Want Our stuns Cheap.

Raw cotton has advanced sharply in
price. This is not helping us to capture
the markets of the world, however. Dur
ing the first three months of this fiscal
year we shipped abroad almost 100,-
900, 900 pounds less cotton than in the
corresponding months of July, August
and September, 1894. The actual money
loss in this trade for the three months
was $685. 900. The markets Of the
world don't want costly cotton. They
want cheap cotton-cheap everything.
To capture them we must become a
cheap country, with cheap prices for
farm products and with cheap wages.

Mayor Pingree.
DETROIT, Nov. 25-Tom l.. johnson of
Cleveland, president of the Detroit Citi-
zens' Street Railway company, put
straight 5 cent fares into effect, with the
exception of ''workingmen's" tickets
night and morning. The action was in
pursuance of threat made by President
johnson to Mayor Pingree to the effect
that if the city government persisted in
refusing to meet the company part way in
the matter of extending the companys
franchises that both tho universal trans
fer system and the six for a uarter tickets
would be abolished. This declaration has
now been made good in both respects.
Mr.. Johnson, however, was willing to
meet the city in the matter of further re-
duction of fares, probably seven for
quarter, provided the city extended the
company's franchises, most of which will
lapse within fourteen years. Mayor Pin
gree insists upon nothing short of eight
tickets for quarter, day and night.
