The Kingdom Of Cotton.

1T is hardly too much to say
that cotton is now the basis of the
dominant industry of the world"
says Clarence IA. Poe, in the No
vember Worlds Work. "In their
primary forms, iron and steel pro-
ducts represent value of only
$l.7OO,0OO.OOO yearly, while the
estimated value of the worlds an
nuaI output of cotton goods is
$1,000, 100000. Twice as much
cotton AS wool is produced, and
three-fourths of the worlds cotton
supply is grown in the southern
section of the United States.
Twice the worlds total gold prod
uct last year would have been re-
quired to pay southern farmers for
lint and seed; ee-fourths of the
capital stock of all the national
banks in the country would have
been inadequate. Among our
American export crops, cotton
towers prominent, with S3oO.OOO,-
900 in value for the year ending
June 30. 1903 Q9Oi would make a
better showing), against less than
100000. 900 for all other agricul-
tural exports. In other words,
take all other animal and vegeta
BILE products exported any year

meal. oatmeal. fruits, vegetables,
liquors. tobacco. wine; cattle. hogs,
horses. sheep; beef, pork, mutton:

stores, etc. the entire contribu-
ton. except cotton. furnished the

farm, ranch, and forest, from
Maine to- California. from Michi-
gan to Texas. from Alaska to Ha-
wall take all this, and, with the
proceeds of one years cotton and

mortgage given on the next years.
the southern cotton grower could
buy the whole colossal a9grega

more $l00.000,0OO left AS pin
mouey, and as a margin of safety
for the mortgagee.'

that the great party to which belong
ordinarily believes in free speech"
This struck the convention and Mr..
Wright was accorded attention. AS
he proceeded. he said:
"On behalf Of that section Of Iowa
which sends democrats to congress
on behalf of Iowa democrats who did
not receive their political education
from Coins Financial SCHOOL, second
the nomination Of Judge Parker, or

Mr.. Wright at once left the plat
form amid great applause and confus-
ion. He proceeded down the aisle to
his seat. His colleagues, however,re-
fused to allow him to take his seat.
He was called many hard names and
finally had to be protected by an Off
Ger and given seat by the Georgia
delegation. The incident was one
of the liveliest of the session and for
a moment promised to be sensational.

family had grown UP. Pleasant and
yet here was a shadow, or wave OF
sorrow came over each one as ne
neared the house for there were alb.
sent ones; voices that had once
sounded in glad greetings were now
silent. The mother, who in times
past would come to greet her children
and grandchildren with wide open
arms of welcome, was not there. The
white-haired father, who was always
seen in the old armchair, was gone
So it is; sadness mingled with joy;
such is life.
The dinner was served on two long
tables under the shade trees in the
same yard where twelve years before
was served the golden wedding din
ner. A real old-fashioned picnic. din
ner was enjoyed by all. Chatting and
music was the next on the program.
Then ice cream followed.
There were fifty-five present, as
follows: Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Tandy,
