William plans ten cent
Cotton for Farmers.
Continued from First Page

brought about to protect the cot
ton cropSit is soon seen that the
law of supply and demand will do
the rest. Since the harvesting OF
the crop is gradual it will never
be necessary to control more
than one-fourth to one-thlrd OF
the same to dictate the price on
the whole crop.
"The plan proposed, while
gigantic, is very simple.
Last year the witham banks
of Georgia, by the aid of capital
borrowed in New York, advanced
money to it's farmer depositors
on warehouse receipts, held these
and the first rotes as securities
and waited the rise in cotton. 1t
came and the farmers sold their
cotton from SIS to $25 per bale
more than they would have had
the cotton been thrown on the
market when the money needed
by them was demanded.
What has been done by these
banks for the c. orgia farmers in
forty counties in Georgia can be
done for all of the farmes of the
south if the state bankers asso-
Citations of the cotton growing
states will get together and ar
range for this gigantic task.
STARTS THE BALL TO ROLLING.
Tt is for the purpose of dis
cussing the means and measures
that | have started the ball rolling
to hold such convention in At
lanta in January.
The plan which seems most
feasible to me at present is this:
Have the State Bankers AS
sociation bind themselves togeth-
er for this undertaking and be-
gin to arrange to control the cot
ton crop as it comes into the
market. Have this new organic
alton to be backed by the capital
and surplus of its full banking
strength. Money from eastern
and western money centers can
be easily secured for the months
of September to March, when
the money is needed in the 1arg-
est quantities to finance this
scheme through.
Have these bankers associa-
tons to own or at least control
100 bonded warehouses in each
state. Have these warehouses
fitted with the sprinkler ware
house system. This alone will
reduce the cost of insurance on
cotton from 50 10 40 cents. Have
a universal system of storage
rates. The cotton properly
stored can be guaranteed by a
surety company and these re.
ceipts hypothecated at any bank.
With the money advanced to
the farmer he can meet his ma
turing obligations and, assured
of the fact that his cotton is prop
erly stored and with the realiza-
ton that his cotton will Ultimate
ly bring 10 cents, for with all of
the crop stored in this way the
demand will force the price up, he
will be content 10 wait for the
rise.
we can secure the cC-opera-
ton of the cotton mills in the
south by supplying the raw ma
terial at a fixed price the year
round. This gives the mill man
a positive basis from which TO
figure and SCI tles the entire cot
ton goods trade on a basis free
from violent fluctuations.
TIME RIPE FOR RADICAL ACTION.
The farmers will be insured
a coed price for their cotton.
This means larger deposits all
the year round and the interest
on these deposits is no moons d.
able amount.

Editor Independent: l have just
heard Of the nomination of Hon.
Thos e. Watson as our candidate for
president. This is glorious news; and
/ know you feel good over it, too, as
you did SO much to secure this grand
result.
/ gave my name to j. s. Stone this
morning as campaign subscriber to
your paper. I am SO anxious to have
the full proceedings of our convention
before me and hope you Will send it
to me.
What do you advise us of this state
to do? We are in a chaotic state or
condition, without head, tail or body;
and worst of all without organization.
/ am too poor and feeble to canvass
the state and fear we shall not be
able to get Watson electors on the Of
fetal ballot; but, II we could, know
that Watson will poll more votes in
the state than Roosevelt WILL
Our election law provides that a
caucus may select candidates and have
them placed on the official ballot, and
! believe this will be our only re-
course as it would be impossible now
to hold state nomination.
II you will authorize me to take the
initiative / will see to it that Watson
electors are placed in the field at an
early date. Please write me Just how
to proceed. Or IL you do not have
the necessary power to act, please for
ward this to the official who has.
Poverty alone kept me from the
Springfield convention; put it cannot
hold my tongue and pencil; and am
therefore determined to do all can
for our cause. I am, no doubt, the
most hated man In Florida. because
! have hit the democratic party more
hard, effective blows, all above the
belt, too, than any man in the state.
So am proud of my work and feel
like pushing right on.

WISCONSIN.

No good purpose is accomplished by
concealing the true condition OF af-
fairs in any state. He who would de-
ceiye the enemy by practicing self
deception, is himself the fool. The
fact is that populism received a body
blow in Wisconsin as the result of
fusion with the democrats, and with
such man as Governor La Toilette
heading one faction of the republican
party, the outlook for rebuilding the
peoples party in Wisconsin is, at this
time, not very bright
The letter below is from one of the
members of the national committee
selected at Springfield. He does not
feel like accepting the position now,
but developments within the next
month may cause him to reconsider.
His letter is worthy of publication be-
cause Mr.. Freihube is typical Wis
consin populist. He says:

Some time in February or March,
last, Old Guard Enos B. Whitmore,a of
Rochester, N. Y, sent in a list of
names of former Monroe county pop

March 10, the cards being marked "en-
rolled by request OF E. B. Whitmore,"
and letters of invitation were sent

Not one of the number vouchsafed
a reply, and the secretary began to
think the cards should be cancelled,
when the letter following came to
hand this week, under date of July Is.
1t is of interest as showing conditions
in New York state, and as showing the
changed attitude of populists since the
Springfield convention. The writer,
Mr.. MANI, was delegate to Omaha in
1892, member OF the state commit
tee from 1895 on, and secretary of the
county committee from 1892 to 1897.
His letter follows:
