THE CANDIDATE AND HIS Way

rom The New Orleans Pcayune.
Judge II. r. Fielding, who died recently nea
, Mississippi In 1881 Judge Fielding. under tn
.pton Of aThe candidate" wrote the fo9 ',, 2
lad with interest in Mississippi at this time
"Father, what travels this road so late?'
Hush, my child. It's the candidate;
Fit example Of human woes
Early he comes and late he goes;
He greets the women with courty grace
He Kisses the babys dirty face,
He calls to the fence the farmer at work.
He bores the merchant. he bores the clerk.
The blacksmith while the anvil rings,
He gree;s. and this is the song he sings:
'Howdy. howdy howdy do?
How Is your wife. and how are you?
All ii fits my fist as no other can,
The horny hand of the working man..
Husband, who is that al the gate?''
Hush my love. it's the candidate;
Husband. why can't he work like you?
Has he nothing at home to do?
My dear, whenever a man Is down.
No cash at home. no money in town,
Too stupid 70 preach. too proud 70 beg
And to the dear people this song he sings:
"Howdy. howdy, howdy do?
How Is your wife, and how are you?
An IL fits my fist as no other can.
The horny hand OF the working man."
Brothers who labor early and late,
Ask these things of the candidates:
What's his record? How does he stand
At home? No matter about his hand.
BE ii hard or soft. 50 1t is not prone
To close over money not his own.
Has he IN view no thieving plan?
Is he honest and capable he Is our man;
Cheer such one till the welkin rings,
Join in the chorus when thus he sings:
"Howdy howdy, howdy do?
How IL your wife. and how you? q,
All, II fits my fist as no other can.
The horny hand OF the working man"

INCREASING PROTECTION or COTTON.
From The Baltimore News.

From The baltimore News.
The Government has just issued a report review
ing the production and price OF cotton covering. a
period OF 100 years. According to the report, 6he
production OF cotton has increased from 1856 bales
In 1873 TO the enormous total OF 9476 435 In lS9-95
The Increase was gradual the 100000 mark not
having been reached until 1890 After that year
more attention was devoted TO the cultivation OF
the feecy staple and by 1860 the crop amounted
10 i.e6l.2H bales. IL was about that year that the
staple received the name OF king Cotton" The
value Of the crop In 1860 SEQ 100000
During the Civil War very little cotton was raised
and not until 1865 did Southern planters resume its
cultivation on anything like extensive scale and
the crop that year amounted to only 300 900 bales
but the price-S33s cents a pound-was the highest
ever known by $50 the crop had Increased to
cents a pound. Since that year production has
steadily Increased. and the price steadily decreased
The enormous crop OF last year forced the price
down to average of 626 cents. This is not the
low-price record, however. In 1910 cotton sold at
an average OF sSa cents a pound After that year
low level OF sos cents. the lowest average value
ruling for a whole year that has ever been known
Another Interesting fact developed by the Gov
ernments researches Is that free labor has been
more satisfactory and profitable than slave labor
