damage resulted, though nothing re-

we do not propose to stand fiuctua-
ton from cent to cent and half

York gamblers. We can grow the grades

Mr. Jordan called upon the spinners to an
sYer the question as to what the consump-
tion OF cotton would be for the year 1906.
None of them was In a position to say. j.
r.. Montgomery of the National Associa-
tion of Cotton Manufacturers expressed
sympathy with the desire of the growers
to get profit from their product. He said
that If the growers had an association that
was strong enough and powerful enough

to fix the price of cotton and maintain It..
he would guarantee that the manufactur-
ers of the world would adjust the price OF
their goods to that of the raw material
He gave as an illustration the fact that he
had known cotton to sell as high as 81. 81
per pound and that the manufacturers
made a profit under those conditions
Mr. Hickman of the American Manfuc
turers' Association said that the question
of Mr. Jordan could not possibly be an
swered because the mills consumed diff
ferent quantity of cotton each year, accord
ing to the sale of the goods they were
making The trade, he said. varied con-
siderably.
Messrs. MacAlister and Gregg of England
entertained a similar view. The former
maintained that the spinners of the world
are not making enormous profits, but only
interest on their capital invested. In Eng
land he said they are satisfied with or

they are making more than per cent on
their capital

Words of Advice.
Mr.. F. D. Smith of Arkansas then started
in for what promised to be a mild-man-
nered talk He said the interests of the
growers and the spinners are parallel, and
that there is even reason why they should
get together on a reasonable basis. He
did much TO calm the feeling that had
apparently been aroused among the spin
ners by Mr.. Livingstons aggressive talk.
But he then started out and gave the manu-
facturers few words of kindly advice on
his own account. He said 1t is quite true
no mechanical cotton picker had been in
vented, the cotton picker invented in Africa
several million years ago Is the only one
which would fill the bill. The negro. he
said is able to stand the heat and the hard
work of the cotton field as the white man
cannot, and hard labor is an essential fea-
ture In producing the crop.
AS to the worlds cotton supply he said:
you need not bother about that We Will
produce all the cotton that the world wants,
but we win produce it at a fair price. There
is no need for you to go into Africa, to
Australia or the Argentine and make costly
experiments In cotton planting. Take the
money that you sink in these experiments
and add 1t to the price which you pay
for southern cotton and we will give the
world all the cotton 1t needs. We already

icisnos Of southern methods, Mr.. Livingston
said the south had never till WITHIN the
mast two wears attempted TO practice re-
styietjon OF acreage. They had, ne salu'

traated the manufacturers of their ra"
nroducts 1t was asked in the north why
the southerner complained of the prices ne
had 70 nav for the necessarfes OF llte, ana
yvhv he did not raise them on his own 1arm
instead of buying them from the west ana
the north Mr. Livingston said In reply
that II the south devoted enough land 10
raising her own eatables, the cotton crop
would be restricted to seven or seven ana
a half millions of bales. This would raise
a howl In the north and would not De
enough for the worlds consumption.
But the people of the south, the speaker
said. are coming to this idea. They know
that as long as the great packing and grain
interests of the west continue to dominate
the market so long they will have to pay
dearly for meat, corn and mules. But they
would hereafter raise them at home.
.1f they live a few years and the Lord
gives them a little sense" he declared.
s.they will hold up the crop and make the
spinners come to them to buy instead OF
having few northern spectators come
into the southern fields and buy few hum
