4 HISTORY OF FACTS.

Middling cotton sold in the Mem- phis market recently at 7-S cents. This is the lowest point, says the Memphis Seimitar, it has ever touch ed here since 1S44-45. when the bot tom price was cents or less.
 In 1883 the price of middling in New York went down to cents and the highest that year was s cents. In lS44 New York quoted middling all the way from to cents. The av- craze for the three years was less than 7-S cents. The market re- mained at close to that range until 1852, say q period of about ten years Taking into consideration the fact that transportation to New York cost much more then than it does now, it may be stated as fact that the cotton grower in those years could not have averaged more than B. cents for his crops in lS43 A and '45, and only a small fraction more in the succeeding six years.
 This was a time when the much lauded "dollar of the daddies' was in full bloom, silver coinage was free ond every silver coin, big and little, was a full legal tender.
 The high prices of cotton following the war (when there was no silver in by the way) were ac- companied, and to great extent offset by the high prices of the ne- cessaries of life
 The American Grocer, in it's twety- fifth anniversary edition, shows how remarkable these changes have been by the following table:

An Unknown Woman Creates sensa-
 tion at . Meeting.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-One thousand women, all members of leading social circles, gathered Friday afternoon to hear the Rev. Dr. Parkhurst speak on the condition of our city and woman's relation to It."
 Immediately after conclusion of Dr. Parkhurst's speech. a woman, unknown to those who heard her, elbowed her way to the front of the hall and de- nouced Dr. Parkhurst, saying that his tirade against immoralty was consider able of hnmbug She disappeared be- fore anyone could ascertain her identity.
 Dr. Parkhurst after protraying tho ex- isting municipal evils, said: ..Itis your spere. your duty to aid in retarding and extirpating the corruption, vices and tm- morality which are robbing our young men of all their intellectual forces. The police are in league with vice and those who foster and promote vice and crime. You must help whip out forever our present city administration. The work of stopping this is women's sphere. Your power is immense. You can do nothing more effective in the four weeke previous to the election then to actuate this campaign with your womsnlinean. "

the crop thrown in for aggrayation, the farmers found themselves heavily Involved, with a mortgage on the land and credit contracted to the narrowest possible limits.
 Then came the period of retrench- ment and production of food crops at home, which has continued to this day and has now become the rule where it was formerly the rare exception. The Southern farmer has got right down to bedrock. By dint of rigid economy and making every edge cut that could be brought to bare, he has in great measure cleared off his debts and now can truthfuily call himself lord and mas ter of the acres that he formerly held by the grace of his commission mer- chant. He sees very little money in the course of the year, but what property he has is his own. He has found that there is no profit in growing cotton except as a surplus crop, and not much even then. But so long as he owes nobody and has his land under good fence and plenty to eat at home for man and beast he is still better off than any other class in this country, because he possesses solid ground of his own to stand on.
 1t is not to be denied that the far mer who is still in debt has a hard time in settling up with cotton at : and cents, but happily the number of those who arenow deeply involved is small-no larger perhaps in pro- portion to the whole number of far mers than it has been at any time since the production ofcotton began. Some farmers, as well as men of other callings, will always be in debt if they can get credit.
 So that, while the very low price of cotton that now prevail are un- fortunate for all, and entail great hardships in some cases, yet on the whole the cotton country is better than it was in the days of a-hundred- dollar-a-bale and l3 7-S cents q pound for sugar, with a mortgage on every thing mortgageable.
