Fiscal Year Pounds

A glance at this table will show
tb(it is not the largest crop that
.lngs in the most money. This is
perhaps better shown by the fol-
lowing summary, furnished by
the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat:
1s93-94 crop 7,549,S17 bales,
average price 1853, proceeds
1892, 932, 500.

The price of cotton has had a
wide range. In 1925 it stood at
10 cents a pound falling in 1881
to Z cents, and rising in 1885 to
Is cents. F~ive-cent cotton was
unknown in New York until 1913.
but n185O the price was II cents
During the wal the price went IL
New York to $40. This was il
1864. The lowest price in tina
year was 70 cents. In 1870, long
after the end Ct the war, th'
price was nearly 26 cents; il
1880 it was 10 cents, ant
in 1890 it stood at abou
those figures. After 1895 price
began to seek lower ranges, an
now fve.cent cotton is no longe
q novelty.

The Supreme Issue.

In his last speech, delivered
the day before his sudden death.
the lamented Judge E. T. Boy
kin very clearly set forth the
|overshadowing issue in the pres
[ent campaign in North Carolina,
He said the pending contest is
for the supremacy of virtue and
intelligence. The Judge was
right and it is for these things
and the blessings that will How
Ifrom them that the white men of
North Carolina are solidifying
their ranks for one of the most
important contests ever waged.
The Judge stated truly. also,
THAT it is not the Democracy that
has drawn the color line, and in
support of this declaration he
said:
"In 1896 so unified was the me-
gro vote that the entire number
of negro electors might have
been voted by proxy in the hands
iof one Of their race. This could
mot be attributed to any injustice
perpetrated against then by the
whites. The whites pay almost
seven-eighths of the taxes. They
Educated the negro as they eduN
cated their own children; they
built and supported asylums for
their insane and their deaf, dumh
and blind; they secured them
Justice in the courts; they select
ed them as jurors; they assured
them personal liberty. They have
been deceived by the enemies OF
law and order, the white Repub'
|Iican Office hunters, and THEN
passions and pcejudices have
been excited against their bes1
friends. And still, not one Of
them has been permitted, in al
these years, to become a candi-
date on a State Republican
ticket for a State Office, because
the white Republicans of the
west could not be placated. They
ARE rewarded by local offices il
Eastern counties and cities ano
towns. and the Interests thai
most intimately concern the in'
telIigeuce and morality and prop
erty of the taxpayers are com
mitted to their reckless and uns
scrupulous hands"
Referring to the Popu|lsfs
Judge Boykin said;
There a be no reason why
the Populists should not unite
with the Democrats in a contes

9rty, the supremacy Of the whit

The Surplus.

The Springfield Mass Repub-

Bless your innocent heart.
| there will be 40 occasion to wor-
ry about that if the Republicans
continue ia power. They will find
means of getting rid of every
dollar of surplus, and more be-
sides. Indeed, considering the
way their State conventions are
passing expansion resolutions,
they are already providing for
the surplus sink>heles.
And in these sink holes will be
found e~nsconced an army OF
ofice-holders, ever uttering tbs
Oliver Twist cry. and having thai
cry constantly answered, to the
sorrow of the people.

tons are beginning to echo tbs

THE GREAT COTTON CROP.

Before the war the largest cot
ton crop ever grown was 4,o6l,-
900 bales. This was in 1859, and
it was not until 1873 that a great
er crop was produced. That crop
was 5,074,155 bales. In 1887 the
crop for the first time exceeded
1000, 600 bales. In 1891 the crop
reached 9 900, 900 bales, and in
1894 very nearly 100000 oo
bales were produced. The crop
of 1894 was the banner or record
crop down to the crop grown last
year.
Secretary Hester, of the New
Orleans cotton exchange, puts
the crop of 1898 at 11,199.994
bales, as against 9.901,251 bales

gone it may be that the national air Of
America will be heard, for music the
people OF Havana will always have.
The statue of Isabella may remain for
awhile. 1t was erected in 1857 to honor
the memory Of Lieutenant General Ena
and his valiant comrades who died de-
Tending their queen and their country
in 1851. So reads the inscription. After
a time it will give way to some worthy
monument.
Havana has one monument that de-
serves to remain forever. 1t is a fitting
tribute to one whose services benefit
posterity. The statue is that of Fran
cisco de Albear, the eminent civil and
military engineer, the most illustrious
Of his profession. He designed the sys-
tenn of waterworks which took his name
and is known as the canals of Albear.
The statue stands in the "glarieta, " or
miniature square, into which the
Parque Central narrows and from which
lead the business thoroughfares Obispo
and O'Reilly. The statue is by the Gu
ban sculptor, Saavedera of Florence.
The attitude is characteristic one.
The female figure at the base symbolizes
Havana. It is executed with much
spirit and strength. The inscriptions
on the pedestal tell that Albear was
born in 1916 and died in 1887, that bis
amefemains indelibly linked with the
history of the city and that the monu-
ment is erected by grateful city to
her illustrious son.-Special New York
