ITS POLITICAL EFFECT
INFLUENCE OF THE RECORD.
BREAKING COTTON CROP.
Mills Will Be Able to Resume, Opera
tives Return and Business Will
Be Improved.

The effect of cotton production on the
coming campaign is a subject that has
proved interesting to politicians since the
statement of the Department of Agriculture
was issued last Saturday. The consensus
of opinion on the part of both republicans
and democrats is that, SO far as the in
creased cotton yield of the coming year
concerns the political world, it will tend to
the advantage of the republican candidates
In that 1t indicates conditions that will
make for added prosperity for both the
south and the north.
The cotton report of the Department Of
Agriculture shows an increase of the area
planted in cotton of 2,SOO, 600 acres COM
pared with last year. This brings the area
planted in cotton up to over 31,OOO,0OO
acres, which breaks the record in the his
tory of the industry.
The crop of last year was worth $780,
OO0,OOO or $160, 900, 600 more than the crop
of the previous year. During the year cot
ton has reached the high water mark of
II cents pound, and it is now worth about
11h cents.
Under ordinary conditions the increase Of
the acreage of 9.S per cent would result in
breaking the market to disastrous degree,
but the cotton supply being depleted all
over the world with shortage of cotton
goods produces a condition. in the opinion
of cotton experts that will prevent the
lowering of the price beyond profitable
margin for the producers ana making the
value of the total yield about as great as
was the value Of the crop In the present
year.
The political significance of the pros
nectiye increase in the volume of the crop
and the lowering of the price lies in the
fact that especially in Rhode Island and
New Jersey. where many cotton mills have
been closed on account of the high price
and the short crop, there will be resump-
tion of business and thousands OF idle men
and women will 60 back to work. This re-
suit. it is expected, will be realized next
fail SO that it will have an effect In these
states during the campaign.
Everyone acknowledges that continu-
ance of prosperous conditions will vastly
nelp the republican ticket.
Massa achusetts mills have also been az
fected by the condition of the cotton mar
ket but in that state the closing OF mills
has largely been avoided. But Rhode Is
land and New Jersey, which are regarded
as fighting ground for the democrats, will
feel the effect of the changed condition In
q very material way.
The profitable crop will also have re-
Aex effect on New England and the middle
states by the increase of trade resulting
from the large purchasing power OF the
south and business men place that influence
very high among the elements that make
for prosperity. s5
No one undertakes to predict any import
ant advantage for the republicans In the
south itself on account of these conditions.
At the same time prosperous conditions
there are regarded as affecting the country
in opposition to any political change.

The First Ballot.

. 1t Is quite Impossible at this time to
make anything like an accurate computa-
ton of the strength Of Parker, German and
Hearst on the first ballot. Every table that
is published varies from another for the
reason that over many delegations there
are disputes as to which candidate they
really favor. The New York Tribune's table
gives Parker 202 and the World allows him
2eO. The Tribune gives Hearst 131 and the
World figures out only 104 for him.
Detailed statements are necessarily in
acurrate and misleading at this time and
no one will be able to approximate the rela-
tive strength of the candidates for two
or three weeks. Some of the most I'M
portant state conventions will be held in
the last week of this month, notably ILL.,

Carolina, Vermont, North Dakota and
