Many of the papers continue to
print statements and alleged argu-
ments intended to convince the public
OF the superiority of the round cotton
bale over The square bale One of
the latest claims is that exporters
will pay about 40 cents per hundred
more for round bales than for square
bales This. however, does not
count for anything, except as an
offset to the tare en- square bales.
The Enquirer does not think it has
spy prejudice in the matter; but
under the circumstances It is con
vinced that the best thing that the
cotton growers of the south can do
is 10 hold on to the old square bale
1t will be we'll for them to secure
uniformity of size if possible. and
also to insist on the best wrapping
they can get. Most of the wrapping
is done so carelessly as to be very
expensive to the man who sells the
cotton. But the round bale is not
needed. Notwithstanding any real or
imaginary advantages The best
patents of machinery for making
round bales belong to capitalists who
have no intention of selling out at
any reasonable price. Their idea is
to substitute the round bale ma
chinery for the square bale presses
on terms that will insure to them
perpetual control of the round bale
machinery After that there will be
no more competition in cotton and the
trust will fix the price at the gin.
TO prevent the growth of a trust is
comparatively easy but healthy
trust once grown can be pulled down
again only with the greatest Difficult
