a Suggestion to thc Cotton Growers
Convention.

Editor ConSttution-Iour editorial OF q
few days ago offers the true solution Of
the cotton problem, namely, that all our
cotton crop be manufactured here instead Of
permitting England to do It. and exporting
only manufactured cotton goods. BY treaties
that ought TO have been abolished long ago
Japan has been forced by England and 9TH
er European powers to admit foreign goods
at an exceedingly low rate of duties, and
the United States would be treated in the
same way If il was Il weak nation. Now,
the best way TO bring about the proposed
reform is the simplest way-so simple that
the people can easily understand 1t. Dur
ing the late war every farmer and rianter
was required To give one-tenth Of his crop
