are many printed pages OF argu-
ment IN favor of the rehabilitation

o! falling prices by the opposition
OF gold. The committee also finds
thnt the importation of gold from
Europe other than by tho regular
commercial methods tends to de-
press the price of cotton as it lessons
the amount of money in the market
which fixes the price of cotton.

Ion devoted to remedial legislation.
The conclusions reached by Mr..
George, chairman, are non con-
Cured in by his Republican asso-
ciates. His great remedy is the re-.
monetlzation OF silver, but he ad
mlts there Is no immediate prospect
Tor Its realization. Other remedies

peal OF the duty on cotton manufac.

nlng machinery, the accomplish

unlikely. After viewing all sides of
the question the report says that it
Will be found impossible to forecast
with certainty the future in all
phases of the cotton problem, but it
seems that the following may be re
lied on with some contidence:
First. Considering soil and clim
ate, Industry and skill of the people,
the American cotton raiser haa the
advantage over oil others, and in
the Sharp competition in the future
he will be the most successful.
Second, That as the old high
prices are not to be expected, the
American cotton raisers may so gen
orally diversity their crops with
others suited TO the soil aud climate
az to supply most of their want,
and to that extent secure to them
selves immunity from the evils of
low prices.
Third. Such diversifcation would
lend to the prosperity of farmers III
that 1t Will facilitate the change alb
solutely necessary from the eXpen-
sive system of credit whereby sup.
plies purchased will be cheaper and
the pressure coming from debt to
sell on low market will be lessened.
Fourth. That if general prices
shall continue low after the
change to low prices, shall be come
permanet. and after the distress
coming from falling prices shall in
a measure pass away, those who
have escaped ruin or who shall be
relieved by settlement of their old
debts, may adjust themselves to
those conditions and havo new
prosperity.
