AGENTS FOR THE LIGHT.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY, q, 1888.
PROTECT THE SOUTH.

1t does seem as though this demo-
cratic congress had spite against
southern industries. Not content with
making their attack open and direct up
on the wool industries Of the south
there lie now pending before congress q
bill which strikes directly at the cotton
growers interests. This bill, ostensibly
In the interest Of food protection against
adulteration, Ia In reality aimed against
the consumption OF cotton seed oil as an
article OF food. The first blow was
struck against this food product when
the oleomargarine bill was passed. This
bill cut of large market for cotton
seed oil by making the Oleomargarine
product subject TO direct taxation and
special regulations in the interest Of the
dairy farmers Of the north. This present
bill, which aims to provide for manufac-
ture and regulation Of sale OF refined
lard, lie merely an excuse to strike an
other blow at the cotton seed oil bust
ness. The facts are that two qualities Of
lard are put upon the markets;
one called pure lard and the
other refined lard. This pure lard
10 what its name indicates, pure
lard, and becomes mere oil 10 hot
climate. The refined lard Ia composed
of from GO to 70 per cent Of prime steam
lard, from Is to % per cent OF prime
cotton seed oil, and from to Is per
cent Of beef fat. This refined lard ls
sold as refined lard and not as pure
lard, and brings correspondlDgly
lower price In the market. The bill
before congress discriminates against
this product and seeks to make Its
manufacture and sale odious by impos-
Ing burdensome restrictions. The in
tent Of the whole bill is to cut off the
profits from southern products and
Increase those OF the northern grower.
Ii would, II 1t becomes law, destroy the
trade In refined lard, or place 1t at such
disadvantage as to drive It from the
market. The enhanced profits OF cotton
growing arise very largely from the
Increased demand for cotton seed oil.
The oil constitutes more than per cent
OF the value OF the crop, and II demend
existed for the entire oily yield would
add fully l2i per cent to the value of the
cotton crop. That is TO say at the
present demand for cotton seed oil the
cotton growers Of the south receive Sl2,.
100000 annually for the cotton crop,
more than they would were there
no demand for oil, and $4,000, 900 IN.
crease II there was demand for the en-.
tire oil product. 1t lie this amount Of
money which this bill seeks to take Out
Of the pocket Of southern cotton growers
and put In the pockets Of the pork and
dairy men Of the north. As to the
healthfulness Of cotton seed oil, there ID
no claim made that 1t is any sense
deleterous to health. The south should
rub her eyes and wake up, II she would
prevent her industries from being sacri.
noed for those OF Der northern rivals
and sacrificed too by a democratic con.
sress, whose strong hold on power ID
alone found In solid democratic south.
