THE COTTON PROBLEM.

Cotton is below it's real value now.
! 1t bears no comparison to the prices
! that are paid relatively for wool in
! prosperous seasons. There must be a
change to the cotton business of the
! country if it is to be a lucrative one
in the future. Cotton must be large
| ly consumed in our own mills and the
| manufactured product instead OF the
baled cotton shipped abroad before
the best results will be realized. Then
the increase of cotton production In
other countries will compel the raw
cotton of this country to ask protec-
ton as do other staples, at the hands
of Congress. This will make us large
ly the consumers of our own cotton
products, but it will largely increase
the number of those who earn wages
in mills and so enlarge the home
market for all our farm productions
as we'll as to increase the market for
the consumption of our own cloths.
This is what the free trader kicks
against, contending for the markets of
the world. The time is coming in
which that market will be supplied
with the raw material OF the South
Americas. Australia, India and Egypt.
We cannot compete in low wages
with these countries and must come
to depend upon ourselves. rms IN
crease in cotton production Wlthln
the United states is just what HIedI
Britain fears and it is this fear
which causes so much alarm in view
of the threatened strike among all cot
ton mill operatives in England. If
that strike comes and the British cot
ton spinners and cloth makers trans
plant their mills to the cotton fields
Of the United States, as they are al
ready doing in some instances, then
it will mean increased price for the
cotton of the Texas cotton belt. What
this section needs is the mill in the
cotton fields right alongside of the gin
and when it is put there it will keep
the price of cotton steady and take
1t out of the power of Liverpool and
Wall street to fix it's value. Whether
British spinners build these mills or
not American capital will find a
splendid field for investment in Texas
cotton mills The time is coming in |
which this will be more appreciated |
han it is now, but the fact is already |
in manufacturing quarters |
md the action will not long be delay |
d. Then, and not till then, will Tex |
Is cotton raisers be safe.

The latest from Ohio that is of a
non-partisan character will lie ad to the
conclusion that there is no certainty
of the coming fight for the seat now
occupied by Hanna. The legislature
that has just been elected is of no pos
tive complexion, as to its majority. 1t
is a stand-off between the sure Re-
publicans and all the members of the
opposition. Nothing less than the con-
solidation of every vote opposed to the
Republican party can defeat Hanna
and it is only when the votes are count
ed that this will be determined one way
or another. With a man of Hanna's
resources the chances are that some
members of the opposition can be in
duced to cast their ballots for him.
The state vote. which places the polit-
ical position that the state occupies
as to the administration, is unquali-
fiedly Republican. A desperate effort
was made to defeat the party, and Nc
Kinleyism would have been rebuked
thereby, but that effort was a signal
failure. Hanna was the selected vic
tim.

There is no need of any furry over
the temporary cessation of gold ship
ments from Europe. There has been
an advance there in the rates of
money over there, because it was com
ing over here in such volume, and
there has been a decline in rates in the
United States on account of the sur
plus on hand everywhere. These two
facts tell great story of the tide of
turning prosperity.

Western Texas is enjoying such a
season of prosperity as she has not
smiled over in many years. Her cat
tie and sheep men are right in the
middle of it, and her volume of wealth
being largely in live stock there will
be no let up to her increase for years
to come, for cattle are scarce and
prices are not going down into the eel
lar for some seasons to come. Wool
also is shearing money.

There is no longer any reasonable
doubt that the whole program at Mad

not been at any time in the official
mind of Spain any idea of granting
autonomy to Cuba. The Sagasta poll
cy is one of pretences and wind.
