COTTON A COSTLY KING.

In his recent Tuskogee address on
agricultural advancement in the
Southern States, Secretary of Agrlcul-
ture " 2son urged upon the farmers
OF that section the advisability OF
turning their attention to the growing
of other products than cotton
The present, he pointed out. is time
when the Southern farmer should be
peculiarly open to conviction of the fact
that it is extremely unsafe for him to
depend entirely upon the profits arts
ing from his cotton crop for his main
tenance and success as farmer. BE is
now facing the grim necessity of selling
his cotton for less than it cost him to
raise it, and Secretary Wilson's Iargu-
ments in behalf of certain other prod.
ucts that might be advantageouslt cul.
tivated in the South, with redtctior

of the acreage heretofore given up ex-

of the acreage heretofore given ZIP ex-
exclusively to cotton, should have fallen
upon attentive and heedful ears. Ex-
perience is the best Of teachers, and
the South's experience with cotton of
late years has certainly been CT nature
warranting at least an experimental
change to other crops.
The st. Louis Republic thinks it is
more than likely that this present eli
making season Of five cent cotton will
indeed lead many farmers in Southern
States to experiment in other directions,
while still planting a fairly large crop
of cotton. If such should be the result
of the most unsatisfactory year the
South has ever known, in so faf as its
chief staple is concerned, the slump in
cotton will prove to have been some
thing OF a blessing in disguise, pointing
future. And that the South is in a
position to take advantage of the lesson
is shown by figures also found in Sec
rotary Wilson's address, revealing the
fact that despite the low prices real
lied for its cotton crop, that rich section
is nevertheless in a better condition
than at the same time last year, and is
rapidly advancing in manufacturing
and mercantile Importance
A country SO generously blessed by
nature should profit to the utmost by
its natural advantages. 1t might be
well for the Southern farmers to some
what decrease their cotton acreage and
see what the fertile soil of their planta-
tons will do in the way of enriching
them with other and more profitable
crops.

SOURCES OF REVENUE,

The one most important matter with
which the present Congress will have
to deal is the question Of producing
sufficient revenue to run the govern
ment. although the President neglected
this entirely in his message. The ques-
ton Of taxation is in a very crude condi-
ton in this country. Most people think
that the tariff is the main source Of
revenue. But it is not, although it
is a subject Of very great import
ance; it receives more attention (be-
On special legislation) than any other
question. Every class Of manufacturers
is interested to get the tariff as high as
possible. They go down to Washington
with committees and in person, or by
attorneys Of the best ability they can
command, get legislation protecting
their special interests. They never
stop to think of the government. how it
is to be carried on; it is their own bus
mess that they are interested in What
Senator Hoar said of the old Mckinley
bill is true Of the Dingley bill it was
made UP according to the requests OF
the parties interested. The sugar trust
dictated the sugar schedule; steel man
ufacturers the steel schedule; the lead
trust the lead schedule; wool specula-
ufacturers the wooden schedule;
The manufacturers Of chemicals the
chemical schedule, and so the bill is a
patchwork of avarice and selishness.
Very little patriotism or political econ
omy enters into the construction of a
protective tariff
The Ding4ey bill must ultimately
be torn to pieces because of its
selfshness,. its inability to furnish
revenue to carry on the governn ent
and its absolute injustice to consumers
The tariff produces about 80 per cent
of all the national revenue, while 6z
per cent. comes from other sources. II
II were not Tor the internal revenue, this
government Of ours would be in q much
sadder condition than it now Is. II il
were necessary to depend entirely Upon
customs duties not 40 per cent. e The
bills Of the government could be paid
We raise perhaps a little more from :ht
tariff duties than enough to pay The
pensions and this would leave all tht
rest Of the expenses of the government
unpaid for, if we had no other source
OF income.

WORLDS CONFERENCE,
OF Foreign Missionary Societies to Be
Held IN New York in April 1900

OF Foreign Missionary Societies to Be
Held IN New York in April. 1900.
Boston, December ia letter from
committee representing the foreign
missionary societies Of America, adj
dressed to the seer 8taries of the Pro-
testant missionary societies Of Great
Britain and the continent of Europe
soliciting an expression of their views
as to the desirability Of convening an
ecumenical foreign missionary confer
ence (similar IN aim and character to
the worlds missionary conference at
London in 1889 in the city of New
York, in April, 1900, and their readi-
ness to cooperate in such a confer
ence, has met with a general and IA
vorable response. In view of the cor
dial feeling and unanimity expressed
the American societies have author
lied the holding of the conference and
an invitation has been issued, signed
by the Rev. Judson Smith, D. D., of
Boston as chairman, and Rev. H. N.
Coob, D. D., Of New York, as secre-
tary
This invitation asks each society to
be represented by two or more dele
gates in ecumenical conference on for
eign missions. to meet in New York
on April 20, 1900, and to continue for
ten days from that date. The invita-
tons are to be sent to all Protestant
foreign missionary societies.

AGAINST THE SCALPERS.
New York Merchants to Appear Before q
Committee of Congress.

Committee of Congress.
New York, December 13.--About a
dozen merchants, number of rail-
road officials and committees compris-
ing the various associations of ticket
brokers' in the city are TO appear before
tie Railroad Committee of the House,
in Washington, December II, at the
hearing of the bill to prevent the sale
of tickets b. the brokers not regular
ly appointed agents of a railroad.
The merchants who are to appear
before the committee are members of
the merchants association who were
instrumental in securing the New York
State law.
The railroad men backed by the
merchants association and the promi-
nent business men Of the city, are de-
termined to have the bill passed if pos
sible. They have taken the question
TO Congress because the State law has
been proved a failure, owing to it's
limited scope and because there is a
question Of its constitutionality when
the point that it interferes with inter-
state commerce is raised. The law
yers for the ticket brokers have brought
up this question already. The law ap-
plies to New York State railroads only
and not to railroads that transact bus
mess under the laws of other States
A broker who buys or sells ticket is
sued by a New York State railroad can
bessent to prison for a term of not less
than one year. though the value of the
ticket not be more than ten cents. For
that reason the brokers no longer han
die New York Central nor Lake Shore
tickets. The law, however, cannot
touch them for buying ard selling
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and West
ern railroad tickets.

ANXIETY in Havana

Havana, December 12.-The plans Of
the insurgents TO strike blow near The
city have been checked, according to the
official account, but the concentration oil
their forces is such as to make it IN
likely that the insurgent bands will sur
render, as the Spanish authorities have
been hoping.
The business concerns of the city are
much discouraged by the actual situa-
ton. They do not look forward TO q
speedy end of the revolution All say
that they have abandoned the hope that

WHAT NE&To

Among the fin de steele perform
ances gotten up in New York to tempt
the faded palates of the curious, who
have just been surfeited with the sight
of men killing thems elves in bicycle
race for money, is that of the woman
who will try to fast sixty days in a
New York museum. She will live on
twenty-four ounces of water a day;
She expects her weight to be reduced
about one pound day. She will be
watched day and night and will re-
ceive $4,000 if she accomplishes the
feat
Gaping mobs of the morbidly curious
will view her. and the museum man.
ayers expect to make very nice thin 2
financially out of the disgusting eX~
hibition. We may expect TO see the
sensational press of New York full of
the daily details of the wasting and
suffering of this woman making pub
lie exhibition Of her ability to violate
the laws Of nature for two months, in
consideration of $4,000
In. this latter end of the Nineteenth
century it is pertinent to inquire what
ails us when such exhibitions as this
have the call on the public eye?

The civil service law will be roughly
handled in Congress this week. Dc
spite the high-sounding professions
ard platform promises of the party Of
God and morality, nine Republicans
in Washington out Of every ten are
enemies Of the law, and everybody
from the President down, is doing his
utmost to evade its provisions. The
grand old party of superlative hypOc-
risy is magnificent in campaign de-
nunciation of the spoils system, while
a party of more desperate and con
scienceless spoils1nen never lived
when it's gets to Washington. We
have no use for the law, but so long
as it is on our statute books it should
be enforced honestly.
