Five-cent Cotton

We do not wholly agree with the views
Of d. A. Thompkins of Charlotte. N. c.
quoted from the Manufacturers Record
and published in our dispatches yester-
day, that the south must prepare herself
10 raise cotton at 5 cents a pound. We
agree with him that great changes are
taking place In the production of cotton
that the large plantations are being
broken up into small farms. that the
small farmer is producing his own food
crops, and hence cotton is raised at less
cost than on the big plantations that
are wholly given up to cotton, and that
as the changes indicated go on the cost
Of production will decrease. but we are
not prepared to believe that cotton will
not go above cents a pound again.
There is a general agreement that the
reason for the low price of cotton this
year is that more cotton has been pro
duced than the world needs. If the cot
ton farmers will cut down their cotton
acreage one fourth. and give more at
tention to food crops they will bring about
a condition of affairs that viii make
NHNHi WY prosperous Iney VIII see cot
ton advance to Z or 8, or even 10 cents
a pound, and they will not have to spend
all they get from their cotton for sup
plies for their households and their stock.
Mr.. Tompkins, who is said to have given
this matter great deal of study. ex-
presses the opinion that although many
VIII suffer while the change in the method
Of producing cotton is going on. the time
will soon come when cotton at cents a
pound will be the most profitable agricul-
tural crop in the world. We are not pre-
pared to contradict this statement. 1t is
probably true. The only point on which
we take issue with Mr.. Thompkins is the
one we have pointed out, namely. that
1t is by no means certain that the price of
cotton will remain as low as cents a
pound. 1t will rise much above that price
If the cotton farmers act wisely and re-
duce production, and win fall below it if
they insist upon producing a great deal
more than is wanted

The Pooling Bill.

The House has 50 amended its rules as
70 allow an early consideration OF the
bin permitting railroads 10 pool their
earnings under certain conditions. The
bill is in the shape Of an amendment 10
the interstate commerce law. and has the
approval OF the interstate commerce COM
mission
This would seem TO indicate a purpose
70 pass the bill al this session
Those who are acquainted with the
difficulties in the way Of operating rail-
roads under the interstate commerce law
regard the bill as a good one. The effect
OF the Law as t is at present is to force
the railroads to make combinations. A
prominent southern railroad man said
the other day. that If the pooling bill
should not become law all the railroads
in the south would be included in two or
three systems within ten years.
The trainers OF the interstate com
merce act made a mistake in not insert
ing in il a provision allowing pooling.
At that time. however. II was not gen
orally understood what the effect Of the
act would be. It was thought that II
pooling was permitted the railroads would
combine TO put up traffic rates, and there
was very general demand that there
should be no legislation that would les
sen competition. The most intelligent
shippers now understand that what they
want, and what is necessary to the sue
cess OF all kinds Of business that depends
largely upon the railroads. is not cut
rates. but stable rates. Railroad commits
sions can prevent railroads from charging
unreasonable rates, and il the pooling bill
should become a law it would open the
way for stable rates
In England the freight rates on rail-
roads are much higher than in this coun-
try, but there is no complaint, because
the rates are stable. The basis upon which
business can be done, so far as the rail-
roads are concerned, is so steady and GER
tain that one shipper has no advantage
over another. In this country shippers are
often forced out Of business or ruined by
rebates or cut rates given to rivals, and
an honestly operated railroad finds its
business falling OF because of the under
bidding of a rival road. 1t is apparent that
II one shipper is given a secret advantage
over another the one favored is likely 10 be
prosperous, while the other is driven out
Of business.
While railroads look out for their own
interests and get all they can it is pretty
safe TO say that they are not as response
BILE for many Of the hardships growing
out Of traffic rates of which the people
complain as are legislators who enact
laws affecting great railroad interests
without being sufficiently Informed Of the
effect such laws will have.

No water but champagne.

To frighten gentle sleep.
My neighbors' hens can never
Defy the garden wall,
Because there are no nefghbors
Or hen coops there at all.
So in the garden nodding
In rich profusion grow
Tobacco trees and cauliflowers.
And roses all arrow.
o! could I reach my castle.
I'd never need to think
I'd never need to scribble,
And clothe my dreams in ink.
So, when I'm not so busy,
I'll hire a big balloon,
And sail away With know whom
Beyond the yellow moon.

One of the most important bills yet in
troduced in the House at Washington is
that by Mr.. Mccall of Massachusetts. pro-
viding for commission to promote the
uniformity of laws and to prepare codes
of procedure in the federal courts. To
point out the need for the uniformity Of
laws, it is necessary only to call attention
to the wide diversity of the bankruptcy
incorporation and divorce laws of the sew
eral states. Mr.. McCalrs bill contem-
plates commission of three, to be ap-
pointed by the President, ito prepare codes
of the substantive law upon subjects Of
commercial and mercantile law, and es-
pecially the law upon sales and sellers
liens, stoppage in transit, the making and
execution of deeds and the law Of domes-
tic relations, including marriage and di-
vorce, and upon such other topics as NAV
seem desirable in the direction of uni
formity"

The West Likes 1t.
From the St. Louis Republic Silver DEM.

Mr. Cleveland proposed that all state
banks which comply with the regulations
shall be freed from federal taxation eX-
cept small annual tax for a safety fund.
He proposes also to make all banks of
issue responsible for the failure of any
one BANK to redeem its notes. These pre-
cautions seem amply sufficient to insure
the safety of the resulting circulation.
The circulation would certainly be more
elastic and beyond comparison more eco
nomical than our present currency. No
question of the money standard is in
volved in the plan. The unit of of value
at present is the gold dollar, and the gold
dollar viii be the unit until altered
by legislation. That legislation could
be enacted as readily under a sys-
TEN of bank currency as under one of
national treasury notes.
