A SYRICHSE INCIDENT.

IL looks as though the Democratic State
Convention would not be held at Syracuse after
all. In a list of patents granted August 25,
1889, to citizens of central New York, as re-
corded in THE Syracuse Journal appears
the following:
John II. Christman, Syracuse,
Bottle-stopper.
Is il likely that whiskey's Governor will hold
his convention in city which suffers one Of
its citizens without rebuke to patent so palpable
an insult to the Democracy as bottle-stopper?
Hardly. Governor Hill will doubtless recon-
vene the Democratic Committee, so that it may
nullify it's decision in selecting Syracuse and
hit upon city for the convention whose genius
is devoted to bottle openers and not bottle
shoppers John II. Christman, Syracuse.
bottle-stOpper''-oh no; Hill will never stand
that. What's patent bOttle-stOpper if not the
entering wedge, or if not the entering wedge
then the first gun, Of " inequtable, oppressive
sumptuary legiSlationD?
1t is just barely possible that if the Demo
Gratis of Syracuse take prompt and resolute
action Hill may be induced not to reassemble
the committee. The best thing they can do
is to call mass-meeting for the purpose Of
S-A'"i''S ShAi''nihH, uCHOuuNinS DOblc-SbOD-
pers, and renewing their allegiance to bottle
openers in all that bOttle-Openers imply 1t
would be well for the Syracuse Democracy to
burn Christman and his patent in effigy, in
case it should not be thought advisable to burn
them at first hand. The resolutions to be
adopted by them by acclamation a rising vote,
and to the unveiling Of portrait of whiSkeys
Governor, would Of course, read about like
this:
Whereas. IL IS well 10 avoid the appearance of doing
anything calculated TO offend the rum power, and
Whereas, John H. Chrstman, OF this city, In face OF
the fact that whshcys Governors convention Is 10
be held hero In October, has gone work in cold blood
and invented patent bOttlc-stOpper, therefore
Resolved, That individually and collectively we are
keeny panied to think that Of Syracuse. instead
of focusing his energies a scheme looking the
easier and oftener opening of Syracuse bottles against
the meeting OF the Democratic convention should
shamelessly at this time OF all others patent bottle
stopper
Resolved, That opposed inequitable OPP
pressive legislation.
Resolved, That any sort OF slImptuary legislation
IS inequitable and oppressive.
Resolved, That copy OF these resolutions be sent
by registered letter 10 whiskey's Governor and to
every member Of his State Committee.
If something of this sort is not DONE and
done without delay, all the salt of Syracuse
cannot render that city savory in the eyes of
whiskey's Governor. He will rise up in his
wrath and take his convention towel, say to
Elmira. We believe that nobody in Elmira
has patented bottle-stopper this summer.

FARMERS md THE COTTON SUPPLY.

FARMERS .lND THE COTTON SUPPLY.
The Farmers Alliance of Southern states
at its meeting al Atlanta appears 70 nave ADOPT
ed one remarkable set OF resolutions, Which
are now made public by the Cotton Committee
Of that body and signed by members repre-
senting the organization i'll nine southern
States These resolutions recommend that the
farmers Of the South sell no cotton during the
month Of September, except what may De an
solutely necessary to meet Obligations winch
are past due" and provide for efforts to secure
unity of action in that particular Ill every
county throughout the cotton growing States
No one need be alarmed. The quantity Of cot
ton which will come to market, even under a
most rigid construction of this rule, will be
large enough to satisfy all the demands of in
dustI.y or Of commerce. At the end OF every
growing season almost every planter has past
due obligations of not ipconsiderable amount
and his contracts with those who have fur
nshed supplies usually require the sale Of
enough cotton, Immediately after the picking
to cover these Obligations But the practical
question here raised is decidedly less interest
ing than the question of public policy.
Are those farmers aware that they are try
ing to establish a trust or monopoly more far
reaching in it's influence than any OF those they
so frequently denounce? The very essence
Of the trust arrangement, in 50 far as II threat
ems the public interests, was well expressed in
the Antitrust Act recently passed by the
Legislature of Michigan, which made it an
offence to enter into any conspiracy to restrict
the production or sale, or to fix the price OF
any commodity. If the farmers of the cotton
States are going to attempt precisely the thing
which the least excusable OF the trusts at
temptS, would it not be well for them first to
consider whether their course, like that of those
trusts is not contrary to public policy?
IT cannot be all wrong for sugar or salt pro-
ducers to combine for the purpose Of dimting
sales and raising prices, but all right for cotton
producers TO combine for a precisely similar
purpose If the behavior Of the trust organ
izations is Justly condemned by the farmers in
almost every state, and by other good citizens,
as essentially contrary TO the public pros
penty, how can the contemplated course Of
Southern cotton producers be defended? There
must be some consistency in this matter The
citizen cannot afford TO lift up his voice in
passionate denunciaton Of others for doing
Just what he does himself Cotton happens 10

the intent Of the Georgia resolution could be
strictly carried out, the mills Of England and

Next, a Bread Trust-not in this country.
where some people imagine that protection
fosters trusts, but in free trade England. Sun
dry of the largest baking companies of London
have begun the organization Of a bread union,
and their avowed object is g to elfectualy stlle
the competition of unscrupulous traders who
may be bent upon reducing prices" 1t is in
order for ex-President Cleveland to explain
how this monstroSity, monopoly of the peo-
pies supply of bread can be even contemplate
ed in a country where no tariff exists on wheat
flour or bread in any form.
TO any man in his senses it should be evil
dent that schemes of this nature have been far
more numerous and more successful in Eng
land than in this country. That fact alone is
sufficient answer to the pretence that trusts
and mOnOpOlieS are fOStered by protective
duties. The Salt Union was formed without
any difficulty in England under free trade. and
has taxed the people 90 per cent, more or
less, On every pound of salt consumed. But
the attempt 10 form a similar trust TO control
the market in this country completely collapsed,
Notwithstanding British capital to the amount
of several millions was pledged to its support
No wonder the English capitalists were will
the salt trade of the United States. and to pay
roundly for the chance of taxing this country at
Their pleasure. The mistake they made was in
surprising that such monopoly could BIO eStab-
lished and maintained as easily under protec-
ton as under free trade. But the American
capitalists who looked into the matter. includ-
ing many Of those already engaged in salt pro-
ducuon, discovered serious difficulties, and in
the matter OF subscriptions were backward in
coming forward" They perceived that pro-
lection, if continued would induce hundreds
Of competitors to enter the field against them.
and that the temporary success of the trust
would only insure the abolition of any duties
aiding it.
English dispatches say that the Bread Trust
is likely to fail in London for lack OF public
support" That is an obvious error. These
schemes neither contemplate nor get publ.

The Philadelphia Press makes palpablc hit
at the expense Of Senator Barbour. The Sen
ator. in addressing the Virginia Democratic Con-
vcntiOn made this statement: The negroes
prefer TO combine their entire strength rule at
the polls and 10 cast their solid vote against the
great majority Of the whites. In this way the
color line is distinctly drawn by the minority
element etc. If this be so, The Press asks
how is it that the Democratic returning officers
in Virginia steadily report large Democratic laa-
iorites from number OF counties in which the
negroes are by FIR in the as endant The Southern
Democrats are always contending TINT one reason
for their majorities is that the negroes are be-
ginning TO vote their ticket Mr. Barbour has said
altogether too much.

support; what they seek and sometimes obtain
is the private support of capitalists who want
TO make more money and are not particular
about the method. If the Bread Trust fails in
London. it will be because the British investor
concludes that he cannot put money into 1T
with safety But who imagines that similar
undertaking could succeed in New-York What
sensible person supposes that it would be rem
dered more likely to succeed because OF pro-
lection? Nlonopoles in trade and mnufact-
rre have been more numerous and have at
tanned greater success in England than in any
country where Government makes it duty
