runs thus: ”Item. there is yet another

them and sing and play. Somego about

The cotton states ought to be happy

for years. Lend were the complaints
that ihcro was no money in them. This
state continued till inany'hod become

Many planters had concluded that cotton
did not pay to misc. Suddenly. with»

there are rcguluriy recurring cycles of
high and low prices. in case of cotton
there isgnore appearance of reason in
the sudden rise of price, for the cotton
crop was short. There was still plenty

that the producer of a staple has only
to hang on till his turn comes again. It

business of wheat raising. yet the price
of wheat is certain to rise again, sooner
