MISUNDERSTANDING THE SITUATION.

The fact that cotton has been going down
In price since the election ard is now
lower than 1t was year ago. has worried
the Mckinley and prosperity" apoloris,s
no little. and their explanations are as
varied as they are Inaccurate.
Some OF these Apologies 20 so far as to
declare that the Southern planters have
lied about the extent OF the crop. Others
claim that the war scares" have been
keeping down the price Still others de-
clare that the expressed determination OF
the democrats 10 keep up the silver fight"
has prevented return OF prosperity"
These explanations are all wide OF tho
mark. The weekly statistics show very
clearly where the trouble lies The foreign
takings are actually more than a million
bales In excess OF the exports for the cor
responding period last year. No war
scare" there. Foreigners are more than
doing their part OF the trading. But how
about the home demand? We have been
told that mills have started M since the.
election that have been doing nothing for
. year or more. Is this fact? The homo
takings of cotton DO not even show as good
demand as last year The figures are
actually lower than Tor the first four
months OF the last cotton season
There, then. is the chief scat Of tho
trouhle-at home. II new mills were run
ming aud any prosperity" returning nat
urally the home demand would show an iu-
crease. As 1t is the foreign demand has
alone kept up the price even to tho present
figure.
Tho mill owners know fun we'll tia there
can be no change in our currency sys-
TEN for four years but they are taking
less cotton than last year. Instead Of
branching out they are curtailing their
product. Why? Because there IL no inn |

THE LOUD nILL.

An effort is being made in congress
through the Loud bill to restrict the vol
umo of what Is now clGSsed as second class
of such trash. consisting OF serial stories.
NOVELTIES. handbills and cheap literature
generally from tho mails.
The cost of the transmission OF such mat
ter through the mails over and above the
receipts OF postage from it, Is said to have
averaged nearly $4,000. 900 annually. The
author Of the Loud bill claims that the
passage of his measure would wine ont
the postoffcc deficit and give surpus
of $4,000 ooo-whch would IN turn wipe OF,
more than third OF the National deficit.
Here is chance for patriots and economists
In congress TO do some effective work. The
reasons for the Loud bill are suocinetlv
