the debt would have been decreased in at
least the amount of the deficiency anl
business confidence immeasurably
strengthened throughout the country.
Congress should promptly correct the ex-
isting conditions. Ample revenues must
be supplied not only for the ordinary
expenses of government. but for the
prompt payment Of liberal pensions and
the liquidation Of the principal and in
terest of the public debt.
In raising revenues, duties should be so
levied upon foreign products as to pre-
serve the home market, so far as possi-
BILE, to our own producers; to revive and
increase manufacturers; to relieve and
encourage agriculture; to increase cur
domestic and foreign commerce. to aid
and develop mining and building; and
to render to labor in every field of &C.
eupation the liberal wages and adequate
rewards to which skill and industry are
justly entitled.
The necessity of the passage of tariff
law which shall provide ample revenue
need not be further urged. The imper-
ative demand of the hour is the prompt
enactment of such a measure and to this
object, earnestly recommend that con-
gress shall make every endeavor. Be
fore other business Is transacted let us
first provide sufficient revenue to faith
fully administer the government without
contracting further debt or the contin-
ued disturbance of our finances.

SUMS COTTON.

New York, March 15--Spot cotton here
was unchanged with sales of 537 bales for
spinning. Middling. re against u-16c
last year; New Orleans and gulg, 7lsc
against 11-16c last year. The principal
factor in the rise today was the daily river
bulletin issued by the weather bureau. This
bulletin caused the advance here carly in
tn day. Liverpool rallied after a walker
opening, receipts at the ports and the in.
terror towns were generally smaller than
week ago, the spot markets in this coun-
try were firm and shorts covered. Liver
pool and New Orleans were moderate trad
ers today, but the speculation was mainly
local. Before the close part of the inn
provement was not on realizing sales, but
the last prices showed net advance for the
day. The receipts at the ports for the
week are estimated at 10000 against 7i90S
last week.

REPRESENTATIVES, MEETING.

Augusta, Ga, March 15.-The meeting
of the American Cotton Growers Protec-
tive association, held today. was attend
ed by a very representa- tive body of men.
President Hector d. Lane, of Alabama
presided. and addressed the convention
An address was also made by ex-Sena-
tor Patrick Walsh. Resolutions were
adopted urging the farmers TO first make
the cotton states self-supporting. and
then the area devoted to cotton will yield
more profitable returns than If they
sought to increase the number of bales.
While the reduction of the acreage to
be planted in cotton for the sole pur-
pose of reducing the size of the crop
may be impractical BILE. the increases OF
area planted in food crops must newt
ably bring prosperity to the cotton grow
ers, irrespective of the size of the cot
ton crop. There, has never been time
in our history that movement looking

GOOD AS A GOLD MINE.
A New Mineral Discovered in Planta
tIon in Hancock County.

Ellsworth, August ga mineral
known as molebdnite has been found on
property owned by Charles H. Emery of
Ellsworth, in platation No. 10, Hancock
county. The find was made by f. j.
Stacy of Stacyville who has been pros
pecting in thevicinity for some time. Mr..
Stacy saw flake of the mineral on the
ledge, and firing three shots, he took out
about five pounds. 1t has been assayed in
Boston at 81 pound.
The mineral resembles graphite. and Is
used for lubricating purposes. 1t is found
in pockets in white quartz, and 1t is
claimed that where these two are found
together gold is likely to exist. However
this may be, the malebdnite itself is
valuable enough, and arrangements have
been made to continue the prospecting on
a larger scale. If the mineral is found in
sufficient quantities works will be estab-
iished to develop mines.

Government Needs More Dry Docks and
Portland Is just the Place for One.

Washington, August 26--Admiral Mat
thews, chief of the bureau of yards and
docks of the Navy Department has re-
turned from his vacation. Work, he says,
has been delayed in repairing the big dock
at the New York yard because of the diff
Guilty experienced in securing material
He will urge strongly that our present
docking facilities be greatly enlarged. He
believes there should be a large dock at
Boston, another at New York, one at
League Island, Philadelphia, another at
Norfolk yard and one each on the Gulf
and Pacific coasts. He also says there
should be dock at New London, Conn,
or Gardner's bay at the eastern end of
Long Island. He says that Gardner's s
bay Is an excellent harbor and would be
one of the first points seized by an enemy
in case of war. He thinks that such a
system of docks is necessary If the navy
is to be built up and maintained in first
class condition and that work to this end
should begin soon.

and your reverence of His day of rest''
