The Cotton Tie combination.

Commissioner of Agriculture Nesbitt
says that the manufacturers OF cotton ties
have formed a great combination and put
up the price of ties fully one hundred per
cent. He proposes that war be declared on
the combination at once, and announces
his intention to take an active part in the
war The war should be a vigorous one,
and carried on until a substantial victory
is won.
The commissioner says he knows OF no
reason why the price of cotton ties should
be advanced at this time. Neither the price
of iron nor of labor has advanced. That
being true there is absolutely no excuse
for an advance in the price of cotton ties.
According to the statement of Commits
sioner Nesbitt the advance is an enormous
manufacturers to make extraordinary
profits out of the cotton planters, simply
because they think they have the power
to do so.
The price was not advanced until the
cotton season was about to open. But is
it too late to import cotton ties? The duty
is 80 per cent of the value of them. That
duty could be paid, together with the
freight, and the ties could still be sold at
much less than what it is alleged. the
price fixed by the combination is.
There ought not to be any duty on cot
ton ties. AS long as there is the cotton tie
manufacturers in this country will form
combinations by which they can make the
cotton planters pay almost any price they
please for cotton ties.
With such an object lesson as this effort
of the cotton tie manufacturers to get
unfair prices for the product OF their mills.
it is not 10 be wondered at that sound
money democrats not only of the south,
but of the whole country, hesitate to vote
for Mckinley. They know that high pro-
tective tariff such as the republicans de
mand, means combinations and trusts for
robbing the people. There is no good reason
why cotton ties cannot be manufactured
as cheaply in this country as in England.
Iron is cheaper here and labor is a little
dearer But the fact that iron is cheaper,
together with the cost of transportation
from England, ought to make up for the
difference in labor. One thing is certain
Ii is that the cotton planters cannot stand
the extortions Of cotton tie manufacturers
when the price Of cotton is as low as it Is
now.

Bryan Has Made no Pledges.

he did make such promise reasoned
probably that the Illinois delegation would
not have supported Mr.. Bryan unless he
had made such a promise.
But it will be remembered that the Illi-
nois delegation did not rush to Mr.. Bryan
on the first ballot-in fact did not support
him at all until 1t became evident that
he was the choice Of the convention.
That ought to be accepted as satisfactory
evidence that Mr.. Bryan made no pledges

cation. But If there are any who do not
think that evidence is conclusive they can
not help admitting that Mr.. Bryan's denial
is conclusive.

did not make any combinations in order
to get the nomination. The speech he
made in the convention gave it to him.

CocIrnn's Plan.

It is rather remarkable that Hon.
Bourke Cochran. who said in the Chicago
convention of 1892. that Mr.. Cleveland was
the most popular man in the country every
day in the year, except election day, and
who used his utmost efforts to prevent that
convention from nominating Mr.. Cleve-
land, should now be in harmony with him
with regard to maintaining the existing
gold standard.
Mr.. Cochran, who has just returned from
Europe, expresses surprise that the Tam
many executive committee should have
Endorsed Bryan ana Sewall. after having
taken such strong ground against the
platform and ticket at Chicago. He Is one
of the big men OF Tammany himself, but
from what he says in his interview he is
going to support Mckinley. He thinks the
present political situation is the most Sc
rious in the history of the country. He
calls the free silver movement "a conspir-
acy against wages" and his plan to de-
feat it is for sound money democrats to
get together make another democratic
platform, and then support Mckinley.
New York democrats have a good many
counsellors The chances are that where
there is so much talk there will be little
action. and that by the time election day
comes the bulk of the democrats will be
found supporting the regular democratic
ticket.

We look before and after
And pine for what is not
Through the dark and haunted shadow
Winds the pathway faint and gray,
And, across the whispering meadow
Where the grass stands UP for hay,
Through the haze of Powered grasses
Many a wavering moonbeam passes
Like a dream Of day.
Through the noontide, golden, glowing,
Winds the pathway dusty white,
Roses through the hedge are throwing
Thorny wreaths of pink and white,
And the forest shadows eerie
Soothe sad eyes too soon sun-weary
Like a dream of night
Dreams of night, when noon is burning
Dreams Of day, when night is black!
Dreams of death when Life is turning
The memorable rack,
Even in Death-ah, no. Death only grants
lodging, dreamless. honesty
Whence we look not back.
