The Cotton Question.

The last days of the year 1894,
momentons as it has been to the
cotton farmers in bringing a crisis
in the low price of his chief product
would be a most excellent time to
count the cost Of this years crop,
determine the amount lost on it
end realize the absolute folly of
repeating the blunder in 1895.
For the benefit of those who
would like to look before they leap
into what seems to us certain finan-
cial ruin, We will present a few
figures given us by a man who has
not only been and is now an extern
sive cotton farmer but has been
furnishing (advancing) cotton far
mers, large and small for many
years and personally witnessing
their profits aud losses.
The average family does not
cultivate over 20 acres of land.
Put 8 in corn and small crops and
IL acres in cotton. The 8 acres
will not more than feed the team
necessary to cultivate the land and
bread the family, leaving out -four.
The IL acres we'll say makes nine
bales Of cotton, a rather large
crop but we concede that. Well
cotton is now selling on future de-
livery for next October and No
vember at a price which will net
only Al cents at the country ship
ping points. In other words You
can buy all the cotton you want
and have it delivered at that time
paying for it excepting 81 90 per
bale put up. now as a guarantee
that you will take it)when it is de-
livered at ~ cents per pound.
But if you think your Judgment
better than the millions of money
backing these future sales, and
expect cotton to sell for more than
that price, then you can realize the
same profit on future cotton
as on that raised. So b
question is, 10 see how much
we have lost and would lose on
raising cotton at a cents apound.
Nine bales weighing 500 pounds
each, at ~ cents would be s202 80. |
The first item OF expense is the
rent, which is the same whether

STATE SENATOR MONTGOMERY
VIEWS. AN INTELLIGENT VIEW
OF A GREAT QUESTION.

TALLUIAH, La, Nov. 80, 1894.
The low price of agricultural
products, now ranging below the
cost of production, the stagnation
of trade, the lack of employment
at remunerative figures for labor,
and the almost entire cessation of
new enterprises are admitted facts.
1t is a matter of profound aston
ishment that during nearly thirty
years of peace, and unparalleled de-
velopment from the mines, fields
and factories, we should be con-
fronted with this deplorable con-
dition. Why is it that so many of
the people of the United States,
in a period of peace with all the
world, and in a country abound
ing in the staple products and ne
cessaries of life, are in wantl Why
is it that millions of producers are
in despair, realizing that the pro-
ducts of labor no longer yield a
livingl The tariff agitator answers,
that it is the tariff! But when we
find the same low range of prices
in countries with high tariff, and
no tariff at all, we cannot ascribe
the cause to this. The two peri
dds above all others that have
marked the greatest average pros
perity for this country have had
entirely different policies on the
tariff question. The first period
was during the low tariff, from
1850 to 1860, inaugurated by Rob-
ert j. Walker. The increase of
wealth and prosperity during that
time was marvellous.
The other period of rapid growth
and prosperity for all classes was
under the very high war tariff
from 1865 TO 1873. Evidently it
was not the tariff in either case;
for, under different policies. we
find the periods of greatest activi-
ty and prosperity known in our
history. Whilst the tariff primer
Piles that prevailed were different,
the plentifulness of money in both
periods indicates the main cause of |
this wonderful prosperity. The
discovery of the rich gold mines of |
California and Australia gave an |
addition to the worlds supply of
which, coupled with an
abundant issue of State bank notes,
gave impetus to trade, and impart-
,dnew life to every productive in
1ustry from 1850 to 1861. The
Increase of the national stock of
money during the war, and the Is
'ue Of bonds, used as money TO
he extent of about two and threo-
quarter billions, gave life and pro-
,rcss to every enterprise, and ena-
lied the high tariff advocates to
resent q plausible statement of
shat their theory would accomplish.
1t the close Of the war about two
iundred millions of our national
'oads Were sold annually in Eu-
ope, and by 1873 it is estimated
aat at least eighteen hundred mil

On last Monday the Hon. II. l..
Brian and family took their leave
for the city of Nat ,hitoches whero
they will in future reside.
1t was necessary for Mr.. Brian to
locate with his family in Natchito-
ches in order that Re might be able
to give more OF his time to push
ing the rapidly rising circulation
of the LOUISIANA POPULST.
Mr.. Brian, as all know, was one
of the pioneer reformers of this,
the banner parish in the State.
Something like eight years of his
life has been almost exclusively
given to the agitation of the burn
inc issues now before the people.
He was among the first to realize
that no permanent relief to the
masses could come through either
of the old parties.
The success of the movement in
the last congressional contest was
largely due to his untiring efforts,
especially in Natchitoches parish.
During the closing months of
the campaign, Mr.. Brian worked
unceasingly-almost night and day.
He did this work that seemingly
no one else could do, at a great
cost to his personal business.
Old VIM gives up the pioneer
champion rather reluctantly, but
perhaps the good of this great
cause demands it. At any rate,
Mr.. Brian has located in q field
possessing many advantages over
this, and the noble work in which
he is engaged can be espoused by
no more generous heart.
Mr.. Brian deserves great credit
for the vast amount of good he
has been instrumental in accom-
plishing.
Three cheers for the PoPULIsT
and its energetic, big hearted edi-
tor.-''The Comrade."
Such commentator from the
organ of the people we have serv-
ed, penned by its brilliant young
editor who has been one of our
able co-workers in every campaign
we have waged, is encouraging in
deed, and next to the answer of a
clear conscience from a sense of
duty we'll done, is one of our
sweetest and lasting rewards for
sacrifices made.
Thanks, Bro. Bailey; your kind
words are ''like apples of gold in
pictures of silver" and they ''heal
the heart of wounds that thought
less words have made"
Old VIM has furnished this and
other States some able men, and
while she parts with them reluc-
family, she has yet in her borders
men who, when they shall have
reached the zenith of their power
for good, will outstrip those who
have preceded them.
Wherever we may go, and by
whatever conditions surrounded,
we shall never forget the simple
kindness, the chivalry, the indie
pendence of the good people of
Winn, among whom we lived for
ten years and from whom we took
our companion in life, where our
children were born and where ono
lies beneath the sod. When fond
memory turns her pages recorded
in Winn, they will be often blotted
with tears-tears of silent Joy as
well as Of sorrow.
We owe much of what success
we have made of life to VIM and
her people, and one of our fondest
hopes will be realized only in her
elevation and the permanent sue
noac of hor r,oo,>la

nomination and made the race for
congress against the nominee. the
Doodle, and the machine Democra
cy of this district, almost entirely
without money.
In the face of fearful odds we
made the fight of our life against
the corruption, the bribery, the
thlevlng methods Of the Democrat
ic party and for the recognition of
the inherent rights of the toiling
and producing masses.
We made this fight in the face
of defeat-because we knew that
we could not secure fair count.
We made the fight for home and
humanity.
We made the fight for liberty
and justice, and in doing SO we
placed upon the altar of the glo-
rious principles we were defending
our future prospects, sacrificing at
the same time our personal bust
ness. But we were willing to do
this for the sake of tho cause and
the success of the movement.
But in the face of the fearful
odds with which we had TO contend,
as we have shown repeatedly by
tables in the columns of this paper,
had we been given fair count, in
stead of Mr.. Ogden having been
commissioned, the commission
would have been issued to ourself,
because we duly won it in the con-
test of ballots.
This is the peoples fight and not
ours.
We made the race against organ
lied Democracy for the cause of
the people and not from our sell
fshneSs.
We made the fight against the
syndicates and corporations, and
for the re-establishment of justice
and equity.
We fairly won, but was cheated,
swindled, defrauded out of the po-
sition, a majority of the people
who actually voted in the election,
of their own free will, and as their
conscience dictated, said we should
have.
In order to purge the ballot box
es of the fraudulent and illegal
votes, and if possible to rid the
country of the agency that has
honey-comed the institutions of
our commonwealth with corrup-
ton of the most degenerate char
acter, and to protect the voter in
his right of suffrage, we have un-
dertaken to contest the seat of Mr..
Ogden to the 54th, Congress.
To successfully do this will re-
quire the expenditure of some $3.50
ut this end of the line.
Of course the government pays
the expenses of contests of this
character. but not until the case is
finally disposed of.
As we have stated, this is fight
of the people, and it must be by
their cooperation and unity of &C
ton that they are to succeed.
We are powerless within our
selves.
We appeal to the generous pat
riotism of the sturdy yeomanry of
this district, and of the State, who
are tired of this age of teudal bar
bal ism to come to our assistance
and help US to route and drive
from our borders this hydra-head-
ed monster of fraudulent elections.
There is no time to be lost. If
you act, you must do it now. The
time is short, and growing shorter.
A strict account will be kept of
all monies received and disbursed.

lions of our national securities
were held abroad.
The money and valuable ex-
changes that were sent to the Unit
ed States for these bonds caused
bound in material development
that was indeed phenomenal. The
end of all this came in 1873, when
the United States Government, to
provide an argument for the con-
tinuance of the war tariff, began
the insane policy of too rapidly
extinguishing the war debt. The
consequence was constant return
of national bonds and the eXhaus-
ton of the money supply that was
upholding the progress of the
country. About the same time
the crime was committed of de-
monetizing silver, with the result
Of legislating undue wealth to the
fortunate holder of gold credits,
and inficting proportionate lnju-
ry to the debtor class, and also to
the promoters Of industrial and
productive enterprises. 1t is hard
ly necessary to say that, with the
retirement of nearly two billions
of bonds used as money, and the
destruction of millions of green
back dollars by Secretary McCul-
loch, all done in a short period, we
should have hard times, and as
rapid decline in all products of
skilled and unskilled labor. This
era of contraction of paper money,
commencing in 1873, ended in 1879,
and gave to history another proof
for the political economist, that an
expansion gives better times and
higher prices, contraction works
lower prices, and, consequently,
harder times for the masses of the
people. The volume of money in
circulation, combined with the sup
ply and demand, fixes prices.
From 1879 to 1892 there was an
era of ordinary activity and quiet
reigning in the financial world so
that by close economy the efforts
Of man realized small profits.
Then came the great financial cy-
clone, predicted bi-metallists twen-
ty years ago, which has almost an
initiated values, and is now de-
vouring the homes that years of
toll and economy have built, as
retreat from want and refuge in
old age.
. crisis in BUSINESS is not a new
thing. As matter of fact, they
have occurred about every twenty
years in this country, and forced
by readiustmont of business on
account of over-traiding, and the
altered value of securities.
Prior to 1873 the value of secu-
rites WAS based upon both gold
and silver and rcferable to either
fOr final redemption. With both
these metals at the service of the
world, as legal measure of value,
the recovery from panics has often
extended through many years.
What then must be the hope for
improvement and better times
when the adjustment of business is
upon q gold basis alone! This cri-
sis had its commencement by the
failure of the Barings, in conse-
quence of inability to collect gold
interest upon their South Ameri-
can investment. A lack of conf
dence Immediately followed in re-
gard to other securities, and rap
idly spread throughout the gold
standard countries of Europe and
America, until the panic of 1898
became a national question, mas
much as the legislation enacted
has utterly failed in its purposes.
The predictions then made for
better times, have all been falsifi-
Ell.

FROM THE EXPERIMENT STATIONS.
In an experiment continued through
three seasons at the Utah station COM
parison is made of deep and shallow
tillage and no tillage for potatoes. The
average of duplicate plats for three
years gives the yield of large and small
potatoes on shallow titled plats as
206.3S bushels per acre; on the deeper
titled plats, sO5.S7 bushels, and on the
untitled plats, 1867 bushels.
j. w. Sanborn, director of the Utah
station reports that two years expert
ments in sowing oats at different dates
showed a marked advantage in early
sowing.
w. H. Caldwell, of the Pennsylvania
station, recommends as of most promise
the following potatoes: Freeman, Green
Mountain, Burpee Superior, Ben Harri-
son and Monroe County Seeding.
L.. K. Jones, of the Vermont station,
advises the hot water method of treat
ing oats seed, not only for the immediate
benefit, but for the eradication Of smut
