SOUTHERN GLEANlNGa
Proposes a Trust.

John T. Roddey. a member of the firm of John T. Roddey X Co.,, brokers, New York, in a letter to the Columbia (S. C.) State, proposes to the farmers of the south the formation of gigantic trust to control the price of cotton. He claims that the low price of cot ton is due to the combinations against the farmer and the lack of combination among them. He sug- gests a capital stock of from $50, ,o00,- o00 to S10O, 900, 600, and points out the fact that if cotton can be raised in price from five cents to sixteen cents a pound on an 5000, ,000-bale crop, morx than the capital stock of the trust would be saved the farmers in one year. The shares are to be low enough in value to allow every farmer to take one or more. He suggests a meeting of represents tives of the alliance and other farmers associations to be held at an carly date ils New York or some southern city. He urges immediate setion.

II, instead of wheat and cotton we take land or lumber horses or cattle, sugar or wool, or almost any of our great products the showing fn favor of silver is substantially the same It is only repeating the same idea in another form 10 say that there has not been time within forty years when Mexican merchant could come to the United States with given amount of his dishoncred silver money and buy such a large quantity anu variety of our products as he can today. If this is true then VIC say that silver has not Appreciated; on the other hand we assert it to be true that with given am punt of gold, coined or uncoined, this same Mexican merchant can come into our markets today and buy twice as much as he could have done with the same amount of gold twenty years aro This is true of land and labor as we'll as of all our products. If so. then gold has doubled in value. Our debts, national. state county and municipal as we'll as our other debts were all contracted and made payable in money but not in gold coin. The act of 1873 required them to De paid in gold. This change to gold coin with sut consulting the debtors was nothing less than highway robbery. By shifting to the gold standard and then legislating so as to raise the vfArr of gold, the liabiliaties of every debt. Or have oeen doubled. As we arc now on gold standard. and gold has doubled in value the effect has been to double the fees and sala " of every public official; not only so, but with out any change in assessed values. or the rate of taxation, this rise in gold has doubled our taxes. It takes two pounds of cotton now to pay tax which one pound would have paid twenty years ago
 Our national debt at the close of the war was more than S2 900. 0Oo 900. We have paid the in terest for thirty years, have paid more than half tho principal and yet, owing to the rise in the value of gold in which it is payable, the bal ance due on this debt is now nearly as much, ifnot more than the original debt; that is to say. it would take much of our products at their present market value to pay the balance Eow due as it would have taken twenty five years ago to have paid the whole debt While the civil war entailed upon the United States an enormous public debt it left the north in c a state of prosperity. Tho characterization o silver however. has been as destructive tC property values as the civil war, and has Jeff both north and south prostrate ahke.
 England could not subjugate our forefathers hundred years ago. but what she failed to ac complish in arms in i776 she accomplished by craft in 1873 We are now the tributaries o England and other creditor nations.
