II there was any sensation at all yes
terday IN the Senate debate, it was the
attack made by Mr.. McEnery, of Louis
lana. on the American Cotton Company, as
a gigantic and vicious monopoly. The at
tack was significant in the minds OF most
people who heard the speech and W ho were
familiar with the facts, because broth Z
Senator. J X. Jones, of Arkansas, is a
director in that company.
Inasmuch as Senator McEuery is the
ONLY Democratic member of the body
" ho voted for the Republican sugar seized
ule. il was, OF course, expected that he
would he heard on his position. He was
heard Yesterday. He spoke with intense
earneStness whenever he abandoned his
notes.
The Democrats, as q rule, have made
snme severe criticisms of the Sugar Trust
and refIexiveIy of all who have in any
way aided in the legislation which has
been openly charged TO be in its favor.
This has apparently been keenly felt b.
Senator McEnery, and to the avera ge mind
in the press galleries and Senate, resented
partly 10y his attack on the American
Cotton Company.
He referred to the attacks ON the
Sugar Trust but he would remind the
Senators that there was as great one
in this American Cotton Company, which
was making towards the oppression of the
people, certainly the farmers OF the South,
ty controlling the baling of cotton and
the sale OF cotton. Other charges made by
Mr. NcEnery viii be found elsewhere in
The Times.
Mr.. Jones made no reply in the Senate
lie WAS tod, however, Of the effect pro-
duced by Mr.. McEnery's speech, and
especially as Il was understood that Mr.
John II. searles, the secretary Of the
Sugar Trust, was the president Of the
American Cotton Company.
Mfr. Jones said that, in the first place,
the company was in 10 sense q. tICst, nor
was it doing or intending to do any of
the things charged by Mr.. McEnery. 1t
was also true that he is director in it,
The company controls a patent for the
baling OF cotton, and ii has not entered
into the purchase or sale Of tie staple, as
alleged 10y the Senator from Louisiana.
1t was necessary when the experiments
were being conducted to buy cotton for
the experiments, but TO that extent only
The patent was not his, but he had taken
great interest in the process for about
ten years. He had advanced money TO
have it perfected, and had eventually taken
stock in the patent as an equivalent for
his advances.
'sThe statement" said Mr.. Jones, "that
the company intends to buy or in any way
control the cotton crop is absolutely with
out foundation. The company, of course,
The times., 1897-06-13

proposes TO utilize its patent and to put up
presses wherever it thinks proper, but it
cannot create Il monopoly, since all other
presses not run by our patent Will be
ay aiIahlc TO the public. We simply think
that we have demonstrated what the in
vention is, and we are trying to get the
cotton ginners to use our presses
Mr.. Jones was asked what there was IN
the statement TO the effect that this com
pdny had il in mind to secure such Co
operation between American and European
boards of trade as would result in the ac-
ceptance Of commercial cotton only when
baled by the process in which he was in
terested. He denied that there was such
intention. He would say, however, that
the company would eDleavor to have its
baling recognized in commercial circles just
as other devices had been recognized and
accepted by boards OF trade in this country.
