The boycott rarely. If ever. pays those
sho first resort to 1t. In fact 1t generally
recoils disastrously upon the heads of the
boycotters. The American people still like
fair play and stlll recognize the rights Of
opinion In all citizens and refuse to coun-
tenance the application of coercion to
bring any one man or class OF men around
to the desires Of another man or class
These broad truths are being demon
strated again In New York, where the
Evening Post has been having n fight with
its former advertisers who attempted to
boycott IL for opinions sake. The Post
called attention to the baggage inspection
regulations at the New York custom house
and incidentally showed how much cheap
er goods could be bought abroad than in
New York. It's advertisers took offense
and by agreement all withdrew from its
columns. Then the press and thousands
OF fair minded people began to demand
the names of the boycotters and to make
1t warm for them, The other day the
Post began publishing series of letters
OF which the following is a fair sample:
To the Editor OF the Evening Post.

SUNDAY, APRIL 10, 1seo.
THIRTY-TWO PAGES.
THE POSITION OF COTTON.

For two years the price of cotton has
pound. During that time middling has sold
In Houston as high as cents and as low
as 4 S-4 cents. The average price has not
been over IL cents, and today middling
is quoted on the local market at 57-S
cents, with declining tendency.
The farmers certainly can not assert
that the course OF the market this winter
and spring has been such as to encourage
an increase OF acreage, The spring ad-
vance that many persons claim Is always
brought about by the spectators. In order
to influence planting, has not occurred.
The seed has been placed in the ground
under most discouraging price conditions.
and II market quotations have any effect
upon the acreage 1t would certainly seem
plausible to presume that the number OF
acres devoted to cotton in the South had
been curtailed.
That there has been no concerted action
In this direction, however. Is we'll known.
Every farmer has settled the planting
question for himself, and under such cir
acreage will show little change one way or
the other Whether the cotton producers
have acted wisely In reiraining from ag-
itating acreage reduction is difficult,
question to determine. While II Is true
that another crop OF 100000 bales fol
lowing last years. will undoubtedly keep
prices around 5 cents. it is also fact
that a yield OF 100000 or 100000 bales
less than that would hardly be comtorta.
BILE supply for the worlds splnners. ant
would cause a material enhancement o.
values. The decrease In the yield car
easily result from unfavorable weather
conditions, consequently IL is readily seer
that changing the acreage does not deter
mine the crop. With favorable weather
a crop 100000 bales larger than last
years. could be gathered, while bad con-
diticns throughout the summer might re.
suit In a yield 1000, 900 bales less.
The most favorable feature OF the pres.
en-. situation is the rapidly increasing de-
mand for cotton. The consumption this
season has been on an enormous scale
and there is no sign OF decrease in tn,
takings. Every spindle and loom In Amer
lea aud Europe Is working at full speed
and the worlds visible supply OF cotton Il
rapidly decreasing, although still nearl!
100000 bales more than at this time las
year. Should the demand show proper
tionate increase next year II would TAX
crop Of 1O,5oo.ooo bales to make a com
Portable supply. Anything much large
would keep prices around the presen
level.

the number OF people they reach. The
editorial comment Is the expression OF the
opinions of che management on public
questions. and is as distinct from the
business side Of the paper as the political
or religious opinion OF merchant is dis
tinct from the price OF his goods. 1t would
be ms poor policy on the part OF an ad-
vcrtiser to withdraw his advertisement
from paper In an attempt to control
the opinions OF the editor. or to coerce him
into a certain policy, Is It would be for
a democrat TO refuse to buy suit OF
clothes from a republican because Of po-
iitical differences. Good business sense in
either case would dictate the patronage Of
the concern that could give the best re-
turns for the money.
But when this attempt at coercion takes
the form OF concerted boycott between q
number OF individuals. It is a fragrant at
tack upon the righta of man and. In the
case In question. the freedom and inde-
pendence Of the press that very properly
and generally receives wide public cor
domination. The expected Is happening to
these hasty and narrow New York mer-
chants who sought to bluff the Evening
Post--the public is rallylng to the paper s
aid and the boycotters are tasting the
bitter fruits In the loss of thousands Of
dollars of custom!
The incident furnishes another useful
lesson to that class of intolerant people
found everywhere who can not bear to
find others with independent convictions
or purposes contrary to their own, aud
think of no other remedy for the situation
but coercion.
