WHY GOTTEN FELL.


Now let us look for a moment at the true
reason for the fall in the price of cotton
That is something that a very large and a
very valuable portion of our country is in
terested in Cotton has fallen enormously.
In 1860 we produced little less than FIVE
million bales of cotton in this country, and
we supplied nearly the whole world with
it. We kept at about the same production
until 1879. when 1t gradually began to in
crease until in 1895 we produced in this
country alone nearly ten million bales of
cotton; product had doubled. Now at
all times little more than two-thirds of our
crop of cotton goes abroad; we consume less
than one-third of it ourselves. 1t met In
competition; we competed with ourselves
by doubling output of cotton, and we
met also more than doubled increase of
the output of cotton by East India and
Egypt, for their output more than doubled
between 1860 and 1895. There is in that fact
simple and an all-suffcient reason for the
fall in prices of cotton, and 1T is the reason
The people of the world will pay what they
must for article they want but they will
not consume an enormous excess except at
enormously reduced price:
The fall in the price of wool bore no re-
lation at all to the fall in the price Of sill
YER It was not gradual fall but it came
all at once The great drop came when i'm
port duty was cut in two. 1t cut from
80 to Is per cent. And the farmers Of this
country raising wool had to compete with
S2S O00, 600 worth of foreign wool suddenly
brought into this market, more in the first
year of the Wilson law than under the last
year of the Mckinley law There is a sufi-
Gent reason for the fall in the price of
wool. (Applause.)
Let US consider briefly another important
agricultural product or what was once i'm
portant. 1 refer to common horses. We
all know that the price of common horses
has fallen to such low point that they can
hardly be said to be worth raising for the
market. The market value, salable value of
common horses in this country, such as am
referring to, was mostly on account of their
use for drawing horse cars in cities and in
towns. Horse cars have been displaced al
most entirely by cable lines, and more par
ticularly by trolley lines. / have without
great difhculty obtained what believe to be
almost accurate figures relating to this bust
ness, showing what the change has been in
consequence Of this. change of propulsion
There were. before the Introduction Of cable
lines and trolley lines. used for horse cars

7OR THE SEASHORE.
NEEDS HIS HEAD BORED.

To tha Editor of the Register.
"Ths Democratic platform denounces the
issuance of bonds in times Of peace, and
the Democratic party is the only party
that has ever been guilty CT such a thing.
Great heads those Bourbons have"
The man who wrote the above. as well as
the World, which garbled it. should have
a hole bored in the top Of his Uranium,
and filled in with vegetables what he lacks
in brains.
There are too many men to-day trying
to run little one-horse papers who have no
respect whatever for truth. and who are
too ignorant to pound sand with boot leg.
We are astonished TO think that any
newspaper would have in their employ
even an office boy or devil" who is 50
ignorant as to assert that the Democratic
party is the only party who ever issued
bonds in time of peace. But from the fact
that the above comes from the Weston
World which but a short time ago was an
advocate of free silver and which claims
to he Republican. IS sufficient evidence
that it knows but little. either Of politics
or finance What party issued bonds from
1861 to 1891?

THE SUPREME COURT.
a Word About the Criticisms Now Being
INDUCED in Against 1t.
To the Editor Of the Register.

INDUCED in Against It,
To the Editor OF the Register.
BRIDGEPORT, o., July al merely
wish 20 say, in answer to the criticism that
is going on among Republicans against the
mild utterances by the Democratic con-
vention about the Supreme Court dec's.on
on the income tax, and this seems 10 be
;he cause OF such epithets as Anarchist
revoluuOnist, etc. that the criticism OF
that convention does not campare 10 what
the same court was subjected 10 after the
Dr5d Scott decision, and BY people who
are now, together with their descendants,
holding il up as such a sacred institution.
An institution can be indispensable and
fulfil the needs Of a people without wrap
ping Il in the cloak Of infaNibity.
Every institution Of our free country
executive, legislative and judicial, are
structures Of the people, the people We're
the Anarchists who paced them, the work
men who bu.lded them; il is they who
choose tenants for them, and who can
justly question the peoples right and duty
to criticise when anything emanates from
any Of these institutions that would APP
pear TO be wrong?
no custom too old, no institution too per-
feet. once you erect a power in your
midst and resign yourselves 10 the abso-
Lutte belief that the Will Of that power Is
right at all times. then you have created
a perpetual tyranny.
Courts are composed Of men who are i'm
perfect like the masses from whom they
are selected. and being imperfect. are apt
TO give way. though perhaps rarely, to
considerations that may lead them 10 an
improper decision. and the people are false
TO themselves and TO their posterity If they
go not register their protest, not against
the court as an institution. bur against its
unjust decisions. These protests are for its
discipline and IS the only method Of keep
ing il as near as il is possible within the
bounds Of impartial duty
Men VINO pause TO think will take no
oTerse at the unmerited abuse intended
for them, but will remain serene in the
ezlf-consciousness of their own patriotism.
The man who cries stop thief" IS the most
likely TO be the thief; the men who cry An
archist and revOiutionist would be the first
10 compose that real throng if the pretext
happened TO be on the same side with their
prejudices. I. 5.

News from points throughout the
State indicate that there will be an i'm
mense attendance 10 the Democratic
State Convention, which will be called
10 order on the morning Of August 18th.
at Wheeling Park Casino. The fact
THAT most of the railroads in the State
have made a rate OF one fare for the
round trip, while none of the rates viii
be higher than one fare and a third,
will do much 10 secure a tremendous
attendance, and full representations
from every county are looked for.
An additional fact thai should have
the effect of drawing people 70 this
city during convention week 5 that the
trip will be almost wholly in the ma
ture OF a pleasure excursion. The
Convention will meet in a magnificent
building. three and half miles from
the city, and yet as easy Of access as if
it were within the limits Of the town,
and this building is situated in park
than which there is none more inviting
in the country. At this park every
convenience may be had, meals will be
served continuously, thus obyiating
return trip to the city for those who
have no especial call thither during
the day. There are abundant conven-
fences for committee meeting and
work, refreshments of all kinds are al
ways TO be had, and should a night
session be necessary. both buildings
and grounds are brilliantly lighted
with electricity. Delegates and others
from the interior counties should en-
brace this opportunity 10 see Wheeling
and revel in the delights OF the park.
While also watching the deliberations
of the representatives OF the party OF
the people, and a hearty welcome and
the assurance Of a good time are ex-
tended TO all.
