AS TO COTTON PRODUCTION.

There is not much doubt about til,
fact that the cotton producers are tiret
Of continually hearing the harpinl
question Of what they should do TO bet
ter their condition in the face Of over
production of cotton and the best wal
out of their present condition. Th'
Houston Post. published in the 5000,
600 bale producing country. says:
Those who are advocating Il regu
larry organized combination among the
farmers to Gu: down the cotton acreage
in the hope of raising the price OF the
staple will find that such a movement
contemplating such huge association
and scattered over such wide extent
of territory, is Impractical.
.As matter of fact. the price OF
cotton, while influenced, of course, to
some extent by the volume OF produc-
ton. wili'remain upon general low
level until something is done to IN
crease the capacity or resources of The
people for greater consumption. The
masses must be able to buy more cot
ton clothing and be relieved from the
present. pressure of putting up with
one or two garments where they ought
TO have, and would like to have, a half
dozen or mole!
1.-The seat of the trouble is the scarcity
of money in active circulation. This
the farmers can only remedy by insist
ing upon financial policy that will put
more money within easy reach of the
masses.
$40 the extent. however, that under
consumption, often falsely called cover
production, " is now entering into the
problem of price the farmers can, IN
deed, obtain some relief by cutting
down-the crop. While the low level
may remain, prices, of course, will
fuctuate as the crop is unusually small
or unusually large. We ought TO have
a financial system and business pros
perity that would enable every man to
profitably sell all he could raise, but
we have not got it.
This reduction of the volume. of cot
ton to suit the existing underconsump-
ton. however, will not be accomplished
at all if not suggested by the intelli-
gence and experience of the farmers
themselves. If they do not without
special organizations see that they
should make their cotton crop of secon-
Diary Importance to their food crops. it
is doubtful if we shall see other than
constantly Increasing cotton crops. If
they can not without combinations
determine for themselves that to pur-
chase all their supplies, supplies that
they could themselves raise, out of A.
cent cotton is losing business and
must be stopped, it is doubtful if or
ganized appeals will help matters.
at would do no good to open new
markets if the poverty of the new peo-
pie reached prevented them from buy
ing to any large extent. We have mil
lions in the United States whose pur-
chases for clothing ought to be, and
under normal conditions would be
qnadruple what they are now. Let us
reach this home market before talking
of foreign markets. To place this
country on a proper financial basis
would mean added business, the
greater employ of labor. more
customers and better customers for
agricultural products and cause general
prosperity where now there is general
depression"

The Shreveport Caucasian in an
article on the attempt OF the. Repub.
licans trying to enact force bill
says ''the possible enactment by a
partisan Congress of force bill, to
coerce the Southern States into giving
Republicans majorities, is being dis
cussed by metropolitan newspapers.
The Republican party can never
exert the pernicious influence which
has linked its record with the infamv
of reconstruction. The extremists of
that party may attempt to arouse
sectional hatred and strife, but their
damnable efforts, will only incite a
stronger resentment to their cowardly
and villainous scheme and would
unity every self-respecting white man
IN the South to resist to the death, if
necessary, any encroachnent of their
rights. In the Southern States. the
white man shall rule and Democracy
shall triumph. The threats of force
bills and Federal bayonets have no
terror for brave men. Neither Nc
KinIey, nor Hanna, nor Reed, nor
their combined influence can ever
foist on any States OF the South, the
rule Of the carpet Dagger and the
scallowsg. Let them try it; let the
partisan hypocrites, moved, by the
spirit Of Hell, attempt it, il they
lare. !"
