The great increase In the consumption of
cotton BY the British and Continental spiuners
Is generally prognoslicated; a writer on this
subject In the Financial Chronicle says:
Taking the actual consumption in Europe to
be the quantity delivered for consumption les,
than the 342, 900 bales surplus held BY spinners,
we find that during the last year, ending Sep
tember 80, American cotton was consumed IN
England al the rate OF SO, 900 bales per week,
and on the Continent, Qncluding Russia,
Spain. &c., at $4,000 bales, or, for the year
1901, 2,704, 900 bales. What can be the sup
ply tor lS7l72 to Europe?
Stock In European ports, Oct. l.. 2S90oo
Spinuers' surplus, $4,000 OF
which amount Amer lean. 275,0O0
Suppose our crop TO be. g, 100000
And what we retain. i, l00.0 600
Then Europe can get............ 100000
Total supply OF American 20 Europe. 2s6i 1000
This leaves our stock In ports as last
September, and our mills as In lS709

year, will oe........... Z'o4'ooo

sumed. ................ .o'Vuo
But suppose any condition or trade
should demand an increased use OF
American, say per cent. $4,000
Then In the ports and mills of all Europe
would be $4,000 bales, or only about two and
q halt weeks supply.
The stock unconsumed cannot be reduced 80
lew as that quantity. Long before 1t could be
reached, consumption would be checked by
high prices. 1t follows that If our crop shall
prove to be only 3,500,0G9 bales, Europe, as
whole, cannot materially exceed Its last years
use of American cotton, whatever may be the
demand of trade or the condition OF manufac-
turing interests.

To the Lately Epfranehised,

1t is a hOmely saying but a wise one -
"Dont hallOo until you get out of the woods"
We fear that those lately RESIN sested with the
privilege Of voting, have not needed this say
ing. We have been hallooing while yet in
the woods, and unless We hre watchFTl and
vigiIant, nay, like the children of Israel, be
tarned back again into the depths Of the will
deTness.
The mere ratification Of the Flick amend
ment has not let us into the open plain
True, the beautiful opening is just ahead of
US, and We catch Glimpscs Of it through the
trees aud brush that overshadow and encum-
Der our pathway, but we must remember that
all is not yet safe. We must not forget thrt
the Supreme Court of the State il Radical.
and 1t IS almost certain that if the question
were brought before that Court, two out of
the three judges composing it, would decide
that We had never been legally eufranchised,
and thus We would be Temanded back to our
old condition of vassalsge to Radicalism.-
That the question will be brought before that
Court, should a Convention be defeated. is
almost dead certainty. Our only safety is III
Convention that will give US Constitution
with the last traces Of disftanchisement
stricken from it, and the enfrauchisemett of
all SO plainly written there that the question
can never be raised again.
It Is, therefore, with the deepest earnest-
ness aud concern that We appeal to all re,en-
tranchised men who, like ourself, have been.
until within few months past, denied the
privilege of voting, to work constantly from
this day until sundOwn on the 9th of August.

THE OFFIGEHOLDER'S HUMBUG.

The New York Sun, Republican rfdicules
the idea that Grant has the slightest chance
FOR the radical nomination, aud declares that
while there arc but two States, New Jersey
and Indiana, whose delegates arc sure to vote
for him, twenty States can be named that'are
sure to vote against him FIRST, last aud all the
time. The Sun continues: ''As'G civil officer,
Gen. Grant has proved himself pfeposterous
failure. Hs.has done all one nau could do to
degrade the Government aud destroy the Re.
publican party in this line he has thousand
times exceeded Andrew Johnston. His pres.
eats, his bribe>takers aud worthless relations
in Office, his insults to sound aud long-tried
Republicans, and his demoraliEiug and abb

ton, which is entirely beyond his reach-aIl
these have filed the Republican masses with
disgust, and will render Grant, as soon N he
is out of power aud mo longer has Offices to BE-
