l might truthfully say to the farth-
est known confines of civilization.
But the greatest discovery in cotton
seed oil was in 1885. when the N. X.
Fairbank company placed upon the
market their new food product, cot
tolene, which is veritable cooking
fat prepared exclusively from cot.
ton seed oil and beef suet cottO-
lene receiving the highest and most
favorable medical and hygienic tes-
imony, was largely sought after by
bakers, hotel keepers and restaur-
ants Of the DelmOnic0 order. It's
purity has received universal praise
and i is rapidly taking the place Of
hog lard.
Why should it not displace hog
lard ? We are simply finding out
what Gods chosen people were told
1000 years ago. Ny friend, Judge
Clark and myself are biblical schol-
ars, and when we take down our
Bibles we find that the great law
giver, after he had received the ten
commandments from the hands OF
Almighty God himself, amidst the
thunders and lightnings OF Mount
sinai, enacted a statute and set his
seal of condemnation on the hog.
| (Laughter.) And we further find
that the only destructive act COM
mitted by the Savior of the world,
from the manger in Bethlehem to
Calvary's Cross, was to run a herd
Of swine into the sea.
Was the statute enacted by Moses
a wise one? Why, venture to say
that Moses himself, with all his wis
dem, and as a lawgiver he has yet
to be surpassed, never knew the
meaning OF the word dyspepsia.
"And the swine of their flesh shall
ye not eat" reads the statute. This
historian tells us that when Moses
was led up NebO's lonely mountain,
to die on the bosom Of his God,
that, though he was 100 years old,
his eye was not dimmed nor his nat
ural force abated. Why, my cOun-
trymen. the Hebrew race, The world
over, from Moses to Sam Sanger,
your own Sam, your own illustri-
GUS townsman, have been a healthy
race. II would not be surprising If
the future historian would not find
Sam here in rs or 100 years from
now, still discoursing on the great
ness Of Waco and the country trib-
utary to her.
Now, one word as 10 these great
cotton oil trusts, concerning which
there is 50 much apprehension in
the minds of the people. How can
the price Of cotton seed be increased
is question that concerns every
man, woman and child south OF Ma
son and Dixon's line. Before dis
cuss tho trust and give you what, in
my opinion, is q cure for existing
evils, / want TO say one thing in be-
half of one OF them. There is one
Of them that in the past two years,
on $4,000, 900 capital, has not de-
clared single dividend. At the
same time it has earned over S1,-
100000. Where did this money 60 ?
The stockholders complain and say
that they have not received any Of
il. / will tell you. II was spent
i'm seed houses and scales, in new
warehouses, in enlargIng old ware
houses, in gin building, and in new
machinery, in lumber and in iron,
and in labor, and the south got it
all, and in this / rejoice. But now
as to the remedy, and how 10 get
rid OF the trust.
/ told you awhile ago that the
great sale Of cotlOlene by the N. X.
Fairbank company, how that 40
100000 pounds were sold IN one
wear. l told you Of the greal sale
Of lard compound, Of the great sale
of the Gold Dust washing powder,
and Of the great sale Of 70, 600, 900
pounds of soap, all the products o.
cotton seed oil, but one thing l DID
not tell you, and that was that near
" all OF this product was solo IN
he north and not in the south. ln
Holland. France, the Netherlands,
and not the south. In England, Ion
The Continent, in the isles OF the
ocean, and not in the south. Veri-
". verify. cottolene and the cotton
iii products can exclaim that
anranbet is not without honor save
ii his own country" If the south
would consume as much cotlolene, /
"a much lard compound, as much oi
their own products, as the north,
these combines would disappear ~
twenty-iour hours, and the SEED
would bring s25 ton.
Where would the plants OF these
great cottolene factories be located /
Where should they be located
Where are the plants Of the dressed
beef industry located 2 In Boston,
New YORK or Philadelphia Most
assuredly no, but they are located
IN the heart OF the cattle region, ~
Chicago. in ST. Louis, in Kansas
civ and in Omaha and Fort Worth.
Where should cottolene be manu-
factured ? In the cold, unlnvillng
and unacceptable city OF Chicago'
