Watered Stock in All It's Glory.

Professor George D. Heron thus de- scribes stock watering: "Watered stock is q method of high treason by which eorpor- ations forcibly tax the nation for private profit, and by which they annually extort millions from American toilers and pro- ducers. It is essentially a system of yio- fence, spoil and robbery as would be the over-running of the nation by Tartar hordes, laying hands whatever they choose to take for their own."
 This definition finds ample illustration In the tinplate trust. This particular trust raised last December the capitalization of it's component companies from SIP 00O, 900 to $50,0OOO00, and then it raised the price of each hundred-pound box of tin from $2.S2k to $i.02A, an advance of s1.2o box. It pro- duces eight million boxes yearly, upon which it extorts annually from the people $9,60O,0 900 beyond the prices that prevailed before the trust was formed.
 This particular piece of high treason is protected by tariff duty of s150 box. It has not advanced the price quite up to the tariff mark. English tin landed here is worth $2S0. Add to this the tariff duty, and we have $4.9O. The trust has never put prices beyond s4.1O. It is near the tariff limit, but not quite up to it.
 In England there are many trusts, but none of them can advance prices above the worlds level. Here they can carry them up to a tariff limit bargained and paid for through MT. Mark Hanna and the republican party.
 The tinplate trust is no worse than the rest of the vile brood. Its sins have be- come more public than those of it's col leagues because it refuses to share it's ex- orbtant extortions with its workingmen. It is paying seven per cent. on it's preferred stock, and it is endeavoring to pay diyi- dends on its common stock. It cannot, therefore, grant an increase of twenty per cent. to it's workingmen. It wants all it can get. It is a system of "vioence, spoil and robbery" Professor Herrons pen picture fits it like glove

BANKHEaD FOR CONGRESS-

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 The newspapers that insist upon placing Congressman Bankhead in the senatorial lists next year are evidently mistaken. The genial gentleman from the Sixth dis trict wants to be leader of the democratic hosts in the coming congress and speaker of the next house. There is one thing quite certain in connection with Congressman Bankhead and the senatorship. He would much prefer the speakership of the house to seat in the senate. In the event of an unsuccessful contest he will be chairman of the ways and means committee in the next congress, which is far preferable to a seat in the senate without an important assignment. Congressman Bankhead is a leader in the Alabama delegation and has honors awaiting him. Those who want him sioetracked for an unsuccessful senatorial contest have misjudged their man. He may go to the senate but it will be after he has had the highest honors conferred bv the lower house.
The age-herald., 1899-07-08
The Cotton OutIoek.

The continuously favorable weather in the cotton-growing districts leads many to anticipate another eleven million bale crop It is well known that the decrease in acre. age has existed chiefly in the government reports. Whatever decrease there has been will not cut the crop below eleven million bales if the season continues to be favora- ble. But July and August are both critical months, and this is especially true in the case of a late-planted crop.
 Even if third eleven-million- crop should be produced, prices ought not to rule extremely low, because consumption is in- creasing each year, and is today larger than it ever was before in the history of the trade. The present consumption of the world demands an American crop of ten million bales, and it will absorb eleven mill lion bales without leaving an undue surplus on September l. The following table will be of interest, covering, as it does, ten years, and showing at glance the size of the crop and the New York price of the
