When brought from the forests
they are sold at the rate of $40

that Contain Mercury,

as mercury will destroy the sense OF

The Farmer Pays the Freight.

The uncertainty in regurt to
the settlement of difficulties be-
tween the United States and Spain
has resulted in the detaining Of
some 40 Spanish freight vessels
at Liverpool. These vessels, but
for this fact, would be engaged in
carrying our cotton abroad. AS
a consequence of the detention of
these vessels and the uncertainty
of the successful termination of
peace negotiations at Paris, the
ocean freight rates have been
materially advanced. These freight
ers could carry 200, 900 bales of
Southern cotton abroad, were
they in active service. Thus the
farmer has to take lower prio es
for his cotton, and feels the war
in a practical way long after the
actual fighting has ceased. The
jingoes got the glory out of the
war, but the farmer Is paying the
freight and selling his cotton
lower than at any time since 1860.
