe United States:
June 30, lS7S-Gold coin and bullion S213, 199, 977
June 30. lS7S-Silver coin and bullion SS047, 907
Or 2 IL times as much gold as
silver.
Jan. /, 1s92-Gold coin and bullion $685. Si5 $50
Jan. ], 1Sg2-Silver coin and bullion 542 079,36
That is, while the amount of gold
in 10 1.2 years has increased little
ever three times, silver has increased
over six times. But the latest report
from the director of the United States
mint makes even worse showing.
He states that the total amount of
coined gold and silver in the United
States was Dec. 81, 1892:
In gold 1901 GEO. 900
In Silver .................... 6l5,OOOOeO
So silver topped gold finally.
But this rapid increase of the
amount of silver in circulation is not
the most alarming feature Of
the present conditions, bad as it
is. Here is u table that
will throw flood of light on the pre-
sent financial situation and goes to-
wards showing why deprecated
silver currency is making all this
rouble in the country. There was
coined in the United States as follows:
l79S-ls77 in gold Observation-Disclosures. SlO1O 900, 1874
lS7S-lo9l in gold ..',..,........,... $780, ,596
Total 1861, % 92O

Total of all silver ......... ...... $751; los, 9S
Total of all gold .............. 81, ,22l 800
And this was to Dec. 81, 1891.
Since that time great deal of silver
has been coined, but we will not
make the argument any worse against
the free silverites, but throw that to
them as a sop. But the point is this:
This government has coined 81, $751;

Cost Of Producing Cotton

Att recent annual meeting of the
Texas State Grange a resolution was
passed condemui' G the publication of
experiments when they show that
cotton can be produced at less than
&c per pound. This is the essence
of blamed" foolishness. What these
grapgers expect to gain by the sup.
preston of information bearing on the
production of farm crops is what mo
fellow can understand" If they could
by resoluting fix price below which
cotton shall not be sold aud devise
some effective plan for enforcing
their resolution they would be
doing some good, but whether
the facts be published that jeff We'll
born can raise cotton at 2 3 cents per
pound, while Jerry Hayseed can't pro
dure it for less thau s 1-2 cents, will
make no difference in the market
value of the product The spublica
ton of the figures OF differentI expert
menters will neither "bear" nor "bull''
the market. but merely show what
can he done on small scale under the
most favorable conditions. Jeff We'll
born, W. A. Clark and a few Others
found they could produce a pound of
cotton on a small area of ground at
figures ranging from 2 1-2 to 1859 cents,
while the Texas experiment station
could not get the same quantity
off the ground for less than . AZ
cents, what can oe done on one
specially favored acre is no criterion
of the cost on large fields composed of
varying characters of soil, calling for,
but not receiving, special treatment.
The average black land farmer cannot
in an average year, produce cotton for
less than IA cents. and it is within
the mark to say that the present
seasons crop will cost S1.9 cents per
pound to produce.
The action of the Grange can only
have the effect of causing outsiders TO
conclude that farmers have secrets
about crops that they wish to hide
from an appreciative world.
