Philadelphia Record.
In spite OF the most artistic manip-
ulation of trade returns. the fact Is
patent that with the exception of cot
ton there is a decidedly backward tend
ency in American exports of products
of the farm. Even the export trade
in manufactures is not advancing, not
withstanding the policy of the trusts
in dumping their surplus products that
cannot be sold at home for what prices
they will bring in foreign markets.
Yet In this untoward condition, with
exports of agricultural products and
manufactures declining or at stand
still, the stand pat" champions have
been preparing to hail the election Of
Roosevelt as popular mandate in IA
Dingley tariff. The manufacturing
trusts may find their advantage in a
lop- sided policy under which this coun-
try is to appear chiefly as seller in

er the fanatics of protective spoliation

election of Theodore Roosevelt and of
a Republican majority in Congress
would be interpreted as a mandate of
the people to maintain the Dingley tar
If in all its barbarism. On the. other
hand, the election of Alton B. Parker
and OF a Democratic House would be a
popular command to relax a system
that is obstructing more and more the
commerce of the United States with
the rest of the world. There need be
no apprehension rs to the acquiescence
of the Senate in the will of the people,
thus plainly expressed at the ballot
box. The corsairs of the trusts thor
oughly understand this when making
contributions from their spells to the
Republican campaign fund.

after scattering showers were noted on
sunday and this morning the belt seem

receipts were seen to be expanding rap

The market closed very steady within
a point or two of the top or at a net
gain of Is to % points. sales were es-

bulls knew of stop orders around 10

showed noteworthy strength with Au-
gust selling up to 1854 and September
to 1923; on light covering through
commission houses. Galveston receipts
for tomorrow were estimated at $500
to 5000 bales against only last year
and Houston expects $500 to 6,100 bales
against last year.

10 CENTS AS MINIMUM
FARMERS SHOULD DEMAND THIS
FOR THEIR COTTON.
The World Needs the staple and Must
Have Ii and the Southern Farmer
Alone Controls the
Supply.

In view of the worldwide interest in
the probable yield of cotton this year
and of the remarkable close approx
nation of last years yield made, far in
advance of the governments estimate,
by S. +. b. Morse, then a member Of
the firm of Daniel ]. Sully & Co., Mr..
MorsCs estimate of the crop of this
year is of unusual interest.
Identified as Mr.. Morse has been COR
many years with the fight for fair
prices for cotton his estimate of a
yield not exceeding 11.250,0OO bales
this year, will command universal at
tention. Data gathered by him last
year were the foundation for the bull
campaign making possible the vast adj
ditions to the income of Southern
farmers.
For the data proved the great short
age of the crop. In an interview pub
lished in this weeks Manufacturers
Record Mr.. Morse takes the position
that excited speculation and appalling
fluctuations are not the best means for
the attainment of fair prices to the
grower. His contention now Is that
the South Is able and ought, through
the use of legitimate business methods,
to secure permanently fair prices from
the worlds spinners for product
which is essentially a natural monop-
oily.
In his interview commenting upon
the discussion by d. A. Tompkins,
published last week, of the question
how to maintain a fair average price
for cotton" taken in connection with a
recent interview as to cotton condi-
tions from a British standpoint, Mr..
Morse says:
The business brains of the South
have now within reach every necessary
facility for the prevention of any re-
currence of starvation prices for the
Souths great staple without having to
invoke the aid of speculative forces of
any sort or kind. 1t is purely bust

values by averaging the prices OF pre-

Liverpool was better than expected.
Cables said that present prices would

Locally soon after the opening prices
were advanced by aggressive buying.
This was followed by a slight reaction
but later on there was another upward
turn. The improvement in prices was
somewhat of a surprise even to enthu-
siastic bulls, although they claim that
the crop Is deteriorating all over the

Odd Old Laws.

Kansas City Journal.
One of the oldest sets of laws of the
Choctaw Nation has just been discov-
cred. One clause relates to the killing
of witches. For witchcraft the penalty
was death, and for alleging ones self
to be a witch or for saying that any
person was one was punishable by sixty
lashes on the bare back.
Another declared that no doctor could
take money or any of the belongings
of patient he treated II the patient
died. II the patient were raised UP
from a sick-bed the doctor could accept
what was offered to him. and II nothing
was offered, then he could take in goods
what was his just compensation.
In 1894 the Choctaw Council passed
an act which made a person who bar
gained to sell any of the Choctaw land
a traitor and punishable by death. Any
white man who encouraged such action
was deported. An Indian who sold or
disposed of land either to individuals
or to the United States in toto should
be considered a traitor and shot on con-
viction. This was just preceding the
work of the Dawes commission.
