sell, opens an avenue of though, that IS pleasant 10 contemplate bu, rather Utopian. That such a stable price proportioned to each seasons yield and the conditions of the worlds dry goods trade could be arrived at is not impossible be- canse present methods are report. ing both the condition and the yield of the cotton crop with a fair degree of accuracy, while knowledge of the trade require ments are better known than ever before, but a guarantee tha, each party to the agreement would carry out the contract IS almost if not entirely i'm. possible. Tho speculator is at all tunes to Dc watched and human nature is alike in both grower and spinner in wanting the best of the bargain. Lower prices in the open market would tempt the buyer to break with tho con. tract. while higher pr,ces than agreed upon would surely bring ont the farmers cotton.
 In it's last analysis there is a party who receives no considera. ton in such compact and who would certainly be heard from should such nn agreement be made. That IS the consurner-the buyer of cotton goods. The Amer ican people are exceedingly jealous of liberty and even though it might be shown that an agreed price was moro just and equitable than ono made in open competitive markets the people would nulhfy and repudiate a con- tract in which they were not asked to participate.
 In his efforts to secure a profit. able and stable price for cotton tho planter of tho South deserves and is bidden god-speed, but it is we'll to consider the economic limits that surround all conner. cial endeavor. - Commercial Alp.

GINNERS' FIGURES REQUIRED.

The following from the Lee County Courier is reproduced by request of Mir. Nj. N. Gaines, score. tary of the St. Francis County Division of the Southern Cotton Association:
 The ginners report of the cotton crop ginned. as promulgated by the Government and endorsed by lhe Southern Cotton Growers As. sociation, is m the interest of the planter, and all ginners should cheerfully comply with the request for a true report of their output And il will also Do noticed that q failure to do SO calls for quite a heavy penalty by fine and i'm. prisonment. We trust none of the ginners of Leo county will refuse to give tho data asked and lay themselves liable for non-compli- ance. It is a mistaken idea thai the report initiates against the in terest of the producers, but to tho contrary, as the endorsement oi tho Cotton Growers Association the planters best friend-proves

the officers of the law arc trying 70 make the antitrust act obnoxious when they arc complying with its plain mandate. What right has a prosecuting attorney to say that a valid enactment shall not be en- forced?
 There may be some bank in a small town which has unintention- ally failed to file the antitrust af. fdavit, but under this law it must pay inordinately for the omission. II the act is carried out and small corporations are driven out of business because they failed to file merely perfunctory affidavit, somebody is made to suffer. If this law cannot cause the gigantic trusts to suffer, it can obviously lay it's hands on the innocent do- mestic corporation and thus satis- fy whatever longing may exist on the part of the truculcnt politicians to gloat over some kind of q con- viction under the provisions of this enactment.-Arkansas Gazette.

 Indebted to Arkansas &21O,OOO |, Day.

It has been claimed that about l,2o0 corporations doing business in Arkansas are liable to a fine of s20O to S5,000 each per day since their alleged failure to file certifi- cates of their independence of trus, connections, under the provisions of the new anii-trust law. Pros ecuting Attorneys in number of circuits have instituted proceed lngs against many corporations claimed to be delinquent under this head.
 The suits arc based on the seventh section of the new act, in which il is provided that all incorporated companies doing business in this State shall make and file with the Secretary of State through either its president, secretary, treasurer or some of its Board of Dierctors, an affidavit in answer to a letter of inquiry to be mailed such incor' porated company on or about the first day of July of each year, touching the question as to whether such incorporated companies have all or any part of their interest or business in or with any trust, com bination or association of persons or stock holders as is mentioned in said act.
 Suppose there are 200 corpora tions that have violated the law Al the lowest estimate they render themselves liable to penalties 1T an aggregate of S2i0,00 for eaet ay'stransgression. In ,hese case, the gravamen of the alleged of fense is not that the defendant, are members of trusts, pools, com pines and other conspiracics ts lure the easy dollar from tn, pockets Of the people. It is tha these corporations have not sworr to their freedom from trust afiilia lions. The law makes 1t unlaw ful to fail 10 say you are not in , trust, gentlemen of the corpora tions doing business m Arkansas For each days silence on thi score, you must pay dearly, say the statute.

The meeting of the State Far.

The meeting of the State Far mers' Union at Little Rock last week marked the beginning of new era of progress among the farmers of the State. They are awakening to the importance of the position they occupy, and to a realization of the fact that they must help themselves if they are ever to enjoy the prosperity to which they are justly entitled, and they are going about the accom-. plishment of the objects of their organisation in a methodical and business like manner.

BERRY ISSUES ADDRESS,
Does Not Propose to 0O From Place to Place Abusing and ln-
 sulting Opponent.


 Little Rock, September 2.-Sen. ator J. H. Berry has issued q four column address to the people of Arkansas in which he never men. tions the name of Jeff Davis.
 He announced that he will not engage in joint canvass for the office.
 He says he has "no ambition to go from place to place in a personal canvass, indulging in abusive and insulting language towards an opponent.
 He says he has never sought office on the demerits of another and never will. His record IS open to discussion, but no man has a right to falsify, miss,ate and misconstrue it.
 He says he is in favor of tariff reform, freight rate control by interstate commerce, and law making it crime to deal il futures. He says he has always fought for tho farmer and look ed after the interests of tho State and that he has never accepted { railroad pass, never hired mar to work for him at the polls, and never traflickcd in politics.
 "Joint personal debates" he added, "between Democrats seek ing nominations for tho past five years in Arkansas have been ot such naturc as greatly to in jure the good name of tho State both at home and abroad, and have done infinite harm to the party"

HAS NO TIME TO SPARE.
J. J. Hill Will Not Take Part in
Equitable Investigation.

New York, April c6.-James J. ELL,
who was selected by the directors of
the Equitable Life Assurance society
as one OF the committee to investi-
gate into its affairs, said during the
day that it was not true as reported
that he had refused to act with this
committee because of any differences
or friction with any of its members.
Mr.. Hill said that his own affairs took
up so much OF his time that he had
no spare moments to devote to other
matters. The Equitable affair, he
added, is matter of great impor-
lance and he felt that he must de-
cline to serve on the committee I'M
less he could participate in very
thorough examination of the society's
affairs. He had no doubt, he said,
that the committee headed by Mr.
Prick will leave nothing undone in
the examination. Mr.. Hill said he felt
some time ago that the time mig bt
come when the policyholders o. the
Equitable society would demand a
thorough investigation. He said also
that as result of this controversy
the business Of life insurance would
be put on more careful basis.

New York. April ga harmonic
ing of powerful and recently antag-
onistic interests in the financial world
has been accomplished, says the
Times, which probably will check the
ambitions of certain Pacific railway
interests.
1t is learned from excellent sources,
the paper continues, that an under
standing has been reached by the So
called Rockefeller interests, the Nor
gan interests and the Hill interests
by which the holdings of Union Pa
cifc stock of these men and their
friends will be voted as a unit for
purposes of deciding all questions az
fecting not only this property but its
relations to other railroads as well,
and that as a consequence of such
understanding it is probable that the
proposed $1o0,006,000 issue on pre-
ferred stock of the Union Pacific may
not be authorized at the meeting
which is to be held on May at Salt
Lake City. ~
