Houston, Wednesday, September 81
Quarantine may he termed a necessary evil.
but Il is severely felt In commercial circles.
A prominent business man today remarked :.
The farmers should not lay all their Ills
on the traders and spectators. because they
ars in no wise responsible for the low price
II farm products Without traders and spec
ulators we would be In state OF semi-clv-
Nization ct best. The merchant always likes
to see high prices. Ten per cent interest on
$1,000 ia better than the same interest on 500,
consequently the trader likes to obtain good
values.
Fad legislation is responsible for great
deal OF tho trouble and then supply and de-
niand must be considered Unfortunately we
In the South seem to suffer from both. He:e
We are on tho opening Of the business season
confronted with Il quarantine. New CLEANS,
the great seaport of the Mississippi valley. is
scaled up because of three four sporadic
cases OF so-caled yellow fever OF course
this affects tho planter directly because Il
prevents him from shipping his products to
market
"Tako Galveston. for instance. ship whs
put on from European ports for New Orleans
When the vessel arrived at Port Eads her
ton for cargo. This she did and although she
had never been near New Orleans she is held
In quarantine for ten days at heavy cx-
pence. The consequence IL that she VIII
now demand high charges for freight. all OF
which must come out OF the cotton as toll
and assist in causing lower prices Besides
this other ship owners VIII be afraid to ven
tufe to Galveston for fear Of being tod
UP. because they pissed the mouth Of tho
Mss issippl and New orleans is on the Missls-
tippi. There Is a premium Oh freight room
iCr grain lust now at Atlantic ports and the
foreign vessels viii naturally go TO ports
where quarantine Is enforced on diffcrcn,
syrt IN. Naturally ship room out OF Calves.
ten viii be higher and the farmer must pay
1t out Of his cotton.
II we must have quarantine let us have
tbs laws amended on an intelligent basis and
not unnecessarily tie up commerce. The
farmer is as much IL not mora interested Ia
this than the city man. and he should give
these matters attention as he Is directly the
sufferer IN financial way"
