THE SOUTH.

New Orleans, La. Jan. 10, 0'4
Tonight several hundred of the
leading business men of New Orleans
and probably fifty of the wealthiest
cotton planters in the South listened
to the story of the Sully- Brown Hayne
bull cotton campaign of last spring
and summer as related by these gentle
men themselves The occasion was
an "infrrmal held in the rooms of
the Progressive Union and Daniel J.
Sullv of New York was the guest of
honor Several interesting talks were
made, the theme Of all being ''high
priced cotton and the~beariDg it is
| having on Southern progress and pros
perity. President Britain Of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange and Messrs.
Brown and Hayne talked of the Won
derful prosperity the South has enjoy
ed since the value of cotton has in
creased, while Mr.. Sully, who has
only lately cast his lot with the South,
read carefully prepared paper, 60
ing deep into the subject of the cause
with led up to the present level of
raw cotton values and the cause which
will contribute to uphold this level.
Increasing demand land decreasing
supply and deterioration in the pro-
ductive quality of cotton seed were,
of course, behind values but there are
many qualifications of which the pub
lie yet knows little or nothing Mr..
Sully's opinion of the south, and the
cotton planter in particular should
keep fully informed as to supply and
demand, and he advocates extending
the channels of information in order
that the people may be fully inform
ed He pointed out the rapid expan-
sion of the worlds markets, and
added that we have already reached
a stage where the world is in need
Of IL, 900, 600 bale crop of American
cotton. Recent events, notable a |
most remarkable period of strikes and |
labor troubles have crippled the re-
sources of the people and this is all i'm
portant factor in the recent trade de-
preston and restraint upon the mar
ket The purchasing power of mil
lions of our people has been reduced
to delay an advance in the price val
ues Of cotton goods to correspond with
the higher values of raw cotton He
traced the scores of new requirements
for cotton, all of which illustrated the
strength of the cotton planter and as
sured good prices for years to come.
while am of the North and my
property interests are there, and |
trust my friends whose interests, as
we'll as my own, feel it bounden
duty to regard, yet am free to con-
TESS that after careful study of the
question through period of several
years, have gradually come to the
that there is very much
that is wrong said Mr.. Sully.
This condition was one of the dom
mating factors in the determination
Of my judgement and action in 1902
am impressed that the South has not
such value for it's cotton as {
the existing labor conditions justify. {
The causes lies far back in the past j
when the South, through sad mis- 6
fortune, was impoverished. Its op-
for long period were linn S
ted in the employment of its labor. i
The fundamental conditions resolved I
he question into simple matter of
struggle for existence. These forces q
became crystalized. The struggle has a
necessarily and very naturally been
continued upon lines similar to all I
business until means were available f
or the removal of the disintegrated Y
dement's. This condition appears {
low to have arrived and the sooner it q
8 recognized the better will be the
esults to all concerned &c
Mr.. Sully pointed out that. the R
7orld must look to the further develop b
lent Of the South for an increasing a

Instability Of systematic methods for d.
ringing into the cotton country 81
thousands of settlers and also the te
rgent necessity for using more care q
