to the farmers and nil others do- ;

I-.*: ■si that we regret that space floes ;
it t permit us at present to publish I
t:i<■ ui all in full. At this particular |
i . e, however, we shall notice some of j
the i) Important facts In connection j
v. i.l i ihe general subject iu order and !
in tic hope that all of those who siu- i
••• :• -ly desire to see the full success of !
t!. cotton growers' movement may !
1:1 lerionsly consider a matter in J
a. 'lion witli their own welfare, I
mi is in some respects to be looked i
i ; »u as one demanding as much ;
)!>. a-:'.i as are the best means of bring
i: . jut a reduced acreage of cotton
; in- attempt has been made and Is .
p. i 'd Iti to show that a tariff on |
i - is utterly useless as a practical :
n>:Mtrr aside from the principle in-'j
v n because practically no cotton Is ;
i .or dto this country. Great prom- j
if ace Is given in news columns to the j
t ! failure of attempts to raise i
i ,ii! .i.in other parts of the world, I
w!.:-' have been essayed by various
lim 'j> in governments in Africa and 1
i ' : re. Only a start has been made
in that, direction, and It is too early j
yet to predict with confidence of posi- |
- that these efforts will be tin
successful. As to the future importa- ,
ti 'it of cotton we are much concerned,
!■ tit 1" r the present what is of more :
•or ce is the present importation. j
iu ISDO it amounted to only about 12,-
(M) 0 lia'.es. T) ' 1 importation was for !
- 1 cr.iatlvo puijM.se-. and that is a seri- \
si-, nation that should lie considered.
Vet even if foreign effort" at raising
c.: ton in competition ■•ith the south
i: 1 successful, it must be retnem
b • i that, even now foreign raised
«■>";• <ii. imported. Injuri tisly 'affects
<••>! (on growers. Our information is
that- a bale of Egyptian cotton dis
places, on account of the length of its
ti iabout twice the quantity of
A:." n short staples. Fifteen years ,
a'jo Allen long staple was produced in
in- i j sections of the south. This has
i i been driven out by the Egyp
tian caiton, 'Die Egyptian cotton !
ones into direct competition with our
Hca i aid cotton, and why are not our
Kea island and coast farmers entitled
to prou ction from the government just
as much so as the wheat and grain
farmers of the west?
VVliat objection is there in making
this product of the cheap labor of
Egypt contribute its share of revenue
toward running the government?
This cotton is raised In manufactur
ing imitation slik and other luxuries,
and we could take just that much tax j
i'rem s une of the necessaries of lift .
Long staple cotton does not yield
lie.ivliy per acre it takes about three 1
ac! -s of land that would make one bale
'. !> > , staple to produce one bale of I
loicx L.iple. If there was a duty of I
5 air. a a pound on cotton Imports it |
would induce cotton planters togo Into i
vlie production of the long staple varie
ties ,'iud it would reduce the acreage i
three for one. The difference between ,
the 1".: and short -.tuple varieties Is ;
nut su Icient now to induce die culti
vati'.u 'if the long staple. It is difficult
t'. .sr.nluee both varieties on tiie same
p autailou and keep the seed pure, and, I
) ..; t it tak. .« a dlU'erent gin for the |
l. 'ig .' iaple.
'i'he NOUth is the home of cotlou. In .
South Carolina we can produce any- i
tiling from the S«»a Island to the short
stable upland, and if tills 5 cents pro- i
lec,;-.'i were giv-u S,a:th Carolina and ;
the -itli. It would soon be producing a
i"... to i that would take the place of the I
Egyptian cotton. (
That a long staple cotton can be ,
raised on the upland of South Caro- !
linn i a matter >f no eiv>s<lou. Vnri
nu.« g ntlemen lan e spoken to us as to !
that matter, and they say they were j
slice - sful so far as cot' >n raising is
