ONE EFFECT OF THE COTTON CORNER.

Things are prone to balance them
selves. When the cotton corner went
to pieces the other day and the cotton
king found himself discrowned and
bankrupt 1t was one of the instances
where natural causes combined to force
lutte corner on staple and necessary
commodities usually fail. The success
es come just often enough to prove their
possibility and infiame spectators with
hope. But they almost invariably fail
as they should.
Cotton spectators saw their oppor-
tunity to build an artificial scarcity
upon partial failure of the cotton
crop. The campaign has been in pro-
gress more than a year. Connton prices
have been crowded from 91a to
over II cents per pound within the year.
Sully had set his limit at 20 cents.
Other spectators lost their nerve and
sold. The smaller holdings came upon
the market and their aggregate weight
toppled down the card house the cotton
king had been year piling up. There
was a crash and card house, king and
corner on cotton went out of existence.
It was a good thing for the public tina t,
the scheme to rob it on every pair of
hose and yard of prints fell thru.
The evil effects of the cotton corner
have not, however, ceased with the
artificial scarcity created by 1t has
stopped the foreign mills which depend
upon the American product and created
the conviction in the foreign markets

to be depended upon to supply the

other sources of supply. They are try
Ing with success to grow cotton in
Germany, East Africa, Rhodesia, and
half a dozen other colonies. Foreign
governments are offering prizes and
subsidies for cotton growing. 1t will
be considerable time before these new
cotton belts can compete with the
southern United States but the move
anent has started and their competition
Is ultimately one to be feared. Few
southern farmers received the high
price for their cotton, but the entire
cotton growing south must in time pay

Colds Cause Pneumonia.

One of the most remarkable cases OF
a cold, deep-seated on the lungs, caus-
ing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude
q. Fenner OF Marion, Ind, who was

coughing and straining so weakened
me that ran down in weight from 14S
to nfnety-two pounds ! tried num-

of this wonderful remedy cured me en-

MAKING RECORDS.

A country exchange refers with great
pride to the representative of it's coun-
ty in the legislature, for the record he
has made. The fly in the ointment is
that the said representative is not in
harmony with the majority member
ship, and therefore his bills, framed in
wisdom, and presented in honor, have
come to untimely deaths. But the
splendor of the record is undimmed,
and there it is, a bright star to be
followed by aspiring statesmen.
There are times when some repre-
sentatives should preserve silence.
There are more times when all the
members should agree to introduce no
bills. Iowa does not need half the
things that her statesmen conclude she
needs If they We're better acquainted
with the people they would know that
many long-felt want was never felt.

ccmmendable moderation If they would

The above unsolicited article by one
of the leading daily papers in Burling-
ton cannot fail 10 serve as proof posi-
tive of the reliability of the institution
referred to. DR. Primes Sanitarium
was established in 1866 to meet the
requirements of those of the doctors
out of town patients whom he did not
wish to treat at the hospital, their
aversion to hospital service necessita-
ting boarding places and nurses, and
the incurrence of considerable ex-
penSe.
Once established in the present loca-
ton the size of the building seems
adequate to the accommodation of other
physicians in Burlington, who appre-
ciated the same privileges and since
that time the sanitarium has proved a
convenience, not only to out of town
people desiring quiet, and more Sc
cluded care than at public hospital,
but also to many of our best physic-
ians and surgeons who have patroniz-
ed it, and continue to recommend it
to others il the manner referred to in

thoroughly equipped and well up to
date in its methods.

STATEMENT Not True.

Thad NJ. Chapman, chairman OF the
Republican State Committee, has re-
ceived from n. G. Williams, president
of the Vermont Farm Machine Co., Of
Bellows Falls, letter which effectu-
ally disposes of a democratic allega-
ton. The letter, which explains itself,
is as follows;
The Vermont Farm Machine Co.,
Bellows Falls, VT, August 20, 1904
Mr. Thad NJ. Chapman, Burlington, VT
Dear Sir:-My attention has been
called to an article being published in
the Democratic columns of Vermont
papers which is headed, "a Concrete
Illustration for the Vermont Farmer "
The following is stated in that article:
"When Mr. Mandigo of Bellows
Falls went 10 the Vermont Farm Ma
chine Co to order butter print for a
friend, he was informed that the price
was $1,000 ordering it shipped to Der
by Line and mentioning thatthe friend
was IN Canada, he Was tOld thdl II ne
could guarantee that it was to go into
Canada, he could have it at the price
they sold in Canada, 500"
There is no truth in the above state
ment. We have no butter printers
priced at $1,000, never had any such
ana our prices in Canada are the same
as in the United States. That state
ment is in keeping with good many
other statements made inthe democrat.
ic columns and there is no shadow of
truth in it.
Very truly yours,
Vermont Farm Machine Co.,

Passengers Involved AS Accom-
pIices.

The st Louis Worlds Fair proves,
as everybody knew it would, an invit-
ing field for the ticket scalper, whose
sphere of operations has been for the
last few years growing small by de-
grees and beautifully less. The rail-
road managers, forwarned, have been
forearmed, and the courts of st Louis
appear to have no doubt either of the
law or their duty in the case. Fines
of $3.50 and $500, accompanied with
from ten to sixty days in Jail, are
handed out with neatness and dispatch
and the nefarious business is evidently
to be broken up from it's foundations.
Patrons of ticket scalpers, however,
have received an additional warning in
the fact that while they not only stand
to lose their money they are also like
ly to be involved as accomplices or
detained as witnesses for the prosecut-
ion. In anyway it is looked at, the
less the honest traveller has to do with
the scalper the better, for the apparent
saving in the transaction is likely to
prove in the end the most dearly
bought experience.-Brooklyn Stan
