generally conceded that homogrown

plies and the observation of every
planter is that thoit Southern fartn
oi s who live within themiclves aro
moru independent and less encum
bered with debt than thoio who have
relied solely upon tho cotton erop
Were It otherwise it is haardous for
any people to rely upon others for a

necessary for their daily
conettmp
lho horrors of famine which havo
inoio than once cursed the people of
India in their cflbrts to grow cotton

labors t W bclievo there la not and
you buvo only to praetieo this policy for
the year 1874 and the harvesttime will
lirosloim redemption to the South and a
return to Its wonted prosperity
Ai our Constitution expresses it the
PltOSPXIIITY 01 A NATION
is in propoition to tlio value of its
productions Then how magnifi-
cently prosperous should bo tho cot-
ton States of this Union 1 Annually
lour millions 4000000 of bales of
cotton aro protluced upon Southern
soil Rut what proportion of this
vast amount is retained to indicate
our prosperity V Onehalf of it is ex-
pended for necessary upplici whilst
tho remainder is divided between
labor and taxes Hence the cost of
production has succeeded the value
ol tho article produced Shall this
policy continue Extonsivo cotton
crops hav o evinced our unity of pur-
pose and entailed povorty upon us
An ccpial uniform adhesionto mixed
husbandry would secure our recupera-
tion
Patrons of the South do yon ap-
preciate your privileges Kelleot
upon your opportunity to exact tri-
bute ot tho world Cotton is a ncs
cessity and the extent of that ne-
cessity can be calculated with cx
actnesf It is eepially well known
what proportion of that necessity
must be supplied by the cots
ton States of America If
three million fivo hundred thousand
balcs3500000 ore grown they will
bo coositncd before another crop can
be gatheicd and a remunerative
market price will bo sustained by
tlio consequent demand If four
million five hundred thousand 4600
000 are grown the large matginal
excess will control nnd depress the
maiket
Is it not in the power of our organ-
ization t control this feature of our
condition
Alternatives for success aro numer-
ous but vo need rely upon tho single
ono ot cooperating in the determin-
ation to subsist at home With this
end attained thcro is no reason why
wo should not bo tho happiest most
independent aud prosperous people
