Why Cotton Has Not Advanced.

savannah News.
In an article upon the subject
IN the current number of Textile
America, Col. Alfred B. Shopper
son, of New York, the cotton ex-
pert, undertakes to explain why
cotton has not advanced. The
reason for the decline from july
September prices, he says, was the
fuo6 t1IaU tie higher prices which
obtained during and between these
months was purely speculative,
and on many occasions the quota
tons were merely nominal. Mean
time, cotton cloths were selling
at D GIG cents per pound, being
the lowest for SO years. It has
been found impossible to force the
price of manufactured goods up to
a parity with cotton at s cents per
pound, hence the manufacturers
have notgone into the market for
more than Immediately necessary
supplies. In some instances, in
deed, the mills have closed down.
and others have been working on
short hours, for the very reason
that raw cotton was relatively too
high for the manufactured pro-
ducts.
Col. Shepperson concludes, how
ever, that prices have now reached
q level at which manufacturers
can buy at a profit, hence he looks
for more purchases by them. He
is also of the opinion, from South
ern advices received by him, that
the crop will be much short of the
former estimates by experts, and
that the manufacturers who 90 in
to the market now will get their
stocks about as cheap as they can
be had this season. Should an
early frost come along the price
would go up "by leaps and
bounds" Col. shepperson says,
and the manufacturers would be
left out in the cold. He does not
look for lower prices. 'Those
who entertain the idea that prices
will fall to the figures of 1894 49,
he says, care hugging vain delu-
sion. The conditions are essen
TALLY different, and 1 never again
expect to see middling cotton sell |
IN New York for 5 GIG cents |
which was the price in November
1894. If this view of the situa-
ton IS correct, it is to be expected
that there will shortly be an up-
ward turn in the market. It is toI
be hoped that such will be the
case.

Fusion or Co-Operatiol.

Fusion or Co-ODeration.
Ashcvil!e Citizen.
We can drive out the present
goldbug fusionists and recover the
State for clean and honest govern
ment by ''co-operation" hetweer
the Democrats and Populists. The
only question for patriots Is as to
= the particular form in which this
"co-operation" may be effected
None but a traitor to his State
would oppose such cooperation
Fayetteville Observer.
We fear that, under this pro-
gramme, there are II number of
traitors in this part of North Car
DINA. We believe that nothing
like fusion or corporation is de-
sired by the Democrats of Western
North Carolina with Populists
anywhere. If we are wrong in this
our columns are open for more
accurate statement of the situa-
ton. The Citizens position, and
that of Democrats generally, so
fur as they have expressed them
selves within our hearing on this
subject, Is for straight fight ''for
clean and honest government" for
the sake of the good of the State
rs well as for the good of the DEM
ocratic party.
What feature of the share of the
Populists is so attractive to the
Observer that it wishes co-opera-
ton? They have made possible
negro rule in some of the eastern
counties, and for that must be
held responsible equally with the
Republicans. The administration
of the States affairs has been low
cred by the Populists as we'll as by
the Republicans.
We refer to the Populist lead
ears, OF course, and they are. the
ones with whom any cooperation
would have to be arranged-But-
Ter, Aver ct al. There is no way
by which fusion can be arranged
with the Populists that does not
provide for recognition of the
present leaders of the Populists.
As to them we are frank to say
that our use for them is limited.
They cumber the political earth
unnecessarily.
If after the record the fusionists
of the last campaign have made
with their management of the
States affairs the Democrats can
not win on their own record for
honest and economical admins
trations of the government of
North Carolina; and cannot win
ON a platform of straight Demo-
eracy, then they cannot win by
drawing weakness from the Popu-
lists wing of the present combi-
nation. If it is "goldbug fusion
lists" who are in power how can it
De UecomIng III the democratic
party to combine with any wing
of those fusionists?
Speaking for ourselves, we
should prefer to enter State cam
paign with the gold Democrats
of North Carolina in our ranks
than with the Populists; rather
with the Charlotte Observer than
with the Caucasian. At least we
know where the former are now
and where they will stand in the
future. The same cannot be said
of the Populists as at present led.
No man on earth can foresee what
they will demand" in their next
platform. Precisely what they
wish beside the offices it is impos-
sible to learn. Once nothing but
the sub-treasury would satisfy
them; now they never refer to it.
Cooperation with the leaders of
the Populists would mean hiring
political Hessians with promise
of offices.
