Between 60 and 20 Delegates Out of s3
 for Hawley.

Hartford, Oct. 31.-Republican prfma- ries were held in each ward in this city tonight, the voting being by ballot and check list and the polls being open from to o'clock. A large vote was boiled and the result is the election of between sixty and seventy Hawley delegates to the town convention of the party, which will be held Wednesday night, out of total of eighty-three. This insures the nomination of senator and two repre- sentatives from this city to the general assembly who will vote for General Jo- seph R. Hawley for United States sena- tor to succeed himself.

Yokohama, Oct. 31.-The whole cabi- net has resigned, the ministers being unable to agree upon the question of filling the portfolio of education. Thus the first attempt at party government in Japan has proved a failure. It is probable that the next cabinet will be coalition of liberals and clan leaders.

the other hand, namely, Chic, Indl-
ana, Illinois. Michigan, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri, are
nearly nineteen million white people
and three hundred and seventy-fi
thousand negroes. The valuation of
farm lands was enhanced, in thirty
five years, from two thousand, one
hundred and thirteen million to five
thousand, eight hundred and eleven
million dollars, or an exact gain of
$3,Sll,125 l02. The gain in the
value OF farm products was slight,
but the gain in the valuation of farm
lands was nearly two hundred per
cent.
In both particulars. there was
loss in the Southern States. Such
arc the reported facts, well worthy
the thoughtful consideration of South
crn planters and farmers. The whole
South and every industry in the
South, has Il deep interest in the
solution of the agricultural problem.
The largest number of people in the
South are making a living out of the
soil! The paralysis of Southern ag-
rculture affects every other industry.
Commerce, transportation and L,anu-
factories have their interests indissol-
ubly connected with the interest of the
soil. Trade cannot be vigorous and
healthy when agriculture is depressed.
Three million homes in want presents
Il condition that will touch every mer'
chantand every railroad in the South.
When the financial ability of the farms
ing class IS crippled, short time of rail
road employees, and of those engaged
IN manufactures, will be the certain
sequence, and commerce must lam
gui>h.
The inference is from the facts
rccltcd that the non-remunerativc
condition is rooted in complex
cause. No progress can be made in
the solution of the problem until it is
understood. Surface considerations
applicable to given localities will not
answer the purpose when the under
lying causes of a, depressed condition
Ct whole class are to be investigated.
Af1cr noticing another marked fca-
'turc in the common status of the

COTTON ACREAGE, 1898.
SOME FACTS AND FIGURES.
Latham, Alexander s. Co.'s Views as
to the Ovcr-prOduction of Cotton.
An Interesting Letter.

1t seems to us that the most vitally
important lesson for the South to
learn is that over-production of cot
ton is seriously harmful to the ma
terial prosperity of that section.
We have repeatedly written on
this subject and feel that We have en-
hausted the argument; nevertheless,
with the current crop, We arc con-
strained to write again, even at the
risk of rciterating what we have said
before.
Whatever share the merchants and
planters of the South arc TO have in
the revival Of business and general
prosperity of the country, now ap-
parently well started, will depend
upon the profit that is made in the
production Of cotton, crop worth
$500, 100000.
The total crop of 1896 was
7,15I ,346 bales, and it was sold at
The average price Of 500 cents per
pound, or S4O.S2 per bale according
to the record of exports and the Off
cial figures of the Bureau OF Statis..
tics at Washington. The planters
that year made large food crops, and
when the planting season the next
year began, they were fortified with
every requisite to produce cotton
chcaply,
Last year the total crop was S,751,- =
964 bales, and the average price was
I.42 cents per pound, or S37 10 per
bale, the crop yielding, perhaps, 4
larger net profit than for many years.
because planters had few supplies to
buy.
The success resulting from the
conservative policy which was pur-
sued these two years did not induce
planters to adhere to that line of ac-
ton; on the contrary, they increased
their purchases of fertilizers this year,
and many of them drifted back al
most to the all-cotton principle, and
planted the largest cotton acreage
ever known, hoping that the world
would pay remuneratlve prices for the
staple, no matter how large the supply.
The disastrous result of ovcr-p!ant
ing this year is already clearly shown
by comparison with last year, when
the acreage devoted to cotton was
decidedly less.
Last year the amoant of cotton
marketed TO January lst was 6.39S,-
1872 bales, the average price realized
was I.53 cents per pound, $3T.97
per bale, or S2422. $50. $50.
This year 7.260,033 bales were
marketed to January 1st, the average
price realized was G.O5 cents per
pound, S3O.l9 per bale, or S22l,- :
35S, ,4O6.
The planters shipped to market
SCI ,S4l bales OF cotton more bv
January 1st this year than last, and
received for them sd, ,JS0,U44 less
money. In other words, owing to
the lower price, induced by over
production, the people Of the South
have lost on cotton shipped to mar
kct by January lst this year, the
total value of S61.Sll bales. namely.
S32,724, lo2, and SCI, l,jSO,oi4 be-
sides, making a grand total loss o.

low prices resulting therelrom, it is
Of vital Importance, not only to the
South, but the whole country, that
the cotton acreage for next year lie
materially reduced, in order to adj
vance the price of the greatest staple
product of the United States to a
paying basis.
If the planters OF the South suffer
loss, the people of the whole country
must share in it.
The South cannot stanl another
cotton crop of the same dimensions
as this years. without bringing about
disaster and bankruptcyFto planters
and handlers Of cotton, and relative
harm to the general mercantile inter-
est Of that section.
The price of cotton is more readily
influenced by the incXoiable law of
supply and demand than any other
article Of commerce. for no COM
modify is so sensitive to fluctuations,
and when superabundance is hang
ing over the market, cotton trade in
all its branches is adversely affected.
Cotton raising in the country is
virtually monopoly-two.t thirds, of
the entire production each year is
readily taken by buyers in foreign
countries, and the planters in the
South are justly entitled to Il far ,e-,
enumeration for their labor. An over
supply is the only reason why they
have to sell 6,00O,000 to 1000, coo
bales of cotton to foreign spinncrs,
without profit.
The cotton crop can and should be
made the most profitable in this
country. 1t is wholly the planters
fault that such is not tile case, as the
figures in this letter clearly show.
The cotton interest of every kind,
everywhere, would prefer an advanc-
:ng market to Il declining one, good
prices to poor one, because trade in
ali Of its ramifcations is quickened
thereby. Even the Consumers of
cotton goods arc so slightly affected
by an advance of even two or three
cents per pound in raw material that
they are not unwilling, that the
planter be well paidgYt his labor.
But, if the planting interests of the
South continue to increase cotton
acreage year after year, continual

Argument.

that after ten wears experience.
from the year 1865, Southern agri-
culture would assume normal CON
ditions. and that fair measure of
prosperity would reward the efforts
of the planter and the iaborcr. The
Southern farmer had strong reasons

had the no less strong incentive to
exert himself 10 improve lis material
condition in life. The belief was.
that with this kindly relation s;.b5ist
ing between tho landowner and the
landtllcr, the product Of this good
feeling would be Prosperity to bo,h.
1t was cxucctcd that there would &C
II large increase Of white labor ON
Southern farms. 1t was believed
that the superior intelligence Of white
farmers would not only suggest new
and better methods Of cu!tivating the
soil than those that had been ia
vogue, but that the same intelligence
would largely tend to 'hc introduc-
ton OF labor saving implements; that
intensive fnrtning would become ihr
rule, rather than the exception, Of
Southern industry. The develop
mcnt of the resources Of the soil un-
der the stimulus OF these methods
and these economic appliances. would
be in line with the progress OF otncr
industries. Largely increased crops
of cotton, sugar, rice, tobacco, corn,
oats, and every necessary food sup
ply would reward tie l,usbandmau
and usher in an era OF prosperity
without n parallel in the past. AS Il
result Of th!s progress, the Southern
planter and the farmer, wonld attain
10 Il point of assured independence,
and the laborcr to Il comfortable liv

A Cutting at EIgin.

Monday word was received from Elgin that Mir. A. E. Shepard, fore man of the gang building fences along the line of the N. M. & A. railway, had been fatally cut by Mexican workman in his gang, SO seriously that it was feared he would die. As soon as possible special train was seat up, con 7eying Dr. Chenoweth to care for the wounded man.
 Later in the day information was received conveying fuller account of the affair. Shepard had discharged several men on account of their un- satisfactory work. One Of them, named Chavez, assaulted him with a knife. cutting him clear across the abdomen, and seyering several of the intestines. Shepard immediately had others of the gang of workmen put him upon a handcar to bring him to Crittenden to be cared for, but the associates of Chavez would not permit it. He was then taken back to El- gin and special train sent to Hua- chuca, to convey the post surgeon who had been summoned from Fort Huachuca. This surgeon and Doctor Chenoweth reached the bedside of tho injured man about the same time. But all their efforts were without avail. The wounded man died at evening and his remains were brought to Nogales for burial.
