leaders are iubilsnt over the success Of
the Bryan wellington meeting out ss

that the bold position taken by the repub-

democratic column, and the democrats
perhaps the republicans slso-beleve the
effect OF yesterdays meeting VIII be far-
reaching.
While II has been known for some time
that Senator wellington would not sup
port Mckinley, there has been consider
able doubt whether he would come out
openly for Bryan. or would content HIM
self with remaining more or less passive
spectator upon the passing political snow.
Now. however that he has come out
openly and has shown his determination

by that adherence, even II he were a less
competent administrator than Mr.. McKln-

The Kansas City convention has put
great difficulties in the way OF the sup
port of It's candidates by men who held
opinions like mine, and who voted for Nc
Kinley in 1896. But the things in its plat
form to which l do not agree are not, for
the present, material. 1t is right on the
one present practical. dominant question.

In 1900 we have indeed a true battle toi

policy OF conquest and blood, he is right,
as he was not when he gave Il 10 the

These are the men who twelve months
ago declared that Neill knew all about 1t,
that American farmers were all liars. and
that cotton would be in plentiful supply.
Those Manchester and lancashire man
ufaoturers belong to that stubborn
English crowd TINT refused to buy
cotton all last season except when they
wero forced to. who kept predicting
lower prices and who paid more and
more for their purchases each month,
finally ending the season With their ware
houses bare of the staple needed to keep
their mills running.
And now these great commercial rulers,
sorely disappointed because another crop
Is below their expectations. cry out that
there Is = conspiracy In America 10 keep
down the acreage, are-h=s they will not
pay the exorbltant prices charged, but will
close their milLa fret
Can such men imagine that their pro-
nuneiamento will brighten those who have
cotton for sale? Don't they know that
Liverpool epeoulators will buy every bale
America can ship there this month"; DO
they really fail to realize that no matter
how great the effort 1t will be barely pos
sible for this country to supply cotton es
fast as Ii rs needed for the next thirty
days?
The Lancashire district Is not the only
manufacturing point that is bare OF cot
ton. The supply is short the world
over, and what tie final outcome will
be Is yet for Nature to decide.
The cotton that Lancashire needs, the
cotton that spinners everywhere are
olamoring for, has not yet been picked,
and may never be taken from tho fields.
The season has barely begun and several
disasters might occur in the next two
months that would destroy what even now
promises to be ONLY an average crop.
The only thing known at this time is
that the American cotton crop Will not be
of sufficient size to give the world com
Portable supply. 1t may turn out so far
below the trades need as to bring about a
veritable cotton famine before another
season begins. Instead Of falling or

expect the price may advance that much
