that you are "wracked and screwed" by
the white paper trust, the clothing
trust, the coal oil trust, the food trust
in short, in everything you use from
the nursing bottle to the coffin and
monument, and you know l know you
know it. The Capitalization of capital.
istic power is fearful menace to the
industrial freedom of labor, of produce,
OF small business and of small property
holders. This danger is growing fast.
There is but one way to prevent wealth
ruling the people, and that way is for
the people to rule the wealth. The
whole movement toward monopoly is
becoming more rapid, comprehensive
aud powerful. The organization of the
people into an industrial corporation is
the only escape from capltalistic tyr
amy and social anarchy. This econ.
omlc Toe Is far more to be feared than
all the allied powers of Europe. Yet,
blinded by party predjudices, ignor-
ance OF the real situation, by SUPER
stitlons from the dark ages, we are too
slow taking an un biased, comprehen-
sive aud progressive view of these facts.
One condition prevailed in each OF
the great nations when they fell: A
very small per cent OF the people con
trolled the wealth of the nations. The
United States is very near this condi.
ton. 1t Will not do to trifie with the
question. IL is the most serious the
nation has met, Every suggestion
should be considered seriously. The

The editor of The LEADER is in re-

which explains itself. We give it space
simply because the writer processes to
believe we are bound by party ties and
a bloody oath to suppress everything of

editor:

Editor LEADER:
The Republican party is justly proud

DROPS LIKE A SHOT
DOWN A HALF CENT,
Cotton Values Took Tumble
Yesterday.
PRICE IS NOW UNDER SEVEN CTS
Another Slump in Values Follow the
Ho idays And Aggressive Bears Still
Busy -AmeFicus Pays IL Cts
For Best Grades.

Six and half cents for good cotton
is the low level price to which the
market dropped yesterday, aud it may
go much lower still, in the opinion of
Americas cotton men. In fact, it
seems now that there is no bottom for
the market to touch upon.
A clear loss of IS points, or nearly a
half cent, was sustained yesterday,
and this, on top Of the fearful slump
already chronicled makes it sad sea-
son for King Cotton.
A $4,000, 900 bale crop now seems to
be pretty we'll assured.
Hester's estimate, just issued, is fol
crop of II, 900, 900 bales or nearly $780,.
600 more than the government bureau
report which, on Dec. 3rd, sent the
market whistllng from 81 cents to T
cents and even below.
And confronted by such unfavorable
conditions, holders of cotton appear tc
have little to hope for. There are still
in Americas, as in other towns here,
and in the country, many thousands oil
bales which are thus held, and are de,
preciating in value.
There were no sales at the ware
houses here yesterday, and no receipts
What the result of this latest sluml
will be can only be eurmised, bu
holders will not sell now.

XMAS IS PASSED IN
A QUIET WAY HERE.
Americas Had an Enjoyable
Season.
NO RLooDsHED MARS OCCASION

ness and Christmas, 1904, Goes
Upon Record as One of the Quiet
est and Best Ever Known.

With the passing of the Christmas
holiday season Americus can look with
pleasure and pride upon the quIetest,
most peaceful aud orderly occasion of
like kind in her history; one unmarried
by tragedy and crime; one given up
wholly TO enjoyment
The spirit of Christmas was every
where manifest, and was imbibed in
manner as intended.
Unlike other cities less fortunate,
there was not the slightest disorder,
not personal difficulty to be chron-
icled, and less 1ntoxlcation than ever
seen here upon like occasion.
This truth was evidenced by the
records of the police court yesterday.
Many cases were on the docket, but
largely for shooting fireworks upon
the streets. There were few mild iags
to be investigated, but these had re.
suited in no harm, and the mayor was
lenient.
What Georgia city can show such a
record as can Americus?
Then from business and trade
standpoint 1t goes upon record as the
best ever. Never had Americus mer-
chants been accorded such Christmas
trade, and in discussing the situation
yesterday all of these, without an ex-
ception, were highly pleased.
Amerious people enjoyed the holt
day, both Sunday and Monday, pleas
antly, quietly and nationally. They
added TO the enjoyment of others by
liberal gift giving and in contributing
to the comfort and happiness of others
among them less fortunate.
There are no tears, no regrets here as
theresult of Christmas. OnIy sunshine
and gladness marked the day in pros
