The ethical discussions and explana-

the interest of young readers and to
do excellent work in training youth

trust may be formed to control the
sale of the crop. The organization
of the Southern Cotton Buyers As
ISOLATION is a movement in the di-
rection of controlling the cotton
crop in this country"
Recently Mr.. Hiss received a let
ter from a gentleman interested in
the cotton business in Germany stat
ing that the German government,
recognizing the evil of the business,
had refused to allow boards of trade
in that country to handle cotton flu
lures. This is a vindication of the
position taken by MI. Hiss, in an
address before the recent session of
the American Cotton -Manufactur-
ers' Association, in which he spoke
plainly of the evils to the trade re-
sulting from the Juggling in the cot
ton markets of the worlds. He pre-
dicted then that it would be neces-
sary for the trade to appeal for gov
eminent protection.
People who have given thought to
the subject are agreed that it will
be necessary for the manufacturers
of this country to combine against
the men who gamble in their raw
products. If relief does not come in
some shape, it will be but natural
for the manufacturers to quit pur-
chasing machinery and turn stock
gamblers themselves. - Charlotte

Deplorable Condition in Cotton Manu-
turing WOrld-Half Million Operatives
Out of Employment.

In an interview to-day with a rep
re~sentative of the Chronicle, Mr..
George B. Hiss, president of the
American Cotton Manufacturers As
ISOLATION, stated that he thought it
quite probable that, by the first OF
September, the total number of idle
spindles in the cotton manufactur-
ing world dependent upon American
cotton would reach 100000. When
it is considered that but 100000
of the 1875, 10000 spindles in the en-
tire world are dependent upon Amer
lean cotton, the Importance of this
statement can be realized. 1t means
that approximately 100000 people
will be thrown out of employment
and that, counting an average of $50
to the spindle, $9OO,OOO,OOO of CAPT
tai will be temporarily idle.
The suffering and financial loss
that will result will nto be confined
to the cotton manufacturing world
4. alone, but will affect many other in
dustries and avocations and hundreds
of thousands-ef other people.
MI. Hiss, what is the cause of
this deplorable condition? ?" asked the
reporter.
"The question can be answered in
one word-gambling," replied Mr..
Hiss. "The situation is an abnormal
one and there would never be any &C.
casion for its existence if it were
not for the juggling that is constant
ly going on in the cotton market. We
have this week had an example of the
work of the m~anipulators, in the
wild fluctuations in the cotton mar
kets. Nothing but the Juggling of
the manipulators runs the price of
cotton up so points one day and
down 100 points the next.
"It is not the high price of cotton
that hurts the trade" continued Mr..
Hiss, "but the absence of a fixed
standard of value. The price does
not stay up or down long enough for
the trade to become adjusted to the
situation, and the uncertainty of
what a day may bring forth makes
the position of the legitimate traders
always a p~recarious one. If there
could be some fixed and stable stand
ard of value, it would really make no
difference to the mills and the trade
at large whether the price of cotton
was 20 or 6 cents a pound. But
when a manufacturer makes CON
tracts for future delivery on a basis
of Scent cotton and is forced to pay
10 cents a pound when he goes into
the market for his staple, he suffers
at the expense of the big gamblers
who fatten on the substance of Iegit-
innate trade"
"What is the remedy" asked the
reporter.
81 am not prepared to say just
what remedy could be adopted" re-
piled Mr.. Hiss, "but it is very i'm
pOrtant that something be done, and
something will have to be done in

IT PASSES The HOUSE
Conference Report on Department Of
Commerce Bill Is Adopted
251 to lO.s

Washington, Feb. I.--The house yes
terday adopted the conference report on
the department of commerce bill-25l to
10. One republican (Mr. Littlefeld) and
nine democrats voted against this action.
Several democrats took the position that
the Nelson amendment" to the bureau
of corporations was a weak and ineffec-
tual attempt to provide the machinery for
corporation publicity Mr.. Mann Qll.i,
on behalf of the republicans contended,
on the contrary. that 1t was a better
measure Of publicity than had been pre-
sented in any other bill.
The remainder of the day was devoted
to the sundry civil appropriation bill. Mi.
Cannon, chairman of the appropriations
committee. gave notice that at the proper
time he would move two amendments, one
to provide for the purchase of a site and
the erection Of a three story 40o-room Of
fee building for members, to be connected
with the capitol by a subway, and to
cost s3,s00,000; and the other an appro-
priation of $2.50O.OO0 to carry out the
original plans for identifying and en-
larging the main wing of the capitol.
4 The notable feature Of the general de-
bate on the bill was speech by Mr.. De
Almond (Mo), on the Hanna bill to pen
sion ex-slaves. He spoke In sarcastic
vein. but the subject assumed a serious
phase when Mr.. Richardson CTenn.) said
that adventurers in the south were using
the bill to impose on ignorant. credulous
negroes and called on Mr.. Cannon to give
assurance that the passage Of such
measure was not contemplated. This
assurance Mr.. Cannon gave.
Mr.. Henderson Denies
The Post publishes an interview with
Speaker Henderson. in which he charac-
terizes as lies some published reports thai
he is fighting antitrust legislation. He
declares that he is in favor Of such 1egis-

NATIONAL LIFE AND TRUST co.
Remarkable Record Of an Iowa Company
Orqanized Four Years Ago.

The National Life and Trust company
of Des Moines, Iowa. in the four years
of it's existence has made a splendid rec
ord for itself and patrons. P. M. Starnes.
president Of the company, is a most sue
cessful insurance man, and is a tremen-
dous pusher for new business. His agrees
siveness has been responsible, in no little
measure for the high standing already
obtained by the National Life and Trust
company.
Elsewhere in this paper will be found
a statement of the assets, liabilities and
business done by this company, and a
list of the officers and directors. These
men are all we'll known and highly
esteemed in the business world for their
business ability and integrity. The CAPT
tai stock of the company is 100000.
The policies issued by this company are
the same as all the policies issued by
what is termed the "old-line companies
engaged in life insurance.
The men who have attacked the Ma
tional Life and Trust company are not
concerned about the justice of their at
lacks, but the general public ought to be
more discriminating. Every man who
examines the company is at once con-
WINGED that not only the plan is right and
honorable, but that it has been Loyalty
carried out.
