and brought before magistrates, thou,
Almighty Dollar, canst secure US

We feel there is no conditions in life
where thy potent and all-powerful
charms are Lot felt. n thy absence
how gloomy is the household, and how
dcsolate the bearthstone, but when
thou, 0 Almighty Dollar, art with US,
how gleefulliy the heaf-steak sings upon

the joy Of our youth and the solace Of
our old age; thou canSt adorn the
gentlemen and feed the philosopher and
the idea Of the lunkbead. When an
election is to be CARED, Oh Almighty
Dollar thou art tine most potent aigu-
ment Of politicians and demagogues,
and the umpire that decides the CON

NEW BALINC PROCESS.
The Cotton is Wound on Wooden Spool

The Bessonette process Of handling
cotton is just being introduced into the
cotton section of the country. By it the
cost of handling the commodity is greatly
reduced by doing away entirely with
several OF the many different processes of
COMPRISING, shipping and reshipping, all
OF which are absolutely necessary by the

TO this must be added loss from what
would have been increased summer
traffic and manufactured goods for the
coming season. The final showing will
easily be more than S100, 100000.
1t is probable that this is reasonable
estimate. Now, who foots the bill?
The raiload compaaies will get dam
ages from the cities whose mobs de-
stroyed their property, and these dam
ages will come out of the pockets of the
taxpayers. Then, the loss in wages
falls upon the strikers. When the
whole business is settled it will be
found that the big corporations have
suffered less than their employees and
third parties who had no interest in the
strike.

THE OLD METHOD.

Because of tho construction of the pres
ent cotton presses, the services of one or
two men are required constantly to put
the cotton in the box press after it has
been ginned. 1t is then compressed by
a crudely constructed device at the gin
ming plants, tied securely around the bale,
and what is known as the "farm BALE is
then ready to be shipped,
These farm bales are very large and
awkward to handle, being of such bulk
that only three can be hauled convenient
ly on two-horse wagon. In this shape it
is sold at the nearest market and placed
in some convenient cotton yard. 1t is
then assembled, classed and sent to the
nearest compress, where it is repressed
by powerful steam or hydraulic presses.
There is here constanting assembled dur.
ing the season from two to ten thousand
bales of cotton, and for this reason cotton
is often delayed for many weeks at the
compress in its origlal form waiting for
the second operation OF compression,
causing numerous vexations and necessi-
tating extra insurance, which is always
necessarily high.
Its second experience in the press puts
it to the required density for shipping
which is about 22l pounds to the cubic
feet.

A HEAVY BILL.
The Cost OF the Great Strike Runs into
Millions.

The direct and indirect losses caused
by the recent strike will perphaps ex-
ceed lO0,0O0,00O. The president of one
of the largest railway corporations in
the country is reported as saying:
The earnings of the railroad COM
panies of the western roads fell off in
two weeks an average of at least Is per
cent. The pay rolls that were stopped
will represent loss to employees of, let
US say, at least six times as much as that
suffered by the companies. Hundreds of
factories were obliged to close from lack
of coal or coke. The wages lost in
these were five times the amount lost
by the manufactures. The beef COM
panies lost hundreds of thousands and
California and other fruit crops were
either temporary or total losses.

THE NEW OPERATION.

BY the Bessonette method all of this
extra handling is done away with. AS
the cotton comes from the gin it is run in
to the Bessonette compress and placed on
a wooden core, around which it is rolled
under the pressure of two rollers. Each
fiber of cotton is thus subjected TO con-
slant and increasing pressure from the
large rollers, as it grows in size.
This press is designed to take the place
of the box press on the cotton farm. It
takes up less room. and as it is selt-feed-
ing, it dispenses with the service of the
men required to feed the press at the gin
plant. The Bessonette operation is final,
and when the bale has been through the
press it IS merely wrapped in bagging and
is ready for shipment. No metallic ties
are necessary. and the cost, as we'll as the
cost of adjusting them, is saved. The
bale contains thirty five pounds of cotton
to the cubic foot, instead of twenty-five
pounds, as by the old process, and being
eyGHdrieal in shape, is more easily han

Reform IN COTTON BALINe.

IEe necessity OF some STeaG reform II
american cotton baling is apparent. The
subject was recently touched upon in {
report by J. G. Monaghan, at Chemnitz
Saxony. He says:
The packing of American raw cotton
causes deal of anxiety and complaint
here. The jute. cloth covering is so torn
before the bales reach Chemnitz that the
cotton is exposed to mud, water, fire and
theft. OF the original six or eight iron
bands, two, three, four and sometimes
more are loose Or broken; the cotton
bulges out, takes up dirt and the dust
when in dry place, mud in the docks,
sea water wnen in the ships, and rain
water when on land, on wharves, OF in
transmission by boat, rail OF wagon. In
transport every gust of wind tears away
pieces of the valuable commodity. The
whar7es, Custom House floors and freight
cars are usually covered with pieces torn
or dropped from such bales, and the dan
ger from fire is great, for cotton ignites
easily, and sparks from cigars or locomo-
tives, famed by winds, even those caused
by the movement of a train or wagon,
could cause not only the burning of the
cotton, but of other valuable property.
Contrasted with the packing of Egyp-
tian and Indian cotton, the American
must be regarded as very bad. Both
Egyptian and Indian have closed, com.
pact, tough covering, are rather long and
smooth, leave little or none of the cotton
exposed, are easily and plainly marked,
and are wrapped close and the firms or
sellers name appears, and bo Ind strong
and tight. Along the side and both ends the
kind of cotton is indicated to aid in iden-
tifcation should one end be torn off in
handling, as sometimes happens. Thus,
in the case of Indian and Egyptian cotton
mixing of bales and bales without marks
seldom, if ever, occur; on the other hand,
with American cotton, both happen very
frequently-too frequently, hence the
complaint.
The Indian and Egyptian bales are so
tightly pressed,so well covered and bound, :,
that injury from fire, water, dirt, dust,
etc., is minimized. Take this table as to

apart one set is perforated, and in
each set one piece is much larger
