From the Advocate.
The Issues Must be Clearly Defined.
&c JOHNSON
The failure of the United States
government to grasp the opportunity
that was lately presented for acquir-
ing possession Of the Union Pacific
and Kansas Pacific railroads will only
be the signal for advocates Of govern
ment ownership to press the merits Of
their theory, and we may expect to
see that very question put more
prominently in issue in the coming
Congressional campaigns than ever
before. Indeed, there are many
among the so.called conservative
thinkers who will now admit that the
general government could conduct
the carrying business of the country,
but they will not admit the expedi-
ency Of such function. But we may
leave the ethical aspects of the ques-
ton for the present and look at it
from the unsentimental view point
of a cold business proposition. And
what do we see when the matter is
viewed in this way? We see, saying
nothing about the millions of acres Of
lands, the title deeds to which was
given to lailroads-I deny that hu-
man authority has any right to give
or sell land-but taking no account
of the homes that were stolen from
the people in order that those great
corporations might profit thereby, =

No one has disputed Senator Har
ris' statement that the Kansas Pacific
railroad property is worth at least
$25. 100000, yet the present admins

ports of the condition of the South
due to the low price of cotton
have been published. The report,
are calculated to give wrong i'm.
pressions of the South among per.
sons ignorant of facts. About the
only statement absolutely correct
in the reports is that cotton is low
in price. All information received
by the Manufacturers Record re-
lating to Southern business inter
ests indicates a general improve
ment, Notwithstanding the low
price of cotton. TO obtain special
information regarding the subject
a circular letter was sent by it to
bankers, manufacturers and bust
ness men generally in all parts of
the South, containing the follow
ing questions:
Is business improving or not .
As far ps you are advised, what
is the general financial condition
of farmers!
Was cotton produced at a cost
low enough to partly offset present
prices, and are farmers raising
more foodstutfs than heretoforel
What is the general industrial
outlook
To these questions large num-
ber of replies have been received
from variety Of sources in nearly
every State OF the South. While
some of the replies have gloomy
tinge, the mass of them are of
decidedly encouraging character.
They are valuable as calling atten-
tion more strongly than mere gen
eral statements to the development
of resources in the South.
From a survey of the letters it
seems evident that the farmers of
the South are in good spirits in
spite of the lQw price Of cotton,
which, indeed, was discounted in
working the crop. The lmanufac-

no occasion for faint-heartedness
because of the reports of the low
priced cotton published with scare
headlines. The South has changed
in the past fifteen or twenty years.
Five-cent cotton even quarter OF
a century ago would not have
meant disaster to the South. Since
then conditions have marvelously
changed, and cotton no longer oc-
cuples the commanding position it
once had. Other resources are
being developed. The farmer is
learning to live at home, and the
opportunities for the employment
of more persons in industrial pur-
suits are constantly widening. The
trade at ports is developing. Rail
roads are extending their lines or
making improvements of other
kinds. Low price of cotton may
induce the farmers to change their
methods for the better. 1t will
not cripple the South industrially
or commercially. Manufacturers
