The Demagogic pcstIience.

Manufacturers Record.
From time to time the Manufacture
els Record has warned the south OF
the evils of demagogism. Some Of
our contemporaries have made per-
sonal matter Of this failing to com
prehend that tue friend will en-
deayor to dissuade another from a
fault. But there pre- others in the
soolh OF like mind. the Whining ION
Messenger, commenting on the situa-
ton in North Carolina, frames an
editorial containing so mach vigorous
truth that we reproduce il in part.
Under the caption, "Demagogues
Building Fires TO Consume, IL says:
They seek to in1ame the public
mind and to stir up strife and anl-
mostly between neigbbors. Tc con
summale their own selfish, greedy
plans they are indifferent to public
calamity and are ready for any plot
or plan that will continue them in
public Office and give Lnem personal
following, The political
principles Of demagogue5 can be shed
as easily as clothing and the gar.
nents substituted may be of any
color nessary to harmonize with new
surroundings. They are political
acrobals at one time aud political
chhmeleons at another lime. IL Is as
absurd to call their sef.secLiag
public policy and genuine principle
us to call foul water pure or rotten
eggs sound.

Spain powerIess to Conquer Cuba.


Hannis Taylor in North American Rovie,
j Of Reviews.
! Spain herself has demonstrated
that she is powerlcss either t,
concialiate Cuba or to conquer it
Her sovereignty over it is, in m,
! humble judgment, now ext1nc
"for all purposes Of its rightfu
existence, and the hopeless exist
ence for its re-establishment' ha
degenerated into u strife whicl
means nothing more than the use
less sacrifice of human life and tn,
utter destruction Of the very sub
ject matter of the conflict itself
This deplorable state Of things i,
not only shocking to humanity
butoit is n special and grievoui
burden to the people of the Unit
ed States, by reason of their inti-
mate commercial and social rela
tions and sympathies with th,
people of an island so near to oul
coast line us to be almost part
Of our terrnory. Our commerce
with Cuba, amounting annually at
the beginning of the present war to
500, 200, 900, has been nearly wip-
ed out. The millions Of Ampri-
can capital invested in the island
have either been destroyed or rem
dered unproductive; many of our
citizens reduced to absolute want
have been forced to appeal to
congress for aid; while too many
Of them have found their way into
Spanish dungeons from which
some have been able TO escape
only through the door Of death.
But last, and worst of all, our
peace as II nation is broken and
disquieted by an endless strife
that enters as n potent factor into
our internal politics. With pa
tience almost unexampled we en-
dured all such evils during the pc
riod of hegreat war that began at
Yara in 1868, and ended ten years
later with the treaty Ianjon; thrn
came the little war; and finally
the last great war that has now
been in progress for the last two
years and a half Thus we have
been called upon to witness near.
ly fifteen years Of war in Cuba out
Of the last twenty nine. Through
out the present struggle, apart
from our commercial loses. we
have been in state Of semi-war
with Spain; a large part Of our
fleet has become n coast guard ;and
our diplomatic relations have been
50 strained that for more than Il
year the Spanish government
deemed it necessary TO guard my
place of residence with soldiers,
night and day. Since my depnr-
turo this impossible state Of things
has become still more acute, and
the uncertainty thus produced is
the one obstacle in the path of
the long hoped for prosperity just
dawnipg upon us. Business men
are plainly stating to each Other
that such uncertainty now hangs
like Il cloud over all future trans
actions.
II is folly to suppose that the
Cuban question is something that
we can set aside If we will go about
our own business. 1t has intrud-
cd itself into our national affairs
with all its disturbing consequent
ces, and 1t is here to stay until we
take hold Of il anW solve il wisely,
not only in our own interest but in
that of humanity.

REMEDY FOR CHEAP COTTON.

Crop diversity it would dp-
pear is the only salvation from
cheap cotton, and it does appear
the Mississippi planters have tax
en- heed to this and exercising it
the last two OF three years finds
them better situated, although the
price Of the heecy staple has not
adyantageously advanced. How
ever, from 3.cent.cotton, quota
tions now vary between 5 and 8
cents. In unity and mutual un-
derstandlng the farmer and plan
ter can gain much benefit, but not
when politics are permitted to
play part in the deliberations OF
such organizations.
Over in Georgia new. alliance
has been formed to solve tho prob
lem of cheap cotton, and it has
been decided that q reduction OF
acreage will prove an effective re-
medy. The organization in Gcor-
gia has been effected under full
code, and il is understood that no
member will be allowed to plant
over one third "A his cultivated d
land in cotton, non-observance OF

ford to trille with this clause as

Certain beats or districts have an
appointed surveyor whose business
it is that no land is seeded over

Of the alliance, and where a
charge proves grounded, the farm
or forfeits two bales of cotton for
every one acre in excess of the
limit, The efficacy OF such or
ganIzation is not to be doubted,
and wherever put in force will
tend to promote much good and
foster unity and cement the efforts
of The farmer with success; the
soil and It's tillers are the founda-
tion of the prosperity Of the coun-
try. Specializing upon the ad-
yantages of this alliance a cores
pondent of the Atlanta Journal
says in part:
The increased acreage in grain crops
would prevent millions of dollars from
leaving tho cotton states. The system
would improve the lands 100 per cent in
years. The Improvement of cattle and
stock would be immense. Tho increase Of
homemade manure would save more than
