To Break Cotton Gamblers.

A contributor to one of the New York
financial papers presents a suggestion to
spinners by which they may meet unreal
soning speculation in cotton. Because OF
the apparent efforts of spinners to combine
against gamblers in cotton the suggestion
is Interesting and may be mertorious. The
contributor as preface to his remedy says
that lat this juncture some of the same
spectators who upset the cotton markets
of the world last year have undertaken to
manipulate the price of cotton again" HIS
plan to prevent undue manipulation is ITO
allow all supplies of cotton to remain as
long as possible in sight in the warehouses
of New York. New Orleans, Liverpool and
the other ports. The presence of the cotton
there will not only discourage corners and
other unreasonable fluctuations but will
also enable the spinners promptly to real
ize on their cotton II at any time they find
II more profitable to sell the cotton than to
spin it,"

undertaken to manipulate the price of cot

is to be real and substantial cutting down

The Wall Street Journal has compiled
some figures comparing the increase in gov
eminent expenditures with the increase
in the country's population and wealth. In
1850, when the ordinary expenses Of the
government amounted to $60056.OO0, the
population was 81 100000 and the national
wealth sixteen billion dollars. In 1903.
though government expenditure had pro-
gressiyely increased to SIT, 542.65S popula-
ton had grown to S3.G00,G0O and the ma
t1onal wealth to one hundred billion dollars
While the government expenditure In 1885,
under the second Cleveland administration
was so.16 per capita, it was 1925 in 1903,
put the per capita wealth increased be-
tween 1893 and 1903, and not many persons
Will honestly contend that the average
American was not better able in 1903 to
pay S626 for the maintenance of his gov
eminent than $J.16 in 1895
