The next issue of the American Cotton
Manufactures will say:
This wave of discussion which is
sweeping over the cotton growing states
proves the earnestness with which the
growers of cotton rebel against prices
being forced upon them which are below
the cost of production.
1t invariably takes lot of punishment
to overcome the inertia of such a large
and unwieldy body as the cotton planters.
Manufacturers are in G. better position to
protect themselves than are those who
supply them with their raw material.
Each heel of tEe farmer is vulnerable,
and until one is shielded by information"
and the other fortified by Organization"
he can never hope to be eo-equal with
his customer, the spinner.

New Orleans meeting will excite world
wide concern. At that convention will be
focused the result of the ideas presented
by tens of thousands of planters in their
preliminary township, county and state
gatherings. They must entirely discard
the notion that there is any reason for
antagonism between themselves and the
spinners. Large profits to mills do not
necessarily follow low prices for cotton.
Indeed, the reverse generally holds. ABB
normally high prices, however, such as
obtained during the height of the Sully
campaign, are confessedly inimical to the
manufacturer. He desires reasonable sta
bility much more ardently that he Graves

Organization.
Time was when cotton spinners and
manufacturers. both at home and abroad
thought little and cared less about organ
ization. Since then events have forced
upon them the necessity of concerted
action. They began by forming scattered
associations in the several manufacturing
countries of Europe which gradually
merged for general purposes into larger
and more important declarations. from
which was evolved at Zurich, Switzer
land in May of last year. the Interna-
tional F Federation OF Master Cotton Spin
ners and Manufacturers.
