A Carlyle Story.

Dr. Donald Macleod, in an interview in
the Sunday Magazine, repeats q story
which Thack cray told him when be went
down to Glasgow to lecture on the -Four
Georges:
Carlyle and Thackeray were sitting in
the open air somewhere in the Midlands.
Carlyle was haranguing on some philoso-
phical subject, when a pheasant began
''scraichin" near them. "What an ex-
traordinary noise that pheasant is max
ing % remarked Thackeray. oh" said
Carlyle, something's troubling lis
stomach, and it's taking that method OF
uttering itself to the universe"

IN GRATITUDE,

From the haunts of the restless heart,
The city's strife,
sought the scenes where quiet reigns
A country life.
Where sounds OF bird, and bee, and stream,
Enchant the land,
And nature soothes the weary brain,
With gentle hand.
Where CLEAN the golden buttercups,
And daffodfls,
And the air, with its thousand scents,
The soul it fills
Then sorrows fade, and with the birds
That fit above,
Speaks up my heart in gratitude
That God Is love.

with prospects of extension.
On the side of the Pacific the territory
adapted to the cultivation OF cotton is
much more extensive, but less fully de-
veloped. It mbraces a strip of territory
100 miles wide, more or less, reaching
from Hermosillo to the border of Guate-
mala.
The progress of cotton planting in this
western region, as well as the progress of
civilization generally, has been greatly
impeded by the lack of means of COM
munioation. OF the large number of
companies that have received conces-
sions from the Government to construct
railways to the Pacific, no one has as yet
fulfilled the conditions. The only means
of transportation between the cities of
Central Mexico aud the region along the
Pacific is still the mule-train, and as a
consequence there are few signs of prog
ress here that have not been observed dur
ing the last 300 years. Under such condi-
tons corn and fruit are almost the only
things cultivated, and these because they
are the principal items of food, and, for a
large part of the population, the only
food. For these products there is local
demand. each community consuming the
whole or large part of its product. Cot
ton. on the other hand. under the new
conditions of manufacturing, has need of
transportation, sometimes over long dis
tances, and this, in view of the existing
want Of facilities. is an effective discour-
agement of its production.
The existing system of cotton manu-
features in Mexico had its origin in the
decade following the achievements of DO
litical independence. Lucas Alaman, the
historian, then Minister, was influential
in bringing is into existence. The first
mill for spinning and weaving was built
in Puebla, and was called La Con-
stancis." Somewhat later, in 1885, an
other mill was established in the same

The Cotton aOutlooI1.

~
An old cotton operator, a success
full veteran of speculation in that
market, used to describe the progress
of a bull speculation as follows:
First the wise men buy aud the
fools sell; second the wise men sell
and the fools cover; third the wise
men sell and tho fools buy"
Speculation in cotton during the
past week had been the most active
recorded for many years. Prices
have advanced nearly &c. and the
market on Thursday evening closed
we'll at the top. with a strong tone
and every evidence of undiminished
speculative power. The impetus
acquired in an upward direction
seems unexhausted; in fact the pace
is accelerated. Liverpool has taken
alarm at the light receipts, which
are hardly rs per cent. of what they
were last year, and althoug spinners
do not as pet appear to have bought
any large number of spot colt on,
they are said to have been large
buyers of contracts with a view of
protecting the engagements uoder
which they find themselves for
manufactured goods. January con-
tracts in New York sold On Thurs
day at 81 c., while AID. aad over is
obtainabIe in LiVerp DOL for spot
cotton. The American dry goods
market reported strong and active
with higher prices asked for nearly
all description of goods. American
spinners, unable to buy spot cotton
on account of the strength of the
southern markets, have been protect.
ing themselves as far as possible by
purchases of contracts in New York.
In fact everybody seems to be buy
ing cotton, and there have been very
few who have had the temerity to
sell it short. Under the circumstan
ces the only supply of contracts
available to supply the demand must
come from those already owoers of
the article, and who are content to
accept the profit at present obtain
able. and these contracts have pass
ed from hand to hand during the
week at constantly advancing prices.

Gold bug Fallacy.

-
Bro. Dawkins, the talented editor
of the Farmerville Gazette, who we
understand enjoys the unique dis
tinction of being the sole surviving
gold bng in Union parish. attempts
10 a very ~cleverly constructed arti-
Gle to show that there is no relation
between the price OF silver and that
of farm products. He takes the
prices prevailing in l845 as a basis
and institutes q comparison of prices
of various articles of merchandise in
ordinary use then and now. He
states that cotton sold for Al cents
per pound that year. It is 80, and
it is a fact that cotton soil that year
in Mobile, Ala, as low as 81 cents
per pound. The deca,Ie from 1910
to 1850 was a very gloomy one for
the cotton planting interests. Spec
ulation nor the currency had aught
to do with the low prices. As the
editor of DeBow's Review said at
the time, I'VE have been guilty of the
folly of overstocking the markets of
the world" To l845 when the an
nual consumption of cotton was g.,
$50, 900 bales, with q stock on hand
at the close of the season of IDOL.
600 bales, the United States pro.
duced a crop of 1894 SOB bales, thus
Cutting the market with a surplus
of nearly 100000 bales, or so per
cent more than could be consumed.
Could the result be otherwise ? The
stock on hand at the close of 1894
was $4,000 bales, the estimated
consumption 6,9O3. 900 bales, the
crop was 7.549,8l7 bales; yet with
this small margin prices tumbIed to
nearly the figures Of 1916. What
would have been the result had the
surplus of 1894 been as large, com.
paratively, es in 1845, say 3,50O,0 900
bales? Why cotton would have
touched 3 cents.
Some believe in fat money and
greenbacks could take the fact that
cotton sold for $l.85 in gold per
pound, in 1865 with this country on
q paper basis and therefr ON con-
clude that a return to fiat money
was all that was necessary to return
prosperity.
Gold gambling, and cotton gam
bling, are responsible for a large
share of our ills, and the evident de.
