The United States Need Not
Wait for Other Nations.

Sam w. Small, editor, orator, lee
turer and revivalist, says:
1--WE have fair example of what
the gold standard will do for coun-
try in the present internal condition
of England. 1t has built up the fl
pancial classes, the banking classes,
and the aristocracy at the expense OF
the common people. A bill is now
pendingin parliment to pay a bounty
to the farmers of England in order to
enable them to live. l tell you sir,
when they have to pay bountles and
subsidies to the agricultural classes
there is something radically wrong.
Yet they must either do this or see
farming driven out of England.
They have ruined their farming class
es bv the gold standard. Now it is
only q question between giving their
people a bounty on what they pro-
duce or having them emigrate to
America, Land has become so high,
and the price of their products so low,
that it does not pay to farm it. The
wealthy classes are buying the land
up for parks and landed estates in
which their children can play.
''They tell us that the United
States can not maintain the double
standard against the world. Eng
land maintained the single gold
standard from 1916 to 1873 without
help from other nation, and finally
forced most of them to adopt it.
The United States is much better
able to force the bi-metallic standard
on the world to-day than England
was to force the gold standard epeci-
ally as all of them except England
want the double standard.
"They talk about the low prices
being caused by over-production, yet
it takes just as much per capita to
feed the people as it ever did, and
the population has enormously in
creased.
''They point to lack of confidence
as the cause of the hard times. What
do you think of man to whom you
owed 500 coming to you with such
a story as this: John, you owe me
800. I've lost confidence in you; |
want my money. y
"'Well, what are you going to do
about it? you would say.
Suppose you should reply: Why
in order to restore confidence, | will
just lend you $1,000 more and take
your note at 4 per cent. for fifty
years That's exactly what they
did while they were bowling about
lack of confidence in Uncle Sam.
Went to work and sold $3.50, 100000
worth of bonds on his credit. That
didn't look like want of confidence,
did it? tell you it was not want
of confidence that allied the money
power. 1t was bonds. They cared
nothing about restoring confidence.
They wanted bonds. The are hold
ing Cleveland off now for fear of the
effect upon the election. AS soon as
the election is past they will simply
get together and force another is
sue of $2OO,O00,000 of bonds. Mark
my words"
Mr.. Small does not find the out
look cheerful for the next few
months. "You will see harder times
between now and November than
you ever saw in your life" he said.
"Capital will not employ labor.
There will be no speculative invest
medts, no new enterprises, no en-
ployment for hundreds of working
men, who consequently will not be
able to buy and consume these enor-
nous crops"

Cotton Letter.


 New York, June 10-(Special )-This was a field day in the cotton market. In the forenoon prices ruled steady to firm at figures slightly higher than yesterdays closing quotations. The prevailing feeling was bullish, but the splendid showing of the bureau report changed all this in a twinkling. condition of over 97 per cent, with a further increase in the estimated acreage was altogether too much for the bulls, who had been hoping against hope for a substantial recovery. Prices dropped 10 points in a moment and for a time the market was exceedingly weak. August, which had opened at 7.26 and afterwards ad- vanced to 7.32 sold down to 7.0S October to 6.57 and December to 657 During the after noon there were several rallies, but in every instance there was more selling at the ad- vance. August closed at z13d714 with the tone steady and although the crop outlook is just now a very promising one, it must be remembered that July and August are the crucial months and only an optimist could expect a season without a setback. While 1t seems likely that prices ultimately May go materially lower we would rather buy cotton than sell it. At the opening tomor- row we expect some reaction and, perhaps, a sharp one, and would advise our friends who have sold cotton to take the profits

 Today's features: Overshadowing every thing else was the bureau report It was the best published since 1880. when the con- dtion was 90. Today's condition is 97.2. The increase in the acreage Is given at 16h per cent. Both the condition and the acreage shipped" the generality of operators The guesses on the floor before the report was received were wide of the mark. None of them went over 92 and the average was 90. Based on today's figures MT.
