MORE ABOUT TUE COTTON TRUST

we mentioned yesterday the remark
able proposition OF Mr.. Frederick Turn
bull of Pennsylvania. that the southern
cotton planters form a great pool ana
fix the price of cotton.
OF course the thing is utterly vision
airy. and even if such a pool could be
formed it could not possibly control the
prices OF cotton. III it should set the
nrce at eight cents pound says the
Charleston News and Courier ''it would
not be long before the foreign cotton
fields would be supplying large part Oh
the foreign demand for raw cotton"
This is undoubtedly true, and the only
effect of such trust would be to de-
velop the cotton industry in Egypt and
other foreign lands in competition with
the South.
There is an interesting point here I'm
connection with trusts generally which
has more than once been emphasized by
The Times. 1t has been claimed that
the sole purpose Of a trust is TO kill off
competition. so that the price Of the
product controlled by the trust might be
made higher than the price would De- un-
der competition. But experience shows
that the effect of all such organizations
has been to improve the character Of the
article manufactured and to lower the
price and the reason is obvious. All
such concerns know well enough that
the only way that they can maintain
themselves is 10y selling the best possible
article at the lowest possible price Any
other policy would simply be suicidal for
the moment that it was discovered by
outsiders that there was a big profit in
this class of manufacture, opposition
would undoubtedly spring up and opposi-
ton is just what a trust does not desire.
II fights opposition constantly by max
ing its goods popular and by keeping
the price so low that there is no in
ducement 10 others to engage in the bus
mess.
And this would necessarily be the case
with the proposed cotton trust, In order
to maintain itself, it would be necessary
to make the best grade Of cotton at the
lowest possible cost otherwise. as our
Charleston contemporary points out op-
position would spring up in various
parts of the world.
We hear a great deal about monopoly.
hut the fact is that real monopoly in this
day is about as scarce as hens teeth.

all who cannot conform with an educa-
tional and small property qualification.
In point OF fact, the Democratic party
has for years been in control of Louis
lana. but this has been accomplished by
methods that were seriously Objectionable
20 all good citizens. and the New Or
leans newspapers made bold the asser-
ton that IN order TO the control OF the
whites. either election trickcry or resort
TO the shotgun policy was necessary. In
the interest, therefore. OF law and order
and OF public morals. the people have
finally determined to eliminate the negro
vote which has been the disturbing fac
tor. and which has rendered these OBJ
jectionable methods necessary.
Mississippi and South Carolina have
already adopted this plan, and Louisiana
follows as a close third.

A PUZZLED CONTEMPORARY.

The Portsmouth Star takes n hand in
| the discussion between the Lynchburg
News and the Richmond Times as to the
hest method of revising the Constitution,
and says that what IS back OF The
Times opposition, Tho Times alone
knows"
We would cay TO our contemporary
that II he has read The Times on this
subject. he knows all there is to know
Of our reasons for opposing a constltu-
tional convention There is nothing back
Of The Times opposition" This paper
has no concealments. no hidden motives.
We discuss all public questions frankly
and above board and not by indlrection
and lodging. We profess neither sancu-
hcation nor infallibiity. but We do claim
TO be entirely candid. and the Portsmouth
Star has read The Times to little purpose.
If It has not discovered this fact for it.
self.
There is no difficulty whatever in as
ccrtaining the position Of The Times on
this question and on all questions. and
our contemporary would do better to di-
rect its investigation to determine what
IS behind" the convention movement
That is the question with which we are
concerned.
We can see no reason, and no salts
factory reason has ever been given. why
a dangerous and expensive convention
should be called to revise the Constitu-
ton. when all necessary changes may be
made through amendments which orgi-
nate in the Legislature, and are finally
passed upon by the people. The chief
argument against the amendment pro-
cess has been that ii is slow and tedious,
but we have shown, and il cannot be
disputed. that the. convention method is
quite as slow and quite as tedious from
the present standpoint as the amendment
method.
We have observed. too. that those who
have been most camorous for con-
sututional convention have taken no
steps whatever to have the Constitution
revised by the amendment process. That
fact necessarily arouses the suspicion
that there Is something behind" the con-
vention scheme that has not been made
manifest.
1t is undoubtedly a dangerous thing for
the people of a great State to put into
the hands Of a few chosen representa-
tivos absolute power TO wipe ont the
fundamental law Of the state and to
write it anew. Trusting the people IN
deedi IT is the people trusting their most
sacred rights to the will of few We
confess to apprehension on this point and
we are surprised that the Portsmouth
Star. i'm view of It's recent utterances
concerning the Legislature Of Virginia,
does not share i'm that apprehension. 1t
IS only n little while ago that the Star as
serted that the proceedings of the Legis-
Iature were dominated by spirit OF
Altgeldism. Tilmanism and Populism.
Is the star quite sure that convention
called TO revise the Constitution would
not be dominated 10y the same spirit?
We cannot understand how our contem-
porary. who is so suspicious of the Leg
islature can be so confident Of a constitu-
tioual convention.
