The Hon. B. H. Hill, of Geor-
gia, made the following terse
and pointed remarks in a speech
delivered by him, a short time
ago, in that state. He said:
I tell you to-day, I care not
what seasons may come, what
large crops you may raise, still,
under existing conditions, you
will ever grow poorer, who pro-
duce cotton, and they will ever
grow richer who handle it after
it is produced. Without a
change, the southern states are
destined to become so many-
plantations, practically owned
by northern people, and the
southern people so many hirel-
iug slaves to work for them!
And in this condition you will
reap scarcely the wages and not
half the respect you accorded
your former slaves. And yet,
the very reverse of this fate is
in your power. Under the pres-
ent policy the next generation
of southern people will become
the poorest, the most powerless
and the most contemptible of
earth's inhabitants, while under
a wise policy, the next genera
tion of southern people may be-
come the richest, the most pow-
erful and the most respited of
people. Which destiny will we
choose.
But, you ask, how can this
better destiny be secured?
will tell you.
First make cotton your surp-
lus crop! In these five words
lie the Samson locks of your
future power. Make your own
fertilizers by resting, cropping,
grassing and manuring your
lands. Thus you become inde-
pendent of the guano im rchants.
Your cheapest and safest line
of transpostation runs from your
own fields and hog-pens to your
own barns and meat-house.—
With no debts for your supplies,
you will need no accommoda-
tion credits at two per cent per
month. Thus you become in-
dependent of brokers, cotton
factors and line merchants.—
You can then sell your cotton
at your own time, to
your chosen buyers and will
get your own money. None of
these things can a planter do
who plants on credit and bor-
rows money to buy his provi-
sions.
But, you say, the western
states raise provisions so much
cheaper, we can make more
money by raising cotton and
buying from them. This is the
teaching ot figures, and a great-
er lie was never taueht.
Now, I affirm it is cheaper
for you to raise your own pro-
visions than to have In em
brought from the west and given
to you at the nearest depot free
of cost and charges. How is
this? In the first place if we
raise 5,000.003 bales of cotton
we will get no more money for
them than we would get for one-
half that number. Then out of
the sums amount realized, you
pay for raising the 5,000,000
just double cost of production.
H?.lf the tabor and supplies em-
ployed in raising f,000,000 bales
oi cotton could be employed in
raisins- supplies without reduc-
Massachusetts workshops. In*,, ... ,
a word, every improvment would j !'s Pr°bably so good as peti o- j (
go into your own pockets.
Go. on as you are now going,
making cotton your chief crop,
slavery is the doom of your
children and your children's
children forever. A people who
depend on other people for food
and colthing are and must be
slaves.

Hum, and though we have not
tried it, we have little doubt but |
that it would also cure the pigs,
especially if applied before the
disease had made much head- j

The disease usually manifests
itself in the skin under the
armpits and thigh, and inside
the forelegs. At the first, small
red blotches or pimples appear,

"Ma," said the anxious daugh-
ter, "they bring it up with a
kick—this way, sometimes," and
she illustrated the fashionable
motion of the adepts.
The mother tried it, but did
not succeed.
" That sort of a kick may do
for snips of girls, Sarah, but
your mother ain't no colt, and I
don't reckon there's any call for
sensible married women to be
frisky like that with their heels,
even, if it is the fashion."
"Well, let's give it up till we
get home, ma; there won't be
anybody looking at us then, and
you needn't care if something
does break."
"1 might never have another
chance to show 'em. I can do
it as good as the fashionablest,!
and I'm bound to do it in style,,
whether things break or not. j
You'll see me do it this time, |
