private parties for carrying the mails

cheaper to maintain the stable than to

Manila is the only place where Uncle
Sam carries his own mail.
I have stated that the postoffice and
telegraph systems were operated TO-

Mia Office were 205 names, and I was
considerably exercised at first to know
how that number of men would be en-
ployed. I learn that it was the prac-
tice to work the men every other day,
while chiefs of divisions worked only
one day in four, and let me say right
here, before you apply for an appoint
ment to the Manila postoffice, that
this practice has not been con.
tinued.
OF the POS employees only forty re-

COTTON PLANTERS TRUST.

Representative Southern planters met in
Atlanta yesterday TO devise ways and
means OF controlling the price Of cotton.
The star speaker OF the occasion was
Mr. John L. searles, the millionaire sugar
trust man. who told the farmers, we sup
pose. how they could organize cotton
trust. and so fix the price Of That pro-
duct
This IS 4 queer combination. 10 be sure.
Tho Southern planters have wasted a
good deal Of valuable breath which
might have been expended more proitably
to themselves. in abusing trusts and in
trying 20 devise some means of controll-
ing them by law. Now they are talking
about organizing The cotton planters
trust. and they are getting points from
Mr Searlos. whose particular interest in
the business IS 60 secure tho adoption boy
the planters of the round cotton bale. am
enterprise In which he has invested large
sums OF money. To is a novel spectacle
when The antitrust planters OF the South
hobuob with the sugar trust king and
take pointers from him as 10 how they
themselves may Get into the trust BUSH
ness.
We DO not believe that tho farmers will
succeed in their undertaking The price
OF cotton. like the price of every other
commodity is regulated by the great law
- supply and demand When tine country
S. prosperous there will Dc a brisk de-
mand forgotten goods which will ln turn
create brisk demand for raw cotton.
and that means higher prices When
times are duh and when the demand for
cotton goods Is not brisk. raw cotton Will
also be ia poor demand and the price will
De low. We do not believe that Mr..
searlcs and the cotton planters of the
South can devise any scheme that viii
change these results
But suppose they should succeed Sup
pose by their bonded warehouse scheme
they should be abio 10 raise the price Of
cotton two or three cents a pound. and
keep 81 there regardless Of changed com
oltions which would naturally put the
price down. What would Doe the result
OF this Tho cotton planters or Egypt
and India and other cotton growing dis
trlcts would naturally increase their out
put. and while We might keep that cotton
out Of competition in America by putting
on il a prohibitory tariff we could not
prevent the millers OF England and other
foreign countries from buying the foreign
product Our farmers would then be
compelled 70 sell their cotton abroad az
the price Of the foreign article. or not
sell II al all outside OF America. 1t may
be contended that the cotton planters
could then ship their surplus cotton
abroad and sell II az lower price while
getting the bonded warehouse price for
all sold to American spinners. But what
would that DO for thu home factories?
The manufacturers OF South Carolina have
recently said that they have q large ard
growing trade IN China. but II they we're
compelled by the bonded warehouse
scheme 20 pay ten cents for cotton when
thu English factories were buying the Jaw
moterlsl 1t six cents PEI pound. 81 rs
evi.s clear that they would not be able.
