LOW PRICE COTTON

Price Of Cotton.
The Selfish Work of Middlemen Who
Live on the Planter
In Opposition to Diversified Crops anc
Modern Methods.

From New York Journal of Commerce, Sep
tember l1th.l
Mr.. Richard H. Eomonds, editor of
the Manufacturers Record, Baltimore,
is in the city for a flew days, and in
the course Of conversation with a rep
resentative Of this journal yesterday
said;
Il do not think that there is any
ground for hoping that we shall ever
again see high prices for cotton, except,
possibly, under exceptional circum-
stances, such as a crop failure, and then
only for brief period Of not over a
year CT at the most two years.
"A general range Of high prices
such as the planter is always looking
forward to as a possible future bless
Ing, has in all probability forever
pissed away, because there is no like
lihood OF planters ever combining to
such an extent as to make any mate
rial decrease in acreage. Production
seems destined to constantly keep
little ahead of consumption. As much
as we Of the South may regret this
era OF low prices, it is as well to face
the situation squarely and see what
can be done to Offset the disadvantage
OF low prices or, in other words, to
find the disguised blessing; for there
must be at least something to set
against this disadvantage. | believe
it to be the duty of every man and espe-
cially of every Southern man, who
has any interest in the progress and
prosperity Of the whole South and of
all classes, TO study the situation and
to endeavor to the utmost to develop
the blessings, however small they may
at first appear.
''lu the first place, we must recog-
nize that the practical control OF the
worlds cotton supply is essential to
the upbuilding Of the South, and that
this can only be maintained by pros
dEcing cotton at a cost so low as to
prevent the large development of
cotton-growing in other countries.
Two or three years of high prices, If
they could be had, would, it is true
put great deal of money in the
hands OF Southern farmers, but this
would so stimu cotton-groNing
pendent upon US for It's future supply
Of cotton. This, however, would not
by any means be the main disadvan-
tage on that side. The worst result
would be that the tendency to diver
siied farming, to the production of
grain, provisions and all other food
supplies, which is rapidly spreading
because forced upon farmers by the
small returns from cotton would be
checked, and the mass of farmers would
again devote all their attention to cot
ton. 1t is needless to say that no one
crop country can he broadly and per-
manently prosperous. Diversity is
absolutely essential to the best inter-
ests and to the general prosperity Of all
classes.

There is no withstanding the living argn-

that he had W been present at a

try as delegates They reported to
the Government of the Dominion of
Canada the result of their observations.
and from this report extracts have
been taken, which are published below:
I'VE have visited a number of most
desirable locations, and are highly
pleased with the country as a whole,
1T being beyond our highest expecta-
lions. We find here a prosperous and
well-content2d lot of people. They
have comfortable homes, and their vast
fields of wheat and other crops in addi-
ton to their herds of choice cattle, in
dictate prosperity in the full sense of
the word. In conversation with the
Farmers throughout II trip we learned
Ghat the majority of them came here
with very limited means, and some
with no more than enough to
bring then here, and they are now
well-to-do. They all claim that this is
the only country for a poor man, or
n with little means, to get a start
n make a home for himself and FAM
lily. AS you are aware, we were a
little shaky and undecided before leav-
ing Detroit, but have determined since
that we, with our friends, will make
this country III future home. 1t is
lar from being the wilderness we had
pictured 1t to be; it is, instead, a land
having all the facilities required by
modern civilization, such as railroads,
markets, stores, churches, schools, etc,
in fact, an ideal home for those having
h future welfare of themselves and
families at heart"
The Messrs. Striovski selected the
Alameda district, but what they say
of it applies in a general way to most
other districts in that vast country.
They speak of the fuel, which is to be
had in great quantities, of the water
that can be had by digging from 10 to
20 feet, and of the good grazing land
to be had almost everywhere. There is
plenty of wood for building timber and
for fuel, while coal is convenient, and
sells at low prices at the mines. In
driving through the country they
passed may fine patches of wild rasp-
berries, and say they can speak highly
of their favor, as they could not resist
the temptation to stop and eat.
