The Cotton Convention.

There being an apparent differcnce Of
opinion as to Che position taken by the
cotton planters on what is spoken of as
''overproduction, the following resolu-
tons. adopted at the Memphis convcn-
ton held during the second week in
January. are submitted:
We recommend that this convention do pro-
coed to organize II permanent organization. to
be known rs the Cotton Growers and Mer-
chants asSociat ION"
We recommend that said organization shall
consist of one president and treasurer and one
vice president from each of the cotton growing
states.
We recommend that there be local organiza-
tons of the said Cotton Growers and Mer-
chants association organized in every state.
county and town in the cotton growing region,
and that the said local organization shall
where possible and practicable cooperate
with any farmers organization now in exist
ence.
We recommend that reduction in the
acreage plant-I in cotton for the year iS92 be
20 per cent. less than that planted in 1891.
We further recommend that each and every
farmer or planter within the said cotton grow
ing states do plant more diversified crops, and
especially take extraordinary precautions to
the end that he SHALL produce an abundance Of
corn. meat, hay, peas. oats and other neces-
saries for his own and his family's supplies.
And we here appeal, personally and individu-
ally, that each and every person favoring his
movement do lend his aid and influence to
further this end.
In view of the fact that the mercantile n-
terests of the south are largely held respon-
sible. whether rightly or not, for the planting
OF cotton ver..Ing upon the exclusion of other
products. ii is therefore suggested and hope
fully urged upon them 10 contribute BY their
advice and other substantial ways TO the bring
ing about of this coveted reform in our farm
ing ethods.
We recommend that each member and dele
gate to this convention use their united and in
dividual efforts To carry into effect these reso-
lutions, and that they urge their people at
home to assist for the general good the carry
Ing out of the spirit and purpose of the same.

Away with the Gamblers.

Gambling III options is great injury
to tile producers. | believe there are
1000. 600 fictitious bushels of wheat sold
to every bushel Of actual wheat This
creates an unsettled condition of the
markets. and it increases the margin
between the shipping point and the con
sumption market at the expense OF the
farmer. Do away with options and
wheat will become a stable commodity
and confidence will be restored and these
margins cut down. George Geissel

A millionaire Farmer.

The expression. "a millionaire farmer"
sounds like Il contradiction in terms, and
until yesterday one might have been par
doned for doubling the existence of any
one answering to that description. 1t
appears. however, there was one. and
only one, in Indiana, and the announce
ment of his death which comes to MS By
telegraph is the first and only news we
have of him.
How any farmer III Indiana or else
where in this country could survive the
legislation since the war and remain a
millionaire is a problem He was prob
ably the only one in the country. and
possibly the last one that the country
will see The various trusts and tariff
monopolies, the transportation combina-
tions and allied interests have very ef
fectually guarded the country against
any such danger as the formation of III

aire farmers. New York World

Reports OF the recent state convention
of the Farmers Alliance. held IN Lin
coin, say it was the largest gathering Of
the kind ever held in the state and was
marked by unusual enthusiasm. IF
this is any criterion one can safely pre-
dict that the Alliance will be IA big fish
in the political pool the coming CAM
paign, and that the Republicans will
hardly know what hit them before it is
over.

THE REAL TROUBLE.
It Is Not Overproduction. but UUua
Laws That injure the Farmer.

LAWS AHSt AtDNio thC NEE
It is IN easy matter. us The Constitu
ton pointed out the other day. to say
that tie low price Of cotton and other
farm products is the result of overpro-
ductioR and to suggest the obvious rem
edy Of less production. Take the single
product of cotton The low price which
the staple is now bringing is said to he
the result OF overproduction and the
remedy for it consists in producing few
er bales. The farmers themselves seem
to think that something of this sort is at
the bottom of the trouble and some of
them are trying to devise plan where
by the next crop may be cut down.
But is overproduction at the bottom of
the trouble? If it is, how is it that the
price of cotton goods has not declined in
sympathy with the price Of cotton: Ac
cording to Mr.. Ellison, the great cotton
authority of Europe. the crop Of 1901
was not much in excess of the worlds
demands. The increase Of spindles for
consumption has more than kept pace
with the increased production of the
staple. This fact shows that the surplus
product is not sufficient to account for
the low prce-the lowest in many years
Is it not reasonable to suppose that the
low price is one of the many results of
that condition of affairs which the peo-
pie of the country are seeking to amend
when they demand financial reform and
relief? Can there be any such thing as
overproduction of cotton when there are
thousands of people in this country. to
say nothing of Europe. who cannot af
ford to buy shirt? Does not the trouble
arise from the stagnation and conges-
ton of the currency under our unjust
laws, which prevents the enterprise Of
the country from utilizing the energy OF
labor that is now going to waste? 1t Is
the shibboletb OF superficial thinkers
that the government cannot put more
money in peoples pockets.
Yet. if the government is to have
charge OF the currency, it owes it to the
people to so regulate matters that few
capitalists of favored sections will not
have control of the money of the coun.
try. There can be no genuine prosperity
in any country where labor is going to
waste for lack of funds to utilize it. To
give the business of the country the adj.
vantage of sufficient supply of cur
rency is to utilize in all sorts Of new
enterprises the labor that would other.
wise go to waste: to utilize labor is to
put money in peoples pockets and in
crease the wealth of the country.
The remedy suggested to the farmers
has no greater promise In it than the
condition which has brought about low
prices. They are advised to cut short
their cotton crop. To do this they will
either have to stop work or divert their
labor into Improbable channels. In
other words, the situation is more serV-
Gus than it seems to be to thuse who are
so ready with their offhand remedies

The Next Senate Democratic
o. PicayHne. Nov. II.

a. w. fttfy itif, nov. H.
The United Stvtes Senate has not had
a Democratic majority for thirty years.
In all the political changes that have
taken place since the civil war, the Sen
ate has remained in possession Of the
Republicans. The end of this DONNA
ton appears now to be near.
There will be vacant on the fourth of
March 1898, senatorial seats to the num-
Der of twenty-five. These seats are all
involved in the late general election.
The Democrats will hold all they had
and will without donbt gain senators
from California, Montana, New York,
Wisconsin and Wyoming. The popu-
lists gain from the Republicans seats
from Kansas and Nebraska. The next
Senate should stand: Democrats, A {:
Republicans, DO; Populists, T. The
terms OF y Senators expire on the ID of
March, 1894, and there is every reason
to believe that the Democrats will make
further gains. But unless the Popuists
should mako common cause with tho
Republicans i'll The Fifty third Senate,
the Democrats will have control, but
even II the populisis combine with the
Republicans Oh all questions there
would DO tie vote, which tho Demo
cratic Vice President would decide. At
any rate there is every reason to believe
that the Democrats will hold sway in
the next Senate, and it SO they will for
the first time III q generation con troll all
departments OF the Government.
