THoMAsvILLE, Ca, March 3.-The
anticipated visit of Senator Hanna and
President Mckinley to brownsville
may mean a great deal, politically
speaking.
In the early part of the year 1896
Mr.. dark Hanna came to brownsville
and fitted up handsome winter home,
which wac occupied by himself and
family. In March of that year Mr..
Mckinley, by invitation of Mr., Hanna,
became the guest of the Hanna home.
In few days the editors of the
great republican dailes, together
with prominent and influential politi>
clan from every section of the country,
casually dropped into brownsville.
Mr.. Hanna invited these gentlemen to
his house, where a conference was held
and the Mckinley boom was launched,
and as the final result Of this confer
ence he was made president of the
United States.
And now in March, 1899, just four
years later, Mr.. Hanna is to return tC
TnOmasville and Will have Mr.. McKin.
ley for his guest again. The excursion
south of the editors of the great east
eTn papers is headed this way. Thew

Mr.. Mckinley does.
Mayor Hopkins, of this city, has al,
ready extended them an invitation tC

WASHINGTON. March 4.-The most
extravagant congress in the nations
history came to a close today.
1t Will take week or two to figure
up the amount of money taken from
She peoples treasury by the acts of the
tifty-ffth congress, but it is certain to
beklarge enough to startle the country
1t will be little, if any, less than 81 ,000,-
100000
Claims of every description have
been rushed through both houses wlth>
out word of explanation. Senators
and representatives alike have adopted
Senator Tillman's slogan:
"While the stealing is going on
want slice of the beef"
The oldest and most experienced
legislators declare they never witness
ed more reckless expenditure of the
public money,
Representative Maddox Of Georgia
made lumber of fruitless attempts
to check this wholesale looting of the
treasury, but finally gave up the job,
declaring that it was impossible to
break through the stOnewall combina-
tion formed in the interest of gener-
al raid upou the treasury without re,
gard to party atfillatior.
Judge Maddox says the financial rec,
ord made by the congress just adjourn>
ed will cause howl of Indignation and
protest from the common people when
they realize the burdnes OF additional
taxation imposed upon them. He pre-
diets the democrats will go into the
next national campaign on the Tilden
platform of retrenChment and reform
of the republics expenditures.

IF ANY of our people are disposed to
give credence to the partisan claim
that the "money question is dead"
that 1.-THE silver issue has been buried, -
they will do we'll to cast a cursory
glance at the status of the question in
other lands, says the Macon News. In
the TWO great empires of Russia and
Austria the sc-called gold standard is
nothing more than an experimental
beginning, and IN both countries its
pressure is so keenly felt that tie
whole industrial atmosphere is filed
with complaints and appeals for relief.
The same is true of Japan, while in
Chill and Peru the gold standard has
utterly collapsed. The finances Of
Spain are in SO deplorabie a condition
that 1T is doubtful if there will ever he

Col. Yaneey, one of his friends, in the

commissioners have been regarded as

WHAT 1T COSTS TO GROW COTTOM.

Under the supervision of Statistician
Hyde, of the department of agriculture
at Washington, the cost of growing
cotton has been Investigated and the
results of the investigation are to be
published IN few days in pamphlet
form. ThisIwIll show that the average
cost OF producing an acre of upland
cotton in 1898 was SIS AZ, subdivided
into the following items; Rent, 1921;
seed, q cents; fertilizers, ST. 80; dis
tributIng fertilizers, Is cents; chop
ping and hoeing, $1.97; ginning and
pressing, $1.O8; bagging and ties, 81
cents; marketing, 81 cents; repairing
implements, 40 cents; all other ex
penses, A cents.
1t was ascertained that the pounds
of lint produced per acre were 255.6,
sold for 81. cents per pound; bushels
of seed produced Is, price per bushel,
11.9 cents. The total return to the
planter on the average was 5000,
which gave him net profit of 1881
per acre. The cost of picking cotton
per 100 pounds was Al cents, while the
cost of producing the lint per pound
was 5,27 cents,
Several thousand cotton planters
contributed to these statistics and of
the entire number reporting 20 per
cent reported a loss, slargely due to
deficient production, owing to drought
or other causes.
The work of the department in this
investigation covers the cost of cotton
production as far back as 1922, but the
statements previous to 1876 are mostly
individual estimates. For 1875 many
inquiries were made Of former Stats
tician of the department, and these es-
tablished the cost of producing lint
cotton in gold at 1872 cents. One of
the remarkable revelations of the in
vestigatIons is the comparative cost of
marketing cotton in 1897. The com.
parison is itemized, and shows that In
1910 it cost S17.15 to market a bale of
cotton from Alabama to Liverpool,
while in 1898 the cost was $3.50.
