that an English nobleman of such wealth

The Baron Finally Won.

A real, genuine, outright baron, in whose
veins flowed some of the bluest blood of
Europe, struck Washington something
like two months ago, carrying under his
arm huge bundle of official documents
from courts, newspapers, and recommen-
dations galore, says the Washington Post.
By peculiar condition in his mothers will
this blue-blooded gentleman was forced to
labor for a living, and, worse than all, he
must be a policeman, or else the large
amount of money held by the courts could
never be spent by his willing hands, but
would be turned over to some charity
scheme, such as a home for aged and dis
abled tomcats, or something of the sort.
The baron saw reporter, told him his sad
and narrowing tale, and remarked, Il be
appointed on the capitol police" The re-
porter thought the barons English was
pretty good. as he had been here for a long
time, and wrote the story. He saw the
baron a few days later and asked him
how he was getting on up at the capitol.
oh, you mistake" said the baron. Il

The reporter did not print this story,
and few weeks afterward found the
baron stopping at a boarding house and
asked him when he was going to start for
the place where he was to be marshal.

| said the baron.
And thus little light dawned on the re-
| porter's brain, and he halfway regarded
the baron as an office-seeker. A week
or two later the reporter asked the baron
about the deputy marshalship. and the
baron replied:
Il be appointed in a few days now.

| 1t would not be well for the cotton plan
tiers to jump to the conclusion that duty
of 20 per cent. upon raw cotton, as pro-
! posed by Senator Bacon and accepted by
the Senate, would result in an increase in
the price 1t is possible that the price
| of sea island cotton might be slightly and
temporarily increased by the duty. Some
Of the sea island planters think that they
would be benefited and have sent petitions
to congress asking for the favor Of the gov
eminent in that direction. But in so
far as the mass of cotton producers Is
concerned, the duty would have absolutely
no beneficial effect. That this is true is
demonstrated in the case Of wheat. upon
which there has been a protective duty for
a long time. The duty on wheat has never
cut any figure in the price, and it were
put on the free list tomorrow it would not
cause a ripple in the market. Yet we ex-
port only about 30 per cent. OF our wheat
whereas we export above 66 per cent Of
our cotton We raise cotton for sale in
other countries, and selling more abroad
than we use a home, the price is fixed
abroad. A duty of FIVE cents a pound, or
of short staple cotton one-tenth of a mill.
To the mass Of cotton producers, there
fore the duty proposed would be merely
a Barmecide feast. Sea island cotton may
be temporary benefited. though there are
reasons to think the latter claps" would
more than offset the temporary advantage.
AS we understand the situation. the poor
crop and low prices for sea islands last
season have had the result of inducing
considerable reduction of acreage this year.
small crop next fall would have the
effect of somewhat increasing the price,
say for Illustration, cents. The addi-
ton of a tariff upon the staple might have
the effect of adding another cent or two
to the price. This increase would cause
a rush into sea island cotton growing bus
mess, with the outcome that the succeed
ing crop would be the largest ever grown
and the price would drop like a shot.
If the gentlemen in congress wish to ben
eft the farmers of the south, let them Sc
cure the very lowest possible duties upon
those things which the farmers have to
buy. Let them fight against taxing the
southern farmers cotton ties, and his
plows, and other utensils and tools, and
the clothes he wears, and the blankets he
sleeps under. A % per cent duty upon
cotton, no part of which would reach the
farmers pocket, would not compensate for
the tariff taxes which the farmer is to be
compelled to pay
