The Slump in Cotton.
Orleans States.

Inc slump III ~CaIOH.
New Orleans States.
The sudden slump il the mar
ket which has brought cotton
down to a figure that is below
the cost of production, and
which, unless action is promptly
taken to check the downward
tendency. will entail heavy
losses on the farmers of the
South, was expected by quite a
number of persons interested
in the cotton trade, who saw and
deplored the hasty action in
which a large portion Of the crop
was being thrown upon the
market. Early in November
Mr.. Harvie Jordan. president
of the Southern Cotton Growers
Association, delivered an address,
upon which the States common
ted editorially advising the
farmers to stand together and
hold back their cotton for better
prices than were then being
offered. At the time nearly all
the crop had been gathered,
debts had been generally paid
and Mr.. Jordan declared that
it was not necessary for the
farmers to sell the balance of
the cotton in their hands. He
called attention to the fact that
the price Of yarns had advanced
70 cents ii pound, an unprece-
denied demand for cotton goods
existed and the -spinners could
well afford to pay II cents a
pound for cotton.
In the light of what has oc-
Icurred the advice of MIR. Jordan
was good and the only regret is
that it was not generally followed
by the producers of the staple
throughout the South. AS we
have already said, the farmers
crowded the market and played
directly into the hands of the
bear spectators and ~spinners.
which caused prices to fall. and
upon the heels of this came the
governments estimate of a
12,00O,OOO bale crop and the
disastrous slump which it pre-
cipitated. There is a goodly
part of the crop, however, still
in the hands of the farmers, and
the advice that Mr.. Jordan gave
more than . month ago is
good now. Let every holder
of. cotton" he said, absolutely
stop selling, and sit down
lquietly at home and contemplate
results. Let each holder deter
mine to pnt no more cotton on
&he market until prices advance.
and never sell q bale on q de-

He advised that meetings be
held all over the cotton belt to
defend the SOuth's most valuable
lagricultursl product from the
rapacious greed Of the selfish
1speculatOr. The time. OF course,
Tor such action is gone, but

NISE'S IDEA or
LOCAL. POLITlC

John Fl Wise, foTmer Democrat,
but now stsuuoh Homo Ruler (O,
in an article published over his sig
nature in the Home Rule party
organ OF Saturday, Jon 30;h, for
which we give q synopsis Of the
same in free translation, taking
care to retain his views, he urges
Hawaiinns OF all classes and political
faith to unite on one common
ground aud make stand against
ell others.
He is OF the opinion that nothing
can be gained by Hswaiiaus by be-
ing with either OF the nationl parties,
because, duriog the fret campaign
in 1900, he urged Hawaii might be
saved, but that has not been gained
to this day. 1t is the same with Re.
publicsne, who made promises to
the people and nothing has been
realized from tbOt oource.
Those who wore the enemies OF
the people are still the ruling class
OF today and they are to be found
in the national parties. Nothing
can they do 10 order to eradicate
the sting they inaicted upon the
people, which still smsrts to this
present time. In the Democratic
party are cleo those who hate and
despse Hawaiians, and it lie the same
in the Republican party. Home
Rulers may not be able TO reslizs
their desires for the simple reason
they have no voice or representa-
tive to sustsin them in Congress.
He does not believe that anything
can be gained nor any relief be re
ceived by the people from Congress,
and he therefore thinks that what
they want to gain must gotten right
here, because they have the weapon
to DO it with right in their hands,
i. O., the ballot. A Republican Dele
gate ia now in Congress, but has he
had recognition I He has not been
consulted with in regard to certain
Federal appointments, but the Re-
publicsn enemies OF Hawaii say that
the President consulted one Hay
wood with regard to such appoint
ments.
And that, be says, is one reason
why the 9le should lot look to
either OF the national psrties. Will
COX was recopized, because Gear
could not get bis appointment
otherwise, but it was by and through
him. But our Psincely Delegate has
not been 90 recognized.
"Eip the bud whileit is young"
And By force Of numbers. the peo-
pie should be able to overcome all
obstacles in their way. Take the
lesson from our enemies, and
measure them with the same meas
ure with which they measured the
people. Let all Hawaiians be as
brothers, Iowa one another, and
without fear Hawaii will be lifted
sp and saved to her people
