HOUSTON, FRIDAY, July ~, 1900.
TEN PAGES TODAY.
PROTECTION TO COTTON GROWER

Georgia has taken the initiative In an
organization to Insure co-opArstion
among cotton growers with the view OF
gathering accurate statistics. as to pro
duction, upon which the price at which
cotton shall be sold may be understood
and regulated. Alabama has followed Geor-
gia in similar organization. 1t is ev-
pected that other cotton producing States
will enlist in this movement. The plan
OF organization is thus presented BY con-
temporary;
1t is proposed TO gather accurate statistics
through the aid OF subassociatons In every
county. The secretary OF each subassoclauou
will oe expected to send in W. elly Or monthly
reports to the State association, and even
tualv the idea 10 for each state ass Ga
ton TO forward its data TO a general cotton
states association. The idea is that ia this
way absolutely accurate data can be obtained
as to the progress OF the crop during INC
CROWNS season, and it's size 10 bale aseer d.
tanned as soon as the gins have completed
their seasons labor.
Commenting upon this movement and its
Likelihood OF success the New Orleans
Picayune says;
While our cotton grower friends arc prob
ably oversanEuine 40 TO the ease with which
accurate data can be complied. II Is, never
theless, a move in the right direction to aim
at securing as accurate da.a as possible.
The farmers claim and probably with JUS
tice tnat their interests have been dam
aged by Incorrect estimates based upon the
most meager Information. and they propose
70 furnish all interested with as accurate in-
formation as II is possible to secure.
The plan for controlling the price OF cotton
is simply to enlist the aid OF the bankers
IN each State to assist the planters to hold
their cotton when necessary, SO that the en-
tire crop Will not be crowded on tho marke
al once. II is expected that the banks vii
advanre money TO the farmers at q reason
alba rate of interest and accept their cotton
store,l in a warehouse as collateral In othel
words the farmers propose to market theil
crop deliberately. They do not propose e
initiate the Farmers Alliance plan of ASK
ing the government to advance money, or tt
store the bulk OF the crop In warehouses
AMI hold 1t there until the spinn r. are forced
to paw the price demanded.
The aims and purposes of the recently or
Eanizec cotton growers associations seen
eminCutly reasonable and practicable, and II
the control OF the associations remains
conservative hands, there Is no doubt ut al
but that they might greatly aid the cottor
growers 10 better their condition
whether this plan will eifectualy re-
lieve the farmer OF manipluaions which
keep him in ignorance OF the true market
value OF his cotton and make him the easy
victim OF the Spectator. can only be de-
termlned by test But there can be nc
ioubt but that an accurate knowledge OF
woductlon when added to knowledge OF
lie worlds supply and demand. will enable
he cotton grower in many instances, par
icularly when independent OF creditor
o hold his cotton for the best price.

failing to do his duty, enabled the Ice
trust in New York City to thrive on It's
Ubiquitous way.
The success OF the plunderers in New
York has encouraged the institution 81 en-
ice combine in Chicago. and now the poor
OF that city are hopelessly protesting
against a situation like that which aroused
the indignation OF the honest press OF New
York. In Chicago, through the operations
OF trust, ice has been advanced 20 per
cent over usual rates to families and small
dealers, while the heavy purchasers, able
to meet such an advance without suffer-
Ing, buy at the old rates. The Chicago
Chronicle thus explains the situation:
Ice will cost buyers OF fewer than 10000
pounds so cents moro on the 1000 pounds from
this time on. Tho riso will materially swell
the Golfers OF the Knickerbocker and other
rich concerns. and will cause much suffering
and Inconvenience among the poor.
The increase was unexpected on the part
Of the consumers and was made at the crit
ical season OF the year when the average
family refrigerator appears to consume tho
geld substance with the avidity OF cor.
morant.
The advance OF 20 per cent. from $3.50 to 81,
or any ADVANCE Tor tnat matter, was all IRE
more surprising for the reason that the
magnates who control the greater part Of the
natural supply In and about Chicago an
nounced early In the season that the croo
was plentiful enough TO warrant them in
selling the commodity at about the same av-
erage price as last year But the rise has
been announced and as is generally the case
when staple commodities are given boost
in the interests of trade conditions the small
consumer is the principal II not the only
sufferer.
Under this arrangement hotels, restaur-
ants and meat markets are not affected
because they contract for large supplies
which enables them to escape the advance
and leaves it to fall exclusively upon the
housekeeper and small consumer.
1t is the same old story, moderniaed In
the American trust. OF wealth grinding
away the liberty and substance of the
poor.
Surely the American voter will arouse
himself to the fact. before 1t is too late,
that he has an enemy at his door to OPP
pose far more insidious and dangerous
than any armed foe which might assail
him from without.
