tin spinner confidently waits irn1
.hides his next years' supply of cot
.ton at his own price. Now. It Is up to
the South .is to whether we shall sacri-
fice ourselves and our neighbors upon
destruction. The price of cotton was
made for over a century upon a tyisls
being crown liv slave lalior This wns
before the Cjvil War. Since then we
have never been able as farmers to
convince the world that we can no
longer grow cotton at slave labor
prices. Why not convince the world
now thai we can't do It0 l,e| its cut
this crop half this year and not grow
over fi.Odd 000 hales And thereby
give the spinning world such a severe
shock (lint ever afterwards, when they
drive cotlon so far below the cost of
production, they will know that we, as
Intelligent men, will not attempt to
grow it at unprofitable prices. Can we
farmers east of the great Mississippi
I River depend on you Texas farmers
ito meet us half-way and cut this cot-
iton acreage to the hone ? Then next
|fall we may at least expect 10c per
pound for what we raise.
I You may think you are in n bad
|way financially now, but you have not
yet learned your first lesson in the
school of hard times and will not learn
It. until you begin to haul your cotton
to market next fall and sell It for 5c
per pound. Your debts will then go
unpaid, and if yon depend on cotton
to get the necessities of life, your wife
and children will cry for bread. Texas
should make some cotton, of course;
but she ought to quit living out of
paper sacks and make an Independent
living at home If Texas will do this
we will win a great victory, for the
Eastern bell will cut deep both in
acreage and fertiliser. But if Texas
continues to grow cotton in the quan-
tities of us will go bankrupt, and It
will require years of hard labor anil
toll to recover. Meet us half-way citi-
zens of Texas, and let's be independ-
ent again, yours truly,

sister for a few days. Her father, J. I*

turn there to be with him In the last
