not quit planting cotton and turn their
attention to some other crop?
Well, what shall that "some other crop"
be? 1t is an easy matter to sit up in a
newspaper office and dispose OF this prob
lem 1t has been done every day for
quarter Of a century. The farmers plant
cotton because their necessities compel
them to. 1t is the only crop grown in
the South which, in any market near or
remote, will fetch the cash money. That
is why they grow it. They must have
some money, and cotton is the only crop
that is certain to command money, be the
amount large or small.
We think it would be a good thing II
the farmers coNld be induced to raise cot
ton as a surplus crop. but such reform
as this is not to be carried out In day,
year, or even in a generation. The grow
ing of cotton Is really an individual affair,
and the quantity to be planted and culti-
waited must always depend upon the con-
ditions and necessities of the individual
and not of the mass. This is why the
Southern growers appear to be so deaf to
the eloquent appeals of the able editors
who know how to advise better than they
know how to manage a farm.
Mr.. Neills estimate comes at time
when both European and American spin
ners are in position to wait on the mar
ket. The cotton goods trade is not flourish
ING III Is tHS largest INDUSTRY IN New
England. and in mary respects the most
important, but the republican spinners
do not hesitate to announce that they have
as yeS seen no evidence OF the Mckinley
wave o. prosperity. They have not even
felt the stimulus of the high tariff, nor of
the higher price OF wheat.
They do not know whether their troubles
arise from overproduction or undercon-
sumption. They only know that, in spite
of the many shut downs and the short
hours of the past three years, they still
find their storehouses filled with goods
for which there Is no demand. The Eu-
ropean spinners are in no better case. All
are waiting, merely buying from hand to
mouth and running Just enough to keep
their machinery from rusting.
Thus they can afford to walt on both
sides the water for lower prices of the
raw material, and their disposition is
stimulated by Mr. Neill's revised esti-

Mr.. Neiu Dobs Up.
Atlanta Constitution.


Once more Mr.. Neill comes to the front
with his cotton estimates On the LIST Of
September, or thereabouts he guessed that
the crop would reach ten and half mid
lion bales. He now revises this guess so
far as to announce that the minimum
yield of the American crop will be ten
and half million bales, and predicts that
the price in Liverpool will fall to 7-sd.
This means about cents on this side,
and even less, for the average grads.
Mr. NELL is in position to do great
deal OF mischief in the market. and he
doesn't hesitate to use his influence in
that direction. He can hslp the spinners

are already, as the saying is, on their up-

The real price Of cotton today. taking

NOT A RADICAL CHANGE. ss
AN examination of the plan herein sug-

McKinley's Inaugural.

The Inauguration of VIM. Mckinley
as President and Garrett A. Hobart as
Vice President on the 4th was witness
ed by hundreds of thousands Of people.
The great event of the day was the
grand parade OF $1,000 men.
Mr.. McKinley's inaugural address
dealt in vague g%eneralities. For the
monetary ills he proposed no remedy,
except a commission to investigate the
matter. His endorsement OF interna-
tional bimetallism is held to be harm
less In connection with a clear and posi-.
tive statement that the present stand
ard of money and the credit of the Ma,
tion must be maintained.
He has called an extra session of
Congress to reform the tariff as be
thinks when there is enough reyenue

it he thinks the prompt action Of Con.
gress will restore confidence 0nG revive

fall of agricultural prices, which are
fixed by prices ruling abroad and can
be affected by no tariff legislation. So
it is hard to see how a high tariff can
bring revival to manufacturing, for it
cannot restore the market for manu-
featured goods that has been lost
through the impoverishment of our

John II. McLean'S
Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer /;
or a more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr. John R. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour-
mails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
50 cents a year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
200, 900 new subscribers the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret Of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers:
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. By
maintaining the price of the paper,
o news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
it incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as well as
those of greater magnitude.

Great restitution is reported in the
parishes of Winn and Jackson in the
state of Louisiana. This district OF
the state is composed of a farming
population in the main well.to do, but
last summer a %protracted drouth visit
ed the section, which prevented the
maturity Of crops. In fact, nothing
was raised, and the farmers have nc
produce with which to feed either their
families or domestic animals. Nearly
all of the sufferers are entirely worthy,
and they need food and clothing. In
the parish of VIM more than 500 fam.
lilies are actually suffering forthe neces'
saries of life, andth number liz daily
increasing. The relief rendered by the
state is entirely inadequate to tide the
people over the emergency, and outside
aid is urgently needed.

On Tuesday Senator Miller introduc.
ed a bill in the Senate by request which
prohibits the principal or keeper OF any
almshouse, jail or prison In the State
from distributing tobacco in any form
whatever to the inmates. The idea
is to stop the weekly distribution OF
tobacco to prisoners, which is about the
only privilege allowed convicts or in
mates of institutions. Why should not
the bill pass. 1t is well to provide the
necessaries of life for the needy, but
why should a luxurious, filthy habit
be catered to. According to the last
report of the Almshouse Trustees of
Salem county $59.35 were spent for
tobacco, only $S2.24 for dry goods,
SAT. rs for boots and shoes and $1O6 ~
for clothing. More was spent for to.
bacco than boots and shoes and more
than half for tobacco as for clothing.
Senator Miller also introduced another
bill BY request to prevent the manu-
fscture or sale of cigarettes in the
State, and imposes a fine of 500 or six
months Imprisonment. Cigarettes
manufactured for medicinal purposes
are exempted from the penalties of the
act. A smile went around the Cham
Der when Senator Williams referred the
bill to Senator Voorhees, Committee
on Judiciary. The Union Senator is
an i~nyeterate cigarette smoker.
